Demon's Self-cultivation

After making up his mind, the little devil blinked his eyes, with pure curiosity on his face: "Then what is the level of mental power detected by Brother Mandel?"

"...It's S." Taking a deep look at Jojo, Mandel was silent for a moment, before finally answering.

Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up, and he puffed out his chest proudly: "Slightly worse than Qiao Qiao!"

"Yeah, a little bit worse than you, you are the best." Mandel laughed, feeling that he was always bitter and bitter in front of this little guy—but it was this relaxed feeling that made him grow stronger. I like staying with Jojo more and more.

"Of course, Brother Mandel is also very good~" Qiaoqiao realized that he was showing off too much, and Qiao Qiao tilted his head shyly, and made up for it, "I heard Uncle Xu and the others say that he is not yet an adult. Jojo is the only one who can reach S level, I didn’t expect Brother Mandel to be the same as Jojo!” He laughed innocently, Jojo grabbed Mandel’s hand and shook it happily, “It’s so wonderful! alright!"

"What's there to be happy about?" Mandel smiled, but there was still a trace of bitterness and envy in his eyes—he envied that Qiao Qiao could still smile innocently at this time, and regarded having the same S-level mental power as himself A good thing, and I'm really happy for it.

"Shouldn't you be happy?" Qiao Qiao blinked in surprise and inexplicable, feeling the increasingly complex emotions of her host, and continued to probe, "Isn't it a good thing to have a high level of mental power?"

"...Maybe... it's a good thing." Mandel sneered.His dark gray eyes were blank for a moment, and he vaguely recalled his mother's surprised and excited expression after the test result came out, and his father's eyes full of strength and expectation looking at him.

However, soon, this beautiful memory was covered with blood, Mandel's eyes suddenly sank, the breath around him condensed, and his handsome and delicate face like ice jade became more and more cold to the marrow.

He didn't want to mention these at first, after all, this is his deepest and least known secret, and unless he successfully fulfills his wish, he doesn't want to be peeped at all in his life.

But looking at the "stupid and ignorant" little guy in front of him, after hesitating for a moment, Mandel couldn't help reminding him of the cruelty of human nature, telling him that this world is not as beautiful and pure as he imagined.

Staring closely at the puzzled Jojo, Mandel's tone was full of stern irony and unconscious hatred: "For those who love you, the higher the spiritual power you have, the more outstanding you are. That's a good thing - but for someone who hates you, envies you, tries to take something away from you... it's going to spur them on to try and kill you before you grow up. You, thus bringing endless disasters to you, and even to those who love you."

Qiaoqiao had never seen Mandel with this expression before, and he involuntarily widened his eyes, meeting Mandel's cold gaze suppressed with strong hatred.A few seconds later, as if he had been stunned, he finally came back to his senses, his body trembled suddenly, and he lowered his eyes timidly.

——However, his heart was jumping with joy, only feeling that he finally took a big step closer to his host.

Sure enough, he guessed right. It was precisely because this test of mental strength touched the interests of some people that Mandel changed the original trajectory of his life and caused disasters.And he is working so hard now, probably because he wants to become stronger quickly, and then take revenge on those enemies who "changed his life".

——Hate or something, the little devil likes it best~ After all, human beings are easily carried away by hatred, and have since been reduced to the puppets of the heart devil.

Silently, the little devil smiled in his heart, he seemed to have seen a bright future for himself to control the host.

Cheering desperately in his heart, Qiao Qiao looked like a shivering little quail that was wet by rain and frightened by thunder.

His complexion was pale, and he carefully looked at Mandel through the gaps between his trembling eyelashes. He didn't dare to take a breath. He looked like a naive, ignorant and timid little fellow who was frightened by his friend's sudden change of face.

Seeing Jojo like this, Mandel couldn't help but regret for a while.Although he always hoped that Qiao Qiao would stay away from him, it was definitely not in this way.

Even, at this moment, Mandel found that he could no longer understand his true intentions. He seemed...not really willing to see Jojo alienate him as he imagined.

——People are about this complicated. For the same thing, they can both desire and repel; they want to get closer and try to stay away.

In short, the current Mandel doesn't want to leave a horrible impression on Jojo.He gradually slowed down the cold and stern expression on his face, and his tone softened: "What? Are you scared? Sorry." After a pause, he smiled wryly, "I... still can't control my emotions."

Looking fixedly at Mandel, Jojo remained silent.

Just when Mandel was feeling uneasy and at a loss what to do, the little devil who knew well what it means to "repress before raising one's will" finally acted—he pressed his petal-like lips and Yuxue's cute little face tightly, When Mandel was racking his brains to think about the words of apology, he plunged into his arms.

