Chapter 41: The 41st Mom
Xiao Xia Youjie's eyes gradually widened. He repeated the word again and said, "Big conspiracy... Is there really a big conspiracy behind this? Because... I am a curse spirit operator? If you think about it carefully, Wu, my ability... should be extremely rare among curse masters, and also extremely dangerous, right?"
Xiao Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets, snorted and said, "It's not bad, but it's still far behind my six eyes and unlimited technique! But if I'm right, there should be no limit to the number of cursed spirits you can subdue, right?"
"Yeah." Xiao Xia Youjie nodded gently, "There is indeed no upper limit, but the cursed spirits I have subdued are still few and weak."
Xiao Gojo Satoru shrugged and said, "But the future will be different... If you tame a lot of special-grade cursed spirits in the future, it would be a bit troublesome just thinking about it."
“Haha… where did all these special-grade cursed spirits come from? It seems that what Wu described is as common as special-grade and fly heads,” Xiao Xia Youjie smiled helplessly and shook his head, but his smile was not so relaxed. He lowered his eyes slightly and said softly, “Since even Wu finds it troublesome, then…”
"Then the others will find it even more troublesome, super troublesome," Xiao Gojo Satoru said, "Even if you want to be their companion and protect the weak, they won't think so."
After Gojo Satoru finished speaking, he stared at the blue sky for a while. There were only a few sparse white clouds in the sky, as if white paint with too much water was smeared randomly on the blue canvas. It looked clear and bright, and he could see everything at a glance. His six eyes allowed him to see everything clearly, but he couldn't understand what was going on in the brains of those guys in the world of sorcery.
Some of the assassination attempts he encountered came from “his own people”.
Xiao Gojo Satoru couldn't figure it out, and he felt very unhappy about it. He sighed softly, as if he was talking to himself, or to Xiao Xia Youjie: "The human heart is the most complicated thing, so those cursed spirits are born from the negative emotions of human beings. Fortunately, the sorcerers can control their own cursed power, otherwise many powerful cursed spirits would be born from the dark thoughts of those old guys."
"Well... Although I have powers that ordinary people don't have, I've always known that being a sorcerer isn't necessarily a good thing... I know that sorcerers are actually very dangerous, because my father died because of it, but... but what if my father didn't die in the battle with the cursed spirits..." Xiao Xia Youjie lowered his head, his tone heavy, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, "Then what should I do? For example..."
He couldn't say the rest of the words, perhaps because Xiao Xia Youjie didn't know what to say. It was not easy for a five-year-old child to think of so many things. These things were still too complicated for them.
In fact, Xiao Xia Youjie doesn't have much feelings for his father. After all, he died before he was born. But his current resentment is more for his mother. His mother has been sad and depressed for a long time because of this, and she even numb her emotions with heavy work.
"Jie, don't think too much," Xiao Gojo Satoru said, "This is just my guess."
Xiao Xia Youjie said: "But I feel that Wu's guess is likely to be true."
Xiao Gojo Satoru spread his hands: "At least you shouldn't think too much now."
"Because the power I have now...isn't it enough?" Xiao Xia Youjie murmured. He was indeed not strong enough now and did not have enough power to expose the conspiracy behind this. "Yes, it is not enough now."
He seemed to have seen something vaguely, but there was always a thick fog between them and he couldn't see clearly. When he tried to clear away the fog, it was like creating ripples on the water, which soon returned to calm.
This makes sense.
He previously thought that his mother changed back to her original surname because she didn’t want to touch upon the sad past and tried hard to forget it all, and that she kept letting him keep the surname “Sugar Oil” because she didn’t want to let go completely and didn’t want to erase all traces of his father…
Xiao Xia Youjie has always been careful and tries not to mention his father in front of his mother so as not to make her sad.
Although his mother acted as if she didn't care at all, Xiao Xia Youjie understood that it was because his mother wanted to appear strong in front of him in order to give him spiritual strength.
"But it's just 'now', isn't it, Jie?" Xiao Gojo Satoru grinned, "Don't forget, you and I agreed to be the strongest in the future, don't let me leave you too far behind!"
“Of course!” Xiao Xia Youjie regained his spirits and smiled again, “We are going to be the strongest together, don’t think about leaving me behind, Wu.”
Xiao Gojo Satoru laughed loudly, pointed at himself with a thumbs up and said, "That's not necessarily true, I'm the Son of God!"
Xiao Xia Youjie imitated Xiao Gojo Satoru, pointed at himself with a thumbs up, and imitated his tone: "I am a once-in-a-lifetime cursed spirit operator! It is said that I am even rarer than the six eyes! In this case, Satoru, you should be careful not to be left too far behind in the future."
The corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth twitched. He said "it is said" with a disgusted expression, "Jie, you look so cocky. You might as well squint your eyes. It's better to squint your eyes and smile. You look better now. It really annoys me."
Xiao Xia Youjie also cooperated with the standard narrowed eyes and smiled: "So Wu also knows that his expression looks very 'cocky'?"
Kogojo Satoru:...?
"What's that word called... Oh, self-awareness. That's good. Wu has made some progress in this period of time."
