Chapter 8 (1/2)

Although he'd uttered the words asking who it was, the truth was that Fu w.a.n.g clearly knew that the person is Shu Yu. Not only because other than Shu Yu, no one was so careless when tailing and peeping but also because he'd purposely made the medicine in front of her to lure her here.

She's an easy-to-read girl, compared to him who struggled in the muddy waters, she's like a clear pool of deep water that can be seen clearly with a glance. Therefore Fu w.a.n.g had already almost figured out her thoughts and could guess her behaviour correctly eight or nine times out of ten. He knew from the blinking light of curiosity in Shu Yu's eyes that she would definitely come.

But Shu Yu doesn't know that BOSS knew, so she's feeling a little embarra.s.sed now. It didn't matter who it was, to be found peeping would bound to feel awkward, though she clearly knew that she had absolutely no bad intention, just pure curiosity.

She initially wanted to run away, but thinking about it again, it is said that when BOSS is demonising he turns weak. What if she ran away and an accident happens when BOSS chased after her. BOSS is a paranoid person and if he didn't know who was spying on him, he definitely won't be rea.s.sured and will find ways to get the answer. Instead of being found out by him, it's better to surrender myself…….Shu Yu recalled the incident where she was mischievous and broke her grandfather's tea pot when she was young.

After giving it some thought, Shu Yu dragged her feet as she walked out, pulling on her clothes as she strived to put on a serious expression: ”It's me, I was a little worried about you, so I came to take a look.”

The young man's reflection in the pond tilted his head and spoke softly: ”Is that so?”

Shu Yu retreated two steps when he flashed his smile, feeling her inner Shu Yu spray blood from her nose as she faints, but she will have to make the ”That's right it is this pureness” expression. She's unsure whether BOSS would believe this reason but because he's always smiling, you can't tell what he's thinking. Moreover, that smile was too dazzling that she didn't dare to keep looking otherwise she'd be on heat, and there is no w.a.n.g Ji herbal tea to cool down.

To break this awkwardness, Shu Yu touched her nose as she looked at her own toes: ”Aren't you feeling cold while soaking in the pool?”

”This pool is a Spiritual Water, the gathering of clean air and the Spiritual Moonlight is a great antidote for the Demon Clans. While I, a half demon, turn weak whenever I demonise, I'll emit some smell that will attract some low-level beast, it can be suppressed here.” His eyes drooped with an indifferent tone, looking up it seems somewhat inexplicable and pitiful.

Shu Yu's throat tightened, she is not touched by the fragile state BOSS, no one here understood BOSS more clearly than her, nine point five out of ten times he's acting pitiful, she is just horrified that BOSS told her about this, told her that he would be weak.

Afterall, there are many mixed demons in Meng Ze but half-demons are rare and they're generally weak, with few living to adulthood. Many half-demons will hide their secrets to their grave, but Shu Yu realised that BOSS did not hide anything in front of her, although she knew a little more because of the plot. But BOSS won't believe anyone? In front of her, he did not conceal a single bit, what is he up to? She felt more afraid haha……don't tell me, right now BOSS is not as blackened as before?

Shu Yu was somewhat unsure, all she replied is: ”Yes……is that so.”

Compared to Shu Yu's uneasiness, Fu w.a.n.g was more natural, not seeming to care about his fragile state as he still had the usual smile, while chatting normally with Shu Yu.

”I still need more time here, you can go back and rest first, you're tired from today's training, aren't you?”

”I'll be waiting for you here.” Shu Yu was infected by his usual behaviour, as she finally felt better. When she finished, she sat on a stone that's not far from the pool. In fact, she's scared for the weak BOSS, what if an accident occurs, then she would lose a great partner and a teacher.

Shu Yu sat on the stone and her eyes suddenly met with his. She was unsure of the reason but she seemed to have seen something in BOSS' silver eyes, that could be called warmth. Suddenly BOSS became more gentle, but she was so scared —— BOSS' charm is so big and he's aiming it at her, was he aware?

Seeing her opened eyes, Fu w.a.n.g laughs as he looked directly at her, but it wasn't an annoyed look. Jin Yu's looks are stunning on the outside, the type of flaming beauty. If it's the original Jin Yu, even a pretty appearance will be like a glaring flame that made people not dare to look. But inside her is a different person, she sat quietly over there, with some restraint and shame, it's easy to feel calm.

She is like water, after combining with her dazzling appearance, she did not purposely imitate Jin Yu, showing off a unique blend of water and fire, it's extremely attractive. The way she looked now, as if he's the only one seeing it, it's a scenery that belongs to him only.

