It seemed that after every disaster, the world would usher in a period of good weather, which was like a reward from nature for human beings waking up, and it was also like the beauty condensed from hope. In the few days after Fan Chen came back, every day was sunny, and the weather was so warm that it seemed like they were back in early spring.

Mi Wan was sitting under the tree, writing something seriously. There were dense leaves above her head, and the sun was falling on her from time to time, as if someone was doing it deliberately to attract her attention.

“Oh, I told you, don’t let the sun fall on my laptop, it will hurt my eyes.” When the sunlight fell on her laptop for the third time, Mi Wan patted the big tree behind her dissatisfiedly.

And as she finished speaking, the leaves moved loudly, densely covering the light and shadow in front of Mi Wan.

“You’ve been writing for more than two hours. Get up and move.” Fan Chen’s voice came.

“I’m almost done. Let’s talk after I finish.” Mi Wan continued to tap on the keyboard with her ten fingers without raising her head.

“What brand of laptop is yours? It has such a long battery life and it still has power after such a long time?” Fan Chen asked curiously.

“I have a power bank.”

“Isn’t the power bank for charging mobile phones?”

“This power bank is special. It can charge laptops, and it’s solar powered. I don’t know where Assistant Quan got it from. It’s such a good thing.” In order to prevent Mi Wan from being bored, Quan Juncai not only sent someone to deliver three meals to Mi Wan on time, but also considered her needing to charge battery very carefully.

Why is this damn fox so thoughtful? Fan Chen shook the leaves dissatisfied.

“Are you bored? Wait for me for ten minutes. I’ll finish it in ten minutes. Then I’ll chat with you.” Mi Wan glanced at the rustling leaves above her head and said soothingly.

“Yes.” Fan Chen was satisfied and calmed down again. The branches and leaves spread out and he continued to bask in the sun with peace of mind.

When the wind blew for the 108th time, Mi Wan finally completed the work in her hands. She stretched her body, raised her hands high, and bent greatly. At this time, a powerful branch suddenly fell from between the trees, wrapped up the mineral water on the side, and handed it to Mi Wan.

“Thank you.” Mi Wan smiled, reached out to take it, then held the branch, brought it to her lips and kissed it like a reward.

The branches curled slightly, and then with a brush, more branches stretched, and they all fell in front of Mi Wan’s eyes. The meaning of the scrambling look was self-evident.

Mi Wan slapped them down angrily, and scolded with a smile: “You have so many branches, are you going to tire me to death?”

Fan Chen chuckled, then wrapped his branches around the girl’s waist, and rolled her up, placing her on a thick branch.

Mi Wan had become accustomed to such behavior. While she unscrewed the ice cap to drink water, she asked curiously: “Which part of your body is this?”

The first time, Fan Chen hugged her and transformed. At that time, she sat in Fan Chen’s arms. Later, every time Fan Chen brought her up, he would change to a different place, and every time Mi Wan would curiously ask which part of Fan Chen’s body the branch she was on corresponded to.

“Shoulder.” Fan Chen replied.

“No wonder it’s so high.” Sitting in this position, she could easily see the entirety of the park.

“The wind at this height is very comfortable.” Fan Chen said. This was the reason why he brought Mi Wan up.

Mi Wan squinted her eyes comfortably, letting the breeze blow the ends of her hair and the hem of her clothes, and her body swayed slightly, as if she herself was a leaf.

While she was shaking, a branch quietly separated from the trunk and lightly wrapped around Mi Wan’s waist, giving her a layer of insurance.

Mi Wan lowered her head and looked at the light branch at her waist. She pursed her lips happily. Then she turned around and looked at the huge tree trunk on her left. Then, she suddenly stood up and walked over quickly.

There should be a face next to the shoulder, Mi Wan thought, then she leaned over and gently kissed the tree trunk.

In an instant, the entire tree trembled, and huge demonic power spread throughout the entire park along the roots of the tree. All the flowers that had different flowering periods and alternated with the four seasons were in full bloom in an instant.

“I knew it. Fortunately, I closed the door in advance.” Quan Juncai looked at the scene in front of him very calmly.

The gardeners were also very calm. They stopped what they were doing and waited quietly on the spot. After about two minutes, the demonic power gradually receded, and the flowers and plants returned to their original state. Immediately, they continued taking care of the flowers and plants.

“Wan Wan, don’t move.” Fan Chen said painfully.

“What’s wrong with you?” Mi Wan noticed that Fan Chen’s voice was wrong and immediately became nervous, “Did I touch a place I shouldn’t have touched? No, the shoulder should be next to the face.

“Who told you the face is next to the shoulder? Isn’t it the neck?” Fan Chen was speechless.

“Is that right?” Mi Wan looked down at her shoulders, and then reacted, “It’s the neck.”

Yes, it was the neck, and when he noticed Mi Wan’s approach, he subconsciously turned his head, so at that moment, Mi Wan kissed his Adam’s apple exactly. How do you describe that feeling? He was so shocked that he even forgot about photosynthesis.

