Chapter 187 Danli 21 Escape
Xie Wanzhou's words mingled with Wen Li's sobs. She looked at him through teary eyes. Shen Yingsi clenched his fists, turned around, and stared straight at Xie Wanzhou: "You're the ones who hurt her like this!"
Seeing that he stood motionless in front of Wen Li, Xie Wanzhou figured that the child was destined to hate him today.
Xie Xiao stepped forward and explained, "We had no choice but to do this. Wen Li has demonic bones hidden inside her body. She may very well be the reincarnation of the Demon Lord. We must kill her, otherwise the human world will be in danger in the future."
The other sorcerers also hurriedly explained to Shen Yingsi, "Your Highness, this Wen Li is a sorceress; she's the one who harmed us!"
"She now possesses demonic bones and flower rain; once she enters the demon realm, it will truly become her demonic domain. Therefore, she must die."
"Your Highness, please don't be so kind! This is a demon!"
"Your Highness, you should stay away from her immediately, or she might harm you!"
"Your Highness, kill her immediately!"
"Kill this witch!"
Shen Yingsi gripped his spear tightly and shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"
His reddened eyes stared at the people who were speaking, and he said again, "So, it was you who hurt her like this?"
The crowd involuntarily stepped back under his gaze. They had never seen His Highness so wrathful before, as he was usually so gentle.
Xie Wanzhou saw Shen Yingsi's murderous intent and, suppressing his anger, continued to explain to him: "Wen Li is a demonic fetus. Everyone in the Jiang family chose to commit suicide in order to kill her. Wen Li was born with original sin! Moreover, if she becomes a demon in the future, the three realms will be destroyed because of her. The lives of countless people in the world cannot be gambled! This world cannot tolerate her!"
Hearing these words, all Shen Yingsi could think of was Wen Li crying and looking at him; his heart was breaking. How heartbroken she must be...
"She is innocent! Even if she is the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, she is still innocent, and you cannot use this to harm her!"
"Uncle, you know I wrote you so many letters before I left, and you said you would protect her. Is this the result of your protection? Is this what happened to her?"
"Si'er, are you questioning me now?"
Xie Wanzhou said coldly, "So what if I caused it? Wen Li's death was the will of Heaven, and we acted in accordance with Heaven's will. What, are you going to kill me for her sake? Are you going to kill everyone in the world for her sake?!"
Fate? Screw that.
Unable to quell his anger, Shen Yingsi looked at Xie Wanzhou, gripped the Qingyun Spear tightly, and slashed forward. Stones flew up from the cleaved ground. With a swing of the spear, stones flew forward. When a stone reached Xie Wanzhou, he reached out and grabbed it. Many people standing around him had their throats pierced by the stone and fell to the ground instantly.
"Then what if I kill everyone in the world!"
The spear was pointed directly at Xie Wanzhou on the high platform, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Your Highness has killed someone!"
"Your Highness! How can Your Highness indiscriminately kill innocent people!"
"His Highness must be possessed by demons!"
"It was Wen Li who bewitched Your Highness, otherwise Your Highness would never have done this!"
"Kill this plague!"
The scene suddenly descended into chaos. At Xie Wanzhou's prompting, shadowy figures from the Xie family flew out from all sides. They didn't want to kill Shen Yingsi; they wanted to kill Wen Li!
She is the one who harmed His Highness.
People kept swarming in from all directions. Wen Li was protected in the middle, while Shen Yingsi gripped his spear tightly, each shot killing one of his own trained subordinates.
"Host, the protagonist's corruption level has increased again..."
Si Xiaxia hesitated for a long time before speaking softly, but she couldn't finish her sentence. However, she knew that Wen Li had heard her.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and soon corpses littered the ground. Wen Li's gaze swept over those who had tried to kill her, and over those she had once considered her allies.
Xie Xiao hesitated, Chao Yan looked worried, Wen Mingzhu hugged the Second Master and closed her eyes in fear, and Zhao Sicheng hid in the corner.
In the end, all she could see was Shen Yingsi, who was blocking her way...
“Si Xiaxia, he is Shen Xianzhi.”
He's not the main character, but Shen Xianzhi, who is loved and envied by everyone.
Shen Yingsi is someone who should live a carefree and unrestrained life.
“I’ve felt for a long, long time that it’s hard to be happy living in such a chaotic world. Not many people deserve happiness, and everything is forcing us to become bad. If there is anyone in this world who can be happy, it should be Shen Yingsi. He has saved so many people and done so many good deeds, so he should be rewarded for his good deeds.”
