Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

"Sister, a demon is coming! The target should be that fox demon," Xiaoqing whispered.

"Let's go." Xiaobai immediately headed out the door.

"Sister, its target isn't us, why are we getting involved?"

"What if Chen Nian gets hurt?" Xiao Bai asked instinctively.

"But if Chen Nian is truly the peerless hero you speak of, wouldn't it be a perfect opportunity to test his strength? If he wants to protect that fox demon, he'll definitely have to use his true abilities!" Qing'er hurriedly said.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiaobai immediately shook his head.

"But if not, an ordinary person's mortal body can't withstand any hardship, I can't let him take the risk."

"When have I ever seen you care about me so much...?"

Xiaoqing grumbled irritably, but had no choice but to follow suit.

.......

inside the house.

There is only one bed.

Yu'er slept on the inside, her arms wrapped around Chen Nian's arms, fast asleep.

Chen Nian also opened his eyes.

He could certainly sense that someone was approaching, and that aura... was that of a demon.

The visitor is not good.

He was getting ready to go out and greet him.

Unexpectedly, the two snake demons living next door were the first to make a move.

"That's strange. We weren't here for them, so why are they more anxious than I am?"

Chen Nian did not go out, but stayed inside to observe the situation.

.......

When the Qingbai sisters came out, they indeed saw a figure walking towards them not far away.

It was a man who looked like a woodcutter, holding a wood-chopping knife in his hand.

"Qing'er, use your magic to protect Chen Nian's house so that the noise outside won't startle him."

"Sister...you...."

Xiaoqing had no choice but to do as she was told.

A beam of green light shot out and enveloped the old house, so he couldn't hear any noise outside.

Xiao Bai stepped forward and confronted the woodcutter, her face frosty, and asked, "Wolf demon, what are you doing here?"

That's right, this woodcutter is a wolf demon in human form!

In such a close encounter, both sides could see through each other's identities.

"Don't you know there's a fox demon in that house?"

The woodcutter said, "I secretly observed for two days and found that the fox demon did not have any magic power, but it had transformed into human form. After consuming her demon core, I gained at least several hundred years of cultivation."

Xiao Bai stood in front, a jade-white longsword sliding out from her sleeve, its beauty breathtaking in the moonlight.

"Excuse me, please leave."

"Snake demon, you're not interested in that fox demon's core, but you won't even let us have a chance?"

"good."

"Then let's test your strength!"

The woodcutter, carrying his axe, rushed forward and brought it down on the woodcutter's head.

Xiao Bai also thrust forward with her sword, her movements agile, each sword move surrounded by white light, creating a beautiful sword dance.

Soon, the wolf demon was defeated, his mouth bleeding from a single blow, and he retreated repeatedly.

"Get out if you don't want to die."

"What an unreasonable snake demon! Remember this!" The woodcutter dared not linger any longer and immediately fled.

At this moment, Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward: "Sister, are you alright?"

"They shouldn't have been scared, right?" Xiaobai's first reaction was to ask about Chen Nian.

"No, no, don't worry, you can't hear a sound inside, really..."

"Alright, Qing'er, thank you for your help. Let's go back inside. Let's pretend nothing happened tonight."

.......

The next morning, Chen Nian went to the market to buy good meat and vegetables.

When I came back, I happened to see Xiaobai hanging clothes outside.

Her sleeves slipped down slightly, revealing a section of her fair, white arm. The sunlight gilded her delicate features with a golden outline, making her look as beautiful as a painting.

"Greetings, my lord~"

She greeted Chen Nian somewhat shyly.

"No need to be so polite, just call me by my name."

Chen Nian picked up the groceries he had bought: "I bought a lot of groceries today, Xiao Bai, why don't you and Xiao Qing come over to my house for a meal?"

"Okay...okay!"

Xiao Bai was flattered and a hint of joy appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"I'll call you when it's ready."

As soon as Chen Nian returned, Xiao Qing came out of the house: "Sister, let's go to the city to eat, I'm hungry."

"No need, Xiaoqing. Young Master Chen just invited us to his house for dinner."

"Oh? This stingy guy suddenly got it today. Good thing he knows what's good for him."

Of course, they didn't know that Chen Nian knew everything about what happened last night and wanted to express his gratitude.

After this experience, Chen Nian lowered his guard, and the relationship between the group finally became more familiar.

"How was it? My cooking skills are pretty good, right?" Chen Nian asked with a smile.

"My brother's cooking is always delicious~"

Yu'er was the first to raise her hand to answer, a white grain of rice still hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"good."

Xiao Bai smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Chen."

