Chapter 40

In a room, Chu Qianxun found demons discarded randomly on the ground. It was enviable and eye-catching. All kinds of magical creatures of various ranks that could make countless people give their lives for were mixed together and scattered randomly on the ground.　

Chu Qianxun was almost shocked by such wealth. She believed that the wealth in the hands of most of the gangsters couldn’t be compared with the number of demons in this room.　　

These belonged to Ye Peitian alone, and he even discarded them in this empty room without any care.　　

Chu Qianxun searched through the huge pile of gems for a long time, and finally found a few of the lowest order demons and took them away from the castle.

…　　

Ye Peitian’s recovery ability was far different from ordinary people. When the sun began to set, he woke up from a deep sleep. The wounds that looked terrible in the morning on his body had basically healed. There was only a huge penetrating wound in the abdomen because of the weapon. The special corrosion effect repeated between healing and being corroded.　

He sat up from the bed. The sky was approaching dusk at the moment. In the vast desert outside the window, a red sun was slowly sinking into the horizon.　　

Ye Peitian stretched out and took care of his hair. He felt his heart beating slowly in his chest. He didn’t know how to describe his mood at the moment, but he knew that his heart was completely different from that of before.　　

There was another person in the castle, another living being. That person was neither afraid of him nor showing a disdain to him.　　

She would speak softly to him, smile at him, bandage his wounds and prepare steaming food for him.　

Ye Peitian felt his heart beating vigorously in his chest, a kind of leaping out of breath.　　

He opened the door and walked downstairs with a trace of joy and expectation.　

There was no light in the living room.　　

The afterglow of the sun pulled in diagonally from the windows everywhere, pulling out the dark shadows on the walls.　　

The long black shadow and the afterglow of the sunset that had begun to cool, left a red light and shadow in the entire empty hall.　

Ye Peitian stayed in the silent hall for a long time and listened carefully. He didn’t want to miss even the slightest sound. However, except for the humming wind in the desert and the sound of floating fine sand, there was silence around him.　　

He finally walked slowly to the wide living room. At this time, he would start to light up the oil lamps scattered in every corner of the whole castle to make it bright.

But at the moment, he suddenly lost interest in what he must do every day.　　

Whether it was swallowed by darkness or buried by silence, it didn’t matter. Through the light and shadows, he walked through the kitchen, and walked up the spiral stairs. 

Walking through the long corridors, the doors on either side of the corridor were open, and there was no one in the room.　

The human was gone.　

This was a matter of time of course. No one would stay in such a silent castle with a demon.

His heart seemed to be empty in that moment, and fell into the bottom of a deep valley.　

Eventually he walked back to the dining room and sat in the position he sat in the morning.

The night was shrouded, and the castle was plunged into a dark world.

Ye Peitian pulled out the night light from his arms. He flicked his finger slightly twice before turning on the switch. The white shimmer lit up, illuminating the limited space, and brought him into that circle. Only in the faint light did his suffocating senses feel a little better.　

He covered his still-bleeding abdomen. The kind of pain that was so common to him at this moment felt like bone gangrene. The pain was unbearable, but he couldn’t get rid of it.　　

Obviously, he was used to living alone. Just because the human appeared for just one night, this loneliness suddenly became so deep, so unbearable.

But he could only endure.

Ye Peitian sat in the night for a long time, his dim gaze staring at the little night light on the table. The pale light flickered, and it suddenly became dark. The only light in the darkness seemed to be taken away from him.　　

A gust of wind sounded outside the gate with brisk steps.　　

Ye Peitian’s eyes brightened at once, and he looked up instantly.　　

Chu Qianxun pushed the door of the castle with a handful of things.　　

She gasped for breath, “Oh, the nearest towns here were so far away, I went back and forth.”

“Why is it so dark, why not turn on the light?”　　

“Haha, I bought a lot of food. I will cook for you tonight.”　　

“I also bought quilts and potions. Why don’t you even have quilts here? Isn’t it cold to sleep?”

The hall was still dim, but Ye Peitian’s heart seemed to be filled with light instantly brightening up with her words.
