1427 Untitled
She pressed her left hand on her heart and felt the beating heart in her chest as she said with a sad expression, “He gave me this heart. After he lost his heart, he only had one Beast Heart left. During that period of time, his body was very weak. It was also at that time that we became a couple. We really loved each other and planned to spend the rest of our lives together, but he was seriously injured in the Demon Subduing War and fell into a coma.”
This was the first time Madam Brulee had taken the initiative to mention her previous relationship to Jun Qing.
Jun Qing was born 300 years ago, but Zhan Jiuxiao and Madam Brulee had a relationship more than a thousand years ago, so the information Jun Qing had was actually very limited. However, he knew that he had been seriously injured in the Demon Subduing War and fell into a coma afterwards.
Upon hearing Madam Brulee mention this, Jun Qing realized that the battle had very likely become a turning point in their relationship, so he asked curiously, “But didn’t he wake up later? Didn’t you guys continue dating for another year after he woke up?”
Madam Brulee shook her head. “After he woke up, he started acting a little strange. I remember that the day he woke up, he gave me a confused look after he saw me. Then, he actually shouted his sister’s name at me. But at that time, Professor Ekel and I thought that he was only disoriented because he had been unconscious for too long. From the looks of it, his body was probably occupied by the great fiendish cultivator at that time.”
At the mention of this, Madam Brulee was filled with frustration.
If she had been more vigilant, would she have discovered earlier that Zhan Jiuxiao’s body had been possessed by the great fiendish cultivator?
Yu Huang and the others had already heard about this from Professor Ekel, but Yu Huang still wanted to understand more about it, so she asked, “Other than that, what other strange behaviors did he have?”
This happened a thousand years ago, so Madam Brulee couldn’t remember much about it.
After thinking about it carefully, Madam Brulee recalled, “In the past, Zhan Jiuxiao was allergic to flowers, so he always carried a jade pendant Spirit Tool that could prevent pollen from getting close. It’s not an exaggeration to say that even if he forgot to button his pants, he wouldn’t forget to carry his anti-allergy Spirit Tool. However, on a few dates later on, I realized that he forgot to wear the jade pendant. Every time I asked, he would find all kinds of excuses.”
“Also, he was originally very respectful to me. Even when we were intimate, we never crossed the line, but during that period of time, he always wanted to take things to the next step with me. Even when he kissed me, he couldn’t help but bite my skin and suck my blood.” After a pause, Madam Brulee tilted her head and looked at Jun Qing as she explained, “A thousand years ago, people weren’t as liberal as they are now. At that time, even cultivators who didn’t care about trifles usually wouldn’t take things to the next step before marriage.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang rubbed her nose awkwardly.
This was because she thought of what Jing Huang had done to Yu Aofeng. From the looks of it, Jing Huang was at the forefront of liberalism.
Nodding her head, Naris came to a conclusion and said, “From what Madam said, the changes in this person before and after the Demon Subduing War are indeed a little strange.”
“Yes.” Ye Qingyang continued, “It’s common for us cultivators to be injured and fall into a coma, but it’s uncommon for someone to have a completely different personality after waking up from a coma. In my opinion, Prime Emperor Jiuxiao was most likely possessed by the great fiendish cultivator at that time.”
Madam Brulee didn’t say anything.
At this moment, Jun Qing suddenly said, “The blood of a plant-type divine beast can soothe one’s demonic nature. If Grand Master Yu’s previous guess was true, he didn’t want to get close to you at all. He wanted to take the opportunity to absorb your blood and suppress the demonic nature in his body.”
“Perhaps.” Madam Brulee was very calm when she mentioned these things again.
She picked up the teacup made of pure gold and took a sip of the sweet fruit tea before continuing, “That year, I felt that he had changed so much. He no longer understood me nor was he as considerate as before. The night before graduation, he asked me out on a date beside a lake in the inner academy and said a lot of sweet nothings to me…”
Thinking of what happened that night, Madam Brulee couldn’t help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
Madam Brulee mocked herself. “At that time, I was still a young girl and had deep feelings for him, not to mention that I had his heart in my body. Therefore, that night, when I heard him say those sweet words, I was bewitched by him. I let down my guard and drank the glass of wine that he drugged.”
“The next day, during the graduation battle, my spiritual power leaked from my body. Because of this, I was almost killed by a Grand Master classmate. Zhan Jiuxiao took the initiative to openly challenge me.”
At the mention of that matter, Madam Brulee’s beautiful face was filled with coldness. “The moment he stood up, I realized that the man I loved deeply had actually changed. He was no longer the man who dug out his heart and give it to me. At the critical moment, I understood everything and saw through Zhan Jiuxiao’s true colors. Because I was heartbroken, I accidentally awakened the butterfly vine’s wild nature and almost killed Zhan Jiuxiao on the battle stage.”
“If Professor Ekel hadn’t stopped me in time, I would have killed Zhan Jiuxiao long ago.”
This was how Madam Brulee was.
When she loved someone deeply, she was willing to do anything for him.
However, once she discovered that she had been let down by him, she could kill him without batting an eye.
