Chapter 229 The Conman 29
Chapter 229 The Conman 29
Ling Yi had already become suspicious of the old man when she discovered that Bai Qihuai had no merit at all.
Although Heaven has lost the right to punish and can only act as a "hello, here" AI sprite, this does not mean that it has no ability to restrain the common people.
For example, merit.
It suppresses the absorption of spiritual energy by all living beings to the greatest extent, and only allows people to be judged by their merits. This is the credit cultivation system it established for living beings after it lost its deterrent effect.
Under this system, even someone who has helped an elderly woman cross the street or found a penny and handed it to a police officer should be considered to have done something good.
But what about Bai Qihuai?
His merits are cleaner than a beggar's wallet. Could it be because he has never done a good deed in his life?
That's impossible, of course.
Therefore, the other answer is quite obvious.
He did something exceptionally heinous, which caused all his good deeds to be erased.
The few words Bai Qihuai uttered while talking to his son, assuming there were no outsiders present, confirmed Ling Yi's guess.
He raised demons and ghosts, using the absorption of human lifespans as a cultivation method to forcibly enhance the demons' and ghosts' cultivation levels.
This is certainly not because he has a naturally kind heart that is friendly to demons and ghosts, and is willing to pave the way for them with the lives of his own kind.
Puppet ears...
Harvesting...
What he wanted to do was to raise those demons and ghosts like pigs, feeding them with human lives, and then harvest them once they were fattened up for future use.
But what is he planning to do...?
Ling Yi looked at Bai Chengye, who was weeping in the secret room, and lost all interest in him.
This time, in addition to keeping an eye on Bai Qihuai, she also wanted to see him off.
Since she likes Hua Dai so much, it would be dishonest not to go with her. She should support this love that has been so devoted to her.
But now it seems that this fool cannot be killed for the time being.
His father was a shrewd and ambitious man; without him as a clue, it might have taken a long time to uncover the secret.
But now...
Ling Yi had a premonition that as long as she followed this fool, she would reap considerable rewards.
With Wu Jin's feathers twirling around her, Ling Yi murmured, "Having such a good son is Bai Qihuai's retribution."
For years, she had kept everything perfectly secret, trying to prevent her son from going astray and causing him distress, but she ended up overhearing everything.
Gee...
This must be the retribution for his indiscriminate killing.
Lost in thought, Ling Yi was completely unaware that the bird in her arms was already showing signs of dissatisfaction.
We had agreed that if he brought her here, he could kiss her.
But now?
He brought the person and uncovered the secret, but this woman only had eyes for others and kept muttering things he couldn't understand.
Wu Jin's tiny brain only sensed that Bai Qihuai had a problem, but as for what that problem was...
Once he physically eliminates Bai Qihuai, then there won't be any problems, right?
In a flash, Ling Yi went from tugging at his feathers to hugging his waist in the blink of an eye.
Some birds may not be good at thinking, but they are naturally good at taking advantage of others. After a few transformations, they learned how to get as close to Ling Yi as possible when in human form.
Feeling someone's shoulder pressed against his chest, Wu Jin cleared his throat and pressed Ling Yi's head closer to him, saying calmly, "If you don't like them, just kill them."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed with eagerness.
If you can get a kiss on the cheek after running around with someone, wouldn't you get a kiss on the lips after killing two people?
Recently, he has been exposed to a lot of new knowledge about humans and has come to believe that even though these mayflies have short lifespans, they still have some advantages.
Ling Yi pushed his face away expressionlessly, her initial interest in Bai Qihuai completely vanished.
Does he seem powerful if he always physically eliminates his enemies?
Okay, that's really impressive.
but……
"How do you know that after Bai Qihuai suddenly dies, the demons and ghosts he controlled won't suddenly go out of control?"
What if you were subjected to an indiscriminate massacre of humans, or a monster bomb in the city?
Although her aptitude seems so good that she doesn't need to rely on merit to cultivate, she should still avoid doing such immoral things.
Clearly surprised by the state of human habitation, Wu Jin frowned and said, "Just regenerate..."
A great demon might not give birth to a single offspring for thousands of years, while a human can have a whole bunch in one lifetime. So what if a few die temporarily?
"Okay, shut up, or you'll get beaten up."
Rejecting the bird-like language of a higher-dimensional being whose frequency of communication with humans was different, Ling Yi pondered, "I may have to stay here to monitor them for a while, you..."
"I won't stay here!" Wu Jin subconsciously raised his hand: "Unless, you..." kiss me.
"Alright, you go first." Ling Yi thought the same thing: "In case..."
Ling Yi's words came to an abrupt halt. Wu Jin lowered his head in annoyance, pursed his lips, and stopped her from speaking.
Ling Yi blinked, meeting Wu Jin's fierce and helpless gaze.
“We are Daoist partners, how can we be separated?” Wu Jin said unhappily, “How can you abandon me for the sake of others?”
Human lifespan is already short. If she has to focus her attention on these trivial matters, how much time will she have left for him?
of course……
A warm sensation beneath his lips caused Wu Jin to turn his pursing into a bite, his voice muffled: "If you insist on interfering, you can't just leave me aside."
Although things are boring, being with her is never boring!
Mr. Wu rediscovered his long-lost professional ethics and felt it was time to address this serious matter that was harming the lives of ordinary people.
"That's how Daoist partners should be. Wherever you are, I'll be there. Whatever you want to solve, I'll help you."
He paused for a moment, then said cautiously, "We are Daoist partners, right?"
Although he was too lazy to think about those things, after seeing so many human formulas for love, he vaguely knew that matters like Daoist partners and romantic relationships couldn't be determined by just one person's opinion.
It seems that he only got this status as a Daoist partner because of Ling Yunzi's words, "I agree to this marriage."
Although Ling Yi didn't seem to explicitly object, she never agreed either, did she?
Wu Jin worked tirelessly day after day, doing everything he could to please others, but more than anything, he wanted to gain a proper status.
If Lingyi disagrees...
He gritted his teeth slightly, biting his lip, and said in a muffled voice, "If you don't think so, give me back the kiss on the cheek first, and I'll ask you for your consent next time."
Ling Yi: "..."
Not only are Bai Qihuai and Bai Chengye not on the same wavelength, but she now also feels that she and Wu Jin are not on the same wavelength.
Weren't we just thinking about saving the world and eliminating the villains? How come we've suddenly switched to the romance channel?
Your walnut-sized brain is truly filled with muscles, except for kisses and romance.
