Chapter 137 Chapter 137 "Inner demon?" Li Bai...

"Inner demon?" Li Baili raised her eyebrows and asked seriously.

"No," Changsheng shook his head and said hesitantly, "It was a snake. I don't know where it came from, but it definitely wasn't originally here with me. It only spoke after I woke up from my coma."

"In that case," Li Baili stared at him, her pupils like a ball of sparkling honey-colored amber in the sun, "I want to check your condition, you don't mind, right?"

"I don't mind." Changsheng lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Li Baili. He answered like a student who had made a mistake and was called to the teacher's office for questioning. He was very nervous.

He was worried that Li Baili would find the bamboo green snake and kill him in order to destroy it, or that someone else wanted to kill him and Li Baili didn't want to stop them and just watched from the side.

He was also worried that Li Baili would not be able to detect the bamboo snake, and that the bamboo snake would continue to taunt him and irritate him in his mind, saying things he did not want to hear, and he would not even be able to help but listen.

No matter which situation it is, just thinking about it will make you feel that the result is very painful. In fact, there is a possibility of compromise, but he dare not think about it, nor dare to admit it.

Changsheng took a deep breath and clenched his fists quietly. He couldn't tell where he trembled, but he could feel that he had to clench his teeth tightly to prevent them from loosening.

His face turned paler and his mind was in a mess. One moment he thought of the possibility of being killed, and the next moment he thought that Li Baili might save him. But then he felt that it was unlikely. He felt like he was on a roller coaster with his emotions going up and down.

In the end, he himself didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly came to his senses and found Li Baili standing in front of him, looking at him worriedly.

For a moment he felt that this was actually a dream. What was in front of him was not Li Baili, but just a bubble floating in the sun with colorful glow, which would burst if poked.

Li Baili pulled him aside and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Changsheng subconsciously wanted to say no, but before he said that, he realized that Li Baili was asking about Zhuyeqing. He paused and began to sense his physical condition.

He checked and was somewhat surprised to find that the bamboo green snake had disappeared, as if it had never appeared. His body was clean and he returned to his previous tranquility.

He was stunned for a moment, and when he realized this was true, he almost cried for joy, but his eyes turned red and he held back the tears. He just choked in his throat and a dazed smile appeared on his face.

A person who looks like he is seriously ill and terminally ill suddenly hears the doctor say that he will be cured today. He wants to believe it, but he doesn't dare to. He feels it is fake, but he desperately hopes that it must be true, and he doesn't even dare to speak.

Because he was afraid that if he spoke, everything would go back to the horrible nightmare, and he would still be a useless person who could do nothing. The best outcome would be to lie in bed and slowly rot, and he wouldn't even be able to tell whether he died of pain or starvation.

Li Baili saw that he was very emotional and gave him some time to calm down, but he still didn't come back to his senses, so she patted his shoulder hard and asked, "Are you okay?"

Changsheng shuddered suddenly, as if he was not slapped but electrocuted. He hugged Li Baili tightly, trembling and choking as he said, "I'm fine, thank you!"

Although Li Baili didn't understand why he suddenly hugged her, she thought that he might be too happy because he suddenly became quiet, or he felt that he had returned to normal and needed to find a way to celebrate. It was understandable, so she patted him and said, "You're welcome. Why should we be polite?"

Changsheng felt a chill on his back, as if he suddenly woke up from a sweet dream, and his face turned pale. If Li Baili really dragged Zhuyeqing out, Zhuyeqing should be in Li Baili's hands now. What would Zhuyeqing say to Li Baili?

Will Zhuyeqing tell Li Baili that he already knew that his father's death was caused by Li Baili? Will Zhuyeqing tell Li Baili that he not only knew it, but also concealed it and pretended not to know it?

Will Zhuyeqing tell Li Baili that he hates Li Baili and that he secretly wants revenge, that he is actually hypocritical and that what he says is completely different from what he thinks?

When Zhuyeqing was trying to sow discord between him and Li Baili, he was just angry, but now, he felt scared. He didn't dare to think about what would happen if Li Baili knew that he had been hiding something.

Will Li Baili be disappointed in him? Will Li Baili dislike him? Will Li Baili hate him?

Would Li Baihe just leave him alone? Would Li Baihe never see him again? Would Li Baihe drive him away? Then what was the difference between him and a lost dog?

He always believed that Li Baili was powerful, but he couldn't believe that Li Baili would be willing to believe him after hearing Zhuyeqing's dirty words, which he didn't know whether they were true or false.

