Chapter 44 The Demon's Thoughts
"Heaven told me this because it wanted me to deceive you together, for the sake of this world."
The inner demon took a deep breath and continued.
"And you told me everything?"
Needless to say, Jiang Jiu was a little touched. How could this not be considered treating her with all his heart?
"Well, I don't want to lie to you. I didn't know I was the spirit of the Origin Divine Tree before. For so long, there was nothing interesting. They were all vague and meaningless."
"Hundreds of millions, tens of millions, millions of years seem like a fleeting moment."
"But during the time I've been yours, I've experienced all sorts of emotions I've never experienced before, which made me feel like I'm no longer an ethereal god, but a human being."
The inner demon's voice was exactly the same as Jiang Jiu's. Jiang Jiu was a little uncomfortable hearing her speak without that aggressive tone. It felt like she was the one speaking.
"As long as you like it."
In fact, the inner demon is the only one who truly cares about her, without any possessiveness, and only wishes the best for her. Although his identity and position have changed now, Jiang Jiu can't feel any hatred towards him.
"I am a tree spirit. I can transcend the heavens and control the remaining energy of this world to send you back. I wasn't kidding just now. As long as you agree, I will send you away."
Jiang Jiu downplayed the inner demon, but he could see the price behind it at a glance.
"And then you died?"
Jiang Jiu crossed his arms, his tone helpless.
"Every world has its day of decay, and this world is no exception."
The inner demon transformed into a human-shaped black mist and stood in front of Jiang Jiu, shaking his head slightly.
"In fact, the monk who loves you has long realized that I am not just a demon. It's just that I didn't believe it at that time, and no one else believed it either."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Jiu's eyes. Could Fo Jiang even feel this?
"Do you think I will be willing to leave after you tell me the truth?"
Jiang Jiu rubbed his temples because of a headache. It turned out that sentimentality would punish everyone who was soft-hearted.
She was obviously an innocent person brought into this world and could have just walked away, but now she is ready to sacrifice her soul and life because of her soft-heartedness. It sounds ridiculous.
"sorry."
The inner demon lowered his head and sincerely apologized to Jiang Jiu.
It was the first time that Jiang Jiu spoke to his inner demon so calmly, and he was still a little uncomfortable with it.
Suddenly, Jiang Jiu's mind flashed with what Chi Li had said. He seemed to have said something similar, saying that the Origin Divine Tree was about to be broken, but the problem could be solved as long as the Marriage Tree grew.
Now it seems that is not the case?
Jiang Jiu looked at his inner demon hesitantly, with thoughts swirling in his mind, not knowing whether he should say it out loud.
"You are hesitating, do you want to say something to me?"
Although the inner demon transformed into a human-shaped black mist without facial features, Jiang Jiu knew that she was looking at him.
"Chi Li said... if the Marriage Tree can grow into the next Origin Divine Tree, the crisis can be resolved."
Jiang Jiu said uncertainly.
"Indeed."
The inner demon nodded.
"?"
Jiang Jiu got a positive answer and was stunned on the spot.
Then why did she have to be sacrificed?
"However, this requires sufficient time. There is no longer enough time for the marriage tree to grow."
The next second, the inner demon answered Jiang Jiu's doubts.
"So, Sekirei lied to me."
Jiang Jiu fell into deep thought, unable to figure out why Chi Li lied to her.
"What's his purpose? Maybe I can ask him directly."
Jiang Jiu lowered his head and muttered to himself.
She has always been like this with Chi Li, speaking her mind.
"Don't alert the snake, he might be planning something behind the scenes."
However, the inner demon rejected Jiang Jiu's proposal at this time.
"Eh? Well, you're right."
A hint of confusion appeared on Jiang Jiu's face, but she didn't understand why Chi Li lied to her.
"Mother, I have two mothers now."
'Little Loach' was originally very quiet, but when he saw someone coming behind Jiang Jiu, he immediately started shouting loudly, which made Jiang Jiu, who was still immersed in his emotions, quickly withdraw.
"Oh? How come Senior Brother didn't know when you had a child?"
Yu Zimo's voice was filled with chilling coldness. Although he called himself a senior brother, he exuded the aura of a ghost king.
Jiang Jiu shuddered, even his hair stood on end, and he held the "little loach" in his hand again.
"Don't shout!"
Jiang Jiu's current mood can no longer be described as irritable. Whose dragon recognizes the wrong mother?
Now that this kind of accident has happened, I feel like I'm doomed.
I didn't think much about how long she would live, but I hope she doesn't get killed in bed in the next few days.
"Junior sister, are you feeling guilty?"
As he spoke, Yu Zimo's figure had quickly approached Jiang Jiu, and he was only an arm's length away from pulling him into his arms.
"Of course not! This is Long Xuan who raised this with me!"
Jiang Jiu assumed that "little loach" was something similar to a pet, and was completely unaware that her words were ambiguous.
“…”
Yu Zimo's face suddenly became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and his tone of voice also became unfriendly.
"A dragon can do that? But a lone person can't?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jiu was overwhelmed. She turned around and saw her inner demon. She immediately mouthed "Save me" to her as if she had found a life-saving straw.
The inner demon sighed and flashed between the two of them.
"Don't be jealous, or I'll punch you hard."
Yu Zimo originally wanted to step forward and grab Jiang Jiu, but when his inner demon stopped him, his face turned even darker.
"I will make you disappear sooner or later."
The inner demon didn't care about the harsh words he said, and even thought that the guy in front of him was too weak.
"If you can't even protect her, how can you expect me to disappear? If it weren't for me, she would have died eight hundred times already. Otherwise, how could she still be pointing fingers at you?"
The inner demon's words were as sharp as ever, and every word was piercing. Yu Zimo, who was about to attack, froze in place. If nothing unexpected happened, he must have remembered what happened before.
"You might as well practice hard with this time. Only if you can defeat me can you protect her."
The inner demon crossed her arms and put on an earnest and earnest attitude to persuade him. Compared with her previous violent sister who wanted to kill people at any time, Jiang Jiu felt a little unfamiliar with her for a moment.
In the end, Yu Zimo and his inner demon were in a stalemate for a moment, but the inner demon was still slightly stronger. He could only leave in a hurry with anger, and who knows if he would go to practice hard.
"You've really changed."
Jiang Jiu was amazed. He actually felt a little regretful after asking for help. He was afraid that his inner demon would take advantage of Yu Zimo again, which would be very troublesome.
"I can't help it. I've gained so many years of memories for no reason, and suddenly I've become an old man."
Although the inner demon said this, the words she used were still from the modern era, from ginger wine, and it sounded inexplicably funny.
