Chapter 283: #283 - Dead but Still Alive

“I didn't expect you little demon to be so eloquent.” Bai Jing carefully examined Li Mu. Although they had traveled together, she had been asleep and hadn't had a good look at him.

Jiang Wen had said Li Mu was a kind-hearted person, and now it seemed he was right. The golden glow on his forehead was proof of the many good deeds he had done.

Hearing Yao Gu's words, Bai Jing didn't pay much attention.

She looked at the young man in the house, who was staring at her with a somewhat panicked expression. After examining him, Bai Jing knew what he was.

“Bai Jing, be careful! This person has received the inheritance of Lord Chi Yao.” Seeing Bai Jing looking at the young man, Yao Gu quickly told her the information he had.

Bai Jing: “It's alright, I know who he is.”

“Is he the host of Lord Chi Yao?” Yao Gu quickly asked.

“No, just some residue.” Bai Jing replied. “That day, Chi Yao fought with the golden-armored deity and was torn apart. His organs were scattered in the world. Chi Yao was almost a demon king, so his organs were extraordinary. This person is possessed by Chi Yao's organs, and has obtained the miasma of gluttony.”

“So that's it, no wonder he has Lord Chi Yao's black and white twin snakes!” Yao Gu suddenly understood and muttered. “Lord Chi Yao is really amazing, even his organs can become spirits.”

“A display of ugliness.” Bai Jing casually grabbed the snake, watching it struggle desperately. “If your master Chi Yao were here, I would still be in awe. But Chi Yao is dead, leaving only useless things like you.”

With that, she crushed it, and the flesh and blood turned into powder, falling like fine rain.

“Huh?” Bai Jing looked at the house with some doubt. She walked through the broken wall and landed on the ground. After looking at the bloodstains in the house for a moment, a smile appeared on her face. “As expected of the dregs left by Chi Yao, this life-saving skill is the same as hers.”

After speaking, she left the house and returned to Li Mu and Yao Gu.

The rescued woman had already fainted, lying limply on Li Mu's shoulder. Li Mu's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to do.

He saw Bai Jing returning, and a look of joy appeared on his face: “Lord Bai Jing, what happened to the monster?”

“He got away.” Bai Jing shook her head. “I didn't expect him to inherit Chi Yao's escape skills. I don't know where he has escaped to now.”

“Is that so? That's a bit troublesome.” Li Mu said with some regret.

“It's alright, he escaped at the cost of his body. His strength is greatly damaged, and if he wants to recover, he will definitely come out to commit crimes again. I have already left his aura, and if I find him again, I will not let him run away.” Bai Jing's tone was slightly serious. After all, as a great demon, she had let such a small demon run away. She was indeed a little embarrassed. If Jiang Wen knew about this, she didn't know how he would laugh at her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Bai Jing secretly made up her mind. If she encountered that person again, she would not give him a chance, even if he had ten thousand ways to escape.

“What should we do with this crime scene?” Li Mu looked at the damaged building opposite and scratched his head, asking.

“This place has been cursed by that person, and no matter how loud the noise, no one will wake up. Anyway, it's not in the country, so who cares.” Bai Jing said indifferently.

She had heard Jiang Wen say that this was a foreign country, and as long as she didn't cause too much trouble or wantonly kill the innocent, she could do as she pleased. So Bai Jing didn't restrain herself and was even a little presumptuous.

“I guess that's all we can do.” Li Mu responded. He looked at the woman next to him, then looked at Bai Jing. “Then her…”

“Just find a safe place to put her down, don't tell me you want to do something?” Bai Jing looked at Li Mu with a chuckle, causing his ears to turn red before she stopped.

“No, I just…” Li Mu didn't know what to say, and finally threw the woman on a chair in a convenience store.

He was still a little worried when he left, and looked back every few steps.

“Let's go, what are you still looking at.” Bai Jing closed her folding fan and smiled. “You humans are just troublesome. If you want to find a partner, then go find one, why be so artificial?”

“……” Li Mu didn't know what to say after hearing this, and could only sigh and follow behind Bai Jing.

“Lord Bai Jing, how did you get here?” Yao Gu asked curiously on the road.

“I came here with my benefactor.”

“I didn't even notice Lord Bai Jing before.” Yao Gu sighed again.

“I was just sleeping, it was too boring on the way, so I might as well take a nap.”

“Then has Lord Bai Jing ever seen Lord Chi Yao?” An expectant voice came.

“Chi Yao? Heh, she's dead. I watched her die.” Bai Jing replied mercilessly. “If you're still thinking about Chi Yao, I advise you to give up.”

“I just served Lord Chi Yao for so many years, and I'm a little nostalgic.” Yao Gu sighed.

Yao Gu babbled on, talking about the various things that had happened to him since he came to the present world. Bai Jing listened, and various expressions flashed in her eyes. It was also the first time she had heard a demon talk to her about worldly affairs, and she didn't expect such a big change to have occurred in a stubborn demon like Yao Gu.

“Humans and demons, it's not necessarily impossible to coexist.” Bai Jing whispered to herself.

When she met Jiang Wen, he was eating hot pot. When he saw Bai Jing and Li Mu, he greeted them warmly: “I've been looking all over Kyoto, and this is the best one. Come sit down and eat.”

“Um, Brother Jiang.” Li Mu took the chopsticks, looked at the things on the table, and then told Jiang Wen what he had experienced.

After hearing that Chi Yao's organs had actually fallen into a foreign country, Jiang Wen was also a little surprised.

“I didn't expect Chi Yao's traces to still exist in the world.” Jiang Wen frowned. “If such things grow up, can they become Chi Yao again?”

He looked at Bai Jing, who shook her head.

“Don't worry, no one can become Chi Yao. If the organs are repaired, they can become Teng Snake again, but there is only one Chi Yao. After all, we all knew that day that Chi Yao was a descendant of Tai Cang. And there are no descendants of Tai Cang to be found in this world.”

“That's good.” Jiang Wen was slightly relieved. His impression of Chi Yao was too deep. In the beginning, it was only by gathering everyone's strength that he was barely able to defeat her.

That day, his supernatural power consumed the merit points he had saved up to severely injure Chi Yao.

The power of the dharma appearance was great, but it also consumed merit points. The longer the duration, the more it cost, rather than a fixed amount like other supernatural powers. At that time, although it was only a moment, thousands of merit points were swept away.

Later, Jiang Wen fought with Chi Yao again, but only relied on his own abilities.

However, thinking about the merit points he has now, Jiang Wen is not so afraid. If Chi Yao comes again, he will definitely make her pay.
