Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please-Chapter 306.4 - From Now Onwards, You Are Him

Chapter 306.4: From Now Onwards, You Are Him

The man’s head of inky black hair turned snowy white, the blood red irises from before slowly assuming a faint violet shade, but not the slightest sliver of spiritedness could be detected from his body anymore.

He looked at the woman’s highly dazed look and smiled slightly. “Do not overthink it too much. I am not that big hearted or gracious, but it is merely because he can still be saved while I….. do not have any way of reversing this situation anymore.

“I was born into the demon race, but you probably did not know that my mother was actually once from the gods race, but because she came to fall in love with a person from the demon race and was sentenced to the most cruel punishment. She was hated and scorned by each and everyone. Not a single person was willing to plead for her, all of them just could not wait to have her killed to be rid of her. In the end, I was not even able to save the tiniest bit of her primordial spirit essence.”

“That is why I hate every single person from the gods race so much, as the blood that flows in their bodies are even more cold blooded and venomous than any one of us in the demon race. They are the most hypocritical race throughout the entire world and I made a pledge to myself that as long as I remain alive, the demon race and the gods race shall forever be at odds. I seek to kill every single person from the gods race down to their very last man, to make them suffer the very same intolerable and deadly pain.”

Speaking up to that point, his voice paused for a moment. Seemingly a little contemptuous, his gaze then slowly turned towards her. “But why must you turn out to be the lone exception? Within all that filth and scourge that the gods race is, you were so clean and pristine, like a flower that has yet to weather through any storms, the unspoiled purity still preserved in your heart.”

“I’ve said before that we can never be together. That is not because I hate you, but inversely, it is because I love you.”

The woman’s irises contracted greatly, unable to believe that she would actually hear such words coming out from the man’s mouth.

He had said….. that he loves her. Is she dreaming?

“You’re so pristine and untainted, whereas I am…..”

“Unworthy.”

He said he was unworthy.

Unworthy to have someone as good as her, and unworthy to have her fall so low, to lose all her dignity in loving him.

The person who should already be dead came back to life. At that point, it seemed he was still an outsider, a mere passerby in their lives.

Even the fact that his life had been extended was because it was stolen from someone else.

That man disappeared after that. It was not known how much he said to the woman before his body began to turn more and more fuzzy into a blur, to finally become a hazy image of a lotus bloom. The image appeared only for a highly brief instant, and dispersed into the wind in a fine powder, disappearing without leaving a single trace behind.

So it turned out that he was not truly a demon. Half of the blood in his body was actually of the gods race’s and his mother was actually a lotus bloom that grew in the pond within the gods race territories, who assumed human form after a thousand years’ cultivation.

But her life had been so short and fleeting.

And now, it was the same with her son, disappearing completely from the world.

But he had not forgotten the silent words the man had said to him before he dissipated into the wind.

Protect her well.

Sigh. He had known it for a very long time, that it wasn’t that the man did not love her, but he had actually loved her so oppressively, much too deeply, and he only dared to say it out aloud at the moment just before his death.

And how was it any different for him? He had only been lying to himself all along.

He looked at the woman who stood there frozen in place, not moving an inch. From the moment that the man disappeared, something in her had seemed different. He walked over to her, and patted her gently on the shoulder.

What came to meet his eyes, were a pair of eyes that were icy cold, without the slightest bit of emotion in them.

When she turned to look at him, her expression looked dazed and completely blank for a moment. In the woman’s pair of crystalline clear silver eyes, he could see himself reflected in them.

With very familiar looking violet eyes.

“Lian Shi…..” The woman’s voice called out softly.

“What?” He was stunned with surprise.

“From today onwards, you are Lian Shi.”
