Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 139: Inner Demon (This chapter will contain some unpleasant emotions)

"Brother Liu, I love you so much, please stay!"

"How can I be as happy as an immortal and indulge in the joy of being with me..."

"You look good, Liu Jiqian, right? Why don't you practice dual cultivation with me?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Liu..."

"Don't leave, Brother Liu, you are mine."

"Although this shouldn't happen, I am pleased with you..."

"Hahahaha, you were such a high and mighty person, why are you like this now?"

"You are mine alone, no one can stop me, not even you..."

"I have coveted you for a long time, Master. You are such a good person. From the day you saved me, you were destined to fall into my arms..."

"Because of the inner demon? Perhaps it should be so..."

Liu Jiqian regained consciousness and found himself in a pitch-black environment. There were blurry figures standing densely together and his faces could not be seen clearly.

He walked in an unknown direction, weaving in and out of the crowd, feeling his body was heavy, his ears ringing with those people's explicit or obscure words - the voices came from those people in the "future".

They said they respected and admired him, but their eyes were sticky and greedy, which was disgusting. They kept saying "love" but tried to drag him down.

They know this isn't right, but they still do it. Aren't they just trying to cover up their own hypocrisy?

What is "love"? It is a dirty lie, but they cover it up with beautiful things.

He wanted to struggle, but like a butterfly caught in a spider web, all his struggles were in vain. The almost invisible fine silk web was binding him tighter and tighter. Those people were like predators, staring at him hungrily, just waiting to get a piece of the pie.

It's really strange, they want to force him to death, but also want him to live - their hearts are wrapped in the name of "love", but in fact they are rotten inside.

They wanted him to sink and bow his head, but after trying every means to drag him into the quagmire, they changed their tone and said that he was lowly and nothing more than that.

When he was forced, some people were indignant and seemed to be criticizing him, but in their hearts they wanted to go along with him and have a taste of what it was like to be the "number one".

Although he seemed calm and composed on weekdays, in fact, the shadow of the "future" always lingered deep in his heart and could not be shaken off.

Whenever this memory came to mind, Liu Jiqian actually wanted to escape, because it gave him the illusion that he was stuck in a quagmire, trapped in an abyss, being trampled on, ravaged, and without any character left.

It's really ridiculous...

"You know, none of them are good people." A cloud of mist gathered and turned into a person who looked exactly like Liu Jiqian and appeared in front of him, smiling, but with an indescribable sense of horror.

Liu Jiqian raised his head with great effort and looked at "him". The figures around him were looking at "himself" without saying a word.

"Liu Jiqian" said in a gentle tone: "You won't just let things take their course just because the present is different from your 'memories', right? I am your demon, and I know best what you are thinking. You actually hate these people, right? Otherwise, I would not have been born..."

Liu Jiqian: "What do you want to say?"

"You've learned your lesson, so why don't you take action? - Don't bet on God's will, don't guess people's hearts. You can't bet on God's will, and you can't guess people's hearts... Kill them all, even Ji Yanli who hasn't developed a demon in his heart, or that cowardly Jin Jianxian... That way no one can hurt you anymore."

"It's different. Without them, there will still be Wang Yanli and Wu Jianxian. This won't solve the problem. It's only a temporary solution. Ji Yanli and Jin Jianxian are no longer the same people they were before. It's not fair to them to deal with them this way."

"You are such a kind-hearted person..." "Liu Jiqian" was stunned for a moment, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense.

"It's not a cure, why don't you kill him first? You think it's unfair to others, but have you ever thought about whether it's unfair to yourself? It's because of your bad intentions that it's like this, isn't it? People should always be more selfish and think about themselves..."

"Liu Jiqian" acts as if he is doing this for your own good and will not harm himself, and his words are also appealing and logical - but the inner demon is the inner demon, and once there is a crack in your heart, it will do everything it can to replace you and take the lead.

In the world of cultivation, you can’t even trust yourself.

Liu Jiqian shook his head.

"When you do good deeds, you don't have to expect the other party to repay you. No matter what they do, I just want to have a clear conscience - their behavior is not my problem. If it's not me, there will be others who will suffer from it."

He also has selfish motives, and what he does is not all for others. Doesn't his behavior also give himself spiritual satisfaction?

"But not only did you not get any reward for doing good things, but you were bitten instead. Do you really have no grudges?"

"Liu Jiqian" knows Liu Jiqian best. Every word he says is full of gems. He wants to dissect him and expose the evil of human nature.

"I am not a saint, and even if I were a saint, I wouldn't dare to say that my heart is boundless."

"That's what I mind."

"But when I helped them, I never thought about what I wanted from them. These were their own choices."

"Liu Jiqian" laughed angrily: "I really can't understand you, are you not going to retaliate against them?"

If the person swearing wasn't Liu Jiqian, "Liu Jiqian" might have really started swearing.

Liu Jiqian lowered his eyes - of course not, how can you repay kindness with kindness? He is not a weak person, and his kindness is not a reason for these people to be presumptuous... He will settle the account clearly!

"Liu Jiqian" felt that he had acquiesced, and was so angry that his teeth itched, thinking that he had wasted his words, but "himself" refused to listen! It was like a punch on cotton.

As he became impatient, the figures around him began to move slowly. "Liu Jiqian" slowed down and returned to his smiling look at the beginning.

"I hope you'll stick with that."

Liu Jiqian suddenly felt a vibration under his feet, and suddenly a pair of black hands like jelly stretched out from the ground and wrapped around him. The ground he was stepping on became soft, like a swamp. Those hands wanted to pull him into the ground, and his body sank into it little by little as they were pulled.

"Liu Jiqian, stop being so stubborn. Admit it. You are not a good person. A weak person cannot go far in cultivation."

"Liu Jiqian" walked slowly to Liu Jiqian, leaned over slightly to look at the man whose half body was already submerged in the ground. His eyes were also as clear as amber, but those of the inner demon Liu Jiqian seemed a bit weird.

He was exactly the same as Liu Jiqian, but that same clear voice was filled with a strong hint of bewitchment.

(I’m speechless. I’m stuck when I post a picture, right?! Can the tomatoes be more rotten? I’ll post a comment.)