Si Xiaxia listened quietly without saying a word.
Wen Li looked up at Shen Yingsi, who was desperately trying to save her, and saw the scars he had sustained in Ghost Valley.
It must be very tough in Guigu Valley, and it must be very difficult to become a god...
Lowering her head, she swallowed the blood in her mouth. As tears fell, Wen Li put down the jade pendant and tried to activate the demonic bone within her body. In an instant, all the people surrounding them were sent flying.
She lay there covered in wounds, having injured so many people without even using a weapon.
Everyone felt a sense of apprehension; this power was too strong and too dangerous.
Shen Yingsi turned to look at her. Wen Li picked up the jade pendant again, forced a smile, and said, "Shen Xianzhi, didn't you say you'd take me away during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Let's run away now. Me, you, and Second Master, the three of us will hide and live a good life..."
After she finished speaking, tears fell again.
Shen Yingsi picked the person up and said, "Okay, I'll take you away now."
Shen Yingsi looked at Wen Mingzhu, who was holding the Second Master. Wen Mingzhu took a step back, and Xie Xiao took the Second Master away and put him down.
"Wang Wang Wang..."
Second Master, with all four feet off the ground, tumbled and ran down the steps towards them, the golden bells jingling cheerfully.
Shen Yingsi lifted the Second Master onto his shoulder and turned to leave.
Behind him roared Xie Wanzhou: "Stop them!"
A group of people blocked their way. Xie Wanzhou flew down the steps, shouting hoarsely, "Shen Yingsi! You can't leave with her! You are the emperor, and you will be a god in the future! She is a demon! You can't leave with her! Your uncle can't watch you ruin yourself!"
"We can let her go, but you can't leave!"
Shen Yingsi stopped walking, but he didn't turn around to look at Xie Wanzhou.
"Uncle, I'm not the same person I used to be."
Xie Wanzhou didn't understand his words, but suddenly a pair of huge and ferocious wings sprouted from behind him. Xie Wanzhou was so frightened that he involuntarily took two steps back.
Not just him, everyone's eyes widened.
what is that?
"She's a demon? But I'm already a monster that's neither human nor demon, so we should be together."
After saying that, he flew away, and this time no one dared to stop him.
Everyone stared at his back, wondering if their eyes were playing tricks on them. Was that... that a demon?
Xie San ran up to Xie Wanzhou and asked, "Sir, should we go after His Highness?"
Your Highness?
Xie Wanzhou suddenly slapped Xie San across the face, his voice louder than ever before: "That wasn't His Highness! We all made a mistake!"
Xie San immediately knelt down and bowed his head, saying, "Yes!"
Xie Wanzhou turned around and said loudly to everyone present: "Today we failed to find out where the demon bone went, and a demon disguised itself as the prince to deceive us, which is why that demoness managed to escape."
"His Highness the Crown Prince is currently in seclusion for cultivation. Everyone in the country knows his character over the years. If any rumors spread today that could damage his reputation, I, as the Regent, have the right to deal with those who spread such gossip."
As soon as Xie Wanzhou finished speaking, everyone landed on the ground and knelt down.
"Yes!"
Yes, who doesn't know what kind of person His Highness the Crown Prince is? He is a perfect, born emperor, a god who saves the people from suffering. He is definitely not the kind of foolish ruler who would abandon his country for a beautiful woman.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Xie Wanzhou felt relieved.
Si'er is still young and has suffered a lot since childhood. He might act impulsively sometimes, but he absolutely cannot watch him ruin himself like this.
But the way he looked just now...

After arranging the demon hunters, Xie Wanzhou left alone and went to a guest room in the backyard, where a person was sitting upright.
The man, dressed in black and wearing a mask, sat inside playing a zither. Two of the zither strings were broken, but he continued to play.
Judging from his seemingly superb piano skills, one might think it was heavenly music if you covered your ears, but in reality, the music was quite unbearable to listen to.
Xie Wanzhou asked, "Do you know any method that can turn a perfectly healthy person into a demon?"
The man didn't answer or look at him, but only asked, "Where is my daughter?"
Xie Wanzhou countered, "Which one are you talking about?"
The man rolled his eyes at him.
"So you still care..."
Xie Wanzhou sighed, "What a pity, he didn't die, but he even managed to kidnap my Si'er."
The hand that was plucking the strings paused for a moment, and the unpleasant music finally found a tune.
"Human turned into demon, the rabbit disease of yesteryear."
