464: You are so bad

Lilith’s strong expression of resistance to the honey trap actually surprised Xiao Fan.

He hadn’t expected Lilith to truly be as chaste as the rumors suggested, because she seemed so flirtatious and loved to display her beauty.

It seems one cannot judge a book by its cover.

Xiao Fan naturally didn’t know about Lilith’s family matters.

In short, this made him miscalculate.

But it was still the same old saying: as long as the profit margin exceeded a certain percentage, any bottom line became meaningless.

The value of an essence blood from a young Emperor Blood Genius was immeasurable for Lilith’s improvement.

As expected, Lilith still didn’t want to give up an Emperor Blood essence blood.

So she asked,

“Are you sure you have a way to complete the plan without damaging my reputation at all?”

“Not even a tiny bit!”

Ting Qiao smiled, “Please listen to me, Your Highness.”

“…”

After the plan was explained,

Lilith’s face revealed a hint of excitement, and she said, “You are so vicious.”

Seeing Lilith’s expectant look, Xiao Fan also breathed a sigh of relief; he felt more and more that this was just a little girl who could be easily coaxed with a few words.

But he couldn’t let his guard down.

So even though Lilith’s smile gradually broadened,

Xiao Fan remained extremely cautious.

“Alright, then let me talk about the third method.”

“This method is for Geniuses of Huang Lin’s level.”

Now, because of the Awakening of memories, Emperor Blood is no longer the best Bloodline of the Demon Race.

Those like Lilith and Huang Lin will be stronger, but whether they surpass Emperor Blood is something no one can confirm, but they are definitely a cut above Emperor Blood.

Lilith was even a little shocked this time.

“You still have a way to deal with someone like Huang Lin?”

This “deal with” didn’t mean defeating Huang Lin, but being able to secretly kill him, obtain his essence blood, and also completely clear themselves of any blame, making others believe they were innocent.

“Tell me,” Lilith became even more excited.

Ting Qiao slowly said, “It is well known that there are still several Super God Class members active in the Ghost Forest War Zone year-round.”

“Lin Xianhuo and Ling Tianlei, to avenge Xiao Fan, have been slaughtering Ghost Race members in the Ghost Forest for over a year.”

“Oh? You have a way to deal with them?” Lilith raised an eyebrow, her interest immediately piqued.

She subconsciously thought that the Genius of Huang Lin’s level Ting Qiao mentioned were Lin Xianhuo and Ling Tianlei. If she could kill these two people close to Xiao Fan, she would finally get her revenge!

But Ting Qiao cleared his throat and said, “Your Highness, these few are not easy to kill!”

“Then who are you referring to?” Lilith frowned.

“It’s like this: the Eighth War Zone is basically ruined now, so next, we can find a way to bring more Geniuses who have Awakened their memories and obtained stronger Bloodlines, equivalent to the Demon King Group, here. This will definitely include Geniuses on the same level as Huang Lin.”

“At that time, we can set up a plan.”

“On the surface, it’s to deal with Lin Xianhuo and the others in the Eighth War Zone, but in reality, our target is those Emperor Blood Geniuses.”

“When they and Lin Xianhuo are both heavily injured from fighting, we will seize the opportunity to take their Bloodlines!”

As soon as he said this, Lilith’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, “You want to deliberately set a trap to kill other Demon Race Geniuses?”

“Why not?” Ting Qiao said calmly, “We are not from the same clan to begin with; we are inherently in competition with each other!”

“If they are trapped and killed by us, they can only blame themselves for being foolish!”

Lilith, however, sneered and said, “Then why not go kill Ling Tianlei? Why not kill Lin Xianhuo?”

“Because they are hard to kill,” Ting Qiao said indifferently.

“Don’t forget, Your Highness, what kind of relationship these two have with Xiao Fan.”

Lilith frowned and said, “One is Xiao Fan’s brother, and the other is Xiao Fan’s wife. And then?”

Ting Qiao sighed and said, “Your Highness Lilith, although I haven’t fought Xiao Fan, I’ve watched the recordings.”

“I believe your understanding of Xiao Fan is deeper than mine.”

“He is someone who will bite off a piece of his opponent even if he dies.”

“Then the people around him, influenced by him, will also become increasingly crazed.”

“Especially since you know very well that Lin Xianhuo also has that incredibly powerful blade strike.”

“She and Ling Tianlei are also one fire and one lightning.”

“If they truly reached the point of fighting for their lives, they would directly overload with lightning and fire.”

