The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 19 Twilight Town 12

In the dead of night, deep in the deserted mountains, two figures, one white and one black, were locked in a fierce battle in the air.

The black and white figures seemed to represent good and evil, but unfortunately, good triumphed over evil. The man in black was pierced by a gun and fell straight to the ground, the immense force creating a large crater.

The battle that lasted a day and a night seemed to have come to an end.

A large amount of blood flowed from Huo Zhao's mouth. He stared at the Azure Cloud Spear in his abdomen, and this scene seemed to take him back more than five hundred years.

In this battle, Shen Yingsi was not much better off. His body was covered with wounds of varying sizes, the most serious of which was his left shoulder, which looked like a bloody hole from which blood kept flowing.

Shen Yingsi flew directly above Huo Zhao, and with a flick of his wrist, the Azure Cloud Spear returned to his hand. His white robes were stained with blood, and his cheeks were also stained with blood. Shen Yingsi's expression was indifferent as he stared at the spear in his hand and said calmly, "Wolf King Huo Zhao, I didn't go looking for you, but you don't want to live, so you came to my door."

Huo Zhao slowly stood up, holding a large knife, his eyes sharp, though he was at a disadvantage, he did not lose his momentum.

"Although Your Highness has been poisoned by the demon, you still retain a sliver of reason. I cannot bear to see Your Highness fall to such a state, indiscriminately killing the innocent and destroying your own path to immortality."

Shen Yingsi scoffed as if he'd heard a joke: "Even if I killed them, in the eyes of Heaven, it would just be a case of demonic poison taking effect, leaving me powerless. Besides, what does it matter if I become an immortal or a god? I don't care."

His path to immortality and divinity had long been paved by the Heavenly Dao, so even if he went astray, countless people would do everything in their power to pull him back.

"However, I am very curious how the demons who committed evil deeds and harmed countless people five hundred years ago have become so hypocritical."

Huo Zhao was not angry. Instead, he looked up and stared directly into Shen Yingsi's eyes: "Compared to my changes, isn't Your Highness's change even more intriguing? Those people are Your Highness's subjects."

Shen Yingsi smiled, looking relaxed, and pointed his gun at Huo Zhao: "They're just a few insignificant people."

An insignificant person.

Huo Zhao held those words in his mouth, chewing them carefully. As if he had thought of something, he burst into laughter like a madman. His tall spine slumped, but his imposing aura remained undiminished.

"Hahahaha! It's irrelevant, hahahaha---"

He laughed maniacally, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, only to burst into laughter again as soon as he caught his breath. A fierce wind howled through the mountains, whipping up their long hair and skirts.

"You're courting death!" Shen Yingsi raised his spear, gathering spiritual power, determined to kill him in one fell swoop. The Azure Cloud Spear flew from his hand, heading straight for Huo Zhao's face.

"Does the God of the Green Lamp still remember the promise he made to me?"

The spear stopped just inches from Huo Zhao's eyes.

"The God of the Green Lamp, it's him again, it's him again!" Shen Yingsi sheathed his spear, his eyes filled with rage.

Upon seeing this, Huo Zhao knew that he had not remembered those tens of thousands of years in the God Realm, but he did not know why this reincarnation had turned out the way it had today.

"When I was sealed away in Ghost Valley, I asked the High God why demons and humans cannot coexist. If my wolf demon clan no longer harms people, can we coexist harmoniously with humans in the human world? Does the High God of Green Lamp still remember how he answered me?"

"I don't recall ever answering any stupid questions."

How should he answer? Shen Yingsi, of course, did not know. He felt that the world was irrelevant to him and the lives of tens of thousands of people were also irrelevant to him.

He only wanted to regain his divine power, break free from the shackles of fate, and live a free and unrestrained life.

"Your Highness will know once you rediscover your true self. Your Highness has strayed from the right path; you must turn back as soon as possible!"

Turn around! It's one thing for the gods in heaven to teach him a lesson, but even this evil demon with countless human blood on his hands wants to teach him a lesson here.

"You've taken quite a few lives, Huo Zhao. You should think about how to clear your name of all your sins."

Shen Yingsi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and all the surrounding spiritual energy instantly gathered around him. He gripped his spear and thrust it downwards swiftly, but missed.

The person disappeared.

Shen Yingsi watched as the magic array around the pit gradually disappeared; it was a teleportation array. He had been stalling for time; he had fallen for the trap.

Shen Yingsi suddenly knelt down. He was also a little overwhelmed, and his injuries were not much less severe than Huo Zhao's.

Where can they run to? Sooner or later, they'll become victims of his gun.

The Azure Cloud Spear in Shen Yingsi's hand emitted divine power, and in a burst of light, the spear and the man disappeared together.

Wen Li learned of Shen Yingsi's injury the next day. Xie Xiao said that their prince, with his extraordinary abilities, sensed a wolf demon lurking nearby. Fearing the demon might harm people, he disregarded his own safety and went out alone to fight it. Although their prince's magic was powerful enough to severely injure the wolf demon, it was too cunning and escaped using a magic array!

So for the next few days, the Crown Prince had no choice but to obediently recuperate, while Xie Xiao and the others were responsible for finding the wolf demon's hideout and the bride's whereabouts.

Si Xiaxia was initially so anxious that she urged Wen Li to go back every day, and even demanded that Wen Li keep a close eye on Shen Yingsi at all times to prevent him from doing anything that would damage his merits. But no matter how much she urged him, Wen Li was just too lazy to move.

There's no way around it, Jing Chan is simply Wen Li's ideal wife and loving mother.

She would avoid asking Wen Li to do housework unless absolutely necessary, though Wen Li would conscientiously help with the heavy chores that Wen Li couldn't handle. Most importantly, she prepared a variety of meals every day. According to her, she used to cook for people at the temple.

It's a bit of a pity that although Jingchan has returned to secular life, he still insists on a vegetarian diet and chants scriptures every morning and before going to bed.

Every day when Wen Li woke up, Jing Chan had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the small table beside her bed. Although life was comfortable, Wen Li couldn't stand the lack of meat at all.

She had also advised Jingchan to buy some pork. That was the first time she had been so humiliated by someone's words that she couldn't hold her head up high.

"Why must we kill living beings? Chickens and ducks also have their own lives, and we have no right to take their lives. Life has no distinction of value."

Although Wen Li agreed with her words, she still really wanted to eat meat. So when Xie Xiao told her that Shen Yingsi's injuries had almost healed and she had to go back, she was secretly delighted.

However, just as Si Xiaxia said, Jing Chan's ideas are too simple and idealistic, and he doesn't understand the natural law of the survival of the fittest at all.
