After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 474 A Battle Of Wits With The Evil Snake

She Shi Shi saw the look Zhang Chi gave her and couldn't help but feel a sense of joy, but also couldn't help but secretly mock him.

Truly, he is a hypocritical man, easily attracted by appearances, ultimately becoming a slave to carnal desires.

Such a person is destined to achieve nothing.

Seeing him working hard to chop wood, he must be under Ao Wu's command!

Such a man is best captured, just the breakthrough she needs.

With a plan in mind, She Shi Shi's gaze towards Zhang Chi suddenly became more charming. While seemingly talking to Ao Wu, her eyes always drifted towards Zhang Chi.

Long Yan happened to be paying close attention to She Shi Shi, and upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel anger.

Flirting right in front of me?

Long Yan was furious and couldn't help but lower her voice to transmit a message through a secret passage: "Are some people very happy?"

"What's there to be happy about? So many women are attracted to my appearance, who is she?"

"Hmph, you know your place."

Long Yan was satisfied with Zhang Chi's attitude, but quickly realized and asked, "How many other people are attracted to your appearance?"

"If you count it that way, there are too many. Look, Miao Yin is one, right? She fell in love with me at first sight, and later, my character moved her, so she has remained true to me."

And there's Jin Ling'er too, remember how she didn't like me at first? It was all fake. Since you have a good relationship with her, if she showed her true feelings, wouldn't you be on guard against her?

So, she deliberately acted like she was against me, but it was also love at first sight."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Long Yan initially found it reasonable, but the more she listened, the more something felt off. She still trusted Jin Ling'er more and didn't think she would be so fickle.

"There's one more, she was also attracted to me at first sight, but she's more shy and doesn't dare to pursue me, so she pretends to be my sister..."

"Looking for a fight!"

Long Yan fiercely twisted Zhang Chi's waist, and the two quietly played around, but everyone present had cultivation and how could they not notice?

She Shi Shi also began to observe Ao Wu's expression and found that she didn't care. She suddenly felt disdain for Ao Wu's control over her subordinates. How could they be in love?

Once they united, it could potentially have a negative impact on her rule.

"Minister, you've probably finished looking, right? If you have something to say, just say it, don't interfere with our shipbuilding."

Tang Ruoling saw She Shi Shi constantly looking at Zhang Chi, sending him flirtatious glances, but her words had no substance, clearly just wasting time. Who knows, maybe this person came for Zhang Chi.

Tang Ruoling, who was guarding the food, couldn't stand it anymore and directly drove her away.

This woman doesn't seem like a good person!

In She Shi Shi's eyes, Tang Ruoling's behavior was a sign that she didn't want to be observed too much.

Tang Ruoling, a small lackey, dared to say such things, there must be a hint from Ao Wu.

If they just wanted to build a ship, why hide it?

They definitely have a problem!

With a suspicious gaze, She Shi Shi indeed discovered more problems.

Are they really building a ship?

Where is the keel?

If they don't even have a keel prepared, what are they building a ship for?

Looking at the chopped wood, it doesn't seem like something that can be assembled onto a ship.

Everyone seems to be busy working, but they don't seem to be in a hurry.

This posture is more like using shipbuilding as an excuse to waste time!

Surprisingly, She Shi Shi's discerning eyes discovered the truth.

Zhang Chi didn't actually want to build a ship. Every day, chopping wood was just his way of practicing Destruction Sword Intent.

Other people have hinted that Zhang Chi is not very diligent in his work.

Shi Shi's reasoning process is completely correct, but unfortunately, the answer is wrong.

Facing Tang Ruoling's expulsion, Shi Shi remained calm and smiled, saying, "I do have some insights into shipbuilding. How about we have a deeper discussion, young man?"

The phrase "deeper discussion" coming from Shi Shi's mouth needs to be censored.

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "No need, I don't like to communicate with others."

Shi Shi: "?"

Wasn't he just very interested a moment ago?

Zhang Chi's response made Shi Shi's smile fade a bit. She turned cold and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you."

When she left, it felt like the air was freezing.

"Do you think she has ulterior motives?"

In Zhang Chi's mind, Gu Youyou asked in confusion.

"Yes, she has learned to anticipate."

Gu Youyou: "..."

I'm not stupid. If the other party didn't have a problem, would you ignore a beautiful woman?

