As if she didn’t notice the conflicted Xu Liao by her side, Zhao Yan Qin’s mother merely murmured a few words that Xu Liao couldn’t hear clearly and raised her hands in the air. Within a few breaths, something that resembled a slip flew into her hands as she made a grabbing notion. Surprisingly, the slip actually flew out from Xu Liao’s room window!

Despite not being able to hear what she chanted, Xu Liao’s vision naturally could make out what flew out of the window clearly. The slip was slightly transparent and s.h.i.+mmering with gold as it reflected the light from the nearby street lamps. He could also spot a group of weird-looking bugs within this slip.

Zhao Yan Qin’s mother smiled as she waved her sleeve and collected the group of bugs with ease. “I’ll keep this Golden bug. It is already very late so it wouldn’t be convenient for me to visit. I shall make a move first. Qin Qin just go ahead if you want to play in Xu Liao’s house, but remember to come home soon!”

Xu Liao’s mouth gaped as he saw Zhao Yan Qin’s mother gracefully walking away as if she had complete confidence in leaving her daughter in another male’s house at this time. Xu Liao’s mind was in total disarray. Other than the fact that she removed the Golden Bug as easily as a was.h.i.+ng machine removing simple stains, she actually left her daughter behind even without waiting for a reply!

“Urg.. since it was so easy.. why was I so worried for….?” Xu Liao held his head as he spoke. “Why didn’t she mention that her mother is a demonic queen in the first place?!”

“furthermore… her mother actually left Zhao Yan Qin here! What does it mean to leave her daughter here for me to bring her home?? It is already so late… and if I bring a female cla.s.smate home…! Ahh.. my head hurts.. all the misunderstandings…” Xu Liao started to sweat profusely as he tried to think of a suitable reason on why he brought a girl home at this time.

Xu Liao was in a total dilemma. He couldn’t possibly send Zhao Yan Qin back now after what her mother did for him, yet this situation would certainly cause several troublesome events later on. However he could think of nothing so he decided to give up and sighed as he invited Zhao Yan Qin up to his house.

To his surprise, there wasn’t a single hint of hesitation from Zhao Yan Qin as she cheerfully accepted his invitation. On the contrary, it was actually Xu Liao that was hesitating as he led her through the front door. This situation was very awkward for Xu Liao because he never invited any female cla.s.smates home before. Qu Lei and him naturally weren’t close, so for her to visit his house was totally out of the question. Even just merely speaking to her is considered to be a fresh and exciting milestone in his life.

As expected, Xu Liao’s mother was at home. Her eyes went wide when she spotted her son bringing home an otherworldly beauty. She gave a few side glances towards Xu Liao indicating her suspicion before warmly greeting Zhao Yan Qin and welcoming her into the house.

Xu Liao ignored all of his mother’s frequent glances and quickly dragged Zhao Yan Qin into his room and closed the door.

All this while Xu Liao was fl.u.s.tering around, Zhao Yan Qin was totally the opposite. She spun around Xu Liao’s room and then landed on his bed before casually kicking off her shoes to the side. Not a single strand of shyness could be seen in her actions. She actually treated his room like it was her own! Then she casually grabbed a novel on the nearby shelf and started indulging in it.

Xu Liao just stood at a side watching Zhao Yan Qin casually taking over his room. His face turned even more awkward as the silence dragged on. Finally as if he couldn’t take it any longer, he tried to strike up a conversation with her.

“Uh… do you intend to continue to live in the human society in the future?”

Zhao Yan Qin put down the novel and looked towards Xu Liao and smiled. “This will have to depend on my future husband!”

Xu Liao was slightly startled by her reply. “Your husband?”

Xu Liao then thought for a while before understanding that her reply was slightly old-fas.h.i.+oned. He felt a little confused as he continued: “Don’t girls nowadays seek for independence? Since you’ll definitely have the ability to live the life you desire, why do you have to restrict yourself to your future husband?”

By this time, Zhao Yan Qin had already picked up the novel again. She was rather absorbed into the novel <zu mountain=””>>. It was one of the many online novels which Xu Liao liked.

As if she was attracted to the details within the story, she gave a few chuckles before turning the page.

“Naturally I am not a human. Only humans can have such luxury. Living alone, working hard only by myself, facing strong foes by myself.. Every single day, I think to myself that this could the last day of my life. Every second of my life is living in fear… I had enough of such a life!” Zhao Yan Qin spoke without looking up.

Even as she spoke these emotional words, her eyes didn’t even leave the pages of the novel. On the other hand, it reminded Xu Liao of his currently painful life.

When Xu Liao was about to solemnly nod in agreement he suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.
