Chapter 123: Junior Sister is the Favorite of the Three Realms (23)
Ever since Qiao Xi realized that humans and demons cannot coexist.
She had already begun to distance herself from him, but Zhu Jintang would rather she knew her identity than keep the girl in the dark like Gui Chaohuan did.
He disdains to do that.
If she wants to accept him, then naturally she should let Qiao Xi accept his original self.
He used his own life essence and blood to form seals for her.
He had long since determined that the Holy Body of Heaven was his exclusive possession, and naturally would not allow anyone else to touch it. Even Yu Jingxiao could not do anything to him.
The girl had thought about revealing his identity before.
only.
After he threatened the entire sect, Qiao Xi had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it silently. Only sacrificing herself could ensure the safety of everyone in the sect.
The majority and the minority are placed on the scales.
As long as this kind-hearted and sensible girl remains sober, she will know what to choose.
Without a doubt.
Qiao Xi's choice did not disappoint him. Yu Jingxiao had also discovered the Dharma bodies of him and Gui Chaohuan.
But what’s the use even if the Dharma body is destroyed?
Their original bodies were in the distant demon and monster worlds, and they could condense this Dharma body at any time. They possessed hundreds or even thousands of Dharma bodies, so even if they were destroyed, they could still disguise themselves and sneak back in.
There is no point in doing this.
Before this, Yu Jingxiao also went to the Demon Realm to fight him.
If he were in other places, Zhu Jintang might have temporarily avoided the limelight. After all, compared with Yu Jingxiao, his cultivation was slightly inferior.
But this is in the demon world.
As the supreme ruler of the demon world, he has unique advantages.
The rich demonic energy of the entire demon world was all at his disposal, and the battle with Yu Jingxiao ended in a draw. After that, he also discovered the time limit for him to infuse Qiao Xi with demonic energy.
It has changed to every other year.
This magic seal can only be removed by him personally, or if Qiao Xi's cultivation level exceeds his.
But is that possible? He won't let that day come.
After meeting Zhu Jintang's cold gaze, the girl discovered the undercurrent beneath his calm surface. She quickly withdrew her hand and quickly distanced herself from Gui Chaohuan.
"Senior Brother Zhou..."
Qiao Xi's eyes seemed to be avoiding, she knew that Zhu Jintang's original identity was the Demon Lord.
But Senior Brother Gui is just an ordinary disciple.
If the Demon Lord killed him in a rage and implicated Senior Brother Gui, then...
Think of this.
Her expression turned grim, and she forced a smile. She looked at Gui Chaohuan with a sad gaze, trying to calm her trembling voice.
"Brother Gui, can you please go back first?"
You can see the pain and reluctance deep in her beautiful eyes, as well as the reluctance and deep affection hidden deep inside.
Gui Chaohuan was stunned.
The girl thought her cover-up was perfect, but it couldn't escape his eyes at all.
Qiao Xi...has feelings for him?
Yes, everything he did in these six years was just to gain her heart and trust.
And now it is exactly as he wished.
The girl looked at Zhu Jintang walking towards her, her hands hanging by her sides even tightening around the hem of her skirt. Her white knuckles showed how hard she was exerting herself, and also how nervous Qiao Xi was.
But even so.
But the girl was still looking at him quietly with anxious eyes, urging him to leave quickly.
Gui Chaohuan understood it very well.
Qiao Xi was clearly attracted to him, but because of Zhu Jintang's appearance, she didn't dare to be too intimate with him.
Gui Chaohuan had discovered it long ago.
Qiao Xi seemed to be very afraid of Zhu Jintang, but for some reason he was unwilling to say it. He had asked before.
But whenever it is mentioned.
The girl just shook her head silently and said nothing in the end.
Later, he didn't care about it anymore. After all, he just wanted to gain Qiao Xi's trust. Of course, it would be even better if the girl could fall in love with him.
But now…
As soon as Zhu Jintang came over, he grabbed Qiao Xi's wrist and roughly pulled her away from Gui Chaohuan.
The girl looked terrified and struggled violently.
But before she could resist for long, the demonic seal on her neck suddenly grew scorching hot. A faint demonic energy seeped out and flowed into her limbs, attempting to penetrate her veins.
A strong feeling of rejection came over me instantly.
The girl's face instantly turned pale. Faced with such a blatant threat, it seemed that she had no power to fight back at all.
She settled down again.
She didn't dare to struggle anymore, but just lowered her head, bit her lips and said nothing.
Gui Chaohuan's eyes sank slightly.
Although Zhu Jintang had controlled her and stopped her from struggling, the pent-up anger in his chest did not dissipate, and instead made him feel even more angry.
"Do you think Gui Chaohuan is a good person?"
Zhu Jintang's eyes were sharp. He raised his hand and clamped Qiao Xi's chin, forcing the girl to look up at him.
The next moment.
He caught Qiao Xi's panicked gaze and saw the girl's beautiful tearful eyes.
A little unwilling.
But this feeling quickly disappeared.
"I know very well how Senior Brother Gui treats me."
Zhu Jintang looked at Qiao Xi, whose eyes were red but she was still staring at him, as if she was protecting Gui Chaohuan. He felt even more ironic in his heart.
"Really? Did he ever tell you—"
The man leaned over to the girl's ear, and his low and hoarse voice slowly revealed the cruel truth.
"He is the Demon King."
The four light words made the girl feel as if she had suffered a severe blow in an instant. Her whole body stiffened and tensed up immediately.
Zhu Jintang let go of her chin.
Enjoy appreciating the girl's shock and disbelief at this moment.
Her pretty face was pale, and the light in her eyes was gradually dimming. But she didn't believe it all, and hope was still struggling in her eyes.
What the demons say cannot be trusted, not to mention that he is the Demon Lord.
The girl seemed to have figured this out.
Qiao Xi's resisting gaze fell on Zhu Jintang.
It seemed as if she was trying to tell from his expression whether he was trying to sow discord.
This is so naive.
Zhu Jintang could hardly suppress a few low laughs. The only person he trusted and perhaps even admired was actually the Demon King, who was irreconcilable with the human race.
But it's really ironic.
Zhu Jintang did not give her any extra hope.
The man laughed, completely crushing her last ray of hope: "Do you think I would lie to you with my identity?"
The Demon Lord is so proud and arrogant, how could he deceive her with such a thing?
But he is the enemy.
What if it was intentional?
The girl's heart was also struggling, and she subconsciously cast her eyes not far behind her. She was looking at the senior brother who had just confessed his love to her and wanted to become her Taoist partner.
It's like looking for the last straw.
"Brother Gui, what he said is false, right?"
As long as senior brother nods.
Then the Demon Lord’s lies will be self-defeating.
However, to the girl's surprise, Brother Gui, who in her impression was a playboy but treated her very gently, showed a look of disappointment and boredom at this moment.
It was like I suddenly lost all interest.
The gentle-looking young man shrugged indifferently.
He maintained his usual frivolous attitude, but the words he said completely extinguished Qiao Xi's hopes.
"That's not nice of you. How could you expose my past?"
Now I can see some clues.
Zhu Jintang obviously took action before him, and the little girl probably also knew his identity.
No wonder he was so scared.
but.
Gui Chaohuan didn't care about the girl who was in despair at all.
The six years of memories are very precious to Qiao Xi, but to him, they are just a blink of an eye.
Gui Chaohuan withdrew his gaze.
When he looked at Qiao Xi again, the bright smile on his handsome face seemed to deeply hurt the girl's heart when it caught Qiao Xi's eyes.
"Sorry, Junior Sister, what he said is true."
