"Jiang Cheng, why am I the only one who thinks you are different from what you appear to be?"
"Well, maybe it's because you stayed with me for too long, and others can't compare."
"... Look at how you look the same 8,000 years ago as you do now."
"What changes is whether you are good or not."
"It's none of my business."
"Look, my name has been Jiang Cheng from beginning to end, but you can be Shen Yu or Lin Ruo."
"…………"
I held my chin, not even wanting to look at him, so I almost rolled my eyes at him.
I don't know if he hid it well in the past or if I was stupid. Is it possible to become mean if you live a long time?
Isn't that why I, an old fox who has lived for tens of thousands of years, should be better than him? Why can't I even speak to him now?
Jiang was still drinking tea one sip at first, but the next second he was serious, which seemed abnormal.
"Shen Yu, I am almost 50,000 years old this year."
"I only need to deal with others on the surface. It's too hard to behave for everyone."
"Maybe I was lucky in my previous life and met you who can understand you with just one look."
I listened carefully, and actually felt a little moved when I heard what he said.
"So it doesn't matter who I am or where I am?"
"Well, both monsters and humans are destined to the same destination, right?"
"Yes, no matter human or demon, you are responsible for choosing the path, and I am only responsible for accompanying you until you can't walk anymore."
"Then I have to think carefully about where we will go from now on."
"Let's go home, back to where we started."
