Demon's Self-cultivation

"Why, you can't bear to part with your brother Mandel?" Seeing that Qiao Qiao had been staring blankly out of the porthole, Shaman walked over, sat down beside him, and gently patted his head.

A trace of doubt flashed in Qiaoqiao's eyes, he hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Don't think about it, that kid is incapable, he can't protect you, and you need to sacrifice yourself to help him, it's not worth your concern at all." Shaman snorted lightly, with a disdainful tone.

"...I don't need his protection." Jojo didn't like Shaman's attitude when talking about Mandel very much, and retorted sullenly.

——He really doesn't understand why these human beings have such a strong desire to protect him, and they always feel that he just needs to be protected properly, as if without the care of other people, he will not be able to survive.

——Obviously, except that he loves to cry a little (?), is there not much difference between him and other human cubs of the same age?

Qiaoqiao heard Shaman's doubtful tone, but it seemed that he was trying to excuse Mandel.Although she likes this little baby very much, for Shaman, the interests of the Star Thieves are undoubtedly the highest.

Now, Qiao Qiao is the "trade product" they got after completing the task, and it belongs to the "property" of the Star Thieves. Shaman will never let him "love his old master" just because he loves and pities him.

The glamorous face with a smile turned serious, Shaman frowned, and said in a slightly displeased tone: "You are now a member of our Star Thieves, don't think about escaping—and you can't escape either. Regardless of the vast universe, you have nowhere to go, even if you escape, we will definitely catch you back." Approaching Qiaoqiao, Shaman's blue eyes froze, "At that time, we will catch you Locked in a cage like a bird, you know?"

No matter how gentle and kind she is, Sharman is a genuine Star Thief after all, and she can use threats and lures at her fingertips. She will never abandon the "principle" of being a Star Thief just because of sympathy and love.

"As long as you are obedient, everyone in the Star Thief Group is very friendly. Here, you will find a better partner." Seeing the fear in the child's eyes, Shaman smiled again, "You treat this place as your home." , everyone will be your family, I promise. Even the leader who looks so vicious is very kind to everyone in the Star Thieves. The tradition of our black vulture is to protect the calf! With us, no one People can bully you. A scum like Davis——" Sharman narrowed her eyes slightly, and a stern look flashed in her eyes, "If we come, we will kill one!"

Silently recalling how everyone in the Star Thief Group was beaten and screamed by Asester, Jojo was deeply suspicious of Shaman's words.However, being coaxed by the other party with a big stick and a candied date, he was also "coaxed" quite face-saving, showing a timid but sweet smile to Sharman.

Shaman's eyes lit up, and she held him in her arms for a long time. After being called several times, she reluctantly left, and the little devil also heaved a long sigh of relief.

——I always feel that human women are really particularly tricky, even the demons are hard to parry...

Seeing Shaman turn around and leave in a good mood, Qiao Qiao rejoiced for a moment that he was finally "out of trouble", but in a moment his mood became depressed—however, even he himself didn't know what he was depressed about.

Since getting a human body and interacting with human beings, Xiaoxiaomo feels that his emotions have become more and more complicated and diverse.Today, he understands more and more the vagaries of human emotions—look, he can't even fully understand and sort out his own feelings, let alone other things that "people's hearts are separated from the belly". people.

Little Demon felt that he was probably a bit reluctant to part with his host as Shaman said.In the past five years, he and his host have been inseparable. Even if the two sides do not meet every day, they can contact each other anytime and anywhere, so there is not much sense of distance - because they know that the other party is there.

But now...

——This is roughly what humans call "love with each passing day"?Because he has been with Mandel for a long time, has he developed "feelings" for Mandel like a real human being?

But in terms of time, wouldn't it be more "emotional" for him to have been with his "father" in the cultivation world for nearly a hundred years?Besides, even if the "father" in the cultivation world is not mentioned, Xiaoxiaomo has known Xu Zhengjie for a longer time, and Xu Zhengjie's love and care for him is no less than that of Mandel, so why is he not so entangled with Xu Zhengjie? a feeling of?

Little Demon turned over a little annoyed, and buried himself in the soft sofa.

In addition to the reluctance and loss caused by the separation, he was even more irritated with himself... he became less and less like a demon.

The meaning of the existence of the demon is to sharpen and test, and there are only two kinds of results afterwards: one is that the host kills the demon, and is reborn from the ashes, and the heart and will will go further; Sink into depression, become mediocre, and even collapse to death.

Regarding these two results, demons naturally prefer the second one.In addition to the sense of accomplishment of winning, it is also because it is difficult for the demons and the host to coexist.One lives and the other dies, either the host kills the demon and soars into the sky; or he is crushed by the demon, and the demon escapes with "consummation of merit".

Every kind of existence instinctively has the desire to survive, and the inner demon is no exception.Therefore, the biggest goal of the demons is to find an excellent host, and then kill him to prove themselves.Regardless of whether the final result is defeat and death or victory and departure, the demons will accept it calmly. After all, what they enjoy is manipulating the host's emotions, watching the opponent's struggle in their hands, and regard it as the greatest joy of demon life .

——It was the same for the little devil in the past.But when he became human, this feeling changed unconsciously.

This time, the "Heart Demon Tribulation" led by the Little Demon will not harm the host's life—after all, the goal of the Heart Demon is to destroy the spirit, and he does not bother to simply destroy his body— But Little Demon has never been merciful to his host from beginning to end.

During the whole process of "Heart Demon Tribulation", Little Beacon was very excited.He has worked tirelessly for this for five years, and now that his five-year long-cherished wish has finally come true, why is he not happy and excited?

