After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 86: I'm a Little Curious (Subscribe for the Fifth Update)

If Zi Mian's translation is true and the story is real, then the location of the Dragon Transformation Palace becomes quite interesting.

Let's boldly speculate that the person who obtained the dragon horn might be the big shot of Dao Integration in the Dragon Transformation Palace.

Zhang Chi looked at the treasure map and couldn't help but feel speechless.

This thing is a bit disappointing.

You say it's a powerful opportunity?

Indeed, it is. The ancient true dragon, after death, transformed its body into the Coiling Dragon River. Just thinking about it feels incredible.

But can this thing be easily obtained?

Zhang Chi didn't know how powerful the former Monster King, Jin Li, was, but at least he was at the level of Divine Ability.

Only when the Monster Race reaches this level can they be called the Monster King.

If even the opponents that the former Monster King couldn't handle, can he handle them now?

So many years have passed, who knows to what extent the person who obtained the dragon horn has cultivated?

If he really has a connection with the Dragon Transformation Palace, can Zhang Chi really take things from under their noses?

Therefore, this treasure map is quite disappointing, it's like eating chicken ribs, no meat but a waste to discard.

"This thing is also a disaster if kept, but if used well, it might have unexpected effects."

Zhang Chi put away the silk book, planning to use it as a gift to give to the Water Monster Race.

Of course, it can't be given for free, they have to pay a sufficient price.

As for the specific implementation of the plan, he would think about it later. The most important thing now is to train the little female slave.

On the path of cultivation, there are many things that are inconvenient for him to handle personally. It's rare to subdue a subordinate who is stronger than himself, so he must educate her well.

In dealing with people, one must be patient.

He won't kill someone without a word. Zi Mian's every reaction is within Zhang Chi's expectations.

It's difficult to enslave a person because the human heart is complex.

But if one can make good use of the human heart, it's not difficult to control someone.

Zi Mian already has enough fear of him now, and she is no longer as rebellious as she was at the beginning.

But to make her completely loyal, he still needs to take a few more steps.

He is about to go out now and doesn't have enough time to train her, so he can only resort to more drastic measures.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been today's conversation.

"This secret of yours is indeed good, but have you really not hidden anything from me?"

"No."

Zi Mian quickly denied it.

Zhang Chi slowly drew his sword, approached Zi Mian, and continued to ask, "Really nothing?"

"Nothing..."

Zi Mian's voice trembled, and Zhang Chi placed the sword against her neck.

"Think carefully, is there or isn't there?"

The sense of oppression grew stronger with each sentence.

Under the effect of the slave mark, Zi Mian couldn't muster any resistance and could only close her eyes and grit her teeth, saying, "There isn't, really."

Clearly, she was lying.

The current Zi Mian is already extremely afraid.

She has killed many people and was originally not afraid of death.

But now she is not only facing the threat of life and death, but also the effect of the slave mark.

The slave mark acts on the Divine Soul. The closer it is, the more it prevents the servant from having any thoughts of resistance and at the same time, it makes the servant genuinely fearful.

This cannot be changed by human will.

Yet Zi Mian can still grit her teeth and refuse to reveal any information about Qing Mian.

Undoubtedly, she is using all her willpower to resist her own instincts. Without enough emotions, she wouldn't be able to do this.

"It seems that there is someone you would rather die than betray.

Your spirit is commendable, I will spare you. From now on, work faithfully for me, and I won't force you to betray the person you want to protect."

Zhang Chi retracted his sword and stopped using the slave mark to oppress her.

Zi Mian finally relaxed. She was covered in sweat and weakly collapsed on the ground.

"I have something to attend to, you can wash and bathe here."

After saying that, Zhang Chi left the room.

When there was only Zi Mian left in the room, she couldn't hold back anymore and buried her head in her knees, tears silently streaming down.

But her current mood was a mix of pain and joy.

The pain came from enduring great humiliation, while the joy came from successfully protecting Qing Mian and not dying.

From this perspective, Zhang Chi is actually not a bad person, at least he didn't push her to the brink of death.

However, it's too embarrassing.

She didn't know how to face Zhang Chi.

On the other side, near the ferry, Tang Ruoling looked at Zi Mian, who suddenly stopped and remained silent, tilting her head in confusion.

Under normal circumstances, Zi Mian could control six or seven puppets, multitasking and even performing a combined attack.

But just now, she couldn't control the puppets at all.

It wasn't until Tang Ruoling called her several times that Zi Mian regained control over the puppets.

"What happened just now?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things. By the way, you haven't said who coerced you! Tell me, I'll stand up for you."

Because she lost face in front of Zhang Chi, Zi Mian urgently wanted to show off in front of Tang Ruoling.

However, her true self was still crying.

There was a bathtub in Zhang Chi's room. After calming down for a while, Zi Mian used magic to fill the bathtub with water and then soaked herself in it.

Looking at her wet clothes, Zi Mian shamefully set them on fire and burned them clean.

Outside the room, Zhang Chi didn't actually go far.

Every move Zi Mian made was actually under Zhang Chi's surveillance.

Of course, he wasn't a scoundrel who peeped at girls bathing, he just wanted to observe Zi Mian's state to confirm her loyalty.

Seeing that she dared to undress and bathe in his room, Zhang Chi knew that this little slave girl had been well trained.

Clothes also represented defenses.

If she always remained vigilant, she definitely wouldn't take off her clothes, even if they were dirty.

On the other hand, she would only do such a thing after being extremely nervous and then relaxing.

In the future, she definitely wouldn't pretend to obey while secretly opposing.

Gu Youyou truly felt the horror.

"So this is what you meant by not bullying her?"

Gu Youyou couldn't help but empathize with the perspective of the victim and felt that Zi Mian was quite pitiful, so she made a sarcastic comment.

Zhang Chi calmly said, "I didn't kill her, which is already the greatest mercy, because she still has value to be used and she no longer poses a threat to me. I'm willing to give her a chance to be reformed. I'm already very kind."

Gu Youyou: "..."

Thank you for redefining kindness for me.

"But I'm actually more curious about who she's protecting."

Zhang Chi rubbed his chin and started thinking, and Gu Youyou commented, "Didn't you promise not to ask anymore?"

"Yeah, I didn't ask her, can't I think about it myself?"

Zhang Chi said righteously.

It's normal for people to have a bit of curiosity, right?

"So what did you come up with?"

Gu Youyou was also very curious.

"I'll make a simple guess."

Zhang Chi pushed his nose bridge. There were no glasses with black frames here, but making such a gesture would better match his teenage boy image.

"The person she's protecting should be a woman. In daily contact, Zi Mian is resistant to men, but not to getting close to Chen Runyu. She might be a lily."

"What does lily mean?"

Gu Youyou didn't understand.

Zhang Chi didn't explain either and continued, "Zi Mian used to be an assassin. The person who she considers the most important in her heart is most likely someone she met in the assassin organization, and they are probably a sister-like figure. Check if there are any survivors among the seven assassins of Stormwind Tower from back then. If there are, then that must be the person Zi Mian wants to protect!"

PS: Goal achieved. This time the release was too rushed, so I really didn't have any drafts prepared and had to write and publish every day.

In the future, I will strive to publish on time and not keep you waiting for too long.
