[A Short Story]
1.
Xiao Kan, the young master of Ninghe Manor, is a demon who burns, kills, loots, and commits every imaginable evil. The nearby villagers see him as a scourge and hate him to the bone.
Only his maid, Xiao Cui, knows that Xiao Kan really is a demon through and through. Why, there he is again, brushing his mouthful of fangs.

"Xiao Cui, aren't you afraid of me?" Xiao Kan had just finished gnawing on a thigh bone, blood still at the corner of his mouth. When he turned and saw Xiao Cui gazing at him with innocent curiosity, he couldn't help asking.
"No! Even though you're lazy, greedy, and fierce, and you like eating people, you're always good to me!" Xiao Cui counted on her fingers. "You're a really good person. Oh, no, you're a really good ghost!"
Xiao Kan: "..."
3.
Xiao Kan once said his name meant carefree and happy, but it seemed he had never truly left that little courtyard in his entire life.
Until timid Xiao Cui took his hand. "From now on, I'll take you to see the world."
