Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Chapter 126: Questions and Answers

Jiang Tingwan replied subconsciously: "I have already answered this question. I was entrusted by someone to help your master untie his knot and give you a normal life..."

Unexpectedly, before she finished her words, he turned his head and smiled as if he didn't believe it. When he looked at Jiang Tingwan again, his eyes were cold and he interrupted her directly, "Then what can you get?"

Jiang Tingwan was stunned. At that moment she hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should make up another reason to lie to him.

"Don't tell me you are too kind-hearted, or that you must repay a favor."

"To survive." She looked at him and replied seriously.

She chose not to, but Suijiu became nervous.

Suijiu: Jiang Tingwan!

She ignored Suijiu's reminder and emphasized again, "If I complete all this, I won't have to die."

There was a slight flash of surprise in those questioning eyes, causing him to pause for a moment in his questioning.

"So you invaded her body?" He asked this question after a long pause.

Jiang Tingwan didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy about this action, but he could only tell the truth, "No! She was hit by the backlash of the Three Yuan Jue and fell into a deep sleep. I just happened to enter her body."

"Then what are you?" He looked straight into her eyes, not allowing her to deceive him in the slightest. "Are you a human? A ghost? Or a demon?"

Jiang Tingwan thought about his current identity and replied uncertainly, "I guess I am considered a human being."

"Is it?" He frowned slightly.

She quickly explained, "At least it was before."

Hearing this, the man opposite narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her again, as if he accepted her words. At least, she was sincere in answering questions now, and he was very satisfied.

"Mu Yunzhong, please believe that we have absolutely no ill intentions." Feeling his scrutiny, Jiang Tingwan could only add as much as possible, "If you are angry because I used your master's identity to deceive you, I apologize to you. I just hope that you can look at the world in a new light after receiving her apology. I also hope that you can get out of this misunderstanding and deception and start your own life instead of becoming someone else's pawn."

She sat up straighter and unconsciously moved closer to him.

Mu Yun finally saw the look on her face, and an indescribable emotion rose in his heart.

It is undeniable that she has indeed changed herself over the past few days, so much so that when he discovered that his master's power had disappeared, he did not take action, and when he found out that she was not his master, he still did not kill her.

"Today, do you really think that I can start a new life?" He seemed to be really asking her, with a bit of confusion and a bit of asking knowingly in his eyes.

Jiang Tingwan's heart suddenly clenched, and she couldn't help but grab his clothes, and replied to him seriously: "Yes, I can. You are not someone else's pawn, you don't need to do anything for others, hatred, restoration, it has nothing to do with you. You are just you, you have a bright future ahead of you, you are the center of attention, and you have a long way to go."

Her eyes, with a glimmer of dawn, gradually entered Mu Yunzhong's eyes, making him unable to look away.

Perhaps he accepted this truth, or perhaps he had been looking forward to such a truth for a long time, so that when it really came, he was actually a little happy. In fact, as long as he nodded, he would feel unprecedented relief.

He stared at the pair of hands resting on his body, an ambiguous smile forming at the corners of his mouth, like a compromise, or like the joy of starting over.

"You are really..." He didn't finish his words, as if he didn't know how to continue.

"You still don't believe me?" Jiang Tingwan couldn't understand the emotions in his eyes, and asked, feeling a little disappointed.

He suddenly grabbed her with his backhand, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, "I can believe what you say, but I have one last question..."

Jiang Tingwan's body trembled unconsciously when he was grabbed. He opened his eyes wide and waited for his next question.

"What's your name?" he asked her seriously.

"Ah?" She didn't expect this to be the question. Jiang Tingwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, "Jiang Tingwan!"

A moment of doubt flashed across Mu Yunzhong's eyes.

Jiang Tingwan quickly proved himself.

"My real name is Jiang Tingwan! There's no need for me to lie to you about my name..."

Jiang Tingwan didn't expect to panic about the name. After all, this was not a novel. Who would believe that a soul parasitic on someone else's body would have the same name as its original body? But she couldn't explain to Mu Yunzhong that the system deliberately replaced Bai Wangshu's name in the entire text in order to increase her sense of involvement.

"It happens to be the same name as your master! I know this is too coincidental, but you must not doubt everything I say just because of a name. If I really wanted to lie to you, there's no reason why I couldn't even make up a name, right..."

Jiang Tingwan was afraid that all his efforts would be wasted because of this name, so he tried his best to explain.

The person opposite her found it somewhat amusing as she tried to explain. He couldn't help but smile, grabbed her hand and pulled it towards him, forcing her to look at him face to face. He curled his lips and said, "Forget it, I believe you, Jiang Tingwan!"

He seemed to call her name in a different tone. Before, these three words were accompanied by his anger and rebuke, but now they were accompanied by tenderness and expectation. The low voice carried a bit of magnetism, which reached Jiang Tingwan's ears. Along with the force on his wrist, it brought a tingling and electric current feeling.

Jiang Tingwan trembled unconsciously, wondering if there was still some residual power of the Thunder Python in his body causing trouble.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yunzhong asked when he saw her staring at his hands.

Jiang Tingwan pulled his hand away, but still couldn't move freely, so he said, "Do you feel a tingling sensation? It's like the demonic power of the Thunder Python..."

At this point, she recalled the kiss when Mu Yun finally absorbed the demonic power. She realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

Unexpectedly, the person on the other side saw it and laughed again, "Master, do you feel that there is still demonic power in your body?"

He called back her master, but his eyes fell on her lips, as if he also remembered that kiss.

Feeling where his gaze was resting, the redness on Jiang Tingwan's face spread all the way to her ears.

"I'm not... that... Have you finished asking questions? If you have, I need to take a break..."

She spoke hesitantly, but did not dare to look at him.

"Yeah." He looked at her, responded softly, and let go of her hand.

After regaining his freedom, Jiang Tingwan stood up and ran outside.

Seeing her reaction, Mu Yun couldn't help but smile. His eyes seemed to be filled with fireworks, as if a meteor flashed across the sky, and he felt a little hot. He sat in his seat and looked at his hands, feeling her remaining warmth.

"That..." Her voice came back and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

Jiang Tingwan reappeared at the door, turned his head away, and explained timidly, "This is my room!"

Mu Yun finally raised his eyes and looked around the room, only then did he realize this. He stood up awkwardly and walked towards the door.

"Goodbye." Before he could say anything, Jiang Tingwan took the lead and stepped aside to see him off.

Until Mu Yun finally left the door, Jiang Tingwan quickly closed the door, as if he was seeing off a giant Buddha.

Then he fell on the bed and pounded it hard...

"Help me..."

Sui Jiu, who witnessed the whole process, had a puzzled expression on his face. He didn’t know, he didn’t understand, he didn’t comprehend…
