Free Web NovelChapter 1370: Chapter 430: Heartless or Affectionate
"Even lost the Beast Pet... useless little ghost, what are you dawdling for? If you don’t go now, I’m afraid you’ll only find a skeleton."
The stone monument seemed to instantly penetrate and understand people’s hearts, seeing through Little Jiu Nian’s thoughts.
This little ghost is still more suited to smiling; his crying face is truly unsightly.
Clearly he dislikes this little guy, but thinking that he’s leaving started to unsettle the stone monument.
"Land God, you’re right, I have to go. Don’t worry, after I find Chi Chi, I’ll come back to visit you."
Little Jiu Nian felt a bit reluctant, this grumpy Land God made him feel quite close, but he had to go find Chi Chi.
"Who’s rare for you to visit me, stop bothering me. Walk towards the direction of the sun, but don’t travel at night. Keep walking, and you can reach the village of the Demon World. Remember not to carelessly tell others... you’re a Demon Clan mixed blood."
The stone monument said moodily.
"Oh—"
Little Jiu Nian let out a long trailing sound.
Sure enough, the Land God is indeed the Land God, so powerful, he even immediately saw through him being Demon Clan mixed blood.
Though his voice sounded harsh, it was actually a kind advice.
The reluctance in his heart grew stronger, Little Jiu Nian hung his head and kicked the stones on the ground as he walked forward.
He had only walked a few steps.
"Come back."
Hearing the stopping voice behind him, Little Jiu Nian was delighted.
"Immediately hide behind me, remember, hold your breath, no matter what you hear, don’t make a sound."
The stone monument’s voice grew heavy, Little Jiu Nian wanted to ask something.
But his feet tightened, as if under the grip of a mysterious power, he was forcibly pulled to the back of the stone monument.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, as if about to collapse, the wind seemed to carry laughter.
A vast pressure spread across the sky.
All around, the wind and clouds changed color.
A large number of demon beasts heard the Wind Escape and fled.
In the wind, a rich floral scent drifted by.
Little Jiu Nian noticed, suddenly countless Flower Vines appeared all around.
On the Flower Vine, there were no green leaves, only clusters of Demon Flowers.
These were blood-red flowers, like the azaleas blooming all over the mountains in spring, yet even more romantically charming and dazzling than azaleas.
Accompanied by the floral scent, there was a sound of pearl hairpins swaying, a woman in a red dress appeared before the stone monument.
Seeing the strange stone monument under the canopy, the woman’s brows raised slightly.
She stood before the stone monument and sighed softly.
"Ah Jiu, an old friend, Moonflower, comes visiting."
Upon hearing that woman’s voice, Little Jiu Nian was very curious, he wanted to raise his head to see who that woman really was.
But still, the Land God’s warning rang in his ears.
He could only hug his legs, curling up into a ball, hiding behind the stone monument.
His back stuck to the stone monument.
Not the chill of stone, instead, there was warmth.
Little Jiu Nian’s soft little body leaned even closer.
"Demon Empress personally visiting, forgive Yan Jiu for failing to greet from afar, it’s truly a sin worthy of death."
The voice within the stone monument replied coldly.
Different from earlier driving Little Jiu Nian away, the voice inside the stone monument at this moment was chillingly cold.
Even Little Jiu Nian heard the hatred in the Land God’s voice.
So the Land God’s name was Yan Jiu, just like his own, both had the word ’nine’.
"Ah Jiu, when did things become so unfamiliar between us?"
Queen Xiyuan’s bonelessly soft fingers dusted off a speck of dust on the stone monument.
"Moonflower, on behalf of the Old Clan Leader, I call you Demon Empress. You still have the face to ask about the affection between us?"
Yan Jiu seemed to have touched something extremely filthy, furious and shamed, he rebuked.
"Ah Jiu, I did not come today to quarrel with you."
Moonflower sighed, her voice contained a faint tremble.
"I just ask, back then... did he really scatter his soul completely?"
"He? Moonflower, he’s been dead for so many years, surely you didn’t forget his name? Or are you even scared to mention his name? Whether he’s dead or not, you know all too well, don’t forget, who betrayed him."
"Ah Jiu!" Moonflower’s hand fell heavily onto the stone monument.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, seemingly bearing immense pressure.
"You know... you know I was forced."
Tears fell on her delicate face like broken pearls.
A beauty in tears, it’s the most moving scene for men, but to Yan Jiu within the stone monument, he only coldly laughed, as if witnessing the world’s biggest joke.
Once the Divine Guard, who would bleed but not shed tears.
Once Moonflower, who was devoted to Di Shen.
But now, everything changed.
Ambition and greed have changed everything.
"Forced? Moonflower, you, as the Little Princess, who could force you? Did Zhan Hen force you or did the Old Clan Leader force you? In the end, it was just hate stemming from love, you loved Di Shen for years, yet he didn’t love you. Unable to obtain, you wanted to destroy, Moonflower, you and Zhan Hen make quite the pair... despicable couple."
Yan Jiu’s savage and cold words, like a steel knife, pierced Moonflower’s heart.
Her tears froze in her eyes.
Moonflower could endure Yan Jiu’s mocking, and even endure being called a despicable couple.
But that word "not love", the fact that Di Shen did not love her shattered the last bit of her pretense.
Boom!
A terrible demonic power, the stone monument shook violently.
On the body of the stone monument, cracks appeared like a spider web.
He was injured by Emperor Zhan Hen, turned into the stone monument, the stone monument was his true form.
Yan Jiu let out a muffled groan.
Hiding behind the stone monument, Little Jiu Nian’s heart tightened, he anxiously looked at the stone monument.
He could feel the Land God was injured.
This vicious woman dared to harm the Land God.
Rage filled Little Jiu Nian’s eyes, he wished to immediately charge forward and fight the woman.
"No."
A Divine Sense passed into Little Jiu Nian’s mind.
Little Jiu Nian was startled by that authoritative yet somewhat tender voice.
Land God...
"So you already knew. No wonder, among so many people, he only considered you as a friend. Yes, I hate him, hate his coldness. He would rather disband the Divine Guard than inherit the Old Clan Leader’s position, he even refused to marry me. What’s wrong with me, I’ve been devoted to him for so many years, lived and died with him, who else can he love besides me? Zhan Hen was right, Di Shen has no heart, he does not know how to love. He doesn’t love me, he doesn’t love anyone."
Moonflower wiped away tears and laughed obsessively.
Seeing an old companion become like this, Yan Jiu fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed heavily.
"We were all wrong. Di Shen has a heart, he can love, but that person was just not you."
