Happiness and Nervousness

Blossom City, Starling Building.

Starling building was the largest building in Blossom City and was one of the secret places used by the Enforcement Pavillion.

A blue-clothed maid was cleaning a room in an elegant room on the seventh floor.

"Boom!"

The window blasted open, and a blue-colored figure floated in.

The blue-clothed maid's eyes lit up, "Young Master, you've returned! It looks like that vile Yang Kai was eliminated by you."

A complicated look appeared on Xu Jia Qi's face, "Yeah..."

"I already know that demon is no match for Young Master! He deserved to die for all the evil deeds he's done!" The maid said with a smile.

Yang Kai was a person with demonic naturism and had constantly been feuding with Xu Jia Qi.

It wasn't anything significant, just some little friction.

This time, the sect posted a mission to wipe out all demonic forces within the southwestern region, causing the two to have a life-and-death battle.

Even though Yang Kai was talented, he was no match for Xu Jia Qi's peerless genuineness.

At this moment, the maid noticed that behind Xu Jia Qi was a cocoon wrapped in a ribbon and became curious, "Young Master, what's behind you?"

"Nothing..." Xu Jia Qi said timidly but sighed at her terrible lying as she sighed before retracting the ribbon revealing a gorgeous face, "It's Yang Kai."

"Yang Kai...?" The Blue-clothed maid was startled.

"Don't worry. He's not conscious." Xu Jia Qi replied.

Yang Kai was a demon general under the Nether Demon Emperor and had a splendid reputation in the southwest region. Although his strength was not as strong as that of a peerless genius such as Xu Jia Shi, it was not something a little maid could understand.

'Why did the Young Master bring him back... a public execution? Enslaved person? Torture?' The maid pondered to herself.

"Little Hua, go to the Alchemy Hall, invite old Medicine king over, and be discrete." Xia Jia Qi said in a soft tone.

Little Hua was stunned for a few seconds and asked nervously, "Young Master, are you injured?"

"I'm fine." Xia Jia Qi shook her head.

"Then..." Little Hua looked at Yang Kai.

"Yes." Xia Jia Qi said plainly.

Little Hua's mind became blank.

Save Yang Kai?

Arent they mortal enemies?

Then what's the point of accepting the mission if he's saved in the end?

"I know you have questions, but I can't explain them right now. Now, follow my orders and go." Xia Jia Qi said as she became a little cold at the end of her sentence.

Little Hua nodded as she went to follow her Young Master's orders as she didn't dare probe any further.

Just as she was about to leave, she stopped and turned around.

Xia Jia Qi furrowed her brows, "What's wrong?"

Little Hua pointed to her lips just below and said meekly, "Young Master, there's a little something on your face..."

"Nonsense, what are..." Xia Jia Qi stopped midway through her sentence, she suddenly reacted, and her delicate face instantly turned peach red.

She hurriedly covered her lips and quickly turned around as she started stammering, "No! It's... it's nothing. Hurry up!"

Little Hua nodded her head.

After Little Hua went out, Xia Jia Qi became a bit calmer as she looked at Yang Kai, her eyes full of embarrassment and irritation.

"You pervert! That kiss was so fierce that you almost got me caught!" Xu Jia Qi pouted cutely.

...

...

...

Yang Kai had a dream as he was in slumber.

In the dream, he was 'Heaven's child,' a peerless genuis that everyone admired, faires, and saintesses fawned over him.

His 'mortal enemy' Xu Jia Qi, fell in love with him and became his wife.

"Darling~"

Xu Jia Qi's goddess face flushed, looking up at him with affection and love. Her bright blue eyes looked as if they had Autumn waves [1].

Suddenly Yang Kai's eyes opened as he quickly stood up, looking at the unfamiliar environment around him.

'Did it work?' Yang Kai thought.

'According to the system, I should be a protagonist, but where am I?' Yang Kai thought, confused, as a voice came from behind him, "Finally awake?"

Yang Kai turned around and saw a blue-clothed maid looking at him warily.

"Hello...?"

"Little Hua."

"Little Hua..." Yang Kai mumbled as he didn't recognize that name as he was in thought a felt his body convulse in pain.

"Ahhh~" Yang Kai felt his chest over his clothes and could feel the bandages that covered his body as his chest was aching exactly where Xu Jia Qi stabbed him.

He then confusedly looked at Little Hua, "I thought I died..."

"You should have!" Little Hua snorted.

"You were badly injured, and on death's door, unfortunately, the Young Miss saved you, and Medicine King Senior, with his highly skilled artillery, pulled you back from the dead." Little Hua said coldly.

"I don't know why she saved you. They used a lot of pills and elixirs. The Young Miss even used the Golden Leaf, which brought you back for the Medicine King to do the rest."

Yang Kai was at a loss for words, as he didn't know what to do.

He should have died. That was in the plot.

That was his role, his sole purpose to be a stepping stone, but what would happen now that he was alive?

It wasn't in the plot, and even more, he was saved by Xu Jia Qi.

Yang Kai felt his heart flutter with happiness and a bit of nervousness.

Happy that Xu Jia Qi saved his life.

And nervous that Xu Jia Qi saved his life.

He wondered what Xu Jia Qi was thinking as Yang Kai felt his heart pounding with complex emotions.
