Long Yao's university life was very smooth. He kept a low profile to the extreme. All his attention was placed on Gou Liang. He basically didn't pay attention to other clansmen or humans. As a result, Gou Liang's work this time was unprecedentedly smooth.
The only thing that made Long Yao dissatisfied was that the new students of Bewitching University had to study for a full month before they could apply for the exam.
Just like this, a few days passed. Long Yi who was secretly hiding at one side and observing whether this terrifying human had any bad intentions towards his master or not was sure that he was thinking too much. It was not that he thought that Gou Liang's care for Long Yao contained a lot of doting, rather, Long Yao was too docile, even to the extent of being well-behaved.
It was as if his master who was like a little tyrannosaurus for 100 years was just an illusion.
Hearing his daily report, Demon King didn't dare to believe it. After personally seeing it, he sighed with gratification, "I said that my son's self-control is far better than mine. Now that his pure-blooded demonic power is sealed, he has cut off the root of the disaster. His life is smooth."
Long Yi opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't remind Demon King of his little master's actions when he had just arrived in the human race. He merely said with worry, "Little master can't stay in the human race for a long time."
Moreover, that little human who was able to calm his master down only had a few dozen years of lifespan.
Thinking about this, Demon King was also worried, but at present, he could only muddle through.
Long Yao was completely unaware of their sadness. He was currently lying on the sofa with his legs crossed and was watching Gou Liang giving him an approval for his homework.
On the TV, Gou Liang was used to listening to the news of the city. Suddenly, Gou Liang heard a news and raised his head to look. In the news, Movie Emperor Huang was in the middle of a press conference to clarify his relationship with an actress. Moreover, he was apologizing to his fans for causing trouble to the actress.
"What's so good about him? An 800 years old weasel, he can't have any good intentions."
Long Yao retracted her long legs and slid down the sofa. She sat beside Gou Liang and pulled him into her embrace. Her tone was nonchalant, but her eyes were cold as she looked at the glorious Movie King Huang.
He knew that this person was Gou Liang's first customer, and also the one who had worked with him the longest. After he got his residence permit, he had pestered Gou Liang for more than half a year.
Gou Liang said in surprise, "You can still see his cultivation base like this?"
Only then did Long Yao reveal a trace of a smile. She snorted softly and said, "The stench on his body disgusts me even through the screen."
"Nonsense."
Gou Liang lectured him, but his expression did not match the professional indulgence of a guardian at all.
Long Yao: "The longer a demon lives, the worse the smell of its spiritual energy. Don't you know that?"
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of this …"
Gou Liang chatted with him, and the topic quickly turned to the mistakes that Gou Liang had made in his homework. He patiently explained to Long Yao, even though the two of them knew that he had done it on purpose.
The next day was the weekly meeting of the law firm. Gou Liang dropped Long Yao off at Gou Liang University and drove to the law firm.
He arrived a bit late, and the meeting room was already filled with people.
Seeing him, his colleagues all stopped talking and turned to Gou Liang to ask about his mysterious guest. Most of this was not out of their own curiosity, but the request of the customer they were serving. Those A-level demons did not have the honor of meeting Long Yao, even on the other side of the barrier. The demons in the school who recognized Long Yao and were respectful and attentive to him were already unreachable existences to them. That was why they were so concerned about Long Yao's identity.
Gou Liang still gave the same excuse to Xiao Qiu. He only said that the director's friend had asked him to take care of Long Yao, and that he did not know the other party's identity.
Of course, his colleagues were not so easily fooled, but before they could ask again, the director strode into the meeting room and coughed heavily. "Everyone, return to your seats. Don't ask blindly. Every one of you is treating the company's rules as a joke. You only know how to bully Xiao Do's good temper, right? "
Everyone awkwardly dispersed. Gou Liang laughed at the words that drew hatred. He smoothed things over and said, "I haven't seen everyone in a while. The director is jealous just because he cares about me."
The atmosphere was not so stiff. They all changed the topic and asked about Gou Liang's work-related injury and the dangerous situation at the time.
The risks of being a guardian of demons were not small, but because they were carefully protected, the rate of work-related injuries was very low. A major life and death accident like the one Gou Liang encountered had not happened for many years. They had heard the whole story, and could not help but say that demons were vengeful and deserved to die.
The director let them chat. When it was time for the meeting, he entered the main topic.
The meeting today was no different from the previous ones. The director reiterated some of the regulations that had been updated not long ago, and the others brought up any problems they encountered in the business to discuss and brainstorm.
The morning passed just like that.