Only Xiaoqing put down her chopsticks with a look of disgust and spoke the truth: "It's so disgusting. It's really hard on you that you can eat it with such relish, sister."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Qing'er!" The fair-skinned girl blushed and hurriedly retorted.

"Hehehe, that's the truth."

"Go and wash the dishes for Young Master Chen."

"Alright, alright, what can I do? My little sister is just unlucky." Xiaoqing grumbled as she went to wash the dishes.

After spending a few days together, the two families often ate together and would chat together in the evenings. Yu'er was no longer so unfamiliar with the two sisters.

.......

The third day of the third lunar month is Qingming Festival.

rain.

"Old stock, old stock!"

"What's wrong, Xiao Qing?" Chen Nian asked as he saw Qing'er stride into his house with a carefree attitude.

"My older sister went to the pharmacy to get my medicine, but it suddenly started raining heavily. She didn't bring an umbrella, so please go and pick her up!"

Why didn't you go pick her up?

"Are you an idiot? She went to get my medicine. Of course I'm sick!" Xiaoqing said irritably.

"But you don't look sick..."

"Cough, cough!"

Xiaoqing coughed a few times as if to make a show of it. "Go on, I'll take care of Yu'er for you. Don't keep your sister waiting too long..."

"Alright."

Chen Nian agreed anyway.

He thought that perhaps he would finally find out the true purpose of these two snake demons approaching him.

So he took the oil-paper umbrella and went out in the rain.

West Lake, pedestrians hurry by.

Raindrops fell freely onto the lake's surface, creating countless ripples, while willow branches swayed uncertainly in the wind and rain.

Chen Nian, holding an umbrella, immediately spotted Xiao Bai, who was taking shelter from the rain in a lakeside pavilion.

Her temperament and appearance are so outstanding that it's impossible not to notice her.

Raindrops dripped from the eaves of the pavilion, forming beads.

There are only two people here.

"Young Master Chen, what brings you here..."

"Xiaoqing asked me to pick you up. Let's go, I brought an umbrella."

"etc!"

Suddenly, Xiao Bai called out to Chen Nian, mustering her courage, "Do you...do you remember saving a white snake a long time ago?"

"The White Snake?" Chen Nian pondered for a moment. "I don't recall ever hearing of such a thing."

"That day... there was a worm that was devouring everything, and no one could stop it. A white snake that was fleeing in a hurry was almost swallowed up, but suddenly a person appeared and saved it, destroying the strange worm."

"You really...don't remember?" Xiaobai asked cautiously, biting her lip.

"I really don't remember."

"Alright, it was all just a dream. Please forgive my rudeness, young master." Xiaobai looked disappointed.

Chen Nian was also curious as to why she would ask such a question.

She is a snake demon.

If we follow this logic, wouldn't it mean that she thinks I saved her before and wants to repay the favor?

But this is my first time in this world. Did she mistake me for someone else?

No... There can't possibly be another person in the world with the same temperament as me.

Does that mean I, like that senior brother who loves playing chess, also had a past life?

What a terrible fate! I haven't even finished repaying the debts of love in this life, and I still have debts of love from the past life to repay!

Before the fox demon could finish dealing with the situation, the snake demon came knocking.

However, Chen Nian couldn't bear to deceive Xiao Bai; she was just too innocent and kind-hearted.

If they don't actually remember, they won't admit it.

Be realistic and have a clear conscience.

When they got home, Xiaoqing saw that her sister looked distraught and hurriedly came over to ask her what was wrong.

"How is it, sister? Did you ask? What did he say?"

He said... he doesn't remember.

"I knew it! Sister, you must have mistaken him for someone else! Don't waste your energy on him anymore. How can a human's age compare to ours as demons? He might be dead already."

"Xiaoqing, you're right. Maybe Chen Nian is his reincarnation! Otherwise, why would they look so alike?"

"Sister, you're hopeless."

.......

at the same time.

In various monster strongholds outside Hangzhou, a message began to spread rapidly.

"Have you heard? There's a humanoid fox demon living in Hangzhou, but it doesn't have any magical powers!"

"Of course I've heard of it. It's said that as long as we eat her, even we can increase our cultivation level effortlessly!"

"But that fox demon seems to be protected by two powerful snake demons; not long ago, even the wolf demon that had transformed was injured..."

"It is said that all the demon kings are eyeing that fox demon covetously, preparing to capture it!"

"A transformed demon without any protection from any power is like a free snack; why not take it? Of course, it's in high demand."

