A heart for a lifetime.

In order to produce the antidote for Gotham as soon as possible, Jingyan You is the leader of the snake hunting team, and every day, he leads a team of voodoo masters to search for snake demons.

The snake demons of the east, west, south, and north hid in misery until they heard about the snake with its eggs being brought back to Medicine Spirit Valley, and all of them couldn't hold back a bit.

"Nowadays, the Demon Master dares to be so overbearing, completely disregarding our demon race."

"Yeah, I think Medicine Spirit Valley's become a snake pit!"

The White Snake Demon said, "Our White Snake Clan has all defected to the Demon King, why doesn't he step in and take care of it, our White Snakes have all been captured more than ten times."

"As the Demon King of the Demon Clan, how could we just sit back and do nothing, we should report this to the King."

"Wait," a demon asked again, "so where is our king?"

A demon weakly replied, "Your Majesty, in Medicine Spirit Valley ......"

"..........."

"What? Even the king was taken in?"

"Ah," the demon scratched his head, "he just went there to sleep ......"

And so it was that the demons realized--

After the southern snakes are caught, Jue Shen sleeps in Medicine Spirit Valley.

Northern snakes are on the loose, and Jue Shen sleeps in Medicine Spirit Valley.

East and West are running out of snake eggs, and Jue Shen is still sleeping in Medicine Spirit Valley.

The snakes couldn't stand it anymore: "How did this demon king become a king, did he fucking sleep on it?"

After eating the fruit pudding made by Xu You, Jue Shen, who was known as the Demon King of Sleeping, lay down on the soft collapse and narrowed his eyes lazily, "Ah, then order them to come to the door of the Snake Clan themselves, while those from other clans will report to the police, and those who will help in the search will be heavily rewarded."

Xu You said, "Why are you so advanced, you know how to develop the group demon route.

Jue Shen is the only heart-eating fox in the world today, and has also entered the stage of transforming into a god, and there are many demons who willingly submit to him, so he has the greatest power in the demon race, even though he is in Medicine Spirit Valley, his orders are still extremely powerful and enforceable.

Under the strong combination of the Medicine King and the Demon King, the scale of the snake-catching operation was protracted, and all the snakes, big and small, were pulled to Medicine Spirit Valley and detained.

Even at the end of the day, even the snake demons themselves say that a snake's life is incomplete without a visit to Medicine Spirit Valley.

Although the phagocytosis is unique to the South Phosphorus Snake, and there is no antidote, but the snake demons have more or less made similar poisons, although they are combined with their own venom, made out of more or less different, but Jingyan You can extract the common place, and then look for the corresponding antidote to the drug.

After several days of hard work, Jingyan You, the Medicine King, finally broke the poison of Gotham.

Jue Shen drank the antidote, but it didn't work that fast.

Jingyan You pinched the time on the side, seeing that two hours had passed and the antidote should have taken effect, he asked him, "How is it?"

Jue Shen visibly felt the pain in his chest lessen by several times, it had returned to normal pain in his wounded flesh, this pain was indeed nothing to the demon, he smiled diffidently, "It does work, thank you brother."

Jingyan You breathed a sigh of relief just as he heard it was effective, and as soon as he heard the next two words, his forehead jumped, "What did you call me?!"

Jue Shen lifted his eyes lightly, his smile unchanged, "Brother."

Jingyan You's hand squeezed tightly and his eyes narrowed, "Don't you dare scream again?!"

"Brother." Jue Shen called again in a loose, trailing voice.

"You spit out your medicine!"

Seeing Jingyan You pulling up his sleeves and looking like he wanted to fight, Jia Guan rushed over to him and pulled him back, "Valley Master, forget it."

Jingyan You turned around and glared at him, "What do you mean forget about it, don't think that I won't dare to make a move just because he's injured."

"No," Jia Guan added in a small voice, "I am afraid that you can t beat it ......" When the time comes to lose face, can not step down how to be good.

Jingyan You: "............"

--

The thing that doesn't bother Jingyan You the most is the fact that he and his sister have an extra person at the family reunion dinner.

Jue Shen reported to the office three times a day, even when he was resting, he woke up at the right time and never missed a meal.

Jingyan You was puzzled, he had never seen the demon race having regular meals like this every day.

"Ah," was the explanation given by Jue Shen, "recuperating from an injury."

Xu You was so distressed that he put everything into his bowl and stuffed it to the brim.

