"I will consider it."
People, in their struggle to survive, may forsake much, but in such times, their logic forsakes them too—clearly, they couldn’t possibly let him go, could they?
"It was the Chuncui Sect who sent us to Youyou Valley because they knew you were there. Rong Xiuxiu has few people on her side and their cultivation is not strong, making them easy to deal with. Our main goal was to kill you."
"Because Chun Ci loves Young Master Rong Fei and knew he was hiding a woman in his quarters. Fearing a crisis, she wouldn’t want Young Master Rong Fei to fall in love with any woman. Sending a human girl to the place was also to keep everything within her control."
"Are you perhaps overthinking it? I was merely trapped there; Rong Fei has no interest in me."
"That’s because you don’t know that Rong Fei never allows women to stay in his room!"
Gu Lili actually knew this.
"How long have you been with Chun Ci?"
"For over a thousand years."
"How did her face change?"
The man spilled everything, "Because she practices an Evil Technique. Originally, she was not good-looking, so she wanted to become the most beautiful woman by absorbing men’s vital energies to increase her cultivation. Up to now, countless young men have died at her hands, and generally, she gets rid of the bodies so their souls can’t even report to the underworld and are scattered. I was also forced into this, it wasn’t my choice, please spare me, reaching my current stage of cultivation hasn’t been easy."
"Then answer three more questions for me. First, how old is Chun Ci?"
"She’s over six thousand years old."
"Second question, why did she arrange for Ye Ying to be close to Rong Fei? What was her purpose?"
"She was extremely favored by Young Master Rong Fei and was pampered by him for many years. Only recently when the Young Master grew tired of her did she start placing women around him. Actually, her main idea was that if a human woman gained the Young Master’s heart, she could shatter the human’s soul and then take over her body, directly replacing her. That’s why she keeps sending women to the Young Master; she believes their bodies will ultimately be hers. Apart from the people she controls, she absolutely won’t allow any other woman to approach the Young Master."
Gu Lili suddenly understood, "Third question, during the meal at the restaurant, did you recognize him?"
She pointed towards Long Yubei.
"Yes," the man said, then pleaded with her, "Please have mercy and let me go. I’ve told you all that you wanted to know."
"Thank you for telling us all this, but if I let you go, then Chun Ci will know we are acting against her and you will also seek trouble with me. I don’t want to alarm her by stirring troubles unnecessarily; since she’s the mastermind wanting me dead, it’s more fun for us to remain hidden while she is exposed, isn’t it?"
Upon hearing this, the man’s heart sank to the depths of despair, "You... your words are untrustworthy!"
"How am I untrustworthy? I only said I would consider letting you go, and now my decision is that I simply cannot let you go." Her dagger pierced into his heart, "Let you know what it feels like to be killed this way!" Read full story at novel[f]ire.net
As the dagger slit his throat, the blood spread as rapidly as the day she lay on the ground.
Had he not been poisoned by the Demon Poisonous Ginseng, he would not have been nearing death.
These lethal means for ordinary humans, would not necessarily bring immediate death to those with substantial cultivation.
