Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 134 Separation

This incident had a great impact on Qiu Pi. When he opened his eyes and saw Geng Miaowan again, he realized that his feelings for her remained the same, but he no longer had the feeling of wanting to keep her by his side.

Perhaps that was true, but he vaguely understood that some things cannot be forced. The thought that he could have her body even if he couldn't win her heart completely disappeared after his brush with death.

After this encounter, they seemed to have something more about him, something unrelated to love, but it genuinely brought them closer.

They were like friends who had known each other for many years, and they talked for a long time.

In the distance, a sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon, and the reddish sun seemed to be veiled by a piece of silvery-white silk, waiting for someone to unveil its mysterious veil.

"It's almost time," Xu Ruwen reminded her in her mind. She turned to look out the window, and Qiu Pi, seeing this, also glanced out the window without making a sound.

"Alright, we should go now." Geng Miaowan put everything he had given her into her storage ring, including the dull gray stone.

Qiu Pi nodded, but the simple "okay" seemed stuck in her throat, unable to come out. She smiled and said "goodbye" to him, then turned and walked out of the room.

"Wan'er!"

"Hmm?" Geng Miaowan turned around and saw him waving at her. Thinking that he still had something to say to her, she went back.

As soon as she stood by the bed, Qiu Pi, who had been lying on the bed looking extremely weak, suddenly sat up with a burst of strength, grabbed her arm, and pulled her towards him.

She was about to retaliate when a sharp pain shot through her collarbone. "Qiu Pi, you..."

"Are you an idiot? He told you to come over and you came right away." Qiu Pi's complaining voice echoed in her mind again. Geng Miaowan discovered that Luan Hao seemed to have the potential to become a resentful woman, and recently he was evolving in that direction.

She reached out to push him away, but he held her even tighter, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. Qiu Pi buried his head in the side of her neck and said in a muffled voice, "Geng Miaowan, will this way you never forget me again?"

After saying that, he released her hand as if he had made a huge decision. She looked down at the spot where he had bitten her last time. Two rows of deep teeth marks covered it, as vivid as blood. No, it was blood.

It would probably take some time for her to recover. It wasn't until later that she discovered that Qiu Pi had actually used magic when he bit her, and no matter what she did, she couldn't restore it to its original state, so the two rows of teeth marks stayed with her for a very long time.

Just as he had hoped, every time she saw those two rows of teeth marks, she was reminded of someone who had loved her to the death, unwavering and devoted. If we disregard the fact that the method was wrong.

She wiped away the dripping blood, glared at him with displeasure, and said, "Are you a dog?"

But all I got in return was a muttered, "I wish it were."

The two looked at each other, speechless.

After a long while, Qiu Pi spoke again, his voice slightly hoarse, "You can go now. I'm not feeling well, so I won't see you off."

Geng Miaowan thought to herself, "I wonder who had so much strength just now. Now I'm exhausted." She said "Goodbye" to him again and left the room.

This time, it's really goodbye.

Only when her figure disappeared from sight did Qiu Pi finally let out a long sigh of relief, revealing his tightly clenched hands. He had been so afraid that he would reach out and grab her again.

All good things must come to an end; those who are meant to leave will always leave. He knew he couldn't keep her, at least not now.

Qiu Pi secretly vowed in his heart that he would cultivate diligently so that he could become a man worthy of her as soon as possible. "Geng Miaowan, when that time comes, I will definitely find you, even if it's to the ends of the earth."

However, even after she left, he still didn't know what she did for a living. He had initially thought she wasn't an exorcist and was impersonating Shen Meiling to swindle money. But it turned out that she and the people she brought with them had indeed dealt with Qianmian Shang, and since she was a demon, he now genuinely had no idea what her profession was.

He thought that when they met again, he would definitely ask him for clarification. However, he didn't know that this parting would be forever for him.

As Geng Miaowan and her group passed through the courtyard, a tall figure was standing there waiting for her. Seeing her approach, he pulled her aside. She then realized that she had been so preoccupied with Qiu Pi's matter that she had completely forgotten about Peng Yuxian.

Logically and emotionally, she should say goodbye to him, so she followed his lead and went to the pond next to the courtyard.

"who are you?"

"Hey, I'm about to leave this world, why are you suddenly talking to me so coldly?" Geng Miaowan tried to dodge his question, but Peng Yuxian clearly wasn't buying it.

"who are you?"

"I am who I am, who else could I be?"

"Geng Miaowan, when I'm asking you a question, you should answer me properly. Who exactly are you?" He wasn't angry; in fact, his tone was even calmer than usual.

She had been feeling down these past few days because of Qiu Pi's matter, so he carefully avoided disturbing her and stayed with Xu Ruwen. From him, he gleaned some information, enough to tell him that she was no ordinary person.

"Does it matter who I am?" she looked at him and continued, "Even if you knew who I was, what could you do about it?"

Peng Yuxian paused, seemingly starting to think about the question, which made Geng Miaowan smile gently. "I've had a very pleasant time with you these past few days, and I owe you a lot for what happened this time." As she spoke, she winked at him and said playfully, "Actually, you're not an ordinary person either, are you?"

It wasn't a question, it was a certainty. If she wasn't mistaken, he must be an exorcist. But there was no time now to figure out why his behavior that day was so different from before.

Peng Yuxian was not a good talker to begin with, and after being bombarded with her words, he couldn't answer a single one.

Geng Miaowan patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Okay, I know what you want to ask, but that's really not important. What's important is that we once worked hard together for a common goal, and I will remember that experience forever." (To be continued.)
