Yan Ying felt uneasy when Cen Ji stared at her. She covered her neck and carefully observed Cen Ji's movements to prevent him from going crazy suddenly.
"You said the other day that you would change my mind...is that true?" Cen Ji suddenly asked.
Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji in confusion and nodded tentatively. This was indeed what she had said, but what did he want to do by asking now...
"I can try to believe you, but you can't let me down, okay?" Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying seriously and said.
What's wrong with this guy? How could he want to strangle her one second and say such things to her the next? What's wrong with him...
[System: The smell of conspiracy~]
Yan Ying swallowed her saliva. She knew it must be a conspiracy, but since he said so, and she was the one who boasted, she could only agree now.
"Okay, I won't let you down." Yan Ying promised.
"You swear." Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with a smile.
Yan Ying really wanted to roll her eyes. Did she have to make this oath?
"I... I swear, if I lie to you, let me... let me..." Yan Ying racked her brain, wondering how to say it without getting struck by lightning.
"There will be no place to bury the dead." Cen Ji said with a smile, his voice was cold and gloomy, making people shiver.
Yan Ying was stunned for a moment. Didn't he ask her to swear? Why did these words coming out of his mouth sound like a modus operandi...
"If I lie to you, let me die without a burial place." Yan Ying had no choice but to repeat.
Oh my God, you didn’t hear…you didn’t hear…you didn’t hear…
[System: The system is heaven. This system has heard it.]
Yan Ying: Go to hell!
Cen Ji pulled Yan Ying up from the ground and looked down at her.
From time to time, the cries of some unknown animal could be heard from the peach forest, which made people feel creepy. Yan Ying subconsciously stood next to Cen Ji.
"Don't you want to know who that was just now?" Cen Ji lowered his head and looked at Yan Ying's expression.
"I...I don't want to!" Yan Ying wasn't a fool. He had almost silenced her just now! How could she dare to ask now?
Cen Ji suddenly lowered his head and leaned it against Yan Ying's ear.
Seeing his actions, Yan Ying dared not move and could only stand there stiffly. She really wanted to cover her ears and eyes.
"He is here to kill me." Cen Ji whispered in Yan Ying's ear.
Yan Ying felt Cen Ji's breath on her face. This posture... was a little wrong... Cen Ji's voice was so close to her that it went straight into her ears, stimulating her so much that her whole body felt numb.
Fortunately, it was dark now, otherwise Cen Ji would have seen her blushing face.
"Why...why did he want to kill you?" Yan Ying stuttered.
"I don't know, but we are in the sect now. He saw someone else, so he didn't attack me. But next time... I won't be so lucky..." Cen Ji said helplessly.
Yan Ying didn't quite believe what he said, but she really couldn't guess who that person was.
At this moment, Yan Ying suddenly remembered the figure she saw during the day, the figure on the roof of Cen Ji's house! She thought she had seen it wrong, but now it seemed that the person was indeed coming for Cen Ji.
It seems he didn't lie to her this time.
Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying expressionlessly. He kept her to see how sincere she was in apologizing. Life was boring anyway, and killing her would only cause more trouble, so he would just play with her slowly.
The person just now was from the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm's Lord died a year ago, and now the Demon Realm is leaderless. They searched for a long time before finding him, and wanted to persuade him to return to the Demon Realm to succeed the throne.
However, the current situation in the Demon Realm is not favorable to him. He can only hide his identity and stay in the sect, practicing magic according to the Demon Realm cultivation book that person gave him, and then return to the Demon Realm when he is capable of standing on his own.
"I will come to see you often in the future. I don't believe anyone dares to do anything in broad daylight! He is so brave. Don't be afraid. If he dares to come again, I will beat him away!" Yan Ying patted Cen Ji's shoulder indignantly and said.
[System: Cen Ji can kill you with just a flick of his finger, why would you need to protect him?]
Yan Ying: Shut up! Why are you everywhere? Go somewhere cool!
[System: Why can’t I tell you… (grievance)]
"good."
Yan Ying looked up at Cen Ji in surprise. He agreed. Why was he so obedient today? Something was wrong with him. According to his way, he should have told her to get lost...
Cen Ji's expression was a little unnatural, there was some sweat on his forehead and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Ying looked up at Cen Ji and asked with concern.
Cen Ji did not respond. The man just now was called Gui Ren, and he was a subordinate of the old master, so he wanted to take Cen Ji back to the Demon Realm. He knew how to repair Cen Ji's damaged spiritual roots.
The people in the Demon Realm are different from ordinary people. They have a unique set of cultivation methods, which are regarded as unorthodox by those who practice immortal cultivation, and they are called demons.
Since Cen Ji is the orphan of the old Lord, his spiritual roots will not be low, so as long as his spiritual roots are repaired, not to mention three years, even one year will be enough for him to be able to return to the Demon Realm and sit on the throne of the Lord.
However, repairing spiritual roots is extremely painful. Gui Ren just tried it once, and now he is a little exhausted.
"It's okay." Cen Ji replied softly.
Yan Ying accompanied Cen Ji back to his room. She looked at Cen Ji's weak and unsteady steps and felt a little confused.
But he definitely wouldn't tell her if she asked, so she didn't ask any more questions.
