In the mountains at dawn, a slight rain fell.
Amid the pitter-patter of the rain, I raised my head to look at the sleeping Longting.
My gaze traced the exquisitely delicate contours of Longting's face, and although I didn't mention it aloud, I couldn't completely banish the image of him killing the Lotus Leaf Boy from my mind.
Given Longting's temperament, if he knew the whereabouts of the Demon spawn.
He would definitely find a way to eliminate it stealthily, rather than killing it in front of me.
At that time, he decided to kill because I had already discovered the Demon spawn and wanted to get more clues from it.
Maybe he had always been lying low, just waiting for the Demon spawn to appear.
Monitoring through the cheongsam to spot the Demon spawn, he then struck a fatal blow.
Speaking of which, Su Qiang's whereabouts were also pinpointed by him at that abandoned school.
I clearly remember Su Qiang being found by Longting at Fox Burial Mound, her face showing an extremely surprised and horrified expression. Thıs content belongs to novel_fіre.net
If it weren't for being pinpointed in advance, Su Qiang's movements wouldn't have been easily exposed.
Everything had been arranged and orchestrated by Longting, his schemes were too deep, and he had carefully planned every step long ago…
Qingyang thought he had Longting under control, only to find out he had been seen through and outmaneuvered by Longting!
Suddenly, my fingers unconsciously landed on the position of his heart on his chest.
With just a little force using the Demon-Breaking Power, his soft heart could be shattered.
The so-called Snake Lord, equally vulnerable when unguarded.
When this terrifying thought arose in my heart, a cold sweat broke out all over my body.
I stretched out my arms fiercely, tightly hugging the man's body.
Longting, when exactly did I start to regard you as more important than my own life?
"Wanwan, don't be afraid, I'm here," Longting opened his eyes, his palm on my back, "Did you have a nightmare?"
A dull pain hit my heart, he didn't know that I had just harbored thoughts of killing him.
If he knew I was influenced by Su Qiang and wanted to avenge that Demon spawn who is blood-related to us, he would surely be disappointed, wouldn't he?
"I…" I hadn't started speaking when the cellphone beside the pillow vibrated.
I glanced at the caller ID, quickly wiped the wetness from the corners of my eyes, and answered, "Grandfather."
"Did the Demon spawn at that abandoned school escape?" Lin Huan asked seriously.
Going into the abandoned school was arranged by grandfather.
He would naturally inquire about what happened at the school, which led him to come to me for answers now.
I sniffed slightly, my nose a bit sore, "No, it didn't escape. Longting and I caught up to it and killed it."
"Oh? You did a good deed anonymously, making the elders of various sects panic. Wanwan, why does your voice sound a bit strange?" Lin Huan asked me.
I cleared my throat, covering up my nasal voice, "It might be the Blood-weeping Syndrome, changing my voice, Grandfather. When you had Blood-weeping Syndrome, was it because you were bitten by a demon snake?"
"That did happen, but I haven't told anyone else about it. How did you know?" Lin Huan's deep voice grew elongated, as if he were lost in some distant memory.
I couldn't even describe my own experience of consciousness overlapping with the demon snake Sangsang in the Illusion Realm.
I hastily explained: "Near Tianying Village, I encountered that demon snake. It seemed to be sealed by a monk under the Snake Devouring Stele."
"The venom I was poisoned with back then was virulent, carrying Demonic Qi. Fortunately, that high monk recited the Azarhan Sutra in time, neutralizing my snake venom and saving my life, otherwise your mother and you might not have been here."
Lin Huan seemed quite at peace with the events of that time, though he casually expressed this acceptance with self-deprecation.
Curiosity arose in my heart about that monk in the Illusion Realm, who, despite his refined features, carried a terrifying sharp aura of the Demon-Breaking Vajra, "What kind of high monk was he? With such powerful methods, even able to directly neutralize the venom with Buddhist techniques."
