It's getting darker.

Before the night came completely, Jiang Ruyue entered the thousand-story tower where the guards were on high alert and everyone in the world was talking about it.

Because the elevator in the tower was equipped with a human pulling device, Jiang Ruyue quickly rose to the top floor under the pull of dozens of mortal men.

Inside the sightseeing deck.

Jiang Ruyue saw her mother - a woman sitting in front of the dressing table with floor-length hair.

She had a calm look on her face, and her hand movements were neither hasty nor slow, but meticulous. She took care of every strand of her long, silky hair neatly.

Even when she heard footsteps and someone walked in, she didn't seem to notice it, her face remained calm.

Jiang Ruyue felt a sore nose.

"Mother!"

She screamed, rushed over, knelt on the ground, put her upper body on her knees, and started sobbing.

The woman stopped her movements, put the jade comb on the table beside her, patted Jiang Ruyue's back with her hand, and said softly: "My child, mother is living well, and I am very happy that you are here. Don't worry." I cry at every turn.”

When she said this, Jiang Ruyue cried even harder.

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

The woman comforted her for a while, and then Jiang Ruyue came out of her sadness.

Wiping her tears, she took out the food box she had brought with her and sat on a chair at a small table. The mother and daughter ate a few dishes, drank a few glasses of wine, and talked about some daily topics. A brief break from sadness.

After finishing the dishes, through the light-transmitting wall, it was already dark outside the observation deck.

It was as black as the "sea of ​​devil's saliva" at the foot of the mountain.

It can even be said to be darker.

Jiang Ruyue lit the candle she brought, and the bright white candlelight illuminated an area of ​​one foot.

However, the dark outside world suddenly became bright!

Colorful lights bloom in the dark night.

There was also a "bang, bang, bang" explosion.

People in the mortal city set off fireworks one after another.

The fireworks not only dispersed the darkness, but even illuminated the tower.

“This year’s fireworks are so beautiful~”

There was a voice of admiration in my ears, but it was my mother standing by the stage, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mother!"

Jiang Ruyue stamped her feet, with an annoyed look on her face, "Those mortals are celebrating the 'Demon Slayer Festival', and you still say the fireworks are beautiful? This is the most disgusting festival in the world!"

On the Demon Slayer Festival, it is said that in order to eradicate the demons, Saint Zhang used fireworks as a sign on the day of darkness to lure the demons into the tower, and then succeeded in suppressing the demons. In order to commemorate Saint Zhang and celebrate the eradication of the demons, this festival is celebrated every year. Every day, the people of Dongyuanzhou will set off fireworks to celebrate the Demon Slayer Festival.

But for Jiang Ruyue, this so-called "Demon Slayer Day" and the carnival of those ignorant people were completely based on her mother's pain.

She hates this holiday!

The woman didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "As long as the world is peaceful and everyone is happy, there should be more demon-killing festivals." Although she was the 'demon' that was eliminated, the people in the world are so happy today. If you think about it carefully, it is also a good thing.

"mother!"

Jiang Ruyue yelled and said sternly: "Everyone in this world owes you, why do they call you a devil?"

"They only see how many bad things you have done, but never imagine what kind of suffering you have suffered; they always think that they are victims, but forget that each of them is a perpetrator. When you are weak and helpless, , apart from abandoning you and having other agendas, have they ever taken the initiative to lend a helping hand to you?"

"Those selfish, despicable and shameless people have no right to call you a devil, and they don't deserve to be locked up here!"

"Sinners, traitors, hypocrites, villains, they are the ones who should be locked up here!"

"Sooner or later, I will make them punished!"

Jiang Ruyue's face was ferocious, and she became more and more excited as she spoke.

"That's enough, stop talking."

A warm embrace encircled her, and two jade fingers were printed on her lips. This gentle voice with calm power said: "You don't understand many things. It's not other people's fault. Mother has such consequences. It's true." It’s your own fault.”

"Don't resent anyone, don't dwell on the past. Mom has let it go, completely let it go. In my heart, you are the only one."

"As long as you live a happy life, Mom will be happy every day."

She patted her daughter's back with her hand, and her gentle words were full of comforting power.

"Mother~!"

Jiang Ruyue screamed, hugged her mother tightly, and cried even harder.

While crying, she said: "Mom, sooner or later, I will let you out and give you your freedom!"

The woman just shook her head slightly and said in her heart: My child, if you are well, I will be free.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and talked a lot until it was bright outside and the people under the tower reminded them through the bell that it was time to part ways again.

