Zhu Maolin later proposed to Hou Chen Yuhan to stroll outside. After all, he took leave today already.
It was just that there was no more racing heartbeat.
She seemingly did not know why her husband would appear at this place – a place he rarely visited. Hou Chen Yuhan remained silent.
No matter the topic she brought up, the vibe would eventually turn cold. It was better off not to say anything. At least, there was still some tacit understanding retained after interacting with each other for a long time.
Probably the tacit understanding was still there.
Then, he averted his gaze and continued walking as if he had no more courage to speak about the future. Zhu Maolin still felt guilty.
He looked at her back and finally decided to stop his time once and for all and let her time flow, “Let’s divorce.”
Hou Chen Yuhan trembled slightly. She did not stop nor looked back as if she didn’t hear it. She just walked forward. She had no response in the end, and she disappeared into this cemetery.
Even if he finally said this sentence, she didn’t feel any relief.
A cloudy day with no wind.
…
The cloudy and windless weather was a bit dull, especially in winter. It gave off an uncomfortable feeling.
Yin Greedy Wolf still didn’t have any response. When she woke up today, there was still no response.
Sure enough, it was because of severe injury. Of course, it was also because of the death of two Greedy Wolf Clan warriors. He could not absorb the vitality of the other two Wolf Warriors prepared beforehand for sacrifice, rendering him failed in activating the Yin Greedy Wolf’s power. In the end, he arrived at such a situation.
The demon beast, who claimed to be Windchaser, hid aside. He quietly looked at her. The moment she woke up, the first thing she saw was the little demon beast who took her here.
Such a common coyote demon beast, what gave her this weird feeling?
“Come here, don’t hide.” She shook her head and shouted toward where Windchaser was hiding.
Due to her injury, she failed to maintain her human form. She smiled in the appearance of a female beast.
“My name is Zixing.”
After all, since he was the lifesaver, there was no reason for her not to tell Windchaser her name.
“Miss Zixing! Hello! I’m Windchaser!” Windchaser straightened his chest, hands clinging to each other, like a soldier standing guard. However, his line of sight was in the distant sky. He did not dare to face Zixing in front of him.
“Didn’t you introduce yourself before?” Zixing smiled. Windchaser’s attitude reminded her of the children on the plateau who had always admired her. They were so reserved, for fear that they would misbehave and missed the sight of her.
He did get into contact with female demon beasts. Other than that, Nini, whom he often played together, was a cat demon beast. Nini loved to stick with Cheese. When Windchaser and Nini played, he wasn’t so reserved.
Windchased couldn’t help with his racing heart. He would sneak a few glances at her sakura lips and purple pupils.
“How long have you stayed in this city?” Zixing looked at Windchaser, feeling that the child was still too nervous, “What about your parents? Why do they live in such a place?”
“My parents are gone.” Windchaser’s nervous state disappeared immediately, appearing a little lonely.
“That’s nice.”
Zixing looked at Windchaser yearningly.
“What about you? Where is your family?” Windchaser sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at Zixing sitting in front of him on the simple wooden bed he had set up.
“Brother…”
Windchaser didn’t know what the feeling of having brothers and sisters was, but it should be the same as how he felt toward Cheese. He thought that it might not be much worse than a blood-related brother.
Zixing held her chest at this time and coughed a few times.
Windchaser quickly stood up, “Well, do you know Master Long? I think your injury will not heal in a while. How about I send you to Master Long? She will be able to heal you. However, Master Long doesn’t seem to be here recently. Fear not, there is Long Er now. She is Master Turtle’s disciple. She should be great at medicine too!”
“Really.” Zixing nodded.
She had never seen the Master Long of the demon beast clan. The plateau was a bitter cold place. Very few demon beasts from Divine Land were willing to visit that place.
Zi Xing might not meet Master Long, but she heard of Master Long. For Zixing, Master Long was always rich in color, but she didn’t expect to hear Windchaser’s comments. She would be an approachable adult.
“So?” Windchaser asked, “I didn’t know what happened to you before, so I didn’t dare to take you there for fear that something would happen, but there should be no problem now.”
Windchaser was startled and said thoughtfully, “I don’t know why but I can sense that you won’t hurt me and you can’t hurt me. So, there should be no problem.”
“Thank you for your kindness.” Zixing shook her head, “It’s just that I can take care of myself with only this injury, so let’s not bother that master.”
“I see…” Windchaser was slightly disappointed and then said, “Then, what can I do for you?”
Zixing thought for a while, then suddenly said, “In that case, can you help me find some medicinal materials? You should be able to find them in ordinary Chinese medicine stores, as long as they are not counterfeit products.”
“No problem!” Windchaser patted his chest and stood up, “I’m going now!”
Then, he misstepped and fell…
Zixing subconsciously got up, worried. But, she saw that Windchaser held the fence with one hand and then climbed back up with a hint of fear. He was just mumbling for his safe escape.
Zixing covered her lips and laughed softly, thinking that this little demon beast was amusing.
Cloudy with no wind, but it seemed not that bad.
