Chapter 191 Online Q&A with Intelligent Inner Demons
Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan leaning against the window and heard her teasing words. Finally, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"I've always felt that you've been too lenient with me!"
Xue Lan raised an eyebrow, wondering if the child had been damaged by the main system before. The girl spoke softly, her tone filled with helplessness: "Isn't it good? Do you want to go back into my sea of consciousness? Wouldn't it be better to just eat and drink outside like this?"
Xue Tong shook her head and said decisively, "No, I want to go back!"
Seeing the girl's determined expression, Xue Lan's smile froze slightly: "No."
"You still say you trust me?" Xue Tong was somewhat indignant.
"Whether I trust you or not, it's just not okay!"
Ever since Xue Lan's sea of consciousness underwent a change due to her inner demons, she has never allowed Xue Tong to enter it again.
It was no longer the idyllic paradise where Xue Tong could gather around a stove and brew tea, but a den of demons where one could easily be trapped and die if one was not careful.
If Xue Lan's previous sea of consciousness was an illusion deliberately created by Xue Lan to accommodate herself and Xue Tong, it represents the gentle side of Xue Lan in her past life.
Xue Lan's current sea of consciousness is filled with the tyranny within her heart; any foreign object that intrudes into it will be utterly annihilated.
Xue Tong wore a bitter face: "Couldn't you have made an excuse? Why are you being so heartless?"
Xue Lan thought to herself, "Then I'll try to coax you!"
A gentle smile played in the girl's dark eyes: "Because I'm not going to lie to you anymore!"
Xue Tong's eyes widened suddenly, her gaze filled with disbelief.
The little girl jumped right in front of her and reached out to poke her eye, but she dodged it.
"You didn't always use this method to coax Zhu He and the others, did you? You really know how!"
Xue Lan grabbed her wrist: "This is an illusion, not a fake eyeball. Poking it in will really blind you!"
Xue Tong chuckled and took hers back.
"Judging from your current appearance, you don't seem like someone who disregards other people's feelings or lives. Why were you like this in your past life..."
"Why did I end up in a high position in my past life, yet be abandoned by everyone?"
Xue Lan had no way to answer the question. The smile on the girl's lips vanished abruptly, like a fleeting shooting star streaking across the night sky.
Xue Tong realized that she might have said something wrong, but selfishly she didn't want to take it back or move on.
Xue Lan rubbed her temples in slight distress.
She has never been good at dealing with overly direct expressions of concern and inquiries.
Those blatant expressions of concern and questioning, however, easily leave Lord Wolf at a loss.
Because nobody dares.
Whether it's Yin Shishi's direct and somewhat fierce concern or Xue Tong's incessant questioning, no one would have dared to do that in their previous life.
After all, he was the high and mighty Wolf King. Below the Fifteenth Realm Demon King, all were mere ants. Even if he cared, he was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Then let's just not talk about it. If even the chieftain of the wolf clan can't solve this problem, what can ants do?
Xue Lan didn't want to discuss this topic with Xue Tong anymore. She decided to confide a little something to the young girl...
Anyway, we'll find out eventually.
Seeing Xue Lan's silence, Xue Tong thought it best to move on from this issue. But before she could even open her mouth to speak, the girl in front of her pushed her to the ground.
Xue Tong plopped down on the ground, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Xue Lan.
Then she heard Xue Lan's carefree voice: "Are you still wondering how she defeated the Mist-Dwelling King Beast, and what she was doing while you were unconscious?"
Xue Tong stood up and took two steps back. The Zhuohua Bow appeared out of thin air in her hand. She drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and looked at the person in front of her: "You are not Xue Lan!"
The inner demon looked at the wary little girl in front of her and felt a little resentful. She stepped forward and slapped Xue Tong on the head, making the little girl wince in pain.
"Then tell me, if I'm her inner demon, then who else could I be?"
Xue Tong's face turned deathly pale, and she frantically communicated with Xue Lan through their spiritual senses.
"I only asked Xue Lan two questions! And those two questions brought out your inner demons?"
"Xue Lan, I'm guilty! Xue Lan, please come back!"
Xue Lan now treats Xue Tong as a living person, but the inner demon is different. She still treats Xue Tong like a little pet and finds it quite amusing to hear the little girl's telepathic messages.
She can play all night.
"The reason she was able to fight the Mist-Dwelling King Beast head-on is because I was there! After you fell unconscious, she made a deal with me and released me."
Xue Tong watched as the girl, whose demeanor was completely different from before, plopped down on the bed. She waved her hand at her and said, "Hurry up and ask. I only have fifteen minutes!"
Hearing this, Xue Tong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xue Lan was not being controlled by her inner demons, but rather letting them out to play around.
Are the inner demons of those who aren't cultivators this intelligent?
Never mind, that's Xue Lan. It's normal for something unreasonable to happen to Xue Lan.
The inner demon, seeing Xue Tong deep in thought, slowly approached her with its divine sense, but was stopped by Xue Lan within her sea of consciousness.
"I just thought she was funny!" the inner demon said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
Xue Lan stood in front of the seal in her sea of consciousness: "Want one? Go catch one from the River of Time and play with it yourself."
The inner demon knew that Xue Lan was mocking her. In her current state, she couldn't even leave Xue Lan's body, let alone interfere with the River of Time.
"Go catch one to play with?" She thought it was fishing in a small river.
But despite his inner demons' complaints, he still had to put on a show: "I won't catch you, I'll play a game with you!"
Xue Tong now seemed like a rusty, stuck mechanism, wanting to speak but stopping, stopping but wanting to speak again, repeating "you" and "I" over and over for a quarter of an hour!
I didn't get a single question out!
Xue Lan banished her inner demons and returned to the public eye. The girl straightened her sleeves, her voice icy: "We've arranged someone who can talk, yet you're stammering and afraid to ask anything?"
Xue Tong knew that Xue Lan had returned, and her speech became fluent all of a sudden.
"I'm not quite used to it yet!"
She sees Xue Lan and her inner demon as having dual personalities, though they are essentially the same person. She simply enjoys talking to Xue Lan, even though the Wolf Lord is usually as gloomy as a mushroom growing in a damp corner.
Xue Tong probably didn't realize that the way she was swaying in front of Xue Lan made her look more like a yellow mushroom.
The little girl slowly raised her hand...
"Say!"
"Let's make a deal. Next time you open the door to release... the demon, could you please let me know in advance?"
Xue Lan nodded slowly: "Okay, go back to sleep, we have to catch the boat tomorrow morning!"
Xue Tong nodded obediently and transformed into a beam of white light, passing through the wall.
The inner demon roared in Xue Lan's mind: "She was just trying to say 'dog,' wasn't she?"
Xue Lan shrugged: "Who knows?"
The girl closed the window and then went back to bed.
As he lay on the pillow, the inner demon suddenly spoke: "Your indulgence of her ultimately stems from the fact that she, like you, is an existence that is intolerable to the entire Yuanming Realm."
"It's just that being rejected by one's own world sounds a bit worse than being rejected by other worlds!"
Xue Lan rolled over: "Then you'll suffer, shut up!"