Caught off guard, he subconsciously hugged that fragrant and soft body, Mandel's face was blank, and he couldn't even react.And the little demon knelt on Mandel's lap, hugged his neck with both hands, and rubbed his little head against the crook of his neck a few times: "Brother Mandel...don't cry..."

He said not to cry, but the voice of the little devil was trembling with tears. Mandel seemed to feel that there were warm water marks on the skin of his neck as he moved.

Due to his noble background, Mandel has more or less cleanliness, and he doesn't like to be approached by people, let alone being rubbed with some unknown liquid.

But for some reason, this time, Mandel didn't feel the slightest disgust and discomfort. On the contrary, his heart was warm, and his mood that had been gloomy just now suddenly cleared up, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't cry." Mandel rubbed the back of Jojo's head amusedly, "It's you, why are you crying?"

Qiao Qiao sniffed and said firmly, "No, brother is crying! Qiao Qiao can feel it! When brother cries, Qiao Qiao will also be sad. Naturally... he also cried..."

Hearing Jojo's answer, Mandel was stunned for a moment and fell silent.

——Since that day, he realized that crying and pain are of no use at all, but will make the enemy more happy and proud. He swore that he would never let himself cry weakly again, and even forcibly suppressed the sharp pain of losing everything.

He became indifferent, strong, and focused, dedicating everything to that goal, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being like this.

But now, holding the little thing that was crying because of him, Mandel felt his nose sore and his eyes moistened. He closed his eyes forcibly for a long time, and then he suppressed the sudden tears and regained his calm.

——In the final analysis, he is still just an underage child, a child who has to force himself to be strong and grow up in the midst of great changes.

Gently stroking Jojo's soft hair, Mandel showed a relaxed smile: "Thank you."

Feeling the emotions surging around his host returned from cold and sharp to soft and smooth, Be careful Mo Nest hooked the corners of his lips in Mandel's arms, very satisfied with his influence on the host.

He stopped sobbing, and turned his hands that were holding Mandel's neck against his host's still slightly thin but muscular rudimentary chest. His big eyes looked at Mandel seriously: "Brother Mandel...do you want revenge?"

Mandel's expression was calm, as if he was not surprised by this question at all: "It seems that you guessed it?"

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

Mandel sneered, and rubbed Jojo's head: "Yeah, you are so smart, and your mental power level has reached S, so you can naturally guess - even if you are only five years old, you are not a child who knows nothing. gone."

Although he said this in his mouth, Mandel's expression was still gentle and loving, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of jealousy towards the little devil. Instead, he still regarded him as a silly, white and sweet little angel.

"Yes, I will definitely take revenge." He lowered his eyes slightly, his tone firm.

Raising his hand, he stroked Mandel's drooping long eyelashes. Qiaoqiao drew the gaze of his host back to himself, and then showed him a big smile: "Then Qiaoqiao will help brother!"

"I don't need your help." Mandel laughed, with a gentle expression, "Jojo just needs to grow up happily. I will avenge myself."

"No!" Puckering his lips, Qiao Qiao puffed out his chest in dissatisfaction, "Qiao Qiao wants to help brother!" His expression was very confident, and he couldn't wait to get the affirmation of important people, "Although there is nothing now, I don’t know anything, but Jojo’s level of mental power is so high, it will definitely become powerful soon!” Gently grabbing Mandel’s silver hair, Jojo’s voice was firm, “When the time comes, Jojo will definitely be able to Help brother!"

Looking at the little guy half-kneeling on his lap, Mandel's dark gray eyes were brighter and warmer than ever before.He stretched out his hand involuntarily, pressed the little thing back into his arms, and hugged it tightly.

——This was the first time that Mandel took the initiative to hug Jojo. He was not good at words, and he could not find any other way to express and vent the surging feelings in his chest except for this gesture.

Obviously it’s just a child’s talk of a four or five-year-old child; obviously at this moment, the other party probably doesn’t know what kind of promise he made; obviously this promise... may not be fulfilled in the future, but at this moment, Qiao Qiao Mandel is grateful enough to be able to say such words and have such a heart.

——A little guy who once made me very distressed and didn't know how to get rid of him, but now he has become an existence that warms me, supports me, and even redeems me. The things in life are really unpredictable.

"Thank you." Mandel spoke clumsily, and could only whisper these two words again, slowly stroking along Jojo's thin back.

Qiaoqiao buried her head in Mandel's arms, curled up her mouth happily like a cat with smooth hair, squinted her big eyes and rubbed against her host's chest.

——Of course, he will help his host, not only to help him take revenge, but also to fuel the flames, making him go further and deeper on the road of hatred.

The current host is too calm when it comes to hatred, how can this be?Xiaomo couldn't wait to see the other party's madness because of hatred.

——That must be...the most beautiful, extreme scenery like the destruction of a planet.
