Chapter 2255: Medicine Shocks the World (40)

Chapter 2255: Chapter 2255: Medicine Shocks the World (40)

It is rumored that the Demon Spirit is ageless and undying, impossible to kill. Because of this, it can’t appear in the human world casually.

Summoning it is already a miracle.

Killing the Demon Spirit while carrying a contract, can there be a good ending?

So from the start, he didn’t plan to go against Chuzheng, he only wanted to send her back.

Anyway, once she’s sent back, she won’t be able to come out.

But who would have thought... things would end up like this.

"I’ve told you everything you wanted to know, and what I did didn’t disrupt you. Can we mind our own business?" the man negotiated with Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: "You used me as a tool and still talk about minding our own business?"

Man: "..."

If you weren’t summoned, could I have used you?

Wasn’t it you who wanted to come out!!

The man still wanted to struggle: "What do you want? You can make any demands, we can also cooperate."

Cooperate? Who wants to cooperate with an idiot like you, it would demean my status as a big boss.

Chuzheng looked up at the sky, face deep: "I want to be a Good Person."

Man: "??" Demon Spirit doesn’t count as a person, right?

The man’s peripheral vision caught the sight of the coffin, a plan formed in his mind: "Demon Spirit Lord, you don’t care about me, but you don’t care about Jing Po either?"

He still had a bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, the man felt a bit more assured.

According to the information he got, this woman was very invested in that kid Jing Po.

He didn’t believe she wouldn’t care about that kid!

Chuzheng followed the man’s line of sight, her tone still flat, without any fluctuations: "What do you want to say?"

"I already said, Jing Po has Demonic Qi I placed in his body, he’s now under my control..."

Chuzheng proposed boldly: "Wouldn’t it solve the problem if I kill you?" Solve it at the root!

"!!!"

The man almost cursed in anger, can we have a proper conversation, do you have to answer like that?

Calm down! Can’t let this woman lead the conversation astray!

"Demon Spirit Lord, I must remind you, if I die, he will also die."

Chuzheng paused for two seconds, Leisurely asked: "Why should I believe what you say?"

The man suddenly laughed: "The Demon Spirit Lord may choose not to believe, then you can kill me now, just depends if you dare to gamble."

Chuzheng, slowly: "Oh."

Man: "??"

What’s with the ’oh’? Does it mean you’re gambling or not?

Chuzheng was unsure if what the man said was true, so she didn’t react and maintained an unreadable expression.

Chuzheng posed in a mysterious manner and had the Evil Spirit tie him up first.

-

Jing Po slept through the afternoon, only awaking at dusk, staring blankly at the night sky sprinkled with stars.

What happened?

Why does he feel like he’s forgotten something...

Jing Po lifted his hand, grasping the edge of the coffin to sit up. The coffin was placed on a large platform, while the rest had been cleared, piled around.

"You’re awake."

Chuzheng came up from below the platform.

Jing Po looked at her blankly: "What... happened to me?"

"Nothing." Chuzheng handed him some food: "Have something to eat first."

Jing Po insisted: "What happened to me before?" Something definitely happened before, why did he suddenly fall asleep, what happened before he slept?

"Are you sure you don’t want to be full before hearing me out?"

The body belongs to the Good Person Card, Chuzheng wasn’t planning on hiding anything from him, just wanted him to eat first in case he loses his appetite later.

Jing Po took the food, quickly finishing it.

He obediently sat ready: "I’m done eating, you can speak now."

Chuzheng raised her hand to wipe away the crumbs at his lips, the young boy stared intently at her, waiting for her to tell him what happened.

Chuzheng briefly explained what occurred before.

"I... was out of control?" Jing Po asked blankly.

He had no recollection at all.

"Mm."

Jing Po’s eyes shifted, urgently asking: "Did I do anything? Did I hurt you?"

Chuzheng shook her sleeve, covering the back of her hand: "No."

The boy sighed in relief, she’s so powerful, how could he possibly hurt her.

"He said if he dies, you would die too, I’m not sure if it’s true." Chuzheng lowered her eyes to the ground: "So we temporarily can’t act on him."

"...Mm." Jing Po was silent for a few seconds: "If I purify the Demonic Qi in my body, he wouldn’t be able to control me, right?"

"In theory, that makes sense, but are you confident?"

The Elixir Pills Jing Po refined had no precedence to prove their efficacy.

What if they didn’t work?

Or maybe there are side effects?

Jing Po looked down, fiddling with his fingers, after a long while, slowly said: "I want to try."

Being controlled while having no awareness of one’s actions was terrifying, what if... what if he hurt her?

Chuzheng: "Wait first, let me think of a way to pry some info out of him."

"Mm?"

How? Would he talk?

That’s not Jing Po’s concern, Chuzheng won’t explain it to him.

Chuzheng forced him to agree not to act rashly until she had a definitive answer.

The boy’s eyes reddened, clothing messy as he nodded, aggrievedly raising his hand to vow.

Why is she still bullying me at times like this...

-

Early the next morning, Chuzheng had the Evil Spirit drag the man to the River Wangchuan Bank.

The River of Forgetfulness was shrouded in a morning mist, hazy and oddly beautiful.

"Throw him in," Chuzheng waved.

The man stared, not caring about his image, clinging to a tree and shouting: "What do you want to do!"

Chuzheng said seriously: "I want to see your true form."

"!!"

The Evil Spirits grabbed the man’s arms and legs, forcibly separating him from the tree, and he cursed in anger.

Chuzheng and the Evil Spirits paid no heed, carrying him to the riverbank, counting one, two, three, and threw him in.

The man only managed a brief struggle before the Evil Spirits in the River of Forgetfulness grabbed him, his limbs felt weighed down, slowly sinking.

His soul was pulled from his body by a force.

His body gradually sank to the riverbed.

While his spiritual body was rising.

Spiritual body...

Seeing the approaching Evil Spirits, excitement stirred in the man’s heart, she was giving him a chance!

The Evil Spirits in the River of Forgetfulness, if he could devour them, he...

The more he thought, the more excited he became, so he didn’t dodge when the Evil Spirits approached.

But the man soon realized his thoughts were naive.

Chuzheng knew he could absorb spiritual bodies for his own use, yet dared to throw him in, how could she not have been prepared.

"Ahhhhhhh..."

The man’s screams echoed into the depths of the forest.

The Evil Spirits tugged at the man’s spiritual body as if to tear him apart.

This pain, beyond any physical pain imaginable.

The River of Forgetfulness water seemed to change, soaking his spiritual body, causing a corroding sensation.

Pain...

"Enough, pull him up."

The man had never found her voice as clear and pleasant as now.
