Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 370 Don't eat Duan's blood bun, thank you.

Zhang Zhiyao is now stuck in a rut, obsessing over everything. The more you tell her it's not your fault and that you're also a victim, the more she feels that she's the root of the problem. She's the kind of person you can't get back to.

When faced with this kind of troubled girl, all Duan Huaige has to do is follow her train of thought!
"Still denying it was you... If it weren't for you planting the seed of demonic intent in that demoness, allowing her to possess and break through the Dragon Tiger Mountain formation, how could the Celestial Master's Mansion have fallen into such a crisis... How could I have perished on the spot, only to be tormented daily by that demoness within the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Soul Banner..."

"I'm so miserable..."

Duan Huaige's words were like a torture test for Zhang Zhiyao's heart, causing her face to turn even paler. Tears welled in her almond-shaped eyes as she shook her head uncontrollably, saying, "I'm sorry... I didn't expect it to be like this... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have tried to be a hero. If I hadn't thought about becoming a Celestial Master, I wouldn't have entered the Karma Array; if I hadn't entered the Karma Array, I wouldn't have had the seed of demonic intent planted in me... Waaaaah... It's all my fault... I'm so sorry to everyone..."

Zhang Zhiyao became increasingly distressed as she spoke, and finally burst into tears. Duan Huaige rebuked her sharply, "Crying? Crying doesn't count as time! Do you think crying here will save me or cry Taiqing to death?"

Zhang Zhiyao was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying. No matter how high her cultivation level or how precocious she was, she was still just a nine-year-old girl. Faced with such a huge blame being placed on her back, all she could do was vent her fear with tears.

"Then, what should I do?" Zhang Zhiyao's eyes were gloomy as he muttered to himself, "A life for a life. Since I owe you... then I'll return this life to you!"

As she spoke, she channeled the Five Thunderbolts of Yang energy into her palm, preparing to strike herself on the forehead in a gesture of instant suicide to atone for her sins. Duan Huaige, seeing this, rushed forward and stopped her, saying solemnly:

"Do you think such a grave mistake can be forgiven with death?"

"Zhang Zhiyao! You're too naive! You think you can become a Celestial Master just because you have high cultivation and great prestige. But becoming a Celestial Master isn't that easy!"

"What you are about to receive is not just a prestigious title, but also a heavy responsibility! Do you think your master was truly helpless against Taiqing back then? Wrong! He was worried about the thousand-year foundation of the Celestial Master's Mansion!"

"Now you think you can just wash your hands of the mess you've made, with so many people injured and some even killed, and then use your own death to wipe away the debt? Is this the demeanor of the next Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain?"

"Then, what should I do?" Zhang Zhiyao asked, looking completely bewildered.

"You can die, but not now. You must complete your own redemption and avenge those who were injured or killed by Taiqing! And the wronged souls of Shushan, they all need someone to avenge them!"

“These debts will all be settled with Taiqing! You must personally avenge us!”

Zhang Zhiyao's eyes gradually brightened, the previous emptiness and gloom were replaced, and his spirit was restored.

Yes, Duan Huaige is right... It would be easiest for me to die now, but it would be the hardest to avenge those people... How could this Celestial Master be the kind of person who is afraid of difficulties?
That damned vixen! I'll make you pay for this blood debt with my own hands! And Brother Duan too…

Even though he died at the hands of that witch, he still thought of coming back to encourage and support me…

Thinking of this, a gentle light appeared in Zhang Zhiyao's eyes. She wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Brother Duan, I understand! I will definitely not let you down! One day, I will surely kill that witch and place her head before your spirit as an offering!"

"..."

No way, you've only just recovered and you're already bragging like this? Dude, did I give you too much hype?

"If you can think this way, I'll be very gratified in heaven." Duan Huaige gently stroked the girl's head and said softly, "Brother Duan will definitely wait for the day you avenge me." The wicked little Taoist priest obediently rested her head on Duan Huaige's waist, letting him gently stroke her like a child. This was originally the way she hated being treated, but now... after all, the dead should be respected, and it's good for Duan Huaige to rest in peace...

But as he was being touched, Zhang Zhiyao suddenly realized something was wrong.

How come the ghost's hand is warm? And I can even hug its physical form?

She looked up, bewildered, and touched the "blood" on Duan Huaige's face with her hand. The sweet cherry juice flowed onto her tongue, causing Zhang Zhiyao's face to darken instantly...

"Little glutton, why are you eating your brother's blood-soaked bun?" Duan Huaige said with a doting expression.

"Duan Huaige! You bastard! I'll kill you!"

Zhang Zhiyao suddenly lost her temper and flew into a rage, lunging forward to try and scratch his face, but Duan Huaige, who was prepared, dodged her: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you repaying kindness with enmity? I went through so much trouble to comfort you, and you not only didn't treat me to a meal, but you even tried to attack me."

"I'll treat you to a lightning strike!" Zhang Zhiyao's palm crackled with electricity. Seeing this, Duan Huaige didn't intend to suffer a loss, so he quickly left Zhang Zhiyao's room.

"Alright, alright, now that you've pulled yourself together, stop thinking about killing yourself! Taiqing isn't dead yet, if you die now, wouldn't that be the act of a coward?"

"Cheer up! There will be plenty of opportunities to clash with Taiqing in the future!"

Two bolts of lightning struck the door, leaving faint charred marks on the frame. Watching Duan Huaige disappear in a flash, Zhang Zhiyao let out a heavy snort.

That damned Duan Huaige, he's clearly just trying to take this opportunity to laugh at me...

However… this guy did make a good point: Taiqing is still alive, and I'm already dead. Who will avenge me?
Just you wait, Taiqing. One day, this Celestial Master will electrocute you so badly that even your own mother won't recognize you!
As she thought this, and the hatred in her mind grew stronger, the demonic seed that the old Celestial Master had previously cleared away seemed to receive some kind of nourishment, and began to appear faintly beneath Zhang Zhi's skin after he shook his neck...

……

After resolving the girl's psychological issues, Duan Huaige quickly went to see Qin Shuangjiang, Xie Cangling, and others to explain her intention to return to her hometown in Jiangnan first.

Although Miss Shuangjiang had some doubts about this, she didn't ask too many questions.

"Shuangjiang, do you want to come back with me?"

Qin Shuangjiang shook her head: "I need to go back to Yanjing first and tell Grandpa Yan about what happened here. After all, there are some things that are not convenient to say too much in the military's battle reports."

Upon hearing this, Duan Huaige seemed to realize something and quickly said, "Then Frost's Descent, is it related to..."

"Don't worry, I won't say too much about your childhood sweetheart..." Qin Shuangjiang crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "After all, she's someone's darling. I have to be careful what I say about her, even when I beat her up. How could I dare to say bad things about her?"
