Huaxu Bai let out another mouthful of blood, then her slender body thudded loudly against the ground.
Ji Hao moved his fingers. From far away, a green light spot drifted out of a towering tree. It dropped and turned into a clear green liquid, merging into her body. Huaxu Bao trembled slightly as a strong life-force spread from her. Gasping deeply, she opened her eyes, lifted her head, and looked at Ji Hao in shock.
Squatting before her, Ji Hao held her face with his left hand, shaking her head widely as he began talking, ”Little girl, you are jealous of your sister, aren't you? You are jealous of her because all your families like her instead of you, but have you ever thought about why?”
With an equanimity that could hardly be displayed by little girls at her age, Huaxu Bai let Ji Hao hold her face, gently smiled at him and responded, ”You're Emperor Ji Hao, aren't you? Is being smart a fault? I'm simply much smarter than my sister, but clearly, people don't like smart girls, especially those arrogant young boys. They like silly girls...”
Knitting her eyebrows and pondering for a while, Huaxu Bai continued with a sigh, ”Silly but good-looking, that's the kind of girl they all like.”
Ji Hao glanced at Huaxu Qing, who lied aside unconsciously.
Did Huaxu Family young men like the silly good-looking Huaxu Qing only? Did they truly not like Huaxu Bai, who was smart and assertive, but wasn't willing to stay lower than men? This might be true. Coming to think about the old saying he heard back in his past life — 'Lack of talent in a woman is a virtue', that was a 'truth' summarized by numerous men who believed that they dominated the human society.
”So, you are jealous of your sister. Even though you sincerely don't think of her as a better person than you are, you are jealous of her. Therefore, without noticing, you chose...” Shaking Huaxu Bai's head, Ji Hao continued, ”…to follow the voice from your heart to attain the power which would allow you to surpass your sister by far? Do you think that was the right choice to make?”
Huaxu Bai gave Ji Hao a complicated glance, then frowned and pondered shortly. She honestly nodded and responded, ”It seems that you have done something to me, some magical thing that I cannot understand from my current standing point. You cast away that roaring voice in my heart, which taught me to do things. But, I memorized everything it taught me.”
While speaking, she nimbly flipped her fingers. As Huaxu Bai's ten fingers shaking like the flowing water, dark light spots flashed on her fingertips. Soon, the dark light flared up and generated a faint dark mist which then condensed into a foot-sized black lotus.
”Thai!” With her voice, she flipped her fingers again and released a black bolt of lighting from the lotus, which struck on a rock aside. The three-meters-wide rock was shattered, and quietly, a tens of meters radius pit was left on the ground.
This was the ancestral land of the Huaxu Family. In this area, after being nourished by the thunder power from the Thunder Lake year after year, the rocks had turned as strong as alloys, especially immune to thunder power. As a low-level Senior Magus, Huaxu Bai actually shattered a rock and sank the ground by casting a bolt lightning. Based on what she managed to do, the thunder magic she cast was seriously powerful.
”A devil thunder magic?” Ji Hao took in a deep breath and asked, ”Is this truly learned from Original Devil?”
”The Original Devil Scripture!” Huaxu Bai proudly lifted her head, looking at Ji Hao with a pair of ice-cold, bloodshot eyes. The blood-red light in her eyes had faded as the devil inside her was killed and resealed by Ji Hao, but her watery eyes had been turning colder and colder, with a firm determination that even made Ji Hao feel a little speechless.
At the moment, Huaxu Bai wasn't under the control of Original Devil. She made her own choice. She chose to step onto the path of Dao of devil, to willingly accept the Original Devil Scripture.
