Happy Birthday Night
The young demon nodded, looking very serious.
But when Jian Zhen thought about the demon's character, which was not easy to talk to, and the fact that if he really came to him, it might not only be him who would be hurt, but also himself, Xiao Cao immediately woke up.
Jian Zhen shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
The young demon was puzzled: "Why?"
Jian Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Solve your own problems yourself. If he bullies me, I will bully him back."
The young demon was stunned.
In the setting sun, the fair and tender young man in front of him had curved eyebrows and eyes, like the most eye-catching color in the sky. The class bell rang, attracting his attention.
Jane really said: "I have to go back."
The ring was returned, still retaining a little bit of his body temperature.
"goodbye."
The young demon looked at his leaving back and suddenly felt a little dazed. What kind of person would be worthy of such a person?
evening.
Jane really finished school.
On the way back, the little yellow-haired boy was particularly happy, saying that tomorrow was the Demon Clan's Yu Lan Festival, which was the day they celebrated their liberation. That day was the day when the Demon God came and saved the millions of people of the Demon Clan. On this day, the entire Demon Clan would celebrate together, and the academy would also have three days off to celebrate the festival together.
Jane was really happy because of the holiday.
When he returned and saw Ye Jisheng, he was overjoyed.
Ye Jisheng's eyes were always on him, those red eyes were dark and deep, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After Jian Zhen finished speaking, she looked at him strangely and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Jisheng walked with him on the street and said calmly, "Are you happy just because of this kind of thing?"
Jian Zhen: “…”
What is this kind of thing?
Isn't this his own birthday!?
Xiao Cao said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "What else can it be?"
I thought Ye Jisheng couldn't say anything else, but he just asked casually: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Jane really shook her head and said, "No!"
Think about it again carefully.
Xiao Cao rubbed his wrist and said, "My wrist is a little itchy today."
Ye Jisheng sneered: "Did you take something from someone dirty today?"
thing?
Jian Zhen really couldn't think of what dirty things he could have taken at school for a moment. It would have been fine if she didn't think about it, but when she thought about it, she became more or less stiff.
That jade pendant!
The token given to him by the demon youth when he confessed his love to him!
Jian Zhen felt a little guilty, although Xiao Cao didn't know why she felt guilty, so she just whispered, "It seems like I took it, but why does my wrist itch?"
Ye Jisheng said: "That is my soul curse."
Jian Zhen: “Ah?”
Eyes met.
Jian Zhen came to a conclusion and clapped his hands: "Is your soul spell allergic to the jade pendant?"
Ye Jisheng said calmly: "My magic power will produce resistance to other demons. You should not have taken it for long, so you will only feel a little uncomfortable."
Jane was really surprised: "How could this happen?"
Could this be a side effect of some demonic spell?
"Oh." Ye Jisheng replied calmly, "Because I am narrow-minded."
Jian Zhen: “…”
He knows?
Does he know what kind of person he is?!
Ye Jisheng glanced at Xiaocao's stunned expression, raised his eyebrows, and smiled, "What's wrong?"
Jian Zhen swallowed her complaints and said, "Well, then you are easily angered."
Ye Jisheng said: "That's not the case."
Jane was really surprised, how could he not be angry with this temper?
"After all." Ye Jisheng said as if he was talking about something ordinary: "Anyone who dares to disobey me will die."
Jian Zhen: “…Yeah.”
As the two talked, they rode the Phoenix back to the Demon Palace.
The night fell a little late today. It was supposed to be an ordinary day, and everyone in the Demon Palace was making normal preparations for tomorrow's celebration. However, what made Jian Zhen a little worried was that today was a red moon.
The night of the red moon is when the curse on Ye Jisheng takes effect and he is prone to going crazy.
After entering the night.
Jian Zhen was a little uneasy, but he hadn't seen Ye Jisheng since he returned to the Demon Palace. While drinking the Jade Dew, he asked the maid, "Where is the Demon Lord?"
