Chapter 585: Mobius Strip
"Okay, I promise."
What Tiandao agreed to was an established fact, so it said it very naturally: "I will let Ruan Wei return to the world of cultivation."
"Next, I will ask you for my reward."
Chi Jin agreed readily: "No problem."
-
"Chi Jin..."
Ruan Wei looked at the young man in the water mirror somewhat helplessly.
Perhaps because he got what he wanted, he was actually smiling. Perhaps because he hadn't smiled for a long time, his facial muscles looked very stiff, and his smile was not as beautiful as Chi Jin's later smile.
But this is his most beautiful smile.
It’s what I wanted.
It’s what I wanted.
It’s more like… a smile that allows you to leave with peace of mind.
Ruan Wei sensed what Chi Jin was thinking from this smile, and her hand that was resting on the mirror slid down weakly.
Ruan Wei knew.
Chi Jin couldn't wait any longer. The pain and numbness that lingered around him had already completely eroded him. He lay in the mud and never got up again.
How long does it take for a person to be exposed to pure hostility before he breaks down?
Ruan Wei is beyond measure.
But the Demon Lord Chi Jin had been waiting for decades in such a world of cultivation that was full of malice towards him.
Chi Jin endured Tongzhou's calls for war and scolding day after day. He never took the initiative to provoke a war between the two tribes, and even avoided it because he didn't want to discredit Penglai.
The ten major sects are of the same blood, and Chi Jin has never even killed a disciple of the ten major sects with his own hands.
No matter how much or how angry he was, he would just teach people a lesson.
Chi Jin believed in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but Tongzhou had never killed him, so he never thought of killing them.
Chi Jin, ah Chi Jin.
Why did the Penglai Immortal Sect, whose creed is to save the world and the people, save you? Why did they raise a child who should have resented the world to follow such rules? Why are you suffering even more now?
A home I can’t return to, a person I can’t see.
Chi Jin obviously shouldn't have to bear all of this, but she had to bear it alone.
He is not a wooden man!
If it is not a combination of spirit and demon, it is a monster; if it is not half spirit and half demon, it is an alien race.
No matter what, Chi Jin is alone——
People have seven emotions and six desires, and they can feel sad, upset, painful, and sorrowful.
Chi Jin is not particularly easy to raise.
The teachers and elders of the Penglai Immortal Sect knew this best. Yet, they still pampered this child, who had suffered the most in his childhood, for several years until he became a replica of Ruan Wei. The effort and time involved in this process are too numerous to mention.
Looking at Chi Jin's smile and the blood-red devil pattern under his eyes, Ruan Wei was speechless.
She could only watch.
Ruan Wei couldn't stop this deal.
Because in the timeline of Demon Lord Chi Jin, the future Heavenly Dao was destined to come, he was destined to lose something, and Ruan Wei was destined to come back.
Even if Chi Jin didn't want to, Ruan Wei herself always wanted to come back.
Because he had thoughts in his heart, even if he had no memories, Ruan Wei still had boundaries engraved in his bones.
Although her family is happy, Ruan Wei cannot get close to her parents and even vaguely avoids their love. For this reason, she has undergone many professional tests to see if there is anything wrong with her.
The report showed that apart from a family-run heart disease, she was in good health, even a little too healthy.
heart disease.
In this life, Ruan Wei has never had a heart attack.
Because she had never had an attack, she only knew that she had a family history of heart disease, and Ruan Wei did not regard this as a matter of special attention.
However, during the school closure due to the epidemic, she suddenly felt unwell and remembered her family history of heart disease. She hurriedly wanted to ask for leave to see a doctor, but the counselor refused for the sake of epidemic prevention and control.
Who knows...
In fact, it is destined.
Everything in the world is like a beautiful dream, and it wants Ruan Wei to indulge in it.
But the price of this beautiful dream is too high.
Ruan Wei was unwilling to lose her memory of the Penglai Immortal Sect, and was unwilling to abandon Ruan Ruanzhi. She firmly remembered that she did not belong to this world, and she always wanted to go home.
So God let Ruan Wei see the 'ending'.
In other words, it is a melodramatic article that my cousin in this world wrote in the document to entertain herself.
This is where it all began.
It is also the final ending.
Like a Möbius strip, all the deductions and calculations began to run, all the parts were installed and oiled, and the gears that had been idle for a long time finally began to rotate, and this mustard seed world finally welcomed back its pride.

