Chapter 178 The child is already so old, let’s talk about it
Meeting the girl's frightened eyes, which were still red, Su Yu finally regained his composure and quickly let go of his hand.
Li Nian was silent for a moment, enduring the pain in his jaw, and said word by word:
"Then what does Master care about? If I hadn't used the Divine Transformation Talisman, Senior Brother, Yu Xia, and even I wouldn't have been able to survive unscathed."
Su Yu closed his eyes, his fingertips trembling under his sleeves. He took a few steps forward, as if to touch the girl's red chin, but Li Nian dodged him.
He put his hand down helplessly, his voice a little hoarse, "...Li'er, that's a hundred years of life, the price is too high..."
Li Nian blinked, suppressing the bitterness in his heart. "Master, for me, as long as I can save them, anything is fine."
Su Yu was stunned. The bitterness in his heart almost overwhelmed him. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Li Nian straightened his back, looked away, and stubbornly refused to admit his mistake.
The room fell into dead silence, the air seemed to be frozen, and suddenly the door was opened.
"Click——"
Shi Zhen walked in and raised his eyebrows after seeing this scene, "Su Yu, the child is already so big, just talk about it."
Su Yu closed his eyes, gathered all his thoughts, and turned his back.
Li Nian blinked, bowed, and said respectfully, "Master, you can punish me in any way you want, but I won't admit my fault."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Shi Zhen smacked his lips and glanced at Su Yu, "Well, now that the child is gone, you should stop pretending to be so profound."
After seeing his friend's cold eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched, "What happened? You actually hit her?"
Su Yu frowned, "I didn't, it's just..."
Shi Zhen glanced at Su Yu, "No?! Then what happened to her chin?"
Su Yu clenched his hands tightly, suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and said with a bit of bitterness
"She used the Divine Transformation Talisman. Every time she used it, she lost a hundred years of her lifespan."
Shi Zhen took a deep breath, "A hundred years?! This girl really doesn't take her life seriously. Will she die young?"
Su Yu circled the light blue teacup with his fingertips, moved his lips, and smiled with a hint of self-deprecation.
"She said that as long as Jiang Yuxia and the others could be saved, anything would be fine. How could I not be angry?"
Shi Zhen sighed softly, "I take back what I said first. I still need to take care of ignorant children. This child has a well-behaved but also stubborn disposition, and doesn't follow the usual path."
Su Yu chuckled softly, but there was a sense of sadness in his eyes. But in that instant, he returned to calm.
On the other side, Li Nian went straight back to her room. As soon as she closed the door, she slid weakly to the ground against the door, her eyes red.
She covered her face with her trembling hands, her lips trembling as she whispered softly, "Why...why, Su Yu likes me? Why would God play such a joke on me?"
She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying, but tears could not stop sliding from the corners of her eyes and flowing into her palms.
That night, although she was unconscious, she was conscious, so she knew about the kiss and heard what Su Yu and Shi Zhen said.
She was not unaware of Su Yu's indulgence and pampering of her in the past, but she had never dared to think about it.
She didn't want to know what had started it.
In her previous life, she loved him madly, and she would be satisfied even if there was only a little response or a little difference.
But Su Yu never gave her any charity, and until the moment before her death, he did not show any pity for her.
In this life, she had never provoked him and truly regarded him as her master, yet he... fell in love with her?!
How ridiculous!
She propped herself up and stood up, walked to the inner room, fell on the bed, and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, as if to hide herself.
Ever since she started practicing ten years ago, she rarely thought about her past life, but everything that happened now made her recall everything.
She was trapped in her own cocoon, pulling herself apart, unable to break free, unable to be saved, and she sank into depravity while conscious, ultimately ending up with the same fate as in her previous life.
Drops of tears fell from her eyes, silently soaking a corner of the quilt.
The girl's soft sobbing could be heard from the mattress, and she calmed down after a long time.
Demon Realm, inside the Demon Lord’s Palace.
A tall man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and his face was distorted and slightly ferocious.
His soul felt a little painful, and Sikong Cangming couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. He looked at his subordinates grimly, and his sinister eyes swept over everyone.
The high-ranking demons below trembled unconsciously and buried their heads even lower, wishing that the Demon Lord would just pretend they didn't exist.
Sikong Cangming tilted his head, "You all buried your heads so low, are you planning to be buried? How about I help you?"
The demon leaders' bodies suddenly stiffened, and they carefully raised their heads a little bit, shaking their heads like rattles.
"Your Majesty, this... we don't need to bother you. Why don't you go to sleep first?" One of them said without thinking.
Ying Feihong was standing at the front. When he heard that, the corner of his mouth twitched and he cursed him in his heart as an idiot.
Sure enough, a cold light flashed in a second, and the man's head fell to the ground. Sikong Cangming was playing with the magic knife in his hand.
"But I want you to sleep first!" Sikong Cangming curled the corners of his lips and spoke slowly.
The man's head rolled to Mo Zuo's feet. When Mo Zuo lowered his head, he met the grinning face and immediately turned away in disgust.
No one dared to breathe. The Demon Lord was always moody, vicious and cruel. Who knew they would be the next one to die?
Sikong Cangming nonchalantly scratched the thin blade with his fingertips, and blood immediately flowed out, smearing on the black robe, inconspicuously.
"Sir, why don't you tell me why things in Misty Moon City turned out like this?"
Ying Feihong moved his fingertips slightly, his eyes flickered, and said respectfully
"Your Majesty, we were originally able to complete this mission, but we were completely defeated by Li Nian. If it weren't for her interference, the Heluo Realm in Wuyue City would have been opened long ago."
Sikong Cangming chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "You mean, a little girl in the Golden Core Stage has tricked you guys around?"
Ying Feihong's face froze for a moment. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed the fact.
If Li Nian had not escaped from the formation and rescued Bai Ji, Qi An and others, the last sacrificial formation would have been completed and the Heluo Realm could have been opened smoothly.
Mo Zuo gritted his teeth and said angrily, "That monk is full of nonsense and her acting is superb. She is really hard to defend against. Why not let my subordinates kill her?"
Sikong Cangming chuckled playfully and looked up at his subordinate, who seemed to have lost his intelligence. "Now?! Are you ready to be beaten to death by Su Yu?"
The left corner of Mo's eye froze, and after moving his lips a few times, he chose to shut up.
