Chapter 60 Who Dares to Harm Her in the slightest
The moment the longsword, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, hurtled towards Huali, Wen Jin, to the astonishment of the two, gripped the blade with his bare hands.
Blood spurted from between the thumb and forefinger, flowing over the sword and dripping continuously from the blade.
"My lord!" Cen Xi was startled and immediately knelt on one knee.
Wen Jin ignored her, his pale golden eyes fixed on Hua Li. Seeing that she had no injuries whatsoever, he lowered his eyes and frowned: "You've been drinking?"
Huali was also quite frightened, and when she tried to move, she found that she was still being restrained by magic.
Wen Jin glanced at Cen Xi, the coldness in his eyes making Cen Xi's hair stand on end, and he immediately withdrew his spell.
Huali stumbled and fell out from behind the tree.
She first looked at Wen Jin, then at General Cen, who had been by Wen Tingyun's side but was now kneeling before Wen Jin. In a flash, she understood many things.
Realizing she had probably overheard them discussing confidential matters, Karin deliberately tried to avoid suspicion, saying, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I didn't hear anything, I just came to catch my cat."
She grabbed Ao Bai off her shoulder and covered her eyes with her two front paws.
Oh no, oh no, Wen Jin won't kill her to silence her, will he?
Caught off guard, Ao Bai was pulled down and hurriedly used his tail to cover his private parts, meowing wildly: "Let me go! What happened to having a sense of propriety?!"
"Well, you two continue chatting, I'm leaving." Seeing that neither of them spoke, Huali's eyes involuntarily drifted to Wen Jin's bleeding hand. She opened her mouth, turned around, and left.
"Wait a minute." Wen Jin tossed the blood-stained sword to Cen Xi. "You go back first."
Cenxi hesitated, her gaze towards Huali filled with hostility.
This woman is too strange. It's one thing for the Second Prince to protect her, but now even the Demon Lord, who is usually indifferent to women, is treating her differently. Could it be that she knows the seduction techniques of the Joyful Union Sect?
A beautiful woman can be a source of trouble, and this woman overheard their conversation; perhaps it would be better to…
Suddenly, a chilling killing intent swept over them. Cen Xi's expression changed drastically, and she abruptly lowered her head, her fingertips holding the sword trembling uncontrollably.
A sinister, bloodthirsty voice rang out from his mind without any fluctuation.
"If I find out that you have acted without authorization and harmed her in the slightest, I will tear you to pieces and annihilate your soul forever."
Hua Li watched in bewilderment as General Cen stood up, first bowing to Wen Jin, then to her before leaving.
She scratched her head. General Cen was actually a very nice person.
Hua Li already knew who Wen Jin was contacting, but she never expected that the undercover agent was General Cen.
No wonder Wen Tingyun made such a commotion back then, but still couldn't find Wen Jin in the doghouse.
The Demon Lord is still the Demon Lord, and even his alt accounts should not be underestimated.
"You're injured." Wen Jin's tone remained indifferent, but Hua Li could sense the anger hidden within it.
The pain from coughing up blood was still there, but Huali nodded and urged, "It's nothing, let's go home and talk about it."
She needs to sort things out and think about how to save people.
No matter how brutal the infighting among demons may be, it should not involve innocent mortals. The tragedy of Chen Liucheng is still fresh in her memory; she should help as much as she can.
Karin's mind was racing, and she didn't notice that the person behind her was momentarily lost in thought because of her words.
Wen Jin dug his fingertips into the wound on his palm, his throat bobbing uncontrollably beneath his pale skin.
As dusk settled, a breeze rustled the leaves, and the young demon lord's voice was as soft as a handful of melting snow, "...You said that...is home?"
Hua Li had only taken a few steps when she realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw Wen Jin's expression, and knew that he was about to go crazy again.
She quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, "That's right, we've been drinking all day and haven't eaten. Come on, let's go to Zhang Dezhu's place for a meal. Just tell him you're my long-lost younger brother."
