Chapter 126: Villains Die From Talking Too Much, And So Do Decent People (Fourth Update)
Chapter 126: The Antagonist Dies from Talking Too Much, and So Does the Protagonist (Fourth Update)
From Central State to Western State, it may take an ordinary person a lifetime to reach, but with the means of cultivation, even a year would be considered slow.
Wenren Li's response was quite intriguing.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Chi understood.
Someone didn't want her to make it to Western State alive.
"Throughout the journey, I was very high-profile, flaunting my identity as the eldest daughter of the Wenren Family, leaving behind a bad reputation, but also preserving my life.
In a big family, face is of utmost importance, so no assassins came looking for me.
In the past, I lived behind a mask. After taking it off, I realized it was quite interesting.
Others found me ugly, but I wanted to scare them."
Hmm, I understand. After setting myself free, I discovered a new kind of happiness.
After arriving in Western State, Wenren Li specifically sought out a relatively remote southwestern area.
Here, far away from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, Wenren Li intended to find a place to live her life, cultivate her own path, and bid farewell to her past self.
Unexpectedly, after making a detour to the Talisman Treasure Sect, she ended up in this secret realm along with the people and the island.
With her innate divine power, even if her cultivation was sealed, she was almost invincible.
If Zhang Chi doesn't break through the Foundation Building stage, even if he can use True Qi, he wouldn't be her match, which shows how strong her physical body is.
"The Wenren Family flatters and schemes, but in the end, they only wanted to establish relationships with those major sects, mistakenly driving away the truly talented individuals within the family.
In the end, it benefited you, kid."
As Zhang Chi listened, he was quite moved and said, "This is like sending a drop of blood over a thousand miles, valuing the gift but not the sentiment!"
Wenren Li: "..."
She didn't understand the meaning of "sending a drop of blood" and naturally couldn't comprehend Zhang Chi's strange words. So she continued speaking.
"I lost to you, and although I'm not convinced, I accept it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that I possess the Body of the First Star. Perhaps I would have died with guilt."
Wenren Li had helped the Wenren Family a lot before, enduring the humiliation from others and willingly living behind a mask because she also believed that she was an ominous person who had caused the death of her loved ones.
If the family hadn't secretly sent someone to kill her, she wouldn't have flaunted her identity and damaged the reputation of the Wenren Family.
But now, things were different. She knew it wasn't her fault.
It was the Wenren Family's own problem.
It was because they failed to protect the wife of the clan leader, which gave the ghost tribe an opportunity.
Moreover, upon careful consideration, her half-sister Wenren Shu was only a little over two months younger than her.
Was the attack by the ghost tribe really just a coincidence?
These questions couldn't withstand careful scrutiny, but now it didn't matter whether they were considered or not.
"You can take my Body of the First Star, and I also want to ask you for one thing."
"Let me seek revenge for you?"
"Whether revenge is sought or not doesn't matter anymore. I have a maid named Lu Luo who has always been loyal to me. If I disappear, she will definitely come looking for me. When that happens, please spare her life."
Wenren Li spoke with genuine emotion, and even Gu Youyou was a little moved.
"She's really pitiful. How about this, after you harvest the essence, spare her life?"
"Heh."
Zhang Chi only laughed inwardly, his sarcasm already sufficient.
"Your request is simple, and I agree."
Zhang Chi seemed quite gentle, and Wenren Li seemed to have no regrets.
Their gazes met, and everything was understood without words.
Wenren Li was already weak all over. She reluctantly reached out and put on a veil, covering her lips and face that were difficult to look at directly, leaving only a pair of bright eyes.
The divine dragon explores and explores again, difficult to describe in detail.
Gu Youyou looked a little shy, so she cut off her perception and pretended to be asleep.
This is simply a violation of the current situation!
Both of them, one avoiding and the other being overwhelmed, didn't notice that Wenren Li's face was emitting a faint blush.
Even if they noticed, they wouldn't pay too much attention, thinking it was just a normal flush.
Underneath the veil, the bruises on Wenren Li's face gradually came to life. They appeared and disappeared, slowly blending into Wenren Li's face.
Wenren Li's two protruding front teeth gradually returned to normal, but two sharp fangs grew on both sides. The wounds on her lips quickly healed, returning to their normal appearance.
If Zhang Chi were to lift the veil at this moment, he would see a stunning beauty.
Without the marks, the grotesque wounds on her body, and the protruding front teeth, Wenren Li's appearance was enough to captivate anyone.
Coupled with her hot figure, who wouldn't be infatuated with her?
At this moment, Wenren Li had completely recovered her strength.
Sit and wait for death? Give up and wait to die?
No!
That's not her style.
Her character is that when she reaches a desperate situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will fight to the death.
And when she heard the words "Body of the First Star," she knew where her path lay.
She knew that she possessed the power of ghosts.
The angrier she became, the stronger she became.
That dream had already told her that she had swallowed five ghosts when she was born.
Coincidentally, those five ghosts happened to be five different kinds of ghosts.
Over the years, Wenren Li had never known why she was so extraordinary, but after hearing Zhang Chi's words, the fog in her heart completely dissipated.
She naturally gained an understanding of the abilities of the Body of the First Star.
The more excited her emotions were, the stronger her body became.
When she was young, she was able to devour five ghosts because her inner fear was too strong.
She was afraid, so she ate all five ghosts that touched her.
And now, she needed more things to stimulate herself.
So, under Zhang Chi's probing, her power gradually recovered and surpassed her previous level.
One was uncontrolled, the other intentional.
It turns out that Zhang Chi's Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon and Wenren Li's Body of the First Star are truly a perfect match.
One stimulates emotions and the body, while the other requires the stimulation of emotions and the body.
Unconsciously, Zhang Chi was also captivated by the enchanting ability of the Lustful Ghost. Just as he was about to succeed, Wenren Li suddenly launched a fierce attack, turning defense into offense, completely suppressing Zhang Chi.
Only then did Zhang Chi wake up, but he was already unable to move.
"Until the dust settles, don't think you're the ultimate winner. In this game, you lost.
It's not that you took advantage of me, but that I took advantage of you."
Wenren Li firmly held Zhang Chi's chin and said, "Considering how hard you worked just now, I'll spare your life."
Zhang Chi: "......"
Second brother! Come out and help!
Zhang Chi was shocked and quickly called for backup.
Gu Youyou was also shocked. Is there someone who can make Zhang Chi fail so miserably?
PS: Actually, I wrote two chapters in advance, but I didn't finish one of them because my wife took me out for a walk. Exercise is important. I'll try to have four updates every day from now on.
