My Supernatural Exes Are Desperate to Win Me Back

The sharp knife halted just half an inch from his face, stopped by a pale green magical barrier, hovering in mid-air.

Wen Nansen turned to meet the dark gaze, his voice gentle, “Why did you suddenly attack me?”

Zhan Xingye put down the apple and stood up. The quiet, indifferent young man seemed to vanish in an instant, replaced by a cold, ruthless killer drenched in blood.

An invisible tendril violently shattered the barrier, coiling around Wen Nansen’s neck, pinning him against the tree trunk. “I should have realized sooner, you’re an Exotic Species too.”

Wen Nansen’s gold-rimmed glasses were slightly askew, the golden chain swaying, his emerald eyes exposed to the air, still patient and calm. “Are you with the Administration Bureau? The Bureau doesn’t aim to exterminate all Exotic Species. I’ve never harmed any human.”

Spirits are peace-loving and principled, almost all are friends of the Bureau. Thousands of years ago, the earliest version of Hermod’s Contract was a friendly agreement between Spirits and humans.

“No,” Zhan Xingye said slowly, “You hurt her.”

She used to like you so much, yet you made her sad.

Two years ago, on a snowy winter night, the girl walked down the street in a thin coat, going from haughty to cursing, from lashing out to silent.

As she walked, she suddenly squatted by the roadside and burst into tears.

How could she not be heartbroken?

The person she liked from ten to eighteen years old had always been looking through her at someone else’s shadow.

“I won’t kill you, but you can’t go near her again.” Zhan Xingye’s eyes held an inorganic, icy gleam, like the cold light of a blade after quenching, each word he spoke carried a deadly edge.

“You deceived her, let her down, she doesn’t want to see you, you shouldn’t have returned to the country.”

“So that’s what you want,” Wen Nansen smiled, “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

He raised his hands, fingers interlocking, a sound like shattering glass erupted continuously in their ears.

Golden and green chains extended from his fingertips, reaching into the void in all directions, locking onto the transparent tendrils that surrounded him like a massive cage.

Wen Nansen’s fingers slowly clenched, the chains tightened sharply, his tone as if speaking to a child, always restrained and gentle:

“Zhan Xingye, I know you like Xu Xining, you can pursue her, but she doesn’t belong to you.”

“Xu Xining is my beloved, she just doesn’t remember.”

…

Wen Nansen looked into his eyes, speaking slowly, “So, I won’t let go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the locked tendrils suddenly moved.

Like lightning in a clear sky, a barrage of arrows, the roar was deafening, all the golden-green chains extending outward shattered into pieces!

Ordinary people couldn’t see what happened in that instant, but Wen Nansen saw it clearly.

The Spirit’s emerald pupils shimmered like cat’s eyes in the sunlight, with a golden sheen.

-The transparent tendrils flowed out from the chains, then turned back to smash the chains with force.

It defied biological logic, as soft as water yet as hard as steel.

Even Demons wouldn’t grow like this.

The tendrils broke free from the chains in an incredible way, then launched a merciless, swift attack, more like venting anger than a warning.

To others, Zhan Xingye seemed to stand expressionless, but in the air, countless golden sparks exploded like fireworks, each one lethal!

Layer upon layer of green barriers cracked.

Wen Nansen looked down, his left hand in a white glove opened, blood flowing from the palm.

His left hand was already injured, creating a flaw in his defense, and Zhan Xingye didn’t miss it.

A casual strike from the tendrils, the wound was deep enough to see the bone.

The transparent tendrils, stained with the Spirit’s golden-green blood, bloomed into brilliant red flowers in the air.

For the Administration Bureau, identifying Exotic Species hidden among humans was always a challenge, and Zhan Xingye was known for his 100% accuracy in identifying them.

Colleagues called him the “Grim Reaper Student” or “Detective Xingye,” wherever he went, Exotic Species were found.

In reality, it was because his tendrils were bloodthirsty, and they bloomed upon contact with blood.

Human blood bloomed white flowers, Exotic Species’ blood bloomed red flowers.

Zhan Xingye grabbed Wen Nansen’s collar, pinning him against the tree, his dark eyes flashing with sharp light, his voice hoarse, “You know what you are… why do you dare to approach her so openly?”

Wen Nansen glanced at him, his gaze without anger, instead like a forgiving elder looking at a confused child, “You seem to have issues with your own identity. If you don’t love yourself, how can you expect others to love you? Especially her.”

“Don’t act like you know her so well.”

“In my past life, I loved her for seventy-eight years,” Wen Nansen’s tone was extremely calm, “After she died, I had one hundred and twenty years and seven months to remember those seventy-eight years.”

“…So if you must say, yes, I know her better than anyone in this world.”

