In the quiet courtyard, two gray-faced people sat on the grass.

Lu Mingzhu's chest no longer oozed blood, but his clothes were covered in blood, as if he had just climbed out of a pile of dead people.

His healing ability is extremely strong and he cannot die. There is nothing the monster can do to him.

After a while, he said silently, "Actually, you don't need to save me. I can't die anyway."

These words were mixed with some nameless sadness and regret in the night wind.

"You won't die, but you will definitely be tortured to death by that monster." Muning glanced at him.

This monster has mountains of bones under its body, all of which were sucked to death. It is a complete obscenity.

The look in Lu Mingzhu's eyes seemed to swallow his life.

Lu Mingzhu naturally heard the overtones of Mu Ning's words, snorted softly and said nothing.

"Where are we going now?" the arrogant young man asked softly.

"Mu Ning?"

Hearing no response, Lu Mingzhu looked back at the slender figure sitting on the ground. The soft moonlight fell on the girl's trembling shoulders, so fragile that they seemed to break at a touch.

Lu Mingzhu gently tugged on the girl's sleeve, tilted his head and looked at Muning who turned away, his pupils trembling slightly.

The girl's slender eyelashes were hung with tears, as clear as hibiscus. The tears stayed on the girl's fair cheeks for a moment and then slid down her neck. She softly suppressed her sobs, but her shoulders could not help but tremble.

Lu Mingzhu's throat seemed to be entangled with some inexplicable emotion, and he couldn't make a sound, but there was a slight tingling pain in the wound.

It doesn't hurt as much as it did during the fight.

Subtle, prolonged, and increasingly severe pain.

The hands still stained with solidified blood touched the girl's tears with their clean backs.

Both of them were stunned. Muning didn't expect Lu Mingzhu's actions, and neither did Lu Mingzhu himself.

The girl raised her red and swollen eyelids and blinked the water. Her vision was blurred and she looked at the person beside her through the faint water vapor.

"Are you... unhappy? When I am healed, I will kill all the monsters in this cave." Lu Mingzhu was a little nervous when he was stared at, so he let go of his hand and twisted.

He thought Muning was crying because he was worried about this monster.

Muning shook his head, "No, I just feel that I am too weak."

At the critical moment, she used her impunity to lead Lu Mingzhu out of the cave.

When Buran let go, she vaguely recalled that someone had taken away her spiritual sword from her previous life before she died.

"The fifth rule of the Sword Sect is not to abandon your weapon and run away." Muning said, "I cry because I am too weak, and Bu Ran cannot show his true strength in my hands."

Muning spread out his hand and immediately clenched it.

"I want to become stronger and take back Buran!"

-

Lu Mingzhu's injuries were extremely serious. No matter how strong his healing ability was, he would not be able to recover for a while. Muning dragged him back to his house.

[Lord Demon Lord, why are you so seriously injured! ?You don’t know how to avenge your personal vengeance! 】

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuchu, there is so much blood, if I had known earlier, I should have been taken with you, wuwuwu]

【…】

Muning rolled his eyes at the crow outside the window. In his mind, the crow was as noisy and annoying as the busy city.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll throw you into the snake's nest."

【…】

Lu Mingzhu was seriously injured, so Muning graciously gave him his bed.

He found a quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the floor.

She is a Taoist, so she is used to practicing with the sky as her bed and the earth as her bed, so naturally she doesn't care about it.

But Lu Mingzhu seemed a little twisted, but he couldn't resist Muning, so he had to lie down obediently.

The weak candlelight was extinguished, and the room fell into darkness. While Muning was still telling Yan everything that happened tonight in his consciousness, a voice came from the tent.

"I didn't kill anyone."

"Ah?" The girl sat up suddenly, wondering what Lu Mingzhu meant by this.

"what are you talking about?"

The nightmare in the body thought of it first.

[The Demon Lord may be answering what you said tonight in the lotus pond: "If you kill someone, you are the enemy."]

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible. When she saw Lu Mingzhu feeding lotus essence bones, she did ask him if he was killing people to take bones.

This nightmare understands Lu Mingzhu.

Lu Mingzhu continued, "I didn't kill anyone that night. I just randomly found a corpse from a mass grave and fed it to the Lotus Essence."

The man's voice was as calm and emotionless as ever, but Muning felt that his tone was not so inhumane.

In the dark night, only the beast can see clearly what is going on inside the house.

The crow resting outside the paper window opened its dark eyes and saw his young master turning sideways, eyes like abyss staring unblinkingly at the person on the floor, with expectation, joy, and himself. Unconscious admiration.

Lu Mingzhu's wound didn't seem to hurt much anymore, but his heartbeat there was pounding, as if a flood beast was about to rush out of his heart.

He was lucky that it was too late that day and there was no one on the street, so he went to the mass grave and dragged a random corpse to feed the lotus essence.

Fortunately, although he is cruel and ruthless, his hands are still clean so far.

Muning nodded, holding on with both hands, "That's good, then we are not enemies."

Lu Mingzhu, I hope we will never be enemies.

Mu Ning did not say the second half of the words.

【Mu Ning. 】

"What's wrong?" the girl asked in her spiritual consciousness.

[I always feel that Demon Lord...forget it, it's okay. 】

"..." Muning was simply fed up with this guy's bad habit of half-talking.

Nightmare pretended to be stupid again, refusing to say anything no matter how much Muning tried to coerce him.

If you say this, it will rot in your stomach.

It always felt that Demon Lord was targeting Muning.

It didn't know when Lu Mingzhu took Muning to heart, but at least it knew very well that Lu Mingzhu fell in love with Muning again just like in his previous life... maybe he didn't even notice it himself.

"I don't eat bugs." After an unknown amount of time, Lu Mingzhu spoke again.

Wake up Muning and Nightmare who were about to fall asleep.

"..."

【…】

Lu Mingzhu felt very aggrieved. He was about to starve to death in the mountains and forests once, so he roasted insect pupae and snakes and ate them because he had nothing to eat.

He only ate it once! That’s what you eat if you have no choice! He's not dirty at all!

Muning scratched her head in embarrassment. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect that Lu Mingzhu would care so much.

"Okay, okay, I understand. You are the cleanest, okay?" Muning comforted her repeatedly.

She found it strange when she thought that the demon king who would disturb the peace between the immortal and demon worlds was now worrying about whether to eat bugs or not.

[Can you please stop teasing our Demon Lord all the time? He will take it seriously! 】Nama said, fighting against injustice.

Muning rarely quarreled when he looked at this monster with his elbows turned outward.

"understood."

Why hadn't she noticed that Lu Mingzhu had such a delicate mind before? How many other things had she done to inadvertently hurt the heart of an innocent boy...
