Bonds of souls

Xiao Lanhua's Curiosity

"Of course! I abhor the slavery of any being! Even more so of innocent people. You did nothing wrong and were brutally hunted just because they wanted to enslave you. They say that demons are bad and that they deserve this. But, just like there are humans good, there are bad humans and humans who are neither good nor bad being indifferent to this world. It is the same with demons. Condemning an entire race because of a few individuals is unfair as well as cruel. Furthermore, I also call it hypocrisy. After all, there are people who cannot even be called humans because of the atrocities they commit while at the same time there are countless crimes among humans. I think it's worse because humans do evil against members of their own race. You demons , are a different race and compared to the crime of a demon to a human, I think the crime between humans is much worse. I don't see these demon masters doing anything for humans in trouble when it is a human who does harm to another human They only act like they are a demon and, nevertheless, even if the demon is in your location, far away and without doing any harm, he is still hunted in the same way as you were. It's simply unfair because demons usually live far from humans and only a small part of them come closer while humans live in clusters. I also think capturing without any judgment and distinction is an attitude of hypocritical people."

He is surprised to hear it and smiles immensely, then asks, "How did you get that necklace?"

"My grandfather gave me the necklace. He said he got it from a deer demon mother and her cub after my grandfather treated them decades ago."

Chang Heng smiles even more as he was immensely happy that his guess was correct. She was as unique as her grandfather.

In fact, he was right to entrust her fate to that human because he was not mistaken when he first looked at her. The young woman's aura, if there was such a thing, demonstrated her kind and gentle heart, just as it was with her grandfather.

The human saved her life while her grandfather saved his and her mother's lives because they would not have been able to survive the ambush they suffered without his providential help, with the deer feeling that he had to pay that debt, now doubled in the name of your honor. The necklace alone was not enough payment. Protecting her could be considered a form of payment.

Furthermore, he thought she was beautiful and had fallen in love at first sight.

Therefore, staying with the young woman would not be any punishment and he hoped that over time their feelings would correspond, with both of them staying together even if it took years.

For demons, time was irrelevant due to their very long longevity, which varied from species to species as well as lineage.

"I haven't seen this necklace since it was created to repay a human's kindness to us."

She displays a pleasant surprise on her face as she asks in a confirming tone, "The cub was you, right?"

"Yes. You remind me of your grandfather in many ways. Plus, I also associated it with him because of that medallion."

The doctor instinctively takes the object in her hand and when looking at the medallion, she remembers her grandfather's words.

"What my mother and I forgot to tell you is that the medallion would accept descendants of him even if they were not related by blood. All you had to do was deeply consider that person as a member of your family. I assumed from the time I saw this human that you would be his granddaughter."

"My grandfather insisted on giving me the medallion when I left home for the journey of medicines and herbs, as well as perfection and healing practice."

"He did well to give it to you. As for this journey..."

"We belong to a long line of imperial doctors. However, if we just stay in the palace like many do or only attend the Imperial Medical Academy, our knowledge is limited. Traveling through the villages, learning about various strange diseases and seeking forms of treatment enriches our knowledge. There are many diseases out there. Any member of the royal family, from emperors, princes, princesses, wives or concubines, as well as other nobles, can contract a disease different from those usually seen at court. If you don't have extensive knowledge, you won't be able to save lives. My act of traveling will also save many lives in the future. As I have a hidden pulse, it allowed me to travel unassisted. Normally, when it involves traveling by women in my family, they never travel unaccompanied. Even with my hidden pulse, He insisted that I possess the medallion saying that it would protect me from any danger."
