Chapter 8: The Sorrow of Light Madness

  When all the noise subsided, five mysterious people appeared again in the place where they had just fought, carefully checking the surrounding clues, and finally disappeared without a trace.

  Embracing the lightly insane Mo Jiu, Yu also didn't care if the little guy behind could keep up or not. The person in his arms was clearly a bit unusual, but he didn't know what to do about it. His heart was filled with regret, guilt, and self-blame, which were almost suffocating him.

  Teleporting to the nearest Xieye Empire, Mo Jiu You found a random inn in Ye Du and finally settled down.

  "Girl, how are you? Are you hurt somewhere?" Looking at the silent Qingkuang, Mo Jiu was worried and kissed her forehead again and again.

  "It's nothing..." After a long while, Qing Kuang finally found his own voice again.

  "Really nothing?" The worried man stroked the pale little face, not daring to relax at all.

  "It's really nothing, I just contracted a super divine beast earlier, I'm just a bit tired." A forced smile hung at the corner of his mouth as he tried to ignore the panic in his heart.

  "Tired? If you're tired, then rest early." Mo Jiu Yu removed her clothes and picked her up, putting her into the bathtub that had been prepared long ago.

  Leaning against the back of the bathtub, she closed her eyes and calmed her mind. Was that brutal person really her? Why did she have the idea of destroying everything at that time? Why was she so excited to see blood? Is this change good or bad? Will that unfamiliar self appear again?

  "Don't think about anything, just finish eating and take a good rest, I'll be by your side." Mo Jiu Yu gently helped her wipe away the tears, his firm words slightly comforting Xiao Kuang's agitated heart.

  Stretching out her arm, letting the water droplets slide down her smooth skin, she tightly hugged him, her face also pressed against his. Yet, in that tone, there was a hint of uncertainty that had never been heard before. "Mo Jiu You... If one day I'm no longer myself, what should we do..."

  He froze for a moment, then dropped the fabric in his hand and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, reassuringly saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you become someone else?"

  "What if, I mean what if? What if I'm no longer myself, what if I become very bad, would you ignore me, would you not want me, would Xi'er not recognize me?" Big black eyes looked at him urgently, wanting to get confirmation immediately.

  "No matter what, no matter what, silly~ No matter what you become, you are the woman Mo Jiu Yu recognizes, you are Ye Er's mother, how could I not want you?" The large hand gently stroked the back of the lightly crazy person, while the man's low and husky voice spoke a lifelong unchanging vow.

  "We agreed, we agreed, you can't abandon me, no matter what I become, you can't abandon me"

  "I promise, I promise...I will never let go of your hand......Alright, alright, don't be afraid, you're just too tired, sleep a little and it'll be fine, listen to me obediently~" He kissed those slightly trembling lips, Mo Jiao Yu looked at this person, once again making a vow to stay together. Yet who could have thought that these words would one day become a prophecy."

  "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, Mo Jiu You, do you want me? Do you want me now? I am your person, I am Ye Er's mother, I am Zhan Light Crazy, do you want me?" With anxious kisses, Light Crazy stood up and urgently wanted to prove something with action.

  I understand that Little Ya is now emotionally unstable, and even though she brought it up herself, Mo Jiu Yu couldn't help but carefully comfort her, "Okay, okay, you be good, listen to me, go take a bath first, then eat something, alright?"

  "No, no! You want me, you want me, I don't want to think about anything now, just want to have children with you, many children..." What should be sweet words were tinged with inexplicable panic, frantically tearing at Mo Jiao Yu's clothes, wanting to prove something, yet seeming to suppress something.

  "Girl, girl..." The man who had been holding her hand in front of his chest and worrying all along looked at her seriously.

  "I'm scared, I'm scared... but I don't know what I'm afraid of... Mo Jiu You, I don't know what to do..." The panicked voice was already accompanied by a sob. What if one day she became someone else? But what bothered her more was that the unease in her heart kept growing slowly, and her sixth sense had always been very accurate.

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here... As the mighty Demon King, you just need to stay by my side and I'll protect you..."

  "Mo Jiu You......" A sobbing sound came, tears fell directly, the man's heart ached.

