After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 95: Why Didn't She Come (Sixth Update)

Having resolved the issue with the Demon Race and saved Tang Ruoling's life, Zhang Chi could finally leave Sword Sect with peace of mind.

After living in Sword Sect for so many years, this was the first time he was preparing to go on a long journey. It felt like he was another version of himself in a different time and space, going to study in a different place after twelve years of hard work.

Back then, he felt nervous but also excited and hopeful, and now he felt the same.

Gu Youyou didn't know what Zhang Chi was thinking. Her mind-reading ability was sometimes unreliable, and she couldn't hear the things that Zhang Chi didn't want her to hear.

At the moment, she had no intention of practicing, as her Qi Sea could move on its own without her having to put in any effort.

With rare free time, she wanted to chat with Zhang Chi.

"Why did you take the risk to save Tang Ruoling? It's not like you," she asked.

"What do you think I'm like?"

"Leaving her to die without caring."

"Am I really that heartless?"

Zhang Chi's tone sounded sad, which made Gu Youyou lose some confidence.

In the past, one could say that Zhang Chi had no conscience, but this time he had indeed taken a great risk. However, if one were to say that Zhang Chi had a conscience, that statement itself lacked conscience.

Perhaps he had a little bit, but not much.

"I don't understand you," Gu Youyou said after thinking for a long time.

She was sincere, but she felt embarrassed.

Zhang Chi couldn't read other people's thoughts, but he could accurately guess their intentions. And while she could eavesdrop on Zhang Chi's thoughts, she still didn't understand him.

"Oh, I'm actually quite easy to understand," Zhang Chi said sincerely. "I fear death, I'm greedy, and I have a weakness for beautiful women. That's the basic logic behind my actions."

"..." Gu Youyou didn't know what to say.

Although what you said is mostly true, you're not even pretending today. It's really scary.

Gu Youyou didn't understand that these two words were actually on different levels.

Zhang Chi's thinking was simple: survival was his top priority, and only after that was satisfied would he have other needs.

That's the mindset of someone who is well-fed but still shivering with cold.

Last night and tonight seemed dangerous, but in reality, there was no danger at all. The only one in danger was Tang Ruoling.

If the plan succeeded, Tang Ruoling would live. If the plan failed, Tang Ruoling would die. Even if she exploded, not a drop of blood would splatter on Zhang Chi.

In that case, why not save her?

As for tonight's confrontation with Long Yan, there was even less danger.

If Long Yan revealed Tang Ruoling's situation and suspected that yesterday's events were a trap, he would be investigated and could still come out unscathed. There was no evidence to prove that he colluded with the Monster Race. He was just an innocent young man who didn't know the methods of the demon women, and moreover, he hadn't done anything to harm Sword Sect.

And during the day, no one came to arrest him. Long Yan also came alone at night, which meant she deliberately concealed Tang Ruoling's situation. This provided a premise for persuading her, and there was no risk involved.

So, what did he do during tonight's confession?

Although he cooperated with the Monster Race, it was out of pity for the other girl and to protect the interests of the alliance.

Even if his methods were a bit unorthodox, they couldn't overshadow his kind and upright nature.

Even if Long Yan were to reveal it, he wouldn't be in any trouble.

Gu Youyou only saw him getting involved in a lot of trouble, as if he were caught in a whirlpool, but in reality, he was as steady as an old dog.

In the end, he managed to save Tang Ruoling, whom he liked very much, gained Long Yan's favor, completely resolved the trouble with the demonic energy incident, and let everyone know about Water Monster's intentions to cause trouble.

One arrow, four targets. The word "impressive" summed it up.

Gu Youyou followed him the whole time but still couldn't understand his train of thought. All she could say was that he was an irredeemable idiot, and she shouldn't let her use her brain in the future.

A night passed without any words.

The next morning, Zhang Chi woke up to the sound of Long Yan's angry roar. He realized that Long Yan had woken up and found herself lying on his bed, her clothes disheveled, thinking that she had been taken advantage of by Zhang Chi.

Well, last night Zhang Chi thought she was pretending to be drunk to test him, but he didn't expect her to be serious.

"Sister, do I look like I took advantage of you by sleeping on the roof?" Zhang Chi helplessly shrugged.

Only then did Long Yan react and realized that if Zhang Chi had really taken advantage of her, it would have been on the bed.

And Zhang Chi's calling her sister reminded Long Yan of what happened last night, making her even more embarrassed.

It was she who pulled Zhang Chi and said they should sleep together, saying that it was completely fine for a sister and brother to sleep on the same bed.

She even said that Zhang Chi shouldn't struggle anymore and that she would take care of him as his sister.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Being drunk doesn't cause amnesia, but it can make people pretend to have amnesia.

Like Long Yan now.

"Uh, well, I'll go back and freshen up first, see you." Long Yan slipped away like a gust of wind, leaving behind a trail of dust.

Zhang Chi had never imagined that the exaggerated scenes in movies and comics would become real here.

"She truly is a fierce woman, strong!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Her face was beautiful and charming, but her figure was lacking, and her personality was a bit too straightforward.

If she had been a bit more delicate, Zhang Chi might have made a mistake yesterday.

With the matter of Chong Xu settled, the people from the Dragon Transformation Palace were preparing to return. Dealing with the Water Monster was another matter, and their investigation had already concluded.

However, Long Yan invited Zhang Chi to go on the ship with them. After all, they would also pass by the Talisman Treasure Sect.

Naturally, Zhang Chi couldn't ask for more.

Now that they were at the critical moment of the war between the Water Monster and the Dragon River Alliance, the internal situation of the factions had become less secure.

As his personal wife, Gu Youyou couldn't always be asked to come out and fight. The best choice was to stick with the powerful.

To give Zhang Chi some time to prepare, Long Yan decided to leave the next day, giving Zhang Chi a day to get ready.

Actually, Zhang Chi had already prepared everything. What he was currently worried about was the hundred thousand spirit stones buried in that well.

He currently didn't have a spatial item to store a large number of spirit stones, and he couldn't openly take them out, so he could only leave them there temporarily.

Having money but not being able to access it was also a kind of pain.

He would bury the money for now, who knows when it might come in handy.

After nightfall, Zhang Chi removed all the defensive formations, just like last night, and prepared a table of food and wine.

Yesterday, Long Yan came after waiting, tonight it was his master's turn.

However, Zhang Chi waited until the hour of the pig (9-11 pm), and Jiang Qingyun still hadn't come for a night attack.

"Something's not right, why isn't my master coming?" Zhang Chi looked at the cold dishes on the table, very puzzled.

Seeing him make a mistake, Gu Youyou wanted to laugh.

Serves you right!

"If she doesn't come to find me, then I'll go find her." Gu Youyou: "..."

You really like your master, huh!

She felt a little strange in her heart.

Although her relationship with Zhang Chi was only a Daoist couple relationship established out of interest, without much emotional foundation, they had still made vows as Daoist couple.

To have one's Daoist partner always thinking about another woman, she would be strange if she could be happy.

However, Gu Youyou didn't stop Zhang Chi either.

He could do whatever he wanted.

That night, the defensive formations outside Qingyun Residence were quietly removed, and the entire residence was defenseless.

Zhang Chi easily walked to the window of Jiang Qingyun.

At this time, Jiang Qingyun was not sleeping, she was talking to herself in front of the mirror...

I finished what I owed yesterday, a little late.
