Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Li Lun, who was carrying Nanzhi on his back as he walked towards the Demon Hunting Division, quickly regained consciousness. Under control again, he said, "You'll know when the time comes."

"When?" Nanzhi asked.

Li Lun did not answer, and the atmosphere between the two fell silent.

If possible, Li Lun wanted the current time to be extended indefinitely, but the Demon Hunting Bureau would always arrive. Even if he didn't want to see the Demon Hunting Bureau anymore and slowed down his pace, the time he could delay was only very short.

Putting Nanzhi down, Li Lun said, "We're here."

Knowing that Nanzhi had escaped secretly, Li Lun picked her up and carried her sideways. He was so light and skillful that he did not attract the attention of the patrolling guards at all. He sneaked into the Monster Hunting Bureau and sent Nanzhi to the door of her room.

Seeing Nanzhi standing still at the door, Li Lun raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to go back to your room to sleep?"

Looking at the tall figure Li Lun standing beside him, Nanzhi asked, "How do you know so much about the layout of the Monster Hunting Division?"

Li Lun curled his lips and smiled gently, "I have possessed people from the Demon Hunting Bureau more than once, so I naturally know."

After saying this, Li Lun sensed the evil spirit in the house, lowered his eyes slightly, and disappeared in front of Nanzhi.

Nanzhi: "..."

Nanzhi returned to the room and closed the door.

As she turned around, she saw Zhu Yan sitting beside her bed, sleeping with his head propped up.

She suddenly felt guilty and walked up to Zhu Yan.

In the past, she was the one who gave Zhu Yan orders, but now, she felt like a child who had made a mistake and was feeling very guilty.

"I'm back," she said.

"You're back?" Zhu Yan slowly opened his eyes. A pair of eyes that had seen through the vicissitudes of life were filled with a unique warmth towards Nanzhi: "You ran away secretly. Did you do something good?"

It was not a sarcastic tone, but a gentle voice that was the most normal. Zhu Yan believed that Nanzhi had indeed gone out to do charity work, but she did not want him to know and chose to hide it from him.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Nanzhi told Zhu Yan everything that happened tonight.

She sat on the bed and drank the hot water that Zhu Yan poured for her.

After hearing what she had done tonight, Zhu Yan was silent for a long time.

He said, "I noticed you weren't in the room, and I wanted to go look for you, but Cheng Huang covered up your tracks and scent, and created a fake scent direction, so I chased you in vain."

"I know you care about me." Without Li Lun's demonic power to keep her warm, Nanzhi felt her body getting cold again, but she still forced herself to be more alert and concerned about Zhu Yan's health: "Li Lun said that fusing a dead person's soul with a doll will consume a lot of demonic power. How are you feeling now?"

"I feel good." Zhu Yan noticed that something was wrong with Nanzhi, and the gentleness in his eyes turned into tension: "What's wrong with you?"

"Cold." Nanzhi felt cold all over and wrapped the quilt around herself tremblingly.

But her body was cold, and covering herself with a blanket didn't help much. She was shivering and looked at Zhu Yan, her face pale, even the blood color on her lips had faded.

Zhu Yan's face changed, and he grabbed Nanzhi's hand inside the quilt, using his magic power to warm her body.

Feeling Nanzhi's weak pulse, Zhu Yan immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find Xiaojiu!"

……

"What are you doing?! Are you going to let me sleep?"

"Zhao Yuanzhou! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a demon. You broke into my room late at night and tied me up... Sister Shen?"

Bai Jiu, who was carried over by Zhu Yan along with the quilt and wrapped in the quilt like a spring roll, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He had just been put on the ground by Zhao Yuanzhou when the little boy, still in his pajamas and only wearing an outer robe, quickly ran to Nanzhi, who had wrapped herself up like a dumpling.

Anxiously, he asked, "Sister Shen, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

"Take the pulse." Zhu Yan, who was sitting beside the bed and using his magic power to keep Nanzhi warm again, reminded.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes..." Bai Jiu was so nervous that he forgot that he knew medicine and hurriedly took Nanzhi's pulse.

Feeling Nanzhi's pulse, Bai Jiu's expression became more and more solemn.

He said to Zhu Yan, "Great demon, go find little Zhuo Ge."

Zhu Yan did not move, pretending not to understand: "Why are you looking for him? He can't cure diseases."

"Sister Shen is sick, so of course Brother Zhuo has to be by her side." Bai Jiu was extremely persistent about this.