The maid replied, "Your Majesty goes into seclusion every moonlit night to suppress the evil spirit."
Jian Zhen had never asked about this before, because the demons rarely discussed this in the Demon Realm Hall, so he asked, "Why was he cursed like this?"
The maid's face changed when she heard this, as if Jane was really talking about something horrifying.
Jane blinked in confusion.
The maid held back for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Actually, I don't really know the exact time, I just heard that..."
Jian Zhen: "What did you hear?"
"I heard that the curse on the Demon Lord..." The maid said with some fear: "It is a punishment from heaven."
Jane was really shocked: "God's punishment?"
Why would God create divine punishment?
Jian Zhen's mind was suddenly confused. He asked, "Why? Is this the calamity he must go through to pass the Spiritualization Stage and become a god?"
The maid shook her head and said, "I heard that the Lord had already passed the catastrophe of the Divine Transformation Stage and became a god. This heavenly punishment was sent down after he became a god. The Three Realms have always said that it was because the Lord was cruel and merciless and slaughtered people in the sacred mountains that he angered the gods and sent down heavenly punishment."
Jian Zhen said: "Then why did he want to massacre Lingshan?"
The maid was shocked when she was asked. She knelt on the ground and said, "I don't know about this either. It happened tens of millions of years ago. I'm afraid only His Majesty and the High Priest know about this."
Jane Zhen didn't want to embarrass others, so she said, "I know."
The maid then stepped back.
Jian Zhen was originally a little grass with a very indifferent heart. He was not interested in the affairs of the immortals and demons, nor was he interested in exploring what happened in the past. But after getting along with the people of the demon clan, he slowly learned more and naturally had the idea of exploring. However, this was all a matter for the future. Tonight was the night of the full moon, so he was more or less worried.
The moonlight gradually climbed up the branches.
The red moon dyed the entire sky crimson.
Jian Zhen couldn't sleep after drinking the Jade Dew.
But as a pregnant woman, she couldn't resist sleepiness at all. When Jane Zhen was drowsy and almost asleep in bed, she suddenly felt a cold breath coming from behind her.
Almost instantly.
Jane really woke up.
The candlelight in the house had gone out at some point, and only the red moonlight outside slowly fell on the white carpet, bringing with it a lingering sense of weirdness.
Jane Zhen turned around, but couldn't see the face of the person next to her.
In the silent night sky, Ye Jisheng seemed not to even breathe. He half-lying on the bed, his handsome face half-hidden by his black hair, his whole body cold, like a dead person.
Jian Zhen was startled. He tried to wipe Ye Jisheng's hand, but he cried out softly, "It's so hot."
The familiar red soul pattern was faintly visible on Ye Jisheng's pale skin. Jian Zhen didn't know what it was before, but now he knew: it was a punishment from heaven.
Under the crimson moonlight.
Ye Jisheng suddenly spoke, his voice was chilly and a little hoarse as if he was suppressing something: "Sleep."
Jane Zhen: “Oh.”
The grass lay down again.
The night was quiet, with a red moon in the sky. He lay quietly beside Ye Jisheng, thinking about something at first, then slowly becoming drowsy, and even leaning against his arms unconsciously.
It felt like a century had passed.
When Jian Zhen woke up from his sleep again, the night outside was still dark. He raised his eyes and saw the person lying beside him, and he was completely nestled in his arms.
Ye Jisheng's skin was burning hot, and the man's eyes were as red as if crying blood. He said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Jian Zhen had just woken up and said dazedly, "A little bit."
Ye Jisheng wanted to laugh after hearing this answer, but for some reason, he couldn't.
Jian Zhen continued in a gentle voice: "I'm afraid you will feel very uncomfortable if you continue like this."
Ye Jisheng saw him put his hand on his face and tested it, then said, "It's so hot, why was your body cold when you came over just now?"
The pain of the soul curse that gnaws at the bones and drills into the soul is branded on the body, like an endless fire that can never be burned out in the body.
