She came too late, so she didnât know that in that thick layer of ashes, many of them tried to attack Sima Jiao in despair. But what was the result?
Sima Jiao killed them by waving his hand, and everyone backed away. At this time, the faces of the survivors were full of excitement of escape.
âThose are?â Liao Tingyan looked at the dust on the ground.
Sima Jiao: âDuring my absence, something strange has happened. So I dealt with it.â
Hong Luo was trembling in her arms and Liao Tingyan patted her comfortingly.
Sima Jiao finally noticed Hong Luo and glanced at the little girl, âWho is this?â
Liao Tingyan raised her and introduced, âHong Luo, the friend I wanted to resurrect before.â First show your face to the boss, lest you be killed by the boss one day.
Hong Luo pumped her short legs, ââŠâ My friend,I beg you to let me go. Donât let me face the demon lord. To tell the truth, I am a little scared now.
Sima Jiao said nothing. He pulled Liao Tingyan to her feet. Seeing the opportunity, Hong Luo jumped down, followed the black snake and walked by herself, not daring to stay in her arms anymore.
Liao Tingyan was grasped by him. His palm was a little hot, which was not normal because his body was always cold. She moved her fingers. Sima Jiao grabbed her fingers tightly, and didnât let her move.
Liao Tingyan looked at him, âYou killed people directly with fire?â But she had heard before that Sima Jiao, the great demon of Winter City, loved to kill with his hands, so he was happy when he was bloodied.
Sima Jiao didnât answer that question, but smiled, âTheir fear of the Fengshan Spirit Fire has been slowly carved into my bones.â
Sima Jiao touched her forehead with his thumb, and changed the subject, âI caught Shi Zhenxu.â
Liao Tingyan subconsciously moved.
Sima Jiao: âDo you want to see him?â
That question⊠Generally, the correct answer was definitely no, but considering that this fake brother often helped her, she felt it necessary to take a look.
She cleared her throat and asked, âCan I answer yes?â
âYou can if you want,â he said casually and didnât care. He brushed Liao Tingyanâs hair and let her go.
This powerful self-confidence was worthy of being the worldâs No. 1 boss.
Liao Tingyan went to see Shi Zhenxu who was locked up. After she left, Sima Jiao stared at Hong Luo indifferently, and she nervously hugged the black snake next to her.
She thought, âMother, this old ancestor wonât think I am pestering her. Am I an eyesore and he wants to make me disappear?!â
Sima Jiao: âWill I kill you?â
Hong Luo: âYou will.â
Sima Jiao looked at her for a moment: âI can give you everything you want, and in the future, I want you to do something for her.â
Hong Luo nodded like smashing garlic, âI can, I can!â
Liao Tingyan didnât know what had happened to Hong Luo. She went to see Shi Zhenxu and found that his condition was okay, but his expression was a little haggard.
ââŠBrother?â Liao Tingyan still called him because she had borrowed money from him.
Shi Zhenxu looked at her with a complex expression, there was a trace of disgust and vigilance in his eyes, âSince you remember, why do you still call me like this? Are you humiliating me?â
Wrong, she did not remember.
Liao Tingyan scratched her face.
Perhaps he could see something from the look on her face. Shi Zhenxuâs eyes widened in amazement, âCould it be that you havenât recovered your memory? In that case, why did you fall into Sima Jiaoâs arms?â
Liao Tingyan: âBecause of love?â
Shi Zhenxu choked. He was really unable to answer these words. He turned and laughed, âAlthough it is not easy to restore your memory, Sima Jiao can definitely do it. He didnât restore your memory. Guess why? Because he didnât want you to remember things. Whatever he told you during this period of time is a lie! He is lying to you!â
Shi Zhenxu now had nothing. Since he was caught by Sima Jiao, he would only die. Even if he was dead, he wanted to make Sima Jiao uncomfortable. If he could provoke the feelings of these two people, naturally it was best.
Liao Tingyan said nothing more, sighed, and left.
She remembered the days when she lived with Shi Qianli and Shi Zhenxu. They always tried to persuade her that because she was born into a Shi family, she had to sacrifice for the family. Personal likes and dislikes, and the future was meaningless. There was only one family and one surname that was meaningful.
It was like a cult brainwashing, so she always didnât believe it, and at one time she wondered if she was in a MLM organization. (Multi Level marketing: Like pyramid scheme)
But after living together for a few years, was there really no trace of affection? She had, but this kind of affection was out of fashion, and it was not good for anyone.
Sima Jiao was waiting for her outside.
Liao Tingyan walked over and heard Sima Jiao say, âI wonât kill him, but he will be imprisoned here forever.â
For Liao Tingyanâs sake, he could ignore dealing with the spirits of this Shi family so that he could reincarnate normally into the soul pool.
After Sima Jiao finished speaking, he wiped Liao Tingyanâs eye with his thumb, âOnly this one, Shi Qianli must die, understand?â
Liao Tingyan sniffed and nodded.
She took the initiative to hold Sima Jiaoâs hand, âCanât I restore my previous memories?â
Sima Jiao: âIf you think you can, think whatever you want.â
Liao Tingyan said again, âI believe you.â
Sima Jiao: âIt doesnât matter if you donât believe it.â
He didnât care about it. If it was the person he liked, it didnât matter just because he was willing.
Whether she believed him or not, whether she loved him or not, it didnât matter.
Liao Tingyan stayed quiet for a while, then said, âDao lord, do you want to have double cultivation? The one that opens the spirit palace?â
She thought Sima Jiao would not agree, because during this time, he had never said that he wanted to double cultivate the spiritual palace. She always felt that he was avoiding it. Maybe it was because she lost her memory and felt unsafe?
Sima Jiao agreed, âIf you want, naturally.â
Liao Tingyan finally understood why Sima Jiao did not engage in the double cultivation of the spiritual palace. She saw Sima Jiaoâs spiritual palace. The earth disappeared and turned into a surging crimson fire slurry. The sky was full of flames, and was covered with scorching fireworks. This was a spiritual palace that suffocated her. She couldnât even touch those flames. The only thing her soul could stand on was a small piece of ground with flowers.
Liao Tingyan laid on the ground blankly. Her eyes slowly regained clarity.
She turned over and choked, âIf it was an ordinary person, wonât it hurt them to death?â
Sima Jiao turned her around, âAm I an ordinary person?â
