After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus

Of course we discovered it, but no one would have thought it would snow in the summer.

At most, it might hail.

“She’s getting weaker and weaker.” Tu Shan Han Su got up and went to the door, reaching out to catch a drop of snow with her fingertips. “Before, it was heavy snow, but now it’s mixed with rain.”

"The magical powers of larks after they become spirits are usually to pray for rain, because they love the freshness after the rain, especially the flowers that bloom after the rain, which can provide them with nectar to fill their stomachs."

"But there was one exception, who had learned the magic of praying for snow. Wherever she sang, snow would fall in that place, regardless of the season."

“But supernatural powers shouldn’t be abused like that.”

"When I first met her five hundred years ago, she was a sweet and very likable woman. She was convinced that you would come to find her."

"When I see her again now, her soul has been ravaged by thousands of years of lucidity and abuse of supernatural powers. Although her appearance remains the same, her cultivation has long since deteriorated, and her temperament is morbid. The slightest emotion causes her heart to ache terribly, and she will surely wail and cry blood at noon..."

Zhang Chen was stunned.

"What did she look like when you saw her today?" Tu Shan Han Su asked as she returned to the house.

"She's quite pretty, nothing unusual about her, maybe even a little clumsy..."

“It’s an act,” Miss Fox said.

"Her obsession with you has long since become pathological; she just wants to maintain composure in your presence."

"Do you know what she said when she saw me?"

"what?"

"Slutty fox, stinky bitch, and other nasty things like that, I forgot."

Tu Shan Han Su sighed and took a sip of the vegetable soup. "She comes from a scholarly family and has always been well-mannered and knowledgeable. She's not like this now, spewing vulgarities."

"However, we cannot expect a dying person to adhere to any moral or etiquette."

"This silly little bird just wants to spend its last days with you peacefully, so it chatters and acts fierce, saying bad things, thinking it can scare away other monsters."

"But I don't know what else she's lost." Tu Shan Hansu rested her chin on her hand. "The last time I saw her, she was rolling on the ground, crying her heart out, saying she'd lost something..."

"If you still have feelings for her, then help her get back together."

Zhang Chen nodded, silently shoveled down a few mouthfuls of rice, his throat throbbing as he struggled to swallow.

Why don't you continue by asking me what you said to her that made her wait so long?

Tu Shan Han Su picked up a spoon and fed him a spoonful of soup.

He drank his soup, swallowed his rice, and in the fleeting moment he looked up, he saw the snow falling outside the door. A sound flashed through his mind...

You have fulfilled one of Lin Yinmeng's thousand-year-old wishes.

[Triggering past events...]

More than a thousand years ago, you went to the capital to take the imperial examination, leaving Lin Yinmeng alone at home waiting for you.

[It takes three months to walk to Beijing, one month for the exam, and another three months to return home, totaling more than half a year.]

You thought that this period of time was incredibly long for a newly transformed bird, enough for her feelings for you to completely fade away...

Moreover, larks are not good at flying; long journeys are extremely difficult for them, and they become exhausted after flying only a few miles.

[But when you arrive in the capital and settle into the inn, you suddenly notice a bird with a broken wing outside the window being kicked around like a shuttlecock by children... emitting mournful cries.]

You intervened and saved the sparrow... Her feathers were disheveled, she contracted the flu, her cultivation was completely gone, and she was on the verge of death...

She gently pecks at your fingers with her beak, telling you of her longing for you.

As you know, relations between humans and demons are currently tense. Your cultivation lies in entering the court as an official, so you must settle things with this bird demon as soon as possible...

You cured her, but then you hardened your heart and told her to go home first, but she refused.

You said you would find a way for humans and ladyboys to coexist, but she refused.

You said that the temporary separation was for your future, but she refused.

[Having no other choice, you lied to her, promising to return to her when it snows next June.]

She's a silly bird; she doesn't understand that snow falls in June, she only knows that June happens every year, and so does snow... Well, she'll see you soon.

She believed it and went home to wait for you.

But he never got to see it again.

[Reward Obtained: Shared Fate (Body Root)]

[Note: Your lifespan can be shared with a free-spirited female demon.]

"Zhang Chen?" Tu Shan Han Su called out to him, "I'm asking you a question."

Zhang Chen responded with an apology, then suddenly felt a surge of appetite and picked up the soup to drink it down.