In the past, every time this day came, he would go crazy because of the curse and want to kill people, destroy things, and vent his troubles in various ways. In fact, this kind of pain was not unbearable for him, he was just simply irritated. He didn't know what he was worried about. The less he knew and the less he could find, the more annoyed he became.
Ye Jisheng said, "Because I had soaked in the cold pond before coming here."
Jane really asked him: "Will that make you feel better?"
Ye Jisheng looked at his concerned eyes and suddenly remembered the reason why he came here, because Jian Zhen was here. Over the past tens of millions of years, every full moon night made him extremely irritated, except for the night when Jian Zhen appeared. When he first saw her in the illusion, he was so angry that he almost lost consciousness. But when Jian Zhen appeared, he was no longer annoyed.
Jane Zhen waved her fair little hand in front of his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"
Ye Jisheng rubbed his brow and said, "The cold pond can only suppress it temporarily."
Jian Zhen sat up and said, "That's better than doing nothing right now. Hurry up and get up. Let's go to the cold pond again."
Ye Jisheng didn't want to move.
Jian Zhen pulled his arm: "Hurry up, if you don't go, I can't sleep either!"
Ye Jisheng smiled and said, "You were sleeping very soundly just now."
Jian Zhen: “…”
Why is this person so vindictive?
Finally, under Jian Zhen's pulling, the Demon Lord, who almost no one dared to approach on a red moon night, was dragged to the Cold Pond to take a bath. As the name suggests, the Cold Pond is the coldest place. The Demon Realm is a hot place, and the existence of the Cold Pond is extremely rare. One can feel the chill just by getting close to it.
Ye Jisheng put a shield over Jian Zhen to isolate her from the cold.
Jian Zhen sat by the cold pond with a small blanket over her and said, "You must soak in it well. Just make it through the night."
Ye Jisheng sat in the cold pond, the icy water soaking through his body, his black hair draped behind him, his eyes tightly closed, his pale skin and the deep red veins on his body gave off a strange beauty.
Jane Zhen was lying on the couch next to her.
He had just woken up from a nap and was not sleepy at all. He said, "You should be more cheerful. Tomorrow is the celebration day. I heard from them that it is also your birthday. All the demons will celebrate for you."
There was silence all around.
Just when Jian really thought Ye Jisheng wouldn't speak.
The man sitting on the cold pond whispered, "They are celebrating that the demons are no longer enslaved, not my birthday."
Jane was really stunned.
Such words may not sound reasonable at first glance, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the deep meaning and the meaning behind them.
Jian Zhen's voice was gentle. He sat up and said, "While they are celebrating this day, they are also loving you."
Ye Jisheng sneered: "Ai Dai?"
The demon god's temperament is unpredictable, even a little wantonly crazy, but within that madness he is extremely calm and rational.
"If the person chosen as the demon god is not me." Ye Jisheng's voice sounded even colder in the cold pond: "No matter who comes, they will love him."
Jane was really stunned.
Or rather, he had never thought about it that way at all.
And for some reason, sitting in the cold pond with the chill air lingering around him, without even looking back, but just from his back, he seemed extremely lonely.
The red moon is in the sky.
It casts a strange light.
Jian Zhen clenched his hands and asked softly, "Chosen, why did you say chosen? Isn't it what you want to pass the Spiritualization Stage and become a God?"
It was quiet all around.
The cold air in the cold pond is chilly.
Ye Jisheng said, "I don't know."
Jian Zhen: “Ah?”
"I have forgotten everything that happened ten million years ago after I came out of Wanmie Mountain and transformed into a divine body." Ye Jisheng said calmly, "I don't have any impression at all."
Upon hearing this, Jian Zhen asked, "Then why do they all say that you slaughtered Lingshan after coming out of Wanmie Mountain?"
"Oh, that one." Ye Jisheng sneered, "That was indeed what I did."
Jane was really curious: "Didn't you forget? Why?"
Ye Jisheng spoke slowly, his calm words carrying an endless amount of danger, and he said lightly: "Because they deserve to die."
