The yellow-haired man opened his mouth for a long time, and after a long while he stammered, "You, you said you are not a human, so are you... a god?"

Jin Mu shook his head, "I am a demon."

"Demon..." Huangmao's mind was buzzing with confusion. He rubbed his cheeks repeatedly, trying to ease the shock in his heart. "Impossible! How is this possible? You are so gentle and kind, even if you are not a human, you must be a god from heaven!

Aren’t demons very powerful? Then why were you lying unconscious on the ground the day I met you in the mountains? "

Jin Mu sighed, "It's my fault for being careless. I fell into the trap of two monsters in the mountains. That day when I first arrived in the human world, I was on my way when a little monster suddenly jumped out and cried for me to save its injured father. I couldn't bear it, so I followed it. After walking for a while, I saw another monster lying on the ground, breathing weakly.

But as soon as I approached to check, the monster suddenly attacked, and I hurriedly fought back. At this time, the little monster leading the way suddenly grew in size, and I realized it was a trap. It pretended to be weak to lure me into the trap, just to snatch the treasure from me. In the end, I was ambushed, not only the magic weapon and treasure were taken away, but I was also seriously injured and unconscious. Thanks to your help, I was able to save my life. "

Huang Mao gnashed his teeth after hearing this: "These two beasts! How dare they plot against you! Wait, I will go and seek justice for you!" He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Jin Mu:

"No! You are no match for them. If you go there rashly, you will only die in vain. Weren't you curious why I went out so late at night? I went to the mountains to look for those two monsters. I was delayed a few days ago to recuperate. Now that I have recovered from my injuries, I want to take my things back, but I can't find them after searching for a long time."

"So they are hiding!" Huangmao suddenly realized.

Jin Mu nodded: "You and I come from different worlds, it's not easy for us to meet. Don't be impulsive, leave this matter to me." Then he pushed him back to his seat.

Huang Mao asked doubtfully, "Even if it's for this matter, you don't have to go back to the Sky Eye Society, right? You can still find those two monsters if you stay with me."

"I insisted on going back, not just for the spirits. I came to the human world this time to give a treasure to someone, but unfortunately, when the spirits robbed me, I also lost the map, and I couldn't find his residence at all.

I have to thank you, brother. If you hadn't brought me into the Tianyan Club as a teacher, I wouldn't have found him by chance. He lives in the Sea Moon Club. I came at an unlucky time, but according to the time calculation, he should be back in the next few days."

Huangmao sat down on the sofa, his fingers nervously picking at the torn leather, "If he comes back and finds out that the treasure has been stolen, won't he hang you up and beat you?"

He stood up suddenly and walked around the room, "No! We can't just sit there and wait for death! Tomorrow I will take my brothers to search the mountains, and we will dig three feet deep to find those two beasts!"

Jin Mu stood up and straightened the beer can that had fallen on the table. "Brother, don't be so anxious. The treasure was lost in my hands, so it's reasonable for me to be punished. And his personality is not necessarily so hot-tempered. We should just let things take their course."

Huang Mao retorted in a hoarse voice, "How can you be so careless! Even a person with a good character would get angry if he encountered such a thing. Think about it, if someone took your most precious thing and lost it, would you not be anxious?"

He grabbed the half-full bottle of mineral water on the table and took two sips. "I don't care who he is, I can't let you take it alone! At worst, I'll go with you to Haishang Mingyue to admit my mistake, even if my legs are broken..."

"You are talking nonsense again." Jin Mu interrupted him, "This matter has nothing to do with me, how can I let you take risks? I have thought of a plan. During the day, I will stay at the sea under the bright moon, so that I can teach Ming Xi to paint and also keep an eye on the man's return date. After nightfall, I will go to the mountains to search for traces of the monster. If I can find the treasure before he comes back, it will be considered as making up for my mistake."

"But the mountain is so big, where can we find it?" Huangmao sat back on the sofa, scratching his hair in frustration, "Besides, you've been looking for a whole night and haven't found even a single hair..."

