CH 85

TL: Moonlit

The note was tightly clenched by Yin Shao.

Even though he had already made up his mind to leave.

But at this moment, seeing this note, an indescribable sense of panic flooded Yin Shao’s heart.

He squeezed the note tightly, so tight that the sweat from his hand soaked the paper.

The paper was thin to begin with, and now it was crumpled into a ball.

Yin Shao knew that the best thing he could do now was to throw away the note and pretend he hadn’t seen anything.

It wasn’t long before he would leave…

At this moment, he should keep his distance from Bai Yu.

But he kept holding the note in the palm of his hand, unable to bear throwing it away.

It was just an ordinary piece of paper.

But it felt so hot in his hand.

As if it wasn’t a piece of paper he was holding, but a priceless treasure.

Yin Shao’s eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

Finally, as if resigned, he quietly placed the note in his money pouch.

He couldn’t discard it, nor could he.

Forget it…

Consider it a keepsake.

However, he knew that Bai Yu’s wish would probably never come true…

Just as Bai Yu had said.

If he saw this note, it wouldn’t come true.

Yin Shao’s life had been planned since birth…

Becoming a demon hunter had always been his dream from childhood to adulthood.

But Bai Yu was never a part of his plans.

His appearance could only be described as an unexpected surprise.

But an unexpected surprise was still just that—an unexpected surprise.

It couldn’t replace the life and beliefs he had before.

And Yin Shao knew clearly what he truly wanted…

He couldn’t stay here with Bai Yu.

Let alone for a lifetime?

Yin Shao calmed his mind, pretending that nothing had happened.

Pretending that he had never seen that note.

He desperately told himself that he couldn’t waver this time…

—

Bai Yu stood quietly by the riverbank, his eyes fixed on the lotus lantern drifting in the wind.

A pair of dark red eyes sparkled in the midst of the countless lights.

A faint smile appeared, revealing his adorable little dimple.

Only when the small lotus lantern drifted far away with the wind…

Bai Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Yin Shao, who was still standing in the reeds.

Bai Yu smiled and waved at him, a sweet smile on his face.

“Yin Shao!”

He looked charming and cute, like a young master who had secretly sneaked out.

Yin Shao stood there in the reeds, gazing at him.

He furrowed his brow deeply.

The decision he had made in his heart just moments ago seemed to blur the moment he saw this person.

Bai Yu was already naturally good-looking, and now, illuminated by the soft yellow light, his fair skin became even more radiant.

The young man’s long and thick eyelashes blinked as he looked at Yin Shao, reflecting the scattered lights in his pupils.

Bai Yu was unbelievably attractive at this moment…

Yin Shao stared at him, dumbfounded.

For a moment, it felt as if there was only this person in the entire world.

Even though the place was crowded with people, he could only see him.

Unconsciously, Yin Shao took a step forward.

But just at that moment, Bai Yu accidentally bumped into a young man in a blue robe next to him.

Bai Yu quickly apologized to the person.

“I’m sorry, it was unintentional.”

“It’s okay.”

When the young man looked at Bai Yu, he was clearly captivated. Even his eyes seemed to emit a gleam of light as he looked at him.

“May I know the name of this young sir? I am Chu He. Would you like to join me on a boat ride later?”

Although Bai Yu was interested in the boat ride, he had no interest in anyone other than Yin Shao.

Bai Yu shook his head.

Before he could refuse, an unusually forceful voice sounded from behind him.

“I’m sorry, he won’t have time later. He has something important to do.”

Yin Shao appeared behind Bai Yu, seemingly out of nowhere.

He forcefully pulled Bai Yu into his embrace.

Bai Yu had a beautiful appearance that could attract a lot of attention wherever he went.

Today, when Yin Shao brought Bai Yu to the marketplace, countless people had approached him.

Both men and women…

These people annoyed Yin Shao to no end.

The person named Chu He in front of him seemed to be the same.

Without waiting for a response, Yin Shao glared at him fiercely and then directly pulled Bai Yu’s hand to leave.

Yin Shao walked extremely fast, as if he was afraid that the person he held in his hand would be taken away by someone else.

His mind was in chaos.

He had no idea what would happen to Bai Yu once he left.

He was so beautiful, and there were so many people who liked him.

Perhaps he would quickly find another partner…

Would he also call that person “husband”?

Yin Shao felt increasingly uneasy in his heart.

Although he had decided to leave, his heart felt sour.

“Yin Shao, slow down…”

Yin Shao’s speed was too fast, and Bai Yu couldn’t keep up.

Yin Shao furrowed his brow, somewhat helpless, and said,

“Aren’t you a rabbit demon? Why do you complain about me walking fast?”

