Chapter 663: Well then, let's make a deal

Until the mimic brought Qi Yu back to the nest, she still had a look of eyes lacking luster.

No one knows what kind of storm her brain is undergoing right now, but the Mother Goddess can sense the chaotic, terrible thoughts in Qi Yu's mind.

"Why..."

Qi Yu muttered to herself; that scene just now completely shattered her heart, she couldn't quite tell, couldn't tell who it was exactly.

Last time, it was the same; Qi Yu had never believed that was Zhang Jie, and this time is likewise.

But she couldn't tell... she really couldn't tell!

The Mother Goddess gazed at the perfect vessel before her, a flash of heartache in her eyes.

They regarded her as a mother, but she had never fulfilled a mother's duty.

"Does it hurt a lot?"

She awakened Qi Yu's will; Qi Yu stared at the face identical to hers, stunned for a moment, then after a while she realized who the person before her was.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing much, I just feel some heartache for you."

Qi Yu felt, from her release of pheromones, a sensation she had never experienced before.

After a long time, she realized that the meaning of this pheromone was maternal love.

"......"

"What exactly do you want."

"How about it, have you witnessed the baseness of humans?"

The Mother Goddess answered off-topic; Qi Yu followed her line of thought for a moment, and suddenly the persecutions she had suffered appeared in her mind.

Suspicion, doubt, fear—these are the pheromones she most often feels.

Humans once, under the pretense of avenging her, pursued her and Zhang Jie relentlessly.

She had once had her body shattered by strangers, humans she had never met; though she had saved many, they never believed her.

Qi Yu recalled her ordeal and clenched her fists silently.

A tearing pain came from the base of her thigh, and the insect limbs behind her were also torn off.

"Having witnessed it, what can be done?"

The Mother Goddess covered her mouth and chuckled lightly; she occupied someone's unknown body, extended her antennae, and a memory entered Qi Yu's mind along with the pheromone.

That was a memory of being abused by humans; Qi Yu saw the entire process of that creature being attacked, but it hadn't started out that way.

She saw a familiar face—... Zhang Jie's father.

"This is...."

She withdrew the pheromone and simply gazed at Qi Yu.

"What do you think this is?"

"You mean to say, there are still people who haven't abused me?"

The Mother Goddess's visage twisted; it's because of this person that she suffers such torment!

If it weren't for him saying don't retaliate indiscriminately—kill anyone who attacks her! —how could she have become like this!

"But he really is the only human who has been kind to you."

Qi Yu's sudden words left the Mother Goddess speechless; she stared at Qi Yu's eyes, unable to rebut for a long time.

Perhaps it's impossible to rebut; Zhang Jie's dad back then truly was the only one who overcame fear and sincerely cared for her as a 'nursing dad'.

"Do you know? Sometimes I actually envy you quite a bit."

The Mother Goddess isn't an idiot either; she uses her phone, through which she learns about human society.

She knows how well Zhang Jie treats this little one; although he has disrupted her plans many times, she can actually understand that.

"Envious that you have a good Master."

"If I had grown up in that environment back then, everything would have been different, right?"

Qi Yu pressed her lips; even now she still doesn't believe Zhang Jie would ever lay a hand on her—not just disbelief, but absolute disbelief.

That breakdown was only temporary; her sanity had just plummeted off the charts.

"And then! Can you guarantee he will never side with humans against you!"

Qi Yu's answer this time had no hesitation.

"He won't!"

"......"
