After the matter in Chengyao Tower was resolved, Wen Yuan felt that it was time for him to take them back to Wanmoyuan.
But before she left, she still cared about the places where she lived when she was still a human...
Wen Yuan suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
She didn't know what happened after that... She only knew that when she woke up again, she was already in another world.
What caught the eye were flowers flying all over the sky. There was only one huge cherry blossom tree on the island in the middle of the lake, but the petals did not fall from it.
Wen Yuan woke up from under the tree and saw a woman with long hair standing not far away.
"Who are you? Do you know where I am?" Wen Yuan stood up, patted the fallen flowers on his body and walked towards the woman.
But when the woman turned around, Wen Yuan saw a face that was almost the same as his own, as if looking in a mirror.
"you……"
The woman walked to sit under the tree, patted the seat next to her, and said, "My child, come and sit down. Mother wants to talk to you."
Wen Yuan obediently walked over and sat next to the woman. She stared blankly at her mother's face in trance.
"Are you curious how your mother got here?"
Ignoring Wen Yuan's expression, she said to herself, "This is your Seven Emotions Tree. Your mother has been staying here since your ability awakened."
Wen Yuan thought for a while and realized that he had seen the Seven Emotions Tree on a tree. It said that everyone would have a tree in their mind that reflected their seven emotions and six desires. The richer the emotions, the more prosperous the Seven Emotions Tree would be.
On the contrary, if it is a person who has cut off the seven emotions and six desires, the seven emotions tree will be in a withered state.
Wen Yuan naturally looked at her mother blankly, not knowing what to say, "You can ask whatever you want."
As if she could see what Wen Yuan was thinking, the woman said, "I know you must be full of doubts now. It doesn't matter, I'm always here."
But when she reacted, Wen Yuan just asked her a little coldly, "Why do you appear in my state of mind?"
Seeing her daughter like this, the goddess was a little sad, "I thought you would cry with joy when you saw me."
Of course she was happy, but she had very few memories of her biological mother, how she cried with joy.
Wen Yuan laughed at himself and left her side, "After all, I am already thirty years old. How could I shed tears for someone I have never met before?"
That memory is too far away... Wen Yuan has not been able to get over the fact that she has a biological father and mother until today.
The goddess was a little disappointed, but she understood why her daughter became like this. She didn't say a word and disappeared into Wen Yuan's state of mind.
He thought he would be able to go out after she left, but who knew that Wen Yuan showed no signs of leaving at all.
She didn't know how much time had passed here. She had no concept of time in her mind and could only judge by herself.
After an unknown amount of time, the goddess returned to Wen Yuan's state of mind again. This time her attitude was much more humble, and she could even feel that she was trying to please her daughter.
"Ayuan, can we talk?"
"certainly."
Wen Yuan was bored by himself anyway, so he just had someone to chat with.
Seeing that her attitude was very good today, the goddess breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you want to know something about me?"
"To be honest, I don't really think about it, but you are my biological mother after all, and there is no harm in getting to know you better. Just tell me and I will listen."
The goddess who didn't expect Wen Yuan to answer like this was stunned for a moment. She quickly realized what she had been thinking and said all the things she had been thinking about for a long time.
"Actually... we have no choice. If we were not hunted down by the gods, I would not give up on you... A Yuan... can you understand your father and I's painstaking efforts?"
In fact, Wen Yuan thought a lot during the time when she couldn't leave. She kept searching for memories of her father in her mind.
But among those memories, there are too few memories about the love and happiness between him and his mother...
Wen Yuan could feel from her limited memories that her father was a passionate person, but her mother... was too blurry, as if covered with a layer of slightly translucent cloth, making it difficult for her to see what was inside.
The goddess knew in her heart that she owed Wen Yuan a lot. She didn't want to explain anything to herself, she just hoped that Wen Yuan could understand her.
"I know everything you said, why don't you tell me something I don't know."
I don't know... the goddess's heart trembled slightly, "That's all..."
Just what? Wen Yuan looked at her confused, "What? You're not going to say anything?"
"Well... a lot of things don't make sense. The state of mind you came to is inevitable. Your inner demons have trapped you here. Until you completely eliminate the inner demons, you are a child who cannot get out."
After saying these words, she disappeared again, leaving Wen Yuan alone, "Inner demon, what kind of inner demon can I have?"
At this time, Wen Yuan had not realized that not only did she have inner demons, but these inner demons were always with her and never disappeared for a moment.
