Wu Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Queen of Eight Desires would tell him her own strategic plan in front of him.
"Nyara, why...why are you telling me?"
Queen Bayu turned her head and faced Wu Jie with her back: "Since you know that I am a war-weary person, then I allow you to guess why I support war-weariness."
Wu Jie didn't expect that the Queen of Eight Desires would let him guess her intentions. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
So Wu Jie calmed down and carefully thought about the meaning of her words and the core of the problem.
After a while, Wu Jie replied: "It's because of your mother."
The Queen of Eight Desires shuddered, immediately turning around and looking at Wu Jie with an incredulous expression. Wu Jie couldn't possibly read her inner thoughts, and neither Ymir nor Circe could possibly know her past. In other words, this was Wu Jie's own answer. So how did he arrive at this? Was it a guess? Or did he discern something?
Feeling the gaze of the Eight Desires Queen, Wu Jie gently stroked her long hair and said with a faint smile: "Isn't it right?"
It took the Queen of Eight Desires a long time to come back to her senses. She said, "You're right. Could you tell me how you came up with that?"
It is estimated that Queen Eight Desires herself did not expect that because she was lost in memories, she unconsciously called out the word "mother" and attracted Wu Jie's attention. Combined with the observations and hints over the past few days, Wu Jie already had his own answer in his heart.
But the Queen of Eight Desires was unaware of this, and she subconsciously thought it must be just a coincidence.
This time it was Wu Jie's turn to keep the secret. He leaned back slightly and said, "Because of love."
The Queen of Eight Desires was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized: "Are you kidding me? Tell me the answer now."
Wu Jie chuckled and kissed the Eight Desires Queen on the lips. The Eight Desires Queen was caught off guard, but she did not just wait for Wu Jie to kiss her. She took the initiative and was passionate, and directly entangled with Wu Jie.
In this way, the two of them exchanged sharp words again, and it took a long time before they stopped.
"Wu Jie, tell me honestly, how did you know that?" Queen Bayu became more and more curious.
Wu Jie continued, "Really, there's no need for me to lie to you. It's because of love. My intuition tells me that the answer is your mother."
The Queen of Eight Desires remained silent, staring at Wu Jie intently, as if she saw through him. But Wu Jie didn't shy away, staring directly into the Queen's face and eyes. The two remained silent for a full minute.
After a long time, the Queen of Eight Desires gave up completely. She saw nothing but determination in Wu Jie's eyes.
"Could it be true what he said? Was it really because of love?" Queen Bayu's heart felt as sweet as honey as she thought of this. For some reason, the more she looked at this man, the more she liked him. Even though he was from Earth, so what? No one could stop her from pursuing her own feelings.
Gradually, the Queen of Eight Desires seemed to have figured something out. She sat up suddenly, as if she had made a great decision.
"Wu Jie, I will ask you one last question. What do you love about me?" It was another fatal question, which would be difficult for ordinary people to answer.
To be honest, Wu Jie didn't expect that the Queen of Eight Desires would ask this question again so suddenly, but he could feel that the Queen of Eight Desires seemed to have made up her mind, and it was obviously completely different from the previous question.
The tone of voice is different, the look in the eyes is different, and the movements are more subtle. The answer this time must not be the same as last time, it must be different.
But Wu Jie seemed completely unprepared. Within a second of the Queen of Eight Desires' words uttered, Wu Jie immediately responded, "I saved you for another purpose. If I say I love you, then I have a purpose. Actually, I don't know anything about Nyara. I don't know your life story, your role, or your abilities. If I say I love you, then I'm just being pretentious. But one thing is true. When you hugged Coolie Bo that day, it really touched my heart. I could feel the kindness in you, the undisguised kindness. And it was from that moment that I think I fell in love with you."
The Queen of the Eight Desires shook her head. "Kindness is something that many people possess. We Indians are not as cruel as you Earthlings imagine. Many Indians are kind, but because of the Iron Law of the Eight Desires, many have their kindness sealed away."
The Iron Law of Eight Desires? Wu Jie remembered that he had heard Ymir say that the Iron Law of Eight Desires refers to: greed, laziness, lust, appetite, knowledge, theft, selfishness, and plunder, which is very similar to the seven deadly sins of mankind.
But the difference from the seven deadly sins is that these eight desires are meant for the Lord in Black to possess, while as Indians, one must completely block out one's emotions and cannot have these desires, otherwise it would be a blasphemy against the Lord in Black.
Only sanctified ministers, truth speakers, royal family members, etc. are qualified to possess the eight desires. Ordinary Indians can only smile or show their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness in secret.
Although the Seven Deadly Sins advocate restraining desires, they do not completely oppose having these desires, because as long as a person has desires, how can he or she motivate himself or herself to do things without desires?
It could be said that the Eight Iron Laws of Desire were indeed eight extremely inhumane laws. However, because these eight laws had been enforced on Ins for thousands of years, the people there had long been numb and accustomed to the rule of the Lord in Black, so no one had ever dared to think of resisting.
How could anyone dare to rebel? And who could dare to rebel? In the past, Wu Jie had also wondered how such a powerful civilization could possibly have emerged from a planet dominated by religion. But after a closer look, he discovered that the Truth Speakers were not restricted in their desires, allowing them to pursue their research to their heart's content.
Indians also take pride in being truth tellers. After all, they can express their joy, anger, sorrow and happiness freely. This alone is enough to attract people.
Wu Jie thought for a while and said, "Then, Nyara, do you think the Iron Law of Eight Desires is reasonable?" Thinking that the Queen of Eight Desires had the word "Eight Desires" in her name, it was not difficult for Wu Jie to guess part of the origin and intention of this title, so he asked carefully, for fear of stepping on the Queen of Eight Desires' hidden dangers.
"If it were reasonable, I would not be a supporter of the war-weary faction."
"How do you say that?"
However, the Queen of Eight Desires didn't seem to mind the topic, and continued, "Actually, I was raised in a commoner family and was later chosen by the Lord in Black to become a royal. Since there haven't been commoner-born royals in nearly a hundred years, many hereditary royals are jealous of my talent and have been secretly plotting against me. It was from that time that I began to doubt the legitimacy of the Eight Desires."
