Chapter 8
I began to reshape my original body while teaching Xuan Hong and practicing cultivation.
Xuan Hong was no longer as messy as when I first saw him after cleaning up.
His eyes were big and round, shiny like lacquer, and he looked upright with a hint of foolishness.
After hesitating for a long time, he dared to quietly discuss with me, "Immortal, can I call you master?" In the original book, he was an orphan since childhood, with no one to rely on.
It was only by picking up a secret book that he stumbled onto the path of cultivating immortality.
He wanted to call me master because by calling out, I would naturally become the person he was closest to in this world.
Daxi Heng had once lied about being sick in order to get rid of closeness, but unexpectedly, it was something Xuan Hong desperately pursued.
I sighed silently.
Originally, I had a calm heart focused on finishing my work, but suddenly it softened.
"You can.
You can call me master," I said.
He was extremely happy, throwing away his sword and wanting to hug me, but immediately stopped.
I thought it was because he feared my skeletal arms.
Unexpectedly, he cautiously squatted down, looked at those rotting wounds, and asked me, looking up, "Master, do you still feel pain? I'm afraid that if I touch you, it would hurt you." He was terrified, even holding his breath, afraid that even the airflow would harm me.
"Xuan Hong," I touched his head, "you forgot, I said that I am a god." "I'm not afraid of pain, you don't have to worry about me.
Rest assured, no matter what, I will protect you, even if it costs me my life." Because, this time in the mortal world, I came for him.
But Xuan Hong shook his head.
He smiled but spoke firmly, "You are more powerful than me, so shouldn't it be you protecting me? How does that make sense? Master, although I have no parents, I also know that sincerity should be met with sincerity." He held my hand, his eyes clear and sincere, "If you protect me, I will also protect you.
I will definitely work hard to cultivate, and one day, I will not become a burden to you!" I closed my eyes.
He is truly different from Daxi Heng.