Before Zhu Yan could go find Zhuo Yichen, because Zhu Yan's movement to fight Bai Jiu late at night was too loud, the entire demon-hunting team was attracted to Nanzhi's room by the noise.

Bai Jiu, who was surrounded by Zhuo Yichen, Wen Xiao, Pei Sijing and Ying Lei, had a drop of sweat on his forehead.

He swallowed and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, why are you all here?"

I originally wanted Brother Zhuo and Sister Shen to develop a relationship, but now it’s definitely ruined!

"I rushed over when I heard the noise." Wen Xiao replied, looking at Nanzhi: "What happened? What happened to Nanzhi?"

Being stared at by several pairs of questioning eyes, Nanzhi had no choice but to repeat what he had told Zhu Yan.

After saying that, before anyone else could get angry, she lowered her head and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I know it's wrong to do this."

Bai Jiu was shocked to hear that Nanzhi's blood could save people.

Ying Lei was also surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. He blinked and looked at Zhuo Yichen's solemn expression and the worried expressions of Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing.

Seeing Nanzhi's uneasiness again, he stood beside her and tried to smooth things over: "Nanzhi is also soft-hearted. Although I am also angry that she acted alone and disregarded her own safety, she has apologized. Now that she has apologized, the matter is over."

"Master Xiao Zhuo, what do you think?" Ying Lei asked the person who was easiest to talk to.

Zhuo Yichen looked at Nanzhi, pursed his thin lips, and finally softened his attitude: "Next time, call me."

"Yes, of course." Nanzhi nodded very seriously and sincerely.

"Call me too." Wen Xiao walked towards Nanzhi, sat beside her bed, and successfully pushed Yinglei away.

She held Nanzhi's hand, which had been warmed by Zhu Yan's demonic power and was now warm, and said gently, "I know what you are worried about. Since Cheng Huang has a chance to atone for his sins, we don't have to seal him in the place of his birth. Nanzhi, we are just worried about you."

"I know, Sister Wen Xiao." Nanzhi felt her eyes sore.

Pei Sijing's frosty face also showed some emotion: "I want to thank you, Nanzhi, you saved Ah Heng and gave him another chance. From now on, I will protect you well."

"Me too, Sister Shen." Bai Jiu raised her hand: "Although I don't know martial arts, I will heal the damage done to you."

Upon hearing that Nanzhi had suffered a loss, Zhuo Yichen immediately asked Bai Jiu worriedly, "Xiaojiu, what happened to Nanzhi?"

Bai Jiu said: "Qi and blood deficiency, in simple terms, is anemia, which causes physical weakness and cold hands and feet."

"Sister Shen's anemia is quite serious. She needs to be nourished. Besides..."

Having said that, Bai Jiu hesitated, and his expression looked quite embarrassed.

"What else?" Ying Lei was almost dying of anxiety. "Xiao Jiu, if you have something to say, just say it quickly!"

Pei Sijing looked at Bai Jiu: "Is there anything difficult?"

Bai Jiu hesitated, opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

Nanzhi thought of something and was about to stop Bai Jiu when she heard Zhuo Yichen say, "Xiao Jiu, what's the matter? Tell us what's going on and we can work together to find a solution."

"I……"

Nanzhi had just said a word when she heard Bai Jiu say with her eyes closed: "It's Sister Shen... She has never been here..."

Zhuo Yichen didn't understand: "What?"

Yinglei also looked puzzled.

Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing understood and looked at Nanzhi. Then they looked at Bai Jiu with serious faces and said in unison: "Is there a cure?"

Bai Jiu promised in a low voice: "I'll try my best."

Zhu Yan said, "It is okay not to treat it."

"How can that be?!" Bai Jiu raised his head and looked at Zhu Yan with disapproval: "Alas, you great demon, you don't understand our affairs. If we don't do this...it will be very difficult to have children!"

Nanzhi: "..."

Nanzhi no longer wanted to talk.

Zhuo Yichen suddenly understood, his fair and handsome face turned red instantly, and his brain seemed to be burned dry.

Yinglei also understood. He scratched his head and felt very uncomfortable.

Then he thought, "If I have to endure this kind of suffering every month, it doesn't matter if I have to have children."

"Don't you agree, Nanzhi?" He asked Nanzhi embarrassedly: "Look at my brain, I didn't consider your feelings just now. Do you like children?"

Nanzhi: "..."

Nanzhi: “Shut up.”
