Bai Hong followed Jiujiu's example and pulled out a recliner from the house. He held Jiujiu's remaining half of the watermelon and lay down beside Jiujiu, basking in the sun while eating the watermelon.
Bai Hong, who had been fighting demons outside, felt that the time he spent with Jiujiu was the most comfortable period of his life.
Every day, he only needed to think about what to eat today. It was really a peaceful time.
Unfortunately.
This place was peaceful because someone was carrying a heavy burden.
The current peaceful time was just a facade. When the Demon King completely shattered the enchantment and came to the human world, this place would face a huge catastrophe.
And if he wanted to completely end this catastrophe, the only breakthrough was Jiujiu.
Looking at Jiujiu lying on the recliner, basking in the sun and eating watermelon, Bai Hong inexplicably felt a little guilty.
Although from a righteous point of view, Jiujiu's sacrifice would help all of mankind was a great thing, what did all this have to do with Jiujiu?
She was just an ordinary girl from a small mountain village. She lived every day so that she could live a better life. The life she wanted was just three simple meals a day.
She was the one who was implicated in this battle.
However, even if he knew that Jiujiu was innocently implicated, he had to make this choice for the future of all mankind.
Sacrificing Jiujiu alone, compared with sacrificing all of mankind, was a choice that was easy to make.
But just like Qing Lan, Bai Hong really couldn't bear to sacrifice Jiujiu.
Bai Hong looked at Jiujiu, who was enjoying eating watermelon and basking in the sun, and asked, "Why don't you go outside?"
Nowadays, people liked to live in big cities. Even if they ate in big cities, it seemed to be more comfortable than enjoying life at home.
Jiujiu looked sideways at Bai Hong. "My education is too low. I don't want to be a lowly waiter. And I think it's good for me to be here alone."
Of course, the most important thing was that she was here to be a sacrifice. She could stay in this world for at most a year.
It was already amazing that she could spend so much effort to transform this house into what it was now. She had to go to the big city and work like a cow or horse. What a joke.
Bai Hong said, "I really can't tell."
Whether it was the decoration of Jiujiu's house or her attitude towards life, Jiujiu seemed like a person who liked to be lively. But now, Jiu, who liked to be lively, told him that she liked to stay in this remote mountain village.... Bai Hong really felt that Jiujiu was a little out of place here.
"Where are your parents? Why is there only one person here?"
Bai Hong felt that since he couldn't move Jiujiu with her life, he could move Jiujiu with her parents. As long as he mentioned her parents to Jiujiu, she might give him a satisfactory answer.
Jiujiu glanced sideways at Bai Hong and said expressionlessly, "Both parents are dead. You have a house but no car. You have no intention of finding a partner. What else do you want to ask?"
The last sentence made Bai Hong's face turn red instantly.
He really didn't have any romantic feelings for Jiujiu. How could Jiujiu misunderstand him like this?
Bai Hong had lived for so many years, and this was the first time he was misunderstood as having feelings for her. His face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly explained to Jiujiu, "I didn't mean that."
Jiujiu pursed her lips. "If you didn't mean that, then why are you asking me these questions?"
Bai Hong said, "I just want to understand you. I want to see your life and social circle."
"If you don't have any feelings for me, then why do you want to see my life and social circle? In the end, aren't you still interested in me? " Jiujiu raised her hand and patted Bai Hong's shoulder. "I know that I'm good-looking, have a good figure, and can cook. I'm a first-class woman. However, I only have eyes for eating, drinking, and playing. I love life and food. I don't have the slightest interest in dating, which is a waste of time and feelings. So, you don't have to waste any more time on me.
If you have the time and experience, go find those inexperienced young ladies. I believe that with your looks, you'll definitely be able to trick a silly one. "
Bai Hong was speechless.
What the hell was going on?
Bai Hong felt that if he continued talking to Jiujiu, he might be angered to death by Jiujiu.
Bai Hong took a deep breath and decided to go straight to the point. "Actually, I wanted to ask you. Why were you unwilling to learn when Qing Lan taught you Dharma spells?"
Jiujiu said, "Because of this?"
Bai Hong nodded. "So many people dream of being immortal. Now that there's an opportunity for immortality in front of you, you rejected it directly. I really don't understand."
"Actually, I don't understand either."
"What don't you understand?"
"Do scammers nowadays form a team? If one doesn't work, they'll change to another. " Jiujiu sat up and drank her fruit juice as she said, "It's not that I want to criticize you and Qing Lan, but the two of you can do anything but become scammers. And of all the people you could scam, you just had to scam a village girl like me. Think about it yourself. Do I look like someone who's rich?"
Bai Hong was on the verge of breaking down. "We're really not scammers."
"If you're not scammers, then don't talk to me about those things." Jiujiu lay back on the recliner. "I still say the same thing to Qing Lan. I don't desire immortality at all. I don't want to be called an old fart in the future."
Bai Hong said, "Just because of that?"
Jiujiu pursed her lips. "What else do you think?
I'm the kind of person who'd rather be a fairy for a day than be called an old fart. So, don't talk to me about this in the future. I don't want to hear it. "
When Qing Lan said this to Bai Hong, Bai Hong only thought that Jiujiu was interesting. But when he really heard Jiujiu say this, Bai Hong inexplicably felt a little sad and sad.
Bai Hong sighed and asked, "What about the future? What plans do you have for the future? You're still young. You can't be cooped up in this small mountain village for the rest of your life."
Jiujiu munched on the cucumber and said, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? There will be a way when the time comes. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Bai Hong said, "You're so open-minded."
Jiujiu pursed her lips. "It's not that I'm open-minded. It's just that reality is like this. Who can predict what will happen in the future? The weather is so strange now. Who knows if you'll be able to live until tomorrow?"
Jiujiu said these words in a very cheerful tone, but to Bai Hong's ears, there was a hint of sadness.
Bai Hong tilted his head and looked at Jiujiu. For some reason, he felt that Jiujiu actually knew something.
Bai Hong opened his mouth. Just as he was about to say something to Jiujiu, the sun, which was still emitting warm sunlight, disappeared in an instant. It was replaced by a fierce cold wind and bone-piercing snowflakes.
