Chapter 49: Are you happy with the money you earn with blood? (27) “The rest…

Si Ling rushed towards Aji without hesitation. Aji immediately met his challenge, and a flurry of spells flew. Feeling provoked, the Snake King rose from behind Aji and roared at Si Ling, unleashing a gust of wind that blew down several of the surrounding trees.

Si Ling continued to fight Ah Ji. Suddenly, he leaped on tiptoe, rudely stepping over Ah Ji's bald head. In an instant, he flew in front of the snake spirit's head. "He must die today, but I can leave you alone. Stay out of my way. I'll leave him alive. How about that?"

Si Ling said this without avoiding anyone. Aji looked up in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face, obviously thinking that Si Ling was daydreaming.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ah Ji burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahahaha... I saved her entire family, and you think you can make her switch sides with just a few words?"

Si Ling ignored Aji's ridicule and just stared at the Snake King's reaction.

She didn't know exactly how much cultivation the snake king had, but it should be at least a thousand years, and she must have been gifted to be able to achieve this. Many monsters could not cultivate such magical powers in their entire lives.

With such skills, she should have a place in the demon world. Not to mention getting a job, she can always occupy the land and become the king. There is no reason for her to be so devoted to being Aji's running dog.

Unless she has her own difficulties that Aji doesn't know about.

Under the inky darkness of the night, the ghost and the demon stared at each other in silence. This silence gradually made Ah Ji feel uneasy. He turned and shouted at the Snake King, "Kill her! When we return to Siam, I'll take you to the Kingdom of Wanta and find a hundred or so people to help you cultivate!"

Si Ling's eyes suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Aji, who was shouting on the ground, and then looked at the Snake King again: "Sacrificing a living person will damage one's virtue. This is a common knowledge in the three realms. But if the person being sacrificed is willing, the damage will be much less. You should also know this."

The snake king just stared at her indifferently. Si Ling wanted to judge her mood, but she really couldn't read any emotions from that pitch-black snake head.

She could only continue to speak: "-Wanta Country is indeed a country with a flourishing religion. It is not ruled out that some people have been bewitched by the Aji and Tumba families and voluntarily sacrificed themselves."

"But this is the 21st century after all. Even though Wanta Country's economy is backward, it has electricity and the internet. How many people still think this way? Don't kid yourself. I guess the people he found for you were bought from the cyber fraud park on the border of Porcelain Tower. They lived in fear and resentment for a long time before being dragged here to be sacrificed by you. Their ghosts will definitely linger and will backfire in the future. Can you handle it?"

The Snake King continued to just look at her, but blinked silently.

Elizabeth and Fredis were engrossed in their fight when the snake spirits suddenly dodged and retreated more than ten meters away. Elizabeth and Fredis maintained their fighting stance, but soon realized the snake spirits stopped attacking and instead watched them from a distance.

"Uh--" Fredis looked at Elizabeth in a hoarse voice. They both turned around and looked at Si Ling and the snake demon.

Si Ling glanced down at Aji again, and spoke in a low voice: "I know you want to find a more durable body and wait until he reaches a higher level of cultivation. But... don't be too greedy. Although he is not very old, he is very talented and his cultivation is good enough. I must kill him today. If you don't give in, find another cultivator. He may not be as good as him."

These words hit the Snake King's weak spot. The ghost energy that Si Ling had just released was enough to let her know her strength, and naturally she also knew that Si Ling was not bragging at this moment.

After another silence, Si Ling in the sky and Aji, Elizabeth and Fredis on the ground all saw the Snake King nod.

The next moment, the Snake King roared to the heavens, and a gust of wind suddenly arose, far more fierce than the previous one. Grass and leaves flew everywhere, and trees as thick as bowls were blown up from the ground. Elizabeth and Fredis were both thrown to the ground, and they quickly extended their long armor to dig into the soil to prevent themselves from being blown away.

It was also in this gust of wind that the dormant snake spirits disappeared one by one. Ah Ji's pupils suddenly constricted, and he was in disbelief at this sudden change.

…Then, he watched the Snake King lower his head and look at him sinisterly.

Si Ling sighed and smiled: "Thank you, you don't have to do it!" After speaking, he turned the dagger in his hands and went straight to Aji!

Aji pulled off the bone amulet on his chest and chanted a spell quickly. With a "clang" sound, at the last second before Si Ling's two swords were about to chop at him, the shield transformed from the amulet blocked the attack.

Si Ling smiled and raised his eyebrows, then suddenly lowered his body and swept across. Without the support of the Snake King, Aji's reaction and combat capabilities were significantly reduced, and he immediately fell backwards to the ground.

He immediately stood up and used the magic shield in his hand to block Si Ling's attack again. Si Ling sneered and simply stabbed the magic shield with both swords. After more than ten consecutive stabs, the magic shield suddenly shattered with a ringing sound!

The airflow caused by the broken magic shield made Aji retreat several steps. He looked at his empty hands in surprise, unable to believe that this powerful magic weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Tumba family could be destroyed so easily.

Only then did he realize some of Si Ling's strength.

But it was too late.

