"You brat! You're not serious!"
Lin Ao looked at the hung up phone with a disgusted tone, while Xiao Jiu looked at Lin Ao weirdly.
Xiao Jiu is muttering in his heart: Why do you seem to be quite happy?
"Xiao Jiu, let's go. We'll go back first. We'll wait for news about them tomorrow. I hope she will be with the Black Ferry Family clan soon. Go back and ask her."
Lin Ao stretched out. With Heavenly Mandate's help, Long Aotian shouldn't have any major problems.
And Sasaki Nozomi and the others have already started to go to the Black Ferry Family clan. Everyone is busy, so why do they feel that they are the most idle at the same time?
Lin Ao shook his head, thinking that he still needed to find something to do, so he and Xiao Jiu returned to the Manor.
"Master, eat, take a bath, or..."
Lisa stood aside and respectfully offered Lin Ao his meticulous and attentive service.
"Ahem, Xiao Jiu... are you hungry?"
Lin Ao looked at Xiao Jiu with some embarrassment. Xiao Jiu rolled his eyes at Lin Ao and sat on the sofa minding his own business.
Lisa completely ignored Xiao Jiu. She did what she should do and said what she should say. Lin Ao was everything in her heart.
"Then... let's make dinner first, thank you, Lisa."
Lin Ao Of course I chose the first one, let's wait until nightfall to discuss the other options.
"This is what I should do~Master~"
Lisa bowed respectfully and went down to make arrangements.
"Lin Ao, it seems like your life was really exciting when I wasn't around."
Xiao Jiu looked at the direction Lisa was leaving and had to say that she would be moved by this kind of meticulous service.
"Ahem, no, it's not like you don't know about the previous timeline. Now that I'm free, why don't I live a more relaxed life?"
Lin Ao lay lazily on the sofa, enjoying the comfort. All the past experiences were still vivid in his mind. Xiao Jiu stared at Lin Ao, her eyes showing an indescribable complex emotion.
"When I looked at you, I never imagined that this day would come to pass."
Xiao Jiu spoke slowly, recalling the previous events in his mind.
"You and I can actually sit face to face and chat together, and even... hehe~"
Xiao Jiu smiled slightly, as if he remembered some happy things.
"At that time, was I indifferent and callous, or was I already accustomed to that kind of life trajectory? I always thought that things should develop step by step, and you were destined to be killed by them."
Then Xiao Jiu's tone changed with his thoughts.
"And I must obey the will of the ontology without reservation. I have never thought about what choices and problems I will face if I can have freedom."
Xiao Jiu looked out the window, the sun was setting, and the afterglow shone through the window in the house. The golden light reflected on her face.
"Today, I feel the change of time, it has become meaningful, I feel the sunrise and sunset, and I feel the change of mood."
Xiao Jiu smiled slightly again and looked at Lin Ao.
"Lin Ao, I did hate you and Heavenly Mandate at the beginning, but looking back, I realize that my hatred for you just comes from fear."
Lin Ao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jiu, afraid? Afraid that Heavenly Mandate and I would kill her?
"What? You think I'm still worried that you and Heavenly Mandate will kill me? That's not true~"
Xiao Jiu smiled. She changed into a comfortable position, folded her slender legs, and hugged them gently with both hands.
"What I am really afraid of is the change itself. I am afraid that you will disrupt my original life trajectory. I am worried that I will be addicted to this kind of change and be unable to extricate myself. Because I know that once I fall into it, I will never be able to go back to the past. And the facts have proved that my hunch is not wrong. At this moment, I am extremely intoxicated with my current self and this kind of life."
Xiao Jiu narrowed his eyes, with a look of satisfaction and joy on his face.
When she met Lin Ao at the shrine, Lin Ao's words had already planted a seed in her heart.
In other words, in the case of Lin Ao, it was just a trigger. In fact, she already had an idea deep in her heart to change the status quo.
"Xiao Jiu, why does your body allow you to have independent will and consciousness?"
Lin Ao looked at Xiao Jiu and asked the biggest question in his heart. Doesn't he know that it is very dangerous to let the clone have will and consciousness?
It would be better to create a mode and let the clones execute the program according to it, which greatly reduces the risk of rebellion.
Today's Xiao Jiu is a living example.
"Haha, it was too late. He couldn't think that much at that time. Otherwise, do you think Heavenly Mandate and you can be like this?"
Xiao Jiu tilted his head and looked at Lin Ao, then spoke calmly.
"It's too late? Why is it too late?"
Lin Ao looked at Xiao Jiu in confusion.
"The war between Destiny and Him happened a long, long time ago. My body was actually severely damaged at that time. He had to hurry up to recover and absorb the scattered Destiny energy. And the rules were set by Him in a hurry, so so many times, you were brutally... killed by them..."
Xiao Jiu stared at Lin Ao, with deep sympathy in his eyes.
She knew very well that every time Lin Ao appeared on the scene in the past, some mindless plots would start, and soon he would be easily defeated and wiped out, and then a new cycle would begin.
"At that time, I usually just kept watching, because there was no need to use Fate Red Thread, you just... I was tired of watching that kind of scene, and even became numb. There are all kinds of bizarre ways of death..."
Xiao Jiu's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Lin Ao's heart, making the corners of his mouth twitch.
Lin Ao couldn't help but think back to those unreasonable deaths in the past.
Recall those simple and crude plots, and then end the reincarnation differently.
The ruthless massacres came like a tide again and again, making people feel tired and angry.
Lin Ao The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The anger in his heart burned more and more fiercely, and his eyes seemed to spurt out blazing flames.
If it weren't for Heavenly Mandate's intervention, I'm afraid that I would have fallen into countless death reincarnations at this moment and could not extricate myself.
Lin Ao raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu looked at Lin Ao in confusion.
"What... what?..."
Xiao Jiu saw a hint of danger in Lin Ao's eyes.
"Haha, if you feel depressed and can't hit the main body, then it would be a good idea to hit the clone~"
Lin Ao smiled evilly, and Xiao Jiu was trembling after hearing his words.
"Ahem... well... I feel like there are still some things I forgot to deal with."
Xiao Jiu stood up with bare feet and wanted to run away without even having time to put on his shoes.
"Haha, really? Stand still for me~"
Lin Ao squinted, and now the effect of Soul Brand was fully reflected.
"Lin Ao! You are abusing your rights, you are retaliating!"
Xiao Jiu shouted anxiously.
Lisa came out with the dining cart, but found that there was no one outside, Lin Ao and Xiao Jiu were missing.
"Where's the master?"
