Registro de la matanza de demonios - Capítulo 14
I was speechless, just staring blankly at all the strange things that had happened today, but I couldn't make sense of it at all.
Dinner was served soon, and although it was a sumptuous meal, I couldn't eat. After finally putting down my chopsticks, I pulled Mei Shuixing aside and said to my parents, "Let's go inside and talk things over."
I pulled her directly into my room, closed the door, set up a protective barrier, and then asked, "Miss Mei, what brings you here?"
I received another call from the editor-in-chief before going home.
He asked, "Where are you all? How was it, Ah Qing? Did you have fun?"
"Happy, happy, Editor-in-Chief, Qing and Xiao are having a great time. I had some things to take care of at home, so I came back first."
"What? The two of them are together?" The editor-in-chief's tone seemed a little off.
"What's wrong? Is everything alright?"
"It's nothing. I'm just worried that Xiao will take the opportunity to fawn over Qing."
I laughed and said, "What's wrong? Xiao told me himself that he likes Qing."
“Sigh, what do you know? That kid Xiao is such a womanizer, I’m afraid he’ll cheat on Qing.”
I asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then why do you still want Ah Xiao to play with Ah Qing?"
"Didn't I ask you to go?"
"You called me? Yes, Editor-in-Chief, I was just about to ask you why you called me again. As long as Xiao is with Qing, he's fine. He's better at having fun than me."
“Sigh, silly boy, you don’t even understand this. I only feel at ease with you two, because you’re honest and Ah Xiao is good at playing around. But now that you’ve come back alone, I’m worried again.”
I was stunned for a moment before I understood what the editor-in-chief meant. I almost vomited blood and asked, "You want me to play with A-Qing because I'm old?"
“Yes, if you play with A-Qing, you can protect her from A-Xiao’s tricks. I was going to give you a red envelope later, but now you’ve come back on your own…”
I didn't have the strength to listen anymore; it was an insult to me.
Suddenly, I remembered something and wanted to confirm it, so I asked, "Editor-in-Chief, do you still remember the incident of Ah Xiao sleeping?"
"Xiao is sleeping? What time is he? During working hours! This is outrageous! I'm docking his pay."
"No, no, he's sleeping at home."
"Sleep at home, Ah Ming, do you know what you're saying?"
I understood somewhat, and quickly said, "It's nothing, I'm a little tired, I don't even know what I'm saying, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
"Okay, then you get some rest. I'll call them and have Ah Xiao take Ah Qing home."
As soon as I finally stepped inside the house, my dad ran up to me with a beaming smile and said, "Ah Ming, why are you only coming back now? There's a girl waiting for you."
"A girl?" My inner alarm bells rang. "Who?"
When I ran into the house, I saw my mother talking to a woman in a green dress.
My mother smiled as soon as she saw me and said, "Ah Ming, Miss Mei has been waiting for you for ages."
The woman stood up and turned around. I almost fainted. She was none other than Huan Ji Mei Shui Xing.
I blurted out, "How did you end up in my house?"
Mom frowned and said, "Ah Ming, what are you saying? Miss Mei came here specifically to see you."
I calmed myself down and put on a big smile, saying, "Ah, I'm so happy and surprised. Miss Mei, have you eaten yet?"
She looked at me with amusement, but said, "No, I came here today specifically to taste your cooking."
My mom beamed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go prepare right away. You two talk, you two talk."
She said, "I'll help."
My mom said, "No need, no need, please sit down."
“That won’t do. How can I just eat for free? I have to do something.” It would be good if I could learn something from your aunt.
Then the two of them happily went to the kitchen to cook, and their dad came over and whispered with a smile, "Not bad, kid, your girlfriend is so pretty."
My mind was in turmoil, and I could only say, "She's not my girlfriend."
“Still denying it? They’ve already come to our house, kid, what are you and your dad embarrassed about?”
I was speechless, just staring blankly at all the strange things that had happened today, but I couldn't make sense of it at all.
Dinner was served soon, and although it was a sumptuous meal, I couldn't eat. After finally putting down my chopsticks, I pulled Mei Shuixing aside and said to my parents, "Let's go inside and talk things over."
I pulled her directly into my room, closed the door, set up a protective barrier, and then asked, "Miss Mei, what brings you here?"
She smiled seductively. Completely different from her gentle and virtuous demeanor in the living room just moments before, she was now a mature and alluring woman, captivating to the bone.
