Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 760: Chapter 297: Because I Like You

"Is An An here?"

Fan Wubing approached the courtyard of the Anger Demon Lord and knocked on the door.

Soon, a deep and flat voice came from inside,

"Why are you back?"

"Could it be that you’re not welcoming me?" Fan Wubing asked with a smile.

When the door opened, after many years, he was able to see An An once again. She was still as petite and delicate-looking as before. However, maybe because she had been in seclusion for too long, her demeanor had changed quite a bit.

Upon seeing Fan Wubing again, she showed no signs of surprise, not even an emotional reaction.

An An looked at Fan Wubing and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"..."

Fan Wubing sensed something was off and thought to himself: this is not like An An at all! Based on how she used to behave around me, at this moment, her eyes should be glowing with excitement.

Even if she were throwing a tantrum, this shouldn’t be her reaction.

Fan Wubing’s gaze slightly sharpened, and in his pupils seemed to reflect an upside-down galaxy. He silently activated his Divination Skill in his heart, calculated a bit, and captured the reasons behind An An’s changes. Sensing the connection of causality in An An’s body, he thought to himself, so that’s how it is... the current Anger Demon Lord isn’t An An, it’s an existence named "Xiaoye."

The real An An is actually dormant within this body.

Thoughts quickly swirled in Fan Wubing’s mind, then he smiled and asked,

"What have you been doing all these years in seclusion?"

Xiaoye coldly replied,

"Training. Did you just come to ask this? If so, then I’ll close the door."

"Wait. Don’t you want to visit the Illusion Immortal Tower?"

Xiaoye raised an eyebrow, "Why should I go there?"

Fan Wubing chuckled, "That Taoxian hasn’t seen you for a long time and misses you a lot. Don’t you plan to see her?"

"I don’t plan to."

"That would make her sad. Isn’t she one of your few friends?" Fan Wubing asked, "Can you bear to see a friend sad?"

Xiaoye hesitated a bit. She didn’t consider Taoxian a friend, but An An did. And An An was her best friend... making a best friend’s friend sad seemed a bit wrong.

"I get it. I’ll go see her alone tonight."

"Oh, and what about me?" Fan Wubing said sadly, "Aren’t I your friend too? Won’t you chat with me?"

Xiaoye’s eyes flashed with disdain. She thought to herself, it’s because of this guy that An An became someone else! I wish to stay far away from him, let alone chat! Get lost!

That’s what she thought, but she couldn’t say it out loud. After all, she was currently using the Anger Demon Lord’s identity.

Xiaoye said expressionlessly,

"Alright, I’ll chat with you for a bit."

"Let’s go to your room then."

"No way!" Xiaoye suddenly shouted. That room was shared with An An, it’s important and private to her, to the extent that "righteous people and Fan Wubing" were forbidden entry.

"Why not?"

"Just cleaned it, don’t want it dirty."

Fan Wubing chuckled inwardly and said, "Alright then."

The two of them moved to the pavilion by the artificial lake of the estate.

Once Xiaoye sat on the bench, she put on a demeanor that warned people off, visibly not wanting to be there with Fan Wubing, almost as if she was about to pinch her nose to speak.

Fan Wubing said, "An An, you’ve changed."

"Heh, people do change."

"Is this a rebellious phase?" Fan Wubing had the look of an old father, "The little girl has grown up, doesn’t want to talk to this old guy anymore. You used to be so clingy when you were little; if I didn’t take you out to play, you’d get mad. Like the time we went to the Meteorite Highlands..."

Fan Wubing’s gaze was gentle, reminiscing about the joyful bits and pieces of the past, recounting how close he and An An used to be.

Listening to this, Xiaoye was about to grind her back teeth into dust. She kept a straight face, not wanting to respond at all.

Fan Wubing said, "You even said before that you wanted to go on adventures with me for a lifetime."

Hearing this, Xiaoye couldn’t hold back, "That’s bullshit! When did she ever say ’for a lifetime’!" She remembered every word exchanged between Fan Wubing and An An. Definitely, absolutely, never did she say something like that!

"She?" Fan Wubing looked doubtful.

Xiaoye realized she had slipped, darn it! This guy is seriously annoying, just seeing him throws my mindset off, causing me to slip up!

Fan Wubing squinted his eyes, "An An, something seems off with you. Is it possible... someone has tampered with your mind? Or, have you been possessed?"

"No."

"That won’t do. An An is my good buddy! I absolutely won’t allow anyone to harm her!" Fan Wubing said, "I seriously suspect you’re not the real An An."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Prove your identity!" Fan Wubing said, "I’ll ask you a few questions that only An An and I know; if you can answer them, I’ll believe you’re real."

Xiaoye couldn’t help but scoff inwardly, no one understands An An better than I do! Not even she herself!

"Alright!" She said with a confident look, "Ask away."

"What are An An’s hobbies?"

"Crafting!"

"What’s An An’s favorite fruit?"

"Ye Hualianwu!"

"Whom does An An admire the most?"

"Slaughter Demon Lord!"

Fan Wubing raised an eyebrow, "You got them all right."

Seeing him looking defeated, Xiaoye couldn’t be happier inside, secretly laughing, see, I told you no one knows An An like I do!

"In that case, I’ll have to bring out the big guns!" Fan Wubing said seriously.

Xiaoye dismissed him, "Bring it on."

"I once taught An An a gesture to express liking, what is it!" Fan Wubing asked loudly.

Xiaoye certainly knew,

"A heart gesture."

"Then make one for me."
