After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

Chapter 124 Tonight's Regrets and Yearnings

"What, you said you've never felt anything? Who was it that swore to kill him under the Bitter Love Tree?"

"Now you're acting like a child, going crazy over the fact that his first rays of sunlight have faded?"

"Nonsense."

With a flick of her sleeve, Tu Shan Han Su uttered words that were like pearls, her sharp canine teeth gleaming as if she wanted to tear the cat demon before her to shreds.

Bai Nuoyan opened her mouth, but only managed to exhale without uttering a word.

After all, it was she who came to her first. After fighting with Tu Shan Han Su, she discovered that there was nothing in the other woman's abdomen as she had imagined.

She misunderstood.

But since the laughter has already subsided, it's impossible to apologize now; the concept of apology doesn't exist in a cat's dictionary.

"You bewitched Zhang Chen and stayed by his side day and night, living off his savings. Now that Zhang Chen has lost his virginity right under your nose, who else should I turn to if not you?" She pouted, her wine-red eyes widening.

"I bewitched him? Ridiculous." Tu Shan Han Su scoffed, grabbed a full cup of rice wine and gulped it down, as if building up his anger.

Seeing her like this, Bai Nuoyan refused to give in and picked up the wine pot in front of her, drinking heartily as well.

"Who started eating alone ten years ago? Don't you have any idea how much you've eaten?"

"I didn't force you."

Tu Shan Han Su still sneered.

"Zhang Chen cultivated the supernatural power of time and space to rejuvenate, so when his body was still young, he had already fallen into your clutches..."

"Even man-eating tiger demons don't eat children, yet you, a gold-eating cat demon, eat both meat and vegetables with gusto. How laughable."

"Who is indulging in pleasure, who is irresponsible, and who is squandering their wealth? Bai Nuoyan, you'd better give me a clear answer, or nobody's leaving this mountaintop today!"

"Tsk, he's already two thousand years old, does he still need to care about his physical body? And dare you say you haven't seen what his condition is like?"

"So what if I've seen it? I may have been exceptionally gifted, and I was a prodigy as a child, but I won't disregard ethics like you do."

"What do you know, you cunning fox? That was a necessary disguise. Besides, if I hadn't shown up early to help him control the leakage of his yang energy, his enemies would probably have wiped him out long ago!"

"Hehe." Tu Shan Han Su rolled her eyes in a less-than-charming way, her jade-like arms supporting her on the clouds.

"Bai Nuoyan, I know what kind of person you are. Do you think I don't know you have ulterior motives?"

"His initial yang energy is leaking out, so most of the women who come to him are female demons who have had a past relationship with him, right? Are you after him for your own sake or for his protection?"

"..." Bai Nuo stammered, wanting to laugh but stopping himself, picked up the wine pot and drank several mouthfuls, turning his ears red.

"If you're not satisfied, let's have another fight!"

"A sick cat, not worth fighting. Instead of wasting your energy fighting me, you should improve your close-combat skills." Once Tu Shan Han Su started her personal attack mode, her little mouth wouldn't stop talking.

"Do you know how sharp your barbs are? Didn't you see the scar they left on him?"

"...I didn't do it on purpose." Bai Nuoyan shrank her neck. "How was I supposed to know his skin was so delicate when he was little? He just accidentally got a scar..."

"Besides, wouldn't scars add a more angular and textured feel? Since you're not going to use it for show, sacrificing aesthetics for practicality is more cost-effective, so what's wrong with that?"

"Seeing that scar will ruin even the best mood," Tu Shan Han Su said with considerable resentment. "Only a sick cat like you who only knows how to eat wouldn't care."

"That's true. A stray cat like you wouldn't understand what it means to prioritize feelings over physical body. Your head is full of useless information."

"Then if you're so capable, don't touch him. Go find feelings for him, find romance with him, and see if he pays any attention to you?" Bai Nuoyan muttered.

"Who doesn't know that dead man is utterly inhuman? Besides using his body to seduce him, can you really expect him to have any real love or affection for you?"

I felt a little guilty.

Just then, a thick white cloud, the same color as the wine jugs of the two women, drifted by. Bai Nuoyan opened her mouth, bit and sucked, and ate the white cloud.

She opened her mouth again, and the thick clouds transformed into heavy water vapor that drifted away and condensed into rain.

