Those Beautiful Eyes!
The girl's panic didn't seem fake. Her hair was a mess, and her clothes weren't enough to cover her body. Large swaths of her snow-white skin were exposed, and her feet were bare. She pursed her lips tightly as she ran towards Ye Zichen and the others.
Yang Jian stood at the front, his gaze cold. He pushed the girl away, preventing her from getting any closer.
The panic-stricken girl became even more frantic at this moment. She couldn't help but beg and even knelt down.
"Demons."
Ye Zichen knit his brows. He could clearly sense the demonic aura of the demon race emanating from the girl.
He'd never had a good impression of the demons.
"What beautiful eyes," exclaimed Pu Jingwan.
Pu Jingwan exclaimed in surprise. Ye Zichen looked into her eyes.
They really were beautiful.
Her eyes were as clear as the blue sky, as clear as the ocean. There was no trace of impurity in them. Just looking into her eyes was enough to cleanse one's soul.
After begging a few times to no avail, the girl knelt on the ground, covered her face, and sobbed.
As she sobbed, she looked so pitiful and helpless. Ye Zichen and the others might be her last hope.
"How about we …."
Pu Jingwan wanted to say something, but stopped. The girl's sobs broke her heart.
Normally, she would've called the girl over to her side, protected her, warmed her, and shed her tears.
But things were different now.
She was on a bounty mission, and her employer had the final say. All she had to do was ensure her employer's safety. As for anything else that wasn't part of her mission, she didn't have to worry about it.
As a result, she only got halfway through her sentence before swallowing the rest.
It wasn't just Pu Jingwan's heart that broke. Even Yang Jian couldn't bear to see her like this, and he quietly retracted his hand. During this time, he glanced at Ye Zichen. Although he didn't say anything, his actions proved his true feelings.
The girl who was rejected outside was still crying. Her hands kept wiping away her tears, and she hung her head dispiritedly.
She didn't want to run anymore.
The moment she'd chosen to flee into the primal chaos, she'd lost all hope of regaining her freedom.
Run ….
Could she outrun rulers?
Her escape only slightly delayed the time of her capture, but the result could not be changed.
When she first encountered Ye Zichen's group, even though she sensed that they were probably gods, she still held onto a glimmer of hope.
The result was barely satisfactory.
No more running.
He couldn't run anymore.
He gave up.
He would let her cry for a while to vent the unwillingness in her heart. Then, she would be captured by that person and go back to her dark life.
"Let her come over."
Pu Jingwan's face lit up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek.
Even though Yang Jian had already started moving when he heard this, she was still a bit faster than him.
When he saw Pu Jingwan in front of him, Yang Jian retreated. Pu Jingwan, on the other hand, was far better off than him.
"Don't cry, come with me."
Pu Jingwan draped a cloak over the girl's shoulders. She smiled, bent over, and reached out her hand. The girl, who was on the verge of despair, stopped sobbing. Her eyes were red from crying, but they were still breathtakingly beautiful. She looked up in a daze.
Pu Jingwan's hand was like a ray of light in her dark, lightless life.
It shone on her face and reflected in her eyes.
Pu Jingwan, who'd called her "old lady," was incomparably gentle.
When Pu Jingwan saw that the girl still hadn't moved, she smiled warmly. She carefully wiped away her tears, then reached out her hand again.
"Come."
The girl burst into tears once more. She bit her lip, nodded, and reached out her hand.
Pu Jingwan grabbed Ye Zichen's hand and draped the cloak over Ye Zichen's body. Then, she lifted Ye Zichen into her arms and walked over to Ye Zichen.
"This is our boss. He was the one who decided to save you. If you want to thank someone, you should thank him," said Pu Jingwan to the young girl.
"Thank you."
The girl bit her lip and nodded gratefully. Ye Zichen could tell from her eyes that she had a lot to say, but her lips moved, and nothing came out. All she could do was bow and thank Pu Jingwan repeatedly.
The closer he got, the more he realized just how beautiful her eyes were.
Ye Zichen stood across from her. He stared into her eyes, and they seemed to sink in.
After being stared at like that, the girl lowered her head in embarrassment. Only then did Ye Zichen come back to his senses. He'd lost his composure just now.
However, in his heart, he couldn't stop muttering ….
How could her eyes be so beautiful?
He'd only ever seen eyes like that on Lorie. Back then, she'd never left the valley. She was as pure as a sheet of white paper. However, the young girl in front of him was somewhat different from her. From the young girl's eyes, he could feel that she had experienced too many changes in the world.
She'd experienced despair, and she'd resented others.
Even so, it wasn't easy for her eyes to remain so pure.
The eyes were the windows to the soul.
If her eyes were like that, then her heart had to be like that too.
Ye Zichen refused to believe that someone with eyes like that could have been deliberately sent to his side. Someone with ulterior motives.
That was why, even though she was a demon, Ye Zichen had asked Pu Jingwan to let her in.
"Did you see that? Our boss has taken a liking to you. Little girl, you're so lucky! If you really don't know how to repay him, how about you marry him instead? "
When Pu Jingwan saw the girl blush and lower her head, she slyly leaned in and whispered in her ear.
When the girl heard that, her face reddened even further, down to her ears. However, based on her expression, she didn't seem shy at all. Rather, she seemed nervous, and her fingers moved back and forth.
"I …. I have someone I like already."
"Ah? That's not good news. Boss, look, this little girl already has someone she likes. You're like a fallen flower, but a heartless river. How about you see if I'm good enough? "Pu Jingwan smiled flirtatiously.
"Pu Jingwan!"
Pu Jingwan's face darkened as she glared at her. The girl instinctively shrank back, then leaned closer to Pu Jingwan.
"Don't be afraid, and don't listen to Pu Jingwan's nonsense. I've never wanted you to marry me. I brought you here because I felt sorry for you. I didn't have any other intentions. "
Ye Zichen glanced at the girl, then sighed deeply. "What's your name?"
