☆、Chapter 5
Hua Ling continued to ask He Shi, ‘Then you had a longing for the mortal world and were unwilling to be lonely, so you ran from this cave…outside? Then…let me see, you met your husband.’
He Shi: ‘…hmm. I stayed behind to guard the clan during my lifetime, and I thought that since I had gained my freedom, I might as well go see this great land. Indeed, I met my husband during the journey. We hit it off immediately.’
Hua Ling interrupted, ‘It should be said that it was love at first sight.’
He’s expression was slightly embarrassed: ‘…anyway, I ended up staying with my husband. Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long, and I soon noticed something strange about my body.’
Hua Ling nodded: ‘This is only natural. In your situation, you really can’t leave the Demon Source for too long.’
He’s sighed: ‘Yes, unfortunately, I could only tell my husband that there were rules in the clan that I had to come back to protect the place. My husband was sincere in his feelings for me, and immediately agreed to come back with me.’
Hua Ling said indifferently, ‘So you tricked those villagers here too? Did you spread rumours that there was a gold mine or a treasure here?’
He Si was silent for a moment before saying, ‘…Doctor Hua is close to the mark. This was indeed done to repay the monster for saving my life. And of course, it was also done to make the village more lively so as not to arouse my husband’s suspicions.’
Hua Ling raised an eyebrow: ‘Just because this ferocious beast saved your life, so you led the villagers here and let this beast kill indiscriminately?’
Fei couldn’t help but say, ‘I didn’t kill indiscriminately!’
Hua Ling laughed: ‘Are you going to say something ridiculous like humans are too weak and will die if they are left alone?’
Fei: ‘…’ She silenced him, and now it did sound ridiculous to say it out loud…
Fei argued, ‘I just wanted to borrow some life force to escape from here.’
Hua Ling said coldly, ‘You knew that wherever you went, there would be epidemics and disasters, and you lured the villagers here. How can you say that they didn’t die from being infected with the plague you carried?’
He’s family:!!!
Hua Ling saw He’s face turn pale and suddenly turned to her and said, ‘Now, do you guess?’
