Chapter 640 Life and Death Decision
"Don't make too much of a fuss."
When the Saint was wantonly playing with the seriously injured Taoist Ruwei, the Demon Lord finally spoke.
Ran Ran listened and felt that something was wrong.
As the incident has escalated to the point it is now, the Demon Lord's attitude is too ambiguous.
He did not unconditionally favor the Saint as rumored, nor did he come to help as Master Xuanyuan had expected.
His attitude and position are very "ambiguous", at least Ranran can't see clearly now.
The hand that the saint was extending towards Taoist Ruwei paused.
"Is this considered nonsense?" She curled her lips indifferently, "If I were to say, killing everyone here would be considered nonsense."
"Don't go back on your word when you promise something to others." The Demon Lord walked towards the Saint, his black robe shining with the moonlight shining on it reflected on the snow, as if the white world was suddenly filled with thick black fog.
The Saint was unmoved. "Old Xuanyuan is just talking to himself. What does it have to do with me?"
"I never said I would agree to him from the beginning to the end."
The Demon Lord seemed to see what the Saint was thinking and sighed softly, "On the path of cultivation, the most important thing is to cultivate one's body and mind."
"You need to control your desires."
Upon hearing this, the saint's face showed a hint of impatience, which stunned Ranran.
She never expected that the Demon Lord and the Saint would get along like this.
Just the two sentences the Demon Lord said just now... are even more righteous than Xuan Yuan Zhenren, the leader of the righteous path...
But if you think about it, you can understand it... After all, with the Saint's cultivation and temperament, if the Demon Lord had not always led the Saint onto the right path, the Saint would have grown into a great devil long ago.
The Demon Lord's voice paused slightly. The Saint's rebellion was within his expectations, but the Saint's rebellion against him obviously exceeded his expectations.
"What happened during my retreat?"
His voice even sounded a little depressed, like an old father who had been away from home for too long and was estranged from his daughter.
The saint said nothing, but walked to Ranran and hooked her neck with her elbow.
The Demon Lord immediately looked at Ran Ran.
The cold gaze was like a black fog that gradually spread in the cold night. Ranran gritted his teeth and endured it, feeling the bone-chilling coldness uncontrollably wandering through his limbs.
The Demon Lord's scrutiny really sent chills down her spine.
"…same type, your new toy?"
The Demon Lord gave this evaluation after observing it for a long time.
Ran Ran was stunned for a moment before she realized that the Demon Lord was talking about the similarities in appearance between her and Gu Qingjue... No, it was the similarities in appearance between Shen Yanwen and Gu Qingjue.
The Saint immediately said in dissatisfaction: "I don't lack toys. This one is of my kind."
She pulled Ran Ran's face and boasted: "To be precise, it's the soul in this guy's body."
"Two souls in one body?" The Demon Lord's eyes gradually narrowed, with complex emotions in his deep eyes. Ran Ran wanted to analyze it, but he couldn't understand the meaning.
"Isn't it strange that you know this?" The saint seemed to be proud of Ranran and Shen Yanwen's situation.
In response to the Saint's question, the Demon Lord simply smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "I have known about it before, so I know a little bit." "Strange... but more than strange."
It was not until Ran Ran noticed the abnormality in the Demon Lord's words and looked at him that the Demon Lord slowly restrained his expression.
Surprise, relief... and vigilance, these were the remaining emotions that Ranran found on the Demon Lord's face when he looked at him.
Surprise is understandable, but relief and vigilance seem a little strange.
Even when combined with the four vague words from the Demon Lord - "more than strange", Ranran still could not get the answer.
She couldn't even tell why the Demon Lord had relaxed his vigilance.
In short, it is impossible that I have finally witnessed the legendary "two souls in one body".
"You like him very much." The Demon Lord said to the Saint with certainty.
"Many times better than the kid named Gu before."
The Saint did not comment, and thought about it carefully before speaking: "I can find many followers, but of the same kind..." "I should only be able to find this one."
A smile appeared on the Demon Lord's face, "I am very happy."
He looked as if his usually withdrawn daughter had finally made a new friend.
The next second, the topic suddenly changed, and the Demon Lord frowned and said, "I'm just curious about how you are sure."
"Your origins and circumstances should be completely different... He is even just a disembodied soul."
"So what if it's a soul? I naturally have my own way of judging." The saint still hooked her hand around Ranran's neck affectionately.
"So... you have already identified him."
The Demon Lord's eyes slowly narrowed, and Ranran once again felt the chill that penetrated his heart.
The saint was keenly aware of the change in atmosphere and frowned slightly.
"What are you going to do?"
The Demon Lord remained silent, but his eyes were still fixed on Ranran.
The saint made a judgment without spending too much time. She took a step forward and stood in front of Ranran. The cold voice sounded again.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
The Demon Lord pursed his lips, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes, "You protect him so much... but it will make me sad."
The Saint did not react at all, but said calmly: "A long time ago... I said it a long time ago when I had my own consciousness and could communicate with you..."
"No matter what you think of me, no matter how much you give me, I can never give you the same in return."
Ran Ran saw that the Demon Lord clenched his fists, his lowered face was dark and unclear, and the self-mockery on his lips became more and more obvious.
"Of course I know."
The Demon Lord raised his head, his deep eyes tinged with red, "But your ruthlessness... still far exceeded my expectations."
"Between him and me, you can choose him without hesitation..." The Demon Lord sighed, "This is enough to make me feel heartbroken."
There was a flash of struggle on the Saint's face, but in the end she just said coldly, "I can't understand."
"I can choose my followers. You are willing to let me choose. But I cannot choose my own kind..."
"You can't stand it?"
The Demon Lord said slowly: "Just assume that I can't stand it."
Just as Ranran was about to grasp something from these words, the Demon Lord suddenly pointed his large, pale hand at her.
"Anyway, no matter what, you must choose between him and me today."
He grinned and said cruelly: "The choice I'm talking about is not the choice of who to stand in front of, but..."
"The choice of who you are willing to let die."
Ran Ran's pupils suddenly shrank. What was he doing? !
She just felt that the Demon Lord's attitude was ambiguous, but the next moment he gave her such a decisive task? !
She and him should have no grudges, right? As for forcing the Saint to make a life and death decision? !
An adoptive father who raised me, and a “kindred spirit” who I had only known for two days, and who was a soul!
Unless the saint is crazy, any normal person can figure out what to choose using their toes.
The next second, Ranran heard the saint's cold voice.
"Then I can still tell you my choice..."
"constant!"
A bright white light emanated from the saint's hands, and in an instant it became extremely bright.
The saint stood in front of Ranran with an unquestionable attitude of a protector, her voice cold.
"And I can prove this choice with practical actions."
Before she finished her words, her palm flashed with white light and she rushed towards the Demon Lord.