Holy s.h.i.+t BOSS' gaze is able to see through a person's character and there's no clothes underneath, wearing a thin layer of cloth only, with no sense of security! Shu Yu's inner self thought as she raised her head to enjoy the moon, trying hard to ignore BOSS' gaze.

Luckily he managed to quickly converge his powers and he stood up in the lake, ”It's getting late, let's go back.”

Shu Yu was somewhat surprised, ”So fast?”

Fu w.a.n.g smiled without saying a word, he walked out from the lake. Of course it can't be that fast, but he had to stay till at least dawn, Shu Yu still needed to rest, how can she rest with him? Not being here just meant getting less of the Spiritual Moonlight, it's no big deal to do it occasionally.

His clothes are wet and were completely stuck to his body, revealing an outline of the thin figure of a teenager, even though it's a teenager, it was still a beautiful body that's as smooth as a streamline. No wonder some people say that a half-revealed body is more tempting, Shu Yu is now deeply convinced. She finally took her eyes off the teenager's white skin and his beautiful face, and said: ”Won't you be cold wearing those wet clothes? Why not use your Spiritual powers to dry it off?”

”I'm can't use Spiritual powers in this state.” Fu w.a.n.g did not care about that shortcoming.

Shu Yu was dumbfounded, she can't use it too. This easy magic trick isn't hard to learn but she didn't have time to learn these simple easy spells as she was studying the hard tricks of life-saving exercises. Thinking about it, she moved closer and draped her coat over BOSS.

”Then let us go back.”

It was dark in the Silver bamboo forest. After shrinking, Fu w.a.n.g's height has shrunk too. Wrapped in Shu Yu's coat, he walked silently behind her, picking up the coat because it was too long. In addition, the forest was dark and he didn't seem to be able to see clearly, struggling slightly with every walk. Thanks to this body, Shu Yu was able to see clearly so she noticed BOSS' situation, worrying about whether to help or not. BOSS seems to have gotten weaker after demonisation but he's the kind of person who won't die easily and will not reveal his dark side.

She silently observed him as he tripped over a small pebble again. Shu Yu couldn't help but to speak up, ”It's dark in here, why don't I hold your hands while you walk?”

”Hmm, ok.” Amidst the darkness, Fu w.a.n.g quietly revealed a long-awaited smile as he reached out first and held her hand. His hands are tiny too, even smaller than hers. These hands were slender and strong a few days ago, the very hands that taught her many things, but now it's tiny, only three fingers were holding her hand. I don't know why, Shu Yu felt the cool touch and felt like her own body had gone stiff and she didn't know why.

Shu Yu's hands were warm, walking hand in hand for a while, Fu w.a.n.g's icy cold hands turned warm but back at the Palace, when Shu Yu let go of him, you can see him pulling off the big coat and s.h.i.+vering. His current appearance was too deceptive, even Shu Yu who knew him inside out could only think of ”Ah this little pitiful guy come into big sister's warm embrace.”

”Ok, let me clean up. Quickly get some rest, Shu Yu.” When Fu w.a.n.g said these with the look of an adult, the cute ears on his head moved and the big tail that looked soft dangled as he entered the bath.

Shu Yu silently climbed onto the bed and lay in a position, feeling that it was a little hard to sleep. After a while, Fu w.a.n.g walked in with light steps and puts out the bright pearl, leaving only a dim candlelight. Shu Yu heard a rustling sound and tilted her head to look, seeing that he had slept in his position too, sleeping there looking like a small group.

He held the blanket tightly, as if he felt cold, perhaps because the temperature in the empty hall was a bit low for the fragile Fu w.a.n.g. Shu Yu tidied the blanket and spoke in the dark, ”Fu w.a.n.g, are you cold?”

”Slightly, just a little, but it's ok, it's not unbearable.” Unsure of whether it's her wrong impression, she felt that Fu w.a.n.g's voice had a hint of a smile.

Shu Yu stayed silent for a while, climbing up while holding her blanket, covering the small child with the blanket. She then turned to go back, but as she did so, she was stopped by a small cold hand grabbing her wrist.

”Let's sleep together tonight, but if you don't like being so close to me, I won't force you, but you will have to take the blanket back and put it on.” Even though he said that, his hand showed no sign of letting go.

Shu Yu reluctantly thought, that they'd be sleeping together the next morning anyway. She'll just follow what he says, then again, he's in this state right now, he can't really do anything. Hmm, he's just a small fish in a big pond now. As she thought about it, Shu Yu lay beside Fu w.a.n.g, covered in a blanket with him.

The two of them did not utter a single word but they did not sleep, one staring at the beam, one staring at the other.

”Shu Yu.” Fu w.a.n.g suddenly said.

”Yes?”

”You don't like me, do you? I sense that you're afraid of me, but I don't think I've done anything bad to you.”