The White Tiger, also known as the Cloud-Swallowing Beast, is just like its name suggests; Bai Nuoyan always likes to swallow things.

She and Long Luoyang were once close friends, like a tiger swallowing clouds and a dragon blowing rain.

Unfortunately, they eventually discovered that they were both thinking about the same person, their friendship was over, they fought and went their separate ways.

"You two~" At this moment, the cloud whale transformed into a little girl and flew up to the top of the cloud.

"Give us some face, please stop arguing, okay?"

Both women remained silent and did not respond.

"Even if you want to argue, don't come here to argue. There's a super typhoon coming in a few days, and I'm going to have to move," the cloud whale girl said pitifully.

The cloud whale clan drifts with the current in the sea of ​​clouds. Originally, their numbers were few and their reproductive ability was extremely poor. However, after being used as a mount by the Pure Yang Daoist, they received the nourishment of the Pure Yang, which greatly improved their reproductive talent.

Although the number of them only increased from a few to dozens, they became the travel companions of many powerful demons, allowing them to travel hundreds of miles in a single journey.

The innocent cloud whale girl in front of us was stopped by the two women halfway through her flight and occupied the cloud top that the little cloud whale had swallowed.

This cloud-top was originally intended as a temporary resting place for the Cloud Whale Maiden.

"A typhoon? When will it arrive?" Bai Nuoyan and Tu Shan Hansu both thought at the same time that they needed to rush back to collect their clothes and blankets.

On the balcony, there were dusty, smelly socks and pants; in the yard, dried radishes were drying; on the window, there was a potted plant; and there were cured meats and sausages...

Despite their arguments and quarrels, what they cared about gradually shifted from love and hate to the mundane realities of daily life.

Perhaps this is the fate of every monster in the modern world.

"Almost there, they'll be floating out to sea soon." The cloud whale girl wagged her tail. "Anyway, humans are more interested in typhoons."

"During typhoon season, cultivators on the verge of a breakthrough often venture into the eye of the storm. I've heard it's the only chance in modern times to achieve immortality!"

"A typhoon is nothing more than a typhoon formed by absorbing the blazing sun over the ocean. To become an immortal by absorbing the yang energy within it, you might as well just hug Zhang Chen and take a few bites," Bai Nuoyan sighed at this moment.

"That's an exaggeration. The essence of the sun and moon is a natural power. Biting Zhang Chen a few times is far from enough. You would have to absorb his spiritual power to have the same effect."

The cloud whale, still confused, asked, "Have you two also been to the eye of a typhoon?"

"No," Tu Shan Han Su shook her head and said, "but I've seen people go there."

"What?! Is it really possible for someone to get into the eye of the typhoon?!"

"Someone has always loved adventure, so the eye of a typhoon is no exception," Tu Shan Han Su shrugged. "Today, he probably even sparred with a female demon and injured her."

"?" Yunjing asked in confusion, just as Tushan Hansu turned around to jump off the cloud peak.

"Bai Nuoyan, I'm too tired to argue with you anymore. I have no hope for the rest of my life. I'm exhausted after all this time."

"It's like nobody wants to argue with you..." Bai Nuoyan looked towards the horizon, where clouds were rolling and unfolding, as if it were the last gentleness before a storm.

"What, are you afraid he'll face divine retribution for stealing the sky lantern?"

"I've had my share of power before, but this is the first time I've experienced such a massive hurricane. Perhaps there's a bit of fate involved," Bai Nuoyan said sullenly.

"Yes." Tu Shan Han Su nodded. "But I believe him."

"Tu Shan Han Su, didn't you say you would never trust him again in your life?"

"Your life is almost over, why care about so much?"

"Too."

Seeing Bai Nuoyan's inexplicably dejected look, Tu Shan Hansu wasn't in a hurry to go back. She smiled and said, "I heard from Shuyao that you're doing quite well in the mortal realm? You've done biological research, and you're an expert in treating infertility? You've even worked in literature? And you became a judge?"

"I can't write, I can only read. I've lived for so many years, my aesthetic sense can't be worse than that of ordinary people," Bai Nuoyan said.

"You've really become worldly-wise," Tu Shan Han Su sighed.

"As you said, there's no hope for the rest of my life, so why don't you hurry up and see this world?" Bai Nuo said.

"Since you've studied literature, let me ask you, if you were destined to part ways with him, what was the meaning of your initial encounter?"

