Chapter 638 1 Self-deception
"But you still won't admit it until you see the coffin! You knew perfectly well that the new disciple you brought back to the sect would be in danger, but you still did it!"
You even brainwashed yourself, telling yourself that everything might just be your imagination! That everything might be a misunderstanding, and that nothing actually had anything to do with Wan Chi!
You knew perfectly well that Wan Chi's cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul stage! Yet you still brainwashed yourself into believing that you were already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and could guarantee their safety!
What makes you think you can do that?! Your meager cultivation level is nothing compared to Wan Chi's!
You are not overestimating your own strength at all; you simply don't value the lives of ordinary people!
You have been a prodigy in the sect since childhood. You are arrogant and treat human life as a joke!
You clearly knew! You clearly knew everything!
This was the first time Shijin had gotten angry since coming into this world.
What kind of female lead is this?! How dare someone who treats human life like dirt be a female lead?!
She had always thought that Yaochi Duoduo was the only normal female protagonist in all these worlds!
Now it seems that it wasn't Yaochi Duoduo who was mentally ill, it was clearly her who was mentally ill!
She actually thought Yaochi Duoduo was normal!
Shijin is so angry she wants to beat Maodan to death! He's telling me he can "conquer" the female lead? Conquer my ass!
What's the name of the female lead?
She personally took charge of recruiting disciples for Fairy Wanchi, even betting the lives and cultivation of hundreds of people!
What else could you call her if not aiding and abetting evil?!
Shijin got angrier and angrier, and in the end, she couldn't control herself and, in a fit of rage, raised her arm and slapped Yaochi Duoduo hard across the face!
The slap was crisp and loud, clearly delivered with real force, and the other party did not dodge at all.
After the slap, Shijin's hand froze in place.
She belatedly realized, "Oh no, I acted impulsively!"
That's the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!
However, a new kind of stunned silence soon replaced her old one.
Duoduo is a Nascent Soul cultivator, why didn't she dodge?
She...she even withdrew all the Qi from her body.
why?
Just so that I can take this slap from myself properly?
Yaochi Duoduo was knocked to the side by the blow.
On her delicate, fair, oval cheek was a clear red handprint.
She didn't blame Shijin immediately, nor did she even turn around to look at Shijin right away.
She kept her head tilted to the side, and soon she broke down in tears, trying to hold back her sobs.
Her shoulders slumped, looking so thin.
So fragile that it instantly extinguished half of Shijin's anger, and so fragile that Shijin longed to pull her into her arms.
Well, that's exactly what Shijin did.
Yaochi Duoduo hugged Shijin and cried for a long time, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances in her heart.
She kept apologizing.
She naively believed that she was different from everyone else in her master's heart.
She believed that even if the disappearances of those disciples were indeed related to their master.
But these disciples were brought back from the mortal realm by her own hands, and each disciple had a mark she had personally placed on them.
Therefore, she thought that her master would not target those disciples because she had been involved in the scheme.
But little did she know, it was all just wishful thinking on her part.
Fairy Wanchi did not consider her feelings at all.
Even when Fairy Wanchi saw the marks on those people and realized that her little disciple had already begun to suspect her.
Her first choice was to bring Yaochi Duoduo to the Angry Forest, intending to kill her immediately.
It was only at this moment that Yaochi Duoduo truly revealed her true feelings.
Actually, she lied to Shijin at the beginning.
When she entered the Nure Forest, no monsters attacked her; it was Fairy Wanchi who attacked her.
exactly.
It was as if Fairy Wanchi had unintentionally lured several high-level demonic beasts to her side.
She then cleverly provoked the high-level demonic beasts, putting her in a vulnerable position.
But Yaochi Duoduo knew that if Wanchi Fairy truly cared for her, she would never abandon her to hunt down the Angry Beast first.
She definitely has time to first eliminate those few demonic beasts, and then go hunt down the Angry Beast.
But she didn't. She didn't even look back when she turned and left.
Yaochi Duoduo just couldn't believe it.
She refused to believe that her master would have the intention to kill her.
She naively thought that her master must have weighed the pros and cons and believed that with her strength, she could easily deal with those high-level demonic beasts.
Or perhaps the situation was too urgent at the time, and the master had no time to attend to anything else, which is why he neglected her.
But, luck is luck.
Although Yaochi Duoduo looks young, she is not a truly naive girl.
She knew in her heart that her master was doing it on purpose.
Yaochi Duoduo cried even harder.
She felt wronged, resentful, and indignant, yet she still desperately tried to find an excuse for Fairy Wanchi to escape punishment.
She felt that the evidence was not yet conclusive and that everything was still in the balance.
Therefore, it is premature to pin all the blame on her master.
She even sometimes felt that even if everything was true, her master must have been forced into it and had a great deal of hardship.
She argued and cried until she was breathless.
After crying for a long time, she began to apologize again.
Apologize for your stupidity.
Apologize for your arrogance and conceit.
I apologize for my pathetic IQ.
She apologized to every disciple who went missing under her nose.
But in Shijin's opinion, all these apologies were meaningless, especially since Yaochi Duoduo shouldn't have been apologizing to her.
Shijin tried to calm down.
Because she knew all too well that her anger at this moment was just as pale and futile as Yaochi Duoduo's apology.
She put herself in Yaochi Duoduo's perspective.
A baby was raised by the Fairy of the Evening Pool from a young age.
Even the first word she uttered as a baby wasn't "Mother," but "Master."
Fairy Wanchi had always treated her very well, and she was her only disciple.
He always thinks of her first when it comes to delicious food, and he always gives her the first treasure.
He personally taught her to write and personally guided her in her spiritual practice.
He was always kind and loving towards her.
It can be said that Fairy Wanchi played not only the role of a master in Yaochi Duoduo's life, but also the role of a mother.
So, how can a daughter possibly believe that her kind and gentle mother is actually a ruthless executioner, a demon who devours people without spitting out their bones?
So it's no wonder that Yaochi Duoduo kept clinging to a sliver of hope, constantly trying to secure some valid evidence.
They continued to deceive themselves, unwilling to believe their own assumptions and the facts before them.
