Chapter 43 The Truth
Jiang Jiu never thought that one day she would be able to be a dragon's wet nurse. For some reason, the "little loach" that originally stuck to Xiaobai and Xiaocan suddenly followed her closely.
Because he was too young, weak, and unable to speak, Jiang Jiu didn't know what he was going to do.
Although Jiang Jiu practiced all day long, she would occasionally be attacked by men. Every time "Little Loach" was present, she had the illusion that she was leading a child astray.
So one day, she finally couldn't help it and tried to persuade Little Loach earnestly.
"You are of the Golden Dragon clan. You must be independent, don't you understand?"
Jiang Jiu knew that Little Loach could understand human language. It flew around Jiang Jiu twice, looking unhappy, and then...
She heard a crisp child's voice.
"Mother! Mother doesn't want me anymore?"
Jiang Jiu's brain froze for a moment, and cold sweat ran down his back.
She then looked around very vigilantly, and after making sure that no one heard her, she stuffed the "little loach" into her arms, found a deserted corner, and warned it with a serious face.
"I'm not your mother, don't claim to be your relative."
Jiang Jiu couldn't imagine what a beautiful scene it would be if those jealous people heard it.
But no matter what, she is the one who is unlucky, and Jiang Jiu is determined to nip the crisis in the bud.
"Hey? You're so lame after not seeing you for a few days? Are you a mother now?"
At the same time, a voice suddenly appeared in Jiang Jiu's mind. The teasing female voice sounded familiar and kind. Yes, it was her inner demon who had disappeared for a long time for no apparent reason and no one knew where she had gone.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's the grandson of the dragon ancestor. Do you think I look like someone who can lay dragon eggs?"
Jiang Jiu was speechless. What was wrong with her inner demon? He even came to tease her.
"I can't say for sure."
The inner demon thought for a moment and answered very seriously.
"?"
A huge question mark appeared on Jiang Jiu's head, and he always felt that the inner demon had said something vicious.
"Stop! You suddenly showed up, aren't you just trying to tease me?"
She instinctively thought that the appearance of the inner demon meant something very important was happening, so she didn't argue with her.
"Tsk, it seems he has become smarter."
The inner demon's voice was filled with disdain, as if to say, "A fool can think with his brain?"
"Sister took some time to meet Tiandao."
The inner demon's words were silent, but when they did, they were shocking. Jiang Jiu was not paying attention and let the "little loach" crawl out of her arms, surrounding her and calling her "mother".
It was as if hundreds of ducks were buzzing around my ears.
"Stop, stop, stop! Are you talking human language?"
Jiang Jiu's understanding of the inner demon's strength was refreshed again. Who can say that he can see the way of heaven just by seeing it?
Even Sekirei doesn't have this ability.
"That's not human language, listen to it or not."
The inner demon was deeply disgusted with Jiang Jiu's questioning, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but mock him.
"So, you know what."
Although Jiang Jiu didn't say anything, she has always been brooding over what the 'first generation of extraterritorial demon' said. Now that the inner demon has actually gone to meet Tiandao, perhaps it is time for her to know the truth.
"Heaven really wants to kill you for your wealth."
The inner demon spoke so seriously that Jiang Jiu couldn't tell for a moment whether she was joking or serious.
"So I'm really going to die, am I?"
Having prepared himself mentally for so long, Jiang Jiu wasn't even surprised when he heard the answer. He was as calm as if he wasn't hearing the news of her death.
"So, I'm here to take you away now."
The inner demon accepted Jiang Jiu's statement, and his tone was nonchalant yet indescribably reliable.
"ah?"
Jiang Jiu was stunned. The inner demon's words really shocked her.
"Now I'll give you a chance. As long as you abandon everything here, I can send you back to Earth."
The inner demon's words do not seem false and are very reliable.
"Of course I have to go back..."
Jiang Jiu was delighted and subconsciously wanted to agree to her inner demon, but soon many images flashed through her mind and she suddenly couldn't continue the words.
"It is indeed so."
The inner demon was not surprised at all, and acted as if she knew everything, as if Jiang Jiu's choice had been predicted by her.
"This world is indeed about to be destroyed, and you are the sacrifice summoned."
She continued.
"oh."
After getting the answer, Jiang Jiu pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly. It turned out that he was really cheated.
"And this time I learned one thing: I'm not actually your inner demon."
The inner demon's next words made Jiang Jiu stunned for a moment, and then he asked uncertainly.
"But... didn't even Bai Ze say you were it?"
In fact, Jiang Jiu also vaguely sensed something. Her inner demon was too unique, independent, not like a derivative of her, but more like a person...
Moreover, the inner demon is born from the obsession in the heart, which can only bring harm to the original body. However, her inner demon saved her time and time again.
"...Because that old man wasn't experienced enough and didn't see through it."
The inner demon said after a moment of silence.
"So what are you?"
Jiang Jiu felt a faint sense of anticipation and fear in her heart. The unknown was invading her nerves, but she wanted to continue touching it.
"I am the spirit of the Origin Sacred Tree."
The inner demon did not hide anything and directly revealed his identity.
"And you are the spark that will revive the Origin Sacred Tree."
After these words were spoken, Jiang Jiu felt that the air became a little quieter. She was not a fool and could understand what her inner demon said, but she could only understand half of it.
"In fact, I have been dead for many years. Only a remnant of my soul remains. It is only after sensing your presence that I merged with you and transformed into another side of you."
The inner demon spoke in an overly calm tone, which was completely inconsistent with her originally crazy personality.
"So...what do you mean?"
Jiang Jiu was stunned. It turned out that the inner demon that had saved her so many times was actually related to the Origin Divine Tree. She was also the Goddess of Pure Branches. It could be said to be a kind of fate.
"I just said it, the Origin Divine Tree has long been dead. As the foundation of this world, the withered trunk of the Divine Tree will collapse, and this world will be destroyed. You are the spark that will revive the Divine Tree."
"In other words, the envied Goddess of the Pure Branch is actually a way out that this world has left for itself."
When the inner demon speaks, she acts like both an insider and a bystander, changing her stance from time to time. One can sense how much turmoil is hidden beneath her calmness.
She struggled between Jiang Jiu's personality and the memory of the original sacred tree, and was powerless.
"So, if I die, you don't have to die?"
Jiang Jiu's train of thought is always so strange. The first thing that came to her mind was not the anger of being deceived, but if the inner demon is not her inner demon, she can burn herself and let the inner demon survive, isn't that a good thing?
“…”
The inner demon suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. Is this the focus?
