After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 79: I Never Intended to Take Responsibility (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

Zhang Chi immediately guessed the identity of the newly appointed elder, which made Long Yan feel very uninterested.

She wanted to play tricks on Zhang Chi, but ended up being outsmarted by him.

After that, she remained silent until Tang Ruoling came over.

Long Yan immediately looked at Tang Ruoling and was instantly captivated with just one glance.

This girl was like a vessel that could accommodate all things.

Long Yan actually felt like she had lost.

Tang Ruoling was dressed up today, rare for her not to wear a green dress but instead a red one, making her look even more stunning.

Her eyebrows were carefully drawn, and her lips were adorned with rouge.

From afar, her figure was graceful, and up close, her face was beautiful.

She was indeed a rare beauty.

Long Yan tactfully bid farewell and left, giving them space.

Tang Ruoling's mood became complicated upon seeing Zhang Chi.

There was resentment, uneasiness, and a little bit of anticipation.

"Long time no see."

Zhang Chi said calmly.

Tang Ruoling didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she just made a sound of agreement and lowered her head slightly.

"That day, you were coerced by someone, right?"

"Hmm?"

Tang Ruoling was shocked, not expecting Zhang Chi to have already seen through everything.

Now that Zhang Chi had exposed her, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

At that time, she was the one setting a trap for Zhang Chi, but in the end, she ended up getting angry herself.

Upon careful consideration, she realized that she had been somewhat unreasonable.

Now that Zhang Chi had revealed everything, she felt a bit lost and could only lower her head, indicating her acceptance.

At that time, she actually felt a little guilty, but Zhang Chi's words still made her quite angry.

Human nature is always complex.

"That day, I sensed something was amiss, but I didn't understand it, so I deliberately didn't tell the truth. I knew you were genuinely angry."

Tang Ruoling: "..."

The more Zhang Chi spoke, the more embarrassed she felt.

But she couldn't help but ponder the meaning behind Zhang Chi's words. He said he didn't tell the truth.

In other words... he actually... loved her?

Thinking of this answer, Tang Ruoling's heart started to beat faster.

Gu Youyou silently watched Zhang Chi flirt with other women, feeling a subtle change in her mood.

Originally, Zhang Chi was just a tool for her, so she didn't mind him flirting with other women.

But now, Zhang Chi was her partner!

"Hmph, he's just a tool, I won't bother with her."

Although she said that, Gu Youyou still closed herself off from the outside world in anger.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Tang Ruoling actually misunderstood.

Zhang Chi didn't lie today, and that day he only told one lie.

He couldn't help but find it amusing to see Tang Ruoling blushing.

A little half-demon, truly adorable.

"You don't need to feel ashamed. In life, there are always times when we have no control over ourselves. If there's anything you can tell me, I will try my best to help you."

Zhang Chi just wanted to test Zi Mian's loyalty.

It wasn't easy to eliminate this slave's rebelliousness in a day, so Zhang Chi wanted to find out from Tang Ruoling if Zi Mian had followed his orders.

However, the timing of his words was too perfect.

Tang Ruoling happened to be coerced by the Water Monster Race, and now, hearing Zhang Chi's words, her heart was deeply touched.

She couldn't help but want to rely on Zhang Chi. Combined with her lack of loyalty towards the Water Monster, she directly revealed that she had been coerced by them.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi's whole demeanor changed.

I...

I wanted to catch a crucian carp, but ended up catching a shark.

This is simply outrageous.

The trouble with the Demon Race hasn't settled yet, and now the Water Monster is causing more problems.

Just as one wave subsided, another wave rose again.

The melons from the Left River League are getting bigger and bigger.

But this time, Zhang Chi swears that he didn't cause this melon!

Although he was shocked in his heart, he still expressed concern for Tang Ruoling on the surface.

"What were you originally planning to do?"

"Lie down and wait for death."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Do you want me to go to my death?"

Tang Ruoling wanted to say that she couldn't bear it in her heart, but she was more afraid of being killed by Zhang Chi.

She couldn't say such words, but Zhang Chi deliberately understood it that way and said, "Silly girl, how can you sacrifice your own life for me?"

Tang Ruoling: "......"

I really didn't.

But she couldn't come up with a rebuttal. At this moment, she felt that the atmosphere between her and Zhang Chi was particularly warm and sweet, even in the face of life and death choices.

"Don't worry, I will help you with this matter."

"Mmm..."

Zhang Chi's protective attitude touched Tang Ruoling deeply. Her gaze towards Zhang Chi became much softer.

The two of them had already had an intimate relationship, and now there was a hint of charm in their eyes.

Zhang Chi knew that an accident was about to happen.

Sure enough, Jiang Qingyun arrived.

"Miss Tang has come from afar, why not come in and sit?"

Jiang Qingyun waved his hand, withdrew the formation, and let Tang Ruoling in.

But now that there was a third party, Tang Ruoling didn't feel comfortable going in.

"I just came to visit Zhang Chi, and now I should go back."

Although nothing happened as she had expected when she came with anticipation, Tang Ruoling was already satisfied with hearing what Zhang Chi said.

For a woman, spiritual satisfaction is more important than physical satisfaction.

So, she left with a little regret.

She knew that Jiang Qingyun didn't like her.

This was normal, mortal women often had conflicts with their mothers-in-law!

In order not to annoy Jiang Qingyun, she should be obedient.

As soon as Tang Ruoling left, Jiang Qingyun put on a stern and authoritative manner, and said coldly, "I told you not to leave, but you couldn't stay put and even wrote a letter to call Tang Ruoling to see you. If you have such thoughts about her, I can make a decision for you. You can go to Spiritual Medicine Valley as a son-in-law!"

Of course, this was just an angry remark.

What made her angry was that Zhang Chi took the initiative to invite Tang Ruoling.

If Tang Ruoling came on her own, she would be a little slut.

But if Zhang Chi took the initiative, the nature would change.

Could it be that this guy has fallen for Tang Ruoling?

That little vixen does have some looks.

Even Jiang Qingyun, in certain aspects, couldn't compare.

But even if she lost, she couldn't accept it.

So, after knowing that Tang Ruoling had arrived, she quickly finished her business and came to find Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi looked at her anger but was not panicked at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "If I didn't do this, would you come to see me, Master?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Qingyun heard something different in this sentence.

"It means exactly what it says. If Tang Ruoling didn't come, how would Master come to see me?"

Zhang Chi said this with a hint of resentment, not like something a disciple would say to their master, but more like a lover...

And there was also a hidden meaning in it.

Why did Jiang Qingyun come only after Tang Ruoling arrived?

Because she was protecting her food.

She could ignore others, but she had to stop Tang Ruoling.

Jiang Qingyun tasted the flavor and couldn't help but feel excited.

Did Zhang Chi see through her thoughts?

This little rascal had always had improper thoughts about her, so he was so sensitive?
