As Jun Yao listened to Su Xinhao recount the despicable things Ye Xiao had done in his youth, he accepted the black tea that Liang Jingu's apprentice had brewed and brought to him, and a strange sense of annoyance arose in his heart.

When Su Xinhao recounted Ye Xiao's past philandering, Jun Yao unconsciously thought of Zhou Yichuan.

Did Zhou Yichuan once deeply hurt the original owner in the same way?

Jun Yao held the red tea and carefully searched the original owner's memories.

They were trying to find evidence of Zhou Yichuan's treacherous behavior.

But the original owner was very useless.

I don't remember a single one.

Unbeknownst to Junyao, the nameless fire in her heart burned ever brighter and brighter.

Seeing that Jun Yao remained silent, Su Xinhao assumed that Jun Yao did not believe her side of the story, so she changed to a more serious tone and asked, "Do you believe in love?"

Jun Yao raised an eyebrow, momentarily at a loss for how to answer Su Xinhao.

love?

She has never experienced it.

But the original owner had made her experience heartache, bitterness, and possessiveness.

Is that what love tastes like?

Without waiting for Jun Yao's reply, Su Xinhao continued, "The human love I understand is actually just a packaged commodity."

"Because those of us who have lived a long time know that no love can stand the test of time."

"Ye Xiao is a smooth talker. Throughout our relationship, he kept finding ways to prove that he loves me."

"But in the early days, I felt that he just wanted to get attention and affirmation from me."

"After all, I used to think that being pretty meant you could do whatever you wanted. He's so ugly, he doesn't deserve me, why should I love him?"

"The more time went on, the more I realized that he was after more than just my beauty and my attention to him; there was something else involved."

Jun Yao called his little apprentice for another cup of hot tea, and at that moment, he untied Su Xinhao.

"Go on," Junyao encouraged.

Su Xinhao was somewhat surprised. She paused the conversation about Ye Xiao and stared at Jun Yao with a puzzled look.

"Why did you dare let go of me?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"

"Did Ye Xiao send you to capture me and bring me back to his side?"

"If I run away, you won't be able to complete your mission."

Jun Yao smiled faintly, "That's something I should worry about, not you. You just need to finish what you have to say. I'm looking forward to your conclusion. What other thoughts do you think Ye Xiao has about you?"

Su Xinhao felt a little embarrassed.

She only had a superficial understanding of human society.

Just live as you please.

Unexpectedly, Junyao actually enjoyed listening to her shallow opinions.

Su Xinhao stopped hiding her feelings and frankly said, "I haven't seen Ye Xiao for a long time, but judging from the time, he must be quite old by now, right?"

Is he suffering from a serious illness?

"These are all bad habits he developed when he was young and didn't know how to control himself."

"I used to think I didn't care. After all, a mortal's life is fleeting, and if he has affairs with other women, it won't affect my future."

"So, I treat him like a toy that can keep me company for a while, and we each get what we need from him."

"When he was sick, I extracted the essence of precious Chinese herbs to treat him, alleviate the pain caused by the disease, and prolong his health."

"But I don't want him to know my true form. Because human civilization is resistant to demons."

"I tried my best to hide it for a long time, but Ye Xiao is very smart, and he still noticed that something was wrong with me."

"Since then, there have been many more strange people around him. At first, there were shamans, and later a few sorceresses came... They were secretly testing my abilities. I think Ye Xiao paid them to do this."

"He must have discovered that I am ageless and wants to obtain the secret to immortality from me."

Su Xinhao sighed, "But how can I let him know the truth?"

"If a normal human like him knew I was a snake demon, who knows what he would do?"

"I've really read a lot of books and watched a lot of TV series!"

"Love cannot exist across racial lines!"

"I will only become a stepping stone on his path to immortality!"

Su Xinhao's voice echoed in the wooden cabin of the guesthouse for a long time.

She grew angrier and more fearful as she spoke.

The emotions Jun Yao sensed from her were completely different from those she sensed from Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's eyes seemed to be full of love; he felt that his life would be incomplete without Su Xinhao.

Su Xinhao, however, was exceptionally clear-headed. She believed in money, status, and fame, but absolutely did not believe in love.

"How interesting," Jun Yao murmured.

Su Xinhao was just about to ask her what was interesting.

Before he could even speak, he sensed a powerful force approaching menacingly from the front yard.

"What day is it today? Why are they all crowding around here?" Su Xinhao frowned at Jun Yao. "A group of people came from outside. Are they your backup, or is it someone else?"

Jun Yao wanted to call Liang Jingu's apprentice to check the situation, but the Zhou family bodyguards moved quickly and had already surrounded Su Xinhao's guesthouse.

Seeing that it was them, Junyao felt relieved.

Zhou Yichuan stormed into the guesthouse, radiating a deep chill. But the first thing he did upon entering was to put the creamy-white down jacket draped over his arm onto Jun Yao without a word.

"If you're afraid of the cold, why don't you go back right away?" Zhou Yichuan retorted coldly.

The blame and resentment in his tone were impossible to hide.

Jun Yao obediently put on the down jacket, but remained seated by the fireplace.

"We're already here; how can we go back without finishing our business?"

Jun Yao tugged at Zhou Yichuan's sleeve and introduced him, "This is Ms. Su Xinhao."

Zhou Yichuan looked at Su Xinhao in response to her words.

I glanced at it quickly, seemingly not very interested.

Junyao pulled his clothes even tighter. "What? You don't believe me?"

"If you say so, then it is."

Zhou Yichuan caught her cold little hand.

His brows furrowed even more when his warm, large hand touched her icy fingertips.

Why are your hands so cold?

He sat down beside her and took her hand in his palm.

At the same time, he grabbed a blanket from the side and wrapped Junyao up tightly.

Throughout the entire process, he kept a stern face and looked menacing.

Junyao stared at him with wide eyes, not understanding how something as small as feeling cold could become such a big crime.

Su Xinhao, who was standing next to her, suddenly clapped her hands and asked, "Isn't this what love is all about?"

Zhou Yichuan glanced at her sideways, as if questioning her intelligence.

Jun Yao tilted her head to examine Zhou Yichuan, repeatedly recalling Su Xinhao's words and questioning them over and over again:

Is this love?

Wasn't Zhou Yichuan's affection for her also based on exploitation?

People's hearts are hidden behind their bellies, and are the most difficult to fathom.

Otherwise, why would Zhou Yichuan dislike the original owner in the past, but now treat her with such care and consideration?

It's because she demonstrated and proved her worth.

No one is loved for no reason.