The young man’s eyes darkened, like leaden clouds before a storm, he stared at the emerald eyes, “You…”

A girl’s clear and puzzled voice came from behind, “Hello? What are you doing?”

Zhan Xingye immediately let go, his back stiff.

He was so out of control, he forgot to pay attention to the girl’s footsteps.

Wen Nansen calmly looked down at the crumpled collar, smiled, “My collar was crooked, thank you for fixing it.”

Zhan Xingye struggled to speak, “You’re welcome.”

Xu Xining: “…”

What, she leaves for a minute, and Wen Nansen’s charm has already conquered Zhan Xingye?

She only knew Professor Wen had healed many lost girls in college, cured two cases of depression, saved a graduate who wanted to commit suicide, but now even her most loyal ally Xingye had betrayed!

They’ve moved to fixing collars, next step they’ll be sworn brothers!

She’s disappointed!

Very disappointed!

Xu Xining glared fiercely at Zhan Xingye, huffed, and turned away like an angry cat.

In an instant, the ferocious Exotic Species Killer deflated like a punctured balloon.

The young man stared blankly at her back, struggling to understand why she was angry.

She must have seen his rudeness to Wen Nansen, that’s why she’s mad at him.

She’s mad because she’s still on Wen Nansen’s side.

So she still likes Wen Nansen.

…

The tendrils drooped, as if suffering a fatal blow.

He was indeed the strongest Exotic Species Killer, in his eyes, Exotic Species were only those who should or shouldn’t be killed, not those who could or couldn’t be killed. He wielded power beyond modern firearms, undefeated since joining the Bureau.

But one look from her, and he was utterly defeated.

Xu Xining found that since the fishing trip, both Wen Nansen and Zhan Xingye had become peculiar.

First, her childhood friend seemed to awaken some strange trait, often sharing longevity tips with her expressionlessly, like possessed by some odd old man.

He even proudly rolled up his pants to show Xu Xining his thermal knee pads. When she asked if he wasn’t hot, Zhan Xingye said, “Spring cover, autumn freeze, no illness,” and offered her a pair.

Spring cover, autumn freeze, my foot.

Zhan Xingye looked at her calmly.

Known: Xu Xining likes Wen Nansen.

Conclusion: She likes older men.

His actions… just ask, is he old enough? Too old! So old he’s about to rot!

While waiting for the elevator, Zhan Xingye said emotionlessly, “Eating too much sugar can cause cavities. If you really want something sweet, I recommend xylitol gum, a natural sweetener that reduces bacteria and prevents tooth decay.”

Xu Xining felt the Lemon Candy in her mouth lose its flavor, “Uh-huh, my teeth are fine, thank you very much.”

The elevator doors opened, and Zhan Xingye handed her a thermos.

Xu Xining’s eyes lit up, “I know! It’s my favorite iced lemon tea!”

Zhan Xingye: “It’s chrysanthemum tea with goji berries, atractylodes, and cassia seeds. Chrysanthemum clears the eyes and refreshes, goji berries nourish the blood, calm the mind, moisten the lungs, and cassia seeds clear heat and brighten the eyes.”

Are you kidding me?!

Xu Xining wore a pained expression, “It’s hot, spare me! I just want something cold, something cold!!”

Zhan Xingye was taken aback, “But you’re on your period.”

Xu Xining thought, how the hell do you know I’m on my period, but she didn’t want to ask, just frantically pressed the close button, “No, thanks. Bye!”

If Zhan Xingye was suddenly cosplaying a ninety-year-old grandpa, Wen Nansen was trying to cosplay a lively young man.

Recently, Xu Xining’s corporate WeChat was flooded with emojis from Editor Wen.

Xu Xining: [Early April Draft.doc]

Editor Wen: [/Sexy Corgi Shaking Hips]

Editor Wen: [/Boldly Loving Puppy with Flower]

Editor Wen: [/Really Like, Not Sure, Thumbs Up]

Editor Wen: [/Pants Flying!~]

Xu Xining: …What the heck, are you sexually harassing me at work?!

Xu Xining held back, but eventually asked: [What do your emojis mean?]

Half an hour later, Teacher Wen sent a long reading comprehension, including but not limited to:

“Canine animals wagging tails indicate happiness, so a tail-wagging puppy means a good mood.”

“A flower-bearing puppy is a messenger of spring.”

“Thumbs up indicates appreciation for exceeding work expectations. I’m not unsure, I’m sure, thumbs up.”

“Pants flying means running fast, implying I’ll quickly read and review the document.”

Xu Xining: [Great emojis, don’t send them again.]

Teacher Wen, storing all kinds of emojis will only harm you!!!!

Xu Xining was puzzled about where Wen Nansen got these emojis, but soon her question was answered.