Bai Nuoyan glanced back at her, "It's been so many years, and you're still lamenting such meaningless things?"

"Sometimes, I suddenly can't figure things out," Tu Shan Han Su admitted.

"All good things must come to an end. When you read a book, do you only read the last page?" Bai Nuoyan asked her in return.

Tu Shan Han Su paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But aren't we both selfish? We both want to possess that last page. We've been fighting for it for thousands of years, and now it's truly the end."

"I didn't argue, this was just my way of getting revenge on him..." Bai Nuoyan habitually retorted, then asked tentatively, "...When are you planning to have the baby?"

Tu Shan Han Su shook her head. "Look at him. He goes against the will of Heaven. It's good in some ways and bad in others. It's good enough that you and I might be able to accompany him through the rest of his life, but it's bad enough that he's so fragile that he could be crushed to death at any moment..."

"Like the wind, it might blow over in the next second and blow the bitter love tree away, tearing it to pieces as well."

"Since someone has already made a move against him, I don't intend to tolerate it for much longer."

"In two or three months, it will be almost Chinese New Year. On New Year's Eve, I should be pregnant," Tu Shan Han Su said.

"I plan to do it on the day of Lichun (the beginning of spring), the day he picked me up," Bai Nuoyan said.

"You certainly know how to pick your time, are you calling for spring?" Tu Shan Han Su teased, and jumped off the cloud before Bai Nuo Yan could catch her breath.

"Come over for New Year's Eve dinner then!" Miss Fox called out from under the clouds.

"Who wants to eat your leftovers?!" Bai Nuoyan finally blurted out.

She exhaled the breath that had been stuck in her throat.

It's like luck, and also like pregnancy.

"vomit!"

Shen Nianxi clutched her lower abdomen and gagged.

"Lord Yuanyou? Are you alright?" the old tortoise demon asked.

"Ah, it's nothing..." Shen Nianxi shook her head. "Go on, tell me about his story."

"Adults, have some water!"

Two little frog demons were also nearby, bringing over spring water in lotus leaf containers.

Shen Nianxi smiled and thanked her, then accepted the gift.

Returning to Tushan, I never expected to find such an old turtle demon here, who could actually remember some of the true history of the Heartless Taoist.

史。

"About five hundred years ago, I was just a land tortoise. A little girl mistook me for a sea turtle and pushed me into the sea. A wave swept me away. I'm a terrible swimmer, so I tried my best to stay afloat... Eventually, I drifted to a small island."

"Just then, a typhoon hit, and I was there all alone, thinking I was going to die..."

"But sometimes things just happen that way. The Pure Yang Daoist came to the sea, passed through the eye of the typhoon, and confronted the will of heaven!"

"He rides a three-legged golden crow! In the eye of the storm, he dares to roar at the heavens!"

"I still remember him saying that he wanted God to give him back everything he deserved. The more he said that, the stronger the typhoon became, blowing me all over the place."

"I saw lightning, I saw waterspouts, I saw wind whipping up wisps of clouds, I saw whales in the sea of ​​clouds, I saw a three-legged golden crow slashing up wind blades..."

Finally, the typhoon subsided, and the Pure Yang Daoist landed on my small island.

"Because I read his conversation with the heavens, I gained considerable cultivation. The immortal said that I was destined to be with him, so he gave me a chance to take human form."

"At that time, I was only thinking about getting revenge on the girl who pushed me into the sea, but the immortal said that the best revenge was to repay evil with good. I didn't think that was right, so I didn't believe him."

"So he told me to transform into human form and go find that little girl again."

"In the end, that girl became my wife. I really took my revenge on her terribly. She aged so quickly. She longed to live longer. She said she wanted to live with me for another hundred years. She was in so much pain..."

"Then I realized that the immortal was right."

"Love is hate, and hate is love." The old tortoise demon bowed and said, "Lord Yuanyou, I have only learned a little about your deeds, and I hope you will not blame him too much."

Shen Wuxi drank the spring water and looked at the cloud whale flying overhead. Amidst the swirling clouds, she said noncommittally, "Old sir, if you have time, please visit Ning'an. The Bitter Love Tree has already been planted."

Zhang Chen, covered in a thick layer of moisture, flew back from the horizon riding a crow.

The crow has now grown a third claw, and its black feathers are mixed with gold. In terms of fighting ability, it can barely hold its own against the rat boss.

