"Grandpa Peach Tree said this is pollen from the Bitter Love Tree. If you take the pollen to the Bitter Love Tree, it can help monsters and humans rekindle their past romance!"

"However, I can't stray too far from the peach tree; I can't find the Bitter Love Tree," the peach blossom spirit sighed. "Do you want one?"

“I can make a trade with you, for example, by giving you a few more years of cultivation,” Zhang Chen said.

"I don't want cultivation!" the Peach Blossom Fairy exclaimed.

"Then what do you want?"

"I've heard that the Bitter Love Tree can control reincarnation!" the Peach Blossom Fairy said, stroking her chin. "It's a super-powerful demon of the time system! It can even travel through time!"

"If you can find the Bitter Love Tree, go back a hundred years and help me deliver a few words to Brother Gu Jun!"

The peach blossom fairy threw pollen at Zhang Chen, climbed back up the tree, and turned her back to Zhang Chen as if in a huff.

"What did you say?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Hmm... just tell him that his hide-and-seek skills are terrible! He wouldn't be able to find me even in a hundred years!"

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"And... tell him that I've actually been hiding in the tree waiting for him all along!"

"Hmm, is there anything else?"

"..."

"Ask him for me," the Peach Blossom Fairy's voice suddenly softened, "If you get hit by a bullet, will it hurt a lot?"

Zhang Chen was stunned. It turned out that this peach blossom demon actually knew whose grave was under the tree.

She had long known that the person she was waiting for had already died on the battlefield.

"Right, you have to be a little fierce when you ask him! I'm not just concerned about him, he made me wait so long, I almost fell asleep!"

"Hmph, that's fine then, there's nothing more to say!" The peach blossom fairy waved her hand at him.

"Okay, if I find the Bitter Love Tree, I'll help you." Zhang Chen subconsciously clasped his hands in a fist salute, a gesture he himself didn't even realize he was making.

"Also, did a girl with a high ponytail come by just now?"

"Yes, she told me that the Bitter Love Tree can travel through time."

"Where did she go?"

"She went to see the bitterness tree, saying she wanted to go back in time and beat up a scumbag."

Thanks.

A moment later, he turned to leave, but after taking only a few steps, he was stopped again by the peach blossom fairy.

The flower fairy, who looked like a little girl, was carefully wiping the martyr's tombstone with her delicate petals.

"Tell him one last time... Yao Yao misses him so much, she's waiting for him to come and play hide-and-seek." She said, her voice a mix of tears and resentment.

"Okay," Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.

He walked a little faster this time because he didn't like hearing children cry.

Unwittingly, Shen Nianxi learned some of the secrets of the Bitter Love Tree. She really knows a lot.

Why is it that everyone wants to revive the Bitter Love Tree?

Resurrection is probably impossible; the corpse of the Bitter Love Tree should be rotting by now.

But you can plant another one at home.

He has soil and pollen... well, seeds, water, and fertilizer, but not yet; those will probably have to be obtained from monsters.

As he walked and pondered these thoughts, Zhang Chen returned to the matchmaking agency at dusk.

Today was another uneventful day; I only attended one class.

They also brought a person along, and incidentally, a bird.

Damn it, what am I doing?

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Just as he reached the doorway, he saw the eldest rat gesturing at him in terror.

"Boss! There's a little girl who can change size!"

"?" Zhang Chen didn't understand. "What the hell?"

"Squeak!" The eldest rat was unusually frightened. "A snake! A huge snake! It eats rats!"

"A snake demon? Just don't mess with it. Besides, you're so fat, even if a snake demon eats you, it won't be able to digest you properly. What are you afraid of?"

"Zhang Chen~" Tu Shan Han Su called out softly from the second floor, "I'm too tired today and don't want to cook. Come over here for a moment, I'm a little hungry."

"Here I am." Zhang Chen went upstairs, but as soon as he got upstairs, he sensed that something was wrong.

The TV usually shows "The Legend of Zhen Huan," but today it's "Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother."

"I'm hungry, feed me something." Miss Fox lay on the sofa, breathing rapidly.

"What to eat?"

"I said I'm hungry, didn't you understand?" Tu Shan Han Su rolled over, little hearts appearing in her eyes, her cherry-red lips opening as wide as she could...

