Gods: Start with Goblins

.Luodan raised his head and saw Xiaobai lying on the bed.

Her expression was still as cold as before, just like the last time Luo Dan saw him.

"Speaking of which, before she left me, I saw that her eyes seemed to turn red. Do you know what happened?"

The Peach Blossom Demon was stunned for a moment, then frowned in confusion, and shook his head after a while.

"I don't know either. I've never encountered anything like this. Why don't you wait until she wakes up and ask her what's going on?"

Luodan looked at Xiaobai who was still lying on the bed and nodded.

Because Xiaobai can't leave now, Luodan plans to rest here for a while.

From day to night, the stars have already climbed up into the sky.

Luo Dan went to bring some food into the room, and the aroma of food filled the air.

The little white nose, which had kept its eyes closed, moved.

Luo Dan watched her with interest, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was unwilling to open her eyes.

"What's wrong? Why don't you get up? Are you not hungry after not eating for so long? Or do you no longer know how to face me?"

Luo Dan's teasing words fell into Xiaobai's ears, and Xiaobai clenched and unclenched his fists slightly.

However, she also knew that her tiny movement would definitely not escape Luodan's eyes, so she opened her eyes helplessly and looked at Luodan.

Luodan was holding food in his hand and looked at Xiaobai with a smile on his face. He didn't feel any embarrassment when he saw Xiaobai wake up.

He naturally took a pair of chopsticks and handed the bowl to Xiaobai.

"Eat something, or you'll feel hungry and uncomfortable later."

Xiaobai didn't expect that Luodan could treat him so calmly after knowing everything.

She originally thought that Luo Dan had only two attitudes.

One was trying his best to explain to himself, while the other was using a contract to force himself to stay with him.

But now it seems that I have merely inherited my mother's memories, so I feel disgust towards humans.

But...ever since he could remember, Luo Dan seemed to have never done anything to let her down, and these were all facts.

"Thank you."

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he took the bowl of rice and started eating it bite by bite.

She ate very slowly, and the more she ate, the more tears filled her eyes.

After she knew what her mother had gone through, she couldn't forgive Luodan all of a sudden.

But Luo Dan never did anything excessive to her.

Perhaps regarding the matter with his mother, I should really try to understand him from Luodan's perspective.

Luodan looked at Xiaobai eating obediently, tears welling up in his eyes. He shook his head helplessly, then put his hand on her head and rubbed it gently.

"Don't think too much. No matter what choice you make, I can accept it, and I also hope that you can be happy."

"I'm sorry about your mother, but I had no other choice at the time. She was at the end of her strength. If possible, I hope she can survive..."

When Luodan said this, his eyes seemed to see someone through Xiaobai.

He sighed.

Although she and Jiu Niangzi had only known each other for a short time, if Jiu Niangzi had been treated well in the beginning, she would not have gone astray and would not have walked down this path.

"Okay, let's not talk about those things anymore. They are all in the past. I think this is my mother's choice and her life."

After hearing her words, Luo Dan raised his head and looked at her seriously, waiting for Xiao Bai's next answer.

Xiaobai suddenly noticed Luodan's gaze towards him, and he pursed his lips for a moment before speaking again.

"As for me, I think I have the right to choose my own life. She was deceived because she didn't know people well, but I... I believe in you, Luo Dan."

After receiving Xiaobai's affirmation, Luodan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He thought of many possibilities, and of course he also thought of the possibility that Xiaobai would stay with him.

When things really happened as he expected, it was undeniable that Luodan was happy.

"Well, since you choose to trust me after knowing all this, I will definitely not let you down."

After Xiaobai finished his meal, Luodan took him to say goodbye to the Peach Blossom Demon.

However, this time the Peach Blossom Demon did not reveal its true form, so they just said goodbye to the Peach Blossom Demon under the peach tree.

Bringing Xiaobai back to the inn, Xiaobai was obviously in a much better mood than yesterday. She looked at Luodan who was about to go back to the room, hesitated for a few seconds and tried to persuade him to stay.

"Luo Dan, I was wrong about what happened yesterday. Could you please come to my room when you are free tonight? I want to clear up yesterday's misunderstanding with you."

Luodan was also very happy that Xiaobai realized the importance of communication, and immediately nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then you go back and rest first, I'll come find you later."

Xiaobai went back to his room and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky outside. He thought about how he had been struggling since last night.

Ever since she ate the spiritual fruit in the secret realm last time, some fragmentary memories seemed to have emerged in her memory.

