[“Monster?” The ‘monster’ gave Wu Jinhai a response, and it somehow sounded irritated. “You think I’m a monster?”

After hearing the vexed question, little Wu Jinhai suddenly changed his mind. Could it be that the creature standing in front of him wasn’t even a monster? The ‘monster’ could even understand his language, and more than that, the ‘monster’ could also speak to respond to his words.

From the voice and posture, it seemed that it was a boy who had just asked him a question in annoyance, and Wu Jinhai was slightly caught off guard as he assumed that it was not a monster talking to him, but it was a human.

It looked like the boy was older than him, maybe a lot older than him. Even if that person wasn’t very tall, Wu Jinhai somehow hesitated when he described that person with the word ‘boy’ because it seemed like he was too old to be called a boy. Maybe he could use the word young man instead?

“If you’re not a monster, then who are you? I wasn’t aware of your presence before, but you suddenly appeared from the water. You’re human, right? Perhaps you’re a strong cultivator who can stay underwater for a long time?” Wu Jinhai once again asked the unknown person, and he sounded a little bolder as he no longer stuttered when he voiced the question.

.....

He was still sitting on the ground while the other person was standing in front of him, and now he could see how the person raised his hands in front of his face before moving his messy and wet hair to the side so that it no longer covered his face. Finally, Wu Jinhai could see the person’s face, and it was indeed a human and not a monster.

He could see that the person had such fair skin, and his face was flawless. If he tied his long hair behind his hair, the man would look handsome, but unfortunately, his current appearance was more sloppy than handsome.

Suddenly, that person crouched in front of Wu Jinhai as he brought his head to be on the same level as the boy. “You’re wrong, kid. I’m not human,” he said, and his words were enough to freeze Wu Jinhai’s body.

Wu Jinhai was relaxed before the young man answered his question, but now his body tensed up once again after the young man confirmed that he was not human.

“You... you just want to scare me, right? You look like me, so you must be a human like me!” Wu Jinhai once again stuttered at the beginning of his sentence, but fortunately, he managed to say what he wanted to say.

Hearing what he said, the young man crouching in front of him suddenly chuckled. “What a naive boy,” he sneered at the little boy. “Don’t you know that demons and werewolves also exist in this world? In case you don’t know, demons and werewolves exist in this world, and they can look like normal humans. That’s why you see me as a normal human now.”

Wu Jinhai would occasionally leave the Xinyang Imperial Palace when he was too bored in the palace, but today was the first time he had gone to a place so far away from the palace. So, it was also his first time meeting someone who told him he wasn’t human. Wu Jinhai looked alert as he tried to distance his body from the strange creature in front of him, but the creature only laughed at him once more.

“Why are you so scared of me, kid? You said earlier that we both look the same, and that’s why we’re the same being, right? You’re not wrong about that, so you don’t need to feel wary when you’re around me.”

“No! You said you’re not human, and you can’t be the same as me! I’m human here, so please stay away from me!” Panicked, Wu Jinhai started yelling at the older man.

However, the older person didn’t seem to be listening to his words, and instead of moving away from the frightened boy, he leaned closer to the boy before pointing his index finger at the bandage covering the boy’s forehead. “Are you sure you’re human, kid? Then, what about the thing hidden under your bandages?” He asked, and Wu Jinhai froze once again upon hearing the man’s question.

He could see how the man pointed to his forehead. To be precise, the man pointed at the secret he was hiding behind the white bandage. He had never met the man before, but the man knew the thing hidden under his bandages, and Wu Jinhai was finally able to get up from his position and was about to escape from the unknown man.

Unfortunately, his speed and strength were incomparable to the young man, and his wrist was immediately grabbed before he was forced to sit on the ground again.

“I know who you are, and I also know what’s hiding behind the bandage on your forehead, kid. However, you don’t need to be afraid of me because I’m a fish demon just like you,” the young man spoke again firmly, and Wu Jinhai widened his brown eyes after hearing the last sentence the man said.

He knew from his father that he was poisoned by the leader of the fish demon when he was just born, and that was why he hated the fish demon so much. So, without thinking much, he directed his free hand at the young man’s face. He was pretty fast this time, and he managed to land a punch right on the man’s face.

“Shit! Why are you suddenly hitting me, you little bastard?” The young man was shocked, and he even let go of Wu Jinhai’s wrist before using his hand to rub his sore nose which had just received a powerful punch from the boy.

Wu Jinhai knew that the young man was very angry, but he was also very furious at this time, and his anger even surpassed the fear that was in his heart before.

While continuing to glare at the older person, the boy asked sternly, “Are you the leader of the fish demon? Were you the one who poisoned me when I was just born into the world?”]
