Seeing Li Ang respond like this, Su Di'er blinked, seemingly having anticipated it.
"We could be the Black and White Duo... or, the Male and Female Thieves?"
Su Di'er eagerly picked up the thread, smiling as she raised two fingers and brought them close together.
"Look, among all those notorious bandits, it's these duos that become the most famous... We could form one too!"
"Su Di'er..."
Li Ang shook his head in distress and sighed.
"I've already been good enough to you, why are you pushing so hard?"
He pointed towards his own doorstep.
"Yesterday, I, saved you, right there at the door!"
"Right, so you're responsible."
The girl's eyes shone brightly, staring firmly at Li Ang without backing down an inch.
"You saved me, so you must give this life of mine meaning."
"If you abandon me now, then whether you opened the door yesterday or not, the result would be the same... I, would die."
"But you did open the door yesterday."
"So..."
Despite having a doll-like face, the girl's presence suddenly overpowered Li Ang, the assassin.
Su Di'er lowered her head, resting her chin on her arm, staring at Li Ang with utmost seriousness:
"If you choose to abandon me, I will die tonight... and I definitely will."
The little girl's tone suddenly turned sorrowful:
"But, I don't want to die yet, at least not tonight."
With such a sorrowful yet resolute attitude, Li Ang in the movie, and Zhong Yi from his god's-eye perspective, instantly understood the little girl's intention.
If Li Ang left her to her fate, she would immediately choose to end her own life.
At this moment, the live stream chat erupted into argument.
[Li Ang, take her in!!]
[You're already a demonic cultivator anyway, doing one more bad deed isn't exactly immoral]
[??? Do you hear yourself???]
[Whether it's being an assassin or a demonic cultivator, it's not something you can just do, right... I think Li Ang is doing this for her own good]
[Agreed. Su Di'er is too innocent, we shouldn't corrupt her]
[Then help her get revenge! Why beat around the bush??]
[That's the entire Demon Suppression Bureau, many there are just as strong as Li Ang. Revenge? More like suicide!]
...
At this moment, Li Ang clearly began to feel at a loss.
"Su Di'er, you're still just a little girl... I know you're very sad, but you..."
Still words of refusal.
But the tone was no longer so firm.
Li Ang's reason for refusing was that Su Di'er was too young, not suited for the work of an assassin.
Hearing this, Su Di'er seriously furrowed her brows, as if making some kind of decision, and stood up.
She grabbed the talisman engraved with purplish-black runes from the table and, without a second thought, brought her thumb to the corner of her mouth.
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, his figure instantly flashing behind Su Di'er.
But it was still a bit too late.
A drop of blood slid from the corner of Su Di'er's lips onto the talisman.
Li Ang reacted extremely quickly, one hand shielding Su Di'er behind him, the other performing a technique as a thin white barrier rose up.
With a loud "BOOM."
A violent explosion burned half of the room Li Ang lived in to ruins.
Li Ang stared blankly at Su Di'er behind him.
The girl shrugged in a challenging manner, waving the other talismans in her hand.
"Now? Can I join?"
...
The scene shifts.
Li Ang, carrying large and small bundles, appears in the shot from afar, coming closer.
Beside him, Su Di'er, like a little follower, hurriedly quickens her pace to keep up.
With her bold action just now, Su Di'er proved her determination to Li Ang.
She feared neither killing nor death.
The cost was that Li Ang could no longer stay in his old place...
...
Li Ang soon found a new place to stay with Su Di'er.
A new inn.
Under Su Di'er's vivid performance, the innkeeper, over sixty years old, quickly believed the story of a father bringing his daughter to the town to learn a trade and gladly rented a room to Li Ang.
After repeatedly searching and confirming there were no special items or formations in the room, Li Ang finally set down the bundles and began tidying up.
At this point, the movie scene ends.
Zhong Yi regained control of the character.
"You just said, how old are you?"
The first thing Zhong Yi could do upon regaining control was to look at Su Di'er with a strange expression.
"Twenty-three, what... is there a problem?"
Su Di'er carelessly lifted her chin, saying without blushing or her heart racing.
"Yes, a big problem... you don't look it at all."
Zhong Yi pointed at Su Di'er's doll-like face, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
"Tch, this lady developed late!"
Su Di'er proudly puffed out her chest, seemed to notice her figure really didn't match her age, pouted again, and continued burying her head in scribbling on a piece of paper.
"Li Ang."
The girl stopped writing, walked over to Li Ang who was sitting on a chair, and crouched down in front of him.
"I want to be your disciple, to become like you... I want to be as strong and as clever as you."
Looking into the girl's serious eyes, Zhong Yi couldn't help but avert his gaze.
Regarding the matter of taking a disciple, he had discussed it at length with the chat during the movie.
The plot was too engrossing, so much so that Zhong Yi had almost forgotten a very important thing—
Li Ang is a demonic cultivator.
How does a demonic cultivator take a disciple?
Turn Su Di'er into a demonic cultivator too?
That would be too cruel!
Seeing the other party remain silent, Su Di'er's little face flushed red with anxiety:
"I, I know I'm not strong enough yet..."
"But I can train! I can drink goat's milk every day like you!"
"If, if you would teach me cultivation techniques..."
As the girl spoke halfway, Zhong Yi could no longer hold back.
"Su Di'er."
He interrupted Su Di'er, carefully observing the behavior points in the upper right corner. Seeing no prompt for a decrease, he then felt reassured enough to say:
"You say you want to become like me, but do you know what kind of person I am?"
"What kind of person?"
The girl raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"More evil than the people who killed your family..."
Zhong Yi slowly spoke, the behavior points in the upper right corner increasing instead of decreasing.
"A demonic cultivator."
