Chapter 63
But before he could, Ye Yiyi, who had previously been pinned to the wall by a peachwood sword, suddenly stopped struggling.
She calmed down.
And the dense demonic energy around her was being rapidly absorbed into the Qianyuan Mirror in Zhang Chen’s hand!
Even so, Zhang Chen didn’t let go.
Hmmm. Nice texture. Soft. Smooth. Not bad.
“How can this be?! It works?!”
Wei Bai exclaimed.
His two companions were dumbfounded.
Chief Wei took a deep breath.
What this scene represented, no one understood it better than him.
It had been 21 years. Since that blood moon night at the turn of the millennium
The world began to suffer from supernatural resurgences.
Demons, ghosts, and monsters from myths and movies all became real.
The Demon-Slaying Division had been trying to find a cure ever since—But to no avail.
Ye Fan was stunned.
His anger vanished completely.
Not because he forgave Zhang Chen, but because he saw a glimmer of hope for his sister to become human again!
“She’s a good girl. Too bad she has such a useless brother. What a pity.”
Zhang Chen’s expression remained calm, but his words nearly drove Ye Fan insane.
Yet Ye Fan couldn’t refute it.
Ye Yiyi’s tragic fate. It was indeed his fault.
“Zhang Chen! Don’t think I’ll thank you just because you saved my sister!”
Child of Destiny—never admits he’s wrong.
Zhang Chen couldn’t care less.
But Chief Wei and the others were getting annoyed.
“If it weren’t for Brother Zhang’s good temper, this ungrateful brat would deserve to watch his sister die!”
You help him save his sister, and he still talks back?
He thinks the whole world revolves around him?
Zhang Chen didn’t even need to respond.
Anyone unaffected by the protagonist’s brain-dead halo could see who was right.
Did Ye Fan not realize Zhang Chen just did him an enormous favor?
He did.
But his pride refused to let him bow his head, especially not to Zhang Chen.
Still, as he saw his sister’s condition improving, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
Then disaster struck.
PFFT!
A small, snow-white hand pierced straight through Ye Fan’s chest.
It happened so fast. Or rather, everyone’s attention was fixated on Ye Yiyi and Zhang Chen.
Demonic corruption being reversed?
Someone turning back into a human?
Unheard of!
Even Ye Fan was distracted.
So no one noticed in the corner of the ward, beneath a flipped hospital bed a forgotten, pitiful figure:
The Lin Family’s eldest daughter.
Zhang Chen’s proud and aloof fiancée.
Ye Fan’s secret crush.
The belle of Jiangdong University.
Lin Xi.
Without a sound, she had changed.
Only Zhang Chen noticed.
And then he had an amusing thought.
“Wha… What…?”
Ye Fan’s heart had just swelled with hope when a wave of searing pain tore through his chest.
Looking down, he saw that slender white hand protruding from his chest cavity.
Bright red blood contrasted sharply with her pale fingers.
It was too sudden.
Even Chief Wei and the others hadn’t registered what had happened.
All they saw was that Ye Fan had been stabbed through.
Looking closely! Someone stood behind him.
“Lin… Lin Xi?!”
Ye Fan turned his head, eyes bulging.
He couldn’t believe it.
Who could’ve imagined?
The hand that pierced his body belonged to Lin Xi.
Wasn’t she that frail, dying heiress moments ago?
“Why…?”
Ye Fan tried to speak, but blood spilled uncontrollably from his lips.
After all, being pierced through the chest, no one, not even a Child of Destiny, could endure that without reaction.
No matter how ‘unkillable’ they claim to be, they’re still flesh and blood, aren’t they?
Why?
Zhang Chen nearly burst out laughing.
You’re asking why?
Of course it’s love—psh, no! It’s hate!
Zhang Chen’s smile widened.
Everyone now saw Lin Xi’s appearance.
Hair disheveled, complexion pale, eyes lifeless like a walking corpse.
Still beautiful but no longer vibrant. Instead, she exuded death and malice.
Any fool could see something was wrong.
“Not good!”
Wei Bai shouted.
“Miss Lin has undergone corpse transformation due to demonic corruption!”
As veterans of fighting demons, the Demon-Slaying Division knew exactly what that meant.
Just… not so soon.
“Too fast!”
“Damn it!”
Chief Wei’s expression darkened.
Lin Xi wasn’t like Ye Yiyi. She was Zhang Chen’s fiancée.
Even if he could ignore the Lin Family’s opinion, Zhang Chen’s feelings mattered!
Now they were watching her corpse-transform right before their eyes?
“This is a calamity…”
Chief Wei felt cursed lately.
First, the new medicine R&D project kept running into issues.
Now this?
He swore—after this, he’d buy an almanac and check his fortune before leaving home every day.
After turning, Lin Xi had lost all consciousness.
Or rather, the woman standing before Ye Fan, hand through his chest, was no longer Lin Xi. But a demon.
A monster.
Under everyone’s stunned gaze, Lin Xi casually tossed the 160-pound man aside like a ragdoll.
“Such strength!”
“She’s demonized!”
“This power… is inhuman!”
How could a frail, pampered heiress have such might? Even fools could see something was wrong.
Ye Fan was flung several meters, slamming into the wall before collapsing to the ground.
Puh-ha!
He vomited a mouthful of blood.
Tragic.
But before he could even get up, a chilling gust blew past him!
Looking up, he saw, Lin Xi was already in front of him again.
“Lin Xi!”
Ye Fan cried out one last time, desperately hoping to awaken the mind of the goddess he once loved.
But what he got in return was Lin Xi tearing off his entire left arm.
