Chapter 123 – Two Cats, One Courtyard – Part 3
Both girls had a small talk after that. Hua Shi prepared a room for Dong Bai in Tong's residence and sent a messenger to Sima Manor that Dong Bai would stay in Tong's residence from now on.
Tong came back home before the sunset.
Then he met the little girl.
”Welcome home, darling.”
Dong Bai greeted Tong with a bright smile, yet her killing intent locked onto him. She looked at him while she was hesitating if she should delete his [Plot Armor] skill or not.
In the back of her mind, she planned to allow Tong to be summoned back. Once he got back, he would forget everything. Then, she could slowly feed him information. She could tell him that she was his only girlfriend so that he would be hers alone.
But her conscience was battling with her desire. She also wanted him to remember her, and she was afraid that his personality might change because of the memory wipe.
Tong tilted his head to the side in confusion and thought.
'Who is this little girl?'
He glanced at Hua Shi at the back who held her palms together in a prayer position to gesture an apology and praying for him.
Tong knelt down on one knee to talk to Dong Bai in the same eye level.
”Umm. Missy, who…”
”I'm your goddamn woman, you idiot piece of #$%%! I looked away from you for one and a half decade, you already put a baby in that girl's womb! If I wait for you for another 100 years, won't you impregnate every girl in the city?”
”Eh? You are... who?”
Veins popped up under Dong Bai's facial skins. She controlled her breathing and put her palm on Tong's forehead.
”Administrator command, target [Plot Armor], delete it!”

[Eh? What the hack?]
[Why didn't you do what I told you to!?]
[Fine, you have failed my mission. I'll erase all your demonic power in your soul!]
[Oh, I have just noticed. You don't have anything left in you, so I'll erase your [Seal] too.]
[You are free now. Have fun, ”little human”.]

Dong Bai felt her mind lightened, but she also felt that she had just lost something precious to her. The sense of her loss overwhelmed Dong Bai. She cried.
'Now I have nothing left. I'm now a powerless human.'
Meanwhile, Tong received odd notification messages.

”What in the world!?”
Tong shouted in a panic. His lifeline skill changed into a weaker skill without him knowing anything. Then he swept his glance toward the crying little girl.
”Little miss, what did you do?”
Dong Bai did not stop crying. She stepped forward and hugged Tong without saying anything, which made Tong baffled by her actions.
Hua Shi, who had been observing them from the beginning, walked toward Tong to give him an explanation.
”This is Dong Bai. She's the granddaughter of Dong Zhuo… and the reincarnation of your ex-girlfriend.”
”What!?”
”You didn't hear me wrong. She's Friday.”
The grip of Dong Bai tightened. She buried her face into Tong's chest and wailed.
She missed Tong.
She lost her status as a demoness.
She lost all her hard-earned power.
She was now a powerless little girl in the ancient world.
She hugged Tong while she was trembling in despair. She feared that if Tong was not here, she would have nothing to cling on, and her heart would have been destroyed.
Tong could sense the sadness and the desperation of Dong Bai. He hugged her and pressed her body to him. Then he whispered.
”I'm here.”
”It's ok now.”
”Everything is going to be alright.”
”We'll be together.”
Dong Bai's body shook, yet her tears did not stop. She cried even harder than before, but it was not from sadness. She was so happy to hear his voice again.
”Take her to your room. You guys probably have a lot to catch up on.”
”Huh? Sunday, what about you? The sun has set. Where are you going to sleep?”
