Offering Salted Fish To Master

Sima Jiao sat there, like a snake that wanted to devour her—not a fake snake like the big black snake, but a terrible poisonous snake. He complimented her with a tone as if he would murder her in the next moment, “You are really brave.”

Liao Tingyan: “…” Huh?!

This ancestor seemed to have said that she was bold for the second time, but why did he say that? If she was really courageous, she wouldn’t have the urge to go to the toilet now.

Sima Jiao looked at Liao Tingyan’s expression, and his eyes were cold. He wanted to do something, so he asked her, “What are you doing here?”

Liao Tingyan hesitated for a moment, and finally chose the standard answer, saying, “The disciple is here to serve the master.”

Not surprisingly, Sima Jiao raised a finger at her brows and asked, “Answer me, what are you here for?”

Liao Tingyan said, “I came to rest, and relax my mind and body.” In short, vacation.

Liao Tingyan: Ah, ah, ah, what’s going on! How did my words change? It must be this ghost! The fantasy world had harmed me! There was no such a thing as truth magic!

Sima Jiao originally thought he would hear some conspiracy, but what he got was an irrelevant thing. He was taken aback, and showed a shocked expression. He asked again, but Liao Tingyan still answered the same.

Sima Jiao believed in his abilities. Under the power of his blood, no one could lie in front of him. It was at least absolutely impossible for the person in front of him to lie. So she was telling the truth.

However, it was this kind of truth that made him speechless.

Was she human? He had heard in the past that the people of the Demon Realm often mended their minds as they practised demonic cultivation. He thought that it was a rumor, but it was compiled and expelled by the righteous cultivators because of the conflict between righteousness and evil. Until now, he really believed it a little. She came to relax? She was here in the tiger’s den. Even the oldies in Gengchen Xianfu were afraid to come over. People from the demon’s realm wouldn’t come there to relax unless they were sick.

He was still suspicious, so he walked to Liao Tingyan, pinched her chin, looked at her eyes and asked, “You don’t want to kill me?” If she was a person from the Demon Realm, the mission she carried must be this.

Liao Tingyan’s face froze. She shook her head and spat out, “I don’t want to.” 

Why the puzzling question?

Sima Jiao became more confused, “Why don’t you want to kill me?”

Liao Tingyan thought that this ancestor might be mentally ill. Could what he said be considered human? Why did she not want to kill him? She was just an innocent salted fish. She had a low cultivation base. Why would he want her to kill him? Did he have delusions of persecution? Him being locked here wasn’t because of his practice but his delusion, which ruined his mind.

She said loudly in her head, but whispered from her mouth, answering Sima Jiao’s question, “Because there is no grievance, no enmity, no reason.”

Why didn’t she want to kill him? Because there was no grievance, no enmity, no reason.

Sima Jiao looked at her, his expression changed again. He seemed to think of some bad memories. His expression was faintly hideous as he said, “There is no need for resentment or cause for murder in this world.”

Liao Tingyan: “…” Why do you say so? I am a law-abiding citizen who has grown up in a society under the rule of law, and your worldview setting is unreasonable.

Sima Jiao’s murderous aura overflowed, “For example, now, for no reason, no grievances or grudges if I just want to kill you, what will you think?”

Liao Tingyan continued to be irresponsible, “I think you can, after all, I can’t beat you.”

After Liao Tingyan said this sentence, her face was full of depression. When would the truth effect go, and she could beg for mercy? If he heard this, the tortoise ancestor would slap her to death. She still wanted to try her best to survive.

Sima Jiao raised his hand, and then slowly put it back, “You want me to kill you, but I don’t want to.”

Ha…Was he in the second grade?

This ancestor, who was suspected of having a brain problem, jumped in her mind. He wanted to kill her, but didn’t kill her. Not only did he not kill, he even said to her, “You will come and serve me in the future.”

Liao Tingyan refused in her heart, but no one could refuse the ancestor. This old man was now her boss. In order to survive, she had always compromised. In her previous life, when her boss asked her to change a design plan ten times, she didn’t want to do it, but still did it. The ancestor asked her to come to work, she didn’t want to go, but she had to.

So she became the colleague of black snake somehow, and at the same time became the first person to successfully approach the Shizu.