"The Black Fiend Wolf King of Canglang Ridge has already set off, as has the Bloodrage Bear of Kuangfeng Mountain. It's also said that the transformed spider witch is heading towards Hangzhou..."

"With such a large mobilization, aren't they afraid of alarming that person... Even if all these demon kings attacked together, they still wouldn't be able to defeat Qin Xuan."

"I heard that these people have all spoken to Qin Xuan beforehand, and that they will only target fox demons and not harm humans."

"I wonder who will end up with that fox demon's core?"

.......

Below the waterfall.

Qin Xuan was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, cultivating.

Suddenly, several small black snakes swam up to him, flicking their tongues and speaking in human language.

They were reporting the news to Qin Xuan.

In recent days, he had been sending some spies to monitor the movements of Qingbai and her companion, and he was also aware that they had recently become quite familiar with a human man.

Especially Xiaobai... she was extremely kind to that human man, and even helped him fight off the invading monsters.

This made Qin Xuan extremely unhappy.

His feelings for Xiaobai were obvious, and he cared for her in every way, but he received no response for a long time.

But now, Xiaobai is preoccupied with a human man she hasn't known for long, which makes him jealous.

"My lord, all the demon kings are stirring up trouble. If the White Snake continues to protect that fox demon, she might end up fighting with these demon kings..."

"Then let them fight."

Qin Xuan sneered: "Go tell them they can punish Xiaobai and Xiaoqing slightly, but they mustn't go too far. Once they're injured, they'll understand who they should rely on."

"Yes, sir."

Qin Xuan had already made a plan in his mind.

When Qing and Bai get into a fight with those demon kings, they will be injured and unable to defeat them, so they will naturally come back for help.

And then I'd step in to save him, haha.....

On the other side, the major demon kings all received replies.

"My lord, news has arrived from Qin Xuan's side!"

"He told us not to harm any humans in Hangzhou, and that we could punish the Green and White Snakes slightly, but not severely."

"As for the fox demon and the human, do whatever you want with them."

"Very good. Tonight is a dark and windy night, perfect for fighting, killing, and eating foxes."

.......

A dark cloud descended upon Hangzhou.

Whoohoo!

The night wind rattled the windows.

"Why is the wind suddenly so strong..."

Xiaoqing was about to close the window when she suddenly smelled the eerie scent in the wind, and her eyes narrowed instantly.

"Sister, another powerful demon has arrived, this time a demon king, whose cultivation is no less than yours or mine!"

"Why do they dare to enter Hangzhou so openly? Aren't they afraid of Senior Brother?" Xiaobai asked subconsciously.

"Senior brother only protects the humans in Hangzhou, he didn't say he would protect a fox demon of unknown origin, sister... let's go, tonight won't be so easy to deal with." Xiaoqing advised earnestly.

Xiao Bai shook his head.

"Sister, he said he doesn't remember you, yet you're still thinking about protecting him?"

"Qing'er, even if he's not the one I'm looking for, the time we've spent together hasn't been in vain. We've eaten together, chatted and drank tea under the moon, gone fishing together—shouldn't he be our friend?"

"That's true, but tonight's visitor is unusual. He must have let that monster escape last time and gone back to warn us... I should have killed him!"

"Qing'er, I still want to do my best. Even if Chen Nian didn't have any other special identity, he's still a very good friend. What do you think?"

"Sister, you're just too kind! Okay, okay, what can I do? I'm the younger sister."

"Thank you, Qing'er!"

The two sisters came outside together.

A black mist was discovered to have enveloped the area.

"They used magic to isolate this area, so that no matter how intense the fighting is, people outside this area won't hear a sound."

"Qing'er, protect Chen Nian and the other two. Leave the rest to me."

Xiaoqing had no choice but to do as she was told, using magic to create a barrier to protect the old house.

Xiao Bai calmly walked forward.

Directly ahead, a cloud of black mist suddenly drifted in, forming a group of monsters, at least dozens at a glance.

Most of them were in the form of humanoid beasts, along with two fully transformed great demons, and the one in the very center... a muscular man with a scar on his face.

Canglang Ridge, home of the Black Wolf King.

"Little girl, let me give you another piece of advice: you'd better not be ungrateful!"

At the same time, two more bursts of black mist attacked from the left and right sides.

The Demon King of Gale Mountain – "Blood Rage Bear".

His human form was a burly man, about two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist.

On the other side was a woman dressed in red silk, with a bone hairpin in her hair, looking alluring.

The Blood Refining Cave Demon King – "Jade-Faced Spider".

"Little sister, if you don't want to die, you'd better get out of the way!"

"For Qin Xuan's sake, we won't kill you."

.......
