Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Xixiang walked in front of Nangong Nayue with his long legs, but Nangong Nayue didn't say anything about it.

She did not feel any vigilance towards Saigo. It would be easy for this demon to kill her anyway, as he was her executioner.

After spending a few months with him, she could roughly see that although this demon had a bad personality, he was also quite gentle to some extent.

As long as you don't touch his bottom line and don't violate the contract, he won't do anything to you.

As soon as this thought appeared in Nangong Nayue's mind, she regretted it the next moment.

"Hey, that was the only big shrimp in my lunch box, and you just took it away without saying anything?"

"...Do demons also need to eat to replenish their nutrition?"

Nangong Nayue watched Xixiang reach out and take away the only shrimp in her lunch box. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and said sarcastically.

The corners of her mouth curled up, her smile was cold, and there was a hint of cruelty.

"I don't know whether demons need nutrition or not, but you, little Nayue, don't need nutrition. Anyway, no matter how much you eat, you won't grow taller, and eating is just a waste of food."

Nangong's crescent moon was itching again.

She now wished she could dig out the demon's heart to see if it was black, but she knew she couldn't do it.

"Besides, you won't need to eat soon. The ritual will be completed soon and you will fall into a deep sleep forever. It's a good thing to think about this. There will be one less person wasting food in the world."

Xixiang was still sarcastic towards Nangong Nayue, but this time his words hurt Nangong Nayue's heart.

Seeing Nangong Nayue was silent, Xixiang smiled maliciously and said, "...Becoming the manager of the 'prison barrier' is not your true wish and contract."

"…Why would you be so stupid as to lock yourself in and dream a dream from which you can never wake up."

"If it was humans who forced you, you are now a witch and my contractor, so why bother about what humans think?"

"…If they push you too far, use my power to brutally execute them!"

"In the face of aging and death, all living things are equal!"

Saigo's words are the true whispers of the devil.

Chapter 23 Because I fell in love with you!

Xixiang's words made Nangong Nayue quite interested.

But after hesitating for a moment, she calmed down and said, "...This is the contract between me and the artificial island management commune."

"...Since the contract has been signed, I will definitely complete it. Besides, I volunteered to become part of the 'Prison Barrier' spell."

"Seeing me abide by the contract like this, shouldn't you, as a devil, feel relieved? At least, even if it is a contract with a devil, I will not break it."

Xi Xiang sat next to Nangong Nayue. He sniffed the slightly immature milky scent of the girl, which also had a slightly mature body scent, and shrugged his shoulders and said:

"...I don't care whether you will break the contract or not. If you don't break the contract, then I will go with you according to the contract."

"If you break the contract, I will just chop off your head and then devour this world."

"...Watching the whole world wailing, watching all living beings tremble in fear and bewilderment at the sight of aging, to be honest, I am looking forward to such a scene even more."

"So, I hope you can break your contract with the devil, Xiao Nayue."

Xixiang said this with a smile, as if he was really encouraging Nangong Nayue to violate the contract.

Of course, what he said was all lies. For Saigo, it is best to maintain his current state.

As long as Nangong Nayue is still here and the contract between the two parties is still here, he can continuously use Nangong Nayue as an anchor to seize the nutrients of this world for his own growth.

This is also the reason why Saigo has been very quiet and rarely causes trouble since coming to this world.

If you can accomplish what you need for growth by doing nothing, why bother making trouble?

This is the "financial freedom" that Xixiang dreams of. If he can achieve his goal by just slacking off every day, who would be willing to work?

So he needed to use words to coax Nangong Nayue, making her feel that what he said was true, so that she would be more careful to maintain the agreement between the two parties.

"Humph, you are indeed a demon. If I could do it, I would really like to kill an unstable factor like you!"

Nangong Nayue said viciously, but it was just a fake attack. To Xixiang, it looked more like a cat's fangs and claws.

After a pause, Nangong Nayue continued: "...I will not forget the content of the contract with you demons."

"...Since the content of the contract is my wish, it is the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons."

"The signing of the 'Sanctuary Treaty' has greatly eased the conflict between humans and demons, but in the outside world, humans and demons are still hostile to each other."

"…There is only Genshin Island and this Demon Special Zone. Although the two races are still hostile to each other, humans can at least accept the demons."

"It's not easy to fulfill the contents of our contract. I have thought about it carefully and only the Demon Special Zone is suitable as a pilot. I will try to fulfill my wish here first."

"…This is also the reason why I agreed to become part of the 'prison barrier'. The actions of some demon terrorists will destroy the peace between the two sides of the demon special zone."

"I will feel more at ease only if they are locked in the prison barrier."

Listening to Nangong Nayue's words that seemed to be explaining to him, Xixiang nodded slowly and said, "...Well, your reason is quite reliable. It seems that you, Xiao Nayue, are not that kind of stubborn idiot."

"…but has a pretty smart little brain."

Said Saigo with a smile and stroked Nangong Nayue's straight black long hair with his hand.

"Don't touch my hair casually, don't treat me like a child, and don't call me Xiao Nayue!"

Nangong Nayue slapped Xixiang's hand away and glared at him angrily.

"I'm done eating!"

Nangong Nayue didn’t eat much, so she closed the lid of her lunch box, stood up and brushed the dust off her skirt.

Xi Xiang also stood up with Nangong Nayue. He stood behind the petite girl and asked with a smile, "Why don't you talk to your classmates? I know you are not really a loner."

Nangong Nayue said in a rather calm tone that was not suitable for her age: "...In the Demon Special Zone, although humans and demons can coexist peacefully, prejudices between them still exist."

