Chapter 49 What is Love?

"But your world and the people should not be traded for the one I love."

Chi Li's words were like a sharp blade that cut people and made them bleed, just like Ji Chen's heart now, which was bleeding uncontrollably.

"I won't!"

Ji Chen's words were pale and powerless, even he himself was not sure. To Chi Li's ears, they sounded no different from a clown.

An unconcealable look of sarcasm appeared on Chi Li's face, and the look he gave Ji Chen was hard to tell whether it was pity or ridicule.

"If the Immortal Master doesn't make up his mind sooner or later, you will lose both sides. You will lose the ginger wine and the people you protect."

He walked leisurely past Ji Chen, leaving only this sentence, then ignored Ji Chen and left the courtyard.

Ji Chen, who was originally ready to ask for an explanation, froze in place for a long time without moving. No one knew what he was thinking, whether he was struggling, feeling guilty, or in pain.

“A little wine…”

An unknown amount of time had passed before Ji Chen let out a faint sigh, which then dissipated into the air and no one heard.

...

At that time, Jiang Jiu was still in the lower world, and he and Xiao Nianzhong were in the Zhao Mansion with a group of young children.

"Sister Fairy, you are so beautiful."

The child had only heard of the name of Fairy Qingyuan and knew that she was very powerful, but he had no real sense of how powerful she was. Therefore, he was not as reserved as Zhao Weilan and dared to get close to her and praise her.

"You'll be pretty when you grow up."

Jiang Jiu was amused. This body was created by heaven and indeed had a beauty that ordinary people could not reach, but to her, it had no meaning and even caused serious psychological disorders for her.

After all, the last thing a socially anxious person wants is someone watching her for no reason.

But now, her social anxiety has been cured... right?

Jiang Jiu suddenly realized that she no longer seemed to be resistant to communicating with others without realizing it. She was much more open than before. Perhaps this could be considered an improvement?

"My sister is indeed beautiful, but she is mine."

Xiao Nianzhong clung to Jiang Jiu, his possessiveness written all over his body, especially when Zhao Weilan got close to Jiang Jiu, he would immediately become alert.

If he looked like his true self, all the hair on his body would probably stand up.

"Don't be jealous with a child."

Ginger wine makes you bald.

"But....they clearly have admiration for you in their eyes."

Xiao Nianzhong pointed at the children surrounding Jiang Jiu, his handsome face full of dissatisfaction. In his eyes, only Jiang Jiu was so simple and annoying, and he thought everyone else was innocent.

The reality is that no one doesn't covet her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhong suddenly imagined their future together. Wait until this world is destroyed, wait until Jiang Jiu leaves here...

He will not be able to participate in Jiang Jiu's life in the future. No matter if she is with anyone else or is coveted by others, he can do nothing about it and can only die with this world.

Unspeakable panic instantly enveloped Xiao Nianzhong.

He originally thought that he was very strong, but when he thought about the future like this, he, a demon fetus, actually felt scared.

Xiao Nian pulled the corner of his mouth again, and a hint of bitterness accidentally revealed in his expression, which made Jiang Jiu keenly notice that something was wrong.

Jiang Jiu knew that Xiao Nianzhong never had any serious thoughts. He was simple and unrestrained. He did whatever he wanted and rarely had any worries. But now his expression was clearly different from his usual one.

"Have you... encountered anything recently?"

Jiang Jiu analyzed for a long time and felt that there was nothing about him that could make Xiao Nianzhong feel weird. He immediately guessed that something might have happened in the Demon Realm, so he asked cautiously.

"Huh? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Xiao Nian pulled himself out of his thoughts and saw Jiang Jiu's worried expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a relaxed manner.

"Because you seem... unhappy."

Jiang Jiu was extremely sensitive to people's emotions. No matter how Xiao Nianzhong pretended, she could sense it. Now that she saw Xiao Nianzhong's expression, she was even more certain that he was hiding something from her.

"I'm not unhappy. I'm very happy to be able to get rid of those guys and be alone with you."

Xiao Nianzhong did not lie. He cherished every minute with Jiang Jiu because... there would not be so many opportunities in the future.

"Well... okay, if there's anything that really concerns you or is very troublesome, please tell me."

Seeing that Xiao Nianzhong had no intention of telling her, Jiang Jiu had no choice but to give up asking.

"If so, will you help me?"

Xiao Nianzhong suddenly leaned closer to Jiang Jiu, his tone mixed with seriousness and ambiguity.

"Hmm? Of course."

Jiang Jiu was stunned by the handsome face in front of him, and his brain froze for a moment before he answered subconsciously.

"Then give me more love."

Xiao Nianzhong stared at Jiang Jiu's lips intently, his eyes seemed to be tempting her, and his eyes were filled with deep affection that made Jiang Jiu fall in love with him.

The demon god who is the most difficult to have emotions fell in love with a person from another world with no future, but was willing to sink into it and even willing to give up his life.

Jiang Jiu looked dazed for a moment. For some reason, she seemed to hear a farewell in Xiao Nianzhong's words.

bid farewell?

Jiang Jiu felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart, but he still looked away silently, avoiding the heat in his eyes.

"Little Coal Ball, don't act like a spoiled child on purpose."

She tried to escape again, but she had no choice but to escape. She didn't know if the so-called "goodbye" was an illusion, but she would definitely say goodbye to Xiao Nian in the end. It was a destined result.

"Can't you just lie to me?"

Xiao Nianzhong pulled the corners of his mouth into a bitter smile, not caring that there were other children present, and directly hugged the person in his arms, his voice bitter and hoarse.

“That’s not the case…”

Jiang Jiu wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.

"Just for a moment, just for a moment. If you really don't like me, you should push me away when I kiss you."

Xiao Nian murmured in a heavy tone, and Jiang Jiu couldn't even tell whether he was talking to himself or her.

"sorry...."

Jiang Jiu was really going crazy. She was not completely without feelings for Xiao Nianzhong. She was also a human being. When her feelings were deep, she couldn't control herself from sinking into them. But this would obviously hurt Xiao Nianzhong.

Maybe she did something wrong. She shouldn't have indulged herself in him every time before. She should have pushed him away.

The two of them had different thoughts. It was not until Zhao Weilan pushed open the door of the room with tea and pastries that Jiang Jiu came to his senses and subconsciously got up from Xiao Nianzhong's arms.

But Zhao Weilan still saw it clearly.

"Fairy, am I here at the wrong time?"

Zhao Weilan was also uncomfortable, but it was obviously inappropriate to withdraw now, so she asked with an embarrassed look on her face.
