Chapter 138: The Young Taoist Priest
Normally, Li Yunxin was quite tolerant of these demons. He even felt a sense of closeness.
When he first saw the four demons "listening to the dharma" before Lady Sanhua, he found it novel and interesting, so he gave them names—Sheriff, Tuzki, Shuke, and Shan-ji.
The one who had come now was "Shan-ji."
At that time, he just thought it was interesting. When he went to see these demons again after possessing the body, he actually felt… closeness.
This closeness was not really related to emotion. In Li Yunxin's view, it was just a physiological identification born from similar identities. However, he knew very well that physiological feelings usually affect the psychological—and for someone like him to be so easily influenced by physiology meant…
He had a sense of loneliness in his subconscious.
Because he felt lonely, he needed the care and recognition of his own kind. Therefore, after seeing these few demons again, he felt "hmm, not bad"—this was a dangerous tendency. It was a sign that his emotions were on the verge of losing control, and he didn't like this sign at all.
So he was trying out a certain kind of relationship, one that was close yet detached.
However, it didn't seem to be very successful.