That was when she hadn't opened her eyes yet, and she had a vague perception of the outside world.

It was after she ate the spiritual fruit that she became very conflicted about her attitude towards Luodan.

Fortunately, Luo Dan has proved to her with his actions that he will not hurt himself, and this result is enough.

As for the future? We'll see.

Soon after, Luo Dan took steady steps and gently pushed open Xiao Bai's door. In the room, the soft light sprinkled on Xiao Bai's slightly pale face, adding a bit of gentleness to her. The two sat facing each other, and Luo Dan's eyes were full of concern and understanding.

In a warm atmosphere, they began an in-depth conversation. Luodan listened to Xiaobai's inner voice, feeling her inner struggle and anxiety. He gently patted her back and gave her the most sincere comfort and encouragement. With Luodan's patient listening and sincere care, Xiaobai gradually let go of her guard and began to open her heart to talk about her troubles and worries.

As time went by, Xiaobai's heart knot was slowly untied with Luodan's company. She felt Luodan's warmth and care, and regained her confidence and courage. The conversation between the two became more and more relaxed, and laughter often echoed in the room. In the end, Xiaobai completely got rid of the haze in her heart and welcomed a bright future with Luodan.

"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll take you to the street. You haven't had a good meal since you came here. It's a good opportunity to try some human food."

Xiaobai smiled, a smile from the heart

She was worried, thinking that after that incident, Luo Dan would be like a flower attacked by snow, and would be resentful of her and no longer treat her as gently as before. However, the passage of time was like a gentle spring breeze, gradually blowing away her doubts. She found that Luo Dan's eyes were still as bright as stars, and his care and tenderness towards her had not diminished at all. She realized that her previous worries were just unnecessary worries, and Luo Dan's sincerity and tolerance had already surpassed her imagination.

"Okay, you should have a good rest too."

Luodan got up early the next morning. He was ready to go and he could hear Xiaobai getting up in the next room.

After both of them finished packing, Luodan took Xiaobai to the street.

On the street, Xiaobai really found several things he liked and wanted to eat.

She had no burden in her heart at all, she pointed here and there, with undisguised happiness in her eyes.

When Luo Dan saw her like this, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

When there is no more barrier between the two hearts, and each other's secrets are melted by the warm sunshine, leaving only transparency and honesty, then they can be said to have truly accepted each other and ushered in the sacred moment of heart-to-heart communication. At this moment, their hearts seem to blend together, and their understanding and trust are like a solid bridge connecting their deepest emotions. Only when there are no other secrets between them and they truly accept each other, can they truly open their hearts. They know that no matter what challenges and difficulties they will face in the future, they will work together to overcome every difficulty together.

Just as Luodan handed a piece of osmanthus cake to Xiaobai, he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the street.

"Your mother can't support you anymore, so why don't you just follow me? I can give you money to treat your mother's illness."

An obscene laugh came from the other side of the street, and the originally noisy street became much quieter.

Luo Dan turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

A man in brocade clothes was shouting at several strong men, who surrounded a woman carrying a basket of vegetables. "I will never follow you even if I die, and you don't need to interfere with my mother's illness!"

The woman kept backing away, looking for help from others around her.

But the others did not dare to offend Prince Wang by helping the girl at this time, so they all kept silent and pretended not to see anything and left.

Luo Dan understood what was going on at a glance.

Isn't this just a pure drama of a strong woman and a common woman? Logically, I should be the hero who saves the beauty next.

But sorry, he refused.

Luo Dan pretended not to see it and continued to pick cakes.

This approach surprised Xiaobai a little.

After all, she had always thought that Luo Dan was a man who took it as his responsibility to save the world. Now that he encountered such a thing, he turned a blind eye to it, which was not his style.

However, she did not ask Luodan why he ignored her. Instead, she took the piece of cake that Luodan handed over and started eating.

"Master Wang, I really can't follow you. Please let me go. My old mother at home is still waiting for me to take care of her."

Cui'er said as she backed away, her eyes full of tears.

Wang Wuyi, who was called Master Wang, squinted his eyes and looked at Cui'er. His gaze stayed on her fair face for more than ten seconds, and suddenly he smiled.

"I don't know what I did wrong, but you actually left someone like me alone and even said you would rather die than follow me."

"That's fine. I'm not the kind of person who forces others. If you don't want to, then forget it."