"What, you don't welcome me?" Her voice was sweet and coquettish, making my heart flutter.
I swallowed hard, trying to remain calm, and said, "No, but isn't the matter of the Demon Realm no longer my concern? Why are you looking for me again?"
She stepped forward and said, "The Demon Realm has nothing to do with you, but why can't I have something to do with you?"
I stepped back and said, "Relationship? What relationship?"
She slowly walked towards me and said, "What do you think?"
Then it dawned on me, and I quickly said, "Oh, right, I have something else to ask you."
She was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What is it?"
"About Pei Qing?"
“Her?” she asked, looking at me. “What happened to her?”
"Didn't you say that all information about her would disappear and that she was already dead? Why did I see her again today, and why did the editor-in-chief remember her?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that Chu Luyu wants to continue her cultivation in the mortal realm."
"Is it that simple? Does she still remember anything about the Demon Realm?"
"Of course I don't remember. It took me a lot of effort to change people's memories."
"I see."
"Is there anything else?" I don't know when she came up to me again, her hand sliding over my clothes.
My heart felt like it was on fire. Though I didn't want to, I took a step back and said, "Miss Mei, what brings you here?"
"I want to have something to do with you."
"What kind of relationship?"
“Don’t you remember? Didn’t I ask you—can I be your girlfriend, Senior Brother A-Ming?” She whispered the last four words in my ear, her voice so gentle and alluring that my ears felt like they were on fire.
"But, but..."
"But what? Don't you like me?"
“But you approached me because of Cheng Lang, and now that Cheng Lang is no longer inside me, why do you still do this?”
"Who said I approached you because of Cheng Lang? I approached you simply because you are you."
"I am me, why? I don't quite believe it, and to be honest, we're not that close..."
Before I could finish speaking, she had already sealed my lips with hers. My blood rushed to my face, and my whole body felt like it was about to explode. Her delicate tongue swirled nimbly in my mouth, and her arms tightly encircled my shoulders. Without realizing it, I began to respond, passionately and fiercely kissing her back, my hands excitedly groping her body...
Before we knew it, we were on the bed. I lay naked, trembling as I caressed her fair, jade-like skin. Her red lips left marks on my body…
Everything made me feel like I was in a dream, so full of boundless springtime beauty, so intensely passionate. But…
Her lips brushed against my ear, her slender fingers gently touched my body, and she suddenly whispered, "Do you still remember all of this, Ah Xun?"
I sensed something was wrong and mumbled, "What?"
"I've been looking for you for so long, Ah Xun."
I snapped awake, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over me, instantly extinguishing the fire in my heart. I jumped up and hastily grabbed my clothes and put them on.
She was a little dazed, a little angry, and a little confused when she asked, "What's wrong with you? What are you doing?"
I took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I think you mistook me for someone else, and I don't want to be someone else's substitute all the time."
She said angrily, "I only see you as myself, how could I see you as someone else's substitute?"
I sneered, "No, what do you take me for, Ah Xun?"
She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's what you're angry about. Do you even know who Ah Xun is?"
I smiled and said, "I could guess, but I'm not him."
"Guessed? You guessed what? Actually, he's yours..."
“My past life,” I replied.
She looked at me with some surprise, then nodded and said, "That's right, you guessed it after all. So why are you still angry?"
"I'm not angry, I just don't want you to think of me as him."
"But..."
“Even if he is my past life, it has nothing to do with me, do you understand? He has his life, and I have mine. I don’t know what happened between you two, and I don’t want to know, but I absolutely do not want his life to affect me. Miss Mei, you approached me not because I am Qu Ming in this life, but because of A Xun in the past life. I cannot accept that.”
She listened in silence for a while before slowly saying, "I understand what you mean, but he made a promise to me for this lifetime. Shouldn't I ask you to fulfill it?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "But I'm not him, I can't fulfill the promise he made to you."
She smiled wryly and nodded, saying, "That's right, you're not him."
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright, I just regret that you don't have memories of your past life."
I didn't know how to answer her.
She suddenly asked me, "Qu Ming, what would have happened if I hadn't called A-Xun's name just now?"
My face flushed slightly as I said, "I guess I'll be just like all men and women in the world."
"So you like me a little."
I said sincerely, "You are incredibly alluring to me; you are every man's fantasy."
She laughed and said, "Now I'm starting to like you a little because you're A-Ming."
I smiled at her, and she suddenly burst into tears, saying, "Why aren't you him?"
