It's getting darker.

Before the night completely came, Jiang Ruyue entered the thousand-story tower where the guards were on high alert and everyone in the mortal world talked about it.

Because the elevator in the tower was equipped with a manpower pulling device, Jiang Ruyue quickly rose to the top floor under the pull of dozens of mortal strong men.

Inside the observation deck.

Jiang Ruyue saw her mother, a woman sitting in front of the dresser, with long hair that reached the floor.

She looked quiet, her hand movements were not hurried, but meticulous, and every strand of her soft and long hair was neatly and neatly groomed.

Even when she heard footsteps and someone walked in, she didn't seem to notice it, and her face was as calm as ever.

Jiang Ruyue had a sour nose.

"Mother!"

She screamed, threw herself over, fell to her knees, lay her upper body on her knees, and began to cry.

The woman stopped her movements, put the jade comb on the table beside her, patted Jiang Ruyue's back with her hand, and said softly: "Child, my mother is living very well, and I am very happy that you are here, don't cry at every turn." ”

As soon as she said this, Jiang Ruyue cried even more.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. ”

The woman comforted her for a while before Jiang Ruyue walked out of her grief.

Wiping away her tears, she took out the food box she was carrying, sat on a chair, and sat on a small table, where the mother and daughter ate a few dishes, drank a few glasses of wine, talked about some daily topics, and stayed away from sadness for a while.

After eating the dishes, through the transparent wall, outside the observation deck, it was already dark.

It's as black as the "Devil's Lake" at the bottom of the mountain.

It can even be said to be darker.

Jiang Ruyue lit the candle she brought, and the white candlelight illuminated the radius.

However, the dark outside world suddenly became brighter!

Colorful light, blooming in the dark night.

The people of the mortal city set off fireworks one after another.

Fireworks not only dispelled the darkness, but even shone into the tower.

"This year's fireworks are so beautiful~"

There was an admiring voice in my ears, but it was my mother standing on the side of the stage, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Mother!"

Jiang Ruyue stomped her feet, looking annoyed, "Those mortals are celebrating the 'Demon Eradication Festival', you still say that fireworks are beautiful, this is the most disgusting festival in the world!"

Demon Eradication Festival, it is said that Zhang Shengren in order to eradicate the devil, on the day of the dark day with fireworks as the number, lead the demon into the tower, the consequences of the success of the demon suppression, in order to commemorate Zhang Shengren, but also to celebrate the eradication of the devil, every year on this day, the people of Dongyuanzhou will set off fireworks to celebrate the Demon Eradication Day.

But for Jiang Ruyue, this so-called "Demon Eradication Festival", the carnival of those foolish people, is completely based on her mother's pain.

She hates this holiday!

The woman didn't care, and said lightly: "As long as the world is peaceful and the people are happy, there should be a few more of them on this Demon Eradication Festival." "Although she is the 'demon' that was eliminated, it is also a good thing that the people of the world are so happy today, and if you think about it carefully.

"Mother!"

Jiang Ruyue shouted and said sharply: "Everyone in this world owes you something, why do they say that you are a demon?"

"They have never only seen how many bad things you have done, but they have never imagined what kind of suffering you have suffered; they always think that they are victims, but they forget that each of them is an abuser, and when you are weak and helpless, they have no choice but to abandon and have other plans, how can they take the initiative to help you?"

"Those selfish, despicable and shameless people are not qualified to call you a demon at all, and they are not worthy of keeping you here!"

"Sinners, demons, hypocrites, villains, they should be locked up here!"

"Sooner or later, I'm going to punish them!"

Jiang Ruyue's face was hideous, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.

"Enough, don't say it. ”

A warm embrace hugged her, two jade fingers were printed on her lips, and this gentle voice with calm power said: "Many things, you don't understand, it's not the fault of others, my mother is indeed to blame for the consequences." ”

"Don't resent anyone, don't forget the past, my mother has let go, completely let go, in my mother's heart, there is only you. ”

"As long as you have a good time, my mother is happy every day. ”

She patted her daughter's back with her hand, and her gentle words were full of comforting power.

"Mother~!"

Jiang Ruyue screamed, hugged her mother tightly, and cried even more.

While crying, he said: "Mother, sooner or later, one day, I must let you out and give you back your freedom!"

The woman just shook her head lightly and said in her heart: "Child, if you are well, I will be free."

