Survival Guide After Accidentally Kissing a Demon - Chapter 262

Chapter 262

It rained heavily for three days.

The blood-red river water was washed clean, and the restriction by which Tilisha had closed the Teleportation Array was lifted as well.

Only, no one had expected what came with it: swarms of lice and flies.

The lice sucked people’s blood. Clouds of flies flew into houses and spoiled the food.

The people who had originally been trapped inside the imperial city all ran out, and even those of Noble rank in the palace fled the imperial city.

So the fleeing groups chose to head for a less populated, more open Town to take temporary shelter.

There were two or three camels in the group, but their number was limited, so the ones riding them were the children in the group, along with the group’s luggage.

Beili and the youth walked hand in hand at the very back of the group.

The leader seemed worried that the two of them would collapse from exhaustion halfway there, and had specially instructed the people at the rear to look back from time to time and check whether they had fallen behind.

This made someone in the group a little unhappy.

Because those who stayed at the back of the group were usually young men, so they could better take care of the elderly and children in the middle who lacked stamina.

In short, after the young man turned back for the who-knew-how-many-th time to check on them, the smile on the youth’s face vanished for an instant.

The next second, his smile deepened.

“He turned back and look-looked at you twenty times,” the youth said.

He had counted very clearly.

“He was looking at us,” Beili corrected him. “He was just making sure we hadn’t fallen behind. There was nothing else to it.”

Beili was convinced of this, because she had asked the Morpho Butterflies. This group’s appearance had been a coincidence, not something deliberately arranged.

“He was looking at you.”

The youth emphasized it with a serious tone, then said very softly, “If he turns-turns back for the twenty-first time, I’ll dig out his eyes.”

“No.”

She said it flatly.

“I know that would-would scare you, right?”

The youth curved his lips. “So I’ll wait until you can’t see-see it, and then-”

“No,” she cut in, her tone stern.

Was this guy too familiar with her now?

Now he could say absolutely anything right in front of her, without the slightest restraint.

“Why? Don’t tell me you like him?”

The youth suddenly asked.

“Why would I like him…? I don’t even know his name.”

Beili looked utterly baffled.

“Don’t overthink things. I don’t want you hurting people over trivial matters…”

Even if this was a dream, Beili still wanted to rein in his violent thoughts a little.

She could let the one with Black Goat Horns on his head go, but when it came to Ashera in his Youth Form, Beili still had some authority.

She sighed. “We still have to travel with them.”

Hearing her words, the youth was quiet for a few seconds before saying,

“You still-still want to know his name.”

Beili: …

Although they were two forms and two different people, from this angle, their essence really was the same.

“We’re only traveling with them for a short while. Once we reach our destination, we’ll go our separate ways.”

The youth tightened his hold on her hand, lowered his eyes slightly, and gave a muffled “Mm.”

Beili opened her mouth. After a moment, she said softly,

“Ashera, when it comes to liking me, you seem to have very little sense of security.”

“Sense of security…”

There was some confusion in the youth’s tone. “What’s that?”

Beili explained patiently,

“A sense of security is probably when, after confirming how I feel, you believe that I won’t easily fall for someone else or be attracted to someone else.”

“So that’s what it is…”

After thinking for two seconds, the youth tilted his head to look at her, and his lowered lashes curved.

“Then I don’t have it.”

He said.

He didn’t have it.

He had no sense of security.

Beili suddenly realized that she had never known what the youth wanted.

Ashera in his Adult Form wanted to drag her down to Hell. What about him?

“Ashera, what do you want?”

Beili asked.

“I…”

The youth said slowly,

“I want you to love me… only love me… love me for a very long time, until we dis-disappear from this world…”

As he spoke, his lashes paused. The corners of his mouth slowly lifted, and he said in a very soft voice,

“Today, the twenty-first time.”

Beili turned back. Just as she lifted her red eyes, her gaze happened to meet the man’s up ahead.

…

Perhaps.

No matter which form Ashera was in, their feelings were connected.

So it was not only the youth. Ashera with the Black Goat Horns on his head had the same lack of security. It was just that the two forms expressed it differently.

“You don’t-don’t like me doing this.”

Seeing that she did not speak, the youth lowered his lashes along with his golden eyes, and his voice weakened.

“Little Butterfly, sometimes… I can’t feel-feel that you like me.”

Her red eyes flickered slightly.

She knew he was pretending to be pitiful.

When this guy had not taken control of the body, one moment he wanted to kill this person, the next he wanted to kill that person.

There was not a single person who got close to her that he did not want to kill.

But hearing his words, she was still moved somewhere deep in her heart.

It was like tossing a ruby into a clean glass of red wine, stirring up ripples the color of burgundy.

Beili raised a hand and smoothed the silver hair that the wind had blown into disarray.

Compared to when they had been in Nauze, his short wolf-tail hair had grown out again. The hair at the nape of his neck already fell into his collar.

Beili drew in a soft breath.

Pinching his earlobe between her fingertips, she leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

…

The youth heard her words. His lashes trembled lightly, and his footsteps clearly faltered.

Then.

“Okay.”

He nodded first. Only after a moment did he ask belatedly, as if he could hardly believe it, “Really?”

“Mm.”

The girl’s red eyes curved slightly.
