Chapter 66 The inner demon is really a...
Humans are really complex creatures.
The system quietly watched Li Liumei, who was curled up on the ground in pain, covering her heart and wailing in despair.
She was like a mother animal that had lost all her cubs.
But isn't this her choice?
She has a choice, even after accepting herself, she still has a choice.
As long as she cuts off the connection with herself, the thunder tribulation will stop, she will die, and will no longer be able to become an immortal, but her children will not die.
But she still chose to become an immortal.
The system has been bound to many hosts and has felt many, many emotions.
This made it start thinking about some issues that it would not have thought about before.
For example, is Li Liumei’s sadness real?
This was not a very important question for it, but it was very curious.
After thinking for a while, it came to a conclusion.
Li Liumei really loves her children, and her sadness is not fake.
Even though she was selfish and chose to let those people die in order to become an immortal, she should also love them.
Since there is love and guilt, there will be inner demons.
The system is very happy to see Li Liumei’s inner demon.
Because one thing the system is very good at is amplifying and manipulating the host's inner demons.
Having inner demons means having weaknesses that can be manipulated by the system.
Even if Li Liumei is determined to break the contract, the system can use its inner demons to fight against her and devour her.
The system looked at Li Liumei who was gradually blending into the city, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
No matter what she did, the final outcome would not change.
Another "system" seemed to have problems, and they themselves seemed to have consumed too much energy because of something.
But it doesn’t matter. “He” is still young at this time, and his cultivation is not very high. Once its body recovers its strength, there is still time to find a way to deal with him.
Thinking of this, the system magnified Li Liumei's inner demon.
But this time, it was completely stunned.
Black mist covered Li Liumei's body, her eyes turned scarlet, and her originally gentle and kind expression became particularly hideous and terrifying.
But it can't control her inner demons? !
How is this possible?
But soon, the system realized the problem.
It was wrong from the beginning. Li Liumei's inner demon was not her dead family!
She had never felt guilty or painful for their deaths!
Without pain, there would be no inner demons.
Why? Why? Why?
The system couldn't believe that it had chosen the wrong person.
She is a gentle, timid, kind woman.
Such a woman, even if she had selfish motives, could not help but feel pain over the death of her family.
What's more, they died because of her!
But time did not allow it to think any more. The city lord's body, spiritual power and even soul were constantly surging until they merged into one with the city.
"You betrayed me! You traitor!"
The city lord showed a cold smile on his face: "What are you talking about? I almost misunderstood that we are really friends."
She is a livestock raised by the system, but who says that livestock cannot bite back at their owners?
"You...don't even think about having an easy time!" The system let out a final, angry roar.
It can no longer eat the city lord. Its power has been completely exhausted and it may disappear at any time.
But before it disappeared, it used all its strength to infinitely magnify the city lord's inner demon.
"Your city will be destroyed, and your soul will be shattered!"
These were the last words the city lord heard before he was completely consumed by the nightmare from the past.
.......
"Go buy me some lanterns!" Mo Beixing ordered Fu Xuzhi in a bossy manner: "I want the rabbit one, the lotus one, and the magpie one!"
"Okay." Fu Xuzhi agreed one by one: "Is there anything else you want?"
"That's all for now. I'm going to go over there and play first. Come find me when you get it." The rabbit lantern can only be obtained by participating in a competition. Mo Beixing was not interested in the competition. After assigning the task to Fu Xu, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
But the moment he turned around, the smile on Fu Xuzhi's face froze.
Slowly, that smile disappeared completely.
He stood there quietly, pretending not to notice the growing black air that was almost spreading to the entire town. He just raised his head and looked at the rabbit lantern high above.
Beixing said he wanted the rabbit lantern.
After turning around, Mo Beixing immediately ran towards the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as the black gas started to spread, he realized something was wrong.
His directness told him that this was definitely not a simple inner demon.
It has already erupted, the city lord will definitely go crazy.
Although she has passed on most of her power to Qingluan, a demon-possessed cultivator in the fusion stage can be considered a disaster for Qingyang City.
Mo Beixing likes Qingyang City very much and he doesn't want the city to be destroyed.
He also liked the city lord very much, so he couldn't just watch her go astray.
Even if she died, she shouldn't have died like this.
As for Fu Xuzhi?
Mo Beixing didn't hate Fu Xuzhi, but he hated Fu Xuzhi's contemptuous attitude towards Qingyang City Lord's inner demon.
The inner demon is never something funny or interesting, nor is it a means for him to please himself.
What's more, this is a major event that could threaten the lives of everyone in the city.
The white-haired boy turned into a fluffy off-white puppy and jumped lightly into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Bai Zhi was standing upright at the door, sticking to her post.
Her cultivation was not very high, so she neither noticed Mo Beixing nor anything unusual in the City Lord's Mansion.
This was an extremely beautiful and ordinary day for her.
Mo Beixing sighed softly in his heart, but he did not stop. He ran madly towards the innermost part of the City Lord's Mansion with his four short legs.
That's where the city lord is.
Besides Mo Beixing, the first person to discover this was Qingluan.
She obtained Qingyang City and became the true lord of Qingyang City. She was always the first to know about things in the city.
Nothing can be hidden from her eyes.
But before the frightened Qingluan rushed to the city lord and asked her why she wanted to integrate into the city, the city lord's inner demon reappeared.
When she stood in front of the city lord, what she saw was an old woman with disheveled hair, black air all over her body, and bloodshot eyes.
The old woman was just standing there at first, but when she saw Qingluan appear, the red light in her eyes suddenly brightened. She twisted her body, her face showing a distorted and ferocious expression, and she stretched out her long, soft, vine-like hands and pounced towards Qingluan.
Qingluan did not move, nor did she launch any attack on the old woman in front of her. She did not even dodge, but just looked at the old woman with fear and sadness.
The pair of hands that were more than ten meters long instantly appeared in front of Qingluan, and were about to grab her face in almost the next moment.
Qingluan opened her eyes wide and looked at the hands.
But those hands did not hurt her. They gently stroked Qingluan's hair and cheeks, just as they did when Qingluan was very young.
"City Lord..." Tears fell from Qingluan's eyes. She looked at the old woman in front of her: "Why so fast? You didn't even give me a little time to say goodbye."
She still looked so twisted and terrifying, but when those scarlet eyes looked at Qingluan, there was a hint of confused tenderness.
Qingluan's nose felt slightly sour. She stammered and called the city lord again: "City lord, I am Qingluan, you...you wake up, okay?"
The city lord did not speak, nor did he hurt Qingluan. He just looked at her quietly with a cold and bloodthirsty murderous intent.
"City Lord, Qingluan's life was given by you. If you want it, take it." Qingluan smiled softly. She closed her eyes again, waiting for the city lord's next move.
The city lord is not her mother.
But the city lord is like her mother.
She had hated the city lord, resented the city lord, but she had also always...loved the city lord.
If it were based on filial piety in the mortal world, it would seem that there was nothing wrong with her returning her life to her mother.
"Sister Qingluan, be careful!"
As the young man exclaimed, Qingluan was pushed aside by a great force.
And at that moment, the remaining tenderness in the city lord's eyes completely disappeared.
She looked at the boy who had transformed from a puppy expressionlessly and gave a weird smile.
