As soon as she finished speaking, Cen Jin's stiff arm moved suddenly, then slowly rose up, and then he tore off the dodder attached to his body and pushed her to the ground without mercy.
"Brother Cen...Brother Cen Jin, Brother Cen Jin, what's wrong with you? Is it, is it this vicious witch who did this to you—"
"Shut up!"
It is hard to imagine that Cen Jin, who also observes gentlemanly etiquette, could have such an inappropriate side.
But it’s no wonder that it’s hard for anyone to maintain an optimistic attitude when their life is in danger.
Cuscuta was stunned for a moment, then seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes became fierce, as if he had made some important decision!
"Don't waste your energy."
He sneered, not sure if he was laughing at her or at himself.
His voice was filled with sorrow as he said calmly, "The parasitic thread you planted in my heart has been controlled by the leader of the gods. You can't kill me..."
"You...what did you say...Brother Cen Jin, it must be her trick. Did she do something to you?" Dodder stepped forward unwillingly and grabbed his sleeve, asking again and again.
Noticing something strange on his sleeve, Cen Jin could no longer bear it and said—
"That's enough! Do you think you'll admit it until I pull out the evidence and put it in front of you?"
As he spoke, he swung his hand and stabbed it directly into his heart. Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone, he pulled out a green dodder from the flesh bit by bit...
"Look what this is!"
He threw the dead parasitic silk in front of her, his handsome face filled with anger.
"Why! Tell me why! Have I ever hurt you?! Why did you do this?!"
He leaned down, approaching her little by little, looking at her pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, but he could no longer muster up a trace of pity:
"When? Tell me, when did it happen? I've always been protecting you and helping you, but you want me to die?"
"I...I...no, I was framed...Yes, I was framed-ah!"
She screamed, holding her chest and gasping for breath.
"You mean, I framed you?" Shen Wuyu looked down at her condescendingly and laughed emotionlessly.
"Look, my parasitic seeds are much more powerful than yours. Do I need to frame you?
"You said I wanted to trick everyone into coming to the ghost tribe and trade with them...
"But do you think I need to lie?"
Her voice was cold, like the biting cold wind that made people's hair stand on end and their hearts chill.
Indeed...she is the only Xuan-level demon here.
Even the weakest plant monsters can be wiped out with just one parasitic seed!
Before Cuscuta could recover from the shock, he suddenly felt as if his heart was being squeezed and clenched in someone's hand. The pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.
"Tell me, why do you keep pushing us to become slaves of the human race?"
"I didn't—Ah!"
"Ask again, why?"
"I said I didn't—Ah!"
"Since you want to die so badly, I might as well fulfill your wish and kill you."
Just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly heard Dodder's unwilling roar:
"You've been forced to confess!"
"Hey~ You know this? It seems you learned a lot from the human race~"
Shen Wuyou narrowed his eyes and smiled, then suddenly looked at her coldly, his voice as if chilled by ice:
"Then you should also know that even if I beat you to death, you deserve it!"
"You can't do that!"
She panicked and looked for a demon who could help her, but she despairingly discovered that all the demons no longer looked at her with kind eyes.
"You can't do this..." She first lowered her head dejectedly, then suddenly raised it up, a fierce look flashing in her innocent eyes——
"You'll regret this!"
"oh."
Shen Wuyou saw that she was not going to talk anymore, so he ignored her and waved his hand to cast a barrier around her. He then turned his eyes to Cen Jin who was secretly worried and asked:
"Are you okay?"
"...No...Thanks for the rescue, leader..."
He bowed to her as a sign of genuine respect.
Throughout his life, he had always been polite and gentle to others, and the demons he encountered were all kind, so naturally he believed what Dodder said. However, he never expected that his credulity would almost lead to a huge mistake.
He feels guilty and blames himself.
"Cen Jin is guilty. He wronged the leader and nearly caused everyone to fall into the hands of the human race again. Cen Jin knows his fault and has been a demon. Today, he commits suicide to apologize for his sins. I hope to make amends..."
Shen Wuyou blinked, a little confused.
No, how did it rise to this level?
Suddenly, Cen Jin's right hand transformed into a feather, and the next moment, it stabbed into his heart without mercy.
“Wait!”
Shen Wuyou quickly stopped him and dislocated his right arm.
He looked at her blankly.
She blinked a little guiltily, then looked at him seriously and coughed:
"Well, well, that's enough. There's no need to waste a life in vain. If you really want to make amends, you have to live well first, do your best to help and protect everyone, instead of...seeking death like this."
She didn't expect that the White Crane Demon had such a stubborn personality. Is it okay for him to die to apologize for his crimes at any time?
With a stern look on her face, she scolded him, and after seeing that the wound on his chest had almost healed, she left him alone.
