[A Quiet Life’s Guardian + Accidental Nurturing + A Fairy Descends from the Heavens]
I guarded the demonic sect for a thousand years, my heart as still as water.
That was until she, a future celestial immortal, burst into my world.
From then on, the mountain breeze had color, and the clouds and mist took shape.
She thought she was Lady Luck, never knowing that I was behind her every time she escaped danger.
She thought she was naturally gifted, never knowing that every dazzling performance came from the spiritual energy flowing at my fingertips.
“Mr. Gu, are you an immortal?” she asked, tilting up her little face, her eyes full of reverence.
“No.” I kept a cold expression as I silently shielded her from a falling branch.
“Then why are you always helping me?”
“...The mountain path is treacherous. I don’t want you dying and disturbing my peace.”
My words said I couldn’t stand her, but my actions told a different story.
When she trended online, I cut off the prying eyes.
When she filmed night scenes, I cleared the miasma from the woods.
When she filmed on a jade-cold bed, I... sigh, I secretly lent her a wisp of the sealed cold qi after all.
Years later, she stood at the summit, gazing toward my mountain.
And I had long since become unable to leave behind the figure that made my heart race.
