l He began to try to give her a normal life, not only bought a house to live with her, but also went through the formalities for her to study. He prepared everything for girls her age who were delicate and complete, but she always looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and she was always silent.
In order to change her character, he lived with her for five years.
In the past five years, he has changed from a demon who is completely unfamiliar with this society to a gentle and elegant business elite, and he is also the kind of successful person who can go to the kitchen and treat children very patiently. And under his careful care, she has slowly transformed from the little mute that everyone hated at the beginning to the most popular goddess scholar.
In a sense, time and family are good medicine, because they cure her stubborn illness and allow her to start a new life. But for him, they turned into poison, because they made him realize that he had no courage to leave her.
When he took her home earlier, he just felt that she didn't deserve to be treated unfairly like this. He thought that as long as she could integrate into this society, even if he completed the task, he would be able to retire. But after witnessing her become lively and outstanding, he didn't dare to think about leaving her at all.
He knew it wasn't a good sign, so he started to get scared. He was afraid that he would fall deeper and deeper and finally do irreparable wrong, but in the end, what he was most afraid of was that she would discover his secret and lose her completely.
No one can accept the identity of a demon, even if she thinks differently from ordinary people, it doesn't mean that she can have a different choice in this regard. He was always thinking about how to explain to her when she found out, but what he didn't expect was that before he could think of a reason, he disappeared from her life because of an accident without any notice.
It was the first time in his life that he hated a Taoist priest who hunted demons so much, but he also blamed himself for accidentally falling in front of the Taoist priest. If it weren't for that, with that Taoist priest's meager deeds, it would be impossible to hurt him. Because of the existence of this handle, this little Taoist priest not only succeeded in making him lose his hundred years of cultivation, but also directly knocked him back to his original form, making him completely unable to maintain his human form for a while.
He was injured, and he couldn't entangle with that little Taoist priest more. After finally escaping the danger, he was forced to leave her and return to his own world in order to recover as soon as possible.
He left in a hurry, and before he could even say a decent goodbye or ask for a word, he completely disappeared into her life. Earlier, she thought that he was just on a business trip as usual, and it was inconvenient to contact, so she didn't think much about it. It wasn't until a long time later when he still hadn't heard from him, and when she found out that he hadn't taken anything with him, that she felt as if she had been abandoned again.
No one can afford to be abandoned by those closest to her, especially for her, who has been abandoned once, such a blow is huge and terrifying. But she was no longer the same child she was after, so she didn't turn all her pain into silence again. She didn't keep silent as before, she just began to work hard to fill the void he had brought her after he left.
