Lan Yan returned and carefully studied the method for supplementing demon beasts. She muttered, "That's right. It says to eat more. I added a lot of tonics, so Jun Yelan was full after just one bite."
She didn't believe carrots could fill a stomach.
Flipping further, she read that giving demon beasts a good environment was crucial for recovery.
"A good environment? Does that mean I have to decorate it?" She thought of the flowers in the backyard and smiled as she left.
After she departed, the wind turned the demon beast book to its last page. "This book is written from the perspective of a cultivator and cannot be practically applied."
The next morning, Lan Yan, holding several bouquets of flowers, walked towards the mountain cave on the cliff.
She encountered Xiao Lingling on the way. Feeling good today, she couldn't be bothered to interact.
Xiao Lingling stood to the side, prepared to bicker with Lan Yan, mentally rehearsing her lines. To her surprise, Lan Yan walked past her without even a glance.
Feeling offended, she called out, "Lan Yan."
Lan Yan turned around and asked, "Miss Xiao, what is it?" At that moment, she was anticipating Jun Yelan's delighted expression after she presented him with the flowers, her eyes curved into smiles and her mouth stretched into a grin.
Coupled with the wide smile, Xiao Lingling shivered. Lan Yan seemed to be grinning sinisterly, which was terrifying. She lost the words she was about to say and remained rooted to the spot.
Lan Yan sighed, "Looking for trouble for no reason." She turned to leave, looking at the bouquets in her hands, and her smile returned.
Watching her retreating back, Xiao Lingling exclaimed, "Has Lan Yan gone mad from taming beasts!" She shivered and quickly walked away.
Lan Yan successfully reached the cave and saw that Jun Yelan was still asleep. She arranged the bouquets around him. "He'll surely be surprised when he wakes up."
In his semi-conscious state, Jun Yelan smelled an unpleasant aroma again. He sneezed several times and involuntarily opened his eyes. The sight before him stunned him. What were these colorful things!
"Jun Yelan, you're awake." Lan Yan raised a bouquet and moved it closer to Jun Yelan.
"Achoo!" Jun Yelan couldn't stop sneezing, and red spots appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Lan Yan quickly discarded the flowers and lit a fire to burn them. She looked at Jun Yelan, "Jun Yelan, are you alright?"
Jun Yelan finally stopped sneezing and looked at the flowers that had turned to ash, confused. "Were those flowers?"
"Yes." Lan Yan nodded, her eyes filled with apology. "I didn't know you were allergic to flowers. I won't give you any more."
Jun Yelan didn't understand what an allergy was. Seeing Lan Yan's expression, he said, "In the demon realm, we don't have flowers, nor do we have vibrant colors." His dwelling was always dark.
Lan Yan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Jun Yelan, who had a tragic past and was now confined here, constantly in danger of being killed.
She smiled, "Wait here, I'll find you flowers that won't cause you allergies." She had made a mistake and would correct it herself.
Before Jun Yelan could react, Lan Yan had already left. He was indeed a strange person. He actually didn't care, but why did Lan Yan care so much about him?
He was, after all, just a demon beast.
Lan Yan found Lin Qian and asked for some colored paper, then locked herself in her room. She used to love doing crafts as a child, but it had been so long since she'd touched them that she had almost forgotten.
Relying on her memories, she folded various ordinary flowers.
An hour later, the table was covered with paper flowers of all colors.
She placed them in a basket and walked out.
Lin Qian saw his senior sister going to the cave again, always carrying something different, and sighed, "Senior sister is becoming obsessed. No, I must tell Master quickly. I can't let senior sister continue like this."
He ran towards Feng Qing Zhenren's palace.
Meanwhile, Lan Yan arrived at the cave again, set down the basket, and explained to Jun Yelan, "These red ones are roses, the white ones are tulips, and there are purple and blue ones."
Jun Yelan sat down, staring at the items in Lan Yan's hands. As he listened to her gentle words, he felt a warmth spread through him. He couldn't help but turn to look at Lan Yan.
Her beauty was charming and elegant, with a gentleness between her brows, and her red lips were always speaking.
"Did I explain it clearly?" Lan Yan looked up at Jun Yelan, seeing that he had turned his head. What was going on?
Jun Yelan didn't intend to be like this, but whenever he looked at Lan Yan, his heart pounded, as if something was wrong. It took him a long time to calm down and look at Lan Yan. "Yes, I remember everything. The red ones..."
He repeated it perfectly.
Lan Yan was surprised, but Jun Yelan was an ancient demon beast, so of course he was intelligent. She pushed the basket towards Jun Yelan, "From now on, look at these paper flowers every time, perhaps your mood will improve."
"Tell me what else you haven't experienced in the demon realm. I'll do my best to help you." She wanted Jun Yelan's memories here to not be filled with suffering.
Jun Yelan was stunned. In truth, he had always slept in the demon realm and hadn't done anything. The time spent with Lan Yan was the only thing in his life he wished to remember.
He gazed into Lan Yan's bright eyes and nodded.
Lan Yan smiled and sat on the ground, saying, "Let me tell you, our immortal cultivation world isn't the most fun. The human world below is the best. There's lots of food and entertainment. We'll go together someday."
She hadn't been to the human world here either.
Jun Yelan just listened quietly, feeling that this was good enough.
Seeing Jun Yelan like this, Lan Yan became happy. At least Jun Yelan wasn't thinking about revenge every day. After she finished speaking, she left. On her way back, she chatted with the system, "System, I think I've turned the tables."
"Look, not only did he not drive me away today, but he's also willing to listen to me talk."
System: "Are you sure it's not because Jun Yelan has no other choice! He's a person confined here and can't do anything, so of course he's just listening to you."
"Don't forget, he's a demon beast. If he stays here too long, his divine consciousness will be invaded. It will be even harder to conquer him then."
Lan Yan nodded, thinking the system's words made sense. "It seems I need to find a way to remove this formation. But the original host was just a beast tamer and doesn't know how to do that."
"We need to find the person who set up the formation, which is the original host's master. Alright, I'll go tomorrow. Today, I'll just get some good sleep."
System: "..." The host is always so carefree.
Lan Yan returned to her room, pulled up the covers, and prepared to sleep soundly.
However, the door was knocked, and Lin Qian called from outside, "Senior sister, Master wants to see you."
Lan Yan reluctantly got up, looking at Lin Qian with annoyance, which startled him. "Let's go." She had planned to go tomorrow, and they wouldn't let her rest at all.
Lin Qian followed behind, praying, "Senior sister, I'm doing this for your own good. Please don't blame me."