  "Don't cry, my heart has long been left on a silly little human head. The happiest thing every day is to see her happy smile, domineering and making small temper. You know who I'm talking about, right? Now that I've finally let this pair of eyes have me, how could I let my line of sight leave again? I worry, fear, afraid you'll let go of my hand first. But since you've already handed yourself over to me, I won't let go no matter what. You're already booked for this lifetime! As soon as the words fell, a strong arm directly scooped the person out, now nothing else matters, comforting the little head's emotions is the most important."

  "Mojū yōu......" Rubbing against the man's neck, lightly and cleverly like a pitiful cat.

  "My little girl, you're really a silly kid~" As soon as he put her on the bed, the man turned over and directly took that soft and tender lip.

  Mo Jiu Yu gave her extremely gentle and doting treatment, feeling the obedient and even proactive little servant girl.

  After that, Qingkuang leaned tightly on the man's body and panted, her slender hands also grasped him tightly, "Mo Jiu You, now you are the only one I can trust by my side!"

  "Hmm, I know! Who else can you trust?" He could feel Xiao Yu's panic, but didn't know what it was about. If the pleasure from earlier could put Xiao Yu at ease, he wouldn't mind doing it a few more times.

  "So if one day I'm gone or disappeared, you also grab my hand and don't give up looking for me, okay?" He said seriously, ignoring the soreness on his body.

  "Didn't you realize what would happen to yourself?" The little girl's repeated questioning made him feel uneasy too.

  "I don't know, but I have too many concerns. I still want to ascend to the realm of immortals, I still want to find Ye Er... and also marry someone..."

  As soon as he heard this, the man immediately turned over and looked at Xiaoyu's shy face with eagerness, "You agreed? Agreed to marry me?"

  Looking at the man in front of her, Liang Xiao carefully looked at Mo Jiu You's eyebrows and eyes, was he so happy just because of her one sentence?

  "Girl, did you... agree?" he asked cautiously, although he knew his ears wouldn't mishear, but the problem was that he wasn't sure in his heart!

  "Uh-huh, I promise that once I enter the immortal realm, I'll marry you and return with you to the demon realm. You, me, and Xi'er - we'll be a family of three that will never be apart!" Once she has the qualifications to match him, happiness should not be far off, right? However, life is unpredictable, and what was supposed to be a beautiful promise was instead tainted with endless sorrow. Can the two people who are covered in scars still fulfill their wishes and ultimately come together?

  "Haha……" The man let out a satisfied low laugh, unable to conceal the joy in his heart. "It's great, my little girl has agreed to marry me! I've waited for so long, and finally, it's happened. It's great! My little girl is so obedient~" He planted a loud kiss on her, and Mo Jiu felt only delight in her heart.

  Mojie Yu... Mojie Yu... a sigh in her heart, she couldn't bear to interrupt his good mood, so she held him tighter, the one who pampered her, indulged her, and tolerated her. However, those eyes were gazing worriedly at some unknown corner, and what she didn't know was that at this moment, those eyes had turned pitch black and shone with an eerie light.

  "Hmm..." He let out a low grunt and left the person alone, letting him do as he pleased.

  The next day, as soon as Keiko woke up early in the morning, her stomach growled with hunger. She got out of bed tiredly and was wondering why she didn't see the man, when Majo brought in a hot breakfast.

  "Has the young lady woken up?" The originally tall and dignified man was holding a tray like a small servant, looking quite comical.

  "Hmm..." Just as she was about to get dressed, her hand was taken over by the man, and Qinglang also felt relieved.

  Looking at Xiang Xiang's soft and delicate little head, Mo Jiu Yu's heart couldn't be happier, let alone the fact that she had agreed to marry him!

  "Come on, I've prepared a lot of your favorite dishes, you must be starving!" The man happily "served" her breakfast while holding onto Qing Kuang's hand.

  Just in time for dinner, Taotie and Pixiu finally burst in, followed by a slow-moving Ben Lei.

  "Master~ Master~ Wow, there's food!" Originally supposed to be happily watching the elegant feast, but as soon as she saw the food, she immediately abandoned her and was about to stretch out her paws to steal some when she was frozen in place by Moque's intimidating gaze.

  The last one to enter the house, Ben Lei, saw Mo Jiu You and immediately became serious, his expression also becoming stern. Very powerful! Even he, a super divine beast, couldn't muster up any resistance. What kind of background did this person have?

  Upon seeing the Thunder Beast, Mo Jiu You's mood immediately cleared up from cloudy to sunny. However, this little super beast that had just advanced in the mortal realm was far inferior compared to those from the Heavenly Realm. Nevertheless, it had actually injured his family's maid, which was unforgivable. No matter what, he would find an even better one for her later on.

