Chapter 164 Inner Demon
When Su Luo opened her eyes, she found herself trapped in a very familiar cave. She tried to move but found that she couldn't move. She looked down and saw the golden chain around her ankle.
Cave... Chains...
As Su Luo recalled the familiar scene, something suddenly occurred to her, her mind went blank, and her face turned as pale as paper.
She remembered! It was something that happened in her past life, something she had kept hidden deep in her memory and didn't want to recall!
Thinking of this, Su Luo couldn't help but close her eyes and clench her fists together.
It seems the terrible thing she's about to experience again is this... She's being imprisoned by that madman!
Back then, because of the original owner of this body, she was disliked by everyone in the Tianyi Sect, and she was busy chasing after the "female lead" for missions, so she didn't have many friends. Until she unintentionally saved a new female disciple named Zhou Zhiyi, who was very grateful to her and would often come over to bring her some delicious food and fun things. The two got along very well, which was one of the few happy times in her previous life.
But... good times are always fleeting, and this peaceful life was soon shattered by the sudden appearance of the fake female lead. At that time, the madman had just returned from his training trip, and he came looking for her as soon as he got back, and then he happened to witness everything.
Su Luo clearly remembered that although the aloof beauty wore a veil, her eyes coldly and critically scrutinized her friend. Then, she turned her head and asked with a complex look that Su Luo couldn't understand, "Who is she? What are you doing?"
Having been around that madman for so long, Su Luo could sense that he was very angry. So she stepped forward and shielded Zhou Zhiyi behind her, explaining that Zhou Zhiyi was a newly initiated disciple who had saved her before and was trying to chat with her out of gratitude.
Zhou Zhiyi quickly greeted him, but he didn't even glance at her. He continued to stare at Su Luo with his unfathomable eyes. Su Luo felt a chill run down her spine from his direct and eerie gaze.
Before she could think further, the madman suddenly chuckled and said something strange: "So the reason you were so perfunctory with me the other day, and stopped using the communication stone to contact me, was because of... her?"
Su Luo immediately sensed something was wrong upon hearing this, but before she could explain, the other person had already left without looking back.
After that day, she had a bad feeling, and became increasingly anxious, not even noticing that the female disciple's smiles were becoming less frequent when she came to see her. Until... the other party suffered meridian damage during a sect competition, and would probably never be able to lift a sword again in this lifetime.
Upon learning this, Su Luo immediately went to visit the girl. The girl was as warm and welcoming as ever, comforting her by saying it didn't matter that she couldn't wield a sword, since she didn't have much talent anyway. Although Zhou Zhiyi was smiling, Su Luo could still see the confusion and sadness in her eyes, and at that moment, Su Luo felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.
Su Luo hadn't thought much of it at first, but when she returned to her residence, she saw an unexpected guest.
Unbeknownst to her, the door to her cave had opened, and the madman was sitting there leisurely, drinking tea and waiting for her. In addition, she had brought Su Luo many interesting gadgets and delicacies.
Su Luo was completely baffled. She hadn't really paid any attention to him, but when she saw the things and food he had brought, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Because those things were all given to her by Zhou Zhiyi!
Su Luo didn't know how that madman found these things, but looking at the calm and beautiful woman in front of her, she suddenly thought of Zhou Zhiyi, whose tendons and veins were all broken. At that moment, she had a very bad feeling.
Could it be... that he's the one who caused Zhou Zhiyi to become like this? No, no way...
Seeing her pale face, the other person tilted their head and asked, "Why do you look so pale? Don't you like what I gave you?"
Su Luo felt her heart sinking lower and lower. She didn't want to believe that the female lead could do such a thing, and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Did you do this to her?
"Who?"
"Zhou Zhiyi."
He paused for a moment, and then Su Luo heard a clear and melodious laugh. However, what the other person said next made Su Luo's heart sink to the bottom.
"Hmm, it was definitely me. I didn't expect you to be so smart and guess it so quickly..."
At that moment, Su Luozhen felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and everything felt absurd and unreal.
That madman actually attacked Zhou Zhiyi, even injuring her meridians! Why?!
Su Luo frantically questioned the other party about why they did this, and then what did the other party say?
"Oh, right," he said.
“You are my toy, but now my toy is being naughty. It no longer looks at its owner, but instead follows others around happily. This makes me very angry! I can’t bear to punish you, so I’ll just have to let someone else suffer for you.”
"Look how much I love you, even after you betrayed me like this, I haven't been hurt in the slightest..."
Su Luo found it all absurd!
Looking at the "female lead" staring at her with great interest, seemingly oblivious to her own mistakes, she finally realized that something about this female lead had gone wrong.
The novel's female protagonist is supposed to be a person full of righteousness, but the one she knows is an extremely cruel and cold-blooded person! She treats people like toys, and even destroys them if someone takes away her toy?! This... this isn't the female protagonist she knows! She doesn't want to follow such a female protagonist!
Perhaps she shouldn't have agreed to the will of Heaven in the first place! This so-called female lead is a madwoman; letting such a madwoman save the world is simply ridiculous!
She couldn't take it anymore! She quit! She didn't care about the missions anymore! She might as well never return to the real world!
From that day on, Su Luo ignored him completely, remaining unmoved no matter how crazy he became. Even when Qing Ya Zi and his group reprimanded her and forced her to apologize to that madman, Su Luo treated their words as utter nonsense.
At the same time, she began to actively search for rare spiritual plants that could repair her meridians in various secret realms. However, Su Luo did not expect that the madman would be so insane that he knocked her unconscious and took her away while she was injured in the secret realm, and then imprisoned her!
Su Luo snapped out of her reverie and couldn't help but cover her face and sigh.
In her previous life, she didn't understand why the other person wouldn't let go of her; now she did...
Because that madman likes her!
He couldn't accept himself forming closer relationships with others, became insanely jealous, and did a series of suffocating things to her. This morbid emotion left her physically and mentally exhausted, wanting to escape, and ultimately, she was accidentally ambushed and killed by that bastard Lu Yan...
No wonder the illusion changed like this; it was her inner demon!
Just as Su Luo sighed, a sound came from outside the cave entrance, and then a beautiful woman in white with a cool and aloof demeanor slowly walked in and stared intently at Su Luo.
That look in his eyes was incredibly complex, seemingly filled with deep tenderness and affection, yet it held something more: darkness and gloom, a relentless curse of destruction, as if dragging her down to hell, a fight to the death between them…
