The confrontation between one person and one pearl made my heart jump. What eldest and second eldest? Could it be that Witch Ye Ji had many brothers and sisters?
Or did they belong to the same organization?
Moreover, from what Witch Ye Ji had said, it seemed that she didn't just want to save me, but had some concerns. To be precise, it seemed that I was a sacrifice for Lord Monarch's resurrection …
This was too hurtful. I thought that I had succeeded in reforming Witch Ye Ji, but now it seemed that it was all for naught. That bitch still hadn't changed. Maybe she was working with the Blood Demon to deal with me!
No matter what, she had indeed helped me get through the difficult situation. From what Witch Ye Ji had said, I had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the Blood Spirit Pearl's true power!
"The bottom line of the Demon Path?
Don't you think it's funny?
That year, we, the Seven Demon Flame Disciples, worked together with Lord Monarch, and after many trials and tribulations, we finally forged this top-notch Demon Tool. However, you were greedy, despicable, and sly. You took advantage of Lord Monarch's absence to sow discord and tried to destroy our friendship. If I had known this, I wouldn't have let you appear, "Witch Ye Ji said regretfully.
I was even more shocked. I hadn't expected that Witch Ye Ji had participated in the forging of the Blood Spirit Pearl. No wonder she knew how to control it!
There was no doubt that humans had seven emotions and six desires, and greed was one of them. In this aspect, the people of the demonic path were especially outstanding. Their ambitions were unrestrained, so the demonic creatures they created also inherited this characteristic.
Originally, the Blood Spirit Pearl wanted to explain, but Witch Ye Ji waved her hand. "Little brat, make it shut up."
"Okay."
I instantly agreed. Once again, I surged the power of darkness. The Blood Spirit Pearl seemed to be covered in a thick layer of black mud, and no light could be seen.
The resentment in the stone room suddenly disappeared. I felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I looked at Witch Ye Ji with gratitude. "Thank you, beauty. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to survive today."
"Tsk, now you know how important I am?"
She pouted and looked like she didn't appreciate it. She was so mischievous that she looked like a couple flirting. Even so, I didn't let my guard down. I felt that Witch Ye Ji was trying to seduce me. Deep down, she still wanted to work for Blood Demon.
Actually, this wasn't strange at all. Even if I earnestly preached to her and tried to influence her, it would be difficult to change her in a short period of time. This was because she had always believed that she and the Blood Demon had been in love for a thousand years. No matter what she did for the Blood Demon, it was worth it.
In this way of thinking, she was like Qinglian in the movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", living a life of humiliation while waiting for the Blood Demon to rescue her.
At this critical juncture, I really couldn't expose her. That would make everyone feel awkward. I might as well beat her at her own game and pretend to be tricked by her.
In this way, I might even have a chance to trick the Blood Demon. It all depended on how I used this as a pretext.
"Hehe, I have eyes but failed to recognize the golden jade."
I laughed and couldn't help but coax her. Everyone liked to hear compliments, and Witch Ye Ji was no exception.
She immediately broke into a smile and said proudly, "You've finally spoken the truth!"
Actually, Witch Ye Ji already knew about the situation in the room. She just hesitated for a while. After all, I had dug my own grave and dug open the partition, causing the Blood Spirit Pearl to fly out. Since Witch Ye Ji had participated in the entire process of refining the Blood Spirit Pearl, she had felt the familiar blood spiritual power before I had. She just couldn't be sure.
Although she could effortlessly get someone else to do her dirty work, it also meant that Lord Monarch's plan to see the light of day was ruined. This Pure Yang bloodline, could be said to be a rare occurrence in a thousand years, with great difficulty, she could not choose to ignore it because of her own hatred.
Now that she had saved my life, she was grateful. It was a good result.
"Hmm, what should I do with the Blood Spirit Pearl now?" I asked curiously.
"It's best to put the Blood Spirit Pearl in the Soul Suppressing Bottle. That way, I won't have to rely on the spiritual pills and can absorb some of it. Moreover, it will further block the Blood Spirit Pearl's aura. With your current strength, even a True Immortal Realm expert wouldn't be able to see through it." Witch Ye Ji couldn't help but suggest.
This woman was really honest. She said whatever she wanted to say. She wasn't afraid that I would see through her selfishness. From a certain perspective, the Blood Spirit Pearl not only had great power, but it also had a special replenishing ability.
Witch Ye Ji had just taught me the chant to control the Blood Spirit Pearl. That shout of "I am the only one in the world!" was full of aggressiveness.
I had to admit that the people of the Demon Path were full of ambition. Even the kings of ancient times wouldn't dare to say such disgraceful words.
I hesitated for a while before agreeing. As long as I kept my guard up, the current Witch Ye Ji wouldn't be a threat to me.
Witch Ye Ji couldn't help but smile. It was reasonable to say that besides saving her life, she didn't have the qualifications to negotiate with me. Who would have thought that I would be so generous? Could it be that I completely trusted her?
"However, you have to tell me why the Blood Spirit Pearl is in this sandalwood box!" I didn't rush to throw the Blood Spirit Pearl into the Soul Suppressing Bottle. Instead, I went straight to the point.
"Ah … To tell you the truth, I don't know either. Several hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. A lot of things must have happened, right?" Witch Ye Ji said sincerely.
From her eyes, there didn't seem to be anything strange.
"I'm sorry. Since you always don't know anything, I can't put the Blood Spirit Pearl in the Soul Suppressing Bottle for now."
I shrugged. Without waiting for Witch Ye Ji to speak, I continued, "Previously, you told me that you've turned over a new leaf. Besides helping me this time, I don't know what you've changed."
Although I planned to beat her at her own game, I couldn't pretend to be too stupid. That would easily arouse suspicion. Thus, this sudden reprimand was equivalent to showing kindness and might. Perhaps it would have a miraculous effect.