"…For example, if a parent sees their child playing with a young demon, they will definitely warn him to stay away."

"I am a pure-blooded witch. From birth, it was decided that my soul would be dedicated to the devil. From the beginning, I was different from humans and knew that I was more like a demon."

"...If that's the case, it's better to stay away from her completely from the beginning rather than being even more sad and upset later."

Xi Xiang listened to Nangong Nayue's words quietly. He nodded slightly and said, "...Is this the famous saying of witches? It is precisely because you care about something that you have to stay away from it from the beginning."

Nangong Nayue's clear blue eyes narrowed slightly, "...Although I don't know who said this, I think it is quite philosophical."

"It's just what another witch said... But Xiao Nayue, although you are now complying with the requirements of the administrator of this artificial island and becoming a part of the 'prison barrier' ritual."

"...But I will let you voluntarily give up the prison barrier and rescue you from it."

Saigo suddenly said at this time.

"Why are you so confident, you devil? I'm a very stubborn person and I won't give in easily."

Nangong Nayue sneered, she actually knew her own character very well.

"After spending a few months together, I also understand your character. You are essentially kind-hearted. If one person and a hundred people are threatened with death at the same time, you will try your best to save both parties."

"...But you are also cold-blooded and rational enough. When you have to make a choice between giving up one person or giving up a hundred people, you will definitely choose to save the hundred people."

"Human life cannot be described by numbers. This is what most people think."

"...But you also know, Xiao Nayue, that for those at the top who hold power, human life is really just a number."

Saigo, who once climbed to a high position in the world of 'cyberpunk', is essentially a politician.

Therefore, he knows too much about human society and human beings, and his emphasis on and sympathy for life are only the thoughts of ordinary people.

As for those who are actually at the top decision-making level, they would definitely not have such an idea.

It's not that those people are cruel and heartless, but that their position prevents them from having emotions like sympathy, which would only create a greater crisis.

"I have to say, what you said makes sense, you devil."

Nangong Nayue did not completely deny Xixiang's words. She was not a hot-blooded goody-goody, but a witch who knew how to weigh the pros and cons and judge the situation.

"Why are you so persistent in getting me to give up the prison barrier?"

Nangong Nayue couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I want to give you freedom, because I have fallen in love with you, Xiao Nayue~~so I hope you are free, will not be sad, and will always be happy!"

Saigo said with a smile.

"cut!"

Nangong Nayue didn't believe a single word that the devil Xixiang said.

"By the way, your good friend, the secretary's witch, Xiandu Mu Aye, seems to be planning something recently."

Saigo suddenly spoke mysteriously.

"Don't think you can sow discord between me and Ye with just words!"

Nangong Nayue refuted.

"Sowing discord? You know in your heart whether I am trying to sow discord or not. You should know that all the information I got was obtained through you."

"...I am your observer and your protector, that's all!"

Xixiang's words made Nangong Nayue bite her lip, because she knew that Xixiang was right, Xiandu Mu Aye was really planning something.

"I hope you won't make it difficult for me, Aye."

She thought worriedly.

……

“Hua Hua——————”

Warm water drifted from the shower head, and Nangong Nayue took a shower naked.

She tried hard to suppress her inner shyness and not pay attention to the gaze of Saigo who was standing behind her and was also in the bathroom.

Chapter 24: Nangong Nayue, who has given up everything

Nangong Nayue closed her eyes and raised her head, letting the warm water from the shower head fall down.

The warm water dripped down her black hair and onto her smooth back, and the witch enjoyed the rare relaxation.

She is petite and looks like a little girl, but her cold temperament and mature behavior make her look a little less childish.

Nangong Nayue's skin was flawless, without any blemishes or hair.

Although the slender curves of her body lack femininity, her doll-like delicate face and petite figure have another kind of cuteness.

Nangong Nayue tried hard not to pay attention to the gaze behind her.

However, no matter how wildly she imagined it, she couldn't really pretend that gaze didn't exist.

I could only try my best to keep a straight face and not show any emotion, so as to avoid being laughed at by that devil again.

She still remembered the embarrassment she felt when she took her first bath. That devil laughed at her fiercely for the whole night. Since then, Nangong Nayue tried her best to have no expression to numb her nerves.

Compared to bathing, the shame associated with going to the bathroom is actually stronger.

The strange feeling of having all her secrets exposed to others made Nangong Nayue even wonder if her spirit would collapse.

She has a strong personality, but it is precisely because of this that Nangong Nayue cares more about her self-esteem than others.

So Nangong Nayue could only comfort herself that the one hidden in her shadow was just a demon. Even though it appeared in human form, it had nothing to do with humans.

Even if thinking this way is a bit self-deceptive, it is better than doing nothing.

After not feeling comfortable going to the bathroom for the first time, Nangong Nayue felt like giving up everything.

Girls naturally like to be clean, and Nangong Nayue couldn't stand not taking a shower for just a few days.

When you consider that you don’t even have privacy when going to the bathroom, why bother taking a shower?

It was with this thought in mind that Nangong Nayue spent several months which she considered to be very scary.

Sometimes Nangong Nayue was thinking, why not quickly complete the last part of the 'prison barrier' and fall into a deep sleep completely.

At the very least, by doing this, she can use magic to create a real doll to walk around in her place.

As a polymer of magic power, she no longer needs to go to the bathroom or take a shower.

The only regret is that when she moves as a puppet, her senses such as taste will be greatly degraded.

This will make Nangong Nayue lose a lot of the joy of being a human being.
