The atmosphere in the outskirts of Han City, precisely on the Han hillside, seemed so calm. The moon was shining brightly, illuminating a house on the hill there. The peach tree, which was tens of years old, seemed to stand tall, its petals fluttering very beautifully

. Under the light of the moon that is now shining brightly.

Chen Liao Xuan seemed to be kneeling in front of his room while watching the incredible scene. Watching how the petals of the peach tree fell was very real. His long black hair, which was now wholly flowing, seemed to move restlessly, his white robe seemed to move in rhythm with the origin of the gust of the night wind.

Chen Liao Xuan closed his eyes, his tears falling again perfectly. This is the second tear, which he shed as long as he lived. The first was when he saw the girl under the peach tree in full bloom. And the second now. Now he sings the strings of the lute in front of him. His voice seemed very musical, but it contained a severe condition. It even made anyone who heard it cry. Under the bright moonlight, along with the gentle chanting of the sound of the wind echoing the stillness of the night, Chen Liao Xuan played her lute very beautifully. The peach blossom petals looked very real. As if they were dancing beautifully accompanied by the musical sound of the harp. Without Chen, Liao Xuan knew, behind the peach tree was a figure watching his silently. Yes, she is Angier. The little girl was now looking at Chen Liao Xuan in his beautiful white robe playing the harp. His long hair occasionally moved restlessly when the wind blew. His handsome face that seemed attractive looked very sad. Peach flower petals seem to give their perfection so that Chen Liao Xuan's mood at that time was quite impressive.

Angier slowly picked up a white cloth, which she had already prepared for natural. Then, she started to draw the fantastic scene in front of her when a young man was sitting in front of his room, cross-legged very bravely—playing the strings of the harp so sweetly and beautifully. His gentle, handsome face seemed timeless, illuminated by the full moon that was being beautiful. Accompanied by the dancing of the petals of the flying peach blossoms, the figure was indeed like an immortal being that could never destroy forever.

Angier smiled bitterly again, her chest pounding so strangely. Her blood is flowing faster and warmer. Why did she feel this strange every time she looked at Chen Liao Xuan's figure. The beautiful man who is very charming, the man with a gentle face but sometimes seems so terrible. Behind all his movements that are so gentle but dashing, it appears that there is a mystery hidden. Even Angier, until this moment, still didn't know whether the figure was really human or even from another nation. Because Angier feels, there will not be a single human on this earth who has perfect looks. So when juxtaposed with the most handsome men on earth, his handsomeness is too conspicuous and very real.

Angier is now looking at her painting, and it seems so natural and beautiful. Then, she smiled again. Bring the image back into the room. Yes, it appeared that today was more than enough, regarding the many things she had experienced together with Chen Liao Xuan. She wanted to make more memories with her new friend before she decided to say goodbye and leave this place.

Chen Liao Xuan's eyes glanced at the departure of Liu Angier, who had quietly moved from her hiding place. For then, he seemed to smile faintly. Again, Chen Liao Xuan seemed to close his eyes tightly, and then he began to chant the strings of his lute. After this, he had to leave or become a human living with all the strange ordinances here. His kingdom needed him right now, and he couldn't possibly leave his throne vacant even though it's heavy, even though he's reluctant. But, what can he do? This he had to do to maintain his position as a Demon Lord in this realm. Or, if not, he will lose a lot of things and goods; he will also lose his trusted people just because of his stupidity for choosing to live as a human instead of returning to his nature.

Chen Liao Xuan tilted his face again, his eyes slowly opened. The blood-red cornea now seemed so natural, for then he glanced at a point that was at the end of his vision.

"Are you serious, Tao? It's already the middle of the night. How did you ask permission to leave even before dawn? You haven't gotten breakfast from our residence, and that's really a very unpleasant thing," Liu Ding Han tried to hold back. Chen Liao Xuan to leave. At least until she finished her breakfast later, then said goodbye to her daughter.

"Sorry, I really have to leave now before dawn comes," Chen Liao Xuan forced.

Liu Ding Han, who was currently sorting out some of the herbs, seemed to have stopped her activities. Then she looked at the white-robed figure genuine.

"Why?" asked Liu Ding Han. Chen Liao Xuan just looked at the middle-aged woman with a confused look. The gurgling sound of the flowing river now sounded very real. It made Chen Liao Xuan's brain go blank for a moment. "Is this because this is the reason you don't say goodbye to Liu Angier?" guessed Liu Ding Han was right on target.

Chen Liao Xuan's eyes widened in shock, and his face felt so hot right now. Then, his arm was hit by Liu Ding Han, causing him to retreat to dodge the blow again.

"I was also young, you know. There must be a burning passion," said Liu Ding Han, which confused Chen Liao Xuan.

"What do you want to say?" he asked then. Did Liu Ding Han know that her daughter had taken the crown? She had even cast a magic spell on the little girl. So that when she married her husband later, her husband would never know about this.

"You like my little girl, don't you?"

Chen Liao Xuan immediately coughed perfectly at Liu Ding Han's words. Then he quickly waved his hand.

"What are you saying, Mrs. Liu? Who likes whom? You know I'm not a creature that's not from your nation. How come I have to like an ugly little girl like that. Of course not at all, don't ever compare me with that ugly little girl again. He's not my type at all, believe me," Chen Liao Xuan explained.
