Suddenly, the figure leaning against the corner stood up, raising his head slightly. Zero could clearly see his pale face beneath his hair.
The Soul Devourer kept approaching Zero, and as it walked, wisps of black energy kept emanating from its body.
With each step he took, Zero's heart skipped a beat.
Finally, he stood before Zero.
Unlike his previous indifference, Devouring Spirit bowed respectfully and said:
"Owner."
Zero was a little confused. He pointed at the Soul Eater and said:
"Um, you..."
The Soul Eater looked at itself in confusion, then suddenly understood something, and reached out and swung its hand at itself.
The black aura that had been emanating from him disappeared completely, and his messy hair was tied up, revealing his true appearance.
Zero looked at the man before her, whose evil aura had vanished after some tidying up, leaving only a frail body, and asked uncertainly:
"Are you a Soul Eater?"
The Soul Eater nodded and continued to reply respectfully:
"Yes, Master."
What's wrong with you?
This wasn't just what Zero wanted to say; in fact, he asked it aloud.
It's hard to reconcile the slippery, dark Soul Eater from before with the handsome, wicked young man of today...
The Soul Devourer paused, then suddenly knelt down and said:
"Master, it's all my fault."
? ? ?
Zero was completely bewildered. Zi You, who had been clinging to him, got off him and looked curiously at the boy who called himself "Xiao Jiu".
What Xiao Jiu? Who is Xiao Jiu? Is it the Soul Eater in front of me?
Zero muttered to himself, and then Soul Eater said:
"It was because Xiao Jiu failed to remember Master earlier and almost hurt Master's friend. If Master wants to punish Xiao Jiu, then so be it."
After saying that, he pressed one hand to the corner of his eye and began to sob under his breath.
"Wait, stop."
Zero's mind is buzzing right now.
Who is he? Where is he? What is he doing?
Also, this kneeling boy in front of me, even though he's faking his tears, the whole scene just looks so weird...
Fortunately, this is a contractual space, so others can't see it.
etc!
What is he thinking...?
Kneeling, Xiao Jiu looked at Ling's face, which alternated between red and white, and stood up, asking with some concern:
"Master, what's wrong?"
Zero felt a chill for no apparent reason.
He stepped back slightly, cleared his throat, and asked in a seemingly serious manner:
"Ahem, um, Xiao Jiu, right? Could you explain what happened?"
Xiao Jiu nodded, looked at Ling, and said with a somewhat aggrieved expression:
“Little Jiu, Little Jiu has been separated from her master for a thousand years.”
"puff."
If Zero were drinking water, he was sure he would spit it out.
What millennium? He's not even twenty yet...
Seeing Xiao Jiu staring blankly at him, Ling regained his composure and said seriously:
"Go on."
Xiao Jiu nodded and then said:
"After being separated from his master in that great battle, Xiao Jiu wandered alone in this vast world. He went through many generations."
"Little Jiu doesn't know where you went, Master, but Little Jiu knows that you must be alive."
"Xiao Jiu has heard that the Soul Devourer of Gucheng can probe people's hearts and devour souls. It is the best way to find a master."
So, Xiao Jiu went to them for help.
"But who knew that they would trick Xiao Jiu? Not only did they not help Xiao Jiu find a master, they also tried to devour Xiao Jiu."
"Xiao Jiu was no match for them and was captured and trapped in the original Soul Devouring Chamber, the one you saw before, Master."
"Perhaps it was divine mercy, or perhaps it was because Xiao Jiu's longing for its master grew stronger. Not only was Xiao Jiu not devoured, it also devoured the spirit-devouring creature and broke free."
"Only then did I see my master again."
After saying that, he pounced on her, saying as he did so:
"Master! I've missed you so much!"