Jian Zhen: “…”
Is this person so willful?
With no memory at all, the reason for the massacre of Lingshan was just based on intuition?
Xiaocao was stunned.
Jian Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Even if you have forgotten, someone should know what happened ten million years ago. Do you want to go and find it back?"
Ye Jisheng sneered and said, "It is enough for me to just find my own strength. As for those past events, since they no longer exist, what is the point in finding them back?"
Jian Zhen curled her lips and said, "You're lying. If you really don't care, why would you go to Lingshan to kill people?"
Ye Jisheng: "What did you say?"
A certain grass covered himself with a cloak timidly: "I didn't say anything, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep! !"
Day 2
Because she stayed up late last night, Jian Zhen slept until noon. It was bright outside and the main hall of the Demon Palace was decorated with lights.
I don't know how I got back to bed.
Jian Zhen yawned, got up, washed up, and immediately went to the demon world, where she saw the maid and an old acquaintance outside.
Yan Ji came over and bowed, saying, "My Lord."
Jian Zhen also nodded and said, "Hello."
Yan Ji was a little surprised. She had been out doing things and had not been back much during this period. She just heard that there was a future lord who was pregnant with a little demon god in the hall, so she had always been worried that this lord would be difficult to get along with. Now she was a little surprised to meet him.
Jian Zhen smiled and said, "We have met many times before."
Yan Ji reacted, covered her lips and said: "You, are you the little grass under the windowsill?"
Jane nodded obediently and said, "Yes, it's me."
Over the past hundred years, as one of the Dharma protectors, Yan Ji often appeared in the Demon Palace. Unlike other Dharma protectors, as a woman, Yan Ji was always unable to resist cute things. Therefore, every time she came back and saw Jian Zhen, she could not walk and always wanted to stay and talk.
Now I am even more excited.
Yan Ji said: "You, you have grown so big?"
Jane really felt weird, as if she was so young, but she nodded obediently and said, "Yes, I've transformed."
Yan Ji really liked the fair and cute young man in front of her. She had some objections to being assigned to protect the Lord and not being able to go out to celebrate, but now she certainly had no objections at all!!
"Today is a celebration, and the Demon Lord is going to meet with the leaders of various tribes outside." Yan Ji took the initiative to say, "But the Lord has ordered that you can move around here, and I will accompany you."
Jian Zhen said, "There are too many people in front so I won't go."
The grass still likes quiet places.
And if his identity were to be revealed now, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Yan Ji smiled and said, "In the auditorium in front, the Three Realms have sent many gifts to Your Excellency. If Your Excellency is interested, you can go and take a look to kill some time."
Jian Zhen was really interested: "Okay!"
After walking through the corridor, we came to a room where gifts were stored.
What you can see are many precious jewels and jades, or weapons that look very rare and precious, as well as medicinal herbs and elixirs. These things are naturally very expensive, but they are all cold, and there seems to be a sense of loneliness in the hustle and bustle.
There was such a moment.
Jian Zhen suddenly felt that he seemed to have really understood Ye Jisheng's meaning. Everyone was celebrating for the Demon Lord, but only for him, no matter who was sitting in that position.
Inexplicable.
Jian Zhen suddenly felt a little bored. He stood outside the warehouse and did not go in. He said softly, "Forget it. I don't want to watch it."
Yan Ji asked curiously, "But it's not pleasing to the eye?"
Jian Zhen said, "How could that be? These things are so valuable and rare."
Yan Ji didn't think he was very happy.
The midday sun shines on people's shoulders, bringing warmth. The person standing at the door suddenly raises his head and looks at the sun in the sky for a long time, as if thinking about something seriously.
Just when Yan Ji thought he was going to go home.
Jane really said, "The kitchen is over there."
Yan Ji asked doubtfully, "Are you hungry?"
Jian Zhen shook her head and said, "I drank some Jade Dew water when I just came out."
Yan Ji was puzzled: "Then you..."