Zhang Chi didn't care about the harm his words caused Gu Youyou and casually said, "Being overly attentive without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Her gaze towards me was very strange, with a strong sense of purpose."

Being a hunter all day, today Zhang Chi realized that he had become the prey.

According to his usual style, he would have taken the bait and turned the tables.

But after careful consideration, Zhang Chi felt that something was off.

He and Ao Wu had only recently arrived in the Southern Continent and had no connection with the monsters there. Why would Shi Shi come looking for them?

Perhaps something had happened!

Zhang Chi recalled that there was a person named Chi Hua from the Southern Continent on the ranking list in the Sea of Bitterness. He didn't know who Chi Hua was, but being able to enter the Secret Realm meant that their identity was not simple.

And this time, the Secret Realm was wiped out by Wenren Shu, so Chi Hua might not have survived either.

Perhaps Chi Hua was a descendant of a certain prominent family in the Southern Continent, and Shi Shi had likely analyzed their identity through some clues.

After thinking it over, Zhang Chi gave up on the risky operation of taking the bait without biting.

It's always better to play it safe and be cautious.

For example, running away now.

Confirming that Shi Shi had already left, Zhang Chi hurriedly said, "We may need to escape."

Ao Wu didn't understand and asked, "The ship is built so well, why do we need to run?"

Zhang Chi immediately began to deceive.

"Didn't you notice how anxious Shi Shi was when she left?"

"She must be going to report something, although I don't know the reason, it will definitely be unfavorable for us. Just to be safe, we can't stay here."

"Of course, Ao Wu, you can rest assured that we can take the chopped wood with us. Once we get through this crisis, we will definitely build a good ship."

Ao Wu: "..."

Just when things were settling down, they had to run. She wasn't happy at all.

"If you don't believe me, why don't we leave some means to observe this place? If that woman brings people here, it will prove my deduction."

"However, if we do that, we will lose the advantage. If we want to survive, we can only rely on you to lead us to hide in the sea."

"Then let's do that!"

Zhang Chi accurately predicted that Ao Wu didn't fully believe him but also didn't want too much trouble, so she would definitely agree to this suggestion.

In seven days, Zhang Chi deliberately deceived Ao Wu into going into the sea, using only half the expected time.

She Shishi did not disappoint Zhang Chi. As soon as she returned to the clan, she immediately went to see the elders and described in detail the problem with Aowu.

"Their behavior is particularly abnormal. They talk about shipbuilding, but they are not serious at all. Moreover, they have a great hostility towards me and try to drive me away. It seems like they are hiding some secrets.

With so many coincidences happening together, it is highly likely that they are after that thing.

Instead of waiting for them to make a move, it's better for us to take the initiative.

After all, she is just a princess of the Black Sovereign Palace. Once our plan succeeds, we don't need to care about the opinions of the Black Sovereign Palace."

"This makes sense!"

Everyone present were suspicious snakes, naturally cautious and sensitive. She Shishi's words struck a chord with them.

Instead of waiting for others to make a move and putting ourselves in a passive position, it's better to take the initiative.

After all, she is just from the Black Sovereign Palace.

"She Shishi's words make sense. Let's do it this way. Since they are suspicious, we don't need to find too much evidence. We can just deal with it directly."

Upon hearing this, She Shishi was overjoyed.

Snake demons hold grudges. She remembered the humiliation of being rejected by Zhang Chi in public when she flirtatiously invited him. While there were practical considerations in urging the elders to deal with Aowu, there was also a desire for revenge.

You offended this young lady, and you think you can run away?

She Shishi had already made up her mind. Once she subdued Aowu, she would play with Zhang Chi ruthlessly all day long!

What would be a fun way to do it?

Cutting his butt with a small knife or brushing his meatballs with a hedgehog?

Sss, just thinking about it gets her a little excited!

She Shishi wasted no time in gathering people and horses to go and deal with Aowu and his group. However, when they arrived, all that was left at the scene was a pile of debris.

"Damn it, they indeed have a problem. They sensed something was wrong and ran away immediately!"

She Shishi quickly realized this, and the powerful members of the clan who came with her were also furious.

"We must chase after them and kill them. We cannot let a single bit of information about that thing leak."

The snake demons began searching for the traces of Aowu and the others, but Zhang Chi was an expert in escape and always had anxiety about being captured. He was constantly thinking about how to run away.

Eliminating traces was an essential step.