"Everything requires patience." Jin Mu sat down beside him, looked up at the wall clock, and saw that the hour hand had quietly slid towards five in the morning. He said softly:

"It's getting late. I should go back to Haishang Mingyue. Mingxi is a sensitive child. If she doesn't see me in the morning, she will probably be so anxious that she will cry again."

The yellow-haired man grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "He relies on you, so why shouldn't I rely on you? I've been living alone these days, in a daze, and I can't even have a hot meal..."

Jin Mu smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand to rub his messy hair: "Don't be childish. During the day, I will teach Ming Xi to paint. If you insist on going at night, you can go with me to find the traces of monsters. But the mountains are dangerous, you must listen to my arrangements and don't act rashly."

Huang Mao raised his head suddenly, surprise in his eyes: "Really? You mean what you said? I promise to be obedient and never drag you down!" He held Jin Mu's hand, fearing that the other party would go back on his word, "Come on, pinky promise! Whoever goes back on his word is a puppy!"

"Okay, pinky promise."

Jin Mu hooked his little finger and shook it. The night gradually faded, and the sky was turning pale. When the two of them parted at the intersection, Huang Mao stood on tiptoe and shouted to the receding figure: "See you at the old place at 8 o'clock in the evening! I'll bring you some beef jerky as a snack!"

He returned to Haishang Mingyue, pushed open the door, and found that Mingxi had come to his room at some point and was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down, his shoulders shaking.

Hearing the door open, the young man turned his back abruptly, wiped his face sloppily, and said in a muffled voice: "Just leave! Why are you coming back?"

Jin Mu was stunned, then he squatted down and said gently, "Why are you crying like this? I just went out to do some chores, how could I bear to leave you behind?"

"You're lying!" Ming Xi turned around and glared at him with red eyes, "It's already daybreak... You just think I'm clumsy and I can't even learn the most basic brush strokes after teaching me for so long, so you want to sneak away while I'm asleep!"

"Haha, when did I become such a villain?" Jin Mu was both amused and helpless.

Ming Xi turned his face away, his cheeks puffed up like a cat with its fur standing on end: "Humph, I knew it! Everyone thinks I'm stupid, and you are no exception. Just go, I don't care..."

Jin Mu reached out and gently pulled his shoulders, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the tears from his face: "I was negligent, if I had known that you woke up so early, I would have rushed back day and night.

You always say that you learn slowly, but I think that this is precisely your talent. You will stop and carefully observe the scenery that others hurriedly pass by. You can capture the most unique angles of those changes in light and shadow that are easily overlooked. How many people can't get this kind of delicate perception? "

He suddenly stood up and walked to the window, pulling open the curtains a crack, and the morning light poured in, weaving a golden band of light between the two of them: "You see, the sun rises differently every day, sometimes gentle and sometimes hot, but no matter what, it will always be on time.

Just like I promised to teach you to draw, this is the agreement between us. No matter what happens, I will always keep my promise like the sun keeps its promise with the sky. "

At the same time, at the gate of Haishang Mingyue.

Ji Wushan, the second demon king of the demon world, was wearing a neat black suit. She looked up at the towering buildings with flying eaves, and suddenly tilted her head to the person next to her and smiled softly: "Brother Hua is worthy of being the most outstanding man in the Three Realms. He can achieve his own career wherever he goes."

Su Xiang was a little flattered by her praise and raised his chin slightly: "Of course! You are in a hurry to find someone, let's not delay and go in quickly. But are you really sure that he can find him along the way?"

Ji Wushan took his arm affectionately and walked inside: "It can't be wrong! When I asked him to bring something to you that day, I was afraid that he would have trouble finding his way, so I asked Luo Jingyu to draw a detailed map for him.

Who would have thought that just as he left the demon world, you returned from the human world. After so many days, he should have returned long ago when he found out you were gone, but you are still nowhere to be seen. That’s why I followed you here to find out what happened.”
