[196] The best tool
At that time, Emerald was helping Pepe in the open kitchen, polishing the tiles to a shiny appearance, and half-kneeling on the ground, carefully searching for any pieces of plates that had fallen into the cracks.
Nanke, who was publicly declared his girlfriend, did not become arrogant because of this, but did more conscientious work like a maid such as cleaning the kitchen and cleaning the bathroom.
Although Qianxue is thin and unwilling to work, Qianxue's sister Xia Chi is not lazy, even if Jade is not Nanke's girlfriend, as long as she reminds Xia Chi, Xia Chi is likely to put down the Godzilla movie she is watching and help Jade do it together.
However, Jade still silently took over most of the work by herself, keeping the entire old mansion tidy, and many times Xia Chi wanted to help, and there was nothing left to do.
"Hey! What does it mean that you clean it all by yourself? Do you look down on me? You think you're better at cleaning rooms than I am, don't you!? ”
Xia Chi is very competitive and does not like to be surpassed by others in any aspect.
"No, no," Jade carefully chose her words, "I've been trained as a ninja for many years, and I've been a ninja for more than one lifetime, and daily cleaning is also part of my cultivation, and it can help me keep my mind down...... Of course, I can't clean up as fast as you, but this is my cultivation, so ......"
"Hahahaha!" The single-celled Xia Chi was easily convinced, she smiled brightly, and patted Jade's shoulder vigorously out of sight, making Jadeite shake.
"Tell me earlier! Since it's your cultivation, there's no way around it! But when you're not cultivating, you have to let me clean up! ”
In fact, Jade only said half of the words, cleaning the room will help to restrain her mind, but the reason why Jade is not worried about letting Xia Chi clean it. It's because Xia Chi cleans up like she eats. The wind swept the clouds. There is a miasma of black smoke, and many details are not cleaned thoroughly.
Jade has always thought that Xia Chi is more suitable for men's work, such as carrying gas canisters, and the arm strength of female men is not covered.
The word "girlfriend" does not mean an increase in status for Jadeite, but makes her more cautious and cautious, walking on thin ice, for fear of affecting the cohesion of the team.
"I once accidentally cut off the × head of the jadeite." Xia Chi once said to himself when eating snacks in Qianxue House, "I thought she would take revenge on me after becoming Mr. Ke's girlfriend." For example, let me cut × head or something, but she didn't seem to hold a grudge against me at all, it seems that the craftsmanship I put back is okay, at least Mr. Ke didn't find any asymmetry......"
Nanke felt that Jade was too reluctant to do so, and her boyfriend spent the night at another person's house last night, and she didn't even ask, and she didn't show any displeasure.
So Nan Ke had a disturbed conscience and confessed everything that happened last night to Jade, and even said that he was forced to marry by Sima Ling's father.
However, apart from a flash of sadness in her eyes, Jade did not react violently. She put the wiped tray back in place and said in a calm tone of resignation:
"Thank you for telling me this. Xiao Nan, in fact, it is a rational choice for you to marry Sima......"
"What!?" It was Nan Ke who shouted loudly, "If I marry Sima, where will I put you?" ”
Emerald stood deferentially across from Nanke, smiling very forcefully, but still forcing herself to smile.
"Xiao Nan, I am your ring spirit, a demon god and not a human being, the society of ordinary people, the society of the capable, and the [World Destroying Sect] among the demon gods, do not recognize the marriage of humans and demon gods. Even if we have children, we are half-demons, and we will be discriminated against because of our embarrassing status......"
Half-demons can't compare with pure-blooded demon gods in terms of physical solidity and magic inheritance, one of the reasons why Li Lan can have such domineering power is that her father is the first generation of demon gods, and the other, and more important, is because when Li Lan broke out of the demon god's egg, it coincided with the March of the demon world.
March is a once-in-a-century spectacle, and at this time, it broke out of the shell, allowing Li Lan to break through the limit of the half-demon, and the spiritual power is infinitely close to the original demon god, and it also has terrifying growth. Li Lan is a special case within a special case, and the other half-demons can't be compared to her at all.
