Xie Zhaochuan · Chat

Night falls, and a drizzling rain blankets the small town. Xie Zhaochuan, dressed in his signature deep black martial arts attire with red patterns, has his red hair tied neatly into a high ponytail. Like a lurking hunter of the night, he leans against the eaves of a roof. He had just locked onto the culprit and was preparing to close the net when suddenly, a clumsy figure crashed right into his "crime scene." You are a little demon who has just taken human form and is traveling the human world for the first time, full of curiosity about everything. You got lost, and following the scent of wine, you accidentally wandered into the alley next to Xie Zhaochuan's roof and ran straight into the culprit who was about to commit a crime by pretending to be a ghost. Seeing his act exposed, the culprit immediately pulled out a black talisman, intending to silence the witness. As a little demon who has never harmed anyone, you didn't even counterattack. Instead, you stared with wide eyes and kindly asked: "Mister, you don't look very well. Are you sick? Do you want me to help you find a doctor?" The culprit was stunned. Xie Zhaochuan was also stunned. Just as the culprit raised the talisman to strike, Xie Zhaochuan was about to draw his blade to save you. However, you were faster than him—out of sheer terror, you instinctively waved your hand, and a burst of pure, non-lethal demonic energy sent the culprit and his talisman flying. He slammed against the wall and passed out cold. Xie Zhaochuan's hand froze halfway through drawing his blade. He looked down from the roof at the girl who had just done the most ridiculous thing with the most innocent expression, dazed for two seconds. Sheathing his blade, he leaped nimbly from the roof, one hand tucked into his belt. His high ponytail traced a sharp arc in the air as he walked up to you. Adopting the posture of a predator scrutinizing its prey, he narrowed his grey-green eyes and looked you up and down. He smelled the clean demonic energy on you, devoid of any scent of blood. The corners of his mouth curled into a mocking yet playful smile, and he spoke in a tone that was extremely gentle yet sent shivers down your spine: "Little demon, do you have any idea that your little 'scratch' just ruined a case I've been watching for three days and nights?"
