Chapter 475 You Look a Lot Like Her
"No, why would I want to massacre everyone on the mountain?"
The male demon felt wronged: "I was hunted by humans for hundreds of years, and apart from fighting back, I never intentionally harmed any humans. These people on the mountain are no match for me, and they would never do anything to harm me. I have no reason to hurt anyone."
"If I really knew how to do these things, I would have done them already, wouldn't I?"
Yu Zhiyi felt a headache coming on: "I told you, I know you won't hurt people for no reason, but I can't guarantee that something won't happen in the future that will make you lose your mind."
"Besides, even if you don't kill anyone, what if you happen to be teasing someone and accidentally scare one or two people to death? That would be a lot of trouble, wouldn't it?"
Male Demon: "..."
"Do you really have to make them move out?"
Yu Zhiyi nodded: "That's right."
Having just experienced what happened to the Gan family, she has developed a psychological aversion to those with ill intentions and simply cannot feel at ease letting her loved ones live with a male demon who has lived for hundreds of years.
The fact that she didn't take him in immediately upon discovering him was the greatest act of leniency she could show.
The male demon seemed to be deep in thought.
Yu Zhiyi turned to leave.
But then the male demon's ethereal voice rang out: "I can't stand being alone, so stay with me."
Yu Zhiyi looked at the black bracelet on her wrist, her expression quite unpleasant.
She couldn't understand why there was such a shameless demon.
She had already said that she didn't want to have any contact with the demons, but without saying a word, that guy turned into a bracelet and wrapped it around her wrist.
She couldn't pick it off.
She couldn't possibly use the Thunder Spirit Talisman to blast her own wrist, so she could only angrily bring the male demon back to Willow Garden.
At that time, the people on the mountain had not yet gotten up.
Yu Zhiyi sat at the table, gritting her teeth as she looked at the black bracelet on her wrist: "What do you want in return for leaving?"
The male demon said in a voice only she could hear, "I don't trust you to find someone else to accompany you, so you'll have to come with me then."
He hadn't spoken to anyone in ages, and once he started, he went on and on: "Speaking of which, you look a lot like someone I've met before."
"No, it's not a person, it's a remnant soul."
"It's not that they look alike, but that they have a similar temperament. However, you are more cold-hearted than her, while she is much gentler than you. When she smiles, she is like a celestial being."
Yu Zhiyi remained silent with a cold expression.
The male demon didn't care: "But that girl is too pitiful. Her primordial spirit is tattered and there is not a single piece of intact flesh on her body. I wonder what she went through before she was born."
"Moreover, she can't remember anything. I guess she probably committed suicide."
"Of all the ways to die, the most likely cause is the memory of the primordial spirit zombie that dies by self-destruction."
Yu Zhiyi's expression shifted.
Died from a self-destruction?
She looks a lot like her?
She remembered that her master noticed her at a glance in the crowd, and even though he knew she had only ordinary talent with three spiritual roots and was past the best age for cultivation, he still took her as his disciple because her temperament was very similar to that of her sixth senior sister, also known as Fairy Tianyin.
Is this not a coincidence?
She asked, "When did you encounter that remnant soul?"
The male demon thought for a moment: "I can't quite remember, it must have been more than ten years ago? I was sleeping every day, I was practically half asleep."
Suddenly, the black bracelet twisted: "I remember now, there was a pregnant woman on the mountain back then, I think she was the second young mistress."
Yu Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
The male demon continued, "On the day her soul disappeared, the second young mistress happened to come to the back mountain. You have no idea how scared I was. I was terrified that my demonic energy would harm the child in her womb, so I ran down the mountain in one breath."
"I don't know what happened after that, but when I came back, the remnant soul had disappeared."
As he spoke, his voice trailed off.
"No...no way?"
For cultivators, especially those at the Nascent Soul stage, the instinct to seize another's body is ingrained in their very bones.
Even if you lose your memory, your instincts will not be forgotten.
Although the male demon remained asleep, he would occasionally wake up.
People were coming and going on the mountain, and he could understand what was happening on the mountain, even though he listened to the conversations intermittently.
For example, the second young mistress was so angry on the day she was about to give birth that she ran away. After giving birth to a daughter outside, the daughter was stolen.
For example, the little girl who was stolen was found and returned not long ago.
If he's not mistaken, that little girl and the one in front of him are the same person.
Considering the preceding and following context, it's hard not to think in ways that shouldn't be associated with it.
For example, did that remnant soul possess the child in the second young mistress's womb?
If that's the case...
The male demon felt strange, unsure whether to be happy about the reunion with his old friend or to lament that a little girl had been possessed before she was even born.
Yu Zhiyi pursed her lips and said with absolute certainty, "I am not her."
Male Demon: "..."
She repeated, "I'm really not her."
Instincts ingrained in our bones will never change.
For example, the Fairy of Heavenly Sound is kind-hearted, upright, and brave.
Even if she loses her memory, she would never attempt to possess someone else's body.
Besides, when her master first met her, he said that she looked a lot like someone.
It's just a resemblance.
Previously, outside the Tianji Sect, Master Lingyun also said something inexplicable: "You are not her."
In conclusion, she may have some similarities with Fairy Tianyin, but she is definitely not the product of being possessed by Fairy Tianyin.
Besides, even if she were to possess someone else's body, she should still retain the memories of the Heavenly Sound Fairy.
Even if she lost her memory after self-destruction, she should still retain the memories of Fairy Tianyin after she regained consciousness.
But she had nothing.
Seeing her certainty, the male demon didn't know whether he believed her or not, but he didn't argue anymore.
Yu Zhiyi asked curiously, "Speaking of which, you've lived in the Demon Realm for hundreds of years, do you know Fairy Fengxu?"
A puzzled voice rang out: "Fairy Wind and Willows? Who is that?"
Before Yu Zhiyi could feel disappointed, he added, "However, this name sounds so familiar..."
After that, no matter how Yu Zhiyi asked, the male demon refused to speak again.
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
So, is the Fairy of Wind and Catkins some kind of strange switch?
Or perhaps this person was once reprimanded by Fairy Wind and developed a psychological trauma towards her, which is why he deliberately pretended to be dead?
Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Yu Zhiyi stopped asking.
She placed a restriction on her wrist and then went about her business with peace of mind.
After staying on Mingshan Mountain for a few more days, Yu Zhiyi decided to return to the capital.
After all, she was still an official in the capital, and she also had the Yiluan Charity to manage.
She could disregard other things, but Yi Luan Charity was her life's work, and she couldn't ignore it.
She had originally planned to travel light, but when she arrived at the stable, she found that her parents, brothers, and other family members were all there.
Even my cousin was there.
Yu Zhiyi: "?"
“Yi’er, I’ve never been to Shengjing before. Would you mind if I went with you to broaden your horizons?” Jiang Siying said.
Yu Zhiyi naturally didn't mind.
Now that the danger has passed, they can stay as long as they want.
So what was originally planned as a solo trip turned into a trip with the whole family.
