Demon's Self-cultivation

The inner demon has always been a kind of existence with great perseverance and perseverance, and can endure everything in order to achieve the goal.Otherwise, it is impossible for them to fall in love with (?) cultivators who also need a firm mind and want to kill forever.

After making up his mind to start learning the scientific knowledge of human beings, Little Demon plunged headlong into the ocean of knowledge, and never gave up even though he almost drowned half to death.And the biggest motivation for him was Mandel's more gentle, encouraging and even approving eyes when he looked at him.

Obviously, Mandel very much hopes to see the little devil study hard and make progress every day.In order to get closer to his host, Qiao Qiao naturally would not let go of this approach. He studied more and more attentively, and even gradually tasted a bit of "study makes me happy".

Thanks to the powerful spiritual power, Qiao Qiao's memory and comprehension ability are very strong. As long as he calms down, there is nothing he cannot grasp - after all, Qiao Qiao has experienced the tempering of the cultivation world.Even those ancient classics in the cultivation world that are difficult to understand and extremely test understanding can't help him, not to mention the "science" that everything in this world has principles to follow and evidence to follow.Even if Jojo doesn't adapt to the rules and logic of this world at the beginning, as long as he really invades it, he will be able to understand everything and draw inferences from one instance.

Of course, during this period, Mandel's existence was also indispensable, which made Jojo's study career more effective.

Mandel's knowledge reserve has far exceeded the school's teaching, and he is firmly ranked first in every exam. The school teachers also turn a blind eye to the "miscellaneous books" he reads in class, and are too lazy to care about it.Therefore, Mandel kept the e-reader used as a textbook in Qiaoqiao's hands, so that Qiaoqiao could study by himself when he was in school. As for those questions, they were left to be resolved on weekends. .

Whenever Qiao Qiao encounters a problem that he can't figure out, Mandel will explain it to him in the simplest and most refined language, which makes Qiao Qiao suddenly understand and understand.

In this way, the "study group" between Mandel and Jojo lasted for a week, two weeks, one month, two months... Mandel thought that Jojo was just a child's whim, but unexpectedly the other party really persisted , without even the slightest sign of stopping.

Mandel has never thought of himself as a patient person, and because of his past experience, he does not like to spend his precious time on meaningless people or things, but when teaching Jojo, he not only did not feel the slightest The irritability and impatience, but more and more joy and pride - this is really unexpected for Mandel.

I have to say that Jojo is really a lovely student.He is smart, hard-working, tirelessly absorbing knowledge, and never needs any supervision. Even Mandel occasionally worries that he studies for too long and makes himself stupid—of course, whenever he sees Jojo, he is still full of aura. He will quickly let go of this unnecessary worry.

Witnessing Qiao Qiao's rapid growth with his own eyes gave Mandel a strong sense of accomplishment, as if he had discovered and polished a brilliant diamond with his own hands, and his satisfaction was beyond words.

Qiao Qiao who studied so hard, Zhang Jie naturally found out.Zhang Jie is more than one year older than Qiao Qiao, and will go to school in the new year.Seeing that the little friend couldn't let go of the book, Zhang Jie also leaned over to take a look. Unfortunately, he was never a student, and soon gave up in a daze. Why are you watching this?!"

"Why can't I read it?" Qiao Qiao didn't raise his head, lines of beautifully written formulas flowed out from his pen without any stagnation.

Zhang Jie twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little sad that his little friend seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him: "You...why are you watching this?"

"Because I want to go to school early~" Qiao Qiao smiled expectantly.

Zhang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then there was a flash of ecstasy in his eyes: "Really?! You want to go to school with me?!"

Qiao Qiao's pen tip stopped for a moment, and he almost wanted to ask "Who gave you confidence?" However, when he thought of Zhang Jie's long-winded mother-in-law every time he mentioned Mandel, he didn't want to give the other party a chance to speak. .

Raising her head and looking at Zhang Jie, who looked like a big dog wagging her tail, Qiao Qiao bent her eyes, neither saying yes, nor denying - of course, in Zhang Jie's eyes, this was tacit consent.

Originally, Zhang Jie was still very resistant to going to school, but when he thought that his little friends would be with him, it seemed that going to school was not so unbearable.The only problem is-

"You are not old enough to go to school, can you go to school?" Zhang Jie scratched his face, a little distressed.

