I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 731: Chapter 739

Xu Yan looked seriously at Bai Zhi, holding her hand tightly and repeating his words.

“I’m scared that if someday, we end up on opposing sides, you must kill me without hesitation. Do you understand?”

Xu Yan was afraid, afraid that one day he would inevitably harm his sister.

Just as she understood him, he also understood her; surely she knew something, hence her extreme caution.

But he could never entertain such possibilities, not even subconsciously.

Bai Zhi frowned, pulled Xu Yan’s hand towards herself, and closed her eyes to feel more deeply.

Suddenly, she felt something flash by, too swiftly for her to grasp.

Bai Zhi, surprised, pulled him straight into the study and took out a small knife.

“Brother, do you trust me?”

“Of course.” He asserted firmly, without a moment’s hesitation.

For Xu Yan, the only person he could trust completely was Bai Zhi, not even himself.

Sometimes, he didn’t even trust himself.

“Then let’s try something.”

Bai Zhi thought she had begun to understand something.

Without hesitating, she cut open Xu Yan’s hand, blood flowed profusely, and the next moment, she cut her own hand and placed it above Xu Yan’s.

At first, nothing happened, but soon he felt something chaotic moving within his body. Quickly, the cut areas began to bulge, and suddenly it seemed as if something smelled something delicious and burst forth,

Bai Zhi quickly captured it in a bottle and sealed the lid; soon after, Xu Yan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He felt much better.

“What is this? No wonder I often can’t control myself, what I do is totally different from what I think.”

Xu Yan looked at the bottle in surprise, the culprit behind the antidote they had to receive monthly.

“I’m not sure, but my master said that since I consume the most medicine, to many creatures, my blood is food.”

Although direct, this was indeed no mistake.

Sure enough, the creature had burst forth on its own.

“I’ll give you a few acupuncture points; you’ll feel much better and must eat well thereafter.”

Bai Zhi took out the Golden Needle and began to administer the treatment, each movement swift and decisive.

Soon, Xu Yan felt a warm sensation that made him exceptionally comfortable, rather than restless.

“Thank you, sister. I feel much better now; this I think I’m even more capable of striving harder.”

Xu Yan hadn’t expected that his sister could resolve his greatest hidden trouble; this way, he wouldn’t need to worry about many things and could reorganize.

“Brother, take these medicines with you as well, otherwise I would worry.”

Archaeology wasn’t easy; sometimes a single mishap could cost a life. That was all she could do.

“Alright, but you must also be careful.”

This time, Xu Yan accepted them, not repeating his refusal, because he thought about how Bai Zhi really liked to challenge herself; if she couldn’t achieve what she wanted, she would find a way. It would be better if he agreed now.

Sure enough, after he agreed, Bai Zhi smiled, very happily.

“Yes, I know.”

Xu Yan also left, and Bai Zhi looked around the place; she had to rush to find Ancestor and ask what was really going on. Before she could ascend the mountain, she was blocked by someone.

The man went straight to her, asking for her cooperation with the investigation.

“What’s the reason this time? School is about to start for me, and I really don’t have the time for any investigations.”

The man laughed suddenly, “That day at the station, I admit my attitude was not great, but would you like to join us at the party?”

Bai Zhi looked at the man, who clearly wanted to start a fight, yet he tried to appear normal; wasn’t that insane?

“I don’t want to.”

Bai Zhi was the first to refuse outright; why should she attend, especially knowing their intentions weren’t good? Only if she were out of her mind.

“This…” The man frowned and finally sighed. “Why won’t you cooperate? Must I resort to using some force?”

Before he could finish,

with a “bang,” the man was injured as another person wielding a stool smashed it onto his head. He staggered back several steps.

“If you dare touch my daughter, I will fight you to the death.”

Bai Da appeared out of nowhere from the shadows and struck the man.

“Who are you, and why are you hitting me?”

The man looked at Bai Da in confusion. Dressed in tattered clothes, Bai Da could easily be mistaken for a vagrant.

“I won’t let you bully my daughter, I’m telling you, if you try to, I will kill you.”

Bai Da didn’t have time to go back for anything; he just grabbed a chair and smashed it.

Only then did the man look at Bai Zhi, “Didn’t you say you had no parents?”

Bai Zhi instantly grew cold; had she ever said that?

No, she didn’t remember ever mentioning that.

“Why should I tell you?” Bai Zhi replied coldly. She had actually planned to get ready and leave, but then this fool showed up.

This was no longer about investigating her family.

“I am willing to be investigated, but you need to provide a reason for me to go. And the documents too. Otherwise, I will feel that you are—”

Just like that, she’s not a fool. Knowing their intentions weren’t good, she definitely wouldn’t go with them.

“I—” The man, clutching his injured spot, glared fiercely at Bai Zhi.

“If you don’t have the documents, get lost. I’m not foolish enough to follow you. Who knows if you might sell me off.”

The man: “—”

The man could only leave, as he was alone and injured, and that other man was like a madman, having just struck him.

Bai Zhi had always known there was someone outside the yard, and knew it was Bai Da, but she didn’t want to see him, not even for a second.

They would be strangers from now on.

So Bai Zhi looked at Bai Da, “I don’t need your help, please never appear in front of me again.”

Bai Da’s eyes flickered with pain; he just wanted to protect her. Was it wrong to protect his own daughter?

“I just want to protect you—” Bai Da spoke carefully, barely daring to raise his voice in case he startled her.

“No need. I don’t need your protection, and I’m even afraid that you might hurt me.”

Protection, truly ironic.

Bai Da’s heart ached at these words. His daughter always remembered those things, no matter how much he changed, the outcome remained the same.

The things he had done, could they really not be undone? Could they truly not be fixed?
