If Samuel Chalmers isn’t human.
Scarlett Jennings had once considered this question.
She just didn’t expect that he would be the one to bring it up first.
"So, are you?"
Scarlett Jennings pursed her lips, not waiting for his answer, and directly said,
"When I was in the Otherworld, I searched for information related to the Chalmers Family."
Back then, she used the new phone her mom bought her to search for information about the Jennings Family, intending to see what differences existed between the Jennings Family of the Otherworld and this world.
Later, by some inexplicable impulse, she also tried entering Samuel Chalmers’ name.
She still remembered the search results that popped up.

The Otherworld had no record of Samuel Chalmers, just as it had no record of Scarlett Jennings.
Scarlett Jennings thought of two possibilities.
The first was that, like Donovan Jennings, the disappearance of a specific individual led to his nonexistence.
The second was that, like her mother, he simply did not exist in the Otherworld.
Scarlett Jennings guessed he was the second type.
Sure enough, she heard Samuel Chalmers softly say,
"Not entirely."
Born as Samuel Chalmers, in that sense, his current body is indeed human.
However, ever since he was awakened by the Heavenly Dao’s Fire Thunder, he became more than just Samuel Chalmers.
Yet, he didn’t explain further.
Scarlett Jennings seemed to understand that he didn’t want to talk about it, so she didn’t press further, only responded to his earlier question,
"I don’t care whether you’re human or anything else."
When she found out even her master and her mother were demons, Scarlett Jennings didn’t feel much about it.
What kind of existence they were wouldn’t affect her relationship with them.
Not just Magnolia Hearne, but anyone around her suddenly turning into a demon wouldn’t prompt such a question from her.
But Samuel Chalmers was different.
He is her partner with whom she has a marriage contract, the person who will walk with her through life, so Scarlett Jennings had to be certain of his thoughts.
Samuel Chalmers evidently understood this too, so he answered.
"My answer is the same as yours."
No matter whether she was human, demon, or half-demon, it didn’t matter to him.
In his eyes, she was always just herself.
Scarlett Jennings wasn’t surprised by this answer, though unsurprised, she still couldn’t help but feel a quiet joy deep in her heart.
That feeling was like the joy when a flower bud blooms.
Her eyes slightly curved, a smile tugged at her lips, she didn’t dwell on whether one was human or not, she held his hand again and continued walking forward with him.
Magnolia Hearne stood by a window on the second floor, watching from afar the backs of the two walking hand in hand.
Clearly, she was the one who personally planted the Peach Wood Mark in their palms.
But actually seeing the two really come together, she didn’t feel happy.
Instead, the heavy feeling in her heart became more evident.
Back then... did she make a mistake in secretly binding Samuel Chalmers and Scarlett together before he awakened?
Unable to hold back, she let out a low sigh, even the fox ears on top of her head drooped a little.
Luca Jennings immediately came briskly from behind, sensing the almost imperceptible change in her emotions, his face serious, he asked,
"What’s wrong?"
Saying this, he glanced in the direction she had been looking at, spotting their daughter and Samuel Chalmers walking hand in hand down the path in the village.
His heart sank slightly.
