The angel’s silver hair diffused the moonlight into the narrow tunnel.
Bai Lixin carefully observed the interior and noticed that the inner walls were not smooth.
There were crisscrossing traces with black substances embedded within the gaps. Among these mottled traces, there seemed to be inscriptions.
Indecipherable blurry patterns, obscure and peculiar marks.
The inscriptions were hasty, and Bai Lixin could only commit their content to memory mechanically.
He also discovered a familiar-looking pattern within them— It was a triangular pattern, a standard equilateral triangle with a blurry circle drawn around it.
This pattern felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
The sound of wings cutting through the darkness suddenly echoed above them. Bai Lixin and Padi looked up and saw that at some point, the crow from earlier had returned.
It screeched “gah, gah,” circling above Bai Lixin’s head, seemingly attempting to use the same tactics as it did against Mrs. Nick.
The crow blinked Its red eyes. It was preparing to unleash another unpleasant attack by flapping its wings, when a large hand swiftly reached out from below and deftly caught the crow.
The crow: “…”
Danger!
Caught by its wing, the crow screeched while flapping its wings and claws, pecking frantically at its surroundings, desperately trying to escape the clutches.
Although the young man appeared slender and delicate, his strength was astonishing. His other hand swiftly moved behind the crow’s back, and in the blink of an eye, he held the crow’s wings, pressing them against the crow’s head.
The crow instantly became motionless.
The crow grew completely panicked, its gray claws scratching the air ferociously, their tips gleaming with a bone-chilling coldness.
If one were struck by those claws, they would be severely injured.
“If you make another move, believe or not, I will immediately throw you into scalding hot water and give you a comfortable hot bath.”
The crow’s claws instantly froze, and its whole body seemed to freeze like a bird sculpture.
Seeing the crow quiet down, Bai Lixin placed Mrs. Nick’s treasures back in their original position and closed the hidden door. He then stood up, holding the petrified crow in one hand.
A thick black cloud floated in from an unknown direction, suddenly covering the once luminous full moon. In that moment, the previously romantic garden was engulfed in darkness.
The wind picked up, and the surrounding leaves rustled eerily. The sea of flowers seemed to sway defiantly, as if they would rise from the ground and come alive In the next second.
What was once a cozy garden now appeared haunted.
The angel furrowed his brow, looking at the sky. “Let’s go back.”
Bai Lixin also noticed the ominous atmosphere around them. His sharp sixth sense, attuned to danger, told him that it would be risky to proceed any further.
Agreeing with the angel’s suggestion, Bai Lixin held the crow in one hand and walked back along the same path, shoulder to shoulder with the angel.
The angel glanced at the crow that now looked like a stone statue. “Why are you keeping this crow? Are you really planning to make bird soup?”
The already petrified crow became even stiffer.
Bai Lixin lifted the crow’s wings and examined it. The blood-red eyes met the young man’s starry gaze, and it blinked several times in quick succession.

The young man chuckled, “This bird is quite interesting. Since it has come, it would be impolite not to keep it as a pet.”

[“Crow, danger!”]
[Poor crow, once a king, until it met God Xin. And then, there was no afterward.]

After walking for about half an hour, the eerie black cloud that had covered the moon silently dispersed, just as it had appeared, mysterious and without warning.
As the dense cloud above dissipated, the elegant moonlight once again bathed the earth, transforming this colorful garden into a dreamlike scene that existed only in fantasies.
The entrance to the resort was now within reach.
The lobby was pitch-black, and the angel silently followed behind Bai Lixin like a beautiful trailing tail.
Ina short while, the two stood in front of Room 204.
The angel continued to follow behind Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin looked at the angel, who showed no intention of leaving, and blinked his eyes several times in confusion.
The angel spoke seriously, “I don’t have a room. I’ll sleep here tonight.”
Bai Lixin: “?”
Say that again, where are you going to sleep?