But in terms of speed, Zhang Chen can already ride it and fly with the airplane, something that Rat Boss can only dream of.

"You've had a tough time." Zhang Chen picked a fruit from the bitter love tree and gave it to it. "You've suffered a lot on this trip to the eye of the storm."

"Caw caw!" The crow carried away the bitter love tree fruit, its black feathers disappearing into the night.

Back on the second floor of the matchmaking agency, the TV was on, showing the news, which was still reporting live from the typhoon site. There were girls on the balcony taking in their laundry.

Under normal circumstances, with the TV on and the lady on the balcony, it's basically a scene of utter chaos.

Zhang Chen wiped his hair, not looking much, and quietly went over from behind to give Haji a hug.

Hmm? Why has it gotten bigger? Oh well, maybe it's because I'm breastfeeding.

"Don't be angry. Actually, I've discovered that I have a special constitution that allows me to recover every day. I'll be perfectly fine tomorrow..."

He was halfway through his sentence when the person in front of him visibly trembled and responded with a soft, almost inaudible moan.

"Yes, it's me..." Su Qinghe murmured softly.

"?"

Zhang Chen released his grip. "Why aren't you wearing Hanfu? Did you do it on purpose?"

"My clothes got wet from the rain shower, so I had to borrow Sister Hansu's clothes for now..." Su Qinghe said awkwardly, tucking her hair back.

"Uh... Oh, where is she?"

"I went to buy roast duck, saying we'll have it wrapped in pancakes for dinner, but I need you to make some roast duck sauce..."

"Seven-tenths strong, that's what she said," Su Qinghe added.

"Oh." Zhang Chen scratched his head. "But I just cleared out my stock last night, so I can only sell it for five or six cents at most."

"?"

Su Qinghe didn't understand and deliberately didn't want to talk to Zhang Chen much, because she didn't know how to explain that she was still lingering there... so she turned around to collect the clothes.

For a moment, she suddenly realized that the man before her was truly captivating, and she had a very strong premonition that she would never again encounter a man with such charm...

In that instant, she wanted to cry, feeling both lucky and very sad.

Therefore, unable to resist, Su Qinghe deliberately let her clothes get wet, taking the opportunity to stay overnight.

Even if she stayed overnight, she didn't want to actually get involved. She just wanted to look around more, like seeing giant pandas at the zoo. It's a rare sight, so naturally she wanted to look at them more.

"No need to collect it," Zhang Chen said.

"How could I not accept it... A typhoon is coming! It's on TV right now, isn't it? Suddenly that big typhoon that was going to hit Ryukyu suddenly changed course and came to Ning'an..."

"The TV stations are saying the situation is urgent and we need to prepare for flood prevention and disaster relief..."

"Ningan TV reports that Typhoon Taipeng, the 14th typhoon of the year, has changed its course again and is currently predicted to move towards the Fusang Islands..."

"Showers are still expected in many areas; please bring rain gear when traveling..."

Su Qinghe was startled, and then she saw Zhang Chen's wet hair, which for some reason was covered with white foam like cotton, which turned into water when gently wiped.

Suddenly, an exaggerated thought popped into the girl's mind: Could it be that this man in front of her had driven the typhoon away?

It's even more exaggerated than a five-point thick Peking duck sauce.

"A mysterious flight path passed through the eye of the typhoon? Let's hear what eyewitnesses from Ryukyu Island have to say. Ryukyu Island reporter XX, please report for us..."

The television station was still broadcasting the news. Ning'an's television station had a good viewership rating, perhaps because people in the old county town had a special fondness for television.

Whether you want to watch it or not, turning on the TV and letting it play will make things feel much more lively.

Originally, Zhang Chen thought that Miss Zhuli was deliberately wasting electricity by leaving the TV on while sleeping, calling her a spendthrift woman.

But then he thought about it, and when Tu Shan Han Su returned home alone, seeing the reunions of thousands of families outside the window, he couldn't help but feel lonely and cold.

Turning on the TV is a small consolation, and it also makes the fox's home look very happy.

"Damn it! I'm trying to secure the fishing boat to the wind because of the typhoon, but this damn typhoon is too fast! It's going to capsize my boat!"

"Uh... sir, we're conducting an interview, please watch your wording... May I ask what happened afterward?"

