"It's just that each of us gets what we need." Cheng Bang said with a wry smile.
He feared the lingering, heavy scent of death emanating from Circe, yet he seemed captivated by everything about her: her eyes, her lips, the inadvertent charm that emanated from her every gesture. The world's first witch, revered by all, like the Lord of Darkness, towering above them all. Yet, her body was as solitary as a mountain, as majestic as a jade mountain about to collapse. As she spoke, she evoked a thousand emotions, a natural charm evident in her brows.
Such a beauty, imprisoned in the dark and gloomy Demon Realm, left to decay and erode. After finally escaping, she encountered the Demon Lord, leaving her in utter disarray, forced to live in fear. Even if she escaped to the Witch Land, the land would be completely transformed, no longer a place she could rule.
How could she not hate it!
Cheng Bang understood her hatred, hating her as much as he hated himself. He hated her for restricting him in every way, and he hated his own inadequacy. In this empathy, he felt a sense of mutual admiration, even beyond his infatuation. They were so alike, a match made in heaven. He lost himself in this sense of "divine providence," oblivious to the danger and uncontrollability of Circe, and overlooked the fact that it was all just wishful thinking.
Cersei wants revenge, on the vampires, on the elves, and on all those who imprisoned her in the Demon Realm.
Cheng Bang wants to achieve immortality, and his research targets all of Sersi's enemies.
The two hit it off immediately, no deal needed.
"Where is she now?" Luo Youyou was still breathing hard, and her restrained voice was like a ghost hand reaching out from the ghost realm, strangling the throat, which frightened anyone who heard it.
"have no idea."
"You still want to protect her?" Luo Youyou's brows were filled with even more anger.
"No, no." Cheng Bang covered his chest with one hand and waved the other like a windshield wiper. "I really don't know where she is. She comes and goes freely in my place and never tells me where she's going."
Cheng Bang understood that no matter how deep the infatuation was, it was not worth mentioning in the face of life and death. If the body and soul were dead, what was the point of being infatuated or not? Only being alive was the greatest meaning.
"But you can't kill her," Cheng Bang saw everyone's faces change before he finished the second half of his sentence. Before they could say anything, he hurriedly added, "If you kill her, Luo Yun's body will be her final resting place. She will spare no effort to occupy that body and speed up the devouring process."
Luo Youyou's expression eased. This suggestion sounded quite reasonable. The old man in front of him was indeed afraid of death. If Sersi wanted his life, he would never protect her again.
"Is there any way to strip her soul away?"
Cheng Bang thought for a moment, "Unless you go to the spiritual world of that body and kill her, but..."
"Stop dawdling, if you have to fart, do it now!" Mu Yaxi couldn't help but curse again.
"Luo Yun only has half a soul. If Sersi's other half is killed, the soul will not be able to support a body. She may die... or... become stupid."
Luo Youyou snorted coldly, "You really made a good move!"
"What should we do now?" Cheng Bang asked back.
"Are you asking me?" If he wasn't still useful, Luo Youyou really wanted to crush him to death. "Let me ask you again, what kind of poison did you give the vampires? How do you cure it?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Cheng Bang's eyes when he heard this. This was his last bargaining chip, which would save his life at the critical moment. He didn't want to hand it over so quickly.
Luo Youyou saw his hesitation and said, "It's my father and Sersi who want you dead. Don't forget, they don't care about the life and death of the vampires. You can either detoxify the vampires honestly, or you can fend for yourself."
Cheng Bang felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over him, chilling him to the bone. Yes, Barro and Circe didn't care about the vampires' lives. Besides, only a small portion of the vampires had been poisoned. Even if they all died, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the vampires. What leverage did he have? None! What else could he rely on?
He looked up at Luo Youyou. Although this person was also very dangerous, he was the last straw he could grasp.
"I don't know how to detoxify."
"What did you say?" Jing Yan was furious. He grabbed his neck in an instant, with a raging fire burning in his eyes.
Cheng Bang coughed a few times due to being pinched, twisted his body to try to break free from Jing Yan's hand, "Listen...listen...listen to me..."
Jing Yan let him go. Cheng Bang's face turned pale and he coughed violently before continuing, "Although the blood we drew from the Demon Lord's body was deliberately stripped of its power by him, he is still the Demon Lord after all. Even if he considers the blood powerless, it is a power that we cannot control."
"Cersi appeared at this time. She told me that the blood of Blood Father, Blood Ancestor and Blood Host is a deadly poison to the blood clan. In fact, we don't need to do anything. Cersi just uses a spell to make the blood of the Demon Lord conceal the smell so that the blood clan can't detect it. What I can do is to dilute this blood infinitely, make it more, and maintain enough lethality." Cheng Bang's voice became smaller and smaller. He was afraid that he would be strangled by the throat again at the end of his words, and he quietly took two steps back.
Luo Youyou's expression was solemn. Her blood father was Lilith, her blood ancestor was Barlow, and her blood sib was herself. Her blood had once killed Elder Boris, who treated Jing Yan like his own son, but if ingested in small quantities, it wouldn't be fatal. The blood of three generations of blood father, blood ancestor, and blood sib could be poison or medicine to each other, depending on their wishes. However, their blood was poison to vampires from the fourth generation onwards. No wonder Barlow had stopped her from donating blood to the Nofel clan.
"Take out the blood sample." Mu Yaxi extended his hand to Cheng Bang.
Cheng Bang didn't actually get much blood. If he was going to poison so many vampires, then Barlow's blood would have been diluted to the point where even his own mother wouldn't recognize him. A blood sample diluted to this extent had already claimed so many lives. It seemed like Circe was hiding something from him.
"Take out both those that have been cursed and those that have not." Mu Yaxi added.
Cheng Bang called two men in white coats over, and soon they came with two transparent containers and respectfully handed them to Mu Yaxi.
Mu Yaxi leaned over and sniffed, finding both samples odorless. She then handed them to Luo Youyou, who sniffed them, and sure enough, both samples were odorless. The blood Barlow had given her was already odorless, and Cheng Bang and the other foolish humans had assumed they couldn't smell it because their sense of smell was insensitive.
Luo Youyou dipped her slender fingers into the uncursed blood sample and tasted it. There was no taste...
