Volume 9 – Chapter 169: Mortal World (Part 1)

The butterfly demon beast, Luo Pianju, dipped her finger into the jar full of osmanthus honey and performed a small hook. Then, she put the finger covered with the golden yellow sweet liquid into her mouth and sucked it carefully, revealing a satisfied expression.

She thought the taste of osmanthus honey was a bit special, and it made her feel warm.

This reminded her of the old couple’s smile when she was in the steamed bun store. Perhaps this taste was called bliss? She suddenly felt a little reluctant to finish the jar of osmanthus honey at once.

Emm~.

But the little butterfly demon still dipped her finger four times into the jar and slurped the honey. Then, she warned herself to take one final slurp. When it was almost the eighty bite, she reluctantly closed the jar’s lid. She began to lick the remaining sweetness on her fingers before breathing out satisfyingly.

After calming down, Luo Pianju thought of Su Zijun. She recalled that she accompanied Zijun to repair the seal of the underground spiritual vein. After Zijun gave her something to eat, she seemed to fall asleep.

Luo Pianshu looked back at the cocoon that she had just crawled out of and blinked her eyes. She remembered that when she first evolved, she also formed a similar cocoon. But according to her memories, she should only turn into a cocoon once in her life.

Not only that, the demon beast power within her seemed to be much stronger.

Little butterfly demon, who didn’t understand what had happened to her, immediately thought of Su Zijun. She planned to approach her and ask about the situation.

But when she stood up, she realized that her body felt chilly. It turned out that she was naked at the moment. After all, the demon beast race was born to live in nature with their own body.

It was just that she had been in human society for some time. Hence, she had learned some of the human world’s courtesy, justice, and shame concepts, knowing that it was inappropriate to appear in front of people in nude. It was more so, especially if she exposed herself to the opposite sex like that.

Luo Pianju subconsciously recalled the memories when she had completed the first evolution of her life. She broke out from the cocoon and opened her eyes. After she saw Luo Qiu, the boss, her heart thumped.

Oops! I shouldn’t go out casually like this!

Luo Pianshu covered her face, and she realized it was a little warm. But this subconscious action made the honey jar that she had held in her hand suddenly dropped to the ground.

Luo Pian was startled. She then quickly reached out to catch it. She caught the honey jar in the end even though she was kneeling on the ground at the moment with her buttocks cocked up high and in an indescribable posture!

However, at least she caught the jar when it was about to touch the ground!

Otherwise, it would be too sinful to let this osmanthus honey filled with blissful taste spread all over the place! In this case, Luo Pianju felt that even her deceased mother would not forgive her.

“Hu, lucky!”

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest a little. At this moment, Luo Pianju realized that something seemed wrong!

She looked down at her body, blinked her eyes, and then subconsciously lifted her hands toward her chest.

A heavy feeling spread out in her palm. Luo Pianshu subconsciously supported it.

“En! Why has this place become so big?”

It was even more inappropriate for the butterfly demon to leave this place now!

Luo Pianju felt that she had encountered a huge problem and couldn’t help but frown. At this moment, a gift box that initially contained osmanthus honey suddenly spread out and then quietly turned into a light cluster.

While there was no wind, the light cluster slowly attached to the body of the little butterfly demon, gradually taking shape, and finally turned into a pink dress.

The colorful ribbon that initially wrapped the box gradually became larger. It finally wrapped around Luo Pianju’s waist, turning it into a belt, tightening the slightly loose skirt.

Luo Pianshu opened her mouth slightly. She hadn’t thought that the box had such a function. She picked up her skirt and slid it briskly. The lotus leaf-like skirt spread out as she danced in a rotation. The snow-white calf was also quietly exposed.

“Sister Zijun is so thoughtful!” Luo Pian smiled briskly. With this, she could go back to the hospital safely without fear of letting humans see her body.

The little butterfly demon naturally remembered the path to leave the cave.

As she emerged from the water, the sky had already gone dark. It turned out that it was nighttime. She went back to the hospital anxiously and spread her butterfly wings.

One pair, two pairs…three pairs.

To Luo Pian’s surprise, her butterfly wings had now completely changed their appearance. They were as thin as cicada wings and exuded gold and silver glimmers. The wings softly spread out one by one. When she opened these three pairs of wings, her body went out of control and soared to the sky in an instant.

Her speed was far beyond her past self. In the blink of an eye, she rose to an incredible height—above the clouds!

The temperature here was much higher than that of the underground. Luo Pianju felt a bit of chill, but her body stopped steadily above the clouds at this time.

Above her, the moon exuded a bright white light. As she stayed high above the clouds, she stared at the stars in the night sky like the last surviving elf.

She didn’t know why she came to this troubled world.

However, a vast black shadow suddenly came from the distance, as well as a loud noise, which made the slightly distracted little butterfly demon wake up in an instant. In front of her was the great masterpiece of the human world, an airplane!

The huge passenger plane followed the designated route at this time. Unfortunately, the plane didn’t seem to realize an innocent elf was in the night sky, and it slammed into it mercilessly.

Luo Pian was shocked. She dived down from the sky. The plane flew over her head quickly. The loud sound made her ears a little bit ache, and the airflow blew her into the distance simultaneously. She still hadn’t grown familiar with the newly developed wings.

Luo Pianjue was so frightened that her face paled. She felt that the deceased tree demon beast grandpa was right. The mortal human world was too dangerous.

She took a deep breath and held the honey jar with both hands. Then, she broke through the clouds again and fell towards the city below.

She went back to the mortal world again.

…

“Just now, did a stream of light pass by?”

In the business class of the passenger plane, a businessman-looking fellow asked his companion. But the companion didn’t notice it. Could I have been mistaken?

At this time, the flight attendant opened the curtain and walked into the business class section. She notified each passenger, “Hello, sir, the current indoor temperature is 23 degrees. The remaining flying duration is 2 hours and 35 minutes.”

“Give me some water.”

In the last row of business class, on the seat near the window, Wang Yuechuan at the window seat did not look back. He responded to the flight attendant through a simple request.

After the flight attendant brought the clear water, he raised the collar, lowered his head, and closed his eyes. His journey forward remained unknown.

…

The snowfall for Christmas didn’t last long.

The snow quickly turned into small puddles in the city and soon disappeared without leaving any traces. Everything happened like a dream.

People would never forget that this Christmas Eve in the South.

Before midnight, Li Zi separated from Ren Ziling in front of the plaza. She trotted ahead alone, then turned around at the corner of the road. She raised her arm and waved and finally disappeared in the corner.

Ren Ziling looked at Luo Qiu at this time and lamented. Every time she watched Li Zi disappear at the corner of the road, she felt concerned, as if Li Zi would disappear and never be seen again.

She felt Li Zi was lonely. Li Zi came to this city alone, without even a family member accompanying her.

“Perhaps she already has one,” commented Luo Qiu casually.

Whether it was the accessory Luo Qiu had on his hand, the gift to You Ye, or Ren Ziling’s necklace, the crystals embedded in them were actual tears.

The ice’s tears.

It was not easy for the indifferent ice to shed tears. Once it did, it must have been a heartache.

Ren Ziling lowered her head to play with the necklace around her neck. She liked this necklace. After Li Zi gifted it, she immediately put it on, “Hmm.”