I don’t know how long it took, but the weather in my mind suddenly changed. It was originally a clear sky, but now there are dark clouds and strong winds. It is about to blow the Seven Emotions Tree on the island in the center of the lake. Wen Yuan uses magic to protect it. it.
"It's weird...how can there be such a strong wind."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man's rough voice came from the clouds, "Wen Yuan, do you recognize me?"
Wen Yuan recalled it, confirmed that he had never heard this voice before and immediately denied it, "Who are you?! How can you be in my state of mind!"
"I am your biggest fear. If you think about it carefully, who am I? Where do I come from...why do I exist in your mind."
His words gave Wen Yuan a buffering time. She suddenly remembered what her biological mother had said and asked suspiciously: "Are you my inner demon?"
"Inner demon? This name is too unpleasant. I would like you to call me... fear."
Fear... Wen Yuan shouted to the sky: "Stop hiding, let me see your true face!"
The inner demons came from the sky amidst her shouts. Wen Yuan never expected that her inner demons would turn out to be a squirming mass of flesh with countless bugs entangled together. "Ugh——"
Her reaction angered the inner demon, "The leader of the demon clan, did he vomit like this after seeing my true body? I'm afraid the kids who throw stones on the roadside are braver than you."
"Inner demons...I never knew I had inner demons."
"Of course you don't know. Many people don't know what they are really afraid of, but your heart knows it, so I appear in your mind."
"Since you know what I'm afraid of, why not tell me?"
The inner demon suddenly laughed, "You actually asked me what you are afraid of? I have never seen a woman as stupid as you."
"It sounds like you have seen many women, but you are just a product of my fear. Whatever you have seen, you have seen me."
Wen Yuan's words made the inner demon angry all of a sudden. It shuttled through the clouds and turned Wen Yuan's mood upside down.
It wasn't until Wen Yuan tried to control it with her own magic, but it was useless, that she realized the seriousness of the matter, "Why...why...why I...why can't I use magic!" "
This was the deepest fear in her heart. What Wen Yuan was most afraid of was losing her demonic power and returning to the days of being humiliated. But she hasn't figured it out yet.
"It's useless, it's useless... Your demonic power is gone, and you are about to return to the days of being a useless person, being scorned by people who are inferior to you in everything, and being treated as something to talk about after dinner."
Wen Yuan now is no different than before. He will not be easily provoked by such words, "Oh, is this all your means? It's ridiculous that you want to make me surrender in this way. Let me tell you, your plan has failed." ”
"Really? Are you willing to become a waste again after becoming stronger? Can you really accept this huge gap? Wen Yuan, you are a smart person, but smart people often suffer. Do you know why? Want to Much more..."
Wen Yuan only thought that the inner demon was just farting, "I won't listen to your nonsense! You must have used some method to prevent me from performing magic!"
She was smart... The inner demon had no choice but to show the scene of Wen Yuan being bullied in the past in front of her, "Look, the little Wen Yuan was betrayed by his good friends and hated by those close to him just because he had no spiritual roots. ... Even your brothers have actually talked about you privately."
In the picture are two brothers when they were young. Wen Yuan actually heard their discussion that day, but she did not dare to come forward, "You... I don't listen, and I don't look. Those things are in the past. I am the same as before." It’s different! I’m not useless now!”
"But you are what you are today by inheriting the abilities your parents left you. That is not the result of your hard work at all. To put it bluntly, you are just a useless person who relied on your parents to become the commander of Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss step by step. Without a good pair of parents, you are nothing if you are still being scorned by others!"
The inner demon's words gave Wen Yuan a huge impact. Yes, if she didn't have the power of her father and mother in her body, then what would she be now...
She covered her head with a splitting headache, "No, my spiritual roots are sealed. I have always had spiritual roots, so without them... I am also a person who can cultivate... You can't even think of disturbing me. "
I have to admit that Wen Yuan has grown up now. If it were before, she would have cried in her arms, but now she has learned to take on these things by herself, and the goddess hiding aside is very pleased.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do against her, the inner demon resorted to the last resort and transformed into the person Wen Yuan once hated the most.
In the past, Wen Yuan had a good friend, but when the other party found out that Wen Yuan had no spiritual roots, he and others bullied Wen Yuan. Today, the inner demon will reappear.
After it transformed into a little girl, it whipped Wen Yuan as hard as before, "I have been your little follower for so long, and now we all know that the apple of King Dingnan's eye is actually a person who cannot practice. It is really sad. Ah, why don’t you just be my dog from now on? This way I can protect you from being bullied, right? You’re a waste!”
It turns out... I have never had friends... Wen Yuan was dragged back to painful memories and struggled.