When Cui'er heard Wang Wuyi's words, her eyes lit up. She thought that Wang Wuyi would really let her go so easily.

But before she could thank Wang Wu, Wang Wu's next words instantly made her fair face lose the color.

"I can stop pestering you, but I like your face. If you take the initiative to mess up your face, I promise to never pester you again."

What Wang Wuyi said seemed very ordinary, but in fact, everyone felt a chill in their ears.

After all, if someone says this to others, they will disfigure themselves, but they say it so easily. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a person?

The main reason is that Wang Wuyi's family is very large, and it is indeed a powerful family that can cover the sky with one hand. No one dares to provoke the domineering Wang Wuyi.

After Wang Wu finished speaking, he casually pulled out a dagger and threw it in front of Cui'er.

The amusement in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

He raised his eyebrows and repeated his words again.

"What's wrong? You don't even dare to do this, and you said you would rather die than follow me?"

His words were so extreme that even some people nearby couldn't help themselves.

Cui'er treated them very well. Although her family was a little poor, she was always polite to everyone.

So everyone treated her with great care.

Everyone knew that Young Master Wang had been pestering Cui'er for a long time, but because of Young Master Wang's status, no one said anything.

But if we just sit back and do nothing now, I'm afraid that next time Prince Wang will not disfigure the girl he likes, but let her commit suicide.

Cui'er didn't want to involve others, although she also hoped that someone among the people watching nearby would come out to rescue her and help her out.

But no one would dare to openly confront Prince Wang.

So if it is your appearance that brings you this misfortune, then just destroy it. There is nothing wrong with thinking this way.

Cui'er picked up the dagger on the ground and held it next to her face. Her fair face formed a sharp contrast with the sharp and hard knife.

A big part of the reason why she didn't dare to resist Prince Wang was that she didn't have the ability to do so, but more importantly, she had a mother at home who needed her care.

I can fight him, even if I die it doesn't matter.

But if her mother were to be implicated by Prince Wang and his men because of what she had done, that would be something Cui'er wouldn't want to see even in the underworld.

So she made up her mind and prepared to cut her face with the knife.

At this moment, she suddenly felt someone grabbing her hand and she could not move forward at all.

Cui'er quietly opened her eyes and saw a tall figure standing in front of her.

Luodan stood against the light, with some pastry crumbs around his mouth.

"Is this a big deal? It's not your fault that you're beautiful. Why should you be the one to pay the price instead of someone else?"

Young Master Wang didn't expect that someone he had never seen in the town would ruin his good deeds.

He clenched his fists, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Luodan with an unfriendly expression.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you ruin my good deeds!"

Luo Dan glanced indifferently at Wang Wuyi, who was dressed in brocade clothes, and sneered.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't need to know who you are. So do you know who I am?"

Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"who are you?"

The next second, Luo Dan's figure flashed in front of him, and was almost there, leaving only an afterimage.

Before Wang Wuyi could react, Luo Dan appeared in front of him, clenched his fists and hit Wang Wuyi in the face.

Wang Wuyi couldn't take Luo Dan's punch at all, and was knocked away by just a punch without any spiritual power attached.

Wang Wuyi himself had already embarked on the path of cultivation, but he was unable to react in time to the sudden attack and did not use his spiritual power to defend himself.

He covered his bloody mouth with disbelief in his eyes.

"How dare you hit me?"

Luo Dan ignored the hatred in his eyes, took a few steps forward and looked down at Wang Wuyi.

"Why shouldn't I hit you?"

The big men nearby looked at each other in bewilderment. They were sent to protect Wang Wuyi, but the current situation left them a little confused.

Until Wang Wu clenched his hand into a fist and yelled at the people around him.

"Are you all pigs? He hit me, and you didn't hit me back!"

These big men just reacted, and relying on their numbers, three or four of them attacked Luodan at the same time.

But who is Luodan? He didn't take these minions seriously at all and dodged their attacks with a few flashes.

And without dodging a man's attack, he punched him hard in the abdomen.

In just a matter of breaths, the big men who were protecting Wang Wuyi were already on the ground, holding their stomachs and wailing in pain.

"With your limited strength, you dare to come and rob me. Don't you know what kind of person you are?"

Luodan clapped his hands, as if he was disgusted by the dust left on them after the beating.

"I'll let you off this time, but if I find you again next time, I'll make sure you pay the price."

After Luo Dan finished speaking, he looked at Cui'er who was standing there in a daze.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?" (End of this chapter)
