"Hehe... Leng Yihan... I'm becoming more and more interested in you..."

-

Early in the morning, Leng Yihan woke up on her own and the first thing she did was rush to Leng Binglan's tent to check on Lin Yin's condition.

"Still not awake?" As soon as Leng Yihan entered, she saw Lin Yin still lying motionless on the bed, her wounds having been mostly treated.

"You bastard... what are you doing here..." Suddenly, a weak voice rang out behind Leng Yihan.

"Huh?! Huh... Bing, Binglan?" Leng Yihan suddenly turned around and looked at the familiar girl in front of her, who was weak and listless. Leng Yihan unconsciously said the girl's name.

"Tch..." The other party was not happy and clicked their tongue.

"Oh... Ice Demon... I wouldn't recognize you without your mask." Leng Yihan was stunned for a moment before realizing who the person in front of her was.

"Are you mocking me, you bastard..." The Ice Demon glared at Leng Yihan with displeasure, reached into his pocket, took out the familiar metallic blue mask, and put it back on his face.

Seriously... is that some kind of dimensional pocket...? How did you manage to fit such a huge mask inside...?

“You haven’t answered my question yet… What are you doing here?” the Ice Demon asked.

"Can't I come to see Lin Yin? By the way, have you thought about what your future holds? You're a member of the Demon Sun Moon Sect, aren't you?" Leng Yihan said.

“Yes, I am a weapon that they have crafted to a very high degree of perfection, but my strength is far inferior to Lin Yin’s. However, Lin Yin also has a flaw: she cannot get close to living people, otherwise the hundred ghosts inside her may go berserk.” The Ice Demon said coldly.

"Thank you for the information. Is there something you want to trouble me with?" Leng Yihan said, as if she could see right through the Ice Demon's thoughts.

"A bluff." - Ice Demon.

"Tch... You saw right through it..." Leng Yihan clicked her tongue. "This trick always works against those big shots..."

“So it’s useless against me, because I’m not a big shot, just an imposter,” the Ice Demon said.

"So... what exactly do you want? Can you stop being so coy and just say it?" Leng Yihan looked at the Ice Demon speechlessly.

"...Could you...take me in?" the Ice Demon asked, bowing his head.

"...You don't want to go back? Aren't you very loyal to your organization?"

"I don't want to be a substitute anymore, I don't want to be a counterfeit anymore... There, I would only feel like a complete, utter counterfeit, with no place for me at all, only a place for the real thing. If I weren't a counterfeit, how would I have fared in the Demon Sun and Moon?" The Ice Demon's voice was calm, as if he were just stating something very ordinary.

“…Go find Binglan and discuss this with her.” Leng Yihan looked away. “I can’t make that decision.”

"...Hmm." The Ice Demon nodded after a short silence, then turned to leave.

"Oh... I forgot to ask you a question."

"?"

What's your name?

"...Ice Demon".

"No, no, no, that's a code name, I'm asking for your real name," Leng Yihan said seriously.

"……No."

……

The scene fell silent instantly, and the Ice Demon's dejected expression could not be concealed even by his mask.

Without a name, how can one be called a person...?

"What would you like to call me?"

"I'm already used to being called the Ice Demon, I don't need a name and it doesn't matter to me."

"Then I'll think of one without being polite," said Leng Yihan.

"Hey..." The Ice Demon suddenly turned around, "Say that again, you bastard..."

"Let's call him Leng Zhenmo, Zhen as in pearl."

"Why is the surname Leng...?"

"Because it's the name I wanted." Looking at Leng Yihan's self-righteous expression, the Ice Demon couldn't help but feel helpless.

"You're a naming genius..."

"What? You don't like it?"

"dislike……"

"Do you want it?"

"...You win." The Ice Demon sighed. "Nice to meet you, Leng Yihan."

"It's too early to say that," Leng Yihan smiled. "Please give me your guidance, Leng Zhenmo."

"It still sounds awful..."

"If you don't want to, just think of it yourself!"

287 Welcome home, Lin Yin!

"Get ready to go, you two!" Suddenly, Yi Tianzhai appeared behind Leng Zhenmo and said to the two of them.

