Six hundred years ago.
Demon Domain.
"So... Yan Qi was strung up and whipped by Liu Ruyan for an entire night in the end?"
Lu Li's face was full of shock as he finished the last bite of fruit in his hand.
"Yeah." Evelina nodded with considerable emotion. "And that was only because Xiaoxiao investigated the matter quickly enough."
"After all, there really are major cultural differences between the Spirit Clan and humans, especially when it comes to relationships."
"Humans' first impression of the Spirit Clan is generally that they know how to have fun and are very open-minded."
"They think the Spirit Clan is a race that lives without restraint."
"And in reality?" Lu Li narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.
Evelina froze for a moment, then quickly understood what Lu Li meant.
It was nothing more than the fact that her crazed behavior in the mine had left him with a fixed impression.
Prejudice.
Blatant prejudice!
So she rolled her eyes and simply explained in detail, "In reality, the Spirit Clan just places too much importance on emotions."
"They follow what their hearts tell them and put it into action at the first opportunity."
"Isn't that still living without restraint...?" Lu Li teased.
"It's different!" Evelina stressed seriously. "The Spirit Clan's casual nature only appears before they have settled on a mate."
"Once a member of the Spirit Clan recognizes someone as their mate, they will remain unwaveringly loyal and find it difficult to change."
"Unless, one day, someone else appears who makes them fall even harder."
"But that possibility is incredibly slim."
"So that's how it is..." Lu Li nodded in realization and summed it up simply. "You play around wildly before marriage, then settle down and live a proper life after getting married. Is that it?"