"I am arrogant because I have the capital to do so!"
"Then I withdraw my words." Xiao Xia Youjie showed a sinister smile.
"That's more like it," Gojo Satoru nodded with satisfaction. He took a few steps and felt something was wrong. Seeing Xiaoxia Yujie's familiar squinting smile, he asked, "Which sentence are you withdrawing?"
"Guess?" Xiao Xia Youjie tilted his head.
But Gojo Satoru didn't want to guess at all. He clenched his fist and said, "Jie, let's have a fight. This time it won't end in a draw!"
Of course, Xiao Xia Youjie would not be scared. He could feel that he had made a lot of progress in the competition with Xiao Gojo Satoru, and he was eager to compete more.
So before exorcising the new cursed spirit, Fox Jie and Cat Wu had another fight. After all, they were just small fellows of the fly-sized size, so it would not matter if they let them go.
However, this little thing was a little beyond their expectations.
Xiao Xia Youjie and Xiao Gojo Satoru silently watched the cursed spirit jumping out of the alley.
It is green in color, and has a meaty texture, greasy and uncomfortable to look at. It is made up of several small balls, which are linked together by small branches.
This cursed spirit moves very slowly, mainly relying on hopping to walk, and the direction of the little ball's hopping is not uniform, and the speed of movement is very slow. Sometimes, after jumping for a long time with great effort, it jumps back to the original place.
Looks silly, but not cute.
This cursed spirit was still able to make sounds, which were very small and almost inaudible, but it kept muttering a word.
After listening to it many times, Xiao Xia Youjie and Xiao Gojo Satoru finally understood what it was saying.
[Sour... so sour... sour...]
Xiao Xia Youjie and Xiao Gojo Satoru felt their cheeks a little sore when listening to its muttering, especially Xiao Gojo Satoru who felt it more deeply. He had eaten the most sour grapes and even got goose bumps.
"Are the grapes your grandpa...planted about to ripen?" said Gojo Satoru. Even though he is the Son of God, his voice trembled slightly when he mentioned grapes.
"It seems so..." Xiao Xia Youjie took a step back, subconsciously trying to stay away from this cursed spirit. "I remember that these days, grandpa tried hard to invite the villagers to play mahjong and eat grapes."
"Hiss..." Little Gojo Satoru took a breath of cold air.
The two strongest men in the future were actually frightened by a tiny cursed spirit. What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this?
"Huh? You're inviting people to play mahjong? It seems your grandpa wanted to teach me how to play mahjong, but I'm not interested. It's not as fun as watching cartoons... Jie, didn't you learn a little bit before and wanted to play with your grandpa? He doesn't seem to be popular. No one wants to play with him... Why did you give up halfway?"
"… Mainly because I learned that the loser in a mahjong game has to eat a grape."
Xiao Gojo Satoru widened his eyes, thinking that Baichuan's father, who tricked him into learning to play mahjong, was really abominable. Sir, it was so despicable! Xiao Xia Youjie's mother and his grandfather were the same, only his grandmother was better.
Xiao Gojo Satoru was a man who held grudges. He said, "Can I destroy all of your grandpa's mahjong... No, I mean hide them all?"
"Then there was no one to play mahjong with grandpa..."
"So what!?"
Xiao Xia Youjie said faintly: "In that case, you won't help us share the sour grapes...Oh, I have a curse spirit, and you don't."
Gojo Satoru felt like he was shown off, but he was not to be outdone: "I have retainers who can help me eat!"
Xiao Xia Youjie said: "But most people wouldn't like the taste...but my cursed cats and dogs like it very much."
"Humph," Xiao Gojo Satoru grinned, "They have to like what I give them!"
Xiao Xia Youjie shook his head helplessly and said: "Satoru's personality is like this..."
"What's wrong?" Gojo Satoru frowned, and a blue-black cursed flame ignited in his hand. "Is there anything wrong with my personality?"
"Very good." Xiao Xia Youjie smiled gently at the fierce-looking Xiao Gojo Satoru, "Really, I didn't lie to you, otherwise you wouldn't be my best friend."
Xiao Gojo Satoru was finally satisfied, and the blue-black flame on his hand went out. Facing such a small character, there was no need to be so serious. Just inject a little bit of magic power to destroy it. However, the appearance of this grape curse spirit...
Xiao Gojo Satoru caught the grape curse spirit. The grape curse spirit had no room for resistance in his hand and could only shake its branches and leaves pitifully. He did not exorcise it immediately, but asked Xiao Xia Youjie: "Do you want to tame it? It looks a bit like your eye curse spirit, like several eyes connected together? The eye curse spirit is super doubled? Does this count as one?"
Kogojo Satoru still remembered that he had to help Koxia Yujie catch the eye-cursed spirit, and now he happened to meet one that was similar, so before the exorcism, he asked for his opinion.
Although he hadn't encountered a cursed spirit for several days, he was indeed itching to do it. Although sparring with Xiao Xia Youjie was quite interesting, he also wanted to exorcise the cursed spirit for fun.