After all, strength and heart are two different things.

Changsheng felt his bones trembling in his flesh and blood. He blinked slowly and wanted to let go of Li Baili to avoid being discovered by her. But he felt his limbs were stiff and he couldn't move.

He hesitated for a moment, then maintained that posture in great fear, but he couldn't help secretly trying to hide a little closer to Li Baili, as if Li Baili was the only safe person in the world. Most of the time, this was true.

He really hoped that he could have a good relationship with Li Baili, but, based on what he knew and what Zhuyeqing had said, it was unlikely that he would have a good relationship with Li Baili.

He knew very well that Li Baili was really good to him now, but he couldn't figure out why Li Baili was so good to him.

Is it so that he can kill him one day to avenge what his father did to Li Baili?

Or was it just to see him being obedient and docile, trying his best to please him, and secretly mocking him?

Or, is it because one day I will take something from him, sell it for money to show off, torture him and humiliate him, make him live a life worse than death, and make him regret living here?

"Are you scared?" Li Baili hugged him and could easily feel his emotional changes. She tilted her head slightly, squinted her eyes and looked at him with a half-smile on her face. Like a ghost crawling out of the corner, she asked in a low voice.

Changsheng shuddered and wanted to leave, but was held back by Li Baili. He was not as strong as Li Baili, and he did not dare to disobey Li Baili.

Li Baili touched his hair very gently, as if he was still a child, and said with a smile: "Don't leave in a hurry, explain the matter clearly, otherwise, you have come here for nothing, right? If you don't tell me, I will ask the other one. He came with you, so he should know, right?"

Changsheng trembled all over and almost collapsed, as if he was pierced by an arrow through the heart. All the strength in his body was suddenly gone, and he was about to slide to the ground, but was caught by Li Baili.

He closed his eyes, leaned on Li Baili, and barely stood up. He looked like he had given up and said in a voice that no one except the two of them could hear: "I'm scared."

"Why?" Li Baili asked in confusion.

Changsheng didn't dare to look at his face, for fear of seeing disappointment on his face, and afraid that he would lose control and say everything he should and shouldn't say, but he didn't dare to keep his eyes closed.

Because when he closed his eyes, the world was dark and his sense of touch was more obvious. He could feel more clearly than when he opened his eyes that Li Baili was hugging him.

He could smell the strange and subtle fragrance emanating from Li Baili's body, but he couldn't tell what it was. Perhaps it was the lily, perhaps it was Long Yanxiang, or perhaps it was the blood of a demon.

He could feel that Li Baili's body was warm, even though their skin was not touching but was separated by layers of clothes.

Li Baili's arms held him tightly, pinning him to the spot. He panicked and tried to escape, like a mouse with its tail stepped on by a cat.

But when he didn't want to escape, he suddenly thought that if Li Baili killed him now, he would probably be very happy because he wouldn't have to worry about gains and losses anymore.

He was fed up with the uneasy life.

If the matter had to be exposed, he would rather tell Li Baili himself rather than let the bamboo leaf green snake tell it, because if he told it himself, at least he would know what was being said. If the bamboo leaf green snake told it, he would not know what would happen if it exaggerated.

Changsheng opened his eyes and trembled, as if his whole body was extremely cold, and as if he was scared to death, so he could not bear it any longer, and said with a sense of relief: "I know."

Once the start is made, everything will be easy.

He stood up straight, clenched his fists, and his whole body was tense like a fully drawn bow. Li Baili realized that he had no intention of leaving, so she let go of his hand.

His face was as pale as the wall behind him. He gritted his teeth and said with a slightly blue lip, "I knew about my father's affairs a long time ago."

Li Baili realized what he was talking about, and raised her eyebrows with interest, like a melon farmer watching the fruits about to be harvested in the field, almost a little jubilant, and asked with a smile: "What do you want?"

Changsheng was not expecting Li Baili's reaction. He didn't expect Li Baili not to ask him how he knew it, nor did he expect Li Baili not to ask him why he suddenly wanted to say this. He was stunned for a moment.

If Li Baili asked the former question, it means that Li Baili intends to trace the source and is angry about the matter. If Li Baili asked the latter question, it means that Li Baili intends to keep the matter vague.

Changsheng opened his mouth, his mind was blank, his expression was a little dull, like a fish turning upside down in the water, with two empty and somewhat dazed eyes, then he took a deep breath and said: "I just hope that no matter what the snake says, you will never believe it."
