Demon's Self-cultivation

Glaring fiercely and threatening to beat himself up to a Shaman who couldn't take care of himself, Asester turned his head and carried the "leaking" star thief to the training room, and gave him a good lesson.Shaman, who was cheated, also rushed over aggressively after treating Jojo's wounds and spraying blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine, and beat up all the star thieves who caused her to be glared at by the boss just to watch the excitement.

——Such "unhealthy tendencies" that "harm our companions" must not be tolerated!

Therefore, because of these two "fights", Qiao Qiao somehow became famous among the star thieves.Regardless of whether they participated in it or not, all the star thieves on the entire battleship knew that there was a beautiful child on the ship, which made the two bosses, their boss and Sister Shaman, "turn the crown into a cub" and messed up the ship. It's flying like a dog.

——Well, the two people that the entire Star Thief Group should not mess with are Asester and Sharman.The former is the head of the Star Thief Group, who speaks for himself in the group and controls the treatment of the entire group; while the latter is the chief physician of the infirmary, which is related to the treatment of the entire group after injuries...

Don't mess with it, don't mess with it.

In short, no matter what role he played in this "fight", Qiao Qiao really made an impression on the hearts of the star thieves with the help of the two big men.

Even, there were quite a few curious Star Thief who came to Jojo specifically, wanting to see what this "powerful" cub looked like.Then, after watching, they had to admit that the white and tender little guy with a pretty face does have some "demagoguery" abilities.

And Mandel, who has always been inseparable from Jojo, has become acquainted in Star Thief because of this-after all, he also has a prosperous beauty with a different style from Jojo.

Good-looking people are popular no matter where they go, at least they look pleasing to the eye and can improve their mood a lot.

Compared with Mandel and Jojo who were quickly recognized and accepted by the Star Thieves, the treatment of Davis and his party is obviously much worse.

The star thieves instinctively rejected those high-ranking nobles. After all, every time they dispatched, nine times out of ten they would rob such fat sheep.

Unlike Mandel, who was born noble but struggled at the bottom of society, persisted in himself but also knew how to cater to the public, Davis was a pure aristocrat who was highly praised and defiant since he was a child, and he was also a star thief. I hate the type of people who have status but don't have much ability.Coupled with his not-so-great face, but full of arrogance and dignity, every time the star thieves saw it, they couldn't help but want to wash their eyes and turn to look at the two newcomers on the ship. "Little Fresh Meat".

——No comparison, no harm.Compared with Davis, the Star Thieves are obviously more willing to bet curiosity and even goodwill on Jojo and Mandel.

Since Davis is considered an employer, the star thieves have to endure no matter how itchy their hands are, so they simply turn a blind eye to each other and treat him as a transparent person—anyway, their boss has not issued any regulations to force them to be enthusiastic about their employers. friendly.

It's not a good feeling to be ignored, not to mention the lively scene of Mandel and Jojo as a contrast.Even though Davis himself didn't bother to associate with these rude and rude star thieves, he was still suffocated, and after hastily eating some poor food, he returned to the room assigned to him, out of sight and out of mind. bother.

Davis left angrily with his subordinates, and Mandel put his arms around Jojo, and also bid farewell to the star thieves.Qiao Qiao didn't take a good rest all the way, and has been relying on her strong mental strength to hold on. At this time, she finally settled down, and her physical exhaustion broke out suddenly. She couldn't keep her eyes open when she was eating. Del fell asleep in his arms.

It is rare to see such a soft and cute child on the ship. Most of the Star Thief still have some sense of caring for the cubs, and let them have a good rest. After all, the ship will sail for several days before reaching the real destination.

Mandel hugged the little guy lying limply on his shoulders and breathing smoothly, followed the star thief who led the way to the room, and carefully put Jojo on the bed.

Leaving the host's embrace, Little Demon struggled to open his eyes, yawned and raised his hand to rub his eyes, but was gently stopped by Mandel.

"Do you want to take a shower? Or just sleep like this?" Mandel skillfully unbuttoned Jojo, took off his clothes, and asked softly.

Jojo shook his head: "No, I still have something to ask Brother Mandel~"

"You are too tired now, let's talk after we sleep?" Mandel paused.

"Don't!" Qiao Qiao tried to open his eyes wide, indicating that he could continue to stay awake, "If I don't finish talking, I can't sleep well!"

Mandel helplessly rubbed Jojo's head, compromised and gave up the plan to put him to sleep: "Okay, then what do you want to ask?"

"Who is that Davis?" Speaking of the business, the little devil suddenly became more energetic, with a dignified expression—although his dignified appearance can only be described as cute in Mandel's eyes.

"He is indeed related to me by blood, he is the son of my grandfather's eldest sister." Mandel shrugged, "I saw him a few times at banquets when I was young, so I am not familiar with him, and I don't have much friendship with my parents. "

Qiao Qiao nodded lightly: "What about you, brother? What is your identity? Who is your enemy?"

Mandel frowned slightly: "I don't want to involve you..."

"But I'm already involved!" Qiao Qiao interrupted him with a rare tough tone, "And I don't plan to leave. This time, brother should see my attitude."