The wind that swept up when the girl turned around brushed against his brow bone. A dark fire burned deep in Wen Jin's pupils. He bit his tongue hard, but heard his broken syllables spell out three words, "Yes, go home."
*
It's raining again.
As the rosewood window opened, moisture rushed in.
Wen Jin's palms were wrapped in her hands three times over, and he sat on the couch listening to the rain with her.
The flowers and plants I planted a few days ago couldn't withstand the continuous gloom, and their petals fell to the ground, winding their way along the cracks in the blue bricks.
"Did you kill all the monsters in the Monster Hunter Center?"
Wen Jin nodded, "The beast core can maximize the generation of spiritual power within my body." But a level five magical beast is still somewhat lacking.
Suddenly, Huali thought of something and asked, "It can only be a monster core? What about a demon core?"
Wen Jin looked at her, "You have it?"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!!" Huali took out a small wooden box from her Qiankun bag and opened it. Twenty-one demon cores were neatly arranged on it, radiating spiritual energy.
"Isn't this a coincidence? Before I went to Chenliu City, I trained in the Monster Forest for a period of time. This is the demon core I obtained when I killed the monsters. I originally wanted to sell it, but it ended up being kept here by some twist of fate."
Hua Li's eyes darted around, and she flashed the classic smile of a loan shark's henchman. "See if this works for you?"
Wen Jin silently accepted them. In addition to the nine level-five demon cores, there were also twelve level-three demon cores.
Thinking of Huali's cultivation level, his eyes darkened. "Who else was with you at that time?"
"Lotus rinsing, please." Huali blurted out without thinking.
Ao Bai tried to warn him, but it was too late; the fur on the tip of its tail stood on end. "Host, watch your words!"
The girl called out the stranger's name so familiarly and intimately that Wen Jin's hand holding the wooden box tightened suddenly. "Lian Zhuo?"
The moment the words slipped out, Huali knew she was doomed; her quick tongue had gotten her into trouble!
She forced herself to remain calm, "She's my friend, I'll introduce you to her next time." It's fake, I hope you two never meet.
Wen Jin held the wooden box, his expression unreadable. At this moment, the sound of rain seemed noisy to him.
He argues with Huali, but he doesn't.
Unexpectedly, she could earn some unexpected wealth. Hua Li looked at Wen Jin with sparkling eyes, and took out a piece of paper in her hand. "Putting everything else aside, tell me, is this useful to you?"
"The demon pills and monster pills are similar in function and are indeed useful." With these, he could now focus on preparing for the next steps.
Wen Jin looked at the dilapidated little house, something flashing in his eyes.
Hua Li's heart instantly settled. She chuckled, "Wen Jin, actually, given our relationship, I should just give it to you for free, but I know you're not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of small things..."
Wen Jin raised an eyebrow, "For example?"
"For example, these are demon cores that I risked my life to retrieve, so you definitely have to pay me."
Hua Li slammed the price list she had written down onto the table with a "thud," and said, "A level three demon core costs two high-grade spirit stones, and a level five demon core costs three mid-grade spirit stones. This is still a friendly price I'm giving you."
Fearing that Wen Jin might find it too expensive, she thoughtfully said, "I know you don't have any money right now, but it's okay, you can write an IOU."
Wen Jin: "......"
The frustration in his heart inexplicably dissipated, and Wen Jin tilted his head, "You like spirit stones?"
Of course! Who doesn't like money?
Seeing Huali nod, Wen Jin thought for a moment and suddenly opened his palm. Above him lay a heptagonal prism-shaped crystal, its light flowing and dazzling like fragments of stars. "Take it."
"What is this?" Huali asked curiously as she took the key. The next second, Wen Jin suddenly gripped her hand tightly, and the sharp edge of the key pierced both of their hands at the same time. As the blood beads mingled, golden sparks burst out on them.
At the same time, a snow-white pear blossom appeared on the dragon's tail of the Nero Cicada Palace in Sunset City, which possessed endless treasures.
Wen Jin released her hand. "This is the payment for buying your demon core."
Huali took the crystal with suspicion. Was this thing valuable?
