After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 82: Don't Worry, I Don't Hold Grudges (First Update)

Under Zhang Chi's instigation, Long Yan enthusiastically went to cause trouble for the Water Monster.

She had her own independent thinking, and Zhang Chi only opened up some new ideas for her, like a waterway where Zhang Chi created a diversion for her, causing her to rush down the wrong path.

"She's so easily deceived, it seems that her parents must love her very much."

After Long Yan left, Zhang Chi made a fair evaluation.

Without the care of elders, who in the Immortal Cultivation World could easily trust others?

Upon hearing this, Gu Youyou felt a bit melancholic and said, "Yes, her parents must love her."

Zhang Chi keenly noticed the change in Gu Youyou's emotions. As a skilled analyst and a master of manipulation, he quickly realized that this might be Gu Youyou's breakthrough.

Pretending to be ignorant, he asked, "What's wrong? Do you miss home?"

"Home?"

Gu Youyou self-mockingly said, "The Demon Race has no concept of home, so naturally, I don't care about missing home."

If you didn't care, how could I sense your sadness?

Zhang Chi knew very well that the more unwilling someone was to mention something, the more likely it was something they cared about.

Intentionally not exposing her, he continued to ask, "If it's not home, then is it missing your parents?"

"Heh."

Gu Youyou let out a cold laugh.

The reason she felt something because of Long Yan was due to her own experiences.

Both being fools, Long Yan had parents to protect her. No matter how naive and innocent she was, no one would dare harm her.

But what about her?

As the esteemed Demon Race Saintess, her status was noble, and her talent was outstanding.

However, when she encountered danger and was framed, she didn't think about waiting for her parents to rescue her. Instead, she chose to seal herself and wait for a destined person.

Now, through a fortunate coincidence, she could coexist with Zhang Chi. What she thought about was making Zhang Chi stronger and rescuing herself, rather than contacting her parents and seeking their help.

Since childhood, she had never experienced what it meant to be cared for.

"What? Your parents don't love you?"

Zhang Chi danced around Gu Youyou's minefield like a madman. Gu Youyou couldn't bear it any longer and responded, "The Demon Race considers emotions as burdensome. Even between parents and children, there won't be any emotional ties. Everything is only considered in terms of interests."

"I see..."

Zhang Chi pretended to understand now and suddenly said, "Then we can try something different."

"What kind of try?"

"Between you and me, let's not consider our interests."

"Joke. Between you and me, what else is there besides that?"

"We did indeed come together because of our mutual interests, but we can choose not to consider our interests.

Because of this unique experience we share, we won't have any conflicts due to our races, and after fulfilling our agreement, there won't be any ties of interest.

On this basis, what we can leave behind is nothing but the most sincere emotions, right?"

"Well, I definitely won't like a man like you."

Gu Youyou said directly.

Before she met Zhang Chi, she didn't know what kind of man she would like.

But after meeting Zhang Chi, she was certain that she would never like someone like him.

Scheming and cowardly, without moral boundaries, he could disregard anyone's life for his own survival.

She was certain that if he were truly cornered, he might even abandon his master.

How could she possibly like such a selfish and cowardly man?

Zhang Chi's smile suddenly became very amiable.

You can confide in me, and I'll be happy.

But I don't like the tone of your words.

Stupid Demon Race woman, I'll remember today's account.

Zhang Chi gracefully didn't pursue the offense in Gu Youyou's words. He calmly said, "I am the opposite of you. I might actually like a witch like you."

"Why?"

Gu Youyou was not shy, she was just curious.

Zhang Chi, this guy only likes beautiful women, right?

That's true, but all Demon Race women are beautiful, not to mention a Saintess!

Zhang Chi dares to bet!

Even if she is really ugly, it's not too late to run away.

Let's just consider it an online relationship for now. Worst case scenario, we'll just die when we meet in person.

Could it be that he will still keep his promise?

Is that possible?

"There's no reason, I was just slightly moved by your sadness earlier. If you don't have a home, I'm willing to give you one."

"Thanks, but I don't need it."

Gu Youyou coldly refused.

But this statement...

It has quite an impact.

She knows that Zhang Chi is a bad guy, but she keeps replaying this statement in her mind.

Unfortunately, Demon Race doesn't need a home.

The core concept of the demonic path is to be free from all constraints, including one's own emotions.

Once a demon develops emotions, they will be bound by them, making it difficult to be free and follow their own will.

That's why those who forget love and have no attachments are most likely to become demons. Demon Race has always been abandoning their own emotions.

But Demon Race also has a heart, and where there is a heart, there are emotions.

This is not something that can be artificially controlled.

Just like Gu Youyou, she knows that Zhang Chi is a bad guy, and he might be deceiving her. She knows that Demon Race shouldn't be moved, but she can't help but be attracted.

Of course, she believes that she is definitely not like Jiang Qingyun, who can be easily fooled by Zhang Chi.

She is a Saintess, currently just pretending to be weak. If it weren't for this guy making a vow with her and being her only hope of escape, she would have already killed this guy who disturbs her Dao heart with a single blow.

How did Jiang Qingyun manage to restrain herself?

Gu Youyou is very curious about this fellow clan member.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chi has no intention of mentioning anything about Jiang Qingyun.

Now that he is no longer under house arrest, he still has many things to do.

After teasing Gu Youyou for a while, he has to go catch his next target.

Having not gone out for a long time, Zhang Chi tidied himself up a bit, looked in the mirror, confirmed his handsome appearance, and then went out.

On the way, he greeted his junior and senior martial siblings with a warm smile, asking about Chen Runyu's whereabouts.

He learned that Chen Runyu was acting as a guide for the people from Dragon Transformation Palace.

This time, the Dragon Transformation Palace came to investigate the case under the guise of a visit and exchange.

If they were to directly mention the appearance of Demon Race, it would cause widespread panic.

By limiting the panic to the middle and upper levels, they were also protecting the majority.

Therefore, these members of the delegation also spent part of their day wandering around Sword Sect, investigating and putting on a show.

While coming to find Chen Runyu, Zhang Chi was still wondering if there would be a scene where disciples from a major sect would harass a young girl, and then he, as the protagonist, would intervene forcefully.

Hmm, the people from Dragon Transformation Palace are all at the Foundation Building Stage, so they can be fought. The only concern is exposing his true strength.

Zhang Chi thought about some random things, but unfortunately, this kind of plot did not happen.

The people from Dragon Transformation Palace were very well-behaved. Chen Runyu led them to the Tingchao Pavilion to admire the view, while explaining the historical allusions, like a dedicated tour guide.

The five people from Dragon Transformation Palace had a forced expression on their faces, as if they were being forced to work.

Obviously, they were not interested in Sword Sect's history.

Chen Runyu also maintained a polite smile, and both sides were cooperating with each other.

However, as soon as Zhang Chi appeared, Chen Runyu's smile immediately changed.

"Senior Brother, why did you come?"

She abandoned her work and came straight to Zhang Chi...