And a small puppet left at the scene faithfully recorded everything.

"They are indeed planning something against us, but we haven't done anything!"

Aowu didn't understand, but at this moment, she was also convinced by Zhang Chi's foresight.

Although with her and Zhang Chi's strength, they were not afraid of being surrounded by the snake clan, no one wanted to put themselves at risk.

"They might be trying to seize your physical body. You have dragon blood in you, which is highly attractive to true dragon descendants. They must be after you."

Zhang Chi secretly pondered that the other party might be after him and guessed his identity.

But in order to make Aowu work well, it was necessary to transfer the sense of crisis onto her.

Aowu was indeed shocked, but she was most wary of Zhang Chi and his group.

"How do you know that I have dragon blood?"

She never showed her dragon aura from the beginning to avoid being coveted by others, but Zhang Chi still figured it out?

Could he have any bad intentions?

Dragon blood is attractive to dragon descendants and also has great benefits for humans. Would Zhang Chi want her blood?

Seeing Aowu's guarded expression, Zhang Chi also looked sad.

"You don't have to be afraid of me. If I wanted your dragon blood, I would have made a move on you a long time ago. I wouldn't mention it now.

As for why I know you have dragon blood, have you forgotten the relationship between me and your sister? Your sister has dragon blood, so naturally, you have it too."

What is it like to deceive someone in front of a person with the ability to detect lies?

Every sentence feels like it's on the verge of being exposed.

But coincidentally, Zhang Chi didn't lie in any of his sentences.

Ao Wu slowly let go of her guard, believing in her own gifted ability and believing that Zhang Chi wouldn't deceive her.

However, just to be safe, she still asked, "How did my sister expose that she has dragon blood?"

Ao Wu thought that her sister wasn't that foolish, not foolish enough to invite trouble for herself.

Even if she was the Monster Sovereign, having dragon blood might not necessarily be safe.

She asked casually, but it stumped Zhang Chi.

This question couldn't be answered!

Ao Long exposed her dragon blood after being imprisoned, and that's not something that can be said.

Even the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period couldn't cover it up. After pondering for a moment, Zhang Chi sighed deeply.

He didn't answer the reason why Ao Long exposed her dragon blood, but rather said with regret, "There's something I didn't tell you. Actually, your third brother is already dead."

"What!"

Ao Wu was shocked, and what was even more difficult for her to accept was that Zhang Chi didn't lie.

Her third brother, he really died.

"Why, how did he die?"

Zhang Chi shook his head.

He certainly wouldn't answer this question.

Originally, he wanted to use this topic to force Ao Wu to return home as soon as possible, and he could bring up this topic whenever he wanted.

Ao Wu was currently at ease because she didn't have many worries, but if she knew her brother had died, there seemed to be no reason not to say anything, how could she bear it?

By then, she would definitely want to return home quickly and find out what happened.

By then, she would know that waiting for a ship was not as good as going on her own, and she would naturally go to sea on her own.

This move was unsolvable because Zhang Chi had previously learned some information about Ao Wu from Ao Long's mouth, although not much.

One very useful piece of information was that the relationship between the three siblings was very good.

If it weren't for this prerequisite, Zhang Chi wouldn't have implemented such a plan.

Unexpectedly, plans couldn't keep up with changes, and the appearance of She Shi Shi gave Zhang Chi an opportunity to start deceiving directly, and She Shi Shi's cooperation was also very appropriate.

With both of these factors, what reason did Ao Wu have not to go to sea?

"Let's go! Let's go out to sea first. We'll remember today's grudge for now!"

Ao Wu disliked those who coveted her dragon blood, and She Shi Shi's actions had already angered her.

However, there was something more important now.

She wanted to go home and investigate the cause of her third brother's death.

If Zhang Chi didn't say it, she could find out on her own.

She would definitely avenge her third brother!

Ao Wu was filled with anger by Zhang Chi's manipulation, and under her lead, the group quickly arrived at the seaside. Ao Wu jumped into the sea with a splash, and Zhang Chi and the others quickly took their positions.

But at this moment, She Shi Shi arrived at the coastline with a group of snake clan members.

She Shi Shi also guessed that Zhang Chi and the others wanted to leave, most likely by sea.

A Sea Monster building a ship was indeed a cover. Sensing that they had been exposed, they chose to escape by jumping into the sea so quickly.

But did they really think that jumping into the sea would solve everything?
