Since she became alone four years ago, all her efforts, including asking her grandfather how to summon high-level shikigami, were aimed at making herself stronger.

Then find the monster Nine Tails and kill it.

She didn't want to give up this chance of revenge at all, but Huali knew very well in her heart that once she exposed her witchcraft power

With the fact that she was beginning to recover, she couldn't hold back Shishui anymore.

Seeing her vacillating eyes, Meng Meng couldn't help raising her voice: "Miss Huali!"

"I, I'll think about it," Huali sneaked a glance at Zhishui, then quickly looked away, her voice weakened a lot, "Nightmare, can you give me a night?"

"But it's not safe here anymore. If Miss Huali doesn't leave as soon as possible, she may be in danger at any time."

"It's okay," Huali lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, then sighed lowly, "I'll be fine, and Zhishui is here too."

"...Ah, I heard Hongye say that he saved you several times, and I know he is very strong," Meng Meng glanced at Shishui, gradually clenched her fingers, and made a toothache sound. "However, the enemies this time are different. Nine Tails is the strongest monster among the Hundred Ghosts. Even Master Changhao..."

As he said that, Meng Meng's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head regretfully: "Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."

"...It's okay, it's been so long," Huali shook her head and smiled, "Trust me, Nightmare, I won't die in vain."

"..." Meng Meng was silent for a long time before opening in a low voice, "Miss Huali, for the past four years, Hongye and I have trusted you."

"If Hongye was standing here, she would definitely say that she believed in you." A trace of helplessness appeared in Mengyan's eyes, "But I can't. Four years ago, Hongye and I believed in Lord Changhao, so we didn't have too much trouble. It was because of dissuading him that such a thing happened... That incident dealt a great blow to Hongye, and I don't want to see her cry again."

"Hongye and I, as shikigami passed down from generation to generation in the Yakumo family, watched Master Changhao grow up and get married, and then had Miss Huali. Now that Master Changhao has passed away early, we... absolutely don't want to see Miss Huali leave too. on the same path."

The always reticent Mengmai said so much in one breath, Huali was a little speechless for a while, her hands gradually clenched, and the pain of her fingernails sinking into her palm miraculously calmed down her confused brain.

"I've made a decision," Huali lowered her head and looked at the ground, and after a while she managed to utter a second sentence, "...I want to stay."

"but……"

Huali interrupted Mengyan before she finished speaking, and she smiled with a complicated expression: "Actually, my witch power has almost recovered."

Nightmare was taken aback, with an unbelievable expression: "...so fast?"

"That's right, it started this morning," Huali explained pretending to be calm, trying to restrain herself from looking at Zhishui's expression, "Probably, it will return to normal tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about Nightmare."

"...Really, I understand," Nightmare nodded respectfully, "I will tell Hongye the truth, since Miss Huali's witch power has recovered, please call us whenever you need our help."

Seeing the nightmare's body gradually dissipating, Huali nodded seriously: "I will."

After the nightmare completely disappeared, the surroundings became completely quiet. This silent atmosphere made Huali feel very uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to speak. Zhishui would probably blame her... After all, I hid such an important thing from him thing.

"So it really recovered," Zhishui's voice full of laughter sounded, "I thought I was wrong."

"Yes, yes," Huali looked around anxiously but did not dare to raise her head to meet his gaze, and wanted to explain nervously, "That's because... because it hasn't fully recovered yet! So I didn't tell Zhishui ...I didn't mean to hide it from you!"

"I know."

The gentle voice seemed to contain the power of trust, Huali's nose suddenly soured, and she almost shed tears.

She was clearly planning to deceive him.

"Tomorrow...my witch power will be fully restored." Huali took a deep breath, so that she could muster up the courage to look up at him, and then smiled slightly, "Tomorrow, I will send you back. "

"Tomorrow?" Zhishui was obviously stunned, "Why?"

"You ask why..." Huali was a little dumbfounded, "Didn't you say you wanted to go back to Konoha?"

"Ah... that's what I said," Zhishui laughed, and rubbed the top of her head with his broad palm, "But it's not now, or is Huali no longer wanting to be with me?"

