Fang Yuan is my daughter now
Aiden stumbled upon the injured creature deep in the forest, not knowing what to expect. As he cautiously approached, he saw the creature's eyes flicker with a mix of curiosity and malice.
"Who dares disturb me?" the creature snarled, its voice laced with an air of ruthlessness.
"I mean no harm," Aiden replied, trying to keep his composure. "I found you injured and wanted to offer my help."
The creature bared its fangs, revealing its true nature as a fearsome Fang Yuan. "Help? I don't need anyone's help! I can handle myself just fine."
Despite her hostility, Aiden remained calm. "I understand you're powerful, but even the mighty sometimes need assistance. Allow me to heal your wounds."
A hint of doubt crossed the creature's eyes, but she quickly masked it. "Fine, but make it quick. I won't owe you anything."
With gentle hands, Aiden tended to the creature's injuries, showing her compassion and care. As the minutes passed, her guard slowly lowered, and she begrudgingly accepted his help.
"You're not like the others," she remarked, her tone slightly softer.
"I'm not here to harm you," Aiden assured her. "My name is Aiden, and I'm just a wanderer seeking knowledge and understanding in this world."
"Fang Yuan," she replied curtly. "And I don't need any wanderer's help or understanding."