"...Yeah, you have always had this attitude." Mandel smiled wryly, "I am deceiving myself and others."

"So, can you tell me everything now?" Qiao Qiao shook his legs.

Mandel was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, with an extraordinarily solemn tone: "My real name... is Mandel, Westin."

Hearing the surname "Westin", Jojo's eyes widened for a moment.And Mandel, who had been staring at him, naturally did not miss this subtle change: "It seems that you have heard of this surname and know what happened to my family?"

Qiao Qiao nodded silently, and briefly talked about his visits to the Central National Library to look up materials in the past three years.

Mandel originally thought that Jojo had heard rumors about the Westing family by accident, but he didn't expect that he would put in so much effort to find out his own life experience. He was shocked, blamed himself and moved for a while. .

Mandel always knew that Jojo cared about him, but he didn't know that he cared to such an extent; he took Jojo's oath to help him as childish words, but he didn't know that Jojo had done so much for this agreement. many things.

——It turns out that this little guy has always known how heavy things are behind this oath, but he has never evaded, never flinched, and went forward bravely.On the contrary, he, the person he wanted to help, never took his efforts to heart, ignored his intentions in an understatement, and thought that he was thinking of the other party.

The little guy should have always known that he was perfunctory and ignoring his persistence, so he never asked him about his hidden secrets, but worked hard and approached him silently, until now he showed everything in front of him.

Now that I think about it, I really look like a heartless person.

He arbitrarily decided whether the other party would go or stay, but he never paid attention to the other party's decision.He enjoys Jojo's pursuit, and thinks he cares and loves him, but he never really looks back, takes a good look at this little guy who is stumbling and desperately following behind him, and gives him true trust and acceptance.

——Qiao Qiao, has never been a weak cub who can only live under the shelter of his wings, he is also trying to stretch his immature wings, trying to shelter him from the wind and rain.

Mandel was so moved by his own association that he involuntarily reached out and hugged Jojo into his arms, as if he never wanted to let go.

When Davis sent someone to find him, he had already reluctantly decided to leave Jojo and come back to look for him after all the dust settled.But now, Mandel has completely changed his mind.

He can't do without Jojo, and since the other side can't do without him, no matter what difficulties and obstacles they encounter in the future, no matter what storms they face, they will support each other, rely on each other, and move forward together.

He must not let down Jojo's intentions and hard work—and Jojo's present and future all belong to him and must not be shared by anyone.

Hugging Jojo tightly, Mandel tried to calm down his ups and downs, while the little devil nestled in Mandel's arms, feeling his host's sometimes bright and passionate, sometimes restless and gloomy breath, completely confused about the other party. What exactly was the stimulus.

——Human beings are really hard to understand.Be careful how many times Mo felt so emotional.He was clearly discussing serious business with his host just now, why did his host's mood suddenly collapse? ? ?

Be careful Mo thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so he could only be patient and obediently act as the host's pillow, waiting for him to recover from the weird mood swings.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the little devil was about to fall asleep again, and Mandel finally moved, and slowly loosened the arms that were holding him tightly.

Little Demon blinked quickly to dispel the drowsiness in his eyes, but still left behind a layer of sleepy mist.

Seeing that he was about to meet his host's eyes, Xiao Xiaomo gave a "thud" in his heart, and secretly said "it's going to be bad" - after all, the other party was excited, but he was drowsy there, no matter what he thought, it was the rhythm of an accident!

However, before the rare and panic-stricken Little Devil could think of a way to deal with it, he met Mandel's red eyes that also seemed to be filled with water.

The little devil who thought he was about to fall off the horse: "...?????"

"I'm sorry, it was all my fault before. It's all because of my distrust that you have to spend so much effort to find out the truth that you can know by asking me." Mandel held Jojo's cheeks, There was a kiss on those moist eyes, full of tenderness and apology.

The little demon who survived the catastrophe calmed down his violent heartbeat, quickly regrouped, and hit the snake with the stick.

"It doesn't matter!" He blinked his eyes and showed an innocent smile, "It's because I'm too weak, so my brother doesn't believe me. Jojo never blamed my brother!" He clapped Mandel's praise Holding the hand on his cheek, he held it firmly, "I will try my best to prove myself to my brother, so that my brother can truly agree with me and believe in me!"

"Now, you have done it." Mandel's expression became softer, and he touched Jojo's forehead and the tip of his nose, "From now on, brother will not hide anything from you."

Hearing this promise, Xiao Mo's eyes lit up, and a sense of satisfaction that he finally got what he wanted came spontaneously.

——There is no secret between him and his host, this is exactly what he has been striving for for a while!It has been more than five years since I met Mandel, and the little demon has finally achieved the treatment that he can get once he possesses the host as a demon. Thinking about it, it is really... so sad that the demon wants to cry!

The little devil showed an excited and tearful smile, obviously the thoughts in his mind were completely different from those of his host, but it perfectly fit the current atmosphere.

Such a sincere and tearful smile is especially contagious. Mandel deeply felt the complex emotions of the little devil's happiness and sadness, and couldn't help but feel more self-blame and full of tenderness.

——This is about... the so-called "communication of mind"?
