Catch the Monster but Not the Heart

Gentle and delicate rabbit monster × cool young monster catcher He has caught all the monsters in the world, but he has not caught his own heart. She kept her love for her whole life, but after all, she could not keep him in the world. After practicing in the mountains for hundreds of years, the rabbit demon Lianxiao finally transformed into a human form. She has a gentle and attentive sister Lianzhu, who warns her every day: There are many dangers in the world, and there are also demon hunters who can kill demons, so she must not go down the mountain easily. But she was born with a simple mind and was curious to the core of the world's lanterns, streets, and fireworks. When her sister wasn't paying attention, she sneaked out of the forest and set foot on human land for the first time. Everything is fresh and joyful, even the candy cakes on the roadside are the most delicious in the world. She didn't know how to restrain the faint demonic aura in her body, jumping up and down without any defense. As soon as he raised his head, he ran into a pair of eyes as cold as cold jade. The young man in front of him was dressed in plain clothes, with a sword on his waist, and a fierce temperament. He was none other than Tang Yan, the young demon catcher who made all the demons fearful. With just one glance, Tang Yan saw through her demon body. The long sword was unsheathed, the spiritual energy was locked, and the movements were crisp and clear. Lianxiao was so frightened that her ears almost popped out of her hair. She huddled up and shivered, thinking that she was about to die under the demon-catching sword as soon as she transformed into a human form. She cried and begged for mercy, saying that she had never harmed anyone, that it was only her first time going down the mountain, and that she would never dare again. According to Tang Yan's past temperament, monsters are monsters and will never show mercy. But seeing the little demon in front of him with his eyes red and frightened, his whole body weak, and unable to even resist, he paused inexplicably with the hand holding the sword. There is not a trace of violence in her body, she has never eaten anyone, she has never been injured, and she is as clean as a handful of snow in the mountains. By some strange coincidence, he sheathed his sword. He didn't kill her, nor beat her back to her original form, nor did he suppress her and take her into custody. He just said lightly: "Follow me." Then he took this ignorant and frightened little rabbit demon back to his home. Others were puzzled and asked him why he kept a demon by his side. Tang Yan only said in a cold voice: "This demon is simple-minded. Keep an eye on it so as to warn the world that demons are not all evil, and people are not all good." Only he knew that that moment of soft-heartedness had already broken his years of rules. From then on, beside the cold-faced and taciturn young demon hunter, there was a little rabbit demon who never left his side. At first, Lianxiao was extremely afraid of him. Afraid that he would be angry, afraid that he would draw his sword, afraid that one day he would regret it and get rid of her. But as she gradually got along with him, she realized that this monster hunter didn't seem that scary after all. She was afraid of the dark, so he left a light outside her house; She was greedy for human snacks, and when he went out to slay demons, he would calmly bring her back a bag of candy cakes; She didn't understand the rules of the world and got into a little trouble. He scolded her with a cold face, but turned around and solved the trouble for her; There were other demon hunters who wanted to attack her, but he stood in front of her and said calmly: "Who dares to touch my demon?" He taught her the principles of the world, taught her how to hide evil spirits, and taught her how to survive peacefully in the world. He never let her touch anything dangerous, never let her suffer even the slightest injustice. He talks about "different paths for human beings" every day, but in action he makes all exceptions for her. Lianxiao's heart softened a little bit. From the initial fear, it turned into dependence, and then into secret joy that could not be hidden. She would sit quietly and wait for him while he was practicing his swordplay late at night; When he gets hurt, he will clumsily bandage his wounds and say with tears, don't get hurt again; When he is pretending to be serious with a cold face, he will gently pull his sleeves to make him happy. She is a demon, she doesn't know what love is, she only knows: She felt at ease being with Tang Yan. She would get flustered if she couldn't see him. When he smiles at her, she can be happy all day long. And Tang Yan's heart, which had always been firm and true to the truth, was quietly breaking apart in the day-to-day interactions. He has seen countless monsters, ferocious, cunning, and bloodthirsty, but this one is clean, pure, and full of him. He caught all the monsters in the world and killed all the evil in the world, but he couldn't do anything to her. He told himself that he couldn't. Humans and demons have different paths, and the Taoist heart cannot be broken. But every time she was in danger, he would be desperate; every time she relied on him, his heart would be in chaos. He finally admitted—— He was able to defeat demons and keep the Tao, but he failed to keep his own heart. Together they watch spring flowers bloom, summer cicadas chirp, autumn leaves fall, and winter snow falls in the human world. We walked along the long street together, had simple meals together, and talked together late at night. He is a monster hunter, and she is a monster. They are naturally opposites, but they have become the most gentle couple in the world. They thought that life like this could go on forever. Little did he know that a pair of demonic eyes that had coveted Lianxiao for many years were already burning with jealousy in the dark. The big demon had been secretly in love with Lianxiao for a long time. When he saw that she was a human demon hunter with all his heart and eyes, and that she was protected by Tang Yan and smiling softly, he was already crazy with jealousy and hatred. He couldn't tolerate Lianxiao falling in love with someone else, and he couldn't tolerate a mere human being occupying all the thoughts of his beloved little demon. On a stormy night, the big demon took action boldly. He wants to kill Tang Yan and destroy everything. Tang Yan is just a young human. No matter how high his cultivation level is, he can't defeat the thousand-year-old demon. In order to protect Lianxiao who was unable to fight back behind him, he used all his spiritual power to fight with his life, and finally died at the hands of the big demon. The young monster hunter died in the year when he was protecting her the most. At the last moment when he fell in a pool of blood, he was still looking at her, softly asking her to live. From then on, there was no more Tang Yan in the world. Her sister Lianzhu came to look for her and persuaded her to return to the mountain, but she refused. She guarded the empty house, guarded the sword he left behind, guarded the years they spent together, and survived hundreds of years alone. Dynasties change in the world, and old friends have long since turned into dust. Only she is still the same as before. I have never been moved by anyone again, and I have never smiled like that again. Later, everyone said that there was a rabbit demon, waiting for a demon catcher who would never come back, and he waited silently from his youth until the years. He hunted monsters all his life and eventually died for her. She lives forever and will only be there for him from now on. Purpose: This article tells the story of the innocent rabbit demon Lianxiao and the young demon hunter Tang Yan, from meeting to knowing each other, from antagonism to falling in love. Although they are separated by life and death due to the different paths of human-monsters and the harm of big demons, they still transcend races with sincerity, interpret restrained and affectionate, short-lived but eternal sadistic love, and express the theme of being sincere and not afraid of fate, and being affectionate and worthy of eternal life.