Chi Jin: "What do you want from me?"
He asked the question with some hesitation.
The gap between Tiandao's strength and his own was too great, and he didn't think there was anything about him that was worthy of Tiandao's covetousness.
Tiandao smiled and said, "Soul."
A point in the lavender light and shadow suddenly became slender, and Chi Jin showed resistance. Before he could speak, this point fell on Chi Jin's forehead, and an incomparably gentle mental power swept over Chi Jin's whole body.
"You are the only demonic spirit here. Compared to Ruan Wei, you are only slightly inferior."
To be honest.
In the chaotic war years, the combination of spirits and demons was not uncommon, but the children born from such a combination would mostly inherit the physical constitution of one parent. There had never been a balanced hybrid like Chi Jin, with a one-to-one ratio.
Spiritual energy and demonic energy are mortal enemies and cannot coexist peacefully.
Just like Ruan Wei's innate spiritual body cannot tolerate any erosion of demonic energy, she is absolutely unable to degenerate into a demon.
Chi Jin, however, can balance the spiritual energy and demonic energy in his body very well.
If he wanted, he could even practice both spiritual and demonic arts at the same time without interfering with each other.
Chi Jin was stunned: "Soul?"
Could it be that the soul born from such a body with dirty blood is a good thing?
"Yes."
Heaven says: "I don't want more, I only want half."
"You give me half of your soul, and I'll let Ruan Wei return from the present world. But time has passed, and she can't come to this place where she's already dead. I can send her to the future, back to when everything starts over."
The ethereal voice echoed in this space.
It says:
"You will meet again, and because of this, you have the opportunity to change everything."
Chi Jin frowned in thought.
moment.
He raised his eyes, looked straight at the sky and said, "Okay."
There's nothing to refuse.
He had said that as long as Ruan Wei could return home, he would give anything. It was just half of his soul. Although he didn't know what would happen if he lost half of his soul, Chi Jin was willing to do it.
No reason.
I just want to.
Tiandao nodded, but said nothing.
Because it knew that Chi Jin must have more requests next, otherwise how would he remember it in this life.
"but--"
really.
Chi Jin stared at it, her voice firm: "I want to keep the memory of this life."
This is the only way to prevent tragedy from happening again.
The second senior sister shouldn't have died for love, the eldest senior brother shouldn't have been turned into an evil cultivator, the third senior brother and the fourth senior sister shouldn't have fallen into the devil's way and been buried together in the wilderness, and he shouldn't have left Penglai.
Chi Jin wants to go back.
He would go back and keep a close eye on all those he cherished.
A harmless little request.
Tiandao: "Okay."
Ruan Wei's pupils shrank slightly.
That's right.
Half of his soul was exchanged for Ruan Wei's chance to return from the real world and for his preserved memories.
The Demon Lord Chi Jin in this life knew nothing. He could only put his hopes on himself, hoping that he could stop Ruan Wei from falling into the love that could drown people.
Stupid way.
This is such a stupid idea...
Ruan Wei suddenly covered her face.
At this point, she no longer knew how to describe her feelings.
She didn't know whether she should praise Chi Jin for knowing how to bargain and exchange less for more, she didn't know whether she should be grateful for Chi Jin's firmness from beginning to end, she didn't know whether she should... resent her own selfishness.
Too many emotions flooded my heart at this moment.
Ruan Wei felt helpless.
She could only lean against the mirror, reach for the boy's eyes and lips, and call out again and again: "Chi Jin..."
The blood flowing from the wrist dripped onto the mirror again.
The water rippled like a veil, and the mirror surface seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand, and was distorted again.
In the deep blue and red.
The young man is independent of the world.
"Tian Dao, I want to make another deal with you."
It's a very familiar voice.
Unlike the low, hoarse and dry voice just now, it was the voice of a young man who was used to drinking nectar.
The tears that had been suppressed in her eyes finally fell. The fine beads of water on Ruan Wei's cheeks no longer stopped falling, and they fell drop by drop onto the water mirror, stirring up layers of tiny ripples.
It’s Chi Jin.
It’s Chi Jin of this life!
Heaven thinks so.
The answers are always hard to find.
After looking at the past, it is natural to look at the present.
This makes the answer complete.
