The flower fairy escaped the mont Shen Minyao got distracted. Perhaps Yulan knew that she was no match against the fox demon and chose to retreat for her safety. Still, she had marked Gu Liuxian a long ti ago. Shen Minyao had no doubt that the flower fairy would return the mont she lost to her basal instinct once again.
Shen Minyao turned her sword back into its previous state as a harmless bracelet. She then turned around and strode towards Zhao Yichen. She then harshly pulled on his collar and gave him a good punch right on his face.
Zhao Yichen grunted when he fell to the ground.. Shen Minyao's punch was strong enough to knock him out as he felt dizzy from the impact.
"Have you lost your mind? Do you really want to die so badly that you would use your own scent to lure the demon towards you?" Shen Minyao glared at him, sothing Zhao Yichen had never seen before.
"You aren't allowed to die on yet, human. If you wanted to die so badly, then you better wait until I can sink my claws right at your chest. I'll give you a swift death if you like."
Zhao Yichen couldn't say a word. How could he placate a furious demon like her?
"I told you to go back to safety and stay hidden. What did you do? You dare to defy my words instead. Do you really think you are in the right place to question , human?" She continued to reprimand him.
"She seed nice…" He stuttered.
"You are a fool! You put the two of us in danger. I cannot protect you if you do not obey my words! You are to stay hidden and protected until I make sure it's safe for you to roam around. "
Shen Minyao stood over him, with her jaws set and her eyes sharp.
"This should never happen again. Do you understand, Zhao Yichen?"
"E-en. I wouldn't defy your orders again." Zhao Yichen felt so stupid. Shen Minyao had the right to scold him like this for his foolishness. He should know better not to trust a demon, and yet here he was, putting himself in danger.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think—"
"No, you did not." Shen Minyao cut him off, and with that, the fox demon turned around and walked away silently.
"Ah, she's really mad," Xiao Bai comnted, but he already anticipated that this would happen. Their mistress was a person who didn't like being told 'no', and Zhao Yichen had successfully pushed the wrong buttons consecutively.
Yu Yan remained silent. It had been a while since they saw their mistress getting mad like this, but Zhao Yichen must understand how dangerous other demons could be to him, especially when he was vulnerable to their attacks.
Zhao Yichen washed his face in the restroom before returning to the living room where he left Gu Liuxian. When he arrived, Shen Minyao and her things were nowhere to be found. Even Xiao Bai was missing.
"Miss Shen has excused herself and left, Fourth Master. She said that she would call you once she was free," Butler Lu inford Zhao Yichen before leaving him with Gu Liuxian.
Zhao Yichen nodded. He understood what Shen Minyao ant. She wouldn't see him for so ti until she cald down. Not that he blad her. What he did earlier was extrely foolish on his side.
"Did you have an argunt with Miss Shen? She ca back with a sour mood," Gu Liuxian asked.
"It's alright. Nothing we couldn't talk about later. It's my fault, anyway," Zhao Yichen said as he rubbed his temple. He couldn't even tell Gu Liuxian that the reason why he and Shen Minyao argued was that the flower fairy his friend got involved with years ago.
"Ah, you should make up with her as soon as possible. Don't drag the problem, or else you might regret it later," Gu Liuxian aningfully said.
"Did you say that to yourself after Yulan stopped showing up?" Zhao Yichen asked in return.
The older man shrugged.
"I guess I did. Ever since that day, I've always wondered if I have said sothing that disappointed her. Was I so full of myself that I didn't even notice that I hurt her? If only I was kinder—more understanding, perhaps she wouldn't disappear without a word. I just wished that she could at least tell where I went wrong and why she was suddenly gone from my life."
Now that Gu Liuxian ntioned it, it reminded Zhao Yichen of what he overheard when he arrived at the rooftop earlier. Didn't Shen Minyao say that Gu Liuxian betrayed Yulan? Didn't the fox woman say sothing between the lines… like why did the flower fairy believe in the words of a human?
Because Shen Minyao had gone so soon, he wasn't able to ask her about it. Maybe he could ask Yu Yan later once Gu Liuxian left. Certainly, the black cat knew what her mistress was talking about earlier.
"So did you think that you've done sothing that might hurt her?" He questioned his friend. Sothing must have happened that triggered Gu Liuxian's loss of the ability to see Yulan.
Zhao Yichen then pondered if sothing similar could happen to him in the future. Would there be a day that he wouldn't be able to see and hear Shen Minyao? He couldn't imagine such a thing could happen, considering that their lives were deeply intertwined with that of each other since their eting.
Gu Liuxian remained silent for a mont as if considering what to tell Zhao Yichen.
"When I realized that I might be smitten by a ghost or whatever she was, I couldn't help but get freaked out. I didn't want to believe it at first and started hanging out with my friends. We had gone on several blind dates with random girls. But whatever I did, my thoughts would always co back to her every night."
