He smiled and said, "Little River God is right. You can be a good mother.
Are you really willing to marry me? To be Little River God's mother? "
Jiujiu nodded, "I'm willing."
Jiujiu's answer was too quick and straightforward, which made Xiaoyao a little confused.
Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu, "Little River God and I are not ordinary people."
"I know that you've lived for more than 300 years, but I'm an ordinary person and can only accompany you for a few decades."
"If you're willing, I can let you be like us …"
"I'm not willing." Jiujiu smiled. "I know that birth, old age, sickness, and death are very painful. But sometimes, immortality is even more painful than birth, old age, sickness, and death. Because immortality means having to watch the people you care about die in front of you. This kind of pain is even harder to accept than death."
Xiaoyao wanted to persuade Jiujiu, but when he thought of how he felt when he knew that Little River God was gone, he couldn't say anything.
Jiujiu was a very sensible girl. Since she had said so, the only thing he could do now was to respect her choice.
However, Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu, "If you want to marry me, then you have to stay here."
"Can't I go back?"
"You can, but when you go back, it'll be different from before." Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu's eyes. There were complicated thoughts in his eyes that Jiujiu couldn't understand, "You'll understand in the future. Even so, do you still want to marry me?"
"My mother is still outside. I have to go back."
Jiujiu sighed softly, "Xiaoyao, I'm willing to marry you, but are you willing to wait for me?
After I take care of my mother and tell her everything, I'll come back here. Are you willing to wait for me? "
Jiujiu's words brought Xiaoyao's complicated thoughts back.
Xiaoyao's face, which had already calmed down, suddenly became cold and hard, "What if you leave and never come back?"
"You don't believe me?"
"I've been tricked before." Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu. "A hundred years ago, I was deceived by someone. She told me that she would come back after she finished everything outside. But in the end, she never came back."
"Is she Chen Xiaoyao?"
Jiujiu's answer surprised Xiaoyao. "Why do you think it's her?"
"Her shadow is very strange.
She clearly looks young and beautiful, but her shadow is that of an old woman. If you're talking about a hundred years ago, then it's naturally her. "
Then, he quickly lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes. "Do you know what I relied on to live for so many years?"
"Hate?"
"Yes, I hate them." The corners of Xiaoyao's mouth twitched as a sinister expression appeared on his fairy-like face. "I risked my life to save them. Not only are they ungrateful, they even want to use Little River and Little God as sacrifices. They're only three years old. How could they do that?"
Thinking of this, Xiaoyao recalled his weak and powerless self, who couldn't even keep his child.
If he could go back in time, he would definitely kill his weak self with his own hands, and then kill everyone in the Li Family Village.
Once, the people of the Li Family Village used his child's life in exchange for the safety of the Li Family Village. Now, for the safety of his child, he would sacrifice everyone in the Li Family Village.
"I understand you." Jiujiu gently patted Xiaoyao's back. "If it were me, I would do the same. You didn't do anything wrong."
After so many years, there were all kinds of people who scolded Xiaoyao. Those who called him a monster could be found everywhere. And Jiujiu was the first person to say to Xiaoyao that he didn't do anything wrong.
"You're really a smart little girl. I didn't protect you in vain." Xiaoyao took out a hairpin from his bosom and put it on Jiujiu's head. "Even if you're sleeping, don't take it off. It can protect you until tomorrow."
"What will happen tomorrow?"
"It'll be terrible." Xiaoyao stood up and turned his back to Jiujiu. "You can go to the sacrificial ceremony with the others tomorrow. But when it's over, go back to the inn immediately and don't come out. Do you understand?"
"You still don't want to believe that I'm willing to marry you, right?"
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not." Xiaoyao turned around and looked at Jiujiu. "What matters is what you think in your heart. If you're willing to marry me, no matter what others say, you'll be willing. If you're not, no matter how much I say, you'll still be unwilling. Do you understand?"
"Is that person your good friend?"
"No."
"Then what does Chen Xiaoyao want?"
Chen Xiaoyao was strange to her at the beginning, and then her behavior in the tavern was even more strange. Jiujiu felt that Chen Xiaoyao seemed to want something from her.
"She wants you." Xiaoyao suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of shark-like sharp teeth. Under the moonlight, they shone with a cold white light. "She wants your body. She wants to get your body. After all, her current body has reached its limit. "
"My body?"
Jiujiu suddenly woke up. "Is it possession?"
"No, it's not possession. She wants to possess your body and your soul." Xiaoyao reached out to Jiujiu's trouser pocket and took out the three lollipops that Chen Xiaoyao gave to Jiujiu. He asked Jiujiu, "Why didn't you eat these candies?"
"When I was young, my family was poor and I didn't eat candies. For a period of time, my mother ran a candy business outside. I ate them every day, but my teeth were eaten up by worms. From then on, I didn't eat candies."
Jiujiu's explanation was reasonable.
Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu meaningfully and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you didn't eat them. These candies are not for living people."
"If they're not for living people, who are they for?"
"It's for Leather." Xiaoyao's fingers gently touched Jiujiu's cheek. "An 18-year-old's skin is soft and delicate like satin, full of vitality. Chen Xiaoyao likes this kind of skin."
After Xiaoyao finished speaking, she casually opened the wrapper of a lollipop and crushed it. Then, Jiujiu saw a little bug in the candy powder.
The little bug wanted to escape the moment it was discovered, but it was caught by Xiao Yao's sharp eyes and quick hands.
Xiaoyao placed the worm in front of Jiujiu and said softly, "The Soul Devouring Parasitic Worm will eat your soul in a day, turning you into a soulless husk."
"Why did she do this to me?"
"The weak are prey to the strong. There's no reason."
After Xiaoyao said this, he crushed the other two worms and walked towards the inn. "I'll send you back."
"Chen Xiaoyao asked me to go with her tomorrow. She said she would send me away from Li's Village."
"If you want to die, go with her."
"What about you? You asked me to marry you, but I don't know what to do. "
