You Know, He Was Like That Even as a Kid...

"A Qiao, you know he grew up without a mother."

Those words softened the heart of the demon master Yan Qiao, who was planning to retire. He accepted one last job: escorting the young master, Chunyu Qian, back to Pingzhou.

After this job, he would retire!

The Chunyu family did the Son of Heaven's dirty work, so the young master of the Chunyu family and the demon master they kept were naturally not allowed to be seen in public.

The journey was full of danger. The young master went from being wary of him to gradually opening his heart, and eventually hugged Yan Qiao around the waist and pleaded, "Yan Qiao, anyone else can leave, but you must stay by my side forever. You belong to me."

For once, the young master's eyes held the clear, foolish innocence of a boy.

Yan Qiao couldn't bear to shatter the fantasy of this affection-starved boy, so he nodded.

After the mission was complete, he broke his contract with the Chunyu family and began the carefree life of seclusion he'd always dreamed of.

Years later, one night, the door blew open in the wind. It seemed a demon or spirit had come to visit. Yan Qiao calmly drew a talisman, but a demon-binding spell wrapped around him, revealing his half-human, half-demon form.

His red tail took shape and his eyes turned red. He could no longer maintain his human form.

A figure slowly entered through the darkness. He looked somewhat like the person in Yan Qiao's memories: his young master.

He stroked Yan Qiao's snake tail, moving upward inch by inch. "I told you long ago, you belong to me. You shouldn't have left me."

On Chunyu Qian's hand was a signet ring symbolizing the glory of the Chunyu family. He was no longer the powerless young master.

"I did so many terrible things to come see you." The young master looked ready to cry, then changed his expression in an instant, his voice turning cold. "I'm going to use everything you taught me on you. That's your punishment for abandoning me."