At noon, the meeting was dismissed. According to the management, it was a company dinner. Everyone was happy to join in on the fun of eating public funds. However, before Gou Liang stepped out of the office, he received a call from the school saying that Long Yao had a small accident and asked him to go over as soon as possible to deal with it.
It turned out that the school had organized a social practice for the freshmen today.
Because they did not dare to be careless about the freshmen's self-control, the first social practice was arranged at a university near Goblin University. They were all young people, so even if they were accidentally eaten by a little demon, it would not be easy to get into an accident.
Coincidentally, a film crew was shooting in the school, and among them was Huang Yingdi, who had been the focus of attention for the past few years.
Long Yao was asked to go with the crowd. As soon as she got close, she heard someone exaggeratedly praise Huang Yingdi's perfect looks for an eighteen year old teenager. She casually said sarcastically, "Without makeup, it's not out of place for him to shoot an eighty year old ugly monster."
From yesterday's apology headlines, one could see the lethality of Huang Yingdi's fans. Of course, the girls who heard this were not happy. Even Long Yao's good looks could not calm her anger. She immediately retorted.
The commotion was a bit big, so the crew had to intervene and ask them to keep quiet.
At this time, Huang Yingdi, who had just finished filming, noticed Long Yao. He did not recognize Long Yao's identity, but he could never forget the Gou Liang smell on him, so he hurried over to ask what had happened.
Hearing the girl's indignant complaints, Huang Yingdi only felt that it was funny. He winked at Long Yao and said, "Little friend, you're not jealous, are you? How's brother Xiao Do these days? I miss him so much! "
It could only be said that Huang Yingdi's style of courting death was unprecedented. With one sentence, he made Long Yao explode with rage.
"Brother?"
Long Yao narrowed her eyes with an unfriendly expression. She avoided his hand that was about to wrap around her shoulder and said, "The smell on your body is disgusting. Get out of my sight immediately."
A scream interrupted him, "Who are you calling disgusting! You're not allowed to say anything bad about Prince Charming. You're the one who should get out, get out! "
"Yes, get out, anti-fan!"
"How can the school let this kind of uncultured person in? Get out of here!"
The attacks of brainless fans could never be underestimated. One of them even lost control and took out a bottle of mineral water to throw at Long Yao, but the bottle somehow hit Huang Yingdi's head. With a bang, it splashed water all over him.
This was great. The scene was filled with screams and chaos.
When the security guards and crew finally rescued Huang Yingdi from the crowd, Huang Yingdi, who had already been doused with cold water, was in an extremely sorry state. Most of the buttons on his shirt had been torn.
His manager was shocked and angry. He raised his hand and wanted to call the police, but was stopped by the director. He even wanted to find the school leaders to punish these troublemakers.
As the main culprit, Long Yao, who had no intention of leaving, of course wasn't let off by his manager. Even when the Fairy University's tutor rushed over to negotiate, the manager, who was still whining at the aggrieved Huang Yingdi, couldn't calm down.
Huang Yingdi didn't have any intention of making things difficult for Long Yao. Others didn't know, but he clearly saw that the reason the bottle of mineral water hit his head was Long Yao's handiwork. To be able to use Yaojing in human society, to be able to do this without batting an eyelid, no matter who she was, she definitely wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
Originally, he wanted to turn big things into small things into nothing. However, when his gayish manager started scolding people, he didn't even have the right to interrupt. The Yaojing teacher was completely defeated, and could only ask her guardian to come over and help.
Huang Yingdi hadn't seen that little human in a few years, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
When Gou Liang arrived, the manager had already let go of the sincere Yaojing teacher and the school leader in the classroom that the production crew had temporarily requisitioned. He began to crusade against this disappointing society, "You tell me, what's wrong with this society? How can people be so impetuous? Can't they get along well? If everything has to be solved violently, does this society even have a future? Does it have a tomorrow? "
His ability to hypnotize people with his demonic voice was really impressive. With Long Yao's explosive temper, it took all of her self-control to not throw him out of the window. Even when Gou Liang arrived, he didn't immediately smell his scent.
Gou Liang raised his finger and knocked on the door, only then did he interrupt the manager's complaints and save everyone's eardrums in the classroom.
"You are …"
When the manager saw this man in a suit who was obviously Long Yao's guardian, he immediately shifted his focus. However, before he could open fire on Gou Liang, Long Yao and Huang Yingdi suddenly stood up from their seats and scared him back down.
Gou Liang frowned, his gaze indifferent. However, even so, Long Yao and Huang Yingdi, who had experienced the power of their guardian before, were as honest as children who had done something wrong.