The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other and said many words, until it was bright outside, and the people under the tower reminded them through the bell, and it was time to separate again.

Jiang Ruyue was reluctant to give up, and delayed the time again and again, because the next time we saw each other, it would be months later.

The woman urged again and again, telling her not to embarrass the tower guards, and Jiang Ruyue set off.

Seeing her daughter leave, the woman went back to the dresser and picked up the jade comb in the jewelry box.

……

"Click~"

Turning around and looking back, the door of the Demon Suppression Tower slowly closed.

It wasn't until there was not a single gap left that Jiang Ruyue turned around, clenched the fist in her sleeve, and secretly swore in her heart.

"Mother, no matter what the price is, I will save you!"

Rescue the mother.

It is Jiang Ruyue's heart, the biggest wish in the first place.

Indeed, from the time she was born to the time she was taken out of the Demon Suppression Tower by the Ancestor of Xuanluo, she stayed in the tower for a maximum of five years, and then saw her mother three times a year, and the total time spent together did not add up to six years...... But in this world, no one has as deep a mother and daughter.

Even in that tower, she was poor and monotonous, but in that mother, she experienced the greatest maternal love.

At first, when she was short of breast milk and was malnourished after drinking porridge, she cut her skin and fed it with blood.

Then babbling, teaching her to talk, play, tell her stories, and play with her every day.

When she was five years old, realizing that she could not leave her daughter in the tower forever, her mother bent her knees and knelt down for the mortal guards, asking to see the ancestor of Yangluo.

When the ancestor saw her at the age of five, he was very surprised, and when he heard his mother's plea, he was moved by compassion and took her out of the tower.

At that time, Jiang Ruyue cried and made a fuss, beating hard, refusing to leave her mother, her mother shed a lot of tears and talked to her a lot, she nodded and walked out of the tower.

That is, from that day on, Jiang Ruyue planted a seed in her heart:

Be sure to save your mother!

In addition, Jiang Ruyue has two wishes.

One is to take back everything that belongs to the mother and punish those who betray it!

The ...... to get back What are those things exactly?

To put it more generally, it is the entire Dongyuan continent.

However, it is said that she is already the master of the Xiaoyao Palace, the nominal co-master of the Nine Mountains, and has great authority, why does she still say that she wants to take back what belongs to her mother?

Jiang Ruyue sneered.

Indeed, she is the master of the Xiaoyao Palace, the supreme leader of Dongyuan Continent, but she is just a puppet set up by the nine heads of state, she does not have much core authority, less than one-tenth of the army is loyal to her, and the mortal world belongs to the cities under her control, but there are only about 100 of them, and in the entire Dongyuan Continent, the resources and strength she controls do not exceed 5%.

The rest is in the hands of the nine heads of state.

And she is difficult to intervene in, and many of her reforms can only be implemented smoothly if they are beneficial to the vast majority of people.

In addition, if she shows excessive ambition or an urge to worry the Nine Führers (e.g., by releasing her mother), she will receive stern warnings and threats.

For example, tell her true identity - if hundreds of millions of people know that she is the daughter of the big devil Jiang Ruonan, I am afraid that her prestige and fame will plummet.

So in the final analysis, the Nine Heads of State just want to use her, not really support her.

After all, with supreme authority, endless glory and wealth, few people will give it up easily and voluntarily.

So after taking back everything that belongs to the mother, the nine heads, nay, the nine traitors, will be punished according to them.

And one last wish: to destroy the kingdom of ten thousand vehicles!

Not bad.

Destroy the mighty kingdom of the West and conquer it once and for all!

Why did she have this wish?

Because of her father.

The father who betrayed his mother and failed his mother!

The deceitful man who has been praised as a "saint" by countless people!

A rhetorical, selfish villain!

He doesn't deserve to be her father at all!

Indeed, Jiang Ruyue also admitted in her heart that he had some ability and ability, but she believed that she would definitely surpass him!

In that regard, she will be greater than him!

She wants to prove that she is stronger, smarter, and more skillful.

So proven?

Of course, it can only be to destroy the Wancheng Kingdom, destroy the hard work he has built single-handedly, and trample his family under his feet!

At the same time, it was also a punishment for him—a punishment for abandoning his mother even if he died.

These three wishes are the ultimate goals of Jiang Ruyue's hard work and forbearance over the years.

In order to realize these wishes, she will not hesitate to exhaust her life's energy and pay a huge price, even if she is broken and suffers.