“Did it tickle you?” Mi Wan chuckled. Her neck was very sensitive, and many people would be itchy if touched lightly.

“Stay well and don’t move. When I regain my human body, you can kiss me as you like.” Fan Chen pulled the branch hanging around Mi Wan’s waist and sent her back to her original position.

Mi Wan didn’t make any fuss anymore. She sat obediently and continued to enjoy the air.

“You don’t have to be so anxious to sort out the pharmacopoeia, just take your time.” In the past few days, Mi Wan, besides accompanying him, had been sorting out the pharmacopoeia for treating demons.

“I know.” Mi Wan replied, “What I’m writing now are all the initial treatment methods. I thought it was quite easy, but who knew it would be so complicated to write it out systematically and in detail.”

Some things, you have to do it yourself. Once you master it and know it, using it may just be a matter of thought. But if you want to sort out this knowledge systematically, taking into account various conditions, it will be an extremely huge project.

“I only wrote about how to treat general trauma for demons, and it took me two days to write.” Mi Wan said, “Speaking of trauma, I really envy you demons. No matter how injured you are, as long as the demon core is fine, everything will be fine, and you can repair yourself while you sleep. Plant-like demons are even more powerful, you just need to bask in the sun.”

“Then don’t write it, anyway, we can get better on our own.” Fan Chen said.

“It still needs to be written.” Mi Wan said firmly, “Although you demons can heal wounds on your own, healing also takes time. If we help with treatment, you will recover faster and the pain will be less.”

Fan Chen didn’t say anything, but gently rubbed Mi Wan’s face with leaves. He knew that Mi Wan hadn’t gotten over the guilt of his injury yet.

“Although the self-healing ability of your demon clan is incomparable to that of our demon hunters, there is one thing about us demon hunters that is better than your demon clan.” Mi Wan suddenly said again.

“Which point?” Fan Chen asked cooperatively.

“Fertility rate~~” Mi Wan said, “When I was sorting out the pharmacopoeia in the past two days, I discovered one thing. My master once told me that the more powerful your demon race is, the lower the fertility rate will be. The king seems to have never had descendants.”

“…” Fan Chen shook the leaves and reminded in a complex tone, “I am also the Demon King.”

Mi Wan was startled, yes, Fan Chen was also the Demon King, wouldn’t that mean that in the future? She also…

Realizing this, Mi Wan sighed deeply, then patted the branch under her butt as if accepting her fate, and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t dislike you even if you are infertile.”

“Thank you very much.” Fan Chen was speechless.

Mi Wan smiled and lay down on her side. She looked up at the dense leaves above her head. This was the leaf of Jianmu, a legendary existence. It was the only sacred tree in heaven and earth. Even if Fan Chen was not the Demon King, nature would never allow a second Jianmu to appear.

Fan Chen thought Mi Wan was sleepy, so he hung countless branches and large leaves over her, surrounding the person, forming a natural quilt.

“Fan Chen.” Mi Wan held one of the branches.

“Huh?” Fan Chen responded softly.

“I will practice hard, exercise every day, eat well, and sleep well.” Mi Wan suddenly said.

“Well, this is a good habit, remember to keep it.” Fan Chen agreed.

“I heard from my master that my great master lived to be one hundred and twenty-eight years old.”

The branches and leaves paused for a moment before continuing to swing: “Really?”

“Yes, so I think it will not be a problem for me to live to be one hundred and twenty-eight years old. I’m only twenty years old.” Mi Wan said confidently.

“Then I’ll be relieved.”

“I think if I work harder, I might be able to survive until you fall asleep.” Mi Wan said again.

“Yeah.” Naturally, the longer his Wan Wan lived, the better.

“So, can you promise me something?” Mi Wan tightly grasped the branch in her hand, “If I die before you fall asleep, you will cremate me, and then when you are going to sleep, take me there and sprinkle me into your roots.” Jianmu’s branches and leaves swayed in an orderly manner, seemingly not surprised.

“If I live until you fall asleep, you can take me to sleep with you.” Mi Wan’s eyes were bright, “No matter what happens, I can accompany you.”

“Wan Wan, the reason why my soul can be sealed for five hundred years and will not be reincarnated is because I am awake. Once I enter deep sleep, my instinct will follow the laws of nature and I will no longer be able to lock your soul.” Fan Chen said softly, “Besides, I don’t want to lock your soul. Although the human life span is short, it is wonderful. Although you may not be the same after reincarnation, as long as I know that you are in this world every time I wake up in the future, I will be happier. I will also work harder to protect this world.”

“Oh~~” Mi Wan closed her eyes in despair.

“But I can still agree to your two requests.” Fan Chen suddenly said, “Although I can’t take away your soul, I can still take away your body. If you live longer than when I am about to fall asleep, I won’t care if you are still in good health at that time, I will take you away directly and let you sleep with me in this life.”

“Oh~~” Mi Wan said again, and then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she fell asleep peacefully.

Another gust of wind came, and the branches fell gently, brushing against the girl’s cheek.