Zhang Chen seemed to be controlled by something and was directly sucked in.

"Ah~"

"..."

Meal picked up.

lied to you.

Zhang Chen wanted to say that this afternoon, when he was being affectionate with Lin Yinmeng, the silly bird seemed to have put something in its mouth and applied it to prevent Li Yinuo from grinding her teeth on him...

"Ugh... spit... Zhang Chen! You're trying to poison me? You're smearing chocolate on me?!"

"It wasn't me, I don't know either... Don't you eat chocolate?"

"I am a fox!"

Oh, I forgot, foxes are also canines.

Dear godfathers, please read my thoughts on the product launch!

Cats will be available tomorrow, Friday at midnight!

I'll try to update more often~ It will definitely be more than usual~

Let's start with 800 subscriptions~ Every 100 more subscriptions will get an extra chapter~ And if we reach 2000 monthly votes this month, we'll get an extra chapter too~

Then, as usual, Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) resorted to the same old tactics of playing the victim... no, I should say promoting our book~

We've already been incredibly generous with the free period—210,000 words are free!

The results were much better than I expected. Although they weren't many, it was the book I, a complete failure, had ever read the most.

Maybe we were just lucky~ After all, Qidian hasn't had any modern urban Chinese monster novels for a very long time. Thank you all for your support~

The original intention behind writing this book... I think all the godfathers can see some resemblance to the monster list and fox spirit matchmaker.

Both of these are amazing works, it's a pity that the story of "The Demon List" didn't have a sequel, and "Fox Spirit Matchmaker" isn't really a multi-female lead story either, haha. It's such a shame that so many beautiful demons weren't given a warm home...

I looked at other monster novels on Qidian, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find a single monster novel with multiple female protagonists at its core.

So I decided to write one myself, to try and make up for this regret.

The core of this book...I touched upon it briefly in Chapter Sixty-Nine:

Sex and love (don't read them together, meow)

Sex and love that transcend time and race.

During the writing process, I kept thinking about what this book was going to be about. Was it about the protagonist showing off with monsters in the city?

No, I can't write well. Everyone can see that the urban plot points I set up are all terrible. My attempt failed.

What else can I write about? Write about the lives of monsters in modern society, or some philosophical insights?

Generally, I wrote the same things in the book, but it didn't have a very good effect (I was criticized for being too preachy, sob... I'm still a college student, I don't understand any grand principles, I just wanted to share some things that I personally think are very philosophical~ I'm sorry if it didn't feel right, sob).

Finally, when I wrote about snow falling in June, I suddenly understood what this book was really about.

It's about sex and love, spirit and flesh.

Compared to the mere decades that humans experience, monsters are far more extreme in matters of sex and love.

What will they become when this loneliness and resentment accumulated endlessly over thousands of years?

Even the purest love can become repressive.

Hakimi's mentor-student relationship with Zhang Chen has soured, the little bird's once innocent affection has also changed, and the dog's gratitude for raising Zhang Chen has also changed...

Miss Fox's aloofness is a shackle she put on herself; she was devoted in the past, but could not get a happy ending.

This repression wasn't a morbid lust, but a cautious kind of love. They had waited too long, and even though they wished they could meld Zhang Chen into their bodies, they were afraid he would break.

Zhang Chen has lived for two thousand years, so he's not a block of wood; he knows what he's missed.

So, can you guess why he suddenly disappeared for three hundred years? What does the Bitter Love Tree signify? Why did the human world want to erase all traces of him?

I don't know if everyone can get used to my writing style. I really like to add a touch of warmth and elegance to humor and risquéness.

This is probably my most distinctive writing style.

Spirit and flesh are definitely inseparable.

For monsters, they don't understand many sweet words; they only know how to express affection with their bodies, so they need to constantly demand savage unions.

But behind this frantic repression lies a tragic story, a beautiful wish—that's the core.

Well, that's about it. I'll gradually reveal Zhang Chen and their past stories to everyone, continuously fleshing out this world where humans and transvestites coexist. I also hope you'll share your thoughts in the comments section!

Because I'm a student, I can't understand what the teacher is saying in class, so I can only play on my phone. Therefore, I surf the internet intensively and see almost every comment, replying to them intensively!

Students don't have that much pressure in their lives, so I can guarantee it won't be a bad ending or abandoned!
