When He Wen woke up from his sleep again, it was already noon the next day.
He opened his eyes drowsily, and for a moment he wondered if everything he had experienced during this period was just a long dream, and he was still at home when he woke up.
But what he saw in front of him was not the familiar ceiling, but the iron plates of a simple house constructed by himself through alchemy.
He sighed, and then began to check his body. The hunger and weakness that made him suffer to the extreme had disappeared, and instead he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and vitality.
"...Woo."
At that moment, He Wen suddenly felt something. He looked down and saw Shalia lying naked in his arms.
The long silver hair now flows on the shoulders like a waterfall, exuding a faint fragrance.
That cute and delicate little face, with a faint blush, looked even more shy and charming. Her eyes were closed tightly, and her soft breathing lingered in the air like a whisper, making people feel loving.
At this moment, He Wen suddenly remembered what happened. The demonic power in his body activated its origin and absorbed magic power from Shalia, who was a demon. The method of absorbing magic power was... .
He suddenly felt extremely remorseful. Although it was a side effect of the devil's power, he had also done something very unspeakable to the girl.
Seemingly noticing He Wen's gaze, the girl opened her eyes slightly, and He Wen's somewhat panicked expression was reflected in her plain, watery pupils.
"Master, are you feeling better?"
Shalia's tone was always as calm as a pool of autumn water, without any ripples.
But the slight blush on her cheeks and the slight unnaturalness in her tone gave her away.
He Wen knew that this was not a true reflection of her heart.
Shalia was pretending to be calm, trying to hide her inner fluctuations.
"Shalia, I...I'm really sorry, I..."
He Wen looked at her, his heart full of apologies. "Shalia, I...I'm really sorry, I..." He began to try to apologize, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that such an apology seemed too conformist. , lack of sincerity.
He hesitated, thinking about how to express his feelings.
After some inner struggle, He Wen finally made up his mind.
"I...I will definitely be responsible for you."
He said this firmly.
However, when Shalia heard this, she was not as angry or shy as He Wen expected.
Instead, she smiled softly. There was a hint of imperceptible sweetness in that smile, as if it resonated with He Wen's words.
"You are a devil and my master. It is only natural that you draw magic power from my body. Of course, you said you are responsible for me. I am very happy, but..."
Shallya's fingers gently stroked He Wen's cheek, tugging at his heartstrings.
"As you know, I have betrayed my own race, and I will do the same one day..."
"There is no master-servant relationship between us, Shalia."
But He Wen gently grabbed her hand that was touching her cheek, looked at her seriously and said.
"I will find a way to control the side effects of the demonic power in my body. I promise you, if..."
His face was a little red and his tone was trembling.
"If... there is a next time, it will definitely not be because of the power of the devil, but... because of my instinct, of course! The premise of all this is you. .....if you wish..."
To be honest, although He Wen was already 27 years old before his rebirth, he had never had a girlfriend. He could be said to be the kind of overlord Peony. Due to family reasons, he was relatively withdrawn. The only girl he got along well with was His sister.
After his sister passed away, He Wen focused all his attention on medicine.
So it's really embarrassing to ask a straight man to say such touching love words.
But He Wen had tried his best to convey his true feelings, and Shalia was slightly stunned.
"I once said that I wanted you to be my partner, but now you are a demon, I am a demon, and I am your creation. I don't know if I can still..."
Race, again race, why do people in this world value this kind of thing so much? He Wen was a little angry. He wanted to preach to Shalia, whether she was a demon, a human or an elf, whether he was a human or a demon.
The prerequisite for being together is always love and nothing else.
But just when he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
"That... um, professor? Are you awake?"
The person outside was Hal. Her voice was very weak and she sounded a little shy. It was obvious that He Wen and Shalia were making too much noise. Maybe half the village knew about it now.
Elder Huck directly ordered that no one be allowed to approach He Wen's house, but this could not stop the public. Rumors had begun in the village about which of the girls the professor had brought with him, which one he liked best.
Some said it was Shireen, because He Wen loved Shireen the most. No matter where he went, he was most concerned about Shireen's safety.
Some said it was Eve. This proud knight princess actually put down her identity as a human to help the orcs fight against her own people. This must be because of love. The professor values love and justice and will definitely respond to this feeling.
Of course, those who talk about Xia Liya are the most. After all, the two of them are still sleeping together. Which of you can overturn this ironclad fact?
Finally, some people brought the topic to Hal.
"Hal, you have to work hard. Lady Eve, Lady Shireen, and Lady Shalia are too far ahead of you. You can't embarrass our orcs."
This sentence was said by Harudo. As Hal's uncle and the biological brother of Hal's father, he naturally hoped that his little niece could find a husband. At first, he was worried that He Wen would look down on these beasts. clan, treating them only as tools and slaves.
But after getting along for a while, He Wen was very kind to every orc, especially when he was treating wounds for the orcs. Although his attitude was very serious and cold, everyone who was treated by him would feel... To He Wen's rigor during treatment.
That was not the treatment of animals, nor the treatment of slaves and servants. He treated them all equally as companions and patients.
If it were Hal in the past, she would definitely dunk on anyone who dared to spread rumors about her.
Even her uncle Harudo would definitely talk back. In fact, when Harudo was still disabled, he persuaded Hal to leave the village and go to the north to find his future and partner.
Hal, of course, refused.
But now, when faced with Uncle Harudo's words, the wolf-eared girl, who had always had a strong sense of self-esteem and stubbornness, lowered her head in a rare move, showing a hint of shyness.
Just like she was standing at the door of He Wen's room at this time, she was very nervous and shy, but something did happen that required He Wen to come forward.
He Wen quickly started to get up and change clothes.
Shalia was still sitting on the bed and yawning.
A few strands of her messy long hair hung in front of her eyes, giving the already beautiful girl an even more messy beauty.
"First, put on your clothes."
He Wen put on his clothes and fixed his cloak. When he saw that Shalia didn't move, he urged her awkwardly.
Unexpectedly, Shalliya smiled at him, and then sat directly on the bed, with her petite, white body as beautiful as the white wall clearly visible.
With a hint of a smirk, she gently raised her feet, her delicate and small toes gently wagging in the air.
"Master, you have absorbed a lot of my strength. Can you change my clothes now?"