“The result would be that we wouldn’t even get a single piece of meat.”

“Right?”

Hearing this, Lilith understood.

She sighed helplessly, because what the other party said was true.

Xiao Fan and the group of people around him, not one of them cherished their life.

Even that Lawful Utterance, whom they had highly valued before, was willing to directly fall from the altar for some inexplicable things.

This was something only a lunatic would do!

So in Lilith’s eyes, none of those people were normal.

But…

“From your words, it seems you know Xiao Fan and the people around him particularly well?” Lilith suddenly questioned.

Ting Qiao said very calmly, “Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win a hundred battles.”

Hearing this reason, Lilith stopped pressing the issue.

Xiao Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Lilith wasn't foolish at all, and had only been feigning ignorance earlier to trick him into speaking.

Now it seemed she still had some caution, but not much, just a little.

At this moment,

The atmosphere between the two was no longer as distant as it had been at the beginning.

Lilith was utterly fascinated by Ting Qiao.

She smiled and said, “How can you, a Ghost Blade Demon, be so vicious?”

“Your Highness, I am a Demon. I was born incredibly vicious,” Ting Qiao calmly replied.

“Then…” Lilith licked her lips, playing with her newly painted nail polish, and said, “Will you be this vicious towards me too?”

Lilith looked down, staring intently at Ting Qiao.

Ting Qiao frowned.

What kind of question was this?

It was too foolish, wasn’t it?

Could I possibly say yes?

If I said no? Would you believe me?

Shouldn’t you keep this question to yourself, and then secretly investigate me, monitor me, and guard against me?

He looked at Lilith, who was sitting on the throne, narcissistically admiring her nails, and couldn’t help but think,

This might truly be an idiot.

“Your Highness Lilith, of course I would never do such a vicious thing to you.”

“Why?” Lilith raised an eyebrow.

“Because it’s good to lean on a big tree for shade,” Ting Qiao smiled.

“Then why not rely on the Demon Clan behind you? If the Demon Clan knew that a Genius like you, with Emperor Blood, had emerged, they would surely spend countless efforts cultivating you. Wouldn’t that be better than staying by my side?”

Lilith put down her hand and stared coldly at Ting Qiao.

Ting Qiao’s expression didn’t change, and he said coldly, “Because I was once abandoned by the Demon Clan.”

“I deeply remember the hellish life I lived in that clan when I was young. Such days forged my current viciousness!”

“I hate my race!”

“Now, I have transformed, but I will not go back.”

“I want to join the Blood Clan, join your command.”

“I want to slap the entire Demon Clan in the face!”

“Let those who once bullied me see that I can now ride on them and relieve myself anywhere, defecate anywhere, and they still can’t do anything to me!”

This passionate, trembling performance, filled with genuine emotion, completely conquered Lilith.

A hint of sympathy even appeared in Lilith’s eyes.

Although she couldn’t imagine what the other party’s childhood was like,

She remembered that one day when she was little, she complained to King Her that the dinner was unappetizing.

But King Her told her that the dinner she was now disdaining was food many beings only dreamed of.

Many creatures on this vast land lived hellish lives with no end in sight.

Then, King Her actually used his talent to reassemble the food he had thrown on the ground, and quietly sat in a corner of the valley, eating by himself.

The impression was too profound for her.

She felt that King Her was teaching her not to waste food.

But she also felt it was more than that.

Because at that time, King Her’s posture, sitting alone by the blood-colored cliff, was full of loneliness, and he seemed to be reminiscing about something. As he thought, the loneliness turned into pain.

That kind of pain was exactly the same as what Ting Qiao had just displayed.

Therefore, she completely believed this young strong person who had suddenly appeared.

Finally,

Xiao Fan turned away from the blood-colored palace.

Everything went very smoothly with the plan.

But for a moment, he couldn’t feel happy.

Because that performance just now was real.

It was real for Ting Qiao; many scenes from his childhood memories were filled with bullying and insults.

It was also real for Xiao Fan.

It seemed that his viciousness was also due to his childhood.

His childhood told him, if you’re not vicious, how do you survive?

Although he met many good people later,

It was truly difficult to change anymore.

Xiao Fan looked up at the sky, the stars shining brightly, and couldn’t help but ask himself,

Am I a good person?

The lives that have died by my hand are countless.

Thinking about it this way, I must be a sinner.

Sinner…

Xiao Fan gave a self-deprecating smile.

It seemed this title wasn’t pleasant to hear.

But whether I am or not, I won’t change.

A sinner is a sinner; who can stop me?
