Krisa ran away crying.

She ran far away.

Very far away.

So far that the knights sent by "father" could not find any trace of her.

From then on, young Krisha began a life of wandering, constantly and continuously switching back and forth between half-death and near-death.

Her identity as a demon is too easy to recognize.

The kind-hearted people who originally wanted to adopt Krisa would make terrified sounds and then run away quickly after seeing the horns on her head.

Why?

Why do you do this?

When she was young, Krisa didn't understand, but when she was older, she realized why people were afraid.

This is a great era ruled by gods. The gods are kind and generous, protecting humans with supreme power, while the demons are evil fools who always kill humans and oppose the gods.

Therefore, people hate demons from the bottom of their hearts.

"Get out! Get out!"

"Great Sun God, please send down your fire and burn this witch to death!"

People either drove them away in disgust or chased them with swords.

Krisha couldn't find a place to settle down.

So she could only obey her mother's will and continue to escape, escape to a farther place, to a place where even she could survive.

With this thought in mind, Krisa wandered for a long time.

She once smiled as she picked up fruits that had fallen naturally on the roadside and took a bite, feeling the sweetness fill her heart.

She had cried and tried to join in the human children's games, but was excluded and pelted with stones, leaving her with bruises all over her body.

Later.

Laughter and crying are gone.

Only fear remains.

The older she gets, the more obvious Krisa's demonic traits become.

As long as people get a little closer, they can clearly see the horns on her head and the scales on her body, which are the symbols of the devil.

Then, more violence ensued.

They used hard stones and rotten, smelly food to hit the girl on the head from a distance, leaving her covered in stench and wounds.

They never tire of using force, either kicking or whipping, and take pleasure in the girls' begging for mercy and screams.

Some even tied the girl to the back of a carriage and let the carriage drag her against the ground.

mother……

Why is this happening?

After repeated tortures, the light in the girl's eyes completely disappeared, and since then, her emotions have been flawed.

I don’t know what joy is, and I don’t understand where sadness comes from.

“Actually, this is a good thing.”

Krisa said this, staring straight ahead with eyes wide open. There was no ripple, only eternal emptiness.

If she wasn't sad, she wouldn't cry, which could save her a lot of energy. After she lost her emotions, she ran away much faster than before.

As long as you run fast enough, you won't get hit.

Krisa shared her escape experience with Xu Xi. When she said this, her face was expressionless and her tone was flat.

She can't feel the cold, the heat, or the temperature of her heart.

Just like a robot.

Describe your past.

She told Xu Xi that muddy water was not tasty because it contained a lot of sand and gravel, which would make one's stomach uncomfortable after drinking it.

In comparison, the sewers in the city might be better, as the rats in them can still use them to satisfy their hunger...

"That's enough, Krisha!"

Xu Xi spoke suddenly, interrupting the girl's words.

He took a deep breath, his voice heavier than ever before: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, for making you recall so many painful things, I... I'm very sorry."

The sound of self-blame broke the tranquility in the air.

Especially after looking into Krisa's lifeless eyes.

That sense of self-blame and guilt.

Becomes deeper.

"Sorry...?" The demon girl looked confused. She couldn't understand why Xu Xi wanted to apologize to her. Was it because she said something she shouldn't have said.

The master can do no wrong, and the sun that redeemed her can do no wrong.

Krisa felt this sincerely.

Since Xu is correct.

Then the one who is wrong should be me, right?

Thinking of this, Krisa looked at Xu Xi and suggested sincerely, "I must be useless if I put you in such a difficult position. Please abandon me."

The girl thought that useless items should be thrown away.

After all.

This is how she was thrown out by her "father".

The witch thinks she has no advantages except that she is very obedient.

Even though she liked Xu Xi very much, even though she wanted to stay with Xu Xi for the rest of her life, even though she never wanted to wander around again, if Xu Xi chose to abandon her, she would definitely leave as far away as possible.

Just like once her mother asked her to run away, she obediently ran away for a long time.

Yes.

Just be obedient.

Krisa sat there obediently, with her fingers crossed on her thighs, waiting for Xu Xi's verdict, telling her to get out of this beautiful and dreamy home.

I feel a little reluctant, but there is nothing I can do.

After all, I am so ugly, incompetent and despicable.

It is only natural to be abandoned.

We should be content with the time we are treated so tenderly. How can we ask for more?

"..." Krisa sat there quietly, still with that blank look on her face, but her crossed fingers began to rub unconsciously.

It was only a few seconds of waiting, but it seemed to stretch out infinitely.

The girl who had lost her love also felt inexplicably uneasy.

finally.

She waited until the final "judgment".

The warm and familiar broad hands gently covered Krisa's head, moving and stroking it left and right, and a faint warmth and comfort were transmitted to her.

"I will never abandon Krisha."

Xu Xi said so.

His voice was soft, but his tone was firm, and full of heartache and sympathy.

"Eh?" This result was obviously beyond the girl's expectations. She uttered a dull sound of surprise, which was unexpectedly cute. She raised her head and looked towards Xu Xi.

"Really, Mentor?"

she asked.

"Yeah, really."

Xu Xi replied.

The misfortune that had been shrouding me since birth suddenly disappeared, and the beauty that only appeared in dreams now truly shines into reality.

Like a ray of light, bringing brightness to the girl.

Krisa was furious for a long time.

She thought that if it were in the past, she would have laughed out loud with joy or cried with emotion.

But after her emotional disability, she never experienced these two emotions again.

"……Thank you."

In the quiet meditation room.

The girl suddenly felt a little sour at the tip of her nose.

Maybe she was tired from practicing meditation, she thought.

…

[You are surprised by the witch's talent, but what you care more about is the witch's past and experience]

[Abuse, bullying, hunting, abuse, torture... Krisa has suffered almost all the evil deeds you can imagine. Her life is full of suffering. If she was not young, she might have suffered something irreparable.]

[You can't help but wonder if human malice exceeds the demons in the abyss]

[You realize that simply cultivating Krisha's power is not enough]

[You also need to cultivate Krisa's personality and make her an independent person who can live well even if she leaves you.]
