Chapter 7: Meeting

Su Heng sat on the roof beam, watching Tan Ye sit up.

“It’s me,” Su Heng responded casually from the roof beam.

She still hid her figure, and the person below, having just recovered from a serious illness, still couldn’t sense her. Naturally, he couldn’t hear her words either.

“Miss?” Tan Ye called out again tentatively.

Su Heng placed her hand on the roof beam beneath her, “You don’t seem stupid, knowing it’s me.” Tan Ye’s clothes were still tightly wrapped, only his collar was loosened, revealing his slender neck and collarbones.

He was still a little weak, coughing lightly a few times with his fist pressed against his lips.

Compared to ordinary men’s roughness, his entire being was much more delicate. Su Heng stretched her head out from the roof beam to look. She didn’t know if it was because he had an extraordinary background, but even after being born into a human body, from head to toe, even his neck was completely different from other men’s. Other men had a large, protruding Adam’s apple on their necks, looking abrupt and rough, but his was not visible. His whole body was like an exquisitely carved jade.

Were all the people of the divine race like him?

Even after being reborn as a human, he was still so different from others, so good-looking?

Su Heng lay there, twirling a strand of black hair with her fingers.

“It’s me, don’t call out.” Su Heng heard him call out “Miss” again, “Anyway, you’ll suffer later, so sleep more.” However, in the next moment, she saw Tan Ye turn over the thin quilt on his body and get up.

She had failed to be a good person twice in a row, last night she only pulled the person back to prevent him from really burning himself silly or even burning to death.

“Hey!” Seeing this, Su Heng leaped down from the roof beam and went straight to him, “Why are you getting up so quickly, go lie down.” Tan Ye seemed to sense something and raised his head, his eyes meeting Su Heng’s.

Su Heng saw him frown slightly, as if he had seen her.

“Miss?”

Su Heng watched him with interest. Tan Ye saw an empty space in front of him, with no sound around him responding to him, only a faint scent of tea flowers lingering in the air.

Su Heng saw Tan Ye stand up and look around, no one responding to him. Everything he had just thought was his own imagination.

He wiped his face with all his strength and opened the window.

The cool wind blew in through the window, and he saw a few tea flower plants outside the window. He put the back of his hand on his forehead, thinking he might really be confused by the illness, even feeling that the demon was all around.

Tan Ye’s illness had not fully recovered, he simply tidied himself up and set off immediately.

Su Heng didn’t expect Tan Ye to actually leave.

She followed behind Tan Ye. That thing didn’t say he would die young, even if he finished his tribulation early. From what he said, it seemed that he had reached the tenth life of his tribulation and still hadn’t completed his merit, so he might fail.

If he died and failed, wouldn’t that mean there would be no more fun?

This couldn’t happen.

She followed him.

The weather in early spring was the most unreasonable, changing all the time without any certainty. It rained yesterday, and today, not only was there no sun, but a strong wind also rose.

The wind blew Tan Ye’s clothes, making his figure appear even more slender and thin.

Su Heng looked at his small frame from behind. Young people were more slender and delicate than grown men. He looked even more refined, and when the wind was strong, his clothes fluttered. Su Heng was worried that he might be blown away by the wind in the next moment.

Tan Ye coughed a couple of times in the wind.

The coughing sound made Su Heng a little irritated. Mortals were really too easy to die. A random cold could take away half their life.

She thought that since he was a reincarnation of a divine race, he should be stronger, but now it seemed that there wasn’t much difference.

Su Heng heard him cough a few more times, and that bit of irritation intensified.

She simply threw a spiritual power over, forming a thin barrier around him to prevent him from being blown into trouble.

Tan Ye keenly sensed the change around him. He frowned slightly, then his brows relaxed, “Miss?” This time, compared to the morning’s tentative call, he was much more certain.

“Is Miss still here?”

“Was it also Miss last night?”

He stood still and looked around.

“How do you know?”

The soft, sweet voice of a young girl lightly brushed past his ear, just like when she deliberately teased him by brushing his nose with her hair.

“I just said it casually.”

After a while, a softly sulky hum came from beside his ear.

“You tricked me!”

The demon’s voice was soft and sweet, but now it sounded angry, making him smile.

“Thank you, Miss, for last night.”

“It’s good that you know,” the demon snorted, her voice sounding very unhappy, “I just wanted to come out for a walk. After all, it’s not fun to stay in the forest for a long time. Who knew I would happen to meet you and happen to see you. I didn’t save you on purpose. Don’t think too highly of yourself.” Tan Ye laughed, “Thank you, Miss, for your help yesterday. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get up today.” As soon as he said this, the demon became unhappy.

“If you had stayed longer, I wouldn’t have been afraid that you would be robbed halfway or something like that and die easily, so I followed.” Tan Ye laughed softly.

The voice beside his ear made an “oh” sound, as if she finally realized that she had let it slip, and immediately fell silent.

After a while, she said, “You owe me two times, no, three times!” She counted what had just happened as well.

Tan Ye nodded and readily agreed. He was about to speak when he heard the demon say, “Someone is coming.” He looked over and saw a few fellow disciples coming this way to look for him. The one leading them was his junior brother Ling Yang. Ling Yang led a few disciples all the way, his face tense and his eyes full of anxiety.

“Wearing the same clothes as you,” the demon’s voice sounded in his ear, “Are they here to look for you?” As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yang had already seen Tan Ye standing there and walked over quickly, “Senior Brother.” “Senior Brother, you’ve been hard to find.”