Jiang Ruyue was reluctant to leave, and kept delaying the time, because the next time she saw him again would be several months later.

The woman repeatedly urged her not to embarrass the tower guards, and Jiang Ruyue set off.

Seeing her daughter leave, the woman sat back at the dressing table and picked up the jade comb in the jewelry box.

…

"Kakaka~"

Turning around and looking back, the door of the Demon Suppression Tower slowly closed.

Until there was no gap left, Jiang Ruyue turned around, clenched the fists in her sleeves, and swore secretly in her heart.

"Mom, no matter what the price, I will save you!"

Save the mother.

This is the first wish in Jiang Ruyue's heart.

Indeed, from the time she was born to the time she was taken out of the Demon Suppression Tower by Ancestor Xunluo, she stayed in the tower for a maximum of five years. After that, she met her mother three times a year, and the total time they spent together did not exceed six years... ...But in this world, no one has as deep a relationship as their mother and daughter.

Even though the materials in that tower were poor and boring, from that mother, she experienced the greatest maternal love in the world.

At first, there was not enough breast milk, and she was malnourished due to porridge, so she cut her skin and fed her with blood.

Then he would teach her how to speak, read, tell her stories, and play with her every day.

When she was five years old, she realized that she could not keep her daughter in the tower forever, that she would not be able to practice, and that she would live for a hundred years at most like an ordinary person. Her mother actually bent her knees, knelt down in front of the mortal guards, and asked to see Patriarch Xunluo.

Ancestor Xunluo was very surprised when he saw her at the age of five. Hearing her mother's plea, he felt compassion and took her out of the tower.

When they left, Jiang Ruyue cried and made a fuss, beat her hard, and refused to leave her mother. Her mother shed a lot of tears and talked to her a lot, and then she nodded and walked out of the tower.

From that day on, a seed was planted in Jiang Ruyue's heart:

We must rescue mother!

In addition, Jiang Ruyue also has two wishes.

One is to take back everything that belongs to the mother and punish those who betrayed the mother!

What exactly does she want to get back?

To put it more generally, it means the entire Dong Yuan Continent.

However, she is already the lord of Xiaoyao Palace, the nominal co-lord of the Nine Mountains, and has great authority. Why does she still say that she wants to get back what belongs to her mother?

Jiang Ruyue sneered.

Indeed, she is the mistress of Xiaoyao Palace and the supreme leader of Dongyuan Continent, but she is just a puppet set up by the nine heads of state. She does not hold much core authority, and less than one-tenth of the army is loyal to her. The mortal world belongs to There are only about 100 cities under her control, and the resources and power she controls in the entire Dongyuan Continent do not exceed 5%.

The rest is all in the hands of the nine heads of state.

And it is difficult for her to intervene. Many of her reforms can only be implemented smoothly if they are beneficial to the vast majority of people.

In addition, if she shows excessive ambition or impulses that worry the nine heads of state (such as freeing her mother), she will be severely warned and threatened.

For example, if her true identity is revealed - if hundreds of millions of people know that she is the daughter of the big devil Jiang Ruonan, her prestige and reputation will suddenly plummet.

So in the end, the nine heads of state just wanted to use her, not really support her.

After all, few people would give up the supreme power and endless glory and wealth easily and voluntarily.

So after getting back everything that belongs to my mother, the nine heads of state, no, the nine traitors, will all get their punishment.

There is one last wish: to destroy Wancheng Kingdom!

good.

Destroy that powerful country in the west and completely conquer it!

Why does she have this wish?

Because of her father.

The father who betrayed his mother and failed her!

That person who deceives the world and steals fame by countless people as a "saint"!

A smooth-talking, selfish villain!

He doesn't deserve to be her father at all!

Indeed, Jiang Ruyue also admitted in her heart that he had some abilities and abilities, but she believed that she would definitely surpass him!

In every aspect, she will be greater than him!

She wants to prove that she is more capable, smarter and smarter.

How to prove it?

Of course, the only option is to destroy the Wancheng Kingdom, destroy the hard work he built, and trample his family under his feet!

At the same time, this is also his punishment - the punishment for abandoning his mother even if he dies.

These three wishes are the ultimate goals that Jiang Ruyue has worked hard and endured for decades.

In order to realize these wishes, she would spend her whole life and pay a huge price, even if she was broken into pieces and went through hardships and hardships.
