118: Chapter 118 The Green Snake is probably a pervert.
"Ahhh! Are you crazy!"
"Aren't you considering the consequences!"
Wang Lizhi stared at Xu Qing's exquisite face, feeling his entire Soul tremble.
Perhaps his mind was becoming clouded under the intense pain.
Vaguely, it was as if he saw not a young girl, but a massive, coiled green snake.
The green snake flicked its tongue, looking down at him with eyes full of contempt.
"Those people are just commoners; in the capital's East City, they are just livestock raised by my Wang Residence!"
"Just livestock!"
Wang Lizhi seemed unable to maintain his sanity or composure any longer.
The once refined and elegant man now had disheveled hair as he squirmed on the ground, lifting his head.
His expression was hideous.
"Ahhh, how delightful for a snake."
Xu Qing excitedly removed the cloth covering his eyes.
Only then did those present see Xu Qing's pupils.
One black and one white, they were incredibly eerie, unlike anything human.
Everyone present felt goosebumps rise; how could they not realize by now? This was no Fairy, but a demon wearing human skin.
Thinking back, they had actually been trying to reason with a demon and threaten a monster that lacked a human heart.
Ridiculous, and terrifying.
"Lord Immortal Demon! Lord Immortal Demon!"
"Spare my Wang family, and we will offer you a Human Feast every year!"
"Whether it be pure young maidens, or..."
Before Wang Naiping could finish, a sharpened wooden stake pierced straight through him from bottom to top, skewering the Human Pig.
He was pinned to the ground, clearly on the verge of death.
"For failing to discipline your grandson properly, your sin is unforgivable."
"Don't think you'll die so easily. Heal."
Xu Qing flicked his finger, and a cluster of green light merged into Wang Naiping's forehead.
Wang Naiping, whose consciousness was fading and who was about to die, felt a jolt of spirit as he regained clarity.
But the horrifying pain throughout his body made him wish for the sweet release of death instead.
A demon—this was a demon.
No matter how much they pleaded or what they did, this monster would torture them for its own amusement.
Communication was simply impossible.
Everyone present realized this fact.
Then, a terrifying sense of despair surged over them like a tide.
There was no way to resist...
"Ahhh, bastard, don't kill me!"
"I can't die here!"
"I have a bright future, how can I die here!"
Wang Lizhi could no longer take it. Looking at the smile on Xu Qing's face and those eerie eyes, he desperately squirmed his remaining torso toward the exit.
Even the rough ground grinding against the stumps of his severed limbs couldn't stop his movement.
Tears, snot, and excrement flowed freely.
He remembered how he had once turned women he was tired of into Human Pigs for fun.
Now, he seemed to understand that pain.
"Where are you going, Young Master?"
"This Snake hasn't had enough fun yet."
Xu Qing beckoned with his hand, and dozens of tentacle-like vines extended from beneath his robes, dragging Wang Lizhi back.
He left a long trail of blood on the ground.
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
"Don't kill me! I will definitely atone for my sins and turn myself in to the authorities!"
"I will definitely provide proper compensation to those who are still alive!"
Wang Lizhi only wanted to live; only by living would he have a chance for revenge.
As long as he reported the appearance of a demon in the capital, an Immortal would surely come to avenge him.
"None of my business."
Xu Qing waved his hand, and the vines binding Wang Lizhi tightened bit by bit, growing and burrowing beneath his skin.
They began to peel off a complete human skin, inch by inch.
"Don't look, Mother."
Elder Li, watching from above, covered Daya's eyes.
Lest this green snake corrupt the child.
"Hmm... the interesting part is coming."
Elder Li looked down at the Wang Residence and narrowed his eyes.
Inside the Wang Residence.
It was currently a scene from Hell.
Only a spotless figure in green robes stood at the center of this Asura Field.
A smile played on his lips, his face full of excitement, and his pair of eerie eyes glowed with a strange light.
Swoosh, swoosh!
A gust of yin wind blew past.
A red figure landed beside the green shadow.
"The main character is here, stop sleeping."
Xu Qing shook a lump of blood-red flesh awake.
Then he used Heal again, restoring the eyes and mouth of this lump of meat.
He regretted it as soon as he finished the healing.
"Ahhh, I'm going to kill you!"
"You'll die a horrible death! You bastard, you female devil!"
"I want you dead, ahhh, I definitely want you dead!"
Xu Qing looked at Wang Lizhi.
Someone who didn't know better might think he was the villain.
Honestly, what was he saying to a kind-hearted and pure Auspicious Beast River God like him?
"Well, are you satisfied?"
"If not, I can restore them all to their original state and let you torture them all over again."
Xu Qing looked toward Scarlet Swallow.
The blood-red figure did not speak.
Hearing these words, Wang Lizhi couldn't sit still; he struggled with his body and looked at the woman in red.
"Spare me!"
"Just spare me, and my Wang Residence will give you endless wealth and glory!"
"Haha!"
Xu Qing burst out laughing and looked at Wang Lizhi.
At this moment, seeing that pair of eerie, terrifying pupils, Wang Lizhi couldn't help but tremble.
Even the agonizing pain that could drive a person mad ceased for an instant.
No matter how beautiful that face was, it could no longer make him feel anything but fear.
"Why are you helping me?"
Scarlet Swallow asked.
"It's not that I want to help you, it's just that they are too much of bastards."
"Besides, I wouldn't want to miss such a perfectly justified opportunity to torture people."
'But why is it increasing my Vicious Beast Rank instead of my Auspicious Beast one?'
'I'm clearly doing a good deed by punishing evil!'
The last two sentences were Xu Qing's inner complaints.
Whenever he did even a little bit of evil, his Vicious Beast Rank would immediately shoot up.
Yet as a River God, after doing so many good deeds, his Auspicious Beast Rank was still only Lv3.
Xu Qing would certainly never admit that his talent for being a Vicious Beast was far higher than for being an Auspicious Beast.
Being an Auspicious Beast wasn't necessarily fun.
But being a Vicious Beast was truly a blast.
"Just kill them; having gone through such torture, it should be enough."
When Scarlet Swallow said this, Xu Qing's head snapped toward her.
What the Hell, this is enough?
You're the aggrieved party, you're the victim, Young Miss!
You're currently a Vengeful Ghost with lingering resentment!
You're just going to let him die so easily?
At the very least, he should be tortured until the end of his natural lifespan, and then his Soul should be extracted to serve as a Sky Lantern for a thousand years.
"What!"
"You bastard, how can you decide my life so casually!"
"Just for those trash! I am Wang Lizhi, how can I pay with my life for those low-lifes!"
Hearing that he was to die, that lump of meat squirmed and shouted.
Even after being turned into this, he still had such a burning will to live; Xu Qing was starting to feel a bit of admiration.
"Did you hear that?"
"Trash like this will never admit their mistakes."
"Even if they do admit them, they are only yielding to torture, seeking the release of death."
"Trash like this deserves to suffer endless torment!"
Xu Qing spoke with righteous indignation.
Scarlet Swallow remained silent, but hearing Wang Lizhi's unrepentant remarks and Xu Qing's instigation,
The red light on her body grew more and more intense.
"...Just who is the Vengeful Ghost here..."
Elder Li, watching from above, couldn't help but wonder.
