Chapter 35 I Won't Abandon You
Krisha cried and ran away.
She fled far away.
Very far away.
Even the knights sent by "Father" could not find her anywhere.
Since then, the young Krisha has started a wandering life, constantly switching back and forth between half-dead and near-death.
Her demon identity is really easy to recognize.
The kind-hearted people who originally wanted to adopt Krisa would make frightened sounds and run away quickly after seeing the horns above their heads.
Why?
Why is this so?
As a young girl Krisha didn't understand, and it wasn't until she was older that she understood the reasons for people's fears.
This is a great era ruled by gods. The gods are benevolent and generous, and protect humans with their supreme divine power. However, the demons are evil fools who always kill humans and oppose the gods.
Therefore, people hate the demons from the bottom of their hearts.
"Get out, get out!"
"Great Sun God, please bring down your fire and burn this witch to death!"
People either drove them away in disgust, or pursued them with swords.
Krisha couldn't find a place to settle down.
So, she could only follow her mother's last words and continue to escape, farther away, to a place where even she could survive.
With this idea in mind, Krisha wandered for a long time.
She once laughed, picking up a naturally fallen fruit on the roadside, biting into it and it was sweet to her heart.
She had cried, trying to join the human children's games, only to be ostracized and stoned with bruises.
And later.
The laughter and crying were gone.
Only fear remains.
The older she grows, the more obvious Krisha's demonic characteristics become.
As long as they get a little closer, people can clearly see that the horns on her head and the scales on her body are the symbols of the devil.
Then more violence came.
They used hard rocks and rotten smelly food to hit the girl's head from a distance, leaving the girl covered in stink and wounds.
They happily poured out force, either kicking or whipping them, taking pleasure in the girl's pleas for mercy and screams.
He even tied the girl behind the carriage and let the carriage drag her along the ground.
Mother……
Why is this...
In the repeated torture, the light in the girl's eyes completely disappeared, and since then, her emotions have been defective.
I don’t know what joy is, and I don’t know where sadness comes from.
"Actually, this is a good thing."
Krisha said this, her eyes staring blankly ahead. There were no waves, only an eternal void.
If she is not sad, she will not cry, which can save a lot of energy. After the loss of emotion, she ran away much faster than before.
As long as you run fast enough, you won't get beaten.
Krisa shared her escape experience with Xu Xi. When she said this, her face was expressionless and her tone did not fluctuate at all.
She couldn't feel the cold, she couldn't feel the heat, she couldn't feel the warmth of her heart.
Like a robot.
Describe your past.
She told Xu Xi that the muddy water did not taste good because there was a lot of sand and gravel in it, and drinking it would make her stomach uncomfortable.
In comparison, the city's drainage ditches may be better, and the rats in them can also use them to satisfy their hunger...
"That's enough, Krisha!"
Xu Xi suddenly spoke up, interrupting the girl's words.
He took a deep breath, and his voice was heavier than ever before: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for causing you to recall so many painful things, I... I'm very sorry."
The voice of self-blame broke the tranquility in the air.
Especially after looking into Krisha's blank eyes.
That self-blame and guilt.
Becoming deeper.
"Sorry...?" The demon girl looked confused. She couldn't understand why Xu Xi wanted to apologize to her. Was it because she said something she shouldn't have said.
The master is infallible, and the sun that redeems her is infallible.
Krisha felt this sincerely.
Since Xu is right.
Then you must be the one who is wrong, right?
Thinking of this, Krisha looked at Xu Xi and suggested in a sincere tone: "I must be very useless for making you so embarrassed. Please abandon me."
Useless items should be thrown away, this is what the girl thinks.
after all.
This is how she was thrown out by her "father".
The witch considers herself to have no merits, except that she is excellent at being obedient.
Although she likes Xu Xi very much, although she wants to stay with Xu Xi all her life, and although she never wants to wander again, if Xu Xi chooses to abandon her, she will definitely leave far away.
Just like when her mother asked her to run away, she obeyed and ran away for a long time.
Yes.
Just be obedient.
Krisha sat there obediently, with her fingers crossed on her thighs, waiting for Xu Xi's verdict to get her out of this beautiful and dreamy home.
I'm a little bit sad to give up, but there's nothing I can do about it.
After all, he is so ugly, incompetent and despicable.
Being discarded is also a matter of course.
You should be content to have such a period of gentle treatment. How can you ask for more?
"..." Krisha sat quietly, still with that blank face, but her crossed fingers began to rub together unconsciously.
It was obviously just a few seconds of waiting, but it seemed to be stretching infinitely.
The girl who had lost her feelings also became inexplicably uneasy.
finally.
She waited for the final "judgment."
A warm and familiar big hand gently covered Krisa's head, moving left and right and rubbing it, with a faint warmth and comfort passing through.
"I will not abandon Krisa."
Xu Xi said so.
His voice was soft, but his tone was firm, and at the same time full of heartache and love.
"Eh", this result obviously exceeded the girl's expectations. She made a calm surprise sound, unexpectedly cute, and raised her head to look at Xu Xi.
"Really, mentor?"
She asked.
"Yes, really."
Xu Xi replied.
The bad luck that had been shrouded since birth suddenly disappeared, and the beauty that only appeared in dreams now truly shone into reality.
It was like a ray of light, bringing light to the girl.
Krisa was in a daze for a long time.
She thought that if it was in the past, she would laugh happily, or be moved to tears.
But after the emotional defect, she never experienced these two emotions again.
"... Thank you."
In the silent meditation room.
The girl suddenly felt a little sour in the tip of her nose.
Maybe she was tired from practicing meditation, she thought.
...
[You are surprised by the witch's talent, but what you care more about is her past and experience]
[Ravage, bullying, hunting, abuse, torture... Krisa has suffered almost all the evil deeds you can imagine. Her life is full of suffering. If she is not still young, there may even be something irreversible]
[You can't help but wonder whether human malice exceeds the demons in the abyss]
[You realize that it is far from enough to cultivate Krisa's strength]
[You also need to cultivate Krisa's personality and make her an independent person who can live well even if she leaves you]
