Chapter 659: Chapter 659: You Can’t Kill Me

"The energy of the Heavenly Dao is indeed abundant, not limited to what I alone possess. However, the world also requires energy to operate,"

Shang Minghao looked utterly dejected, "If I had that much energy, I would have resolved the matter myself. I certainly wouldn’t have let you two humans know the secret of how the Demonic Qi was introduced into the world."

Despite his sincere-sounding words, it was unclear how much truth they actually contained.

Considering safety, Quan Jinbei decided to stay and help Heavenly Dao purify the Demonic Qi.

If the spread of Demonic Qi continued unchecked, it would indeed be disastrous.

...

Following the information provided by Zhan Miao, Shi Yaoguang finally located Quan Sicheng after traversing several cities.

When she came across Quan Sicheng, he appeared quite normal.

He was engaging with two girls dressed as fans, his demeanor that of a modest gentleman.

Seeing her, he seemed somewhat surprised.

A look of astonishment crossed his face, "Why are you here?"

After speaking, he sighed, "Look at me, asking such an obvious question."

Then, he rephrased his inquiry.

"What a coincidence, running into you here, Miss Shi. Are you here for a coffee as well?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "No."

Quan Sicheng nodded, his tone subdued, "That’s truly unfortunate."

Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean by that?"

"If Miss Shi were here for coffee, we might have been able to enjoy a cup together."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang’s eyebrows quirked slightly as she sat down beside him, "I’m not here for coffee, but since you’ve mentioned it, it would seem rude not to have a cup with you."

The two young fans watching this unfold were somewhat bewildered.

What was going on?

Just running into their idol at the coffee shop today was thrilling enough, but why were they also witnessing the famed actress Shi Yaoguang?

What sort of divine fortune was this?

The two girls screamed internally in their excitement while maintaining a composed expression on their faces.

Don’t get too excited. Don’t get too excited.

They couldn’t afford to be overly excited.

If they left a bad impression on their idol, it would be terrible!

The thoughts of the two girls were of no concern to either Shi Yaoguang or Quan Sicheng at that moment.

Between them, a dangerous atmosphere was brewing.

After sitting for a while, they felt a prickle of unease.

And since it seemed that Shi Yaoguang had something she wanted to discuss, the girls wisely took their leave.

Once they were gone, Shi Yaoguang finally spoke up, "Are you possessed by a demon?"

Four simple words, revealing everything.

Quan Sicheng laughed lightly, "Do you have any evidence?"

His response implied that he didn’t deny being possessed by a demon.

He was merely seeking evidence.

If Shi Yaoguang couldn’t produce any evidence, then she couldn’t accuse him of any crime.

Shi Yaoguang smiled wryly, "Since I’ve managed to find you, of course, I have evidence."

With that, her eyes deepened in intensity, "You yourself are the greatest evidence."

Quan Sicheng shrugged, "Even so, there’s nothing you can do to me, right?"

Shi Yaoguang’s expression grew more serious, and Quan Sicheng was not wrong in his assertion.

Even if there were evidence to prove that Quan Sicheng was possessed, she had no authority to act against him.

After all...

The laws of this world did not constrain those from the Cultivation World.

Those possessed by demons, likewise.

"I indeed have no right to do anything to you because you are possessed, but I can kill you when you try to harm others,"

Shi Yaoguang’s expression did not change in the slightest, as if she wasn’t talking about killing Quan Sicheng that easily, but was merely making conversation.

Quan Sicheng was indifferent, "If you can kill me, that’s your ability. I have no right to blame you, but there’s one thing I hope you understand."

"Hmm?"

He pointed at his own heart, "You, can’t kill me."

As he spoke, his pupils were tinged with a layer of black.

After the dark fog obscured his eyes, they took on a more sinister and gloomy appearance.

Wild and enchanting.

"Do you know? The Demonic Qi I’ve absorbed is sanctioned by the Heavenly Dao,"

He said, laughing again, "I’m speaking nonsense here."

"If it weren’t for a reminder from the Heavenly Dao, you wouldn’t have found your way to me."

Indeed, that was the case.

If it weren’t for Shang Minghao taking the initiative to clarify, Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t have given Quan Sicheng a second thought.

Even though Quan Sicheng has always been the male protagonist of this world, she never took him seriously.

"The Heavenly Dao approached you, worried that I might be out of control, right? This issue is indeed troublesome to resolve, but... if it’s you, I wouldn’t mind letting you accrue some merit,"

As Quan Sicheng spoke, he pointed toward the door, "Shall we find a secluded place to talk? I don’t mind, but I’m worried that you might feel bad for disturbing these humans."

Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes at his incongruous words, "Humans?"

Usually, one does not refer to oneself as "human."

Quan Sicheng spread his hands, "I am now different from these ordinary humans. They are merely humans, and I am not. I hope you understand that."

Shi Yaoguang, looking into his eyes tainted by the dark fog, understood very well.

However, even if he truly wasn’t human, Shi Yaoguang still had to make an attempt.

She couldn’t just let him become a great demon, could she?

It seemed that Quan Sicheng saw through her thoughts as he sighed, "Are you trying to convince me?"

Shi Yaoguang did not respond.

Because she noticed that there were countless invisible black threads on Quan Sicheng’s body.

The black threads were wrapped around the people nearby, each person had one or more threads of varying thickness...

At first glance, Shi Yaoguang thought that Quan Sicheng was extracting something from them.

Soon, Shi Yaoguang confirmed it was not him extracting, but those people producing.

And these black threads were likely the energy produced by negative emotions.

In the terms of the Cultivation World, they were probably heart demons.

Seeing that she had seen through him, Quan Sicheng was not worried. Instead, he spoke with increased enthusiasm, "This energy is what allows me to grow stronger."

"Had I known that becoming possessed would attract your attention, I would have done so much earlier."

He said, uttering a sigh that seemed filled with regret, "But it’s not too late now. My possession is permitted by the Heavenly Dao, and as long as the Heavenly Dao exists, I can roam freely."

Originally, this world was made up of a male and a female protagonist.

But because of Shi Yaoguang, Shi Yiqing was wasted.

Afterwards, the System sought out Ling Qingxue, hoping that after she replaced Shi Yiqing, she could be with Quan Sicheng and incidentally deal with Shi Yaoguang.

Of course, that plan also failed in the end.

Failure does not signify the end.

After giving up on Ling Qingxue, the System no longer maintained her aura as the intended female lead.

That is to say, according to the original world built by the Heavenly Dao.

In this world, there was only one protagonist, Quan Sicheng.

It’s not to say that the other people in this world are inanimate; rather, it’s that the main energy of this world is centered around Quan Sicheng’s being.
