Chapter 126 Jiang Jiu's Heart Knot

As if by some strange coincidence, Jiang Jiu sat next to him and listened to him talk about the past.

"So... you were so miserable? Then I can understand why you became the Ghost King."

Her tone was cautious, a little worried that excessive sympathy would make Yu Zimo feel uncomfortable, but if she heard such a tragic life story, she would not react at all, which seemed a bit cold-blooded.

"Well, during the time I was a little blind, I was bullied by many people."

Yu Zimo spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he was talking about something unimportant. In fact, these things that happened over time were not very important to him.

Compared to the long years he spent as a ghost, it was just a small fragment in his memory. If he didn't want to make Xiao Jiuer feel distressed, he wouldn't even bother to remember it.

But to Jiang Jiu's ears, it sounded like he was pretending to be indifferent, but in fact he was in extreme pain.

For a moment, I felt even more guilty towards Yu Zimo.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ignored you."

Jiang Jiu didn't know what was wrong with her, but she couldn't help feeling guilty towards them. Maybe this matter really had nothing to do with her and was not caused by her, but there was always a voice in her heart that seemed to say something.

"You must always repay the affection you owe them."

She didn't know what kind of feelings she owed Yu Zimo, but she couldn't ignore the guilt.

It seems that the more I come into contact with them, the clearer this feeling becomes.

"It's okay, it's all in the past. I don't care about it anymore."

Yu Zimo could feel the heartache and loss emanating from Jiang Jiu, and his attitude changed in an instant, and he began to comfort Jiang Jiu.

But he actually knew very well that Jiang Jiu was the kind of person who would care about you more the less you acted like you didn't care.

"No, no, no. This is the modern era. There aren't any nasty tyrants like that anymore. Well... I should say that no one can actually defeat you now."

Jiang Jiu waved his hands in panic and was about to say something when he suddenly remembered Yu Zimo's extraordinary strength. The words in his mouth changed for a moment and he didn't know what to say.

In the end, I could only speak incoherently.

"Anyway, that kind of terrible thing won't happen again. You can heal yourself to your heart's content in this era, and I'll do my best to help."

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath and made a promise that was not really a promise.

Yu Zimo was a little surprised that Jiang Jiu had such an attitude.

"Okay, but will you go with me to do something?"

He looked at Jiang Jiu leisurely with a determined look on his face, as if thinking about how to help him.

"Forehead...."

Hearing his question, Jiang Jiu was not surprised.

"I...I, I don't know either..."

Jiang Jiu said a little embarrassedly.

In fact, she didn't know much about the ancients, especially ghosts like Yu Zimo who died early and lived long. She couldn't even imagine why he would like her.

Or rather, her previous life.

Jiang Jiu didn’t think that she would live a long life in her previous life, or have a long life span that would be enough to attract Yu Zimo.

"Then let's get started now."

Yu Zimo suddenly looked serious, which made Jiang Jiu sit up straight.

Seeing that Xiao Jiuer seemed ready to listen attentively, Yu Zimo even felt a little reluctant to say the next words, but when he thought about the benefits he could gain by doing so, he cleared his throat again.

"When I died, I was only a teenager and still unmarried. Even though I met you later, you kept rejecting me. So please don't reject me this time, okay?"

Although he used a questioning tone, it somehow sounded seductive to Jiang Jiu's ears.

Jiang Jiu looked at him blankly. He didn't expect that after going around in circles, he still came back to this question.

She looked at Yu Zimo with a serious face, but in fact, the abacus beads in her mind were about to fall off. For a moment, she was even a little angry and laughed.

"You really are... Sima Zhao's heart."

Jiang Jiu took advantage of the fact that Yu Zimo didn't understand what she said and prepared to tease Yu Zimo unscrupulously. Anyway, the fact that he could still say that now meant that he should no longer be sad about his life experience.

What he did just now was just to trick this idiot girl into taking the bait.

As it turned out, she did fall into the trap, which made her feel bad for the other person, but the other person actually took the opportunity to seek benefits.

After Jiang Jiu finished speaking, Yu Zimo raised his eyebrows, which made Jiang Jiu feel inexplicably guilty.

As far as she knew, these men should be from another world and didn't know the history here, so he shouldn't understand.

Then she heard Yu Zimo speak in a slow tone.

"You don't think I don't understand, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Jiu felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. To be honest, this was not caused by her fear, but Yu Zimo's own "special effect".

Maybe this is the benefit of being the King of Ghosts?

It can automatically make people feel terrible.

“…Wrong.”

Jiang Jiu always slid down to her knees very quickly, and before Yu Zimo could say anything, she apologized directly.

Yu Zimo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The Xiaojiuer in front of him looked like he was afraid of being punished, as if he was so scary. In fact, he just wanted to make a joke. It seemed that there was still a long way to go.

If you want to pursue your wife, you have to use different methods.

"You don't have to be so afraid of me. I won't hurt you."

Yu Zimo felt like he had said this to Xiaojiuer many times.

Jiang Jiu was also stunned when he heard this and lowered his head.

She also realized that this was not the first time she had heard this. It seemed like everyone had said it to her. Of course, she knew that these men were trying to reassure her.

To put it bluntly, it lowered her guard.

But in fact, they didn't really hurt her. It was just that she cared too much about the abilities these men possessed, which were far beyond those of ordinary people. No matter how much Jiang Jiu wanted to ignore it, every time they used their abilities, Jiang Jiu would feel a sense of fear for no reason.

She is not of the same kind as them.

She is just an ordinary high school girl, but they all have special identities. This does not refer to the status and power of this era. At least they are within the same racial category and are all human beings.

But even so, there seems to be a huge gap between the rich and ordinary people, not to mention that they are even different species.

I still vaguely remember how nonchalantly Xiao Nianzhong killed those debt collectors, and how he could even directly create dolls that looked like them to replace them.

It can cause a person to die or disappear silently, or even many people to die.

This is too terrifying in Jiang Jiu's worldview. She still can't accept it until now, but she just suppresses it forcibly. As long as she doesn't think about it, it doesn't matter.