  Mo Jiu's killing intent was not hidden at all, Ben Lei had to be on high alert, and even the gluttonous ones sat obediently at the table, their mouths watering with hunger but not daring to make a move.

  "Whatever, I'm not busy now. Besides, this is the super divine beast that I spent a lot of effort to contract, don't you dare look down on me! Holding onto the man's hand, she forcefully suppressed his killing intent. After the person behind her had calmed down again, she then scooped up a bowl of minced meat and vegetable congee and placed it in front of Gluttony."

  The little guy looked at this and that, saw that Mo Jiu You didn't object, so he carefully stretched out his small paws, moved the bowl in front of himself, clumsily picked up the spoon, and ate a mouthful, getting it into his own mouth.

  Watching the little guy eat, Mo Jiu Yu had a temper in her heart, but she wouldn't bother to argue, carefully feeding Qing Huang as he ate, occasionally asking if it was hot or cold, and how the flavor was.

  When the noise came from downstairs, Qingkuang had only eaten eight-tenths full and listened carefully to the sound downstairs, with a deep and frightening look in his eyes.

  "What's wrong, are you full?" Feeling the sudden chill in the air, Mo Jiu Yu anxiously asked.

  "It's nothing." He lightly shook his head and took another two bites of the dish, as if the cold scene from just before had vanished like a fleeting flower.

  However, before Qing Kuang could take his third bite, a noisy voice came over in her direction.

  "Oh no, General, General..."

  "Scram, don't waste my time with nonsense. If you delay important matters, this broken shop of yours won't be needed anymore. When the time comes, General will make sure you can't finish what's on your plate and have to leave!" Heavy footsteps approached, accompanied by faint sounds of shoving.

  "Get out, you people inside!" The man called General was just about to kick the door open, but who among them was a good person?

  Bang! The door didn't budge, but the general was suddenly ejected from the second floor. In an instant, the people rushed out to watch the commotion, wondering what kind of person this was and what crime they had committed?

  No matter how noisy the outside world was, Mo Jiu continued to feed the person in his arms. When he saw Qing Kuang shaking his head, he suddenly became displeased.

  "Full?" The man gently wiped his mouth and still didn't forget to peck lightly.

  "I don't want to eat anymore." The things outside were obviously coming towards her, what mood did she have to continue eating? And the glutton who heard this on the side was delightedly gathering all the food in front of him, sitting down at the table with a big appetite.

  The general who had just been bounced out, fell sprawling on the ground, was completely unaware that he had already infuriated the people in the house, and his arrogance was even more rampant than before.

  "What a gutsy old man, daring to hit General Ben, are you tired of living?" Meanwhile, the people of Lingyuan Continent were indeed not to be underestimated, and a general was actually at the Earth Boundary Realm, it can be seen that there should be many more unknown strong men.

  "Are you all deaf? Hurry up and get out of here, what have you done, don't you know?"

  With a loud crash, the previously closed door suddenly shattered into pieces. Those who managed to dodge in time were lucky to escape unscathed, while those who didn't have time to dodge could only blame their bad luck, as the powerful force behind the door was something they couldn't resist.

  "Hmph! Don't think you can shrink into a turtle shell, do you know how to come out? Now that you're out, be honest and follow General Ben to see the Emperor. Otherwise, you'll be waiting for a severe punishment!" The general of the Xia Ye Empire sneered with a smile, glancing at Ben Lei who was following behind Xiao Kuang, truly an arrogant person!

  Originally depressed and irritable, after hearing these words, the cold air around him gradually deepened, and a pair of black eyes gradually turned red.

  "Looking for death!" As soon as the words fell, Suixin's dagger directly attacked the shouting person. However, Moque looked at Qingkuang with a hint of surprise, his family's servant girl wasn't such an easy-tempered person before!

  With a flustered dodge, General Xiaye wiped his cheek and found blood!

  "What's wrong with you, are you looking for trouble? Hurry up and bring her to me! The Emperor will surely reward us heavily if we kill her!" If it were just this one girl, he wouldn't be afraid, but there was also a super divine beast over there, and that inscrutable man whose taut muscles were warning him: this guy is dangerous! Very dangerous!

  Looking at the people rushing up around him, Qingkuang felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and he desperately wanted to burst out. The dark spiritual power was used, directly devouring the person who rushed up from the left side.

