Cen Jin thought about it.
A logic that was almost unbelievable to her said:
"My secret... Actually, we are of the same race. I also have demonic energy within me." He slowly moved closer. "Before, I was afraid that you would be afraid of me, but now it seems that we are truly made for each other."
Jiang Jiang: “......?” Something doesn’t feel right.
"So the abnormality you're experiencing right now is related to the demonic energy in your body?"
Cen Jin nodded, and without her knowing when, he leaned on her shoulder again. His cool breath hit the back of her neck, and his side hand firmly locked her chin to prevent her from dodging.
"But it's also thanks to Jiang Jiang."
"...What?"
"The demonic energy and spiritual energy have merged within me."
"Um?"
Jiang Jiang wanted to turn her head in surprise, but he just let her be positioned like this, as if he didn't allow her to turn her head to see the expression on his face.
"My master and I initially thought it was a curse or malicious intent, but we didn't realize it was a regret left by our own kind."
The tribesmen who were slaughtered hoped that he could help them seek revenge. The strong desire before death turned into evil energy and entered his body. Over the years, he had indeed indulged in hatred as they expected.
But after Jiang Jiang appeared, this walking corpse living for revenge also had his own fantasies about the future. Those regrets seemed to be the consciousness of his tribe returning, and they slowly dissipated, giving him room to choose.
After hearing what he said, Jiang Jiang felt mixed emotions.
"But revenge must be taken, and the perpetrators must pay the price."
Her voice was soft but powerful.
Cen Jin chuckled: "Of course."
In fact, after knowing her identity, although I felt a little panic at first because the situation was not under my control, I was relieved afterwards.
Fortunately, she had enough ability to protect herself, so he didn't have to worry too much about her safety.

Two major events have recently occurred in the world of immortal cultivation.
1. It was revealed that the disciple of the leader of Zixiao Sect was actually a member of the demon clan.
Second, her master himself was not clean either. He was actually a descendant of the Xuanlang clan that was exterminated hundreds of years ago. After resigning from the position of the head of the clan, he slaughtered all the participants of that year.
After these two major events almost made headlines in the world of immortal cultivation, the two disappeared from everyone's sight.

Demonic world.
The sky of the demon world is always covered with a layer of dark purple mist, and the blood moon hangs high in the sky, dyeing the entire earth a strange red.
The jagged black stone pillars rose from the ground, piercing the sky like the fangs of a giant beast.
The air is filled with the scent of datura flowers, which is both dangerous and charming.
Jiang Jiang walked barefoot on the hot black gravel, and the silver bells on her ankles made crisp sounds with every step.
She looked exceptionally lively after taking off the uniform of a disciple of Zixiao Sect. She felt at home among the demon clan that she had grown up with.
Behind her, Cen Jin was wearing a black robe, and his silver hair was shining coldly under the blood-red moonlight.
"Is this where you grew up?" Cen Jin looked around, his eyes falling on the towering black palace in the distance.
Jiang Jiang smiled at him, the little corner on his forehead shining: "Why, are you disappointed?"
Cen Jin shook her head: "Very beautiful."
He touched the magic pattern on her forehead with his fingertips and whispered, "Same as you."
Jiang Jiang: “…”
She looked at the scene before her, which looked like an ancient battlefield, and could not associate it with beauty.
I can't even connect with myself.
"Well said. Don't make such associations next time."
Jiang Jiang led him to the distant palace. The demons she met on the way all saluted her respectfully. This was the outskirts of the most prosperous Demon City, with people coming and going in an endless stream. But at this moment, the road automatically made way for them to pass by side by side.
"I didn't expect the demons to be so..." Cen Jin thought for a moment, "There is order."
Jiang Jiang was about to nod.
There was a sound of discussion coming from the side. It could be heard that the two people talking were trying their best to lower their voices, but in their ears it was still no different from loud discussions.
"Who are these two and why should we get out of the way?"
"Keep your voice down, are you trying to kill yourself? That girl is the Demon Lord's favorite daughter. Don't be fooled by her gentle appearance. The last time someone dared to provoke her, they were pinned to the ground with bare hands. You're still nagging here, be careful you get caught."
Jiang Jiang: “…” Damn it, it’s ruining my image.
Cen Jin looked at the hard black rock ground of the Demon Realm and couldn't help laughing.
“…Don’t laugh!”
"Our Jiang Jiang is so amazing."
“…”
Only after leaving the crowd and stepping into the entrance of the Demonic Palace did Cen Jin say seriously, "I'm not joking, Jiang Jiang."
"Having strength is something to be proud of no matter where you are. I also hope that no matter what you face, you will be able to protect yourself."
His eyes were filled with tenderness and a subtle sadness.
Jiang Jiang knew what he remembered.
Even if one has personally avenged all the dead kinsmen, the death of a loved one is still a hurdle that no one can overcome.