Gou Liang strode forward and carefully confirmed that Long Yao was fine. Then, he took his hand and said, "He's still alive. Your improvement really surprised me. You did well, baby."
Huang Yingdi, who was ignored, "…"
He immediately understood that this "he" was referring to his manager, "…"
Long Yao only said one word reservedly, "Mm." However, the curve of his lips and the small eyes he glanced at Huang Yingdi couldn't hide his pride.
Huang Yingdi said with a stifled heart, "Brother Xiao Do, can't you see me in your eyes anymore?"
Long Yao's gaze immediately turned a few degrees colder. Gou Liang put one hand in his pocket and stepped forward to block Long Yao behind him. He raised his head and smiled, "Lead actor, congratulations on making the headlines again. Tsk, the actions of the fans are paid for by their idols. Let's not talk about your IQ dropping year after year, but it really bothers me to drag my child into this. "
Huang Yingdi, "… Xiao Do gege, are you no longer my Xiao Do gege QAQ?"
A cross appeared on Long Yao's forehead. If it wasn't for Gou Liang beside him, he would have already exploded.
At this time, he coldly looked down at Huang Yingdi and calmly said, "Are you trying to provoke me?"
A cold light flashed in his dark red eyes. The royal demon's aura was only the tip of the iceberg. The eight hundred year old weasel only felt the hair on his back stand up. His face immediately turned pale and cold sweat rolled down his face. The demon instructor's level was lower than his, so he fell down on the spot. If he hadn't fallen into his seat, he would have made a big joke.
"You, you …?"
Weasel looked at Long Yao in disbelief, and then looked at Gou Liang.
It was because Gou Liang was Long Yao's guardian that he didn't consider the possibility that the other party might be royalty. After all, private firms were limited by the level of clients they could accept. He also saw that this little demon who had just reached adulthood was very possessive of Gou Liang. He could provoke him to anger with just a few words. He was like a fun child, so he couldn't help but tease Long Yao.
He didn't expect that he would kick an iron plate.
Gou Liang facepalmed, "I really shouldn't have had any expectations for your IQ."
Weasel bowed his head in fear and trepidation, "Sorry, it's little … I was rude, please forgive me."
Long Yao still remembered how he intimately called Xiao Do gege. He coldly sneered, "Did you pretend to be young for too long and forget what you are? Gege, huh? "
His tone was unkind, and Weasel's nervousness lessened. His lowered gaze fell on Gou Liang and Long Yao's hands that were holding hands, and an absurd but seemingly unsurprising guess floated in his mind.
Weasel suppressed the hundreds of thoughts in his heart and looked at Gou Liang, saying, "Mr. Xiao Do, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
Gou Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his formal and serious appearance. He looked at his agent who didn't understand the situation and said, "We were also in the wrong today. I'm really sorry. I've already taken care of the headlines about my child. He won't appear in any public media or news. Please cooperate and don't involve him, okay? "
The agent didn't know how to face the smile on the baby's face, and he couldn't say anything to refute it. He couldn't even raise his orchid fingers and repeatedly said, "Okay, no problem."
Gou Liang apologized to the fairy mentor again. The mentor definitely wouldn't dare to make a fuss about this matter and leave a disqualification record for Long Yao in the practical evaluation. He vaguely promised Gou Liang and left with Long Yao, who was still in class.
As soon as they left, Weasel hurriedly invited Gou Liang to the crew's lounge and asked, "Gege Xiao Do, I won't ask who he is. What's going on with you guys? You can't be … right? "
He was bewildered, and for the first time, he couldn't be sure of his intuition.
"Can't be what?"
Gou Liang clearly understood and pretended to be confused.
Weasel was anxious, "Gege Xiao Do, you used to be my guardian, and that's why I'm talking to you like this. Let's not talk about your child who just became an adult and has an unstable temperament. Fairies are dependent on the first human they feed on. You're so outstanding, I'm not surprised that he has a good impression of you. But you've always been the calmest and most rational. You should know what your attitude determines. If … you're found out, the only one who will be hurt is you, your job, and even your personal safety! "
Gou Liang smiled, "Thank you for your concern. I know what to do."
Weasel breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to catch up with him again. Gou Liang raised his hand to look at the time on his watch and said, "Let's meet again next time. I have to go home and cook for my child."
Weasel, "…"
He took a deep breath and exhaled, saying sadly, "I said so much, but you didn't listen to a single word."
Gou Liang laughed out loud, "I understand what you said, but there's no end to it. People only listen to the voice of their heart. I only want to do what I want to do. I don't want to let myself down, nor do I want to let others down. "
Weasel put away all the playfulness on his face and looked at him deeply, saying in a low voice, "No, you don't understand … the difference between your few decades and his few decades."