Tu Shan Han Su calmly watched him wolf down his food.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Actually, I still remember."

“Then you’re quite the untrustworthy one,” Miss Fox commented.

"Is it too late?" Zhang Chen asked. "Will my blood be of any use?"

Tu Shan Han Su shook her head. "It's too late. She's too special. Not to mention blood, even your yang energy isn't enough for her. It will only force her to get pregnant, and with her weak body, both mother and child will die."

Is it truly beyond saving?

"I don't know," the fox grumbled. "Whether you save them or not, you can't just sit idly by."

Zhang Chen nodded, finished eating and drinking, got up and went out, then turned back to look at her after taking a few steps:

"Just saying, you wouldn't do that, would you?"

"Of course I'm not that stupid." Tu Shan Han Su leaned against the door, holding the calico cat in her arms to keep it warm.

"That's good."

Watching Zhang Chen leave, Miss Fox pursed her lips and cursed him as a heartless man.

The calico cat ruffled her hair, reminding her of something.

"Well, I see it."

Tu Shan Han Su lowered her eyes and plucked a single white hair from among thousands of black hairs.

It's normal for humans to have gray hair, but for monsters...

She stared blankly at her white hair for a while, then sadly tied it to her wrist as a keepsake.

"This heartless man... didn't even ask me why I felt so empathy."

She empathized because she wasn't particularly smart either.

To be precise, from the moment they fell in love with someone, they all became the biggest fools in the world.

They're all foolish in their own way.

"Fortunately, the white hair is still mostly on that silly cat."

Tu Shan Han Su petted the cat for a while, watched the rain for a bit, put the leftovers in the refrigerator, and then went back upstairs to look through a parenting manual.

The TV upstairs was still on; it had just given an emergency broadcast of news about extreme weather in Ning'an.

She glanced at it and switched to Zhen Huan's Biography.

Downstairs, the mice lined up inside the house, squeaking the slogan "Serve the mice" as they went out one by one.

The sleeping rabbit gradually woke up, looking around in confusion, while the little golden retriever licked its wet fur.

The calico cat stared intently at the newly arrived carp in the pond. Snowflakes fell on the water's surface and were eaten by the carp, who mistook them for candy.

The candy beans were eaten quickly.

The snow, which didn't belong to June, has stopped.

Chapter 49 Being Handsome is a Lifetime Affair (Third Update! Bonus Chapter, Please Read On!)

Zhang Chen needs to start using his brain.

He suddenly realized that Lin Yinmeng's words had a hidden meaning.

The message was meant to teach Zhao Fangyi to accept loss and not to live only for others. But upon closer examination, it simply implies that her days are numbered and she will no longer be able to stay by his side.

On one hand, she longed to be close to him, wishing she could hold him in her arms as soon as they met... On the other hand, she was shy and timid, and after a few actions and a few words, she found it difficult to speak.

It burned halfway, but stopped short of burning.

Without thinking too deeply, it seems that it can be explained by "Lin Yinmeng was just too excited and couldn't control her emotions".

If you think about it more deeply, it's not hard to see that Lin Yinmeng's ever-changing behavior is like someone anxiously making their final arrangements before death.

She was eager to do something.

She had a thousand words to say, but she was afraid that Zhang Chen would see through her current state.

In summary, she's a mature woman, a sweet girl, a gentle woman, and a yandere.

If you put this kind of female character in a corner of the woods, and add a pink-haired girl to the mix, she's basically a mentally ill person with all the buffs stacked up.

Calm down...calm down, think clearly about what Lin Yinmeng lost?

memory.

Yes, memory, Lin Yinmeng's long-cherished wish also cannot bypass this point.

On his deathbed, he couldn't recall any important memories...

It's said that when a person is about to die, a series of images flash through their mind. But if the flashback ends halfway through, that's ridiculous, because once you're dead, there's no chance to play them again.

If it were Zhang Chen, he felt he would die with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

The system had just given him the lifeline of [Shared Fate], sharing a lifespan... He didn't know how long he could live, but it was better than just waiting for the stupid bird to die.

He enjoys his former status, and there's no reason for him not to pay for the sins he committed.

However, the prerequisite for using [Shared Fate] is that the female demon has no more attachments.

That's even more bullshit. What kind of person can be without any attachments? Isn't that a dying person?
