As night fell, the starry sky over Chenglou Village was deep and dark, with a gentle breeze bringing the tranquility and coolness of the evening. Lin Tiantian, Lin Ting, and Shue Ling sat together in the hall, a pot of freshly brewed fragrant tea emitting a subtle aroma, served in delicate blue-and-white porcelain teaware. The flickering candlelight illuminated the distinct faces of the three.
Lin Tiantian was beaming with joy, her eyes sparkling with youthful energy. She excitedly recounted her adventures at the market to Shue Ling and Lin Ting: "Did you know? The seller at the market had silk scarves in such vibrant colors; I just couldn't take my eyes off them!" Her words were filled with enthusiasm as she animatedly mimicked the scene of selecting scarves.
Lin Ting smiled as he listened, his eyes revealing a hint of warmth and tolerance. As a seasoned demon hunter, he always found simple joy in his sister's liveliness. He gently reminded her, "Tiantian, remember to exercise some restraint. As demon hunters, we also need to be mindful of our image." His tone carried both brotherly concern and a touch of seriousness.
Shue Ling sat quietly, sometimes gazing at Lin Tiantian's excited demeanor and other times looking out at the deep night sky. As the prince of the demon realm, he found many things in the human world intriguing, and he saw a different kind of enthusiasm in Lin Tiantian compared to that of the demon realm. His voice was cold yet tinged with curiosity: "The items in your world are indeed vibrant and diverse, vastly different from those in the demon realm."
Hearing Shue Ling's words, Lin Tiantian couldn't help but laugh out loud. She playfully punched Shue Ling and said, "Shue Ling, stop pretending to be cold. I saw how interested you were at the market the other day!" Her laughter was clear and bright, like wind chimes on a summer night, gently stirring the atmosphere among the three.
The corners of Shue Ling's mouth lifted slightly. Though he said nothing, the smile in his eyes betrayed his true feelings. He turned his gaze to Lin Tiantian and asked, "As a seasoned demon hunter, what insights do you have about this human world?" His tone remained indifferent, but his words revealed a respect for Lin Tiantian's perspective.
Lin Ting put down the teacup, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "The human realm, the demon realm, and even the divine realm each have their own merits. Although the human realm may not possess the mystery of the demon realm or the solemnity of the divine realm, it has its own unique charm. The simplicity and ordinariness within it are often the most precious." His words were profound like an ancient well.
During the night conversation, the three individuals expressed their own views, sharing their understanding and insights of their respective worlds.
On such a night, in the hall of Chenglou Village, the conversation among three people intertwined with the fragrance of tea and the flickering candlelight, weaving together captivating stories.
"Your passion for life truly confuses me," Shue Ling suddenly spoke, addressing Lin Tiantian. There was a hint of genuine admiration in his tone.
Lin Tiantian was taken aback for a moment, then flashed a brilliant smile: "Hehe, isn't life supposed to be full of fun, Shue Ling? If you're willing, I can take you to see even more interesting places!"
Lin Ting shook his head gently and smiled, his eyes revealing a fondness for his younger sister: " Tiantian, don't forget we still have a mission to accomplish. But indeed, it's good to take a walk and see more during our free time."
Shue Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of complex emotions, his gaze lingering between Lin Tiantian and Lin Ting, as if searching for some kind of answer.
At this moment, Lin Tiantian stood up and said with a cheerful smile, "Come, let me make some late-night snacks for you. Eating a little something at night is quite enjoyable in the human world!" With that, she briskly walked towards the kitchen, her movements revealing a kind of unrestrained freedom.
Shue Ling and Lin Ting locked eyes, with a hint of subtle confusion in Shue Ling's gaze, while Lin Tingze exuded warmth and tolerance.
In the kitchen, Lin Tiantian deftly prepared the ingredients, washing and cutting fresh vegetables and meat, and adding spices and seasonings. Her movements were skilled and swift, demonstrating her passion and mastery of cooking.
Before long, plates of delicious snacks with various colors and flavors were brought to the table. Lin Tiantian arranged the food and invited the two with a smile, "Come, try these worldly delicacies I've made."
Shue Ling and Lin Ting walked to the dining table, sat down, and tasted the food. Lin Ting remained calm, savoring each bite of food with a gentle expression on his face.
Shue Ling seemed a bit reserved as he cautiously tried this unfamiliar food. The pleasant surprise of the first taste brought a glint to his eyes, as if he had found a unique beauty of the human world in this simple late-night snack.
