My Demon Queen

Chapter 172 Tell the truth

Mo Qingcheng slowly turned around, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, staring coldly at Ye An, and said in a low voice: "Do you think I'm cruel?"

Ye An was locked in her gaze, his body trembled involuntarily, and he quickly took a step back.

He tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart, forced a smile, and replied: "How is it possible? Absolutely impossible."

But Ye An was complaining in his heart: How dare I? I wouldn't dare even if I had ten courages. Auntie, I'm already honest, please let me go.

Mo Qingcheng raised a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, turned around and continued walking.

Ye An looked at the people who were fleeing in panic, and his gaze fixed on the aunt again. His eyes were full of helplessness and guilt. He frowned and muttered to himself.

"Ah! It's all my fault."

And this subtle whisper still reached Mo Qingcheng's ears.

She turned around suddenly, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, and asked, "Are you pitying them?"

Ye An was startled by her sudden question, and quickly shook his head and waved his hands, denying it with a look of panic: "No, absolutely not."

Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An who was eager to deny it, her face was cold and she spoke slowly.

"Pity is an emotion of the weak, and it will only become a burden to you. That woman's words are full of threats and intimidation, will you be willing to submit?"

Ye An was silent for a long time, then slowly shook his head, looking lonely.

"Since you don't want to, why do you need to blame yourself?"

Mo Qingcheng crossed her arms, looked at Ye An with burning eyes and asked.

Ye An sighed and said helplessly: "After all, we took other people's things, so we are a little bit in the wrong."

Mo Qingcheng snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "You promised to give me rewards, and you have fulfilled your promise, but what is the result?"

Ye An recalled the aunt's attitude, sighed again, his eyes dimmed, and said no more.

Although Ye An's mind is no longer what it used to be, he still has a clear understanding of basic principles.

He promised to give money to the aunt and punish Prince Wang. However, the aunt pushed further and even asked him to compromise, which Ye An would never agree to.

Mo Qingcheng saw that Ye An seemed to have figured it out, and her expression eased a little.

She looked at the fleeing crowd, her face as calm as water, and said calmly: "Human greed will lead to bad consequences. You should be thankful that she is still alive."

Ye An felt even more frightened as he listened to Mo Qingcheng's cold and ruthless words.

He swallowed, mustered up his courage, and cautiously asked, "Actually... it doesn't have to be solved by killing people, right?"

When Mo Qingcheng heard Ye An's words, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint light flashed in her autumn-water eyes. After a moment, she opened her red lips and said slowly and coldly:

"Then in your opinion, in this chaotic and complicated world, what is the most appropriate way to deal with such a situation?"

Ye An stood there, his eyes slightly closed, brows furrowed, his brain working rapidly, and he was lost in deep thought.

Mo Qingcheng crossed her arms across her chest, her posture as straight as a pine tree, her sleeves fluttering gently in the breeze, and her expression calm and composed, like a fairy who was out of this world, quietly waiting for Ye An's answer.

At this moment, the two of them were like two silent statues isolated from the world, emitting a calm and powerful aura.

Around them, the crowd was like frightened birds, panicking, crying and shouting, fleeing in all directions, forming a very sharp contrast.

After a long while, Ye An slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath and said:

"Just like I did just now, I decisively taught them a lesson, let them feel the pain physically, and let them feel scared."

After listening to this, Mo Qingcheng's beautiful face showed a cold sneer with a hint of disdain and coldness, as if she was mocking the naivety of Ye An's ideas.

Her beautiful eyes, as bright as stars, looked directly at Ye An like sharp blades, and she said slowly:

"Then do you know who those people in the distance are and why they ended up like that? You might as well think carefully about the cause and effect relationship."

Ye An had a bewildered look on his face. He had no idea what was happening to those people in the distance. His heart seemed to be shrouded in a fog.

Hearing that Mo Qingcheng was willing to help him clear up his doubts, he subconsciously shook his head slightly, with a look of exploration and expectation in his eyes.

Mo Qingcheng cast his gaze towards the people in the distance who had been charred black by his lightning and whose faces could no longer be discerned. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at lifeless objects. He said coldly:

"Those people are the reinforcements brought by the evil-minded man you taught a lesson before.

You think that by giving the other party a proper lesson, they will come to their senses and turn over a new leaf.

However, do you think that just by your bland teachings, they will be truly afraid and deterred in their hearts? Will they change their ways, behave themselves, and stop causing trouble? "

When Ye An heard this, he was first struck by lightning and his whole body shook. Then his thoughts surged like the tide and he woke up as if from a dream.

In an instant, his face turned red, full of shame.

Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An and saw that he had already understood something. A hint of satisfaction flashed across her eyes, but her face still had that cold expression.

She raised her eyes slightly and continued:

"You are tolerant and show mercy to others, giving them a chance to reform.

But the other party has no gratitude or remorse at all, and only wants revenge and will not give up until he achieves his goal.

In such a dangerous situation, who do you think will end up in an irretrievable predicament and suffer irreparable losses?

Is it your so-called tolerance and generosity that can protect you, or is it your childish ideas that can resist the enemy's malice?"

Ye An lowered his head in shame, shook it gently, and then fell silent without saying a word.

Ye Quan witnessed this scene in his consciousness space and couldn't help but give Mo Qingcheng a thumbs up, and said:

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are worthy of me, Mo Qingcheng, teach this silly boy a lesson."

Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An's guilty expression, and his expression gradually eased. He said slowly:

"Don't think too much, just do what's on your mind, I'll take care of all the consequences."

Ye An looked up at Mo Qingcheng with astonishment. At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything around him, and the only thing in his eyes was Mo Qingcheng's beautiful face.

Ye Quan also froze in his place in his consciousness for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up.

Mo Qingcheng herself was in a daze, not understanding why she said such words.

Although Ye An's face was full of disbelief, somehow a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Mo Qingcheng suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Ye An, and he returned to his usual indifferent expression. After a cold snort, he raised his foot and prepared to leave.

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng's back, and the guilt in his heart unconsciously dissipated a lot.

However, he still subconsciously looked back, then shook his head slightly, and quickly followed Mo Qingcheng's footsteps.
