Shu Yu held onto Fu Wang as they fell into the water. After struggling to stay afloat, she quickly fished for Fu Wang who she had accidentally let go of. It took her a couple tries before she finally felt an arm and pulled him up, only to find that something was wrong once she turned around.

Oh no, where did the little boy go? Where's his ears and tail? Why did he suddenly revert back? Shu Yu wasn't sure if she should be happy or sad right now. Oh, seeing that Fu Wang was soaked from head to toe, Shu Yu decided that she should be worrying about him first.

Fu Wang who had been dropped into the water before being pulled out had a rare dazed expression, but he quickly recovered his composure, at least quicker than Shu Yu. Looking at himself and realising that he had changed back to his human form, the corner of his lips went up. It was great that he had recovered faster than expected because it was very unfavourable for him to be in his half demon form in a place like this. At least he would be able to use his magic now.

And Shu Yu wouldn't treat him like her little nephew.

With the return of his human form, it seemed like all the unrest he previously felt had also returned. Fu Wang stood calmly in the water with his bare chest half covered. He let Shu Yu lead him by the arm as he shifted the damp black hair that was stuck on his face before pulling up the white garment to cover the wound on his chest that had been accidentally revealed.

Wordlessly, he held onto Shu Yu's hand and led her ashore before pulling her out and covering the completely drenched Shu Yu with a cloak. He then said: "Go and change your clothes first, I'll clean up my wound." He gave her a soothing smile after he said this.

When Fu Wang returned from cleaning his wounds and changing his clothes, he saw Shu Yu standing with her hands on her bowed head, looking at him anxiously as she said awkwardly: "How is your wound? Are you alright? I didn't mean it, I saw that you had fallen asleep and wanted to bring you somewhere to rest but when I was trying to stand I accidentally......"

Fu Wang wanted to explain to this worried girl that demons were pretty tenacious and wouldn't die that easily. But for some reason, to her, he was a fragile fellow, what was he to do? He straightened his sleeves and stepped forward to hug Shu Yu, cutting off her words.

Stroking her hair, Fu Wang comforted: "I know, I'm not mad at you."

Shu Yu's shoulders relaxed. She felt a little embarrassed to be in his arms but couldn't struggle or push him away because she was worried about pressing against his wound that seemed to be very serious. How can this be put into words? She had a weird feeling that Fu Wang was different from how he used to be?

The old Fu Wang liked to do some intimate yet ambiguous actions towards her occasionally, but he had always given off a reserved and polite feeling. However, something felt different now. He was more affectionate towards her. Could it be due to the fact that they had left that anxiety-inducing environment and were now in a safe place with just the two of them, so he was more relaxed?

Shu Yu thought that this was possible, but this put her in a bad situation. If he was still in his child form, she could still steer herself away from having any weird thoughts about him but with this man that was overflowing with max charms, her girly heart was faltering. And look at this unusual situation, it was just the two of them, living together for a year! Under these circumstances, it would be difficult to control herself.

Of course, she doesn't fear this challenge and is determined to stick to her morals.

One of Shu Yu's merits was that she wouldn't back down once she had decided on something and she also had perseverance. She might look weak and easy to convince but she was actually very stubborn and tough.