"This... this taste is truly unique," Shue Ling evaluated with a hint of surprise.
Lin Tiantian smiled proudly, "How about it, my cooking skills are not bad, right?"
Lin Ting chuckled softly, " Tiantian's cooking skills have always been top-notch."
Three people enjoyed this delicious meal from the mortal world in a warm atmosphere. During the evening conversation, their topics extended from daily life to their respective aspirations. Lin Tiantian's words were full of enthusiasm for life, while Lin Tingze carefully analyzed every possible choice. Although Shue Ling didn't speak much, whenever he did, it carried significant weight.
As the night deepened, the conversation among the three gradually came to an end. Lin Tiantian yawned and said with a smile, "Well, let's end tonight's chat here. There might be a mission tomorrow!"
Lin Ting nodded with a smile, while Shue Ling's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance. As night deepened, the three returned to their rooms, immersed in the lingering echoes of the evening.
In this tranquil night, the starry sky of Chenglou Village twinkled with countless stars, as if silently witnessing every story that unfolded here. Lin Tiantian gently closed the door, a satisfied smile still on her face. In her heart, tonight's conversation was not only a pleasant exchange but also an opportunity to deepen her relationship with her brother and Shue Ling.
Lin Ting returned to his room, sitting by the window and gazing at the night sky. His mind was filled with thoughts about the demon hunter mission, his sister, and the relationship between her and Shue Ling. He had his own considerations and plans. Alongside his sense of responsibility, he also held deep expectations for this ever-changing world.
Meanwhile, Shue Ling stood quietly by the window, his gaze profound as if he were contemplating something. The conversation from tonight had given him a deeper understanding of the human world. Although he still retained the pride and aloofness of the Prince of the Demon Tribe, he had begun to feel a sense of respect and admiration for Lin Tiantian's enthusiasm and Lin Ting's wisdom.
In the deep of night, the tranquility of Chenglou Village is enveloped by the gentle moonlight. Lin Tiantian gradually drifts into a dream under the soft candlelight, a smile appearing on her face as if she continues her life in her dreams.
In her dream, Lin Tiantian finds herself in a world of pure white, surrounded by fluffy snow. She feels a bit confused but suddenly notices a beautiful, snow-white snow leopard playing in front of her. The snow leopard's gaze is deep, exuding an air of nobility and mystery. At first, Lin Tiantian is taken aback, but she quickly becomes captivated by the snow leopard's beauty and grace, and an inexplicable sense of closeness begins to form between them.
In her dream, Lin Tiantian played with a snow leopard, gently stroking its fur as the snow leopard nuzzled her head, expressing affection. They chased and frolicked in the snow, every exchange of glances conveying a profound bond. She wondered where this beautiful snow leopard came from, yet felt a deep sense of harmony and intimacy with it.
As the morning light gently streamed through the curtains, Lin Tiantian awoke from her dream with an indescribable joy on her face. Eagerly, she went to find Lin Ting and Shue Ling, wanting to share this wonderful dream with them.
At the morning tea table, Lin Tiantian excitedly recounted her dream. "Let me tell you, I dreamt of a beautiful snow leopard. It was so noble and elegant, and we were playing like friends. It was truly magical," she said, her voice filled with excitement and her eyes shining with the memory of the dream.
Listening to her sister's description, Lin Ting smiled and nodded, but had different thoughts in his mind. He knew that dreams often conceal deeper meanings, but he didn't say much, only responding gently, "This dream is truly wonderful. Perhaps it reflects your inner longing for nature and beautiful things."
Shue Ling listened to Lin Tiantian's description of the snow leopard with a complex and difficult-to-decipher expression on his face. He understood in his heart that the snow leopard that Lin Tiantian dreamed of was his original form, but he felt it difficult to bring up, as his siblings were unaware of his demonic form. His eyes revealed a deep contemplation, but he responded lightly, "Your dreams are truly unique. The snow leopard is a noble symbol in our demon world."
Lin Tiantian looked at Shue Ling's reaction, unaware of his inner turmoil, and continued to describe the scenes in her dream with great excitement. Her words were filled with love and closeness to the snow leopard.
Three people are enjoying breakfast in the morning sunlight, and Lin Tiantian's dream becomes the topic of their casual conversation. However, in this relaxed atmosphere, Shue Ling hides a deep secret in his heart, and his gaze occasionally drifts to the window, as if searching for some kind of answer.
