Chapter 439: All Things Are Straw Dogs (21)
"It's good that you know how much of a jerk you are. So since you owe me so much, you need to keep my identity a secret and work with me to find a way to leave here."
Jiang Huaizhen didn't disagree, but, "You look like this, even if I keep it a secret for you, you can't hide it, right? But it's so strange, you don't look like the demons I know, what's wrong with your horn? Is it because the demon blood is too little and underdeveloped? And what do you mean by finding a way to leave here? It's not what I thought, right?"
Si Cen had a stern face.
He doesn't like his own horns either.
Compared to the majestic horn of the big devil, what is this?
However, he had recently learned some skills in hiding his demonic characteristics, but this cave seemed to be restricted, which not only restricted him from leaving, but also suppressed the circulation of his spiritual energy, making it difficult for him to do so.
He believed that as long as he went out, he could easily hide his demonic characteristics, and he would not be seen through unless he met a cultivator whose realm was much higher than his.
Although, "Who the hell are you saying is stunted?"
The little bit of pity he had just felt disappeared into thin air. Si Cen could no longer tolerate this idiot and grabbed Jiang Huaizhen's ear with such force that Jiang Huaizhen cried out in pain.
"I, I, I am underdeveloped, I'm sorry, I was wrong, ah ah ah ah, be gentle, Si Cen! A Cen, good A Cen, I know I was wrong, wuwuwu, my ears are going to fall off!"
Jiang Huaizhen screamed and begged for mercy, which completely attracted the attention of the people who were already paying attention to them and made it impossible for them to pretend to ignore him.
For some reason, one of the brothers said something sour, "Is this flirting? Jiang Huai is really flexible. He doesn't hesitate to sell his body to please the monsters in the secret realm for the sake of benefits!"
Not only was the tone sour, but there was actually a hint of envy in it.
Putting aside Si Cen's identity as a monster, he is really handsome.
Especially now, the way he twisted Jiang Huaizhen's ear with a look of anger and resentment, compared to the ethereal and otherworldly look just now, was more lively and vivid, which was simply enough to make people stunned.
The spirits and monsters in the secret realm have many properties similar to those of spiritual beasts, but they are more human-like than spiritual beasts.
What kind of sect is the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts? It is a sect that tames beasts.
Maybe Jiang Huai can really subdue this monster, sign some kind of master-servant contract, and take him out of the secret realm?
Not to mention that since this monster can appear in such a central place as the secret realm, it seems that its strength is unfathomable.
Just based on his appearance, he is pleasing to the eye, and it would be so face-saving to take him out!
and!
In fact, the world of cultivation is very accepting of many things. When a cultivator looks for a Taoist partner, gender is not a concern as long as the cultivator is willing or as long as it is beneficial to the cultivation.
Some people are even more niche and outrageous. They fall in love with their own pets, but they are mostly ridiculed, and no one will criticize them.
Judging from Si Cen's appearance, Jiang Huai really wanted to get along with him and do something with him in private without anyone knowing. If anyone knew, they could only envy his good fortune.
So this is where the monk was jealous.
However, he at least knew that there was a senior brother who was the most old-fashioned and etiquette-abiding not far away. He was not sure about Si Cen's strength, so he did not dare to say this loudly. He even put up a barrier that could isolate a certain distance and sound, and then muttered this sentence in a low voice.
His fellow disciples beside him could definitely hear it.
They also showed strange looks on their faces, some disagreed, some despised, and some thought similarly to this person, but none of them were so thick-skinned as to say anything.
Are you kidding? They are now on someone else's territory.
And Xu Chuan wouldn't think that his barrier from the initial stage of foundation building could block the eyes and ears of the senior brother, right?
Instead of whispering to him as Xu Chuan thought, they quietly moved a few steps to the side.
"Lin Feng" opened his eyes and glanced at Xu Chuan lightly.
Xu Chuan felt a chill on his back and realized that his senior brother had heard it. He was so scared that he immediately kept silent and lowered his head like a quail.
"Lin Feng" shifted his gaze and looked at the two people who were fighting over there (Si Cen was beating Jiang Huaizhen and he was begging for mercy), his eyes fluctuated slightly.
Before hearing what Xu Chuan said, he still looked at Si Cen as if he were a child he had raised (even for a month).
But after Xu Chuan said that, when he looked over again, for some reason, he felt a little strange and even a little unhappy.
Xu Chuan only said that one sentence, but "Lin Feng" knew exactly what he was thinking.
When he thought that there might be more people present who looked at Si Cen with speculative prejudice in their hearts, Lin Feng felt even more unhappy than when he saw Si Cen and Jiang Huaizhen's familiar and boundless play.
At this time, Bai Xiaoxiao also noticed that the senior brother looked over there for too long, and his eyes were a little cold.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Firstly, she was afraid that the senior brother would be angry. Secondly, although she didn't want to admit it, Bai Xiaoxiao had to admit that Si Cen was so beautiful. She didn't want the senior brother to focus his attention on Si Cen, as it would make her feel very threatened.
So she spoke quickly so that the senior brother could turn his attention to herself.
"Junior Brother Jiang, it sounds like you and this person... do you know each other?"
Bai Xiaoxiao's words reminded everyone that the reason everyone noticed their movements in the first place was because Jiang Huaizhen yelled, "It's you."
Doesn't it sound like we knew each other before?
But that’s not right. This is Jiang Huai’s first time entering this secret realm. How could he meet Si Cen?
Bai Xiaoxiao's words gave Jiang Huaizhen an opportunity to speak, and he quickly said, "We knew each other when we were young, but I hadn't seen him for many years so I didn't recognize him at first. His name is Si Cen, and he's my good friend. He's not a monster in the secret realm, he's..."
Facing the puzzled and even suspicious gazes of the crowd, Si Cen calmly responded the moment Jiang Huaizhen got stuck, "I am a cultivator like you, but I am just a casual cultivator without a sect or school."
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Si Cen's corners and red eyes, and almost wrote the word "disbelief" on her forehead.
Si Cen's expression was natural. "I was trapped in this cave by mistake. I accidentally ate a kind of magical herb here and became like this."
Bai Xiaoxiao and everyone else's faces changed, and they looked at the spiritual rice that was cooking in their pots with some doubt.
Si Cen explained at the right time, "It's not those. There is nothing wrong with those. They are normal spiritual rice and vegetables. The one I ate looked very similar to a spiritual herb that can increase spiritual power. I didn't recognize it and ate it by mistake."
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Si Cen swore so solemnly that Jiang Huaizhen believed it immediately. "Why don't you be more careful? Apart from these, are you okay? Are you not seriously poisoned?"
Si Cen: ...
Si Cen could tell at a glance that Jiang Huai was not acting with him to gain the trust of Bai Xiaoxiao and others, but was really worried about him.
No way, you believed it?
You clearly know that I have half demon blood in me?!
Jiang Huaizhen, what kind of brain circuit is this? Si Cen really didn't understand at this moment.
He smiled and said, "There are no other sequelae. Besides, these strange things on my body looked much scarier at first than they are now. I think the toxicity in my body is also subsiding as time goes by. I think I will be able to recover after leaving the secret realm."
You can really fool people with anything you say.
"Lin Feng" looked at Si Cen's sincere eyes and natural smile, and a slight smile could not help but appear in his eyes.
