"Then...why are you giving me this?"
Xia Liya slowly stood up and walked to He Wen's side. Under He Wen's gaze, she placed the stone in He Wen's palm. Then she began to recite the incantation, and the stone blended in little by little. In the palm of He Wen's hand.
Immediately afterwards, the runes originally carved on the stone appeared on the back of He Wen's hand.
But after a while, the runes gradually disappeared.
He Wen was frightened, and he quickly checked the palm of his hand.
"Damn it, what did you do? Why did it get into my body! Dig it out for me quickly!"
"There is a custom in our demon clan. If you find your partner, you will implant your spirit stone into the other person's body and engrave your name on the other person's body."
He Wenren was dumbfounded. He looked at the palm of his hand, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Xia Liya and asked.
"If I understand correctly, what you just said is..."
"I have no money, and you saved my life. And you just said, let me find a partner. I hope you can be my partner."
When he said this, He Wen finally saw a shy look on the girl's face.
"Wait a moment. First of all, I didn't save your life. I just cleared the blockage of the spiritual veins in your body. Even if it doesn't clear the blockage of your spiritual veins, at most you won't be able to use magic. Secondly, even if you really have no money, I won’t commit myself to you.”
He leaned forward, trying to remain calm as he continued.
"And I am a doctor. It is my bounden duty to treat illnesses and save lives."
After hearing He Wen's words, Xia Liya's eyes showed a trace of disappointment.
"Am I too ugly? I know I'm not good-looking, and I've always been called an ugly girl among the demon clan."
"What the hell?"
He Wen just wanted to slap all the demon clan members. They actually called such a beautiful girl an ugly girl. How can you say this so easily? Are you not afraid of thunder from the sky?
"Not only are you not ugly, but you are the most..." I have ever seen.
I wanted to say that she was the prettiest, but then I thought about Princess Eve’s appearance, so I changed my mind.
"She is the only two good-looking girls I have ever seen."
"Then you will be my partner."
"Wait a minute, you are a bit presumptuous. Why do you suddenly want me to be your partner? We have only known each other for a few hours!"
Unexpectedly, Xia Liya's expression suddenly turned serious. She took He Wen's hand and said seriously.
"Because when you touched my body just now, I had a very strange feeling. This feeling has never happened before. I...I like you touching me very much."
He Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Isn't this witch a slut?
"That's the effect of treatment, it's just a simulation of having sex!"
"Having sex...is this what it feels like? Then can I have sex with you?"
If He Wen was really a bad person, he might just pin this little witch on the bed and punish her on the spot.
But he had to calm down now, but seeing how determined the girl was, he thought of a compromise.
"So, don't you have no money? How about you work here and be my nurse?"
"Nurse?"
Shalia tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand what the word meant.
"Just help me out and help me."
"Maid?"
"...You can understand it this way."
"But you have accepted my spirit stone."
It was obviously you who stuffed it into my body suddenly!
He Wen screamed in his heart, but still patiently said to the witch in front of him who obviously did not have the common sense of ordinary people.
"Let's do this. You can be my nurse first, and we can get to know each other. After you get to know me thoroughly, if you still want me to be your partner... we can discuss it then, okay? "
There seemed to be a hint of loneliness in Shalia's eyes.
"But...humanity's time is short."
He Wen almost forgot that demons are immortal species. In their view, the life of short-lived species like humans is just a passing cloud.
"Don't worry, I'm different from ordinary humans."
The reason why He Wen dared to say this was because He Wen had seen formulas for extending lifespan and even elixirs in the exchange shop. As long as he upgraded his level and earned Holy Doctor points, he could spend a lot of time with this little girl. Hundreds or thousands of years is not a big problem.
At any rate, Shalia finally accepted that they should start by getting to know each other.
"Can you clean?"
"Well, I will do whatever you ask, Master."
He Wen had already strongly objected to this title, but Xia Liya insisted on it. Maybe this was the ritual sense of the demon clan.
In the evening, looking at the sky getting dark, He Wen estimated that the time was almost up, so he put on his coat and planned to go out. Xia Liya immediately followed him like a well-behaved kitten.
"I'm going to see a doctor, so don't follow me."
But Xia Liya didn't say a word, and still followed He Wen in her shabby robe.
After that, He Wen was too lazy to say anything, so he took Shalia to Eve's house.
Eve looked much better today and she could get out of bed and move around, but He Wen still suggested that she rest for a few more days.
"Who is this lady?"
Eve looked at Shalia behind He Wen and asked with some confusion.
"A patient I rescued today stayed with me as an apprentice for the time being because he had nowhere to go."
"Not an apprentice, a maid."
Shalia corrected.
Eve was slightly startled, and then looked at He Wen with a strange look in her eyes.
"Does Dr. Hewen have that kind of hobby?"
"No! Don't listen to her nonsense."
"I mean...if you...if you like, I can..."
Princess Eve lowered her head slightly while speaking, her cheeks slightly red.
"Master, are you okay yet? I want to have sex."
Just before Eve finished speaking, Shalia suddenly said something that shocked everyone present.
"You brat!! So you are such a lustful person!! I knew I was right! Brat! You are not allowed to get close to Her Highness the Princess again!"
The old knight did not draw his sword this time, but he grabbed He Wen and tried to drag him out.
The maid also covered her mouth and looked at He Wen with a slight blush.
"No! Listen to my explanation! That's the treatment process!"
"Which good person would treat people like that? You are still quibbling!"
"I mean, the process of treatment can cause people to react like that! Damn it, the more I talk about it, the weirder it gets!"
At this moment, Eve, who had been sitting on the bed with her head lowered, raised her head slightly.
She still had a smile on her face, but in He Wen's opinion, there was a hint of solemnity in the smile.
"It turns out that this is the reward Dr. He Wen wants."
"Princess Eve, you...what did you say?"
"No problem, Dr. He Wen, just tell me and I can do anything for you."
Princess Eve's eyes were a little dim at this time, and the smile on her face became more and more terrifying.
Damn it! This princess is a yandere!
He Wen shouted in his heart that he had read a lot of novels in his previous life and was very clear about the condition of yandere. But now the information in Eve's eyes was like she was going to eat him in the next second.
In the end, everyone reluctantly believed He Wen's words.
When he walked out of the princess's room, He Wen felt tired. Why did he get into such a turmoil?
"Miss Shalia."
But the princess stopped Shalia when she was going out.
Shalia looked back at Eve sitting on the bed, with no emotion in her eyes.
"I won't lose to you."
Princess Eve pulled the quilt and said to Shalia as if she had made up her mind.
"You are still too weak."
Shalia only left these words and left the room without looking back.
"...Am I too weak? I'm such a cunning girl."
The princess looked at the two people's retreating figures outside the window, and at the same time made some determination.
