Zhaozhao was stunned for about two or three seconds before her brainwaves gradually caught up. After reacting, she began to struggle desperately to push away Su Yuan's embrace.
Oh my god, could it be that he's discovered my identity and wants to arrest and lock me up! Zhaozhao thought anxiously.
"Su Yuan... Great Monster... Let go of me!" Zhaozhao couldn't push Su Yuan away, and now she was really panicking.
Zhaozhao's struggle made Su Yuan at this moment feel dissatisfied. He only felt that the person in his arms had a scent that made him feel at ease and allowed him to maintain a shred of rationality amidst the siege of his sins.
He was like a ferocious beast that had lost its mind. Now he clearly regarded Zhaozhao as his own possession. His pupils, glowing red, constricted, and he hugged her even tighter.
After all, Zhaozhao was just a little demon who had transformed not long ago. At this moment, her mind was filled with the fear that she was about to fail her master's entrustment and be arrested and locked up.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and involuntarily, her voice took on a tinge of sobs.
Although she couldn't hold back her tears a bit, it didn't hinder Zhaozhao from forming a hand seal with her other hand behind Su Yuan at all.
Crying pitifully, she thought that if the Great Monster still didn't let her go, she would have to knock him out through her tears...
Fortunately, Su Yuan came to his senses because of this sob. The red in his pupils faded, and his eyes gradually regained clarity. He gasped painfully and released the hand that had been restraining Zhaozhao.
"Sorry..." The sins hadn't been completely eliminated, but fortunately this time it wasn't too serious. Su Yuan apologized to Zhaozhao with his hand on his forehead.
Seeing that he seemed to be in great pain, with a tear still hanging from the corner of her eye, Zhaozhao foolishly comforted him instead: "It's okay. Don't blame yourself too much. I forgive you."
Su Yuan: "..."
Su Yuan took a moment to recover, then looked up at Zhaozhao in front of him.
The little girl's eyes were bright, and there was still a tear on her curly eyelashes. Her skin was very fair, and her facial features were delicate and cute. She was like a forest elf, clearly showing an air of inexperience.
Even someone like Su Yuan, who had lived for tens of thousands of years and was used to everything, couldn't help but feel a sense of tenderness towards her.
"Sorry. I was a bit out of my mind just now. I didn't mean to scare you." It was really out of place for Su Yuan to say such words with his aloof and cold demeanor. Zhaozhao quickly shook her head to show that she didn't mind. All she wanted was to run away quickly.
However, Su Yuan was an extremely intelligent person. One thing was one thing. After apologizing, it was time to question Zhaozhao about why she had come here in the middle of the night.
He grabbed Zhaozhao's hand and asked calmly, with a faint look in his eyes, "What are you sneaking around here for in the middle of the night?"
Zhaozhao brought out the excuse she had thought of before: "I like that most beautiful leaf in your hand so much that I couldn't resist coming to take a look at it secretly."
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Now that you've seen it, you can return it to me."
Zhaozhao raised her face: "No, because I ate it!"
"Ate it?" Su Yuan's expression was indescribable.
Zhaozhao didn't think there was anything wrong at all. "Yes, I ate it."
After she got the leaf, it had automatically returned to its place. Even if Su Yuan wanted to look for it, he couldn't find it. This was no different from her eating it!
Great, this excuse was perfect and safe!
Su Yuan sized Zhaozhao up, remembering the test results from the Demon Management Bureau. This Zhaozhao was indeed an ordinary human.
As for the spiritual aura in her blood, the Demon Management Bureau said it might be because she had been tempered by spiritual objects since childhood.
However... they hadn't smelled any strange fragrance.
Zhaozhao felt uncomfortable under Su Yuan's gaze and waved her free hand in front of his eyes.
As a result, she lost her balance and staggered into Su Yuan.
Then, her other free hand very, very unfortunately landed on a certain indescribable part of the dragon...
"Hiss!" It really hurt. Su Yuan's expression distorted. There was a strange sense of pleasure mixed with the pain. This was truly the most embarrassing and speechless moment in Su Yuan's life since he had gained consciousness.
Zhaozhao was completely oblivious. She had no concept of the difference between men and women. Before, when she was hugged in someone's arms, she was only worried about being arrested and locked up. At this moment, she didn't feel that what she had done was "extraordinary" at all. Her hand even instinctively propped up to try to get up.
"You!" Su Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and pulled her up. Even his aloof face had nothing to do with that word at this moment.
Zhaozhao was startled by his shout. She panicked and looked up to apologize, but was immediately stunned.
"Dragon... dragon horns..."
Su Yuan was stimulated and revealed the characteristics of a dragon. A pair of dragon horns glowing with a flowing light appeared on his head, adding a bit of mystery to him at this moment.
The dragon horns were really beautiful. The little tree demon was momentarily captivated.
Su Yuan's face completely darkened. He waved his hand and sent Zhaozhao back to the tile-roofed house.
Bang!
The door slammed shut so loudly that Song Yao on the bed was startled and jumped up: "What's going on? Is the demon coming?!!!"
Zhaozhao quickly waved her hand: "No, no."
When Song Yao saw the situation clearly, she complained irritably: "What are you doing getting up in the middle of the night?" Then she lay back down.
Zhaozhao sat alone at the table, digesting the scene she had seen for a while. After a long time, she climbed onto the bed and was about to go to sleep when she was startled by Song Yao, who suddenly sat up.
"Cousin, what are you doing?" Zhaozhao tilted her head and looked at Song Yao, asking in confusion.
Song Yao's reaction seemed a bit slow. After two or three seconds, she replied, "I set up a formation near that tower. Now there's an unusual movement. I can feel it. I have to go and take a look." Then she lifted the quilt and walked outside.
Looking at Song Yao like this, Zhaozhao always felt that there was something wrong with her, but she couldn't let her go out alone. So she got up and chased after her.
"Cousin, wait!"
But by the time she chased to the door, Song Yao had already disappeared.
Was her cousin that fast? Zhaozhao's heart was pounding. She looked back at the small tile-roofed house and finally decided to follow her uneasily.
She couldn't let her cousin go out alone. She had to follow and take a look.
When Zhaozhao arrived at the tower, Song Yao was standing there, looking up at the narrow tower entrance motionlessly.
"Cousin, you—" Zhaozhao stepped forward and patted Song Yao on the shoulder. Unexpectedly, the other person turned around and stabbed something into Zhaozhao's neck.
Song Yao's eyes were numb. It was obvious that she was being controlled. After completing the last instruction, she lost consciousness and fell down.
Zhaozhao covered her neck in pain. Her eyes became more and more unfocused, and finally she completely fell into darkness.
Then, a black mist enveloped the two sisters, and Song Yao and Zhaozhao instantly disappeared from the spot.
Not far away, Su Yuan was standing on a tree branch, quietly watching all this.
Su Yuan pressed his index finger and middle finger together and made a gesture. Suddenly, a blue thread appeared in the air. This was the Ten-Thousand-Mile Lovesickness Thread he had placed on Zhaozhao.
Now, one end of the thread was in Su Yuan's hand, while the other end was connected all the way to the tower opposite Su Yuan.
