"Okay, okay. I'll shut up. I'll shut up."
As the saying goes, how can I not lower my head when I'm under someone else's roof? I could roughly understand Witch Ye Ji's complicated feelings.
"Humph! Look at me."
Although I had already given in, Witch Ye Ji didn't buy it. I subconsciously looked at her. I saw Witch Ye Ji's flirtatious expression. She was no longer as fierce as before. Witch Ye Ji already had an unparalleled beauty to begin with. Her gentle look made people fall for her and unable to pull themselves out.
I instantly realized that she was using a charm spell. Although I was severely injured and my resistance was much weaker, I had taken over Witch Ye Ji's body earlier, so I wasn't affected much. I wasn't like those genetically mutated warriors who couldn't even move.
"Knock yourself out!" She frowned. She seemed to notice my abnormality, but she still ordered, "Knock yourself out!"
"Okay." I didn't hesitate. I patted my head and fell to the ground.
Actually, I still had a chance to fight back, but the chances of winning weren't high. Witch Ye Ji could have forced me to take the Demon Transformation Pill in front of Blood Demon, but she didn't. It meant that she had found her conscience and didn't want to drag me down with her.
In other words, Witch Ye Ji shouldn't have given me the Demon Transformation Pill while I was unconscious. If that was the case, I might as well be more open. That way, I could fight for a chance.
When I woke up, I realized that I was lying in a cave with a small fire next to me.
I didn't know why, but I felt as if my body had been hollowed out, and there was a faint fragrance lingering on my body.
Just as I came back to reality, a graceful figure walked in. It was Witch Ye Ji.
"You're awake," she said softly.
"Mm."
I nodded. Although I had slept, I hadn't recovered much of my power. It made me depressed. It seemed that I'd used up some of my energy in my sleep.
"You can leave," Witch Ye Ji said coldly.
"Huh?
What do you mean? "I was shocked. I thought she was going to mock me. Who knew that she'd say something like that?
"I'm asking you to leave. Don't you understand?" She glared at me. The bone-chilling coldness made me shiver.
"No, I mean, what's wrong with you?
You spent so much effort to control me, and now you want to let me go? "I found it hard to understand.
"You're a man, why do you have so much nonsense to say? Let's go!" Witch Ye Ji urged.
"If I leave, won't the Blood Demon blame you?"
I suddenly realized that Witch Ye Ji had put on such a show to save me. As for why she had brought me to this cave, it was worth pondering.
"You don't have to care so much."
Witch Ye Ji said snappily. She paused and then continued, "Do you want him to take over your body and let him trample on your female friends?"
"Er …" I felt awkward. Witch Ye Ji had hit my sore spot. Actually, the reason why I was so angry at her was because the Blood Demon had hurt my fairy teacher. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done such a thing that was worse than a beast.
During the battle with the Blood Demon not long ago, he had said that he wanted to take over my body and do whatever he wanted. In the end, he had angered me and triggered my ultimate move, Buddha's Palm. Not only did I severely injure him, I also damaged two of my demon items, especially the Hellfire Mirror. It was directly shattered and couldn't be repaired. The Blood Spirit Pearl also lost its spiritual power.
"What about you?" I asked subconsciously.
"I already told you that you don't have to care. Don't you understand?" Witch Ye Ji said with dissatisfaction.
Without a doubt, if she let me go, Witch Ye Ji wouldn't be able to get away with it, but she was so determined.
"Tell me, why are you doing this?" I stared into her eyes, but she seemed to be avoiding my gaze.
"Could it be that you like me?" I asked her shamelessly.
"Bullsh * t! How could I like you?
You should thank those ladies. They saved you! "Witch Ye Ji glared at me and said angrily.
"Ah!"
I didn't understand. It turned out that other than being grateful to me, Witch Ye Ji had also experienced some emotions recently. As I had placed the Soul Suppressing Bottle in the storage room, Witch Ye Ji had heard every single action of Sister-in-law and the others. Basically, the topic that they talked about the most was about me.
Even though it had only been a short one or two days, Witch Ye Ji had felt their love and sincerity towards me. She had thought about it carefully and realized that she had been foolishly loving the Blood Fiend Sovereign for the past few years.
However, her belief in reviving the demon path and her loyalty to the Lord Sovereign had supported her. Witch Ye Ji had used the power of the Blood Spirit Pearl to escape.
After all, the Soul Suppressing Bottle could only restrain her, but not the Blood Spirit Pearl.
Honestly speaking, she didn't want the Blood Demon to take over my body. With the Blood Demon's personality, he definitely wouldn't have tender and protective feelings towards the fairer sex. Not only would the few women suffer, it would also be a painful memory that they wouldn't want to remember.
On top of that, I had always provided her with miraculous pills and various teachings. She also had a strong foundation in her heart. As the saying goes, humans aren't plants or trees. How could they be emotionless? That was why she wanted to do that. It was her way of repaying me.
At that moment, I had a deeper understanding of Witch Ye Ji. I couldn't help but admit that she was a woman who dared to love and hate. She had principles when doing things. There were very few people in the demon path who were like that.
"Thank you for your reminder. How about I take you away with me? I won't be a deserter anyways!" Suddenly, a light flashed in my head and I had an idea.
Witch Ye Ji rolled her eyes. "In your dreams."
