Hearing what Ah Nu said, the young man named Xiang Yu immediately became anxious.
"You're not going? A'nu? Why aren't you going? Didn't you just agree?" Xiang Yu said quickly: "It's okay if I don't go. How can you not go? You are about to become a demon! Do you think your own How many more stabs can my body take?"
A'nu didn't say anything, just applied medicine to her wound in silence.
Xiang Yu was a little angry: "Then tell me, why did you suddenly decide not to go when you were doing a good job?"
Ah Nu said calmly: "No reason, I think it's pretty good now."
"You are crazy!" Xiang Yu felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Ah Nu's attitude: "You obviously don't want to be a demon cultivator. Which one of us is not forced? Now that we finally have such an opportunity, do you really want to Being demonized?”
The woman's voice became indifferent: "How do you know that I didn't volunteer to be this demon cultivator? Maybe, I am."
Xiang Yu was disdainful: "If you volunteer to be a demon cultivator, why would you rather stab yourself every day than drink other people's flesh and blood and swallow other people's souls? Are you doing this voluntarily?"
The group of demon cultivators is too small.
Originally, most of the demon cultivators kept a distance from each other.
Because the demon cultivator can also swallow the soul of the demon cultivator, and even make their strength grow faster.
Very few demon cultivators are willing to get too close to other demon cultivators because they are worried that one day they will be eaten by their own kind.
And it was very unexpected that he would meet Ah Nu.
He didn't want to become a cannibal, so he hid in this small town. When he couldn't bear it any longer, he would go find a few ruffians or gangsters to prey on him.
These people are not very strong. Although they are bad, their souls are not too dirty, so until now, he can still control his reason.
That is, every time he devours other people's soul, he will vomit for a long time.
It happened that that day, A'nu was hunted down and escaped all the way here.
He had already seen a lot of human beings chasing demon cultivators, but seeing her with inconvenient eyesight escaping all the way here, Xiang Yu somehow suddenly remembered the sadness of being driven out by his family.
Then he saved Ah Nu.
After saving her, he was ready to leave, but Ah Nu asked him a question.
"Is this far from Taiyi City? Is it far?"
Xiang Yu replied: "Very far."
Then she fell. When she fell, Xiang Yu heard her murmuring softly: "Just stay away..."
After falling down, her expression was relaxed and relieved.
It's like... she deliberately found a place far away from Taiyi City and wanted to die quietly without anyone noticing.
It reminded him of a little kitten he had once raised.
The little kitten was the most common breed, could not be cultivated, and had a lifespan of only more than twenty years. He had raised the little kitten for more than twenty years, until one day, it suddenly disappeared.
He searched for it for a long time before he found it, halfway up a mountainside outside the city, dying of old age quietly.
Then his great-grandfather told him that when this kind of cat knows that his end is coming, he will leave alone and die alone.
Probably...it just doesn't want the owner to feel sad for it.
Xiang Yu thought about his cat, and then rescued her.
Later, the two got acquainted, and Xiang Yu asked her jokingly: "You don't want your family to worry, so you want to die far away?"
Ah Nu was silent for a long time before answering him: "No, I'm just afraid that others will see me disgusted."
…
The memories are still vivid in his mind. Although Ah Nu has always been very indifferent, Xiang Yu knows that she actually hates her status as a demon cultivator.
If a person can't even maintain his own sanity and turns into a #man-eating monster, who will accept it
But he couldn't understand why, now that there was a way to change them, Ah Nu was unwilling to accept it
"Anu, I can't stay here forever. I used to be afraid that I would become a demon, become irrational, and hurt my own family. Even if they drive me away, I still don't want to hurt them, so I hide here. Here." Xiang Yu said: "Now that there is such a way, I can become like a normal person. I am really happy. We no longer need to hide or cover up. This is what I thought before. Even if you don’t feel anything about it, it’s the same for you, right?”
Ah Nu pursed her lips tightly.
In a direction that Xiang Yu couldn't see, she gathered her hands in her long sleeves and pulled them together tightly, her nails digging into her flesh. All these emotions were deeply buried by her. When I got up, thousands of words came to my lips, and there was only one cold word: "I don't want to go."
I don’t want to go, I can’t go, I don’t dare to go.
When Xiang Yu saw Ah Nu being so stubborn and stubborn, he was so angry with her that he almost became a demon himself.
He wanted to teach this disobedient woman a lesson, but seeing her sunken eye sockets and her face so pale that all the blood was gone, he finally endured it.
His mind was spinning rapidly, why didn’t Ah Nu want to go
Is it because she has family members in the underground palace? Or her enemy
If it's an enemy, he should take revenge, so maybe it's a family member
But didn’t this underground palace just appear during this time? How could I know anyone
Ah, by the way... the underground palace is not far from Taiyi City!
Thinking of Taiyi City, Xiang Yu suddenly felt that he had vaguely grasped the truth.
Is it because there are people in Taiyi City that she doesn't want to see, or people that she is afraid of seeing
Xiang Yu couldn't help but recall what he and Ah Nu had said before - no, I'm just afraid that others will see me disgusted.
What kind of despair and despair would lead to someone saying such a thing
To describe yourself in such a humble and disgusting way
Xiang Yu looked at Ah Nu thoughtfully, knowing that she had already made up her mind and would never change it, so he said, "But there's no way you can continue like this..."
"It doesn't matter." Ah Nu said calmly.
"No, we are connected by the same fate after all... Yes!" Xiang Yu's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "If you don't want to go, don't go. I'll go! I'll go alone. When I know how to control the demonization , I’ll come back to teach you, so you don’t have to show up, is that okay?”
After hearing that she didn't have to go to the underground palace by herself, Ah Nu finally showed a trace of hesitation on her face.
After all, he didn't want to turn into such a monster, otherwise why would he live an ignoble existence
After a while, she finally nodded: "Okay."
Xiang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's agreed, I'll go to the underground palace to get the method to control demonization as soon as possible, and then I'll come back and teach you! You just wait for me here, and you're not allowed to go anywhere, you know? ?”
"...Well, thank you."
After finishing Ah Nu, Xiang Yu secretly thought, it seems that he will go to Taiyi City to check when the time comes, and maybe he will know Ah Nu’s life experience!
