XIAO YAN POV
*opening the door*
I entered, dragging my huge sword along the ground behind me. If I had not controlled my strength, I would have destroyed the floor of the palace, but I tend not to leave any evidence. The room was very spacious, made of black wood, and in the front was a large window overlooking endless seas and mountains, golden light. It gives the room an exciting atmosphere. My eyes fell on a cup of red drink. I was about to approach until I was stopped by a voice coming through the window to me, "You liked my room? You really have perfect taste. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me."
I rolled my eyes and moved closer while pulling my sword behind me. He came out of the window. The distance between us was still long because the room was large. He said while pointing with his hands at my sword and shaking his hands, "Pretty girl, put your sword away, there is no need for violence."
"What would we do if we weren't going to use violence? Do you think I came to talk to you? What nonsense, hurry up and take out your sword. I don't want to fight someone who has nothing in his hands."
He laughed. He was wearing a black and red hanfu. He had long black hair, with bangs on his forehead. I could see his chest because he wasn't dressed properly. He put a smile on his lips, "Okay, if you're determined." He comes closer and I feel like my movements are paralyzed. Maybe I was waiting to know what he would do. Therefore, I did not dare to raise my sword. I was afraid that in the strange atmosphere, I would not be able to carry it.
While the distance between us was close and sufficient enough, I tightened my hand on my sword to raise it, but he preceded me with his hand on my neck. Suddenly his lips were on my neck, and my sword fell. I failed.
He moved away, wiping the blood from his mouth with his hands, "Delicious, as I expected."
I shouted at him angrily, "You perverted man," I looked at the red cup and pointed at it with my hand, "It turns out that you are a vampire? Damn it."
He leaned his body towards me, very close to my face, "Not like that, girl."
His features are clear and terrifying, what a devil. A handsome one of course...
He pulled me to him, put his hands on my waist, "Evil dream," he said
Then we both fell on his bed, and I woke up to see me in the water. "Damn it, can't you choose another place?"
He said as he got out of the water, "It's a dream, ma'am. I can't control the situation yet.. hahaha."
I took a deep breath, reminding myself that I didn't have my sword, and that I could kill him when we woke up. What a stupid man he really was.
"I heard you as a manipulative woman, so... let's play, Xiao Yan."
I slammed my hand on the water forcefully, "Don't you dare say my name."
The water rushed violently towards him, but he did not move even a step, as if he was dead. This world did not seem to affect him.
He approached and pulled me out of the water by the hand. He seemed very calm now, somewhat terrifyingly calm. "Let's talk. I feel lonely."
When we left, I looked at him and smiled. He smiled at me, letting go of my hand. I turned around and hit him in the stomach with my foot. He said, holding his stomach in great pain, "Oh, the hell, didn't we agree to talk?"
I screamed angrily, "Why would I talk to you, you pervert? If I had my sword, I would cut you into pieces right now."
"Oh, it seems like you don't like being messed with, you like to be in control, and pretend to be strong and evil, right? Aren't you too tired to live in the shadow of others? And to pretend? It's okay, I understand you."
Haha, I knew this. He didn't want to talk. Rather, he was trying to mess with my mind. His skill allows him to have the power over other people's minds after sucking their blood, but despite that, he used another skill, "Demon's Dream," to take me into his own mind. Shushin's words are echoing in my mind now, "Trust? If you have time to trust, then trust yourself. It is difficult and impossible to trust men. There is a 50 chance of winning and a 50 chance of losing.
They do everything to win, especially against women. They pretend that they will be lenient with us, but at the best chance you will be stabbed. There is no difference between a man and a devil."
I walked away on the sand, saying to him, "I only mess with bad guys. Now we can play mind games and blow each other's minds and pretend to be affectionate, but we both know we only understand ourselves, right?"
He walked towards me: "Then you must be happy to know yourself."
I laughed, "I thought that when I knew myself I would be happy, but it turns out that my suffering started then."
He smiled, walking with me on the sand, next to the black sea, and the black sky, "Because we can easily judge others and their evil, but when it comes to us, we can only hide the monsters inside us and pretend to be good."
I looked at him, "But wouldn't it make sense to show your inner monster? Since you are a demon."
"You don't know how painful it is to be us. Others will never understand our suffering, the sacrifices and the life we live, the judgments that judge us and the things we hear. Maybe we are devils, but we do not deserve to live in hell."
The two of us were silent for a while. We only heard the sound of the sea. He broke the silence with his words, "Wait a minute, did you use your skill?"
My emotions were running high a little while ago, unlike usual, but thanks to him, he made me overcome and come back to feeling anger filling me, and I only felt myself screaming at him, "You fool, how could you fall into your own trap? How could your magic affect you, you fool?"
He put his hands behind his neck and laughed shyly, "I don't know how to use swords."
I looked at him in shock. The man who looked scary while sucking my blood turned out to be a fool. Damn, Shushin romance novel about monsters was even more exciting. Reality turned out to be really different. This was my first real shock towards men. I will make sure to burn her books when we return.