"Okay, by the way, will the train be too crowded this time?" Leng Yihan asked cautiously, just in case.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we've taken that into consideration and prepared enough cars to fit all of us," Yi Tianzhai said. As he turned to leave, he suddenly turned back to Leng Zhenmo and asked, "Oh, by the way, Lord Ice Demon... have you decided where you'll be going? Back to the Demon Realm? Or...?"

"I'd like to stay at Leng Yihan's house for a while," Leng Zhenmo said.

"Well... then we'll have to trouble you to come with us later." Yi Tianzhai turned around and looked at Leng Zhenmo. "We need to make sure you don't have anything on you that could harm us."

“No problem.” Leng Zhenmo nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Ah... what should we do about Lin Yin?" Leng Yihan remembered Lin Yin, who was still unconscious, and asked hurriedly.

"Just put it in the car you're leaving in and take it with you. There's plenty of space, more than enough for one more person," Yi Tianzhai said.

"That's good..." Leng Yihan nodded. "Then I'll be going now. You guys get ready. Meet at the central square in ten minutes. Lin Yin's physical condition doesn't seem to be any abnormal right now, so just carry her away."

“…Hmm.” Leng Yihan nodded. “Little Demon, go and talk to Binglan about your situation first. If she doesn’t agree, there’s nothing I can do.” Leng Yihan turned her head and said to Leng Zhenmo.

"Who is Little Demon, huh...?"

"Oh my? Is your relationship progressing so quickly?" Yi Tianzhai asked with a gossipy look when he heard Leng Yihan's way of addressing Leng Zhenmo.

"No way..."

“We have a pretty good relationship. After all, Ice Demon didn’t have a name before, and we’re so close that we could even give her a name.” Leng Yihan said.

"Hey, it was clearly you who forced me..."

"Oh? What's your name?" Yi Tianzhai.

"Don't give it to me..."

“Leng Zhenmo.” Leng Yihan.

"It's a nice name," said Yi Tianzhai.

"See? Sure enough, there are still people with the same aesthetic sense as me," Leng Yihan said to Leng Zhenmo with a smug look.

"They were just giving you face, okay..." Leng Zhenmo said with a look of disgust.

"Then I'll take my leave now. See you later." - Yi Tianzhai

"See you later." Leng Yihan.

"You...then I'll be going too." Leng Zhenmo.

"Go ahead, I'll stay here and watch over Lin Yin a little longer," Leng Yihan said, turning and walking back into the tent.

"..." Leng Zhenmo glanced at Leng Yihan's back before turning around and leaving with Yi Tianzhai.

-

"Finally, we can go!" Xiao Yulin stretched out a big yawn.

"What are you doing... You've clearly been here all day, okay?!" Leng Yihan complained.

"Ah~ well..." Xiao Yulin scratched her head awkwardly, then put on a young lady's air, "Overall, this mission was completed very well."

“You did a fantastic job!” Kang Meng replied.

"Singing in unison...you two..." Leng Yihan glared at the two of them, saying nothing, but only complaining in her heart.

Glancing at Lin Yin beside her, Leng Yihan felt a little nervous and uneasy. Lu Youmei still hadn't come out; she must have encountered some trouble...

Please be alright...

"What's wrong, brother? You look so anxious?" Leng Binglan asked softly, noticing Leng Yihan's anxious expression.

"Huh? Really?" Leng Yihan was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh. "You must be too concerned about Lin Yin." Xiao Yulin chimed in for her, "Ah~ Jihan, you're such an innocent boy~"

"Speaking of which, Yu Xiao, what exactly do you want to call me? Sometimes you call me Ji Han, and sometimes you call me Yi Han..."

"Aren't you the same?"

"Tch...old woman..."

"Tsk...you little brat..."

"Who's the little girl?!"

"You were the one who called me an old woman first!"

"But the fact that you didn't refute it means you admit that you're an old woman!"

"Bullshit! Who acknowledged you as a guy!"

"Hey, hey, old woman, what do you want to do?! A gentleman uses words, not fists, you know... Ahhh!!!"

"You little brat, come here right now!"

"Hey, hey... can you guys please consider me as the driver...?"

And so, Leng Yihan and her group drove back to Jinshan City in this noisy environment.
