After Hu Jiu and her partners were chased out, Ming Shu’s life got more boring.

  Yun Huang wouldn’t speak if you didn’t initiate a conversation. Even if you spoke to him, he would only reply with a few words.

  Most of the time, he didn’t know anything. He was a conversation ender.

  The weather got hotter.

  It should be near July now.

  The cracks in the ground became wider. Cracks even appeared on the damp ground in the valley.

  This was when Yun Huang became useful.

  The night in the mountain was quiet.

  Yun Huang was used to Ming Shu hugging him when she was asleep. He didn’t need to sleep so he would just lie there like a log.

  He raised his head slightly and looked at the person hugging him with the help of the faint moonlight.

  These shapeshifters said that she was beautiful.

  Yun Huang felt that she was beautiful too.

  She was more beautiful than any shapeshifter he ever saw.

  He reached out his hand carefully and touched her lips. Yun Huang observed her reaction. Then he touched her lips again.

  He suddenly remembered how comfortable he felt when he kissed her.

  Yun Huang thought for a moment. He raised his head and touched her lips with his.

  Well……

  Then?

  Yun Huang was deep in thought so he didn’t notice the person opening her eyes.

  Just as Yun Huang recalled what the next step was, he felt Ming Shu’s lips moving away.

  “Wu……”


  Yun Huang blinked. He looked at Ming Shu with a puzzled look.

  “What are you doing?”


  Yun Huang replied sincerely, “I felt good when you did this to me last time.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Should she argue with an idiot?

  No!

  Ming Shu felt a little helpless. She kissed him. “Fine. Don’t move. Go and sleep.”


  Yun Huang suddenly pulled her hand and placed it somewhere. “Why?” he asked curiously.

  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Yun Huang was still waiting for Ming Shu’s reply.

  Ming Shu: “.……”

  Yun Huang didn’t feel uncomfortable. He was just not used to the changes in his body.

  Ming Shu glanced at Yun Huang. When she realized that he seemed undisturbed, she started to feel pity for him.

  Yun Huang wanted to ask Ming Shu again but Ming Shu kissed him. This time, she was even more passionate than last time.

  “Wu……”


  Yun Huang widened his eyes.

  Ming Shu smiled as she kissed him. Her body temperature warmed up his cold skin.

  After a long time, Ming Shu leaned toward his ear and whispered, “Is this comfortable?”


  Yun Huang replied calmly, “Yes.”


  “Any other feelings?”


  “Other feelings?” Yun Huang tilted his head. “Like what?”


  “Nothing.” In novels, a cold male protagonist would normally turn kind after sleeping with the female protagonist.

  This is the difference between your real parents and your stepmother.

  Ming Shu hugged Yun Huang and continued to kiss him. Yun Huang moaned in a soft voice. Ming Shu felt as though he was seducing her.

  After a while, Yun Huang tugged at his clothes. “I……”


  “It’s okay. I will clean up,” Ming Shu consoled him. “Stop asking questions. I don’t want to give you a biology lesson in the middle of the night.”


  Yun Huang swallowed his questions when he heard what Ming Shu said.

  She said that he must be obedient

  Ming Shu when to get some water to wash up. She changed his clothes and then lay down on the bed while hugging him.

  Yun Huang placed his cold hand on Ming Shu’s waist. “Why do you treat me so well?”


  “Only a ghost will know.”


  “Is…… is it the witcher spirit?” Yun Huang said. “How will he know?”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  “How do you know that the witcher spirit is a ghost?”

  There were no emotion in Yun Huang’s eyes. “I don’t know.”


  Ming Shu pinched his earlobe and whispered, “What is the witcher spirit to you?”


  Yun Huang answered, “Bad. Need to kill him.”


  According to what the black dog leader said, Yun Huang killed the shapeshifters who had something to do with the witcher spirit. Was he trying to kill the witcher spirit?

  Yun Huang looked up. “Don’t be like them. I will kill you.”


  “Why would I be like them?” Ming Shu pressed his head back. “You want to kill me? You are getting bold.”


  Yun Huang’s voice was muffled. “If you don’t turn into something like them, I will not kill you.”


  He didn’t want to see her lying on the ground and looking at him like those shapeshifters he killed.

  He just wanted her to smile at him.

  Just like now, when he could hear her heartbeat.

  The sound of metal objects hitting each other could be heard. Ming Shu said, “Do you recognize this?”


  Yun Huang slowly raised his head. He looked at the thing Ming Shu was holding.

  He looked at it for some time. He shook his head. “What is this?”


  Ming Shu put away the thing. “Nothing. Don’t make any noise. Sleep.”


  “I don’t need to sleep.”


  “I do.”


  “Why?”


  “Shut up.”


  “.……”
……

  Ming Shu felt that tonight was not suitable for sleeping. The moment she slept, Little Beastie screamed and woke her up.

  Could you imagine how frightening it was to hear a loud scream in the middle of the night?

  Yun Huang’s eyes were still open. He was staring at her intently.

  The moment Ming Shu opened her eyes, she met his gaze. It was a little scary.

  Ming Shu raised her hand and covered his eyes.

  Yun Huang didn’t struggle. He was obedient.

  Ming Shu suddenly thought about Chu Hui. That cute, handsome young man. If he was half as obedient as Yun Huang, she would be elated.

  She could play with him for one year.

  Ming Shu removed her hand and kissed Yun Huang on the forehead. “I will go out and take a look. Don’t move.”


  Ming Shu got off the bed. She turned and said, “Forget it. Come with me.”


  Yun Huang got up obediently. Ming Shu held his hand as they went out.

  Little Beastie was emitting light. It kept jumping around too. She could see it from afar.

  “What are you doing in the middle of the night?” Ming Shu got near Little Beastie and caught it.

  Little Beastie hugged Ming Shu’s wrist and complained fervently.

  It kept rubbing itself against Ming Shu’s fingers. It saw Yun Huang from the corner of its eyes and jumped unhappily.

  Ming Shu gave Little Beastie to Yun Huang.

  Little Beastie: “.……”


  Yun Huang and Little Beastie stared at each other. Ming Shu had already let go of Yun Huang and was walking outside the valley.

  Little Beastie pouted unhappily. It grabbed Yun Huang’s sleeve and slipped onto his shoulder.

  Then, it tidied its fur and climbed on his head. It sat there like an emperor.

  Yun Huang froze. He didn’t dare to move. He looked at Ming Shu intently.