"What happened to the half-demon?" Nanke said indignantly, "Won't the half-demon be given a hukou and not allowed to go to kindergarten?" U.S. courts have ruled that an orangutan has human rights! I don't believe our children will have no way to live! ”
"Children are only one aspect," Jade continued, "Xiao Nan, you are a human, and you are married to another human to meet everyone's expectations. If you have to marry me, the Inquisition of the Exorcist Organization can even sentence you to be burned at the stake for this alone, and the Destroyer can use this as a reason to attack you...... Even for your safety, I can't marry you......"
Speaking of this, Jade seemed to accept the reality, and the bitter smile that barely appeared on the corner of her mouth gradually became relieved.
"Xiao Nan, just like I said to Sima before, the two of you have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and you have a deep relationship, your union will be blessed by the society of ordinary people and the society of the capable, and the descendants will also have a legal identity...... I'm just a latecomer, and the reason why Sima spoke ill of me was entirely because I took you away from her. I know that Sima really likes you, and I can see that as long as she is willing to marry you, I will give up my position as a wife who does not belong to me in the first place......"
Jade's voice was surprisingly calm, no choking, no dissatisfaction, just a pair of dark green eyes looking at Nanke.
"I won't let Sima compensate me for anything, after Sima becomes your wife, I will appear in public as your ring spirit, your maid, and I will never embarrass her, even in private, she doesn't have to admit that I am your de facto concubine, I just want to stay by your side......"
"Jade, you ......"
Nanke's heart fluctuated, and she stepped forward with pity and hugged Emerald in her arms, and Emerald finally had a strong body to rely on, but after she lost her mind for a moment, she continued to say calmly:
"Xiao Nan, there is a reason why the marriage between the demon god and the human is not blessed, our lifespans are not the same, I am very afraid that you will die of old age in a few years, but I am still like this...... The Ringwrath cannot commit suicide, and if you want to live with your memories, you have to witness your soul suffer on the edges...... I—I just can't do it. I even thought about whether I should fight and die for you before the end of your life, so that the person who bears the memory will be replaced by you, how selfish I am......"
"Say no more! Jade, I won't allow you to die! I'm not going to let you die! This is the Emperor's Decree! The corners of Nank's eyes were a little moist, and at this moment he hugged the soft and elastic body of Jade, but there was not the slightest desire.
"Well, if you don't let me die, I won't die." Emerald responded to Nank's hug, but her movements and force were extremely light, as if she was afraid of breaking Nank.
"Xiao Nan, don't worry, I've noticed that you always lack a smile on your face these days, and if you continue like this, your lifespan will be reduced...... The spirit of the ring, which worries the emperor, is not a good spirit. I just want to be by your side for as long as possible, title, title, none of these matters, as long as it's good for you and makes you happy, I don't care. ”
"How can it not matter!" Nanke became excited, "Is it just because you have to devour my soul after I die, so you will be accommodating to me in every way while I am alive!?" ”
"Maybe," Jade had a gentle expression, gently patting the man who was slightly younger than herself, as if she was coaxing a baby to sleep, "I've been worrying about something lately, but it may not be that serious at all, as long as I discuss it with the other party, maybe it can be easily resolved......"
Nanker wanted to ask Jade what she was worried about, but Jade held up a finger to block Nanke's lips and prevent him from speaking.
"Xiao Nan, you don't have to worry about Sima's affairs anymore, as for my troubles...... If, if you find something unreasonable in your relationship with me, I hope you will believe that I will never lie to you, let alone betray you, and listen to my explanations, and do not be suspicious of me, and do not abandon me, and do not dislike me...... Leave the work that others are unwilling to do, and leave it to me to satisfy the wishes of others who are unwilling to fulfill your wishes, and let me be your most trusted personal person, the most handy tool, even after I am in tatters, and then I will be content.