Jingyan You painfully thought, since childhood, his sister has never given him a dish, see Xu You clip a duck leg and want to stuff into the bowl of Jue Shen, he could not help but cough.

Okay, ignored.

Jingyan You coughed again, as if casually.

Okay, there's no reaction. The sister just didn't notice.

Jingyan You coughed twice more at the top of his lungs, and Xu You finally cast a worried look, "Brother, although the weather is hot, you must take care of your body."

Jingyan You motionlessly moved the bowl towards Xu You's hand.

Xu You: "......"

Her eyes leisurely traced over Jingyan You's face and gave him a piece of pig's foot.

Jue Shen's narrow fox eyes lifted slightly, and thoughtfully exchanged a glance with Jingyan You, who also moved his bowl to Xu You's hand.

Xu You: "............"

Is her future day meal to enjoy the food, no, is it to satisfy the food, even less.

She's just an emotionless sandwich machine.

If there were feelings, they would be the deep emotions of an old father caring for his two cubs.

--

Jue Shen found Xu You seemingly busy with something, hiding it from him.

She had gone to do it while he slept, and when he woke up, he was sure to see her when he opened his eyes.

Jue Shen was subconsciously concerned about this, and realized that she was running up and down the entire Medicine Spirit Valley, and drew a bunch of drawings by herself, looking like she was going to make some kind of handmade product.

Thinking that she was probably doing what she loved, he left it alone.

One night, half a month later, Xu You led Jue Shen to the top of Medicine Spirit Valley's tallest loft, which overlooked the valley's high-rise and low-floor mansions.

She dismissed Zhi Cui, leaving the two of them alone.

They sat on the cloud collapse that had already been set up, and Xu You stuffed him with a hand stove and wrapped him tightly in a cloak; although Jue Shen wasn't going to be sick, she was still afraid he'd be cold.

The Moon hangs brightly in the sky, the evening breeze is gentle tonight, and it's quiet all around.

Xu You both hands over the back of his hand, eyes downcast, eyes fell on his heart, she pursed her lips, voice very low: "What are you going to do about your heart?"

During this period of time, she racked her brain for ideas, thinking of the artificial meat inside her world, what with the cloning technology, heart transplants, all sorts of nonsense, and then realized that she couldn't even figure it out.

Jingyan You is also clueless. He can heal and save people, but he can't make a heart anyway.

Jue Shen raised her hand and held it, "There is no need to worry, as long as there is still heart flesh, it will grow back."

Xu You glanced at him and said suspiciously, ''Really? Are you kidding me? How long will it take to grow back?" His wounds were recovering so slowly, let alone growing heart flesh.

"One hundred years, if the heart is crippled, it can be restored on the day of one hundred years," Jue Shen's long eyelashes drooped slightly, "This is the most secretive thing of the Heart Eating Fox Clan."

Xu You instantly understood, those greedy people digging up the heart of the heart-eating fox, must not be a little bit left, so outsiders never know about this matter, if you know, it is difficult to imagine what kind of disaster.

After the heart-eating fox is designed to harm, it will be held in captivity, and every hundred years it will have to endure the torture of cutting the heart, leaving a little bit of heart flesh, waiting for the next hundred years, and will never be allowed to transcend life.

Xu You bit her lower lip and subconsciously pinched her fingers tightly, "Then this hundred years, how hard it should be."

"Didn't feel bad."

Not comforting words, Jue Shen is so think, although the heart is half empty, like a cracked empty jar, the moment the blood flow through the lungs like a knife blade scraped.

But when he thought of his heart running through her blood, running through her body, and finally merging with her heart, he felt instead of an empty heart, he felt something filling his heart.

Jue Shen lowered his head to meet her eyes, his voice falling softly, " Xu You , I have a selfishness."

He was selfish, of course; the life span of the human race was too short, decades passing by in a flash, while he would have to spend hundreds of years, with no end in sight to his time.

Ripping his heart out would hurt, of course, but when he thought of the image they could spend an eternity together, any pain called to him to be willing to lick honey at the tip of a knife.

One heart for her whole life.

Xu You wiped his eyes and pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to him.

Jue Shen took a look, is a red rope pendant a transparent crystal in the shape of a star, inside the bright red liquid, crystal movement, inside the liquid will also follow the light shaking, there is a light, red superimposed on the reflection of the crystal, extraordinarily good-looking.

Thinking this was Xu You's handiwork, Jue Shen curled her lips and put it around her neck.

