Fairy, you call this repaying a debt of gratitude?

Shen Weiqiang suppressed the anger within him and walked up to the girl.

He reached out and suddenly lifted the girl's delicate, white chin with one hand, forcing her to sit up from her curled-up position. Her neck tilted back slightly, revealing a pale yet beautiful face.

"You said you're Gu Hanfeng's daughter..."

He paused, then tightened his grip slightly with his fingertips.

"Was he really that bad to you? Why are you so determined to die, with no will to live?"

The girl didn't speak, but stared blankly at the ground, her tears already dried.

Those clear eyes were slightly red, as if they had been crying for a long time, but there was no sadness on her face.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Wei became even more curious, so he continued to ask:

"Even if he treated you badly, what about your mother? What about your brothers and sisters? They probably died at my hands too. Don't you... hate me?"

The evil dragon within Shen Wei's body instantly became restless, as if it had found nourishing sustenance.

The Evil Dragon has always acted this way, amplifying all of its host's desires and emotions infinitely, feeding on them, and gradually eroding the host's rationality.

"Shut up, you bastard."

Shen Wei cursed inwardly, and the strange feeling in his chest lessened somewhat.

But the girl remained silent.

Answer my question, and I'll give you a quick death.

"I don't need it anymore..."

The girl's voice was very soft.

"Could you please move away from me?"

Shen Wei raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his face:

But I won't.

"what ever."

These words left Shen Wei speechless. He looked at the girl in front of him with complicated emotions. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so why did she seem so indifferent to everything?

What exactly did she go through?

For a moment, he was at a loss.

Faced with someone who is determined to die, his methods and threats are like hitting cotton, having no effect whatsoever.

During the stalemate, the two were very close. The girl's cool, refreshing scent of white plum blossoms wafted onto his nose on the night breeze, a faint and lingering fragrance.

Despite its cool and aloof aura, it was like a small fire, quietly stirring the anger and desires he had been suppressing deep inside.

The evil dragon within his body seemed to be stimulated by this aura, becoming even more agitated.

Having absorbed the resentment of the entire Gu family, the evil dragon's power was now far beyond his control. He tried his best to suppress it, but he only felt his rationality being devoured little by little, and the scarlet in his eyes spread again.

The girl looked at his rapid breathing and his increasingly strange eyes. Her originally indifferent gaze seemed to have gained a different kind of emotion.

"hehe."

The girl suddenly chuckled softly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Shen Wei's voice was terribly hoarse, his breathing disordered, as he suppressed the agitation within him and stared at her fiercely.

"The reason you killed everyone in the Gu family must be because my father was your enemy."

He suppressed his breathing and continued to ask.

"How do you know? What if I only accepted a bribe from your father's enemy?"

"Your eyes don't lie. My father had too many enemies, and too many people sought revenge against him. But... you're the first to succeed."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Shen Wei's eyes turned bloodshot, and his aura became strange.

"To lust after the daughter of your enemy, you are truly a hopeless scumbag."

Shen Wei was panting heavily, his warm breath hitting the girl's pretty, aloof face.

The girl unconsciously closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, revealing a slender, fair neck, which looked rather endearing.

Although she said that, in Shen Wei's eyes, her submissive demeanor with her eyes closed gave off an air of being at his mercy.

"...Are you yearning for it?"

The girl slowly opened her eyes, her gaze unwavering, and readily admitted it:

"Since I'm going to die anyway, experiencing something I've never experienced before... doesn't seem like a bad idea."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over his face, and added, "Besides, you're not bad looking."

After saying that, she closed her eyes again, looking completely at ease, without any resistance or shyness.

But after a long time, Shen Wei did not make any further moves.

The girl slowly opened her eyes again, looked at Shen Wei who was struggling before her, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, and spoke in an icy tone:

"hypocritical."

Seeing the girl's disdainful expression, Shen Wei's desire to conquer was completely ignited.

"Heh, I'm hardly a gentleman anyway!"

After saying that, Shen Wei could no longer hold back. Driven by desire, he forcefully tore at the girl's thin fabric with his large hands.

The girl lay on the cold ground, looking at the man who had gone mad for her, and a faint smile crept onto her lips.

In the lonely courtyard of the Gu family mansion, the bright moonlight shone down, and a naked young girl smiled radiantly.

For some reason, upon seeing that smile, Shen Wei's previously chaotic and frantic mind became clearer than ever before.

The evil dragon within him seemed to be suppressed by that smile, and its agitation gradually subsided.

He released his grip and stood up.

He suddenly realized that his state of mind was really not right.

He was certainly not a gentleman; his hands were stained with blood, and he had been driven by hatred. But he no longer wanted to be controlled by desires that did not belong to him.

"You said you are Gu Hanfeng's daughter..."

"I suddenly feel that Gu Hanfeng's death was far too easy, far too lenient for him."

"Do you know that the worthless lives of people like those in the Gu family are not even worth a life for the people Gu Hanfeng has killed?"

This time, it was the girl's turn to frown and ask him in return:

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"You want to die... I won't. I'll make sure you live."

"Are you an idiot?"

The girl's tone became somewhat agitated.

"Gu Hanfeng is eager for me to die. What you're doing won't serve any purpose of revenge; on the contrary, it will only fulfill his wish."

Do you think I'd believe that?

Shen Wei sneered, his gaze falling on her waist—where there was nothing at the moment.

"You had a jade pendant tied around your waist with that white shirt you were wearing earlier. The purpose of that jade pendant was to shield your aura, right?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes finally changed completely, and her tone became somewhat flustered.

How did you know?

"That's not important."

Shen Wei waved his hand.

"The reason Gu Hanfeng gave you this jade pendant must be because he values ​​you highly, right? You are his youngest daughter, and you are so talented. Naturally, he has no reason to dislike you, much less wish for your death."

At this moment, the girl's clothes had already been removed, and the jade pendant, which not only concealed her aura but also shielded her cultivation level, naturally disappeared as well.

Shen Wei slowly scanned the girl before him with his divine sense. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet she possessed the strength of the Golden Core stage. Such talent would be considered heaven-defying anywhere.

"You're pretending to be determined to die, probably to lower my guard and then take this opportunity to avenge me and the entire Gu family, isn't that right?"

"Shut up."

"Could it be that I guessed right, and he's getting angry out of embarrassment?"

"No...you're wrong. I just find your nonsense annoying."

Shen Wei assumed she was putting up a stubborn resistance and was about to continue questioning her when the girl abruptly interrupted him.

"If what you say is true, and my desire for death is just a facade, a pretext for revenge, then wouldn't killing me be a better option?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wei was startled. The certainty on his face vanished instantly, and his suspicions began to waver.

He suddenly remembered that when he had grabbed the girl's neck, there was no fear or terror on her face. Instead, there was a smile that was almost a sense of relief. It was so genuine and so calm that it couldn't have been faked.

"Then why is that?"

Why should I tell you?

Shen Wei composed himself, stopped worrying, and calmly spoke:

"You don't have to tell me. I'll keep you by my side. Whether you truly want to die or seek revenge, I won't let you have your way. One day, I'll make you tell me the truth yourself."

"Heh, wishful thinking."

Shen Wei stepped forward, looking down at her:

"Shall we give it a try?"