"I'm free anyway, and he's not here." Jian Zhen smiled a little, and said, "I'll go make something to eat."
Yan Ji thought he was suddenly excited, so she said, "I'll make the arrangements, you come with me."
Jian Zhen was a little uncomfortable and said, "Don't call me yours. You didn't call me like that when I was a little grass before."
It’s okay for others, but it’s not convenient for him to correct them one by one.
But Yan Ji had been with him for a long time, and he always felt awkward.
Yan Ji paused, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Then what should I call you, Zhuzhu?"
Jian Zhen: “…”
We can still be good friends without mentioning this name!!
The two finally came to the kitchen.
I don’t know how Yan Ji did it. There are all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen, and there is no one else around. Jian Zhen can really do whatever she wants here and make anything.
Jane said sincerely: "Thank you."
Yan Ji said: "What do you want to do? I can help you."
Jian Zhen rolled up her sleeves, then gave Yan Ji a mysterious smile and said, "Cake."
Yan Ji: “?”
What is that.
Jian Zhen basically spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen. Since it was his first time and he had no experience, he used up a lot of eggs in the kitchen. Poor beautiful Yan Ji was busy stirring the egg liquid beside him, and her whole body was overshadowed by a shadow.
It was finally usable when I got to the end.
Yan Ji breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped aside and never took action again.
Jian Zhen steamed the egg liquid in the pot while lighting a fire, but various accidents often occurred due to poor control of the heat. So when Ye Jisheng came over at sunset, he saw a kitchen that seemed to have been swept by a strong wind and burned by fire.
certainly.
There was also one standing in the house, his whole body covered with a layer of flour and his face was covered with carbon ash, like Jian Zhen who had just escaped.
besides.
In Jian Zhen's hand, she was holding an unknown object that smelled of burnt things, and there was an unlit candle stuck on it. Everything about it was beyond the Demon God's understanding over the past tens of millions of years.
The air was silent for a moment.
Seeing him coming in, Jane Zhen's confused little face curved her eyebrows and said, "You're here."
Ye Jisheng's eyes swept over all of this, and he finally said, "Did you kill the chef and hide him?"
Jian Zhen: “…No!”
Yan Ji, who was standing outside and didn't dare to come in, couldn't bear to watch and wished she could run as far as she could.
Jian Zhen held the thing she had just made in her hand and said in a courteous manner, "This is the cake I made for you to celebrate your happy birthday. In our hometown, everyone has to eat cake on their birthdays, light the candles, and make a wish, and it will come true."
Ye Jisheng's eyes fell on the fuzzy unknown creature and he said calmly, "Do all the people of your demon tribe have this taste?"
Jian Zhen: “…It was just an accident!”
Ye Jisheng looked not far away, where there were quite a few failed products, which sold even worse than the one in Jian Zhen's hand. It was obvious that the so-called accident was not an accident, but a stable performance.
Jane Zhen's face rarely turned red. Little grass also has dignity!
Before he could speak.
Ye Jisheng raised his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Jian Zhen's eyes lit up: "You want to eat?"
"Hmm." Ye Jisheng picked up the cake and said, "I want to see how poisonous this cake of yours is. The people of the Three Realms have tried their best over the years but have not been able to harm me in the slightest.
Jian Zhen: “…”
Sometimes it really wants to kill people!
Seeing that Ye Jisheng was about to taste it, Jian Zhen hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, don't eat it yet. We haven't lit the candles and made a wish yet."
He quickly found a fire starter nearby and lit the candle.
The black cake with red candles can be said to be a beautiful landscape.
Jian Zhen's eyes sparkled. He looked at it with satisfaction, then said to Ye Jisheng, "Okay, okay, now you can make a wish!"
Ye Jisheng raised his eyebrows. This word was very new to him. The demon hooked his lips and said slowly: "Make a wish?"
"Yes, yes!" Jian Zhen suddenly became curious. He looked at him and asked, "Everyone has wishes. What is your wish?"
Thanks for your support!!