He smiled bitterly, his eyes full of vicissitudes hiding many stories that had been buried in time, but were also engraved in his heart.
Gou Liang didn't ask any more questions. He waved his hand and said, "My contact number hasn't changed. If you need a caring brother, I'll be waiting for you at any time."
The haze in Weasel's eyes dissipated, and he agreed with a smile.
Gou Liang walked out of the school gate and saw Long Yao lazily leaning against his car with his hands in his pockets. Even if he didn't do anything, just standing there attracted the attention of many people.
They were intimidated by his powerful and cold emperor aura and didn't dare to approach. However, they were unwilling to leave in twos and threes. When Gou Liang walked over, he heard suppressed cries of excitement, "So handsome!" "Is he also part of the cast?" "If it's true, I can't wait to rush to the cinema and buy, buy, buy, buy!"
Gou Liang's lips curled up. He stood a step away from Long Yao and asked him, "Is class over?"
"Yes."
Long Yao was a bit unhappy. He reached out and pulled him into his arms, lowering his head to kiss his forehead.
He took every word that Gou Liang said to heart, so even if he was very hungry, he still restrained himself when eating. He was afraid that he would absorb too much spiritual energy and affect Gou Liang's health. Moreover, he didn't eat unless Gou Liang took the initiative to feed him.
This was the second time this had happened.
After confirming that he didn't lose the slightest bit of spiritual energy and didn't feed the weasel or was eaten by the other party, Long Yao's tense mood finally relaxed. A warm and harmonious smile appeared in his eyes.
He ignored the screams in the background and opened the car door to send Gou Liang into the car. After that, he sat in the driver's seat and looked at Gou Liang while lying on the seat, "You and that weasel are very familiar with each other. What did you say after talking for so long?"
He was like an overly controlling husband, questioning everyone who approached Gou Liang.
Gou Liang started the car, and the sound of the engine and his laughter resounded together, "With your hearing, even a fart in this school can't escape your ears, right?"
"… …"
Long Yao was speechless and said, "Other than you, I am not interested in anyone else."
Gou Liang patted his head, and while driving home, he said, "He is a pitiful seductress, don't find trouble with him."
Long Yao, who had already planned to let Long Yi send this eyesore back to the barrier, curled her lips and said, "I don't see him as pitiful."
Seeing that Gou Liang just smiled and didn't answer, Long Yao was silent for a while before asking, "What did he mean by that?"
"Hmm? Which sentence? "
Gou Liang looked up at him in the rearview mirror and asked.
Long Yao: "What's the difference between your decades and mine?"
The smile on Gou Liang's face froze. He had run a red light in the blink of an eye. Immediately, he was a little annoyed. "Driving with a little minx against the rules. My bonus for this month … This is really a sad story."
Long Yao saw his sad face and laughed. "With me here, who would dare to deduct your bonus?"
Gou Liang said with a smile, "That's right, this sentence is very domineering, CEO."
"… I can tell that you're trying to change the topic."
Long Yao snorted in a low voice.
Gou Liang laughed hollowly and stopped the car at the side of the road. He turned around and said, "For us, it is indeed a story. I only know that many years ago, Weasel fell in love with a human in the human world. Twenty or thirty years later, that human died of illness … Afterwards, he used several hundred years to have the courage to start a new life. "
The reason why the service period of the original host and Weasel was longer than the average customer was because the original host was not only the guardian, but also played the role of the other party's psychologist.
However, the recovery was always only the superficial wound. Even if the wound branded with another person's name was healed, it would still leave an unforgettable scar.
Gou Liang sighed and continued, "His life is still very long, but that human left early. Don't you feel that this kind of feeling is very unfair?"
"No."
Long Yao said resolutely and decisively, "Your life in exchange for my life, it is very fair."
Gou Liang was stunned, "You … …"
Long Yao lowered her head and kissed his lips. She said in a low voice, "If it was me … … I wouldn't need to start over. I'll stay where I am and wait for you. I should be satisfied. Those who suffer are just too greedy. "
[Ding, target's affection has been updated. Current affection: 90!]
Gou Liang: … … I don't know if you'll still be this open-minded when the affection reaches 100.
He laughed and touched Long Yao's lips. He said in a hoarse voice, "Are you seducing me to commit a crime, little minx?"
Long Yao kissed his lips again, "It's an invitation. Xiao Kener, do you want to accept?"
"… … Okay."
He closed his eyes and welcomed Long Yao's clumsy but careful kiss. He laughed softly.
[Ding, mission progress bar has been upgraded. Current mission progress: 1%!]
