Jiuniang raised her hand and touched Jiujiu's cheek. She said softly, "You're my only child. I don't ask you to be outstanding. I just want you to be safe, free, and healthy. 1357924? 6810gggggd”
The corners of Jiuniang's mouth curled into a faint smile. Fine wrinkles appeared on both sides of her face, making her look much older. But at the same time, there was also a hint of tranquility and beauty that had settled over the years.
"Mother knows that your demon powers are strong and you will definitely live longer than me. I also know that His Highness, the Living Soil, treats you differently. But Jiu 'er, you must remember that you are a demon and he is an immortal. You are the one who will rule the Immortal World in the future. It is impossible between the two of you."
Jiuniang was the Immortal Mother's Immortal Jade. Naturally, she knew about Jiujiu and the Living Soil like the back of her hand. But because she knew everything, she knew that it would be a disaster whether the Living Soil fell in love with Jiujiu or Jiujiu fell in love with the Living Soil.
Although the Immortal Mother had a good reputation, she would not sit by and do nothing if the Living Soil was involved. Moreover, Jiujiu's status was too low. No matter how much the Living Soil liked her, the Immortal Mother would not agree.
Even if she agreed, she would only be a concubine.
What was the difference between a concubine and a servant?
Rather than letting Jiujiu be sad in the end, she would rather cut off her thoughts from the start and tell her that it was impossible between her and the Living Soil.
Jiujiu did not expect Jiuniang to see through this matter. She was stunned for a moment before she nodded.
Jiuniang lowered her head and looked at Jiujiu. After confirming that Jiujiu really knew and was not just brushing her off, she heaved a sigh of relief.
A warm hand gently brushed across Jiujiu's face. The corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile as she whispered, "Jiu 'er, if there comes a day when Mother is no longer here, you must live well. Do you understand?"
Although Jiujiu had not been by Jiuniang's side since she was young, Jiujiu knew how well Jiuniang treated her.
When he first arrived at the Living Soil, Jiuniang would visit him whenever she was free. Every time, she would bring him some toys to play with. When he grew up, she would give him some small clothes that she made herself.
Even though they hadn't spent much time together, Jiuniang treated her with sincerity.
The most precious thing in the world is a heart that truly cares for you.
Jiujiu had no motherly feelings towards Jiu Niang, but she respected her because she was a qualified mother.
Jiujiu's heart could not help but ache at the thought that such a good person like Jiu Niang was no longer around.
Holding Jiuniang's warm and soft hand, Jiujiu gently pressed her cheek against Jiuniang's palm. She rubbed her cheek against it and said softly, "Mother, you won't die. You still have to see Jiu 'er get married."
Jiu Niang laughed softly. Her expression was calm as if she was looking at an unreasonable child. She said calmly, "Jiu 'er, no matter if you are a human or a god, you are destined to die. Mortals only have a short life span of a few decades, but Mother has lived for a hundred thousand years. I have lived enough. Jiu' er, promise Mother that no matter what kind of man you meet in the future, don't fall for His Highness, the Living Soil."
Jiu Niang's gentle gaze was firm as she looked at Jiujiu. Jiujiu had a feeling that if she did not promise Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang would not let her go.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and nodded. She said, "Mother, I promise you that no matter what kind of man I meet in the future, I will not fall for the Living Soil. Only your body."
Jiu Niang shook her head. "I know my own body. It's getting late, you should go back."
Jiu Niang finished speaking and walked into the house.
Jiujiu looked at Jiu Niang's back until she could no longer see her. Only then did she look away.
When she returned to the Living Soil Palace, the Living Soil had not returned yet. Jiujiu went to retrieve some pills from the Living Soil and asked someone to give them to Jiu Niang. Only then did she rest her chin on her hand and quietly wait for the Living Soil to return.
If she was not mistaken, the Immortal Mother had asked for the Living Soil this time because of the training.
As expected, when the Living Soil returned, Jiujiu heard that he was going to descend to the mortal world to train. Naturally, Jiujiu would go with him.
Jiujiu silently bid farewell to Mo Li and followed the Living Soil on his journey.
When the two of them arrived in the mortal world, it was already dusk. The Living Soil brought Jiujiu to an inn. The two of them asked for two rooms and ordered some food to eat in the main hall.
However, not long after they entered, the waiter hurriedly closed the door while the light was still shining outside.
Sensing the waiter's strange expression, Jiujiu couldn't help but look at the waiter again. As she ate, she asked, "Waiter Brother, why did you close so early? Are you not doing business today?"
Hearing Jiujiu's question, the waiter picked up a rag and said as he cleaned up, "One look and I know you're here."
Jiujiu asked, "Why do you say that?"
The waiter sighed and said hesitantly, "Miss, you don't know. We weren't like this in the past, but after a strange incident, we became like this."
"Strange incident?" Jiujiu blinked and tilted her head to look at the waiter. After thinking for a bit, she took out a piece of silver and threw it to the waiter, saying, "Tell me about it."
The waiter didn't care about Jiujiu's ability and was just gossiping because he was bored. He didn't think that he would actually get a piece of silver. The waiter subconsciously put the silver to his mouth and bit it. After confirming that it was real, he hurriedly hid the bite mark on his chest. Then, he moved closer to Jiujiu's ear and whispered, "Miss, you don't know. We're haunted here."
"Haunted?" The Living Soil frowned and said in a clear voice, "The world is clear, how can there be ghosts? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart?"
The waiter didn't think that the Living Soil wouldn't be afraid of ghosts. Instead, he trembled and shook his head in denial, "How can that be? I didn't do anything wrong. How can I be afraid of ghosts? It's just that this ghost is a bit mysterious."
As the waiter said this, his face revealed a terrified expression. It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Jiujiu swayed her small feet and held her chin with interest. She looked at the waiter and asked, "A ghost is a ghost. What's different about it? Could it be that he's more beautiful?"
"Hei, you don't say. That ghost really did look like a fairy." The waiter rubbed his chin as he thought back and revealed a drooling smile. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "If it wasn't a ghost, who knows how many young masters would be seduced."
"So, you're afraid of that beautiful female ghost?"
"That's not it." The waiter sighed and turned his head to look around. Seeing that there was no one in the inn, he simply walked over to Jiujiu's side and said, spittle flying, "Miss, you don't know. Our town is called Lotus Town. One year's harvest all depends on the lotus roots in the lotus pond. Almost everyone in our town knows how to swim. Among them, Li San is an expert at swimming. He can dive for a quarter of an hour without breathing."