"Oh my god! A black gray plane flew by! I don't even know if it's a plane or a bird. Holy crap, there were people on that bird! One flap of its wings created a huge wave! It blew the typhoon away!"

"You mean...a bird came and drove the typhoon away?"

"Damn, yeah! That bird is definitely from China, I'm telling you, it's super awesome that the typhoon carried it all the way to Japan!"

'

Zhang Chen pressed a button on the remote control and changed the channel.

"This year's event still has this kind of intricate interview; humanity is going to need alkyl octanitrile."

"..." Su Qinghe disagreed with this opinion. She was almost certain that Zhang Chen had driven the typhoon away.

That's outrageous... How did they even manage to do that?

Su Qinghe then pretended to slip out onto the balcony, picked up her paintbrush and notebook, and carefully imagined the grand scene in her mind, but...

No matter how hard you try, you can't draw it.

She glanced up furtively, wanting to etch the other person's appearance into her mind and then depict it in a painting, but she was also afraid of being caught if she made eye contact like that.

"Didn't you want this fruit?" Zhang Chen suddenly asked, pointing to the bitter love tree fruit on the table.

"Huh?" Su Qinghe thought she had been caught stealing Zhang Chen's drawing, and she was stunned for a moment, her heart racing.

"I can give it to you, but you have to tell me what you're going to use it for."

"I... my great-grandparents sent me to find this fruit."

"How did he find out? That should be confidential, right?"

"They say... there's a huge company where people sell intelligence, and my family spent tens of millions to buy that intelligence."

Zhang Chen laughed when he heard this; this company was truly rotten to the core.

"I'll give you this fruit, but you can only eat it yourself. Can you handle that?"

"I..."

"There's a second condition," Zhang Chen added, "Work for me."

"Okay." Su Qinghe agreed immediately, she didn't know why she was so decisive.

"My organization has no shortage of intelligence, but it lacks someone as intelligent and kind-hearted as you," Zhang Chen said.

"I should be able to do everything except give birth," Su Qinghe affirmed.

"That would be great..."

"Zhang Chen!" Suddenly, Miss Fox's voice came from downstairs, "Qing He is a guest, how can you have the nerve to ask her to do things for you?"

Zhang Chen gave an awkward laugh and looked down at Miss Tanuki, who was returning from grocery shopping. She remained aloof, yet incredibly gentle.

Behind the girl, the eldest rat had eaten until his belly was round and full, and he was wearing a string of wisdom beads on his head. At this time, the monk muttered something like "Squeak squeak Amitabha".

A rain shower caused a few mushrooms to sprout in the yard, which were then stomped on by a pretty girl, making them look delicious.

Zhang Chen hurriedly went downstairs to take the groceries from the girl's hands, "Get lost, where's the roast duck sauce?"

"Almost there, Hansu, look, there's no typhoon today..."

"Where's the roast duck sauce?"

"Uh, I think roast duck is fine to eat on its own."

"Where's the roast duck sauce?"

"Forget it, I'm more sensitive right now..."

"hurry up."

"Give me some space..."

Tu Shan Han Su ignored his nonsense, grabbed him with her tail, and threw him to the second floor...

"Hmm, Qinghe," Miss Tanuki mumbled from inside the room.

"what?"

"Hold out your hand, let me give you something to eat first, then you can bend over and eat the roast duck."

"Oh...ah?!"

After the meal, with oil dripping from her lips, Su Qinghe finally had an inspiration.

She drew a new picture: a storm raged, the sea was upside down, and the immortal in the Su-pao robe, riding the golden crow, stood alone in the center of the vortex.

Wherever it passes, the wind stops and the rain ceases.

"What are you painting?" Tu Shan Hansu handed over an ice cream, but when he saw Su Qinghe's painting, he was stunned.

"Just drawing whatever comes to mind," Su Qinghe said with a smile. "Sister Hansu, didn't you say Zhang Chen went to settle a lawsuit with another woman? Aren't you angry?"

"Angry." Tu Shan Han Su looked at the painting and chuckled to herself.

"Overjoyed yet secretly heartbroken, what can be done? Nothing can stop the light from moving forward."

Su Qinghe paused and glanced back at Zhang Chen, who was sprawled on the sofa like Ge You.

She looked at the painting in her hand again...

She tore up the painting and painted a new one.

This time, the painting only features a small house with a yard, a tree, a cat named Yaya, a mouse shrouded in mist, and...

A sweet couple.
