The Demoness Is Not Evil Chapter 1-10
Chapter 1
Sky and land blurring into one as the storm rages on, an entire air filled
with rainy mist.
Torrents of rain piercing down on the human body as they fall,
combined with the gales, even the trees are frantically swaying back and
forth as they struggle to stand firm against the strong winds.
This is a sudden round of torrential rain, it is extremely common to have
such thunderstorms here in the summer.
With this kind of weather, it is difficult for the people to predict when to
make preparations in advance, therefore even if you end up as a
drowned rat in this heavy rain, it is nothing to be surprised about nor is
it worth fussing over.
Despite being aware of this, Qu Qing Yin is still unable to hold back her
surprise.
Her surprise is due to the fact that when she ran into the rundown
mountain temple completely drenched, there was already someone
inside, a male who had not even a speck of rain on him, with handsome
looks, a gentleman who carries himself in such a refined manner.

The Demoness Is Not Evil Chapter 1-10
This menacing thunderstorm is just like a river flowing backwards,
because before it started raining, she spotted this temple from afar, but
the moment she runs in, she realises that she is in an situation as
awkward as a fish who had been helplessly swept along by the strong
water currents.
To get here before her and have the pleasure to put his foot up and rest,
this man sure is lucky!
In this moment, Qu Qing Yin could feel a tinge of jealousy towards him.
Without even looking down, Qu Qing Yin herself knows that she is in as
bad of a state as it could get. Her thin layers of summer clothes had been
soaked through by the downpour of rain, the fabric sticking to her
skin…in a situation like this, any woman in the same shoes as her would
know it is inappropriate for an unfamiliar man to see her in such state.
Liu Feng had only just caught a glance of her when she ran out to the
hall, then turned to look outside at the pouring rain.
Qu Qing Yin’s gaze swept around the deserted hall, her eyes resting
inside the building where bits of gold paint can be seen crumbling off,
looks like a worn out statue.
The bag on her shoulder may already be soaked through, but inside
were some greaseproof packages, and somewhere amongst them she has
a clean set of dry clothing. Therefore she quickly changes out of her wet
attire in the fastest pace possible, and walks out from behind the Buddha
statue, with her wet clothes in hand, she gently wrings out the water.
Looking out into the rain, Qu Qing Yin frowns, her eyes wanders
around the hall, searching for some dry wood to start a fire and dry her
clothes.
Liu Feng gently closes his paper fan, standing up, he makes the first
move and breaks down the doors and windows, gathering the bits of
wood in front of her.

“Thank you.” Qu Qing Yin spoke with such sincerity, looking at the
person with a bright smile.
Liu Feng faintly smiles back, “You’re welcome.” He says as he starts the
fire.
She searches all over herself, and from her waist side she takes out a
string of ornaments with silver chains.
Liu Feng’s eyes flashes a hint of amazement, something he had seen that
looked like ornaments, turned out to be a fine workmanship of the silver
dart.
Qu Qing Yin throws out her right hand and a silver dart was nailed to
the wall, trailing from it is a long thin silver chain, she flips her hand and
throws again, another silver dart is driven into a pillar, a makeshift
clothesline made on the spot just like that.
Liu Feng opens his fan smiling, he watches as she hangs up her wet
clothing.
“This rain will last all night, has lady happened to bring anything to
eat?”
Qu Qing Yin curtly asks back: “Gentleman hasn’t brought any?”
Liu Feng spreads out his hands, laughs and says: “You can tell just by
looking that I am empty handed.”
Qu Qing Yin looks at him strangely, “How do you know it will rain all
night?”
“I just know, would lady like to make a bet with me?”
Shaking her head, she speaks with a firm tone, “No.”
“Then lady believes me right?”
Qu Qing Yin does her clothes whilst looking out, disapprovingly saying:
“I only believe the facts.” Summer thunderstorms have always been

elusive, even though the rain is overwhelming right now, who knows,
the wind can pick up and blow away the storm clouds within an
instance.
Liu Feng sees her wordlessly hang up the last of her garments, her two
pieces of underwear, this young lady really is a tad too shameless.
She looks back, and sees Liu Feng’s facial expression looking quite
unnatural, following his eyes to the underwear that she had just hung
up, she couldn’t help but to blink at him, “What’s wrong?”
Flinching as though he just received a burn, he immediately diverts his
eyes away, using the fan to cover his face, he sounds a cough,
“Nothing.”
His eyes falls upon the rock besides her where two greaseproof
packages were, and tries to change the subject, “Do you have anything
to eat there?”
Qu Qing Yin lets out a little laugh, this person must surely be really
hungry, as she laughs, she opens one of the greaseproof packages.
Liu Feng watches as she opens the package, inside is a roasted chicken
and some lu wei.
(Lu wei /
卤味
– food braised in aromatic brine)
Qu Qing Yin hands over the greaseproof package, “If you are correct,
then we will have to be neighbours for the night, and you also helped
me with the fire, no matter what I cannot just leave you to starve
yourself.”
Liu Feng did not hold back and took the whole chicken.
She laughs and places the greaseproof package on top of the rock beside
her, and then opens the final greaseproof package, inside were more
than a dozen of steamed buns
(mantou)
.
Unable to hold back his laughter, “Lady you are indeed prepared.”

Qu Qing Yin throws him a few steamed buns, and also laughs, “I may
not be able to read the heavens, but I do know the principle of never
letting myself get hungry whenever I am on the go.”
“That truly is a golden principle.”
“Most definitely.”
The fire lights up Qu Qing Yin’s graceful face, she has a smile that brings
warmth and comfort to people, yet her eyes reflects a hint of reckless
nature, perhaps a crafty one. Liu Feng suddenly feels as though he has
taken a liking to this not so predictable young lady.
Qu Qing Yin wraps up the greaseproof packages anew again, and
returns her attention to drying the clothes.
Outside is booming with thunder, the rain showing no signs of stopping,
and like a sharp cold knife, lightning would flash across the sky from
time to time, dimly lighting the building when it does.
The two of them did not exchange any words since, inside the temple
only the sounds of the crackling fire can be heard.
Outside, the sounds of thunder continues to rumble, the rain continues
to pour down, and the sky grows darker and darker. In the end, evening
falls with a moonless sky, everything generally dark, had they not lit the
fire, right now they would have already been swallowed up in darkness,
not even able to make out the outline of their own hands.
Liu Feng stands and walks to the doorway of the temple, his eyes
looking far into the black wilderness, between the heavens and the earth
there is only the sound of heavy rain and raging winds.
At a time like this, when everything is engulfed in darkness, the
shadows are like a gigantic dormant beast, waiting to devour unaware
lost souls.
He turns his head and glances back, the lady is still drying her clothes
over the fire. Her semi-dried hair falls down to her chest, blocking his
