Chapter 35 The Demon Lord Becomes My Little Guardian 7

His heart was pounding, but his expression remained normal.

"Sorry, miss."

Although it was an apology, there was no trace of regret in his tone, as if the person in front of him was a complete stranger.

Jiang Zhi pinched her fingers and carefully looked at the man's expression. Her cold eyes were calm and not a single emotion was revealed.

Did he not discover my identity? Or was he hiding himself, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to me?

"It's okay, be more careful next time"

"Um"

Jiang Zhi turned around and left, not daring to stay any longer.

The sight behind him was as sharp as a needle and a thorn, staring at the quickly leaving figure, and only looked away after it disappeared around the corner.

"call"

Back in the room, Jiang Zhi, who had been trying to remain calm, collapsed onto the bed in an instant, his palms wet and his entire body covered in cold sweat.

"Xiaobai, do you think he has discovered my identity? Has his elixir recovered?"

Jiang Zhi didn't dare to gamble. Only by getting the correct answer could he come up with a countermeasure.

"Host, Xiaobai doesn't know either. The villain's blackening value is fluctuating now. Sometimes it's 90, sometimes it's 110."

Xiaobai finally understood what people always said about a man's heart and a needle in the sea.

"Could it be that he was moved by my all-inclusive nourishing meal and suspected I had ulterior motives, which is why his Darkness Level keeps changing?"

"That makes sense. After all, no one has been able to see through your shapeshifting technique yet."

"That's good, that's good."

The tense nerves in his head relaxed, and he felt sleepy. Jiang Zhi lay on the big bed and fell into a deep sleep.

………

The tightly closed door of the secret room suddenly opened, and a slender figure gradually became clear.

"Welcome the Sect Master out of retreat"

The disciples half-knelt and spoke loudly.

Ling Jiang stood straight, clenching his fingers, wanting to rush up and grab the collar and punch him a few times, questioning

"Why do you want to take Senior Sister's position?"

"Since you've already snatched it, why don't you cherish it? Why are you making Ling Xuanzong so miserable?"

Thinking of Jiang Zhi's words, Ling Jiang tried hard to suppress his dark emotions.

"Don't break up with him yet, let's take a long-term approach."

"Make him spit out everything he ate."

"Big Brother, you are finally out of seclusion."

Ling Jiang came up and smiled sweetly

Wang Chaoyang glanced at him coldly, with no disguising of alienation in his amber pupils.

He had always looked down on this junior fellow apprentice. Not only was he poorly qualified, but he was also too playful, unlearned, and his cultivation had stagnated for a hundred years.

I really don’t know what’s the point of my senior sister adopting him, and if it weren’t for him, my senior sister might not have died!

Thinking of Ling Xuan, the alienation in Wang Chaoyang's eyes turned into pain.

"During my retreat, was there anything unusual in the sect?"

"Two days ago during the disciple selection, there was a man named Zhu Xun, with cyan spiritual power and superior aptitude, who was temporarily selected by me..."

“Okay.”

Wang Chaoyang was very impatient and interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"You don't need to tell me about such trivial matters. If it's nothing serious, just leave."

What's a mere cyan spiritual power? Only a loser like Ling Jiang would treasure it.

Ling Jiang gritted his teeth

"yes"

………

Ling Xuanzong found another unidentified female corpse. All the blood in her body had been sucked out, her skin was sallow, and she was as shriveled as a mummy.

The body was discovered by a female cultivator on the gravel path next to the kitchen. She described the night the moon shone blood red, and the chickens and ducks in the kitchen were restless and shrill. Curious, she snuck out and, upon reaching the gravel path, saw an unknown figure lying straight in the middle of the road. By the dim moonlight, she could tell it was a female disciple. She approached, only to discover it was a dried corpse, drained of blood.

The blood moon, the mummies, the caws of chickens and ducks, Jiang Zhi felt that this scene was strangely familiar.

Oh! Isn't this the scene where vampires appear on TV?

No way! Are vampires so widespread? Have they even come to the world of immortal cultivation?

Finally, under Jiang Zhi's coercion and inducement, the young female cultivator admitted that there was no crowing of chickens or ducks. She was simply hungry and wanted to steal something from the kitchen. If she had known she would encounter such a strange thing, she would rather starve to death than go out.

When Ling Jiang arrived, he was almost frightened to death by the upright mummy, and his screams broke through the beams of the house.

"Look at you, you are such a loser"

Jiang Zhi covered his ears, waited for the evil sound to dissipate, reached out and poked the back of the corpse's neck, and the corpse actually jumped around Ling Jiang.

"Ahhh, get out of here, don't chase me, ah! Senior sister, save me!"

Jiang Zhi crossed his arms and saw Ling Jiang's pale and miserable appearance. He whistled and the mummy obediently walked to the bed and lay down.

"Where did this monster come from? It scared me to death."

Ling Jiang hid behind Jiang Zhi, gently pinched the cloth on his shoulder blade, and spoke with lingering fear.

"It's not a monster. She's dead. I used corpse control to control her, so she can jump."

"Corpse Control? Does that mean you can manipulate corpses at will?"

Jiang Zhi nodded. "Yes, there are also soul control techniques and mind control techniques. As long as your spiritual power is sufficient, you can control everything."

"Then why don't you teach me? Why are you trying to scare me with this?"

Ling Jiang curled his lips, thinking that his senior sister only knew how to favor the eldest senior brother.

"Haven't you heard that teaching a disciple means starving the master to death? And it's not that I don't want to teach you, but you and Wang Chaoyang are still young, so it's not appropriate for you to learn this."

Ling Jiang felt balanced and secretly delighted.

You, Wang Chaoyang, actually look down on me.