"How could it be!" Huali retorted almost subconsciously, "I really hope that Zhishui can stay forever!"

"Pfft..." Zhishui laughed out loud, seeing Huali glaring at him in dissatisfaction, he slightly restrained the smile on his face, trying to make himself look serious, but joy and bitterness surged up at the same moment heart.

"Well, Zhishui," Huali asked nervously as she drew circles on the ground with her toes, "Did you realize that my witch power has recovered?"

"Almost, Huali is too good at lying," Zhishui's fingers slid down from the top of her head and landed on her smooth and delicate cheeks, gently rubbing her fingertips on the side of her face, a smile appeared in her eyes, "Don't tell me, are you afraid that I will choose to leave?"

"..." Huali lowered her head in silence, she didn't back away or blush, but let out a soft "um".

It was rare for her to be so frank, but Zhishui was stunned, his face became a little hot uncontrollably, and his heart was beating rapidly, his fingers moved down unconsciously, and stopped on her lips, His fingertips gently stroked her soft lips, his dark eyes were full of fascination, and then he bent down and slowly approached her.

After realizing Zhishui's intention, Huali froze there, unable to even take a step back, and her mind buzzed blankly.

The originally quiet alley seemed to suddenly become noisy. The sound of flapping wings of birds, footsteps, insects, and the rustling of leaves as the wind blows through the leaves, all kinds of sounds merged together and were infinitely amplified in her ears.

The flow of air slowed down in an instant, and even time seemed to stand still, and every minute and every second passed extremely slowly. She could clearly see Zhishui's dark and focused eyes, and the ends of his eyes, which were close at hand. Eyelashes that are too long and slightly raised.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and the fiery breath is gradually intertwined. Zhishui's fingers clasped her chin and lifted it up slightly. He only needs to get closer to touch her.

However, at this moment, Zhishui stopped suddenly, and his eyes that were full of infatuation just now became clear at this moment. He straightened up and looked at Huali who was still staring at him blankly, with annoyance in his eyes. Flashed: "...Sorry."

"..." Huali blinked, but suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, and blurted out the words inadvertently, "Why?"

Asked by Huali like this, Zhishui seemed to be choked, a little speechless, hesitating for a long time before giving a wry smile: "...Because, it's not fair to you."

Huali couldn't help frowning, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhishui's collar and pulled it down hard, Zhishui had to bend down to cooperate, but she didn't expect her to come over quickly at this moment, Zhishui In an instant, I felt a soft and warm touch from the corner of my lips, and the itchy feeling disappeared in a flash.

It happened too fast, before he could react, Huali took a few steps back quickly to distance himself from him, she turned around and covered her already flushed face with her hands, and then she looked ashamed He stomped his feet vigorously.

Subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, Zhishui stared blankly at the person whose back was turned to him and didn't want to look at her: "Well, Huali..."

"Don't talk and let me be quiet," Huali took a long, deep breath, feeling her heart beating like a drum gradually calmed down, and then turned to look at him, "What, why are you showing that expression? Didn't you want to do the same to me just now, I just finished what you didn't finish."

Huali's expression looked extremely serious, as if what she did just now had nothing charming about it.

"..." Zhishui was silent for a while, then sighed softly, "Huali, you should completely reject me."

The contradiction in his heart has become more and more intense, and the remaining thoughts that had been suppressed by him have quietly broken through the soil, and the big tree named Konoha has begun to take root and sprout.

"No," Huali raised her chin and snorted softly, "I like you, so what's wrong with kissing you?"

Huali's sudden bluntness, which has always been awkward, completely froze Zhishui. He looked at her with a complicated expression for a while, and then laughed softly: "No, Huali is right."

The fruitless love is full of hopeless sweetness, even so, he is willing to enjoy it.

The sky was getting dark, and the sound of the waves on the beach kept ringing. Zhishui led her to walk slowly along the beach. From time to time, cold sea water splashed onto her legs, but Huali didn't notice it. Her attention was almost all On Zhishui beside him.

"Hey, when are you going to leave?"

"..." Zhishui's hands subconsciously clenched and then gradually loosened, "I..."

He found that he didn't want to leave anymore.
