Chapter 177 Feeling a bit perverted

Jiang Jiu finally returned to Zixia Palace, but she didn't expect to see Xiao Nianzhong sitting in her room when she opened the door.

"Why...are you here?"

She remembered that Xiao Nianzhong had already returned to the Demon Realm, and logically should not have appeared in the Ninth Heaven.

"Where would you like to live?"

When Xiao Nianzhong noticed Jiang Jiu coming back, his back stiffened unnaturally for a moment, then he asked in a pretended nonchalant tone.

"Why do you ask that suddenly?"

Jiang Jiu could tell at a glance that Xiao Nianzhong was pretending, and she couldn't help but feel amused. However, she did not expose Xiao Nianzhong. Instead, she walked into the room slowly and sat opposite him.

“…”

The handsome demon god looked at Jiang Jiu without saying a word, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. His enchanting face couldn't be said to be distant or cold at this moment, and there was temptation hidden in his eyes.

Jiang Jiu felt uncomfortable being stared at. This was the first time since that day that someone came to her on their own initiative, and the tone of the questions they asked was so strange.

Although he didn't know what Xiao Nianzhong wanted to do, Jiang Jiu still answered honestly.

"Hmm...Nine Heavens is pretty good."

If you have to say which realm is better to live in, it would of course be the Ninth Heaven. The scenery here is beautiful and the spiritual energy is abundant. Objectively speaking, no one should be able to refuse it.

"good."

After hearing the answer, Xiao Nian nodded his chin and responded calmly.

The room returned to silence. The two looked at each other in silence. Jiang Jiu didn't know what to say, and Xiao Nianzhong had no intention of breaking the awkward atmosphere.

What Jiang Jiu didn't notice was that the corner of Xiao Nianzhong's mouth quietly dropped a pixel.

"How are you...recently?"

Jiang Jiu still felt that the atmosphere was too weird and couldn't help but speak first.

“....”

Xiao Nianzhong raised his eyelids and suddenly reached out to grab Jiang Jiu's wrist.

"!?"

Jiang Jiu was startled by his action and stood up from his chair.

Not to mention that Jiang Jiu was completely defenseless against Xiao Nianzhong, even if it was anyone else, there would be no way to escape the sudden attack of the demon god.

"not good."

Xiao Nianzhong raised his head, looked at Jiang Jiu with a very serious look, and gently uttered two words.

The handsome and evil demon god looked at Jiang Jiu with an expression that was hard to tell whether it was sadness or something else. For a moment, Jiang Jiu's brain was so bewitched that he froze on the spot and stared at him blankly.

Xiao Nianzhong exerted a little force on his wrist, and Jiang Jiu was pulled to his side. The distance was so close that Jiang Jiu could almost hear Xiao Nianzhong's breathing.

Despite the ambiguous and affectionate distance, she did not feel much fear.

It might be that there was no possessiveness or lust in Xiao Nianzhong's eyes, only endless sadness. This was nothing like that willful and unruly demon god.

Jiang Jiu stared at him blankly, feeling a sour feeling in his heart.

Perhaps without her, Xiao Nianzhong would not have become like this.

"You'll have a home."

Xiao Nianzhong suddenly said.

"?"

Jiang Jiu, who was still confused and had no place to go, felt his heart tremble inexplicably for a moment when he heard this.

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

Jiang Jiu felt that everything was strange. Ji Chen was also strange today and asked her what reward she wanted.

"You should have had it a long time ago."

Perhaps it was because Xiao Nianzhong's tone was too serious, Jiang Jiu felt dazed.

"Um.....Why, are you going to give me a home?"

Jiang Jiu said this for some unknown reason and almost made himself laugh.

"Can I become your family then?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nianzhong's expression became more serious, which made Jiang Jiu wonder if he was going to cause trouble.

"What's the meaning."

It’s not Jiang Jiu’s fault for being too vigilant. Xiao Nianzhong’s words really sounded like he was asking for a status with her.

“…”

Xiao Nianzhong lowered his eyes, his crow-feather eyelashes like small fans trembled slightly, and he actually showed a bit of fragility.

"Not a lover....but family."

He explained in a low voice.

"?"

Jiang Jiu was confused again and didn't quite understand what Xiao Nianzhong wanted to say.

"Can't family members do that too?"

Xiao Nianzhong's strange eyes flashed with a dark light, as if he was sad and upset, and there was even a hint of humility in his voice.

"...Can."

Although she didn't know what Xiao Nianzhong wanted to do, she felt that her stiff attitude seemed to hurt Xiao Nianzhong.

In Jiang Jiu's heart, he is still the little coal ball who cries and acts like a spoiled child, the little coal ball who becomes withdrawn and aggrieved to death on the spot if someone yells at him.

If it's just family, it shouldn't be that hard to accept, right?

Jiang Jiu thought uncertainly.

"Um."

He responded softly, loosening his grip on Jiang Jiu's wrist slightly. His fingertips lingered on her delicate skin for a long time before reluctantly letting go of her hand.

Jiang Jiu witnessed the whole scene, and his mood could only be described as "gross".

Would her family be so attached to her arm?

It feels a bit perverted.

"See you tomorrow."

Xiao Nianzhong looked at Jiang Jiu with deep affection, but still chose to stand up and leave.

"oh oh."

Jiang Jiu nodded blankly. After Xiao Nian left again, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"What the hell is going on here?"

She threw her body onto the bed helplessly, staring at the bed curtains in a daze, thinking that maybe she would know the answer tomorrow?

...

There is also time in the Nine Heavens. Although the immortals do not need to sleep, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west as usual.

When the sun rose again, Jiang Jiu was pushed onto a chair by the immortal servants who came in one after another.

"So....what is this for?"

Jiang Jiu was surrounded by immortal servants and began to dress her up. She always felt that this scene had a strange sense of déjà vu.

She vaguely remembered that a similar thing happened on the morning when Ji Ling wanted to force her to marry him.

"Don't worry, fairy. The Immortal Master has arranged a morning dew banquet today. You are the protagonist today, so you must dress up nicely."

The immortal servants all had joyful faces, which inexplicably calmed Jiang Jiu's uneasy heart.

Maybe things were not as she imagined.

"Ji Chen... uh... has the Immortal Master prepared anything?"

She remembered that Ji Chen asked her what reward she wanted yesterday.

"If the Immortal Venerable hadn't told us, how would we, the little immortals, have the chance to know? However, you are a great hero who has quelled the rebellion in the six realms, and your reward will surely be extraordinary."

"We are all immortal servants arranged by the Immortal Master to prepare gorgeous clothes for you. Fairy, you must be the focus of all the immortals today."

The immortal servants became more and more excited as they talked, and were even happier than Jiang Jiu himself.

"oh oh."

Jiang Jiu had been ignored for several days, and when this situation suddenly happened, he was a little at a loss.

She sat there obediently, letting the fairy servants fiddle with her. The figure in the mirror became more and more beautiful and elegant. Compared to her previous aloofness, she was more gorgeous and gentle today, looking even more gorgeous than a flower fairy.
