An interesting beginning, a loving process, yet matched with such a rushed conclusion, Jun Moyan couldn’t help but frown, seemingly dissatisfied.
This twist also caught Jun Moyan somewhat off guard, and when he heard that the Demon died to save the young man, his heart unavoidably began to ache.
Perhaps because the young man in the story and Brother Mu Han were too much like him and Xiaoguai, to the extent that he could deeply empathize.
He could even feel the young man’s despair.
After all, even the slightest hurt suffered by Xiaoguai was unbearably painful for him, let alone death.
The drunkard lowered his head, his eyes downcast, smiled, and simply skipped over that accident.
"After that, the young man seemed like a changed person. He still smiled, but he wasn’t happy because his life no longer had Brother Mu Han, nor anyone to call him ’Brother Mu Han.’
He looked ahead, his vision blurred with tears.
Jun Moyan watched him, fell silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Was that young man you?" Follow current novels on NoveIＦire.net
The drunkard burst out laughing, "You must be hearing things, it’s a story, fake! Where in this world could there be any Demons?"
Before Jun Moyan could say anything, the drunkard continued, "This story was told to me by my master to put me to sleep, it’s probably mostly made up by him. After hearing it, I even pestered him to buy me a fox to raise, but we couldn’t find one, so in the end, he bought me a dog..."
"Yes, I’m an orphan; it was my master who raised me. My medical skills were also learned from him, but he’s no longer alive. Just take the story lightly, don’t take it as seriously as I did. Even after so many years, thinking about this story still brings tears to my eyes."
"So, are your tears because you miss your master, or because of the story?"
"Both, I guess. That Fox Demon in the story, despite being so timid, bravely risked its life to save the young man twice, and in the end, even lost its life. Don’t you find it very touching?"
"Do you think this story is unbelievable?"
"Not really." Because Xiaoguai is also a Demon, and his relationship with Xiaoguai was very much like that of the young man and Brother Mu Han in the story.
Just the ending for the young man and the Fox Demon in the story...
"So, are you telling me this story to say that humans and Demons really can’t be together?"
"Not exactly, it’s just that for two beings from different worlds wanting to be together, it’s much harder than it is for ordinary people. Whether it’s a human or a Demon, everyone has the right to choose to love. If they want to be together but can’t, then in the end whether they are together or not, it will be painful. Rather than that, why not enjoy a time of happiness, even if one departs first, leaving the rest of one’s life with beautiful things to reminisce about, right?"
"That’s easy for you to say, a human’s lifetime is but a hundred years, yet a Demon might live for hundreds or thousands of years— how to continue loving each other? You die easily, yet leave the pain to her alone, letting her carry this pain and longing, to suffer alone for hundreds of years until her death?" Jun Moyan said, his heart clenching at the thought.
The mere thought of someone actually enduring such pain, how much courage it must take to continue living.
The drunkard smiled, knowing that Jun Moyan had fallen for the Cat Demon.
He didn’t know whether Wen Xiao’ai was sent by that person, nor what she did to Qing Yi, and even less whether she was good or bad.
Falling in love with a Demon, whoever it may be, wouldn’t have the courage to openly embrace such love.
Because it’s too hard to love.
Yet to give up is also impossible.
Rather than struggle and hesitate, constantly looking forward and backward, it might be better to be willful for once and follow one’s heart.
