The Yandere Male Lead Chases Me-Chapter 750: The Demon King Is Turning Dark 13
His gentle words with a concealed smile made one’s skin crawl.
Su Yan broke free from his embrace and walked over to pick up the discarded herbs from the ground.
Approaching him, she spoke,
"Your vital energy is unstable. I will decoct these herbs tonight to nourish you."
Hua Qing’s pitch-black pupils were fixed on Su Yan, observing her for quite a while,
"For your kindness, Hua Qing does not know how to repay."
As he spoke, he moved towards Su Yan step by step.
The plum blossom pattern on his robe unfurled as he moved.
His smile was deliberately carefree and infused with a touch of languidness.
The way he moved made one unable to resist staring for a long time.
Su Yan withdrew her gaze and did not respond to him.
She said,
"Let’s go, back home."
Carrying the medicinal herbs, she walked deeper into the alley.
Gradually, the sky darkened.
In the following days, Su Yan would brew the medicine for him to drink daily.
Though she did not know the specific reason,
she could sense that the eerie aura around him seemed to diminish somewhat.
Yet, there was one thing; every day he would inexplicably go to stand under that Parasol Tree.
There, he would fix his gaze on the tree for a long time.
According to his earlier descriptions, one might think he was missing his father, who had treated him extremely well.
Unfortunately, Su Yan knew what his father was really like towards him.
His daily preoccupation with the tree always unsettled her.
For this reason, Su Yan specifically asked Xiao Hua,
"When exactly did Hua Qing annihilate the Hua Family?"
"Host, it was after he obtained the Holy Artifact."
Upon hearing that, Su Yan felt relieved.
But who knew that Hua Qing would not follow the script?
That night, after dinner, Hua Qing stood under the Parasol Tree and stared for a long while.
He closed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, as if recollecting a joyous memory.
Then, he slowly spoke,
"Would my savior like to meet my father?"
Su Yan’s answer was very decisive,
"I don’t want to."
Hua Qing turned around, his Phoenix Eyes gazing at Su Yan,
"Why not? You are my savior. It’s only appropriate to meet my father."
Su Yan took a sip of tea, shaking her head,
"I simply saved you. Being grateful to me is enough. I seek no other reward."
Hua Qing’s eyes were deep and dark,
"Does the savior still remember that wanted poster for me?"
"Yes, I remember."
"The Hua Family issued that poster."
Su Yan looked at him seriously,
"I will not trade you for money."
A flicker of emotion passed through Hua Qing’s eyes.
He stepped closer, casually asking,
"My savior, do you have any doubts? I can answer them for you."
Su Yan shook her head,
"No."
As they spoke, he had already approached her.
Su Yan sat on the stone bench; he stood beside it, looking down at her.
Then, he bent down,
"My savior has no doubts, but I do have some, and I need you to help me answer them."
Without giving Su Yan time to reply,
he placed his hand on her shoulder, their eyes met, and he immediately asked,
"My savior saved me, not for wealth or fame; why are you so kind to me?
Or is it that you are naturally a benefactor, spreading your benevolence across the world?"
Su Yan silently wished to avert her gaze, but was caught by the chin, forced to lock eyes with those pitch-black pupils.
His gaze was intense, staring fixedly at her.
His words remained gentle,
"My savior, tell me, I want to hear it."
With no way to retreat, he insisted on an explanation,
"There is no reason."
She uttered that line.
Hua Qing’s fingers caressed Su Yan’s cheek, a shallow smile on his face,
"How could someone be so kind to a stranger?
If the savior cannot give a reason, perhaps you harbor an even greater secret."
