Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 744 - 743: You Have Safely Passed Through the Tribulations in Little World

Chapter 744: Chapter 743: You Have Safely Passed Through the Tribulations in Little World

The Heavenly Demon could not figure out why.

Mianmian was also nice to it, would complain to it about various troubles the same way she talked to Su Ji, and would act coquettishly with it.

A month passed, then two months, and gradually, everyone around them also started to treat it kindly.

Everyone seemed to forget that Atian had once been a "Heavenly Demon" who only knew about killing, and they even cared whether it had eaten its fill or was dressed warmly.

The more gentle they were, the more the Heavenly Demon felt as if something was missing from life.

The care certainly made it feel warm, but it found itself gradually missing the solitude of having no one to talk to.

This complexity made the Heavenly Demon confused again, so it went to ask Mianmian.

Upon hearing this, Mianmian also felt it was strange, "Oh my, you’re talking about things Mianmian hasn’t experienced, Mianmian doesn’t understand, but Mianmian can ask Mianmian’s mother, she knows everything."

One big, one small, they brought the question to Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao was silent for a while, then said with a smile, "Atian, it’s good that you are willing to express your thoughts. About this issue, what I want to say is that you cannot have the best of both worlds. If you feel curious and crave warmth in solitude, and yet you long for bloodthirst and solitude in warmth, then you should make a choice, what kind of you do you really want?"

What kind do I want?

The Heavenly Demon sat cross-legged, looking utterly perplexed.

If it could not have both, it would have to try to know what it really wanted.

"I’m going to the Demon Realm for a few days."

After speaking, the Heavenly Demon had already vanished.

Mianmian threw herself into her mother’s arms, rubbing against her chest, and voiced her doubt, "Mother, was it really the right decision to keep him here? Liaoji died just to kill him."

Jiang Yao smiled slightly, "Liaoji died to buy time, to stop the Demon Clan’s massacre at that time. Has the massacre stopped now?"

"It has stopped."

"Have the Demon Realm and Human Realm been destroyed?"

"No, they haven’t."

Jiang Yao patted Mianmian’s back, "Some things can be judged by their outcomes. The Heavenly Demon is not continuing to kill, and that’s a good outcome. It’s also what Liaoji had hoped for."

Mianmian looked up, thought of Ling Xiao, and muttered, "But Daoist Master Ling Xiao always says the Heavenly Demon should die, that it shouldn’t be spared, claiming it will eventually continue killing like before."

"Hahaha, his perspective is biased." Jiang Yao paused, then continued with a gentle voice, "We can’t control our birth, but we can keep our instincts in check. The innate instinct of a newborn child is to eat, but as we grow up, aren’t we able to endure hunger?"

"Atian is the same; it is growing gradually. In fact, it is like a child, becoming what it is for lack of guidance." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"As for the outcome of its growth, what final choice it makes, that will be up to it to decide."

"Mianmian, everything exists for a reason, we can’t control everything so precisely, but we can follow our hearts. Once a choice is made, right or wrong, we just confront it."

"Mhm." Mianmian agreed happily.

She especially liked listening to her mother speak, and stayed cuddled in her mother’s arms for a long time before going back to her tasks.

After a long while, the Heavenly Demon returned.

Jiang Yao and her husband received the Heavenly Demon warmly as usual, but the Heavenly Demon was preoccupied.

It was only at night that the Heavenly Demon confided to Mianmian.

"In order to understand the difference between the two feelings, I attempted to kill someone."

Mianmian frowned.

The Heavenly Demon continued, "I only cut through his skin, the warm blood spread on my hands, and I felt exhilarated, but after the exhilaration, I felt empty."

It was food that sustained its very existence, yet it ended up feeling empty afterwards.

There was a moment of silence before the Heavenly Demon said, "I still want to be with you, but if I hurt someone, you’ll punish me, won’t you?"

Mianmian looked at the Heavenly Demon and after a while, she said, "Being with us is the punishment."

When the Heavenly Demon had asked her what she would choose, she already knew the truth.

As a natural-born Spiritual Child, the Spiritual Power she imparted to those around her made them stronger, but for the Heavenly Demon, this power was poison.

The Heavenly Demon couldn’t stay with them for long, as it would slowly die.

Indeed, as the days went by, the Heavenly Demon grew weaker and weaker.

But its relationship with Mianmian’s family improved, so much so that Ling Xiao found it increasingly unbearable.

The intoxicated Ling Xiao often muttered about Liaoji’s sacrifice, crying until dawn every day.

With his unkempt beard and eyes full of deep sorrow, not only did he cry himself, but Ling Xiao also wept in front of Mianmian, trying to let her understand Liaoji’s sacrifice.

Mianmian, with a headache from all the crying, waved her small hand, "Don’t be so prejudiced against Atian. Spend some time with him and you’ll understand."

Ling Xiao did as Mianmian suggested and started to spend time with the Heavenly Demon, Atian.

Then he discovered that the Heavenly Demon had truly changed. In the midst of those swirling eyes, there seemed to be different emotions forming.

Su Ji also had a good relationship with the Heavenly Demon. Lately, they had become obsessed with playing soccer, organizing matches to play every day. Ling Xiao came over and was promptly drafted to join.

At first, the Heavenly Demon could kick the ball far, but later on, it could hardly kick it at all and began to run out of strength as well.

Ling Xiao went to Mianmian and asked, "What’s wrong with the Heavenly Demon?"

Mianmian tilted her head, "It’s accepting the punishment it wanted for itself."

Then one day, quite suddenly, the Heavenly Demon prepared a big table of dishes for everyone.

After watching everyone finish their meal, its figure disappeared right before their eyes.

Mianmian saw the Heavenly Demon vanish, the same creature that initially didn’t understand why humans and members of the Demon Clan could laugh, smiled happily just before disappearing.

She wanted to say something more to everyone, especially to Ling Xiao, who wasn’t fond of the Heavenly Demon, but when she turned her head, she found that everyone had vanished one by one.

Then, another set of memories entered her mind.

Mianmian clapped her hands, "Ah, where’s Su Ji?"

A gentle voice came from the void, "Su Mianmian, you have safely passed the trial in the Little World, you may leave."

"Who are you?" Mianmian asked curiously.

As she finished speaking, the beautiful figure of a human-headed snake appeared before her.

Seeing this figure, Mianmian’s eyes widened.

Was this not Nuwa?

The human-headed, snake-bodied goddess Nuwa, who, according to mythology, created humans from clay, was considered the mother of the Human Clan.

"Miss Nuwa?" Mianmian called out tentatively.

The apparition smiled, "I am not Nuwa; I am the spirit of the Mountain River Sheji Map, which has taken on Nuwa’s appearance because I have been in her company for so long."

The Mountain River Sheji Map itself was a treasure of Miss Nuwa, so it was not surprising that its spirit resembled her.

Mianmian nodded, "Okay, Tutu, where is Su Ji then?"

The spirit smiled gently, "I still have things to discuss with Su Ji, so it’s better for you to leave first."

That meant that the conversation was not meant to be overheard by others.

Mianmian obediently went along with the force that was pushing her out and walked out of the Mountain River Sheji Map.
