Chapter 73: What is unattainable when young will haunt you for the rest of your life.
It was the first time in Jiang Jiu's life that she was coaxed so directly. She sobbed, but her mood miraculously eased a lot.
What you cannot get when you are young will haunt you for the rest of your life.
In the past, whenever she told her parents about being wronged, they would brush her off with something like, "Then you have a problem too. Why do others bully you but not others?" or "It's not easy for parents either. Can you please stop causing trouble at school?"
Over time, Jiang Jiu began to hate socializing and confiding in others, whether they were friends or relatives. He only liked to immerse himself in his own world.
Only the paper man would not betray her.
And now, it’s a little funny to say that her favorite paper man actually coaxed her.
Seeing that Jiang Jiu was no longer crying so miserably, Xiao Nian continued speaking.
"The treasures in the ruins are all next door. They are all yours."
"If it's not enough, I'll order the demon guardians to search the demon world for it. I'll find you everything you want."
How many women don't like pearls and jade? In the past, whether in the demon world or the human world, all the women he had seen loved gold, silver and jewelry. He guessed that Jiang Jiu would like them too, and it would be most appropriate to use them to coax her.
Since Xiao Nianzhong said so, he can really do it. Anyone who is comforted in this way with all his strength will gradually calm down his aggrieved emotions.
Jiang Jiu's tears finally stopped and he stopped sobbing.
After a long while, he stammered and uttered two words.
"Need not."
Xiao Nianzhong didn't expect to be rejected. The whole ball of fur looked a little wilted, with its little tail and wings drooping.
But none of this matters, as long as Jiang Jiu doesn't cry.
The air was strangely silent for a moment, and Jiang Jiu asked uncertainly, his rusty brain turning.
"Have you really recovered your memory?"
After calming down, Jiang Jiu felt something was not right. Only Xiao Nianzhong, who had not recovered his memory, could coax her like this.
If it was the complete form of Xiao Nianzhong, the demon god born from the beginning, would he really be so patient?
Although he now has the aura of a demon god, it seems to be a little lacking. At least compared with Yu Zimo, he is slightly weaker in aura. However, the demon god and the lord of the ghost realm should be of the same level.
However, Jiang Jiu was just a little confused and didn't delve into it any further.
"No doubt about it, my recovery of my memory is a good thing for you, isn't it?"
Xiao Nian answered evasively.
Even though his memory is incomplete now, he believes that there are only a handful of people in the six realms who can defeat him. With his protection, Jiang Jiu will not encounter any danger in the future.
"?"
Jiang Jiu still couldn't match Xiao Nianzhong's brain waves, but since he had recovered his memory, according to the plot, he should return to the demon world.
"Well, you can go back to the demon world and deal with them."
Jiang Jiu said as a matter of course.
He was seriously injured and stranded in Tianji Sword Tomb because of the group of demon guards who betrayed him.
They thought Xiao Nianzhong was a demon god who could be killed, but they didn't know that Xiao Nianzhong was a demon fetus and would never truly die.
Now that his memory has been restored, according to Xiao Nianzhong's personality, he will definitely go back to settle the score with them.
Xiao Nianzhong was really pissed off. Sometimes he really wanted to shut this woman's mouth. That 37-degree mouth could always accurately say the words that made him angrier.
If I had known earlier, I should have ignored her and let her be sad for a while longer to relieve the hatred in my heart.
"Who said I'm going back?"
Hearing Xiao Nianzhong's gritted teeth question, Jiang Jiu was stunned. He won't go back to the Demon Realm?
So what should he do? He can’t stay in the world of cultivation, right?
"So you want to stay?"
Jiang Jiu asked cautiously.
Xiao Nianzhong said "hmm" as a matter of course, his furry body jumping in Jiang Jiu's palm, with his chest puffed out, as if to say, "I'm so nice, am I willing to stay and protect you, a silly woman?"
It’s a pity that he was too short and Jiang Jiu couldn’t understand what he was doing at all.
"Oh, all right then."
Although Jiang Jiu didn't understand, she believed that Xiao Nianzhong must have his reasons for doing this. She guessed that Xiao Nianzhong might have something else to do in the world of cultivation.
Immediately, Jiang Jiu got up and walked down from the bed, preparing to go next door to take away the treasures collected by Xiao Nianzhong, and then leave the ruins.
The little coal ball feasted on her spiritual energy for so long that her cultivation progress could not be improved. This little compensation should not be a big deal to the demon.
After wasting so much time, she decided to take action.
"?"
Xiao Nianzhong didn't get what he imagined, Jiang Jiu's extremely grateful, touched, and even loving reaction to him. The whole fur ball was stunned in Jiang Jiu's hands, looking very cute.
...
The so-called ruins actually look like the residence of a hermit, and the room where Jiang Jiu just slept is the room of this hermit.
It was more beautiful here than Jiang Jiu had imagined, and there were no strange creatures in it.
There is a portrait of a beautiful woman hanging in the center of the lobby. The corners of the portrait are a little yellowed, probably from being rubbed repeatedly.
There is a jade hairpin made of mutton-fat on the table in the lobby. It feels delicate and warm, and it makes people feel very happy when holding it in the hand.
"It seems like we have destroyed someone else's house."
Jiang Jiu asked anxiously.
"The stone door outside hasn't been opened for at least thousands of years. It's unlikely that the owner of this residence is still alive."
Xiao Nianzhong explained calmly.
"Most of what's here are medicinal herbs from top-grade spiritual plants, and some demon beast inner cores suitable for use as medicine, all over a thousand years old. Apart from this jade hairpin, there's not much else."
When Jiang Jiu left, he took the medicinal herbs with him. He took one last look at the beauty in the portrait, but felt a slight sense of regret in his heart.
Jiang Jiu walked out of the ruins and saw the familiar desert outside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xiao Nianzhong did not lie to her.
"It's still a long way to go before we reach the Monster City."
Since Xiao Nian has recovered his memory and has no intention of killing her, and is even very easy to talk to, he shouldn't refuse Jiang Jiu's small request, right?
"Humph, it's still more than ten miles away."
Xiao Nianzhong snorted when he thought of Jiang Jiu's indifference just now.
The little furball also has a temper, but Xiao Nianzhong will not choose to have a cold war with Jiang Jiu. Instead, he will get angry quietly and only show it a little bit.
"are you angry?"
Jiang Jiu heard the "hum" and asked with a bit of amusement.
She remembered that Xiao Nianzhong liked to flatter her, so it should be okay to praise him at this time, right?
"Your human form is very handsome, I like it very much, don't be angry."
Jiang Jiu thought about it and decided that this should be the only reason. Besides, what she said was the truth. Xiao Nianzhong's human form was indeed extremely handsome, shocking the world and making ghosts cry.
"uh-huh."
The tsundere demon god was coaxed into submission with just a few words, and his fur-covered face even turned red.
With anticipation, Jiang Jiu's journey was no longer as desperate as it was at the beginning, but he began to appreciate the scenery of the desert along the way.