At that exact moment, the outside was abruptly lit up, and light spilled into the attic, illuminating it brightly both inside and out.

Jue Shen looked up and saw rice paper covered with candle-lit lamps flying upward, and the night of Medicine Spirit Valley was lit up by a single bright lamp.

All over Medicine Spirit Valley such lights were put up, and they floated in the darkness of the night like a warm starry sky close at hand.

Jue Shen roughly counted, there are thousands of lamps.

At the same time, people appeared on the roofs and raised platforms of the originally empty alleyways, and they shouted in unison, "Happy Birthday, Auntie!"

There were other words mixed in, "Auntie is the most handsome!!!"

"Auntie is the strongest--"

Although Medicine Spirit Valley has many voodoo masters, most of them have spent their entire lives in the valley, growing medicines and doing odd jobs, and have become a part of the area, with fewer conflicts with the demon race, so they don't have much prejudice against the demons, and there are many people who don't want to be voodoo masters who have defected to Medicine Spirit Valley.

The Valley Master and Miss were their great benefactors and relatives, giving them a resting place in the war-torn world of man, and they had lived together until now, and would live together into the future.

Learning that the young lady was saved by the Demon King, and that the young lady adored the Demon King, they voluntarily called up this Auntie.

Some time ago the lady asked them to make lamps, they naturally put their hearts into doing a good job, so they waited for this moment.

Jue Shen froze, "My birth date?"

He suddenly remembered that Xu You had asked him about his birthdate, but demons rarely have birthdates, and he didn't remember his own birthdate. Seeing Xu You's serious and solemn look, he had to determine a rough time period, and he himself had forgotten about it long ago, but he didn't realize that Xu You was seriously preparing for it.

Jue Shen turns to Xu You and wonders where she pulled out a small wooden box.

Xu You handed it to him while saying, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I'll remember it for you in the future, today is your birthday."

The crowd outside the loft was laughing and yelling, the bright lights in the air were bright and warm, and she was the one who was close by for company.

Jue Shen thought, the original birth is this good.

Jue Shen took the small wooden box and asked her, "What kind of light is that?"

"Kongming lanterns," Xu You signaled him, "you open them."

Jue Shen opened the small wooden box with twenty small porcelain bottles with blue and white patterns, "Medicine?"

"No," Xu You said, "it's a surprise gift to commemorate the first time I helped you celebrate your birthday, and it's up to you to find out if you're lucky. There are twenty vases in it, ten of which have different gifts written on them, and the remaining ten are empty.

"Here, let's see our Demon King's hand." Actually, she wanted to use wishing bottles, but she couldn't build glass, so she had to take these little porcelain bottles from Jingyan You's medicine cabinet.

Jue Shen Seeing her wry eyes curved in a smile, he also couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, he casually picked up a small porcelain vase, pulled off the stopper on it, and poured out the note inside.

There are only six words on it - Marry the person in front of you.

For a moment a memory fragment floated through his mind of someone writing him a lot of orange sticky notes, all with a smiley face on them.

Jue Shen was stunned and slowly raised his head.

The moonlight kneaded the warm yellow light falling on her body, her pretty face seemed to be tinted with a halo of light as well, her bright eyes reflecting him.

His fingertips rubbed the note, his heart warming and rising with emotion into his limbs.

A light breeze blew a little scent of unknown flowers.

Atop this high pavilion, with the moonlight and lights as a backdrop, amidst the blessings of the crowd.

Jue Shen said in a low, husky voice, "I'm going to marry the person in front of me."

"Xu You."

--

The twilight gray sky in the distance lit up with a shimmering light, and the fading clarity of the windows illuminated the house.

Jue Shen didn't sleep a wink.

He seemed to be thinking about a lot of things, and then he seemed to be thinking about nothing at all.

With the note still cupped in his hand, he thought about it, carefully rolled it up, put it back in the porcelain vase, and pressed the stopper.

Opening the small wooden box containing nineteen vases, Jue Shen placed the vase in his hand and was about to close the box when his eyes swept over the other vases and wondered abruptly what gifts she had written for him.

Jue Shen opened one of them again, and after seeing the contents, he was slightly stunned.

And then he opened all the porcelain vases and spread all the notes out on the table.

Jue Shen couldn't help but bend his lips, his eyes soft as the still moon in the lake.

As it turns out, there is no such thing as ten different gifts or ten empty bottles.

All twenty porcelain vases had notes inside, and all had the same six words--

Marry the person in front of you.
