The young man was initially worried, but after hearing what she said, he felt relieved. “It’s normal; one can only suppress the deathly aura inside me, can’t completely remove it.”
So strange!
Huang Quan asked, “How can this be?”
Her life energy should be able to devour the deathly aura within him!
“Some say it’s a curse,” the young man said with a gloomy expression. “Without breaking the curse, the deathly aura won’t completely disappear, and one day, I will die because of this deathly aura.”
“Hmm…” Huang Quan thought for a moment and said, “If you hadn’t met me, you might have died, but since you’ve encountered me, I’m confident that I won’t let you die.”
The young man looked at her and asked, “What do you mean?”
“If I’m not mistaken, your deathly aura has a specific time of onset. I can help you devour the deathly aura when it flares up, so you won’t suffer and can safely get through the onset period.”
This way, she could save herself while saving others.
With the deathly aura, she wouldn’t have to worry about her life energy going out of control.
She could both save others and herself, perfect!
The young man stared at her for a long time without speaking.
Huang Quan wasn’t in a hurry and said gently, “I don’t even know who you are; you don’t need to worry that I’m saving you for some ulterior motive.”
The young man pursed his lips and, after a while, asked, “Then why are you saving me?”
Huang Quan smiled, “Because I’m a good person.”
The young man: “… You’re a good person?”
A good person who breaks people’s throats without blinking an eye?
The young man looked at Huang Quan with a very complex expression. “I don’t believe it.”
The young man said, “There are no such things as good people in this world.”
“Okay, I give up.” Huang Quan let go of the young man’s hand and gently cradled his face with her hands, brimming with fresh and lively life energy, as if holding a precious treasure.
Huang Quan looked at the young man and said seriously, “You’re too good-looking, and I like good-looking people. That’s the reason I saved you.”
The young man asked, “…Just because I’m good-looking?”
Just because of this face?
Huang Quan nodded earnestly, “Yes.”
The young man: “…” His emotions were very complex, too complex. After living for so many years, he had never imagined that one day he would be saved because of his appearance.
At this moment, the young man didn’t notice the relaxation in his own heart. Even without the deathly aura and the ability to touch people, he didn’t like others touching his face. But now, being cradled so carefully by Huang Quan, he didn’t feel any disgust.
“Take your time to think about it,” Huang Quan withdrew her hand and continued to transmit her life energy to the young man by holding his hand, just as she had done before. “Think it over before you answer.”
The young man looked at her and asked, “Are you really not making any other demands?”
Upon hearing this, Huang Quan was about to shake her head when she suddenly thought of something and said, “You have to stay by my side so that I can save you immediately when your deathly aura flares up.” This way, she could collect the deathly aura promptly to suppress her own life energy.
Saving people and collecting deathly aura were not in conflict.
The young man, with his eyes half-lidded, concealed the fleeting glimmer in his eyes and said, “I can stay by your side, but there will be times when I have to leave.”
“As long as you agree, it’s fine,” Huang Quan replied. “You can go do whatever you need to occasionally, and you don’t have to worry about me disagreeing. Just make sure to come back when the deathly aura flares up, or you’ll be the one suffering.”
After hearing this, the young man smiled and said, “Alright, I agree.”