While Aji was busy pulling out the pure gold prayer wheel from his waist, Si Ling stepped on the ground, jumped lightly, and in an instant he was on the upper side of Aji.

In that thousandth of a second, the prayer wheel in Aji's hand just turned a circle, and the golden runes just floated in the air, but Si Ling had already gritted his teeth and stabbed the daggers in both hands into both sides of Aji's neck.

“Puff——”

Si Ling stabbed and pulled, and two bright red fountains spurted out from both sides of Aji's neck.

Aji's eyes widened and his body suddenly softened. He subconsciously stretched out his hand holding the prayer wheel in front of Si Ling, as if he wanted to fight again. However, his body, which was losing blood rapidly, had lost most of its strength. His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

The pure gold prayer wheel slipped from his hand and rolled out. Aji covered his wound, his body beginning to convulse uncontrollably. He barely raised his head. A few steps away was Si Ling, looking at him coldly. Further away, in his gradually blurring vision, he vaguely saw the Snake King with an equally cold gaze.

He opened his mouth and asked with difficulty: "W-why..." He was extremely confused that the Snake King turned against him because of Si Ling's few words.

Si Lingping smiled and cast a spell filled with malice to temporarily save Ah Ji's soul. She sighed and said, "When you saved those little snakes, the Snake King was incredibly touched, right? So touched that he bowed down to you and swore to follow you forever to repay you?"

Aji nodded blankly.

Si Ling snorted, and the two swords flashed silver light and turned back into hairpins, which she inserted back into her bun.

She calmly squatted down in front of Aji and said, "Hey, do you know why China has laws prohibiting preaching to minors?"

Aji looked at her, and although he saw clear mockery on her face, he was too weak to be angry.

Si Ling curled his lips: "——Because when you were underage, not only were your values ​​and judgment not formed, but your knowledge was also insufficient. If you practice cultivation now, sooner or later you will suffer the same loss of education as you!"

As she spoke, she reached out, her slender, pale fingers repeatedly pricking at Ah Ji's braised egg-shaped head. "What? You saved her family, and she wants to repay you... How dare she say that? Cobras are solitary creatures. They only have a brief period of 'socializing' during sex, and then the mother lays and incubates her eggs, but once they hatch, she abandons them! Do you think she understands the deep love between mother and child?"

"Puff--" Aji spat out a mouthful of blood. Si Ling thought it was because of a serious injury, but Elizabeth and Fredis who were not far away thought it was because he was angry.

Si Ling smiled and said, "I have been coveting your body from the beginning."

"?" Although Elizabeth and Fredis had only learned the basics of Chinese, they vaguely understood what this meant and were both stunned.

Aji was stunned, his eyes gleaming with fear. He couldn't help but imagine those unbearable scenes. Si Ling's red lips moved slightly, and she withdrew the spell that protected his soul... Thus, Aji would never know why the Snake King "desired his body" until his death.

After he fainted and before he died completely, the snake king slowly approached him, transformed into the size of a normal cobra in front of his body, and then transformed into a green light and attached itself to his body.

The blood that had spurted from Ah Ji's neck began to flow back, some of it oozing out of the mud and gathering into a small trickle, flowing back into the wound. Some of it first floated into the air, gradually gathering from small red bean-like blood beads, and then rushing towards Ah Ji's wound.

After all the blood was drained away and the fatal wounds healed quickly within seconds, Aji stood up tremblingly and walked towards Si Ling.

Because she was not adapted to the human body, she walked like a zombie in the past few steps, but the snake king in her body was obviously more concerned about another problem - she looked down at her hands that clearly had male features, hissed twice, cast a spell, and transformed into the appearance of a woman.

"Hmm..." Si Ling looked at her in confusion. "I don't quite understand. If you can transform like this, why do you want to take over his body? Can't you just create your own?"

The snake king opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but because he had not yet learned how to control the muscles in his neck, he could only make strange sounds.

Then another flash of green light appeared, and the Snake King temporarily left Aji's body while Aji's soul was still able to maintain the activity of his body. He used magic to change into three different appearances in front of Si Ling.

"Oh..." Si Ling understood, and with an awkward but polite smile, he expressed his deep understanding of the Snake King's choice.

The woman the Snake King transformed into using Aji's body was quite pretty, but the people he transformed into, whether male or female, were unsightly. Not only were they ugly, but they were also missing arms and legs or had incomplete facial features.

Logically speaking, a demon of this level shouldn't be able to transform into this kind of person...

All I can say is that everyone has their own shortcomings.

Just like Si Ling has lived for 30,000 years but still can't learn math, and A Zhui still can't scare people.

The victory put Si Ling in a good mood. She breathed a sigh of relief, stretched her arms and stretched. While stretching, she looked up inadvertently. She had already relaxed, but suddenly realized something and looked up again.

She stared for a moment and clearly saw golden runes looming among the night clouds like stars.

She held her breath and gazed into the distance. The stars stretched for thousands of meters and seemed to cover at least the entire Tumba Manor!

"Elizabeth, Fredis!" Si Ling turned and shouted at the two of them, "I'll take care of the remaining targets, you two hurry up!"
