Chapter 2 Love Blooms
[ Past: Hundred years ago... ]
Several days passed but the demon god did not show his appearance to any human. He stopped wreaking havoc in the world.
His sudden disappearance and silence made the people rejoice. They were able to collect and hunt their foods which they would be used as they hide from him.
Some clan and sect leaders were also able to meet to discuss a plan of how they would defeat the demon god.
They sent out messages across the world, inviting extraordinary beings with magical powers.
They were hoping that by joining and combining each other's forces and strength they would be able to defeat the vicious demon god. They just needed to plan out everything and strike at the right time.
Unknown to them, the reason why the demon god suddenly disappeared was that he was busy pretending as a normal human being.
He was enjoying his moment together with the goddess of beauty that he met several days ago in the waterfalls.
He also learned her name. She was called Eva. She brought him in her hiding place. It was a cave.
She was just living there alone. Sometimes she offered help to those people who needed a place to stay.
When she asked for his name, he just said some random name that popped up into his mind. Now she was calling him by his name Zu Wan.
As he stayed with her, the demon god didn't notice that several days already passed. His objective of bringing chaos in the world was diverted because of this beauty in front of him.
"Eva, let us go to the waterfalls." Zu Wan invited her.
"Huh? It is dangerous out there. Do you really like waterfalls?" Eva asked him curiously.
"No, but I begin to like it because I met you there." Zu Wan simply said.
A blush dusted over Eva's cheeks after hearing his statement.
The demon god, despite his viciousness, he was also a beautiful being. His physical appearance stood out and could make women fall for him.
He has deep dark eyes, paired with his dark long eyelashes and eyebrows, that complimented his sharp-featured. He also had a perfectly built body like a warrior.
"But demon god..." Eva wanted to say her disapproval because of the danger but Zu Wan cut her off immediately.
"Please Eva, I trusted you, so this time trust me. Nothing will gonna happen to us. I will protect you against the demon god."
Eva could not help herself but burst into waves of laughter after hearing his remarks.
Zu Wan frowned as he looked at her confusedly.
'Why is she laughing. Did I say something funny?'
Noticing his expression, Eva somehow guessed what he was thinking so she explained herself.
"Sorry about that. I just find it funny because it really looks like you are not afraid of the demon god."
'Of course, I should. Why would I be afraid of me? I am the demon god himself.'
"Did you see him? Does he look frightening to you?" Zu Wan asked her hypothetically.
Of course, he knew that she never saw him yet. Because if she did, she won't dare invite him to her hiding place.
"No, but I heard he looks frightening and..." Eva paused as she noticed his intense gaze, anticipating her answer.
"And what?" Zu Wan asked her with his brows raised.
"He looks ugly like a monster," Eva answered confidently.
Zu Wan:"..."
Zu Wan was rendered speechless after hearing her response.
'Me...Ugly and Monster? I just heard the most ridiculous joke in my life. Yes, I am ruthless and brutal but I am not ugly!!'
"Do you believe them?!" Zu Wan asked her with disbelief.
Eva chuckled when she saw his reaction. She just nodded to confirm it.
"Then what about me?" Zu Wan promptly asked her.
"What about you?" Eva said while giving him a confused look.
"Do I look ugly to you?"
This time Eva burst into another wave of laughter. Zu Wan just looked at her helplessly.
Her laughter was like a piece of music in his ears.
'How dare she laugh at me? I am the mighty demon god. Hmm, I should give her a lesson.'
A sly smile appeared on his handsome face as he suddenly held Eva's face.
Eva stopped laughing because of his sudden action. He grabbed that opportunity to lean over and seal her lips with his.
Zu Wan kissed Eva as he thought this was the proper way of punishing her from laughing at him.
After recovering from the shock, Eva put her arms around his neck as she pulled him closer. She started to respond and return his kiss.
The moment she took the initiative to kiss him back, it was Zu Wan's turn to be shocked.
He did not expect her to do that. Then he felt something moved inside his chest.
'What is this unfamiliar feeling? Why is it my heart started beating and racing wildly inside my chest?'
