When Liu Ruyi returned to the room, she saw Ye Shu sitting on the bed, staring wide - eyed at the thin figure in the corner. Both of them didn't blink, as if they were competing to see who had more self - control.
"Are you playing the game of taming a hawk?"
Liu Ruyi was playing with several blood pills in her hand, looking at the two of them with a bit of amusement.
When they saw her coming back, they both withdrew their gazes.
"Not interested," Ye Shu said indifferently, his face as calm as still water.
Liu Ruyi looked at him and suddenly noticed that he seemed different. When he was just resurrected, there was still a bit of playfulness and the vitality of a living person on Ye Shu. But at this moment, all she could see was a calmness and tranquility like a gentle stream.
It was as if everything was under his control.
Even though the man in front of her was now a useless person, he was still so calm and composed, as if he was still the high - and - mighty Half - Immortal.
This actually made her even more infatuated.
Liu Ruyi put away the shock in her heart.
She made up her mind that she must make this Lord of the World, the unparalleled Half - Immortal who had been betrayed and suffered great changes, gradually lose hope in the righteous path, and finally completely fall into the demonic path, becoming a sharp blade of the demonic way.
This was more challenging and interesting.
And the first step was to make sure he couldn't leave the demonic path.
" What's his name?" Ye Shu suddenly pointed at the man in the corner and asked.
"You've been together for so long, and you still haven't asked his name?" Liu Ruyi raised her eyebrows, a bit surprised.
"He's a mute," Ye Shu said seriously.
Liu Ruyi was stunned at first, then covered her mouth and burst into laughter. "He's a mute? Hahaha! A mute?"
She laughed so hard that tears were almost coming out.
The man in the corner remained expressionless all the time, like a sculpture or an ornament standing in the corner.
"His name is Aqi, and he's not a mute," Liu Ruyi wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a smile.
"Aqi?" Ye Shu asked curiously, "Why this name?"
"It's very simple," Liu Ruyi pulled a chair and sat down, then said calmly, "Back then when I picked up beggars on the street, I took in a total of three hundred people. He was the seventh one, so I named him Aqi."
"What about the others?"
"The others? Of course, they're all dead."
"Dead?"
"Yes, dead," Liu Ruyi said indifferently. "You don't think our demonic path is a charity hall, do you?"
"I divided them into ten groups, with thirty people in each group. Then I gave each group a sharp knife. The ten survivors would compete again, and only the last one alive would be qualified to stay."
"Isn't this fair?"
Liu Ruyi picked up the tea and took a sip. "If you want to gain power, you must pay the price. The 299 people he killed were all refined into blood pills to help him embark on the path of cultivation. Their deaths made him what he is today."
"Everyone in this blood battle knew it clearly."
"I just gave them a chance."
Hearing this, Ye Shu's expression remained unchanged.
As he had expected, this woman was not a kind - hearted person but a real member of the demonic path, with countless blood on her hands.
"If you feel sorry for him..."
Liu Ruyi suddenly put down the teacup, tilted her head back, her two fair calves swaying under the chair, and showed a smile to Ye Shu, looking just like an innocent young girl.
"Then can you have pity on me?"
She pouted and said pitifully, "When I was very, very young, probably around five or six years old, my father and mother died, killed by the righteous path."
"My family lived in a small mountain village. One day when my father came back from chopping firewood, I was sitting in the yard and saw two figures, one white and one black, floating in the air on the mountain outside the village."
"I thought I saw immortals."
"Then, bang!" Liu Ruyi clapped her hands, making a crisp sound.
"A white light flashed, and the mountain exploded. Rocks flew everywhere. The people in the village were screaming and running, screaming and running. There were huge falling rocks everywhere."
"I just sat there stupidly at that time."
"Rocks bigger than houses were falling down one after another. My father wanted to come and pick me up, but he was crushed into a pulp by a small rock before he could take a few steps. My mother didn't even have time to run out of the house before it was smashed down by the rocks."
"I was very lucky."
"Two big rocks were on either side of me, just like my mom and dad. The other falling rocks could only bounce off them."
"The villagers were running everywhere and were all killed by the rocks."
"I stayed there motionless and survived."
"Haha!"
At this point, Liu Ruyi actually burst out laughing. "Don't you think it's funny? Those who were desperately running died, while I, who was sitting there waiting to die, survived."
"Later on..."
"The noise on the horizon gradually subsided."
"I saw the black figure land on the ground with my own eyes, and the white one... whoosh, a black light flashed, and it also fell to the ground."
"A man in a black robe landed and saw me."
"He asked me if I wanted to go with him."
"I said yes."
"Then he took me to a very dark place and gave me a knife. There were many, many kids like me there, and there were also wild beasts with green - glowing eyes."
"He taught us a spell and then left."
Liu Ruyi took out a small dagger from her sleeve. It was about the length of an adult's palm, and the blade was very thin, almost transparent.
She waved the dagger in the air a few times.
"At that time, I was like this, kaka! Kaka!"
"One strike after another, one strike after another!"
"I hacked all the way from one end to the other, and then all the way back. I wasn't tired at all. I felt warm all over and very comfortable. After I finally finished killing all the wild beasts, the man in the black robe said that the people hadn't been killed yet."
"Someone attacked me secretly, but I counter - killed them."
"Just like that, I stood there, waiting for everyone to come and kill me, and then I killed them."
"Later on, they all called me the Saintess."
"Not until I grew up did I know that actually a senior elder of the demonic path was being chased by the righteous path that day. Our village was just affected by the aftermath and was destroyed."
"After that elder died, the cult leader also killed that righteous - path elder on the way. Before leaving, he saw that I was still alive, so he thought it was a waste not to use me and abducted me to give it a try."
"Aqi only killed about three hundred people."
"And I've killed more than ten thousand people to get to where I am today," Liu Ruyi turned her head, looked at Ye Shu, and showed a big smile.
"If you feel sorry for him, can you feel sorry for me too?"
"If you think he's amazing, can you also think I'm amazing?"
"Praise me?"
"..."
Ye Shu was speechless.
No, was this person in front of him really human?
"Since that's the case, why did you choose the demonic path? Logically, you should hate it, right?"
"Hate? Why should I hate?" Liu Ruyi tilted her head in confusion, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
"If it weren't for the Demonic Path, I would have starved to death in that small mountain village long ago, and so would those children. Between starving to death and being killed, at least there was a way out. If you want to have something, you must pay a price. It was the Demonic Path that gave me a second life and allowed me to have the power I have now."
"The ones who killed my parents weren't from the Demonic Path."
"Why should I hate it?"
She looked at Ye Shu in confusion, but secretly laughed in her heart.
Haha, what a tragic and sad life story! This guy must have started to sympathize with her and become gradually disappointed with the Righteous Path, right?
Of course, this wasn't something she made up out of thin air.
It was something that had really happened, which was why she dared to say it.
"............"
Ye Shu was silent for a while.
He looked at the innocent and charming young girl in front of him.
Suddenly, he felt his hands and feet turn cold, shivering involuntarily.
This was no ordinary demonic girl from the Demonic Path. He had to take drastic measures!
