Chapter 1410: Nine Demons and One Nightmare (Part 8)
But now he relented, and he felt he should seriously thank the Shu Family and the Ruan Family that raised Xiu Xi to adulthood.
Xiu Xi nodded and got out of the car.
Jiaojiao was carried down by him, her body moving, and only then did she snap out of her thoughts and realize that Duan Qianyang was waving at them. Such a handsome uncle, she couldn’t bear to let him down, and she immediately stretched out her small paw to wave.
Xiu Xi saw that she was still captivated by beauty at this moment, and recalled her amazed look when she first saw Duan Qianyang today. He pursed his lips and said, looking at Duan Qianyang who looked ten years younger in sportswear, "Don’t dress like this next time, it’s ugly."
"???" Duan Qianyang, who was just about to drive away.
Staring blankly at Xiu Xi, he wondered if his hearing was malfunctioning.
Xiu Xi saw he looked like he didn’t understand, so he seriously and gravely repeated once more, "Ugly, don’t dress like this."
"Meow? Meow." Ugly? I think it looks nice.
Jiaojiao asked suspiciously from his arms; she thought Duan Qianyang looked quite good like this, much more down-to-earth than wearing a suit, and much younger too.
"Ugly!" Xiu Xi emphasized.
"..." Duan Qianyang.
Even as Xiu Xi carried Jiaojiao away, he still couldn’t believe his ears and asked Duan Xin next to him: "What did you hear just now?"
"He said the way you’re dressed is ugly." Duan Xin repeated candidly.
"!!!" Duan Qianyang.
He had specially dressed like this to get closer to them and even bought it to play basketball together—only to receive such a comment?!
Someone like Xiu Xi clearly wouldn’t lie, let alone comment on others’ attire generally; how ugly must this outfit be for him to have to say it?
Duan Qianyang fell into a state of self-doubt, his good mood from before vanished completely.
After Xiu Xi carried Jiaojiao into the manor, he didn’t ask the Door Guard to take her in but rather slowly carried Jiaojiao inside, knowing she definitely had something to say.
Jiaojiao indeed had something to say.
The name Feng Nianian had pervaded her life for six years, and it could be said that all her misfortunes were because of her.
But before, she only knew a name, whereas now, truly seeing the person, just as Duan Xin said, this Feng Nianian really made people feel somewhat scared at just a glance.
She looked up and asked Xiu Xi, "Meow?" Brother Xi, can you tell what Feng Nianian is?
"She is a Nightmare." Xiu Xi replied, his expression colder and more serious than ever.
"Meow?" Nightmare? What is that?
Jiaojiao looked at him confused.
Xiu Xi whispered an explanation, "When a person dies in extreme anger, hatred, and fear, they will linger in resentment after death. Some with strong resentment can become a fierce ghost, while others can turn into an ’Evil Nightmare.’"
"The formation of Nightmares is very difficult. Nine demons versus one Nightmare, meaning there might be nine demons for every one Nightmare that forms, and the ferocity of nine demons doesn’t compare to that of one Nightmare."
"The reason Nightmares are hard to form is due to the harsh external conditions required for their formation; first, it must be a large-scale tragic death to ensure resentment accumulates and lingers. They cannot reincarnate, and carry memories seeking opportunities to seize others’ bodies, sometimes even unaware they have died."
"Conditions to form a Nightmare are met only in places struck by massacres or plagues." [The above explanation sourced from Baidu]
