Feng Yexiao not only didn’t let his feelings for me fade away because of my departure, but instead developed a mental demon due to my absence.

The existence of a mental demon is not easily resolved, and judging from Feng Yexiao’s recent state, things weren’t looking optimistic.

I could only say, it was both fate and destiny.

I sighed and quietly returned along the same path…

24

Later on, the phrase that Feng Yexiao repeated most often was, “Master, when are you going to give me a title?”

After I helped him resolve his mental demon issue that day, I hadn’t acknowledged our relationship.

This led him to ask me every day with a tone that sounded like a resentful woman in a deep boudoir.

After hearing it so many times, I almost believed I was an unrepentant scoundrel, even though he was the one taking advantage!

Feng Yexiao stayed by my side every day, traveling with me, and sometimes we would return to the sect.

One day, I seriously contemplated the nature of our relationship and found it utterly tangled.

While continuing this way wouldn’t be impossible, I still felt indebted to Feng Yexiao.

So, I decided to date him first, to strengthen our feelings for each other.

Without hesitation, I found Feng Yexiao and said, “Feng Yexiao, I think we can try spending some time together to see if we’re compatible, and then consider other things.”

Oh no! That didn’t seem very clear. What am I even saying? He probably doesn’t understand!

Upon hearing this, Feng Yexiao was overjoyed, exclaiming, “Master! Does this mean you’re willing to accept me?”

“No, I didn’t say that! I just said we can spend some time together first.”

“Okay, okay! We’ll just spend time together for now. Master, I’ll behave well and make you fall in love with me!”

• The End –

Extra:

1. At that time, I didn’t even know why I turned back, but I knew I couldn’t let Feng Yexiao die from his mental demon on the way back. I kept reassuring myself that it was just about fulfilling his mental demon’s desires; it was just a sacrifice for someone else. I silently chanted: saving people is important, saving people is important.

Thus, I returned to where I lived! Before I could even process the shock, I heard the sound of crying coming from the room…

…

I was certain that aside from me and Feng Yexiao, there was no one else here. If nothing unexpected happened, it was Feng Yexiao who was crying. I pondered, is it really necessary? He’s a man, why is he crying like a baby?

I approached the door and pushed it open, seeing Feng Yexiao lying on the bed where I had slept before, clutching my pillow and blanket while crying!

The scene was too beautiful; it reminded me of when I caught Feng Yexiao in a compromising situation.

Upon hearing the sound, Feng Yexiao opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise!

“Master, why are you back?”

I just… suddenly wanted to come back. After saying that, I walked toward him.

Feng Yexiao looked at me pitifully and said, “Wait, Master.”

I responded and walked up to him, saying, “Um… you know that the way to resolve a mental demon is to fulfill its desires, right?”

Feng Yexiao suddenly became excited: “Master, you mean we can…”

I quickly interrupted him: “Stop! It’s just a method to save you! Don’t think too much about it!”

After hearing my words, Feng Yexiao wilted again and softly said, “Master…”

I ignored him because, in the gaps of our conversation, there was still black mist swirling around him.

Feng Yexiao’s mental demon was quite serious; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let me go.

I immediately put on a nonchalant expression and said, “There’s not much time left; let’s start now.”

After saying that, I pushed Feng Yexiao down. In fact, if you looked closely, my fingertips were trembling…

This was because those who had developed a mental demon were very dangerous; it was just that Feng Yexiao hadn’t done anything after keeping me locked up for so long.

Also, I had no confidence in what was about to happen, and I was even a bit scared.

Neither of us spoke, so to distract myself, I began to poke fun at Feng Yexiao…

At this moment, Feng Yexiao was still clinging to that pillow.

I said to Feng Yexiao with a stern tone, “Enough already; toss that old pillow aside! The main character is right in front of you; weren’t you full of tricks in your dreams? Why do you look like a little girl in reality?”

Through teasing Feng Yexiao, I gradually relieved my tension.

At last, Feng Yexiao finally reacted, giving a low, hoarse response of “Master” before getting up and pinning me down.

Feng Yexiao used one hand to pin both of my hands above my head, while his lips kissed my cheeks and neck.

Feng Yexiao’s actions made me feel a bit ticklish, causing me to shrink away.

In the end, I could only plead, “Feng Yexiao, be gentle.”

Feng Yexiao murmured, “Master…” His other hand was busy unbuttoning my clothes. “You really are something; just now you were like a wooden block, and now you’re breaking free from the seal, huh?”

However, my skin felt a little cold upon contact with the air. Feng Yexiao’s hand moved to my chest, and I panicked, saying, “Feng Yexiao!”

Feng Yexiao replied, “Master, I’m here.” After a brief pause, he added, “Master, this time you really can’t escape…”

I closed my eyes and replied, “I didn’t intend to escape.”

2. Much later (Third Person Point of View)

Sometimes, when Feng Yexiao was with Master, he would mischievously shift into a semi-beast form. (Note: Semi-beast form means having two features…)

Though Feng Yexiao was a dragon and a divine beast, at his core, he was still an animal.

Therefore, during those moments, transforming into his original form was the most comfortable.

Master, while being a cultivator and physically strong, was still human, and accepting Feng Yexiao’s large original form was still somewhat challenging.

However, when Feng Yexiao felt too comfortable, he couldn’t help but shift into semi-beast form…

Generally, the semi-beast form would appear when Master became somewhat disoriented because of him.

In reality, Master could sense the changes in Feng Yexiao, but she couldn’t stop it… because she was already being pinned down, and after a while, she had no strength left.