[Eh, is this really an angel? Are you sure it’s not a wolf in sheep’s clothing?]
[The angel is amazing. They’ve only known each other for one evening. I thought being kissed was already a divine move, but I didn’t expect there would be an even more powerful move.]
[If anyone dares to call the angel innocent and cute, I’ll turn against them. This angel is so capable, clearly pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.]
[Directly entering cohabitation mode. I want to interview the demon next door. Are you jealous?]
[The demon lord is already crying in the bathroom.]
[Don’t angels sleep in trees?]
[Um, they hang while sleeping?]
[…What you’re talking about is a bat, not an angel!]
———————
Under the angel’s overly pure and clear gaze, Bai Lixin felt like the corrupted demon lord.
Embarrassed, Bai Lixin averted his gaze from Padi’s face and opened the door. He walked into the room with the crow in hand, with the angel calmly following behind.
The door closed gently, and with a “click” of the switch, the room lit up.
As Bai Lixin was about to graciously take out slippers from the cabinet, the angel took the initiative and walked barefoot into the room, going straight to the living room. He looked around and asked, “Can you help me with a bath?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Believe it or not, I will break your legs.
You don’t consider yourself an outsider at all.
After changing into slippers, Bai Lixin took out another pair from the drawer and threw them in front of the angel, saying patiently, “Put on these slippers first.”
The angel replied, “My feet are not dirty.”
Bai Lixin said, “I’m not worried about your feet being dirty. I’m worried about the floor being cold and freezing your feet.”
“Oh, I see,” the angel finally put on the slippers. Even the simple act of sliding his feet into the slippers was done elegantly and gracefully.
The man’s every motion could be frozen into an exquisite painting.
It had to be said, even though he was a bit “innocent looking” , he was really good-looking.
With the slippers on, the man asked again, “So, will you help me with the bath?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Why did he find the man attractive earlier? He must have been blind.
Taking a slow breath, the young man forced a smile and said, “It seems that I am the owner of this room now, and it is not customary for the owner to help guests bathe.”
“If that’s not the custom,” the angel furrowed his attractive eyebrows, “then should I help you bathe?”
Bai Lixin: “???”
Baby, are you mentally stuck? Can we break free from this strange circle of serving each other and think of a self-sufficient solution?

[Wow, I’m going to kneel for the angel. No wonder they say the more innocent and pitiful the face, the more terrifying and fierce they are.]
[The angel is winning, hands down!]
[Family, tell me, is the angel pretending? Is this his strategy? No fake actions, all straight balls. And each ball is made with great enthusiasm.]
[The angel is the real demon, right? The demon is surprisingly pure.]
——————-
Bai Lixin sat resentfully on the sofa and casually placed the crow on the table. He asked curiously, “So, why must someone help or bathe another person?”
The angel replied, “Because it’s not very convenient, so we help each other.”
Bai Lixin became even more curious, “How is it not convenient? Can’t you reach your own back?”
As he asked the question, Bai Lixin suddenly paused.
He seemed to understand.
If Padi was truly an angel, then the wings he saw earlier should be real, just hidden by some means.
Cleaning up four pairs of huge wings didn’t seem very convenient indeed.
In Bai Lixin’s mind, an untimely image suddenly flashed.
A silver-haired angel with four fluffy white wings spread out, his hands touched every corner of the wings delicately, not missing a single feather even beneath the folded lower wings.
Although his hands didn’t touch the real feathers, Bai Lixin could already imagine the soft and fluffy texture of the angel’s feathers.
Fluffy… Yes, it was fluffy. Who could resist petting an angel’s wings? Who could resist fluffiness?
Bai Lixin’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Since you insist, I…” will help you clean the fluffiness.
As soon as the man across from him heard Bai Lixin’s first question, his lips pursed. Before Bai Lixin could finish his second sentence, the man said, “You’re right, then I won’t ask for your help.”
“I should be able to bathe myself.”
Just eight wings, he could handle it!
Since he came to the mortal realm, he should follow mortal customs. Mortals don’t have people with eight large wings. He had almost exposed his true identity just now.
Bai Lixin: “…”
What does it mean to be stifled by one’s own words?
This is it.
God Xin caught being a pervert, what is this called people? Dropping a stone on your own feet?
