"I return this to you. I haven’t used it." Shenlian YingYue took a sip of the spirit tea.
After that, she took out the Divine Space Green Bell, which he gave her for protecting herself, before she went to the secret realm of Congzhu. (Chapter 174)
"I gave this to you; there is no need to return." Helan YuZe shook his head.
"Second senior brother, if you gave this to me, what do you have to do to protect yourself if you encounter any danger?"
"Don’t underestimate me; I have a lot of things to protect myself from. Do you want to see? I could show you, Yue." Helan YuZe was being honest because he trusted her.
Yue has a kind of aura that makes people feel comfortable when they stay near her. He believed in someone he loved and that she wouldn’t reveal his secret.
Why would he believe in her so much? Since they were young until now, Yue has never revealed the secret between them to others.
[17 years ago...]
"Xiao Yue, Brother Ze wants to tell you a secret." Helan YuZe’s small voice echoed. He leaned to wish something to the girl, who looked at him in confusion.
"Brother..." He was afraid that she would be scared of him. Nevertheless, telling the truth was better than keeping it from her. He wanted her to accept the real him rather than hide from him in fear.
"Really! Brother Ze, could I see?" Shenlian YingYue, in her four-year-old appearance, looked at him with sparkling light in her eyes.
"Shuuu, do not tell anyone about this. This will be our secret. Promise, Xiao Yue?" Helan YuZe stroked her head lovingly. He was right; his Xiao Yue will never be afraid of him.
"When will I be able to see, brother?" Little Shenlian YingYue raised her hand and made a promise with her small finger. Then, she looked left and right to find out that no one was here before she whispered to him with expectation.
"My parents said that I could only show this to my wife." Helan YuZe sighed with regret. He was really helpless.
"Brother Ze’s wife will be the luckiest woman in the world!" Little Shenlian YingYue gave him a thumb up as she smiled cheerfully.
"Even if brother chooses a wife, Xiao Yue will always be brother’s most favorite person." He rubbed her soft hair fiercely, as if he wanted to tease her.
"Brother, stop! My hair became like a broom." Little Shenlian YingYue pushed him away as she dodged his dishonest hand.
...............
Helan YuZe’s eyes were dull. From that moment until now, no one has found out that secret. She really kept their promise even later, when she suddenly changed into an evil person.
"Yue, could you answer me a question?" He looked at her intensely to make sure that he wouldn’t miss her expression.
"Second senior brother, please ask." She nodded.
Hearing that she kept calling him his second senior brother, he was distressed, but he didn’t want to force her to call him ’Brother Ze’ like she used to. He will wait until she allows him to be close to her.
"Could you tell me why you changed later? It looks like another person was pretending to be you." He really didn’t understand. He checked her breath; her breath changed, but her body was the same.
There was the birth mark behind her back. It looked like a lotus, entangled by the snake.