“I can run fast, but that’s running… If we walk, my legs are not as long as yours…” Bai Yu pouted and muttered, “Look… my legs are really not as long as yours. Besides, I’m not as tall as you…”

Bai Yu put his leg next to Yin Shao’s leg and gestured with his hand.

“You see… they’re really not as long as yours. And I’m not as tall as you…”

Bai Yu placed his hand on his head and compared his height to Yin Shao’s.

He had to tiptoe to make their heights roughly equal.

His lips almost touched Yin Shao’s, but Bai Yu didn’t notice and continued to compare their height.

His warm breath suddenly sprayed onto Yin Shao’s face without warning.

Yin Shao stared at the person in front of him, feeling his heart pounding incessantly.

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yu felt Yin Shao abruptly pull him into his embrace…

He held him tightly!

“Yin Shao, what’s wrong with you?”

Bai Yu asked, puzzled.

His mouth was covered again.

Yin Shao passionately sucked on his lips, kissing him desperately. His whole being was filled with longing.

Why did he not want to let go of the person in front of him, even though he knew he was a demon?

After a while, Yin Shao finally said, “Let’s go home, alright?”

This home referred to the small house Bai Yu had built on the mountain. They had spent their time there these days.

Bai Yu obediently nodded, “Of course.”

—

Once they reached the house, Yin Shao immediately closed the door and carried Bai Yu onto the bed.

Their clothes were scattered all over the floor.

Bai Yu’s clothes were almost torn off by him.

Bai Yu didn’t know what had gotten into this person; he was unusually passionate.

In the past, whenever they were together, Bai Yu had always taken the initiative.

But now, Yin Shao took the lead.

Yin Shao eagerly held Bai Yu and joined their bodies together.

Sounds of heavy breathing filled the room.

The room was filled with various ambiguous sounds for a while.

Bai Yu’s eyes were filled with unprecedented confusion, and his body felt so comfortable that it almost melted…

“Bai Yu, call me husband.”

Yin Shao suddenly wanted to hear these two words. It was as if as long as he heard these two words, Bai Yu would belong to him.

“Husband…”

As Bai Yu spoke those words, Yin Shao’s heart started beating rapidly. He became even more excited.

My mind can’t think about much anymore.

I just want to possess the person beneath me completely!

“Call me again…”

“Husband…”

…

Bai Yu collapsed on the bed.

He felt like he was about to die.

He knew better than anyone how powerful the antagonist was.

But never before had he experienced anything like this.

It was as if the antagonist would stop at nothing until he was driven to death.

“I can’t take it anymore…”

Bai Yu felt like he was about to pass out.

He was panting heavily, and even his speech was breathless.

Yin Shao covered him, his eyes fixed on the person before him.

Due to the influence of desire, a blush appeared on Bai Yu’s fair cheeks. His eyes were misty and blurred.

His brown hair scattered on the bed, and there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, indicating the intensity of what had just occurred.

Bai Yu was unbelievably beautiful in this state.

Yin Shao looked at him and kissed him again.

He knew he had to leave…

They would never meet again.

So he was even more passionate.

—

The next day was mostly spent in bed as well.

Bai Yu thought he would die in bed.

But the favorability rating increased rapidly, reaching 85%.

Bai Yu looked at this high favorability rating and felt confident.

When the favorability reached 80%, it meant falling in love.

At 85%, he should have completed the mission beyond expectations, right?

Bai Yu closed his eyes, feeling exhausted.

Although he couldn’t raise the favorability to 100% in this month, it was already very high.

With so much favorability, he believed he could keep Yin Shao.

The remaining 15% would surely be achieved in the coming days.

Bai Yu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

He was eventually awakened by the scent of candied haws.

The sweet and fragrant smell made Bai Yu’s stomach growl.

He abruptly opened his eyes and saw Yin Shao standing in front of him with three skewers of candied haws.

His eyes were full of delight.

He quickly reached out and took the skewers of candied haws.

“Did you buy these?”

“Yes, I made sure to fulfill my promise to you.”

Bai Yu felt extremely happy in his heart.

He looked at the candied haws in his hand and took a bite. The taste was indeed sour and sweet.

It was so delicious that it felt like his soul would fly out of his body.

“Yin Shao, you’re so kind.”

A smile that was hard to describe appeared on Bai Yu’s face. He lowered his head and ate the candied haws, not noticing the solemn expression on Yin Shao’s face.

“Bai Yu, I have something to tell you…”

“Go ahead.”

Yin Shao squeezed his fingers and slightly opened his mouth, but no words came out.

His expression was filled with conflict.

“Yes?”

Bai Yu looked at him curiously.

Then he heard his voice, cold and piercing.

“Bai Yu, our agreed time has come. I have been here with you for a month. I hope you can fulfill your promise and give me the crimson fruit.”
