Chapter 125: Tell Your Story (Third Update)
Ghost Face Axe King's business was very tense, and now she truly had a hint of fragility.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi retorted, "Miss, why belittle yourself? You have a pair of captivating eyes that I really like."
"You're a pervert!"
If someone praised her eyes at any other time, Ghost Face Axe King would definitely praise their discerning eye. But not in this situation! Moreover, she subconsciously thought of how Zhang Chi had covered her face with a cloth before, so she immediately retorted, "If you like them, why did you cover them?"
"Oh? So it was because covering your eyes made you unhappy?"
Zhang Chi pulled the cloth down a bit, revealing her eyes, only covering the lower half of her face. Surprisingly, despite the green and red marks, Ghost Face Axe King didn't look bad as long as her mouth wasn't visible. Her eyes were beautiful, shining like stars. No wonder the overall appearance of the people improved so much after wearing masks. In fact, just by looking at the upper half, many people easily turned into beauties, and there was even the temptation of a few Spirit Partitioning secrets.
"Can we continue now?"
"No!"
Ghost Face Axe King saw Zhang Chi's face, and her inner resistance wasn't as firm as she thought. But out of reason, she still firmly refused.
"If you let me go, I'll find you a better woman. How about that?"
She tried to negotiate with Zhang Chi, who calmly said, "I am not a lecherous person. I only laid hands on you because I was attracted to your physique and wanted to use the method of replenishing to plunder it."
"..."
You're really too frank.
But Zhang Chi's frankness made Ghost Face Axe King feel hopeless instead. In the struggle between the victor and the vanquished, if she fell into Zhang Chi's hands, any outcome wouldn't be surprising. She just wanted to know what fate awaited her, which inevitably made her feel sad.
"I wonder why you are so eager, even though you already have a beautiful woman by your side. Why are you still interested in someone like me?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She was well aware of her appearance. Although her figure was good, her looks were truly ugly. Not to mention scaring others, she couldn't even bear to look at herself in a bronze mirror.
But now there was a handsome young man who wanted to do something inappropriate to her. Besides having ulterior motives, there was no other explanation.
"My life is yours to take, but I want to know what kind of physique makes you willing to sacrifice like this."
She had a carefree personality. In her words, she openly and subtly mocked Zhang Chi, unwilling to restrain herself even in the face of death.
"Complete sacrifice is not necessary. Miss, your figure is exquisite, your voice is like a oriole's, and although your face has been marred by these green and red marks, it can still be considered a minor flaw. I'm not at a loss."
Being scrutinized by Zhang Chi, Ghost Face Axe King felt extremely embarrassed. Her face was ugly, but her background was noble. Who would dare to evaluate her like this, and in such a vulgar tone? However, Zhang Chi's words made her feel more shy than angry.
In the end, she was angry at his vulgarity, but also gratified that she still had some charm.
With her cultivation, she didn't really need to care too much about her appearance. But human nature was like this—the worse something was, the more one would care about it.
Although Zhang Chi was a bit shameless, he still had a discerning eye. Of course, this view was also because Zhang Chi's appearance satisfied her.
"You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, look like a gentleman at first glance. I didn't expect you to be so despicable and vulgar."
"I admit to being despicable, but not vulgar."
Zhang Chi's words were sincere and casual, and Ghost Face Axe King also sensed a hint of meaning. It was nothing more than that he had made up his mind to kill her, so he didn't care what he said to her anymore.
"Alright, I am now in your hands. Whatever you say goes.
But you're definitely going to kill me, so why not let me die with some understanding."
"To die with understanding doesn't really matter. Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
After several studies and the use of the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon, Zhang Chi realized that the more compliant the other party was, the more benefits he could gain.
Practice brings true knowledge.
Therefore, even if he had to kill the Ghost Face Axe King, Zhang Chi tried his best to appease her emotions.
He would fulfill any insignificant requests she had.
"You are the Body of the First Star, the nemesis of ghosts."
"Body of the First Star..."
Upon receiving the answer, the Ghost Face Axe King suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, I am the one in a million Body of the First Star. My people all see me as an ominous being, but this opportunity was revealed by someone from a remote place.
It's funny, so funny!"
Zhang Chi: "..."
He didn't know what was so funny, but as he watched her laugh and then cry, tears slowly streamed down her face amidst the laughter. He understood that there was a story behind it.
Zhang Chi took out a wine jar from his bag and a bowl from inside it, filled it up for her, and said, "Wine can dispel worries. After drinking this cup, why not tell me your story?"
The Ghost Face Axe King paused for a moment, took the wine cup from Zhang Chi, and drank the entire bowl in one gulp.
"My name is Wenren Li. My father is the clan leader of the Wenren Family."
Ghost Face Axe King revealed her name, and Zhang Chi flattered her by saying, "Your name sounds really nice."
"Heh, it's not nice at all. Everyone wishes I would just disappear."
Wenren Li noticed that Zhang Chi didn't react to the term "Wenren Family," realizing that this country bumpkin probably didn't know anything.
Yet he could recognize the Body of the First Star and could fight her on equal terms.
The small Western State was truly a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.
Wenren Li continued her story.
"I always remember that strange dream. I dreamt that on the day I was born, five monsters attacked me and the people around me.
One monster bit my neck and then disappeared.
One monster tore my lips with its claws, and that wound still hasn't healed. That monster also disappeared.
There were three other monsters that touched me and inexplicably vanished.
I always thought it was just a nightmare.
I thought that I was born like this, ugly, hideous, inherently ominous, causing my mother's death.
I was driven out of the family since I was young, and even the family I was supposed to marry into on my wedding day humiliated me."
"That's going too far. If they want to call off the marriage, let them. I wouldn't even want to marry them! What's the big deal about humiliating someone?
If it were me, I would tell them, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor!'"
Gu Youyou: "..."
She found Zhang Chi to be very strange, with a peculiar excitement when he said that sentence.
Wenren Li smiled and thanked Zhang Chi for speaking up for her.
"I have always been different from ordinary people since I was young. I have innate divine power, and my cultivation speed is also very fast. Among my peers, there is no rival.
Whenever the family had external competitions and encountered unbeatable opponents, they would let me go in the name of my sister, Wenren Shu, wearing a mask.
Outsiders all believed that Wenren Shu of the Wenren Family was both talented and beautiful, invincible among her peers. Many sought her hand in marriage.
Last year, the young master of Heavenly Spring Mountain and the Wenren Family were officially engaged. As this ominous being, I became an obstacle, and the family could no longer tolerate me. They banished me to Western State."
"You took a whole year to travel such a short distance?"
"If I didn't take a year, I wouldn't have made it to Western State..."
PS: There are fewer chapters to catch up on, and there are no recommendations. I'm probably really done for.
