“Don’t blame your sister too much,” Lou Wang said.
Lou Wang’s dark eyes revealed a sense of disappointment. “Liu Xia, do you even realize what you just did?”
“Is it worth risking everything, even your life, for a Tao Wu?”
I was somewhat dazed by Lou Wang’s outburst.
Transforming into human form, I said, “Master…”
Lou Wang fell silent for a moment. “Liu Xia, your connection to the celestial realm is very weak.”
“The Demonic Bone within you will only hinder your cultivation.”
“Today, I will help you remove the Demonic Bone.”
The pain of Exorcising Bone far exceeded that of Lingchi.
My bones shattered inch by inch, being reshaped.
I was in agony, nearly losing consciousness.
Yet, I still forced myself to lift my head, wanting to see Lou Wang’s expression.
Was it disgust, disdain, contempt, or heartbreak?
Unfortunately, his expression was too indifferent for me to decipher what he was thinking.
“Why?”
Lou Wang looked disappointed. “Liu Xia, a weak Xian Yao needs a sword for protection.”
“And your Demonic Bone is quite suitable.”
Indeed, she was someone with celestial potential.
I am merely a demon, born despicable and wretched.
Lou Wang's fingertips emitted a white light.
It pierced into my flesh and bone, inch by inch.
Curled up on the bed, I trembled in pain.
The charcoal fire burned in the room, yet I felt cold to the core.
I used to wonder why Lou Wang was willing to teach me the ways of cultivation.
I thought he believed in my true nature and did not mind my origins.
But now I realize I was wrong.
He never cared about me at all.
He had been deceiving me from the very beginning.
What he wanted was only my Demonic Bone.
And Wu You?
He once said he would stay by my side forever, but now I understand—he wanted to watch me turn to ashes!
Ha.
Utterly ridiculous.
After Lou Wang left, Xian Yao pushed the door open.
She held a sword in her hand.
It was a sword forged from my Demonic Bone.
Xian Yao smirked confidently, "Sister, don't worry. I will use your sword well."
"It was forged by you using Demonic Bone, so it must be unstoppable."
She approached step by step, stopping only at the edge of the bed.
The blade of the sword lifted my chin, forcing me to meet her gaze.
She smiled beautifully, yet her eyes were filled with malice.
"Sister, did you ever expect this day would come for you?"
"You calculated everything, but you never anticipated that I would unleash Tao Wu, did you?"
I stared at her in shock. "So, all of this was intentional on your part?"
She didn't hide her intentions. "Of course."
"Only then would Brother Lou Wang witness your loss of control."
"He would personally take away your Demonic Bone."
"And then I could obtain this divine weapon."
I trembled with rage, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "Why?"
Xian Yao raised her hand to wipe the blood from my lips. "Sister, we were once one, yet you excel in every way."
"Why is that?"
"I refuse to accept it."
"I will slay all the demons in the world and become an Immortal as soon as possible."
I was so furious that my chest heaved violently. "Xian Yao, you have some nerve!"
Xian Yao raised her hand and pinched my face. "What do I have to be afraid of?"
"You know what happens if I release Tao Wu?"
"Do you have any evidence?"
"So what if I do? Does Brother Lou Wang believe you?"
Each word pierced my heart.
Every sentence struck deep.
I found myself at a loss for words to counter her.
Everything felt terrifying.
The two people I trusted the most.
One wanted to see me vanish into thin air.
The other wanted to eradicate all demons.
Xian Yao lifted my chin. "Liu Xia, don't try to change your fate."
"Since you were born a demon, you must be prepared to be slaughtered by the gods."
The flash of crimson in her eyes sent a shiver down my spine.
