āSomeone who was just demonized like you will feel the desire to eat humans on nights with a full moon. The intensity gets stronger over time. This desire is caused by the demonic seed inside you; itās something you cannot suppress! There will be a full moon in two days; you seem okay so far, but I bet your desire to eat humans is increasing. Iāve put in a lot of effort to bring you this for your first evil! Consume this high-ranking cultivator of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, and you will be ahead of the others from the start!ā Northern Gambling God persuaded Wang Ke.
Wang Ke, āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..!ā
āBrother Wang, why arenāt you saying anything? Did I misunderstand you? Donāt you have a heated and restless sensation?ā the gambler asked, clearly astonished.
āNo, no,ā Wang Ke quickly replied with an awkward expression, āYou didnāt misunderstand me; Iām the one who misunderstood you. Itās true. Iām feeling fiery and restless!ā
āHahaha, thatās good. Enjoy this beautiful night!ā Northern Gambling God burst out laughing.
āBut isnāt that cultivator still alive? Why not forget about it this time?ā Wang Ke said with a frown.
Suck his blood?But I donāt have the straws!How could I even suck it out?
Northern Gambling God gave me so many well-intended benefits; it wouldnāt be good to turn against him and smack an essence energy ball on his face, right?Letās drag things out as much as possible!
āBrother Wang, itās all right. Although thereās a quota set when sucking blood from the righteous prisoners, this man is different. Didnāt you see it that day? A small amount of blood was left to keep him alive so he could regenerate and replenish his blood essence after the Chapter Lord sucked his blood. Even so, this dumb*ss dared to go on a hunger strike! He doesnāt want to live any longer. He refuses food and spirit stones to recover his essence energy and is merely letting his body deteriorate. Thereās no point keeping him alive since heās that intent on dying. I shall leave the remaining bit of blood so that Brother Wang completes his demonic transformation! Use his life and blood essence to help you break through in a grand way!ā Northern Gambling God explained.
Wang Ke understood what the other was proposing. Committing the first evil is to kill someone?Sucking blood essence wasnāt enough; he needed to suck the victimās blood until the latter died. Only then would it be counted as the first evil, thus completing the baptism for his demonic transformation. With iniquity comes demonic Qi.
But Wang Ke had not been demonized; neither did he have straws, nor the appetite to eat a human!
āI appreciate your goodwill. Such good quality food would be wasted on me. How about⦠next time, next time?ā Wang Ke was about to leave the cavern room.
Next time? The gambling demonās eyes widened.
Next time your a**!I already guaranteed the Chapter Lord that we would keep you here for some time and prevent you from appearing in front of anyone. If you suddenly refuse to play along, wouldnāt our plan be ruined?I already gave you someone with the highest quality, but youāre not moved by him?
āBrother Wang, donāt leave it for another day. Do you know how much effort I put in to get him? Please donāt let my effort go down the drain!ā Northern Gambling God said anxiously.
āBut, look at how dirty he is. I feel disgusted just by looking at him! Next time, next time!ā Wang Ke refused the offer.
āHis neck is clean; you just need to suck his blood. Why do you need other places to be cleaned? Why donāt I help you clean him up if you dislike it this much?ā Northern Gambling God looked at Wang Ke, hopefully.
Wang Ke could see that the latter was trying to hold back, but was almost to the point of bursting out.
Wang Ke had a bad feeling. The Northern Gambling God was still trying to keep his hostility at bay. But if he insisted on refusing, the demon could really turn violent and a fight would ensue! It was still unclear who would have the upper hand and win the fight, the demon gambler surely had many helpers outside. Turn hostile?Itās not good for me!
āOkay then. Thank you for the gift!ā Wang Ke could only express his gratitude.
His words sounded heavenly to the demonās ears. Finally! I was about to bash him.
Still, the most I could do would be knocking him outbecause the Chapter Lord wants to frame him. He wants Wang Ke to be framed while heās well and alive⦠How could we frame him if something bad were to happen to him?Whatās the point of framing someone who is dead or severely injured?
Northern Gambling God was elated after hearing Wang Ke accept the offer.
āGood, good. Brother Wang, I shall leave first so you can enjoy yourself. Hahaha! Donāt worry. I will lock the door from the outside. This way Iāll guarantee that no one will come and disturb you. Hahaha!ā Northern Gambling God turned around and ran out of the room.
āBang!ā
He shut the door without any hesitation and locked it up.
Once this was done, the gambling demon heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Damn. Why is it so hard to frame Wang Ke! Oh well, good thing that itās over. Haha! Northern Gambling God quickly left the place, feeling good about himself.
āāāā
Inside the room!
Wang Ke watched with a deep frown as Northern Gambling God left. It seemed that locking him in that room was part of their scheme.
What should I do now?Just wait here?
No, I must act.At least, I canāt simply stay inside the room and let them have their way.
How do I get out?I canāt leave by the main door!
Next, Wang Ke took out a bunch of enchanted spades. He tried to remember the best way to make a tunnel after he carefully studied the soil composition inside the cave. Wang Ke was about to use his specialty: digging his way out!ā
āClang, clang, clangā¦ā¦!ā
Wang Keās sweat fell like raindrops as he dug into the cavern wall. His plan was to leave by one of the sides. The atmosphere in the room became very peculiar at that moment.
Especially for the disheveled second senior apprentice who had a drooping head while tied up.
He wanted to die, but he also wanted to drag a demon alongside him. Despite having his shoulder blades pierced and cultivation energy sealed, he had a secret spell that could deal the last blow before his death.
He had spent great effort to prepare it; the only thing left to do was to wait for the demon to approach him.
Still, the two demons had talked for a long time, and none of them had moved close to him. Iām holding the secret spellās essence Qi in my mouth. Why arenāt you two coming over!
After a long while passed, the two demons finally came to an agreement. One left, while the other one stayed.
Is the other one staying?
The righteous cultivator readied himself to die together with the demon. He lowered his head and waited for an opportunity. Once the demon was within close proximity, he would spit out an arrow of essence Qi that would deal a fatal blow; both of them would die together.
But, whatās with all the noise?
The second senior apprentice lifted up his head. Only then did he realize that the demon was making a hole in the wall.
Heās digging into the wall?You are doing that, but what do I do with the essence Qi in my mouth?I canāt hold it much longer!
What the hell are you doing?Such a critical time⦠Are you trying to carve a wall cabinet for the room?
