Even hybrid monsters have their day

"Haotian, he..."

"The leader just went down the mountain. He left in a hurry. I heard something happened on the demon side. He probably won't be back for a while. Sister Geng, you can rest here for now and get better first." Zheng Xiuxiu thought she was worried that the leader would come back to find her the day after tomorrow, so she quickly explained.

Geng Miaowan looked at her, "Xiuxiu, can you do me a favor?"

Thanks to Zheng Xiuxiu's care, Geng Miaowan's recovery went quite smoothly. Zheng Xiuxiu also kept an eye on Haotian's movements, so she didn't have to worry about him coming back at any time. Su Yun'er didn't come looking for her again after that, so she was doing alright here. Two days later, she was able to get out of bed and walk again.

She also learned some things from Zheng Xiuxiu.

Ever since Haotian awoke from Buzhou Mountain, he discovered Su Yun'er's existence, but for over a thousand years, he never considered reviving her.

Over three hundred years ago, after returning from Buzhou Mountain, he couldn't forget a woman. He would often go to that cave and sit there for days on end. It was from that time that he began his frantic search for a way to resurrect Su Yun'er. Over a hundred years ago, he finally found it and successfully resurrected Su Yun'er.

She was assigned to serve Su Yun'er around that time. When she first saw Su Yun'er, she mistook her for Geng Miaowan and ran up to grab her hand, almost being thrown to the ground. It was from that moment that she realized the woman who looked exactly like Geng Miaowan was not Geng Miaowan.

When Su Yun'er was first resurrected, Haotian was very infatuated with her, but this state only lasted for a short time. Then he returned to normal and began searching for someone again.

Hearing this, and recalling what Haotian had said to her earlier, Geng Miaowan vaguely felt that the person Haotian was looking for was her. But what puzzled her was why he was looking for her and why he seemed so attached to her.

She didn't believe it was love at first sight. There was definitely something she didn't know, but when she asked Zheng Xiuxiu, she didn't know either.

Zheng Xiuxiu said, "Sister Geng, if you want to leave here, I can help you leave before the leader returns."

"I'm leaving. What will you do then?"

"Me? It's okay. I was able to reincarnate in my past life thanks to you. At worst, I'll just have to go back and be reborn again." She said it so casually, as if reincarnation was as simple as eating and sleeping. Geng Miaowan was amused by her.

She really wanted to leave. Staying here wouldn't necessarily kill her, but she would definitely lose her innocence. But before she left, there was something she wanted to do.

"Is there any way you can let me see Su Yun'er?"

"See her? What do you want to see her for?"

Geng Miaowan said frankly, "I have a few things I want to ask her in person."

“I see…” Zheng Xiuxiu pondered for a moment, “I can arrange for you to meet her, but I don’t think you can get anything out of her.”

It wasn't until she met Su Yun'er that Geng Miaowan understood what Zheng Xiuxiu meant. It turned out that although Su Yun'er could walk, run, and jump, appearing no different from a normal person, she was actually a mindless puppet. Forget answering her questions, even speaking a single sentence was difficult for her.

On the way back to her room, Zheng Xiuxiu said to Geng Miaowan, "Sister Geng, I just got news that the leader will be back in one more day."

"So fast?"

"Yes," Zheng Xiuxiu asked as they walked, "Sister Geng, are you leaving?"

Geng Miaowan hesitated for a moment. She had originally wanted to get information about Dongfang Liancheng from Su Yun'er, but judging from her expression, it was hopeless. She guessed that Su Yun'er knew nothing else besides her name. In that case, there was no point in staying here any longer.

"Anyway, I don't have much to pack, so why don't we leave now?"

“Okay.” Zheng Xiuxiu readily agreed.

However, before they had taken more than a few steps, they saw Haotian walking towards them, looking travel-worn.

Geng Miaowan couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead, wondering if her luck was just too good...

When Haotian saw Geng Miaowan's figure, he quickened his pace and appeared in front of her as if flying.

“Leader…” Zheng Xiuxiu called out nervously.

Haotian glanced at her casually, then looked at Wan with eyes full of tenderness.

"I...I..." Geng Miaowan's eyes darted around for a moment, "I came here to see Su Yun'er."

Haotian didn't ask her why she went to see Su Yun'er, but only glanced in the direction of Su Yun'er's room with an ambiguous look in his eyes. Then he took something out of his clothes and handed it to Geng Miaowan, saying, "Look what I brought back for you?"

Geng Miaowan looked at him questioningly, then at the small box in his hand. "What's this?"

"Why don't you open it and take a look?"

She didn't want to talk to him, but she was afraid that if she angered him, he might do something uncontrollable, so she had no choice but to take the box and open it.

Inside the box lay a jade pendant, pure white and flawless, warm and translucent, clearly not an ordinary object.

"How do you like it?"

Geng Miaowan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I like it."

"I knew you'd like it." Haotian was in a great mood when he heard her say she liked it. He took out the jade pendant, tied it around Geng Miaowan's waist, and said, "Then you can play by yourself for a while. I have something to do, I'll come find you later."

After saying that, he tried to kiss her on the ear, but she sensitively dodged away.

Haotian didn't feel embarrassed at all. He shrugged slightly, turned around, and left.

Watching Haotian walk further and further away, Geng Miaowan couldn't help but think to herself, "This man's temper is really something... Has he completely forgotten what he did to her a few days ago? Even though it didn't work out in the end, no one would act like this. He's acting like nothing happened."

Oh, right, she forgot that he really wasn't a human being!

Only after he was completely out of sight did Zheng Xiuxiu ask Geng Miaowan anxiously, "What do we do now?"

"Let's go back first." She didn't believe he would really let her play here so easily, especially after they had brought those things up. If Haotian's goal had truly always been her, then she absolutely didn't believe Haotian hadn't taken precautions against her. (To be continued.)