Although the compulsory education of orphans does not need to pay tuition fees, the usual tuition and miscellaneous fees and living expenses are not a small expense.Therefore, there is a quota for the number of orphans who can go to school every year. Zhang Jie has a lot of children who need to go to school at exactly the right age this year. For a few months, the young children are postponed to the next school. For younger children, wanting to go to school is even more impossible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jie was very distressed. He hoped to go to school with his friends, but he knew that it was impossible—even if Mrs. Neil, the dean of the orphanage, liked Qiao Qiao, she couldn't be broken for him. Orphanage rules and order.

Seeing the little friend studying hard, Zhang Jie scratched his head, wanting to tell Qiao Qiao this fact, but he was afraid that the little friend would be sad and disappointed.After brewing for a long time, Zhang Jie became ruthless. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mrs. Neil's voice: "Qiao Qiao~ Where are you?"

Hearing Mrs. Nell's call, Zhang Jie didn't raise it in one breath, coughing hoarsely, while Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up, she patted Zhang Jie's back perfunctorily, then dropped her pen and ran towards the direction of the sound, with a sweet voice As if dipped in honey: "Mrs. Neal~I'm here~"

Seeing Jojo running over, the smile on Mrs. Neil's face became more gentle. She knelt down and hugged Jojo's soft body into her arms, half blaming and half caring: "How many times have I told you not to run, the ground It is uneven, and there are so many broken stones, what should I do if I fall? Have you been with Zhang Jie for a long time, and you are disobedient?"

"No~" Jojo buried herself in Mrs. Neil's "broad" soft chest, and rubbed happily, "Because Jojo heard Mrs. Neil calling me~"

"What a baby, she loves to act like a baby!" Mrs. Neil was so touched by Qiao Qiao that her heart almost melted, she couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed the back of Qiao Qiao's head.

——Since becoming a human, Mrs. Neil, the manager of the orphanage, has also been the focus of Jojo's strategy. Now it seems that this strategy is really effective.

——That's right, who can escape from the man who can see the heart of the heart?

With a blushing face, he came out of Mrs. Neil's arms. Jojo's moist and soft eyes were full of admiration for Mrs. Neil. , leaving only a cute hair spin: "Mrs. Neil, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Neil looked at the shy Qiao Qiao with a smile, and rubbed his head: "It's your Uncle Xu who came and brought some food for everyone, and also mentioned you specifically, I'll take you to find Uncle Xu OK?"

"Okay!" Qiao Qiao raised his head quickly, and nodded happily, "Qiao Qiao misses Uncle Xu too~"

Mrs. Neil smiled, stood up and took Jojo's hand.

Following Mrs. Neil, Qiao Qiao soon met "Uncle Xu".This "Uncle Xu" is Xu Zhengjie, a veteran who retired from the battlefield two years ago and chose the relatively remote planet where Qiao Qiao is currently.

Probably because he was a soldier and killed people on the battlefield, Xu Zhengjie has a lot of evil spirit, coupled with that upright and serious face and deep scars on it, the children in the orphanage all have more or less affection for him. Even though they knew that the other party was a good person, they were very grateful to him for sending some food to the orphanage from time to time, but when facing Xu Zhengjie, the orphans were still a little terrified and at a loss.

——But Jojo is different from them.

Seeing Xu Zhengjie, Qiao Qiao shook off Mrs. Nell's hand without a trace, and jumped towards him like a bird.

Xu Zhengjie had already noticed Qiao Qiao's arrival, and quickly pulled him into his arms, his eyebrows slanted into his temples, he frowned in displeasure, and said in a stern tone, "Who are you running, be careful not to fall!"

Qiao Qiao shrank her neck, and stuck out her tongue playfully towards Xu Zhengjie.

Mrs. Neil also laughed when she saw this: "I've told him several times, but I can't change it."

"Qiao Qiao is so happy~" Blinking his eyes, Qiao Qiao raised his arms to hug Xu Zhengjie's thin waist, acting limply and coquettishly.

Xu Zhengjie had a helpless expression on his face, with a hint of a smile on his face—like Mrs. Neil, he had nothing to do with this little guy.

Holding Jojo's shoulders in one hand, Xu Zhengjie chatted with Mrs. Neil politely. Soon, the busy Mrs. Neil turned around and left, while Xu Zhengjie took Qiaoqiao and sat down on the steps of the small garden.

"Your favorite chocolate bar is specially reserved for you." As soon as he sat down, Xu Zhengjie took out a snack from his pocket and stuffed it into Qiao Qiao's hand.Xu Zhengjie likes children, otherwise he would not come to the orphanage to do charity from time to time, but people's hearts are biased, he can treat other orphans equally, but Qiao Qiao is the most special and the one he loves the most.

