Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Ready to Replace You at Any Time
Yu Longting bowed his head and kissed the corner of my eye, and just then, the cool rain started to fall.
The Demonic Qi dissipated, causing the moisture in the air to condense and lead to rainfall.
Looking at Yu Longting’s face which swiftly changed from arrogant to tense, the rain clinging to his cold, pale skin.
My full heart of resentment and doubts gradually settled into calmness, and I took the initiative to lean my head into his chest, "One thing at a time, if I gave you the Spiritual Power, it’s yours. Just now... it was my fault, I should not have spoken carelessly."
Even if I was very angry, I shouldn’t have said I regretted giving him my Spiritual Power.
To me, saving up Spiritual Power for him was the sole motivation for my relentless pursuit, and besides, no matter how many doubts there were about Yu Longting, I believed that he would never truly do something to harm his own flesh and blood.
That Lotus Leaf Boy... must have an unusual origin...
My trust in Yu Longting is one thing, but every time I recall how he ignored my pleas and dissected that Lotus Leaf Boy, my body can’t help trembling uncontrollably. "But... Yu Longting..."
"Wanwan," Yu Longting became a bit heavy-hearted due to my hesitation.
I let out a sigh, murmuring faintly, "You’ve really disappointed me. If you’re truly not guilty, why... would you kill it to silence it? What are you covering up? You clearly said you wouldn’t lie to me anymore!!"
Yu Longting was not exorcising a demon; he was silencing it.
Perhaps there aren’t many in this world who can Seal a demon creature, but my flower hairpin could.
Yet he was so anxious to completely destroy the Demon spawn.
The Demon spawn was now cut into pieces, making it impossible to piece back together.
Even as a demon creature, it was definitely doomed.
"I didn’t lie to you, Wanwan," Yu Longting caressed my hair gently, looking somewhat pale and tired, "Trust me, Wanwan, find Su Qiang, let her speak the truth, which can prove my innocence."
I pursed my lips and glared at him grimly, his evasive response only causing my unease to deepen. "Why do you avoid my question? We will find Su Qiang, but I want an answer to this question too, why! Why did you kill the Demon spawn to silence it!!"
"Because..." Yu Longting caught the back of my head in his palm, drawing me close into his embrace, and softly began, "This demon creature was terribly dangerous, it killed countless people, and I once pierced its heart to kill it, but it came back to life. Dissecting it is the only way to ensure that it does not resurrect from the ashes."
"You’re lying, you have an Elixir that can drive away Demonic Qi and you can place restrictions to prevent demon creatures from harming living beings." I suddenly became extremely angry, ferociously biting his shoulder. Despite my pressing, he still refused to utter a single truth, "I’ve experienced all this first-hand; you could completely purify its Demonic Qi, making it abandon the demonic path. There was no need to kill it!"
"Wanwan, I’m sorry; I didn’t save its life as you wished! Its Demonic Qi was too potent, the Elixir for expelling demons lost effect, and the Seal was useless against it," Yu Longting apologized solemnly, "In your eyes, would I be the kind of Demon Head who could cruelly kill his own child?"
"Let’s... go see Su Qiang. Can you find her?"
I hesitated, then pushed Yu Longting away. I didn’t directly answer his question but proposed to meet Su Qiang instead.
He could have come clean about the truth to prove that he did not kill our child, but he still chose to tell nothing but lies!
Since I can’t get the truth out of him no matter what, it’s better not to waste the effort.
The explanations Yu Longting just gave seemed logical but couldn’t conceal his intention of silencing the matter.
Even if the Demonic Qi on the Lotus Leaf Boy couldn’t be completely cleansed, it was entirely possible to temporarily Seal his Demonic Qi and get the desired answers from him.
But he... meddled... insistent on chopping the Lotus Leaf Boy to pieces!
Why... Yu Longting... why do you suddenly have so many secrets...
You’re becoming more and more unfamiliar to me, more and more inscrutable.
"You don’t have to worry about that, I’ve been prepared. Even if Su Qiang escapes to the ends of the earth, I’ll know her whereabouts immediately."
Yu Longting flicked his sleeve, and a multitude of snakes slithered out from within and into the water, cleaning up the remaining pieces of the Demon spawn’s flesh and its Demonic Qi.
To prevent the creatures in the river from consuming it and undergoing some mutation.
Yu Rongling finally recovered his mobility from the Demonic Qi and splashed over to us from the water, "Brother~ what exactly is going on with that monster... Is it really you and sister-in-law’s... child? Its Snake Tail is identical to yours."