It's just a small fly head. If Jie needs it, Gojo Satoru can be left to him for training or something. He can use it anytime.
"It's still far from the Eye Curse Spirit," Xiao Xia Youjie said, "I feel like it doesn't have any effect. When Wu held it in his hand, it didn't react for a long time..."
Before Xiao Xia Youjie finished speaking, the grape curse spirits reacted. Small cracks appeared on their bodies, and then transparent juice spurted out. It smelled fruity, like grape juice, but there was only a hint of fruity fragrance, and more of a rotten and spoiled stench, and a strong sour smell that made people's teeth ache.
Xiao Gojo Satoru was holding a grape curse spirit when he was sprayed in the face. If he hadn't been wearing sunglasses, it would have gotten into his eyes.
The grape curse spirit fell from Kogojo Satoru's hands. It jumped around and tried to escape, but Kogojo Satoru did not take care of it at the first time.
Xiao Xia Youjie didn't have any either. He silently looked at the angry cat Wu beside him.
Mao Mao Wu was frightened, Mao Mao Wu's eyes widened, and Mao Mao Wu smelled himself.
There was a terrible sour smell, and Gojo Satoru felt his cheeks aching again. He didn't know if it was because this cursed spirit looked like a grape and was born from the negative emotions towards grapes, which caused it to have a rotten smell, but also a feeling of fermented wine.
Mao Mao Wu hates alcohol and sour grapes!
"I'm going to kill it--!" Kogojo Satoru rolled up his sleeves viciously, and his entire arm was covered by blue-black cursed flames.
"Calm down, it's just a small fly head, we won't bother with it, and that's called purification," Xiao Xia Yujie held Xiao Gojo Satoru and stuffed him with another bag of Oreo cookies to prevent Xiao Gojo Satoru's anger from burning him, "Eat some sweets and calm down."
Although he was angry, he still had to eat snacks. After wiping his face with his sleeve, Gojo Satoru tore open the bag of Oreo cookies and ate three or four of them in one gulp. While eating, he said, "Jie, don't touch it. Leave it to me to purify myself!"
Xiao Xia Youjie looked at the grape curse spirit without saying a word.
Xiao Gojo Satoru asked doubtfully, "Jie?"
Xiao Xia Youjie came back to his senses: "Huh? What's wrong?"
"You want to exorcise it?" Xiao Gojo Satoru frowned and ate Oreo cookies in big mouthfuls. "No! Leave it to me. I have never suffered such a loss before! A mere fly head, actually..."
Gojo Satoru stopped talking in the middle of his speech and stopped eating the biscuits because he saw that Xiao Xia Yujie was smiling.
This black-bellied fox is making fun of him!
"Hey, Jay, stop laughing! Since you're my best friend, you can't tell anyone about this," Gojo Satoru said viciously, giving him an Oreo cookie, "Here, in exchange, I'll give you a cookie."
Xiao Xia Youjie held the biscuits helplessly. Was this snack the one he just gave to Xiao Gojo Satoru?
"Tsk," Gojo Satoru said softly, "Then I'll let you purify this fly head. There's no need to tell anyone else about this!"
"I won't tell anyone, Wu," Xiao Xia Youjie said with a smile, "I'm just wondering about one thing, Wu, don't you have a technique with no lower limit? Why did you still get attacked? You haven't used the technique much during this period, have you? Our sparring is mainly about physical skills."
Xiao Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes. "I can't keep driving without limits all the time. It's so tiring. Besides... it was just too close. I clearly saw what it was going to do, but... I was a little slow in driving without limits... I won't do that next time! I was just careless."
"To become the strongest, we still need to work harder. We have a long way to go," Xiao Xia Youjie said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to pinch the grape curse spirit into a curse spirit jade, "Since you are not going to exorcise it, leave it to me to tame it."
Xiao Gojo Satoru frowned: "Why? Jie, don't you think it's useless? Even the attack just now only smelled a little sour, there is no..."
Gojo Satoru's voice became lower and lower because he noticed that Xiao Xia Youjie showed his sinister fox smile again.
"You guy, you definitely want to use it to tease me in the future, right?!" Xiao Gojo Satoru threw a punch with blue-black cursed power attached to his fist. He was heading for the Cursed Spirit Jade.
"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?" Xiao Xia Youjie protected the Curse Jade and dodged to the side, "I just want to accumulate strength, Wu."
"When you talk, can you please stop smiling and that foxy smile in your tone? And how much can you accumulate by eating flies? You weird bangs and buns!" Little Gojo Satoru was furious, "If this wasn't in the village, I couldn't move freely, and I couldn't use [Cang], I would definitely make you pay!"
"Then let's go fight somewhere where there's no one?" Xiao Xia Youjie summoned the Ghost Fish Curse Spirit and sat on it, and immediately flew outside. Before flying away, he waved the Curse Spirit Jade in his hand at Xiao Gojo Satoru, "If you don't hurry up, I'll eat it!"
"Can you be faster than me!?" Xiao Gojo Satoru immediately chased after him using a technique with no lower limits.
A certain grape curse spirit: Shocked! The two strongest are fighting for me! ?