However, when all the dust settled, the little devil's excitement gradually faded away, and the feeling that remained in his heart now was not as satisfying as he had imagined.

In the eyes of Xiao Xiaomo, the final result of this "Heart Demon Calamity" is that he won a complete victory, while the host of the calamity was beaten down and depressed.

This kind of Mandel has never been seen by Xiaomo.In his impression, his host has always been so firm, decisive, and brave.But after the "Heart Demon Tribulation", his host changed.He became hesitant, restless, and even less confident.Even in the face of the little devil, he no longer showed the tough possessiveness that could not be concealed in his gentleness, but instead showed a cautious and uneasy inferiority complex.

——Even, facing the situation where he needed to part with Jojo, and he didn't know when he would meet again, he still didn't dare to show any resistance, silently and submissively allowing Jojo to be taken away by Asester.

Such a Mandel, in the eyes of the little devil, has already lost its brilliance.He felt that he who won the victory should be elated and complacent, and then leave without hesitation, but in fact, the situation was just the opposite.

Facing Mandel, who was so depressed and depressed, like a puppy in the water, the little devil actually felt a kind of emotion called "distressed", and even a trace of regret and disappointment.He regretted it, and felt that maybe he should be a little more "gentle" when he started. He was disappointed, disappointed that his host was really defeated by the test.

——Being merciful in the "Heart Demon Tribulation"?Hope that your host can defeat the demons?This is ridiculous in the eyes of the heart demon, and the little demon can't accept that he really had such an extremely weird idea.

Obviously, when he won the heart demon tribulation for the first time, and watched his "father" struggling under the thunder tribulation, and was about to die, all he felt was indifference and joy, but absolutely no sadness or guilt.

However, now, from Mandel, who is in a much better situation than his "father", he actually feels these emotions—this is an unbelievable change for the heart demon, and it makes the alarm bells in his heart change!

Therefore, even though he was very entangled and even reluctant to give up, Little Beast still chose to leave with Aseste, and told himself that since he had "destroyed" the host and won the victory, he should leave here and find a new host .

——If he leaves Mandel, then he should gradually forget his "feelings" and return to "normal", right?

Convincing himself in this way, the little demon, who was proudly unwilling to be "anti-controlled" by the host, resolutely abandoned the "former host" that had been lingering in his mind and made him uneasy, and turned his attention to the "new host" " on the body.

——Although he once set up the great ambition of "conquering the stars and the sea", the little devil who "works hard" knows that he can't eat a fat man in one bite.

In this Black Vulture star bandit group, he can learn a lot, such as how to drive a battleship; how to command a battle; how to avoid various and unpredictable dangers in the universe; and even how to communicate with other universe races ——And these are things he couldn't learn in school and books.

As a great demon who wants to conquer the stars and the sea, how could he not understand these necessary skills for traveling in the universe?So... study, you must continue to study, and you must not relax!

Then, in the process of learning, I should also find a host that suits my heart again, play with the host while studying, and combine work and rest.

Humans still have an old saying, "If you don't go to the old, you can't come to the new", and there is also a saying that "The best way to cure a broken relationship is to find another love." Be careful, these words are about as far as the host is concerned. The same applies.

When he has a new host and devotes all his energy and attention to the new host, he should not be so worried about Mandel, and it will be unforgettable, right?

——In this way, he can become himself again.

Therefore, finding a new host is imperative.However, the previous host has already fed the appetite of the little demon. Even though Mandel has not yet grown into a powerful and fearless existence like the master swordsman in the cultivation world, his excellence is beyond doubt.

——In other words, if he really became such a powerful existence as the master swordsman, Xiao Xiaomo would be defeated by him in nine out of ten cases.

Taking his former host as the model, Little Demon worked hard to plan his requirements for the next host.

First of all, your new host must be strong and have outstanding willpower, otherwise it will be ruined in two or three times, and there is really no fun at all-at least you have to "fight" with yourself for so many years like the previous host. eventually fell.

Secondly, the appearance of the new host must also be online.Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching, and the picky little devil couldn't "coexist day and night" with him willingly.

Finally, the character of the new host should be better. You don’t need him to be gentle and doting on you like Mandel, and you should at least get along with him happily.

After thinking about it this way, Xiaomo filtered all the members of the Black Vulture Star Thief Group he had seen, and finally hesitated, and locked his eyes on Asester again.

Asester's toughness and firmness are unquestionable. He has gone through countless ups and downs, and he is even better than the still young Mandel.If it is said that his "father" just passed the C-level difficulty, and Mandel is a rather tricky A-level difficulty, then Asest is obviously a high-end challenge of the S-level.

Xiaomo feels that after "killing" the former host of A-level, he should be able to make persistent efforts and seek higher challenges!

Of course, even though Asester was chosen, Xiao Xiaomo was not so satisfied.After all, this person's personality is really annoying, and he has been taking pleasure in bullying him.In front of Aseste, Xiaomo sometimes really wished to bite the opponent to death, if he was to be submissive to this bad character and carefully curry favor with him, Xiaomo would not be happy at all.

——Hmph, this guy is not as cute and caring as his former host!

Realizing that when I was thinking about the new host, my true heart was still circling around the former host, and no matter how I compared it, I still felt that the former host was better. Head, a low wail.

——This feeling of "broken love" is simply poisonous!

It seemed that he had to act immediately tomorrow to start "hunting" his new host!

——Asest, who was in the captain's cabin, sneezed violently, and rubbed his tall nose inexplicably.
