The inheritor of the demonic arts quickly showed a helpless expression, but did not pull her hand out from under her skirt, and continued to look up at the statue.
"As expected, the stimulation was still far from enough."
Just then, a startled exclamation came from nearby: "Hey! It's that pervert I saw on the forum!"
"What is she doing?"
"Wake up, it's no use!" one player said sadly.
The inheritor of the demonic arts had never experienced the speed of modern media; he was sweating profusely and his mouth was dry.
Even though it was moved to a different location, how did it manage to spread here so quickly?
Hiding will be much more difficult from now on!
"I'm not..."
No one paid any attention to her explanation. At this moment, the onlookers around had already started recording.
The inheritor of the demonic arts took a deep breath, made a hand seal under her skirt, activated a concealment technique, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Day three.
When she passed by the statue again, she was devastated to find that it had been equipped with a counterattack and alarm system!
The inheritor of the demonic arts was indignant: "How am I a pervert? I'm not!"
At that moment, she casually opened the forum and the first post she saw was about herself.
"A mysterious pervert has been filmed!"
Will the perverted behavior affect the faction favorability of all players?
'Slander, utter slander! I was just confirming...' The inheritor of the demonic arts blushed and hid in the Yin-Yang realm.
However, it's normal for players to react strongly.
The Star Alliance warriors were very disciplined and kept a close eye on each other, as they were all worried that such behavior might affect Lin Ye's overall favorability towards the players.
The "Favor of the Emperor" attribute, which can almost be considered a form of faction favorability, is currently showing a glaring -19...
It was already very low.
If we really anger Lin Ye over something trivial, it wouldn't be good if we all got kicked out!
While it's unlikely that one pervert would cause such a huge consequence, it still stirred up panic among some players.
The inheritor of the demonic arts sighed, and seeing that no one was around, reached out again to grope at the hem of the skirt.
as predicted.
I still don't feel anything!
"Forget it... It's just a mere statue. Gods are useless after all."
"But even a statue is being watched so closely..."
"Should I really go see him in person? What will he do to me?"
The inheritor of the demonic arts looked in the direction of the Demon Subduing Workshop, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
She had a very deep impression of her experience with Lin Ye.
After all, her identity destined her life to be filled with hiding, assassination, fear, ambition, and so on. The only slightly warm period was the year she "met" Lin Ye.
From Lin Ye's perspective, it was incredibly unlucky.
Imagine someone in the Qi Refining stage eating hotpot and singing songs, only to be suddenly captured by a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator while walking down the street. Who could withstand that?
Anyone would be terrified. Lin Ye used every means possible to ensure a safe reopening—although he seemed to have a strong ability to withstand pressure, he was actually on his mental limit every day.
This includes, to some extent, revealing one's talent for weapon crafting and figuring out the other party's preferences.
From the perspective of a successor of demonic arts.
There must have been some ulterior motives behind agreeing to release the hostages.
Recalling this, the inheritor of the demonic arts forgot to pull her hand out from under her skirt, and complex emotions welled up in her purple eyes.
It all seems like it happened just a short while ago.
"Gulp...kill me..."
She laughed and said, "No, I'm not going to kill you."
......
"Please have some self-respect, senior!"
Her cheeks flushed: "Boy, I am a demonic cultivator!"
......
"Take care on the road, senior."
She gazed into the distance: "No need to worry."
......
"Lin Ye, I'm planning to change your spiritual root..."
"Lin Ye...?"
When she returned, she had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The bright smile on his face gradually faded.
He/She is... dead.
The person who least deserved to die is dead.
When he committed suicide, who was he thinking of...? Anyway, it certainly wasn't himself.
......
Lin Jianqiu gripped a jade pendant tightly and gave him one last look.
In the past, he was always likable and very capable; he was a genius at weapon crafting.
But I wasn't good to him.
I had planned to treat him better after I came back this time...
However, he chose a tragic end.
When Lin Jianqiu untied Lin Ye, he officially included him in his future plans.
While searching for prey, they excitedly imagined the future.
Although he is still very weak, perhaps one day he can stand by my side... definitely...
However, upon returning, he was suddenly met with devastating news.
he died!
Shock, sadness, anger... At that time, she hadn't completely lost her humanity, so perhaps there was still some self-blame... A myriad of emotions entangled her.
Lin Ye's body was cut in half with a single stroke.
Acting impulsively, then regretting it after sobering up, shakily piecing things back together.
In the end, he was never kind to you even once.
“But I will forget you.” Her palm slid off Lin Ye’s face, her vision blurred as if she were dizzy, and large pupils bulged under her eyes. “I will not remember a traitor.”
Lin Jianqiu turned and left, having made his decision:
Demonic cultivators have no tears.
Such tears will never come again.
......
We often only learn to cherish something after we've lost it.
Lin Jianqiu's life was destined to be accompanied by killing and danger.
Whenever she recalls Lin Ye, her longing for that time sometimes grows stronger... but just as she said back then, those tears will never come again.
Much later, she actually discovered who Lin Ye was thinking about before he died.
He is the owner of another jade pendant.
Now they are on opposite sides.
Lin Jianqiu sensed the immense power of cause and effect from this.
She clearly felt envy, resentment, and sadness towards Su Xiaotao—yet a sickly smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, I got him first..."
Perhaps I shouldn't use memories as a weapon, nor is it something to boast about.
However, there was no time for regret.
So many regrets in my life.
Initially, all I wanted was to survive.
When I was young, I even naively thought that I would never use this precious ability that leads directly to immortality and would live an ordinary life.
If there is an afterlife.
Don't make me a monster.
......
"Su Xiaotao, you win."
"How can someone whose soul has been scattered have an afterlife?"
"However... a miracle happened, but I am still the inheritor of the demonic arts..."
Lin Jianqiu pulled her hands out from under her skirt and helplessly raised them high.
She never expected that while she was lost in her memories, she would be surrounded by players!
The crowd shouted, "Pervert! Surrender!"
"Hmph...you think you can take me?"
Lin Jianqiu activated his secret technique, transforming into a wisp of black mist that quickly disappeared into the crowd.
She headed south, heading straight for the Demon Subduing Workshop.
I can't worry about that now.
Lin Ye, I've come to find you!
Lin Jianqiu's eyes flickered slightly: "The jade pendant... It seems that my ability to be reborn is closely related to this jade pendant."
Why does something he created possess such power?
Meeting him was truly destiny.
Although he didn't know where the other person was, in this life, his life seemed to be bound together with the holder of another jade pendant, Su Xiaotao, his mortal enemy from his previous life.
I wonder if Lin Ye will help me hide my identity as the inheritor of the demonic arts in order to protect my childhood sweetheart.
Or rather, does he intend to imprison me as I did to him back then?
Lin Jianqiu took a deep breath, and a hint of anticipation began to stir within him.
“But if he tries to kill me without saying a word, Su Xiaotao will also die...that would be the worst-case scenario.”
"I want to live, and I don't want to waste this life."
"How can I make sure he won't..." Lin Jianqiu fell into deep thought.
the other side.
As expected, Lin Ye discovered that there were quite a few suspicious players who were interested in his statue.
After all, it has a population of ten million.
It's normal for some oddballs to appear!
However, there was one person in particular, a mysterious figure shrouded in black robes, who caught Lin Ye's attention.
