Perhaps she wasn't as resolute as she appeared, but that didn't stop Su Linyuan from feeling that Zhu Yi was the bravest girl in his heart.
When they first met, she was severely injured by Li Mei and couldn't get up, but there wasn't a single extra tear in her eyes.
When they met again, they were recuperating together in Lotus Lake. She climbed up and down every day by herself. At first, she didn't even know how to use a water-repelling spell, but now she could quickly master high-level contract spells and kill demonic snakes on a large scale. It has to be said that even I, who prides myself on having cultivation talent, am inferior to her.
Su Linyuan sensed the surging spiritual energy circulating around Zhu Yi and vaguely felt that something had gone out of control.
Zhu Yi slashed her palm hard with the Heartbreak Sword, the blood gushing out and dripping into the small jade bottle. "You better behave yourself. Now you only have two choices: one, listen to me and serve me as your master; two, tell me yourself, do you want to be burned to ashes to feed the chickens or burned to ashes to fertilize Little Peach Blossom?"
The eight tiny tentacles felt hot. A fire lotus rose slowly from Zhu Yi's hand holding the jade bottle. The pure fire spirit energy and the ghost fire of the underworld intertwined continuously. The little insect was in a world of ice and fire, and its whole body was in unbearable pain.
The little guy grinned, his expression a bit smug.
It shuddered all over, perhaps shocked by Zhu Yi's terrifying aura at this moment, and forgot that it was originally going to fight. As a result, it opened its mouth and drank the blood in the bottle clean.
"Serve me as your master, do not harm others, and be a worm that can detoxify!"
The little bug nodded repeatedly, afraid that if it was any later it would be burned to ashes by Zhu Yi.
"Su Linyuan, we're about to do something very righteous. I'm going to go on a killing spree! Make it clear first, you need to protect yourself and record this!" Zhu Yi said in an extremely serious tone, placing a recording stone in the man's large hand.
Zhu Yi found Zhu Qianying by a large lake in Qingyuan Mountain.
Zhu Qianying's eyes were bloodshot as she manipulated the Heart-Eating Poisonous Insects, drawing upon the evil energy of her zombie aunt to gradually refine Shangguan Wenqi.
When Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan arrived, they saw Shangguan Wenqi with a face full of shock, anger, resentment, hatred, and regret. All these expressions were mixed together, clearly indicating that he had been caught off guard by Zhu Qianying on his way back.
"I say, you're really vicious, aren't you? He protected you all the way, and you didn't even leave him a proper burial?" Zhu Yi couldn't understand. She tried her best to avoid conflict with Zhu Qianying, so why was she still so relentless?
Although Zhu Yi had the idea of getting rid of Zhu Qianying, it was just a thought, wasn't it?
Besides, she had so many things to do along the way, so there was no need for her to play this pointless game of jealousy and rivalry with Zhu Qianying.
"You! I treated you... well!" Shangguan Wenqi, whose consciousness had not completely faded, managed to utter a few words. Although they were incomplete, Zhu Yi could still roughly guess what they were.
I've treated you so well, how could you do this to me?
Perhaps this is what Shangguan Wenqi wanted to say!
Zhu Qianying shook her head slightly, her smile twisted into a grimace: "What's the point of keeping someone who's useless around?"
"Throughout this journey, you've treated me with disdain because my face was injured. Since you're no longer willing to be kind to me, then let your death be more meaningful!"
The zombie aunt's remaining life force was rapidly declining. The twenty-five zombies behind Zhu Yi were anxious. Zhu Yi said coldly, "You cultivate evil Gu, aren't you afraid of being devoured by it?"
"You bitch, I'll use this Heart-Corroding Poisonous Insect on you in a moment. Aren't you lucky to have such a good opportunity? Aren't you lucky to have such a good master? Aren't you lucky to have Su Linyuan protecting you?"
"And then what? I'm just a fairy blessed by Lady Luck, and you can't compare to me. What can you do about it?" Zhu Yi looked at Zhu Qianying with the kind of look one would give someone an idiot.
In Su Linyuan's eyes, Zhu Yi was serious yet cunning. The little girl was really... always had a very confident air about her, but he didn't want to deny that this was true of Xi Xi.
"I don't understand. You killed Shangguan Wenqi to frame me? But did you ever consider that the Zhu family would become enemies with the Shangguan family because of this? You don't even like me, and you actually want to drag the whole family into the mess you made. You really don't know how lucky you are to be so pampered!"
"Huh? As long as I do a good enough job, the Shangguan family will definitely hunt you down no matter what. Zhu Yi, my Gu worms are so rare that even the entire cultivation world has a hard time finding an antidote."
Shangguan Wenqi had been almost completely refined. At this moment, his eyes were vacant, his whole body was stiff, and his once fair and handsome hands that held a sword were now covered with bluish-black nails, his hair was disheveled, and his face was ashen. Zhu Yi knew that there was no hope for him.
In a moment of daze, Zhu Yi saw herself in her past life's dream, the moment when Zhu Qianying refined her into an Asura puppet. The pain, like ten thousand ants gnawing at her heart, overwhelmed her.
Zhu Qianying summoned back the Heart-Eating Poisonous Insects. Under the cover of night, the insects hid in the soil and slowly crawled toward Zhu Yi.
"You're hopeless."
Zhu Yi said calmly, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."
