He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

"you you!"

"What's wrong with me?" Yun Yi mustered her courage and took two steps closer.

Chen Shun quickly stepped back, his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word.

He was panting, his heart pounding like a drum.

It jumped faster than ever before.

The little witch under the setting sun seemed to have changed in his eyes, overlapping with the inner demon that had appeared in his dream, making it impossible to distinguish her.

What inner demons are there?

She's just a little witch who occasionally sneaks into her dreams.

"You...you witch, you...you've disturbed my Dao heart..."

Yun Yi covered her mouth and chuckled, then stepped forward and tapped Chen Shun's chest with her index finger.

"Is this the Dao Heart?"

Yun Yi's palms were sweaty, and her heart was beating no slower than Chen Shun's.

But she knew that this was a perfect opportunity to bring the two of them closer, and she might not have the courage to be so proactive again later.

She mustered all her courage to stay and not run away.

"Chen Shun, will there be a place for me in your heart?"

Yun Yi tried her best to make her voice sound trembling.

Chen Shun reached out and grabbed Yun Yi's fingers.

Yun Yi shuddered, made a soft "uh-huh" sound, tried to struggle for a moment, but gave up when it was no use.

We had clearly agreed that I wouldn't let him hold my hand so easily anymore.

Why is it that now, when he's leading me, I can't muster any resistance?

Once he catches you, there's no escape...

I don't want to run away anymore.

"Yunyi, my heart is beating so fast, am I going to die?" Chen Shun grabbed Yunyi's hand and asked anxiously.

An unprecedented feeling of warmth was surging through his body, making Chen Shun think he had gone mad.

Yun Yi exerted a little force and pulled Chen Shun closer to him.

"Do you want to get close to death again?"

It sounds like a cringey statement, but it doesn't matter in front of Chen Shun.

"miss you!"

This time, Chen Shun answered without hesitation.

This entirely new experience made Chen Shun feel as if he were in a sweet abyss, knowing full well that he would fall into it but unable to stop himself.

His unthinking answer stunned Yun Yi for a second, then he stuck out his tongue and spat, cursing Chen Shun for being shameless.

"Close your eyes."

Chen Shun obediently closed his eyes, but his heart was restless, anticipating the warm touch he had felt earlier.

The imagined romantic scene did not appear. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yun Yi with his arms crossed, smiling at her.

Do you know what a girl's kiss means?

"How can you ask a girl for a kiss like that..."

"Isn't it too easy to reward you like this?"

Do you understand my feelings?

"..."

The barrage of questions left Chen Shun's mind blank, unsure where to begin answering.

But he understood one thing: he was special to the little witch, which was why she did this to him.

And his feelings for the little witch seem to be special as well.

He just realized this.

He didn't know what liking was, but he felt that perhaps that kind of feeling was called liking.

Inner demons are nothing more than self-deception and pretense, stemming from an inability to acknowledge one's own emotions.

Perhaps, that emotion existed within me from the very day my inner demons began to fester.

Or perhaps even earlier?

Yun Yi withdrew her small hand and placed it on Chen Shun's collarbone. With a gentle push, she pressed Chen Shun down onto the pile of fallen leaves.

Both of them were breathing heavily, staring into each other's eyes.

Yun Yi read confusion, expectation, and... in Chen Shun's eyes.

Demand.

Little Sword Immortal probably has never had such an experience in his life.

"Hehe, close your eyes again this time."

Yun Yi straddled Chen Shun's waist and reached out to cover Chen Shun's vision.

"Ok?"

She turned her head to look behind her and spat again.

He's still a normal guy after all.

She swept her loose black hair behind her head and leaned down to kiss Chen Shun's cheek.

Since he wants to get close to death, let him touch it.

……

A few minutes later.

A sword immortal was thrashing about on the ground.

"Hey, Yunyi, stop chewing..."

"Stop...stop biting! My face is numb and swollen!"

"It's all your saliva!"

Chen Shun quickly grabbed the little witch's shoulders and lifted her off his body.

Yun Yi chuckled foolishly, still pouting, but Chen Shun interrupted his spellcasting.

Yun Yi bent over, wanting to continue, but Chen Shun held her firmly, and she angrily scoffed.

"Let me go! Let me kiss you!"

"Is this what you call a kiss? You're trying to wash my face, aren't you?"

"Let go, or I'll bite you to death!"

Yun Yi turned her head and grabbed Chen Shun's arm, biting hard at Chen Shun's wrist.

As soon as Chen Shun withdrew his hand, Yun Yi lost his support and tumbled down from above Chen Shun.

As they rolled over, their positions reversed, and Chen Shun ended up pinning Yun Yi down.

Yun Yi's eyes were glazed over, and her face was redder than the setting sun beside her. She turned her head to look to the side.

The two men's heavy breathing mingled together, making the atmosphere increasingly strange.

In the quiet, deserted forest, the only sound could be the rustling of two people rubbing and squeezing fallen leaves.

The little witch lay flat on her back with her eyes tightly closed, revealing her fair neck and clearly visible collarbone.

Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which clung to a few strands of her hair.

Yun Yi squeezed her thighs together, panting, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Both of them knew perfectly well what she was waiting for.

Awaiting the revenge of a certain sword immortal.

And in Chen Shun's mind, the image of Yun Yi kissing his cheek at the very beginning kept repeating.

The little witch is right in front of me now, and I can take my revenge at any time.

Revenge, revenge!

Chen Shun looked at the little witch's flushed cheeks and swallowed hard.

He finally asked the question that had been puzzling him for so long.

"Yunyi, do I like you?"

You've got the question backwards.

"No, I didn't ask the opposite."

Why are you asking me whether you like me or not?

"Because I really don't know."

Yun Yi opened her eyes and saw Chen Shun's helpless and bewildered gaze. She suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

"I don't know if you like me, but I can stay by your side until you figure it out."

Then I'll wait for you to confess your feelings.

"……Thank you."

Chen Shun's brows relaxed, and he released Yun Yi.

Yun Yi was stunned for a moment. Did he just let go of her like that?

The atmosphere was already perfectly set. Even if Chen Shun did something slightly excessive, she was prepared and had already adopted the most seductive poses to arouse a man's desire!

That's it, that's it!?