Ling Yang was also a disciple of Chaoyun Sect, but he was not under the same master as Tan Ye. Their relationship could only be described as so-so. Seeing Ling Yang personally bring people over, Tan Ye was a little surprised.

“The sect knows that Senior Brother has lost his whereabouts and sent people to find Senior Brother and bring him back.” As Ling Yang spoke, he quickly walked closer to Tan Ye. The barrier that had originally been placed around Tan Ye suddenly disappeared, and the wind instantly blew onto his body.

“Since your fellow disciple has come, it shouldn’t matter if you’re blown by some wind, right?” Su Heng asked innocently.

Tan Ye’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, “Thank you for your trouble.”

“Let’s go back quickly. Elder Dao Zhen is already waiting anxiously.”

Tan Ye just nodded, his expression calm, without much urgency or pleasant surprise.

Since Ling Yang had found Tan Ye, he naturally took him along on the way, “Senior Brother, what exactly happened?” He also saw his pale face, “Senior Brother, your face doesn’t look good. Are you injured?” Actually, before they came, Su Heng had used a barrier to block some wind for him, but the moment Ling Yang rushed over, she removed the barrier.

Tan Ye had just recovered from an illness, and being blown by the wind, his face turned a few shades paler.

“It’s nothing serious.” Tan Ye brushed off the topic lightly, “How are Big Senior Brother and Master?” “Senior Brother Ling Yue has already gone down the mountain to look for people. As for Elder Dao Zhen, I haven’t seen him yet.” Su Heng watched him, his expression calm, without any emotional fluctuations from beginning to end, “How interesting.” When they reached the foot of the mountain gate, Tan Ye excused himself temporarily and went to a place where there was no one, “Miss, are you still here?” After a while, a lazy sound came.

“You’ve returned to your sect now?”

Along the way, none of the disciples had discovered the existence of this demon, which surprised him quite a bit and put him at ease.

Ling Yang’s cultivation was not particularly outstanding among the disciples, but he was also considered to be doing well. But even he had no awareness of it, which showed that this demon’s skills were far beyond what he had anticipated.

But he also breathed a sigh of relief. It was better not to be discovered. If it were discovered, it would probably be difficult to end well.

“Yes,” Tan Ye nodded, “Thank you, Miss.”

“You’ve said this several times already. Besides this, what else can you say?” This question made Tan Ye slightly stunned, but soon a smile appeared on the young man’s face, “Miss has helped me several times. If I say some polite words, it would instead not match this kindness.” “I owe Miss two more times, plus the time Miss helped me, it’s three times.” Su Heng was a little puzzled. Wasn’t it two times in total?

She had a question in her mind and asked directly.

“The first time, Miss suppressed the demonic poison for me, and then last night, plus escorting me back to the sect.” “This doesn’t need to be counted on me.” Su Heng directly interrupted his words, “Two times, you owe me two times, two times!”

“I remember.” The young man nodded. When he smiled, his face was gentle and polite, like the winter sun shining on snow. Transparent and beautiful.

It was she who said three times, and it was also she who said two times.

His smile was somewhat real.

“I have already returned to the sect, Miss can rest assured,” he said, pausing for a moment, “Thank you, Miss, for your care along the way.” The demon was immediately displeased. In front of him, light and shadow flickered, revealing the graceful silhouette of a young girl.

The transparent outline quickly revealed its original appearance. The demon looked up at him, her face clear and charming, her eyes full of irresistible beauty.

She was different from the female cultivators. The corners of her eyebrows and eyes were all fiery beauty, yet she was like an innocent young girl. The two things that were as incompatible as water and fire, beauty and purity, somehow harmoniously blended in her, making her even more eye-catching.

“Oh, now that you don’t need me anymore, you want me to leave?”

The demon spoke straightforwardly, not even bothering to be tactful.

“Of course not.”

“It’s just that now we are near the sect. If Miss is discovered, I’m afraid there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble.” Tan Ye was right. Demons transformed from the spirits of plants and trees like her were regarded as evil spirits by the righteous people in the Taoist sect, who would like nothing more than to kill them. If they had their own thoughts, they were either lecherous or wanted to form a contract with the demon. After being contracted, the demon would have to obey the master’s every command unconditionally. For demons, it was a fate worse than death.

“Miss understands what I mean.”

His words were so calm that they showed no fluctuations, making her seem even more unreasonable.

However, this calmness was completely shattered when the young girl in front of him reached out to her feet.

The demon pulled off the embroidered shoes on her feet, and a pair of white, delicate feet appeared in front of him without any cover.

The small, delicate toes and the slender, graceful ankles were directly in front of him. The white and fiery red contrasted starkly, like a hook, heavily hooking into one’s eyes and heart.

She neatly threw the two shoes in her hand into his arms and disappeared in an instant.

Tan Ye subconsciously caught the embroidered shoes she threw at him.

Her temper was strange and inscrutable, like a child’s, coming as she pleased.

He looked at the pair of shoes in his arms and frowned slightly.

“Senior Brother?” Ling Yang’s figure appeared vaguely not far away.

Ling Yang saw a strange red color at the cuff of Tan Ye’s sleeve, “Senior Brother?” “Let’s go.” Tan Ye tucked the exposed red back in and said to Ling Yang.

Su Heng watched Tan Ye leave from the dark. She felt him enter the sect.

She watched Tan Ye leave, gently pressing her palm to her lips and blowing a kiss.

Tan Ye seemed to sense something and paused for a moment. Ling Yang, who was behind him, noticed his pause, “Senior Brother, is there anything else?” Tan Ye shook his head.

“Let’s go.”
