Even hybrid monsters have their day

This was the first time she had seen him so closely. She didn't know if he had ever shown any real emotion in his eyes when he smiled before, but at this moment, she couldn't tell whether he knew what he was saying or not.

Qiu Pi reached out his other hand and ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, I've already told the doctor not to tell anyone about this. No one will know."

After he finished speaking, he stood up. His glasses reflected the light, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.

"My body is a bit unusual; it's been like this since I was little..."

Qiu Pi nodded, then quickly said he had to leave. Even after he left, Geng Miaowan couldn't figure out whether he knew she was a demon or not. Did he believe her last words, or not…?

When she told Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan about it, their reactions were quite different.

Huangfu Aohan felt that if he knew, he knew; it wasn't a big deal.

Xu Ruwen, having lived in human society, had a much better understanding of human nature and could analyze situations more comprehensively. "It's hard to say. That night, to save our lives, we unleashed almost everything we knew. So many random spells were flying around. If I had seen that, I would have thought you were a monster too."

"You mean, if he sees this, he'll definitely know I'm not human?"

Xu Ruwen nodded. "You could say that."

Another question welled up in Geng Miaowan's mind, "But if he saw it all along, why did he only show up to save us at the very end?"

Thus, Geng Miaowan's dilemma shifted from whether Qiu Pi knew she was a demon to whether Qiu Pi had seen them all along.

“Then I don’t know,” Xu Ruwen walked to a chair near the door and sat down, looking around at the surroundings. Her eyes were subtly fixed on a lamp above the ward, and she thought to herself, “If he really was there all along, then he probably didn’t want to save us at first. He only saved us after he saw something.”

Geng Miaowan's eyes widened suddenly, and she almost jumped out of bed. "Could it be... that... he decided to save us because he saw us casting a spell?"

Huangfu Aohan gave her a cold glance. "Why are you so agitated?"

How could she not be agitated? "If he really saved us because he saw all this, then what is his purpose?" If he were a normal person, he would be scared half to death by the sight of people flying around and spells flying everywhere. He would never have offered to help.

Xu Ruwen gave her a helpless look. "I really don't know. Perhaps only Qiu Pi himself knows."

Geng Miaowan stayed in the hospital for another three days.

Since her injury, she has felt that her body has become a little strange. She often feels very tired. Now her injuries have fully healed, but she can only gather a little bit of energy, which is extremely weak.

Huangfu Aohan and Xu Ruwen had no idea what was going on. They stayed at the hospital almost every night but couldn't find anything wrong.

That night, she had just finished tidying up and was about to go to sleep. Suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat pushed a worktable into the room. Geng Miaowan looked up and glanced at him. Although he was wearing a mask, she knew very well that this person was not the doctor who usually treated her.

Her figure alone didn't resemble him; such a tall and slender physique did look like... Thinking this, she looked at the exposed eyes. They were extremely beautiful. At that moment, those beautiful eyes seemed to speak, blinking as they stared at her.

Geng Miaowan was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed, and her eyes widened suddenly, "You..."

The person who came quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth. "Shh...don't shout, don't shout..."

Upon hearing the voice again, Geng Miaowan knew there was no mistake; the person was indeed Peng Yuxian. Today, she had sent Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan out to look for any trace of Yihao, but she hadn't expected him to find this opportunity to sneak in.

She gestured for him to remove his hand, indicating she wouldn't call for help, and Peng Yuxian finally let go. The next second, she was pulled into a warm embrace. "Thank goodness, you're not dead."

His face and eyes were filled with joy.

In that special room, Qiu Pi restrained his assistant, Du Jie, who was about to make a phone call. "Why don't you send someone to arrest him?"

"I want to see what he's up to here." Qiu Pi's eyes never left the two people embracing on the screen, and no one knew what his expression behind his glasses meant.

In the hospital room, Geng Miaowan didn't push Peng Yuxian away. She recalled what had happened that night and asked the question that had been on her mind.

Peng Yuxian's words only reminded Geng Miaowan of her experience that night. She didn't push him away, but instead asked the question that had been on her mind: "That night, did you know all along that there were many mutants and vampires around us?"

Without a second thought, Peng Yuxian denied it, saying, "No, I don't know."

Geng Miaowan stared into his eyes for a while before saying softly but with absolute certainty, "You're lying!"

Seeing her knowing look, Peng Yuxian's expression changed slightly. "I...I...I do know, but...I thought they were just some level-3 mutants, and you shouldn't have any problem dealing with them. I...I just wanted to teach you a lesson, you ignorant little girl. I really didn't expect so many level-3 and level-4 vampires to come."

He looked into her eyes. "You have to believe me, I never intended to kill you."

Geng Miaowan smiled silently. She pushed him away with both hands, her eyes revealing an unprecedented coldness. "Peng Yuxian, if I had someone stab you twice and then tell you I didn't really mean to kill you, would you believe me?"

The warm yellow light shone on her face, making her skin look even more translucent, but her complexion was not as rosy as before, and had an unhealthy pallor.

"I..." Peng Yuxian was pushed to the edge of the bed. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't believe it either. But seeing the look of disgust on Geng Miaowan's face made him feel terrible. "I... if you said it, I... I think I'll believe you..." (To be continued.)
