Chapter 124

“You were originally a very gentle person, and you weren’t ever overwhelmed with maliciousness,” Chu Qianxun said.

Ye Peitian rubbed Chu Qianxun’s palm,

Qianxun, you may not know that it was you who gave me the warmth so that I had the heart to pass on this warmth to others.

The two returned to their station in Spring City,

The tube building was very lively. Many people went in and out, and the residents in the building were watching and discussing. When Chu Qianxun and Ye Peitian arrived at the door, they saw several men wearing Spring patrol armbands on their shoulders, carrying a huge corpse out of the interior with great effort. The corpse had dark skin with scales. It was obviously not human.

“What’s going on?” Chu Qianxun asked Gao Yan at the door.

“Advance failed, demonized,” Gao Yan shook her head,

“Is there no guardian?”

“The guardian is his wife. She couldn’t bear to kill him in time.”

Every time a saint went beyond the ranks, he would invite a close person to be his guardian. This person needed to protect himself from the external forces during his weak period. The most important thing was that if the advancement failed and he/she became a demon, the guardian must be responsible for cutting off his head in time to prevent the birth of a new demon in densely populated urban areas. It could also ensure that the advanced person could still die as a human while remaining human conscious.

The courtyard was a mess, and the simple kitchen was mostly collapsed. A woman sat paralyzed on the ground in the courtyard holding a strange head with a male face in her arms. She cried and laughed for a while, murmuring something people far away couldn’t hear.

Chu Qianxun and others walked up the stairs in silence.　

“Because of her momentary intolerance, the fifth-order demon suddenly appeared and took several lives,” Gao Yan sighed and complained. But in her heart, she remembered the kind of anxiety she faced when Chu Qianxun jumped up to the fifth order. It was the cruelest moment for the guardians who stayed around if their dearest friends were demonized.　　

After dinner, Ye Peitian sat on the window, and read a book under an oil lamp.　　

There was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, Chu Qianxun slipped into the room, and gave him a sweet smile with her hands on her back.

The weather at night was obviously very cold, but the house became warm because of her laughter. 

Ye Peitian felt that he was getting warmer.

She sat where he was sitting and flipped the book on the windowsill, which was Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

Ye Peitian had been busy making tea and serving snacks. In his room, he prepared tea and refreshments that Chu Qianxun used to drink in her hometown.

Chu Qianxun looked at the man in front of her. His legs were long, his waist was tight. He was happily busy because of her arrival, and his joy for her seemed to flow through the air.

Chu Qianxun couldn’t bear it. Her eyes fell on the cover of the novel. After a moment of consideration, she still took out the sixth-order crystal core that had been clutched in her pocket.

“Peitian, ​​I am ready to advance. I want you to be my guardian.”

Ye Peitian blinked, and the small teacup in his hand rolled over on the tray, and the hot tea sprinkled on his fingers without him realizing it.

Chu Qianxun picked up his hand and blew it. The powerful healing ability quickly healed the scald on his skin.

But the fear in his heart was hanging.

“Don’t be afraid,” Chu Qianxun reached out and gently took off his mask. 

She looked at his eyes, “We have to walk a long way together and guard each other. This situation is unavoidable. We have to face it sooner or later.”