  "Kill!" Several overlapping heavy tones, a familiar scene, made Ben Lei look at Qing Kuang with a glance. The speed of this master's promotion is so fast, and now there is a hint of breakthrough. It's strange, the cultivation speed of humans has become so fast?

  The sound of "peng peng qiang qiang" came, and the original good-looking inn was no longer visible in its previous perfect state. The onlookers who were watching the excitement also hid, after all, one needs to have a life to watch the excitement!

  With a loud crash, the entire inn collapsed. Standing amidst the ruins, her long black hair fluttered in the wind, occasionally brushing against her cheek, but unable to conceal those piercing eyes.

  "Yātóu?" Mó Jiǔ's anxious voice rang out, for in the previous fight, little Yātóu had already left his arms.

  "Kill!" Not a single one will be left, these people are so annoying, it would be better if they were gone. A surge of murderous aura burst out, the girl in red clothes seemed like a fierce warrior from hell.

  Surrounded by the smell of fresh blood, the red-clothed girl became more and more brave, with a faint black aura surrounding her lightly mad figure, coordinating with the random dagger, instantly turning into a machine that harvests lives.

  General Xiaye had already secretly released the news long before he was defeated, but with Mo Jiu being here, how could he have been given an opportunity? When everything settled down, only General Xiaye was left lying on the ground, clutching his broken arm and glaring furiously at Liang.

  "Don't be smug, even if you kill me, you can't escape death..." With a splutter, the wretched man spat out another mouthful of blood. This time, even breathing was painful, clearly his ribs were broken and had pierced his lungs.

  "You're barely clinging to life, yet you still dare to shout? Hmm?" He crouched down, asking with a soft, wicked charm.

  "Heh heh, even if I die... cough cough, they won't let you off either, you've already become a target for those people, how long can you survive?"

  "Unfortunately, it's you who will go to hell first!" With that, he sent him to the west with a sinister tone.

  "Yātóu?" Xiaoxin carefully approached, Mójiǔyōu anxiously called out to Light Kanae.

  She suddenly turned around, gazing lightly at the person approaching her. Her originally vigilant eyes flickered for a moment before relaxing slightly. As the dark aura surrounding her slowly dissipated, she stumbled and almost fell over.

  "Girl!" He caught her in his arms and looked at her with concern.

  "Mojū yōu...... I'm so tired......" A hoarse voice came, leaning weakly against him, where was the strong momentum from just now.

  "When you're tired, lean on me. With me here, everything will be alright!" A gentle kiss landed on the reckless forehead, and Mo Jiu Yu picked him up horizontally, instantly leaving this place of right and wrong.

  However, the Guardian General was killed like this, and how could the Xia Ye Empire let it go? And those people he mentioned before his death, who were they after all? It's really one wave has not subsided and another rises.

  Of course, Qing Kuang also had doubts in her heart, but now she was more worried about the danger outside than her own body. Something strange must have happened, and at this time, the dark spiritual power on her spiritual foundation began to stir again, apparently still wanting to advance, but such a situation had never occurred before.

  "Ya Tou!" With a hint of madness, Mo Jiu You arrived at the outskirts of a remote small town in the Xia Ye Empire, his worries never ceasing.

  "Mo Jiu You, who was that person referring to just now?" All factors that could threaten her had to be strangled in the cradle.

  Even if Qing Kuang didn't ask, the man would still have all the information in his grasp. He tidied up his slightly disheveled hair and sat down calmly before explaining to Qing Kuang, "He's from the Divine Realm."

  "God realm?" Isn't this the mortal realm? How did we get involved with people from the god realm?

  "There are a few humans here who qualify to go to the Spirit Institute, so people from the Divine Realm came down to inform them. These humans want to please them, so they plan to work together to capture a Super Divine Beast and offer it up. However, now that the Super Divine Beast is yours, those people have all disappeared. Therefore, the Emperor here will naturally set his sights on you, and those people from the Divine Realm must also feel like they've been fooled. It's inevitable that they won't hold you accountable."

  "But how did they find out so quickly?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Qing Kuang suddenly understood. Since these people were Xia Ye's hope, once they lost their lives, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't know. Alas, it seemed like trouble had arisen.

  "Alright, it's just a small matter!" However, the little emperor of the human world and a few slightly higher-level humans were not even worth his attention. As he relaxed his furrowed brow, Mo Jiu couldn't help but ask out loud, "Girl, what was going on with you earlier?"

