"Now that you know so much about me, shouldn't I ask you something? What are you doing here?"

The boy's captivating voice reached Chongyun's ears, and for some reason, Chongyun only wanted to tell him these things.

"I am an exorcist, and I have come here to find demons."

As Chongyun finished speaking, Xingqiu glanced at him and then asked, "And then make a contract with a fairy?" Xingqiu's voice carried an inexplicable coldness, and Chongyun didn't know what he had done to anger him.

"It would be best if we could form a contract, but it's okay if we can't." Chongyun quickly waved his hand after hearing Xingqiu's words. "I won't force the fairy."

Xingqiu's complexion improved, and he gestured for Chongyun to drink some tea. Chongyun picked up the teacup and realized that it didn't contain tea leaves, but rather something that looked like fresh flowers, giving the tea a floral fragrance.

"This smells so good."

Chongyun took a small sip with a look of amazement, his words tinged with the naivety of a young boy. Xingqiu smiled and told Chongyun, "These are flowers from outside. I collected some to make a tea. How is it? Not bad, right?"

Xingqiu spoke with a hint of pride, and at this moment he truly seemed like a young man. Chongyun took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and continued to ask Xingqiu, "Are those irises outside? They're a little different from ordinary irises."

Xingqiu looked slightly surprised. "You recognized them. They're just that the white and gold parts are larger. The petals are also a deep blue."

"Doesn't it look better this way?"

Following Xingqiu's question, Chongyun nodded. Looking at Xingqiu's delicate face, Chongyun felt a little shy. "Beautiful, very beautiful."

Xingqiu found it somewhat amusing to see Chongyun avoid eye contact. He leaned closer to Chongyun and asked, "Is he prettier than me?"

Chongyun looked into Xingqiu's golden eyes, feeling as if he had just seen something before. Then, his mind filled with the image of the boy before him. "...You're handsome."

Chongyun hesitated for a moment before speaking, and what he said made Xingqiu laugh again. "You're such an idiot. Let me accompany you for a stroll in this valley later."

Chongyun looked at Xingqiu in surprise, only to be met with Xingqiu's nonchalant reply. "Little exorcist, aren't you looking for demons? Maybe you'll find one willing to form a contract with you?"

Chongyun was very happy, not because he wanted to rely on the young man before him. It was just an instinctive feeling from the bottom of his heart that made him happy; Chongyun felt that he had a chance. Although he didn't know where the opportunity came from, or what kind of opportunity it was.

But Chongyun knew he had to be careful. Since childhood, Chongyun had trusted his intuition, which had helped him overcome many difficulties. This time it would definitely be reliable as well, Chongyun told himself.

The two boys didn't stay in the house for long; Xingqiu only let Chongyun recover his strength for a while. He could tell that Chongyun had gone through a long journey and was somewhat tired, which was why he brewed him that cup of flower tea.

Chongyun could also feel that his strength was recovering quickly after drinking the tea. However, seeing Xingqiu's profile as he looked out the window, Chongyun still didn't ask anything.

Stepping out of the house, the two first went to the shore of the lake. Chongyun stared blankly at the lake, then at Xingqiu. "Such a clear lake, are there any fish in it?"

It's no wonder Chongyun was puzzled. From the edge of the lake, the water was crystal clear, and there were no fish in this area. Although he couldn't see the lake water in the distance, Chongyun was still quite curious.

Xingqiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Chongyun's stomach. "Are you hungry?" After Chongyun shook his head, Xingqiu continued, "Of course there are fish, but you can't see them now. They'll be available at night."

Chongyun nodded and followed Xingqiu into the distant forest. Chongyun didn't know where Xingqiu was taking him, but his instinct told him that Xingqiu wouldn't hurt him.

Xingqiu was speechless at Chongyun's obedience. As he walked forward, he asked Chongyun, "Are you an idiot? You didn't even ask me where I'm taking you."

"What if I give you to a monster to eat? Or what if I leave you here and run away?"

Chongyun scratched his head, his ears turning slightly red. Xingqiu, who was leading the way, naturally didn't notice Chongyun's red ears. He only heard the reply from the person behind him, a reply filled with sincerity that seemed to burn a piece of Xingqiu's heart.

"I believe in you. I don't know why, I just think you're a good person."

Sensing Xingqiu's silence, Chongyun felt a little uneasy. He continued to explain, "I don't easily trust others, but I feel that you are different..."

Chongyun didn't know what to say; he was a little uneasy. Xingqiu stopped Chongyun from continuing his racking-for-an-explanation, "Alright, I understand."

Hearing Xingqiu's voice, Chongyun sensed that he wasn't angry, so he felt reassured and continued following behind him. Xingqiu changed his mind, paused, and led Chongyun in another direction.

After walking for a while, Xingqiu stopped and turned to show Chongyun the scenery before him. Chongyun looked at the scene before him, his mouth slightly agape in amazement.

Hidden among the jungle was such a beautiful place, with all sorts of wildflowers blooming on the vast grasslands. They blossomed in countless shapes and forms, displaying their own unique beauty.

Fluttering among the flowers were all sorts of little fairies. Their delicate appearances were so adorable that they softened one's heart. Chongyun looked at these little fairies and exclaimed in surprise.

"Why are there so many little devils here?"

Chongyun's eyes were pure, devoid of greed or desire. Xingqiu looked into Chongyun's clear eyes, and the movements of his hands behind his back slowed down.

"Aren't you looking for fairies? This is where fairies live; no one else can find them here."

Xingqiu gazed at the distant fairies, a look in his eyes that Chongyun couldn't quite grasp. Turning back, Xingqiu met Chongyun's icy, crystal-like eyes, and Xingqiu found himself drawn to them. They resembled the distant snow-capped mountains he had seen many years ago.

Xingqiu refused to meet Chongyun's eyes any longer and turned his head to look at the little demons. Seeing that Xingqiu didn't want to look at him, Chongyun lowered his head in disappointment, and then heard Xingqiu's question.

"Would you like to take a closer look at them?"

Chongyun looked at the little fairy in the distance and shook his head. "No need."

Xingqiu had been watching Chongyun's actions closely. Seeing him shake his head, he had a guess in his mind and asked him in an unfriendly tone, "What, do you think they're too weak? Not the powerful ones you hoped for, so you..."

"No, it's not."