Her good friend Yu Yuanyuan, slacking off at work, eating chips, sneaked over to her desk mysteriously, “Princess Xixi, did you hear? Editor Wen occasionally picks lucky people to teach him how to use a computer in his office, and he’s collecting young people’s emojis everywhere. I contributed a lot.”

Xu Xining asked, “Did he send you any emojis?”

“No, he didn’t.”

Xu Xining: “That makes sense because he sent them all to me.”

Yu Yuanyuan curiously asked, “What kind of emojis?”

Xu Xining, expressionless, “Really like, not sure, kiss.”

Yu Yuanyuan was shocked.

Xu Xining said slowly, “Come to think of it, those emojis look familiar.”

Yu Yuanyuan sensed danger and prepared to flee.

Xu Xining grabbed her hat, arresting her on the spot, “You contributed them, didn’t you?! And the flying pants! Who else treats the internet like a no-man’s land!”

Yu Yuanyuan quickly confessed, “Sorry! I have so many emojis, I didn’t check before sending! I sent hundreds! How was I supposed to know Editor Wen would pick the wrong ones!”

She leaned in, “But, no matter how many years ago, holding a rose still means love, right? Is it possible…”

She looked around, whispering, “Teacher Wen wants to get back together with you?”

Xu Xining stared at the little dog with the flower, calmly, “No, I think he really doesn’t understand.”

After work, Xu Xining invited Yu Yuanyuan to her house for dinner, mainly because Xie Yi sent another big box of ingredients. The Good Man is picky and refined, often just nibbling a few bites before lounging lazily.

When Xu Xining opened the door, the Good Man jumped off the sofa, elegantly walking over to greet them.

Yu Yuanyuan suddenly screamed, “Oh my god!!!!”

Xu Xining was startled.

Yu Yuanyuan sang like an opera, “Ahhhh-what a beautiful fox!”

Xu Xining sincerely said, “People around me have been going crazy lately, you better be careful.”

Yu Yuanyuan seemed unable to escape the madness, living up to her name, a plump girl who loved the world through food. Hearing about a seafood feast, she clung to Xu Xining, refusing to let go.

But when she saw the fox, it was like her soul was hooked, she couldn’t move, forgot about the food, just buried her head in the fox, inhaling deeply, like a drowning person suddenly on a ventilator.

Xie Yi, unable to bear it, pushed her face away…

As a person, Xie Yi was a charming, handsome man, girls were eager but embarrassed to pounce on him. Now, in fox form, his charm was undiminished, but he was caught and inhaled.

So pitiful.

Xu Xining saw struggle, reluctance, impatience, and polite resistance in the Good Man’s eyes, reaching out to hold the fox, “When the Forestry Bureau people came, you were the same, like a furry cancer patient in the late stage, dying without another sniff.”

She lifted the fox, smiling, “Good Man, why are you so likable, even Old Xu wants to keep you.”

Yu Yuanyuan suddenly said, “Wait, hold the fox away, I think I’m getting a brainwave.”

Xu Xining: “?”

Yu Yuanyuan slapped her thigh, serious, “I felt something was off, repeat, what’s special about this fox?”

Xu Xining: “He likes steak, Australian lobster, caviar, and occasionally eats red wine-baked snails.”

Yu Yuanyuan shouted, “Is that reasonable?!”

“It naturally uses the toilet, flushes, and washes its hands.”

Yu Yuanyuan roared, “Is that reasonable?!”

“Everyone loves it at first sight, I once took it for a walk, and a driver crashed into a pole just to look at it.” Xu Xining said, “I don’t dare take him out anymore.”

Yu Yuanyuan screamed, “Is that reasonable?!”

Xu Xining: “What are you trying to say?”

“Look at its face, think of your ex, the same irresistible charm, love at first sight!”

The detective pointed at the fox, declaring, “There’s only one truth! It! Is Xie Yi!!!”

Xu Xining was shocked, “Is that reasonable?!”

Yu Yuanyuan: “No, no, no, think carefully!”

Xu Xining, horrified, “Do I really need to think carefully?!”

Yu Yuanyuan shook her shoulders, “Foxes become spirits after eight hundred years, that’s how novels write it! Can’t you feel it? This fox exudes the same deadly charm as Xie Yi! Like a sword, slicing through everything!”

Yu Yuanyuan’s fingers radiated outward, poking the girl’s forehead.

Xu Xining, dizzy from the shaking, “To be honest… I don’t think Xie Yi has any charm.”

Xie Yi: “?”

Yu Yuanyuan quickly grabbed her phone, thrusting it into her hand, “If you don’t believe me, call Xie Yi now! I’ll watch the Good Man, I don’t believe they can appear at the same time!”