  Qing Kuang was still worried, but when he heard this, his whole body was stunned.

  "Don't lie to me, I'm worried about you." He had already felt that something was off before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Humans were indeed complex creatures.

  After hesitating for a long time, she finally told him about her situation. This person was experienced and knowledgeable, maybe he could help her come up with a solution!

  "I don't know why either, but my spiritual power has become very strange." As he said this, Qing Kuang also condensed the dark spiritual power in his hand.

  "Oh, how strange?" Grabbing Rou's hand, Mokkei was also looking at him seriously.

  "I also said it's not good, but the speed of this dark system's spiritual power upgrade is too fast, and it has never happened before. Also, I feel like I'm very bloodthirsty now..."

  After hearing this, Mo Jiu's heart was also constantly thinking. Indeed, the little girl's breath had undergone a huge change, and for an instant, even he felt strange. So what was the reason for the little girl's drastic change in personality?

  "Mo Jiu You, am I beyond salvation? Am I going to slowly become someone else?" Seeing that he didn't respond, a chill rose up from the bottom of her heart.

  "It's alright, don't scare yourself, aren't you fine now?" Patting the back of the reckless one, Mo Jiu had concerns in her heart but didn't say a word.

  Even with comfort, her frivolous heart still didn't dare to relax. She hesitated for a long time before deciding to speak out about this matter. And how could she, who was usually astute, ignore the worry in the man's eyes? It wasn't easy for her to have another chance at rebirth, and it wasn't easy for her to have a child, making up for the regrets of her past life.

  "Mo Jiu You, I don't want to part with you, I don't want to part with Ye Er..."

  For a moment, Mo Jiu You's emotions were also turbulent and majestic. He hadn't expected that the words he had been waiting for so long would be spoken in such a situation. Looking at the fragile person in front of him, he felt a mix of emotions all at once.

  "Mojie You, if I lose control of the dark spiritual power in the future, if I become someone else time and again, if one day I become a killing demon king and everyone in the world comes to hunt me down and kill me... what should I do?" She whispered softly, hugging the man's thick waist tightly.

  "Little fool... If that's the case, then for you, I'd be willing to make enemies with the entire world. What's the harm in that?" The usual overbearing tone, yet it spoke directly to Mo Jiu Yu's heart, and also revealed the unparalleled, majestic aura of a king who looked down on all living things!

  "Mojū yōu...... I thought it was fine, I thought it was fine......"

  "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, there must be a way to solve this. I believe my wife can suppress it..." Feeling a slight panic, Mo Jiu could only continue to comfort her, and it was only then that he regretted why he had looked down on humans in the past, why he hadn't understood them more. If only he had, he wouldn't be at a loss now. No, he needed to find an opportunity to return to the demon tribe and see if there was a solution. But as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but scold himself - what a foolish idea! The demon tribe would never have a solution. It seemed that he still had to go to the divine realm, perhaps the people there would know something."

  "I haven't seen Xi'er grow up yet, I haven't married you yet, I haven't spent a good day with you yet, I haven't said anything you want to hear... Mo Jiu You, what if in the future I really become someone else? What if I forget about you?" She clearly didn't want to talk about these sad topics, but all sorts of emotions surged up in her heart - anxiety, sorrow, distress, panic...

  "No way, I believe my little girl won't forget me. Think about that soul mark, how could you forget me?" Mo Jiu stroked her slender collarbone and gave her another calming pill.

  What about that scar? It was originally a shameful mark, but when did it become her exclusive sign for this man? No, she won't forget, absolutely not!

  "Mojie you, have I ever told you that I like you, really really like... like the way you smile at me, like the way you dote on me, even like the way you possess me, everything is just so likable... The trembling lips were pressed against the man's thin lips, and tears rolled down with her murmurs, wetting her lightly curled eyelashes. The bad premonition in her heart grew stronger, she couldn't see the road ahead, and there were things that if not said now, she feared would never have the chance to say again. Unknowingly from when, this person had gradually walked into her eyes, occupying her heart, the original hatred also slowly disappeared with time, a man who tolerated her, doted on her, yet had astonishing abilities, so wholeheartedly treated her, which woman wouldn't be moved? So she was willing to accept, willing to open her heart to him, the future was unpredictable, but at this moment, she had no regrets!"
