道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

Cozy

The next morning Yao Mu Ya wakes up on his bed.

"..."

Instead of getting out of the bed Yao Mu Ya continues to stare up at the ceiling of his room for an hour.

(If you truly love her then as a man show her that you will love her till the end and that you do not regret having met her and having confessed to her.)

"..."

Recalling the words said to him by his master Yao Mu Ya grits his teeth as he tosses his blanket off to the side and pushes himself off the bed.

Drawing in a deep breath of air Yao Mu Ya runs out of his room and heads out to find Chi Hua Yao.

At this time most of the Yao family's estate can be considered a mess due to the festive mood of last night. Cracked gourds and other pieces of junk can be seen everywhere.

On the side of the road one can also see a large number of practitioners lying there asleep. Most of them had a gourd of wine in their hand.

For the most part the entirety of the estate is completely quiet without a hint of noise other than the occasional snoring of someone who is asleep.

*Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.* within their courtyard Ye Gui Feng practices playing the zither with Xiao Ju Hong by his side.

*Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.* Ming Xiao Luo nods her head to the rhythm while swinging her legs on a chair.

*Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.* listening to the well matched pacing of the strings being plucked with just the right amount of force Bai Yuechu smiles lightly.

*Thuuuuump.* plucking the strings of the zither for the final time Ye Gui Feng opens his eyes.

"A lot better than usual."

[Well with her listening by the side I felt pressured to do better.]

Hearing this Xiao Ju Hong smiles as she rubs the head of Xiao Hong Qu who rests on her lap.

[Hm?]

Pale white light exudes from Ye Gui Feng's right hand and from the sword tattoo that represents the Sha Luo Blood Sword a tiny sphere of white light flies out.

This sphere of white light pops at the center of the room to reveal the figure of the Lady Butterfly of the Night floating an inch off the ground.

[Awake are you?]

The inhuman body appearance of the Lady Butterfly of the Night starts to dissipate in the manners of it being shed away like a bundle of silk.

Upon the completion of this shedding a young woman dressed in a black set of robes presses her bare feet onto the grounds of the living room in front of Ye Gui Feng and Xiao Ju Hong. The long dark hair of the young woman that reaches to her ankles serves to cover her bare back.

[...]

The alluring face of the young woman causes Ye Gui Feng to constrict his eyes. This isn't the face that he had seen prior to the Lady Butterfly of the Night turning into a cocoon during their first meeting. But then again...

(*Sigh* forget it. It must have been just an illusion of some kind.)

Inwardly Ye Gui Feng felt that it would be better to not talked about that first encounter as it would only serve to make things awkward.

"Yes."

Taking a look at her current appearance's hands that looks very much human now the young woman answers. This is but a minor transformation technique that can easily be seen through by anyone above the True Immortal realm of cultivation.

[Your mother had asked that I send you off into reincarnation. But with the flaws of the current reincarnation cycle you're at a risk.]

Ye Gui Feng didn't know which of the Six Paths of Reincarnation his Six Paths of the Spiritual Transmigration will take a soul towards for he has no control over it. If this was any other soul he could care less but this is the daughter of someone that he owes a debt to so he didn't dare to be careless.

"..."

Pondering for a bit the Lady Butterfly of the Night speaks.

"I do not care too much about the risks involved with Jiu Dao's incomplete reincarnation as I have my own means of overcoming the risks. But I do wish to continue existing in this world for just a bit longer."

Towards this Ye Gui Feng didn't have any objections.

[Very well. You may choose to stay here if you wish. Although... I only have less than ten years to spend in this place.]

"Then I shall trouble you all for a while. I also do not intend to stay for more than ten years."

[Do you have a name?]

"Dié Fēi. (蝶菲)"

Seeing how many people there are in this room Xiao Ju Hong can't help but feel like there is suddenly too little space. But-

"It feels really cozy having this many people here."

(...)

Within the Ancient Immortal Spear Miao Xiao Lin can't help but feel somewhat left out. But she didn't dare to reveal herself.

"Ah that's right."

Seemingly having read Miao Xiao Lin's thoughts of being left out Xiao Ju Hong slaps her storage bag and brings out the Ancient Immortal Spear.

"Uh!"

From within the Ancient Immortal Spear the figure of Miao Xiao Lin is thrown out.

"Ah!"

Leaping off her seat Ming Xiao Luo points to Miao Xiao Lin with her finger.

"The cheap knock-off!"

"You're the cheap knock-off! All of you are cheap knock-offs!"

Regaining her balance and floating a meter off the ground Miao Xiao Lin points a finger back at Ming Xiao Luo.

[This... Hmm.]

Ye Gui Feng didn't feel too surprised to see Miao Xiao Lin.

After thinking for a bit when told of the snake that had escaped Ye Gui Feng gradually drew upon a single conclusion.

Only one person could have gotten a chance to take that snake of a weapon spirit out of the Sha Luo Blood Sword and that one person could have only been Xiao Ju Hong.

However, Ye Gui Feng felt like it would only serve to make things awkward between them if he asks Xiao Ju Hong about it so he eventually just forced himself to forget it unless something bad happens that is related to the weapon spirit.

But what did catch Ye Gui Feng by surprise is the Ancient Immortal Spear that is in Xiao Ju Hong's left hand.

"Um this is better."

Giving a nod Xiao Ju Hong stores away the Ancient Immortal Spear.

[At least explain everything to me first.]

"I know."

Xiao Ju Hong didn't feel like keeping things under wraps now as it would only serve to make her feel guilty about not trusting Ye Gui Feng enough.

Thinking for a bit-

[Well I suppose now would be a good time to tell you about some things that happened during my early days as well.]

Seeing as how Xiao Ju Hong won't bother to keep things under wraps anymore Ye Gui Feng also didn't feel like keeping anymore secrets to himself so he decides to do the same as Xiao Ju Hong and tell her about the early days of his life in this world.

After having spent this much time together it just didn't feel right to keep anymore secrets from one another as it would just be disrespectful.