Unceremoniously took the chocolate bar, Qiaoqiao thanked it sweetly, then peeled off the wrapping paper and took a bite.Xu Zhengjie looked at him with a smile, his gentle eyes gradually moved away, as if he was looking at someone through Qiao Qiao.

——Yes, Qiao Qiao has always known that Xu Zhengjie is so kind to him, on the one hand, it is because of his continuous efforts to build a good relationship with the other party, but more importantly, Xu Zhengjie saw the shadow of another person in himself, and he was addicted to him. Memories of being with that person.

For being treated as a "stand-in", Qiao Qiao didn't have the slightest discomfort, or in other words, this was the result he deliberately caused.

When Qiao Qiao saw Xu Zhengjie for the first time, he found that Xu Zhengjie looked at him with a momentary blankness, which concealed a slight but strong nostalgia and guilt.At that time, Qiao Qiao didn't take this person seriously, but instinctively remembered this tiny detail. It wasn't until he started to worry about how to go to school that Xu Zhengjie was pulled out of his memory.

Following his "father" in the world of comprehension, Qiao Qiao can be regarded as well-informed, and he has a pair of "sharp eyes".He can tell at a glance whether a person's temperament is good or bad, his status is high or low, and his ability is strong or weak. Although it is not [-]% accurate, there are still [-]% to [-]% of it.

Although he didn't have much contact with Xu Zhengjie at that time, Qiao Qiao could tell that this Xu Zhengjie was by no means an ordinary caring person.Even though the clothes he was wearing looked old, the style was very old, and his appearance was ordinary, but Qiao Qiao intuitively discovered the uniqueness of this person.

Xu Zhengjie's clothes are old, but the quality of the fabric is very high - after all, he was originally the young master of a noble family, and Qiao Qiao, who has accepted the memory of the other party, can easily identify the quality of the fabric - and more importantly besides the clothes, From Xu Zhengjie, Qiao Qiao felt a kind of firm, proud and decisive temperament possessed by those who have been in the top position for a long time.

This kind of temperament is also present in Mandel.It's just that he is still too young, not as obvious as Xu Zhengjie.

Originally, whether Xu Zhengjie's status was high or low had nothing to do with Qiao Qiao, and he didn't pay much attention to it.But when Qiao Qiao didn't want to go to school through normal channels, he resolutely set his sights on Xu Zhengjie.

Like Mandel, Xu Zhengjie has undergone special training, and his vigilance and self-protection ability are even better than the young Mandel.Therefore, Qiao Qiao's approach to Xu Zhengjie was imperceptible and invisible, even in Xu Zhengjie's view, it was he who approached Qiao Qiao on his own initiative.

Qiao Qiao's method of enticing Xu Zhengjie to approach is very simple, that is, relying on the nostalgia in Xu Zhengjie's eyes.Every time Xu Zhengjie came to the orphanage, although Qiao Qiao didn't take the initiative to talk to the other party, he would always appear in Xu Zhengjie's sight range, and he was doing various non-repetitive things under Xu Zhengjie's watchful eyes.

With the keen perception of the inner demon, Qiao Qiao can accurately capture Xu Zhengjie's mood swings.Whenever Qiao Qiao did something, Xu Zhengjie's emotions fluctuated, which meant that Qiao Qiao had hit a deep memory point in his heart and brought back his memories of that person.Qiao Qiao memorized every mood swing of Xu Zhengjie, and repeated the actions at that time more frequently. As time went by, he became more and more like the person in Xu Zhengjie's memory, and even imitated some small movements vividly. .

Under such deliberate "seduction", Xu Zhengjie paid more and more attention to Qiao Qiao, and came to the orphanage more and more frequently, and even took the initiative to go to Qiao Qiao, chat and interact with him, and gave Qiao Qiao a further observation , Get to know his opportunities.

After a few months, Qiao Qiao was no longer an ordinary orphan in an orphanage for Xu Zhengjie. At some point, Qiao Qiao felt that the other party had regarded him as a kind of sustenance and support, constantly venting his memory on him. The nostalgia and guilt of that person in the heart, trying to make up for the debt to that person.

Looking at Xu Zhengjie's loving and gentle eyes for a few seconds, confirming that he can't see any alienation and defense in them, Qiao Qiao curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

— After laying the groundwork for so long, he can finally achieve his goal!
