Chapter 536 He has no selfish feelings towards her
Jing Zhui's brow furrowed with wrinkles: "Did Zhu Chuideng look for you?"
Ye Xiaoman was just gambling that Jing Zhui's intelligence network could not track Zhu Chuideng's whereabouts, and that Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng would never communicate with each other.
Ye Xiaoman asked back: "Don't you know?"
Jing Zhui's micro-expression showed that he really didn't know, and Ye Xiaoman was secretly happy.
She added the details: "After you left during the day, the Ghost Master came looking for me right after."
Her brows were furrowed even more tightly than Jing Zhui's, and she looked even more cynical. She cleverly shifted all the problems onto him, "Did you mention coming to find me when you were fighting the Ghost Lord?"
Ye Xiaoman observed Jing Zhui's puzzled expression and slapped her thigh. "You said that? That's right, you aroused the ghost master's vigilance, so he came to me to retrieve the ashes in advance."
Jing Zhui wasn't someone who could be easily fooled, especially since he had seen Ye Xiaoman lie without blinking an eye. He was skeptical, "Really?"
"How could I lie to you?"
Ye Xiaoman sighed deeply, her eyebrows drooping into sad frowns, like a hamster whose home had been emptied.
She danced with her hands and feet and wrote a whole process for Jing Zhui.
"When Zhu Chuideng came looking for me, I resisted desperately at first. I covered my body with explosive talismans and told him, 'Master Ghost Lord, please don't force me. Please don't force me. I'm just one of the most loyal subordinates of the Demon Lord.'"
"He interrupted me, saying, 'Don't you know Jing Zhui is a great demon, and anyone in the world has the right to kill him?' I waved him off, saying, 'The Demon God will always be my idol. How can a mere ghost master like you understand the ambitions of a god? I won't allow you to insult him.'"
When Jing Zhui heard this, he looked at Ye Xiaoman with satisfaction and motioned her to continue.
"Zhu Chuideng rushed forward and used violence to grab the urn."
"I have issued an ultimatum with all due respect. If you continue like this, I will perish with you, holding your urn."
"Die together?" Jing Zhui leaned closer, his nose almost touching hers before stopping. "Why are you still here?"
"Oh," Ye Xiaoman sighed, "He put the knife to my neck in advance, what can I do?"
Jing Zhui frowned, "He threatened you with a knife?"
Ye Xiaoman immediately pulled down her collar and pointed at the nonexistent scar on her neck. "Yes, look, there's a cut."
Although Jing Zhui's sharp eyesight didn't reveal any injuries, Ye Xiaoman looked at him with tears in her eyes, her little face was pale, and she looked sick and wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. She was afraid that it didn't seem like she was faking it.
He chose to believe her, and a strange anger suddenly flowed through his heart, "I will settle the score with him."
"No, no," Ye Xiaoman quickly pulled him back, stroking his abdominal muscles to help him breathe. "It's all in the past. You're no match for the Ghost Lord now. I don't want to see you get hurt."
Jing Zhui was silent for a while, and his inexplicable impulsive behavior finally settled down. He regained his rationality and realized belatedly that he was obsessed with Zhu Chuideng's obsession with Ye Xiaoman.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and cast a suspicious glance at Ye Xiaoman's face, "Zhu Chuideng loves you very much, how could he bully you?"
“Maybe love will disappear.”
Ye Xiaoman glanced at him lightly, "Zhu Chuideng was in a dreamland. When she was young and ignorant, she got carried away and called me 'Auntie' a few times, and she thought it was love."
"Afterwards, he woke up and immediately dismissed what had happened as a dream. Later, I had a conflict of interest with him, and he immediately turned on me."
"Compared to his ambitions for dominance, someone like me is nothing."
"Speaking of which, men are such heartless and heartless creatures."
Jing Zhui listened to Ye Xiaoman's scolding, and it seemed that it was not just Zhu Chuideng who was scolding her.
Jing Zhui found it tricky.
His ambition was not willing to give up. If he could take over the ghost world, it would speed up his resurrection plan and provide a steady supply of resources to support the army.
The demons have the ambition to destroy the world and have a set of rules with clear rewards and punishments.
Jing Zhui was a man of his word, both during his lifetime and in his death, and no one could fool him.
In the past, if someone in the organization stole the spoils, the demons would first search their soul. If nothing was found, they would extract their soul and torture them severely until their soul was completely destroyed and they would confess.
But he was unwilling to treat Ye Xiaoman like this.
Not influenced by his childhood memories, he felt that Ye Xiaoman was a loyal subordinate who was very capable. He valued her talent and did not want to hurt her.
Frequent soul searches are detrimental to the spirit, and the soul extraction process is extremely painful. She is so weak that she cannot withstand even the slightest pain. She may die during the soul extraction process before she can be interrogated.
Well, he really just cares about talented people. It doesn't mean he has any thoughts about her that go beyond the relationship between superiors and subordinates. That's absolutely true.
Jing Zhui chose the mildest interrogation method.
"Let me check your storage bag."
Ye Xiaoman was very well-behaved. She knelt on the bed with a quilt wrapped around her. Without any resistance, she took out her precious storage bag, divided it into two rows, and neatly stacked it in front of Jing Zhui.
Jing Zhui was very familiar with the colorful storage bag. He often saw Ye Xiaoman take it out to count her belongings.
There is a mustard seed space inside the storage bag. Although it looks small, the storage space of each bag is amazing. A giant monster like a Taotie the size of a hill will only take up a part of the space if thrown in.
When one storage bag is full, she will replace it with the next one. An ordinary cultivator will use one storage bag for most of his life, but Ye Xiaoman can take out eight.
He didn't expect that she had been out in the world for less than a year and had already amassed a huge fortune by selling fish in the pond.
He shouldn't call her hamster, he should call her Fortune-Attracting Pixiu.
Jing Zhui picked up a heavy bag at random and said, "Open it."
Ye Xiaoman input spiritual energy, the master recognition array was lifted, the bag opening was loosened, and a blinding golden light rushed out. Jing Zhui did not pour out all the treasures to check, but directly released his spiritual sense to search.
Ye Xiaoman closely watched his every move, and was worried that he would take the opportunity to steal her treasures.
"No."
Jing Zhui threw the storage bag back to Ye Xiaoman and checked the next one.
In the second bag, he found his green marrow bone ring.
On the day of the duel with the Taotie beast, he escaped with Ye Xiaoman and was able to open the passage to his tomb.
Ye Xiaoman generously returned the ring to Jing Zhui and personally helped him put it on his little finger, saying, "It's back to its rightful owner."
As soon as he put the ring on his hand, he knew it was a high-quality fake.
Not to mention that there is no perfect substitute for the precious chalcedony, which is several grades lower. Ye Xiaoman has not completed the construction yet, and the ring is not polished properly, so there are some thorns on the surface. As for the functions of the supreme magic weapon, it does not have any of them.
Jing Zhui raised his eyebrows slightly. He was looking at him stealthily from the corner of his eyes. When he met his gaze, he immediately retracted his gaze and sat up straight.
Jing asked, "Did you make this yourself?"
Ye Xiaoman was furious and said, "What do you mean I did it, you did it? This is your original one!"
"Yeah." Jing Zhui did not expose Ye Xiaoman and put the ring on.
Zhu Chuideng has already known his secret and will try every means to seize his magic weapon. It is safer to put the treasure in Ye Xiaoman's hands for safekeeping.
