Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: Ding Dong, the Black-Hearted Medicine Jar Appears! 26

In her line of sight, at the center of it all, were corpses sprawled around that small stall.

Chaotically scattered, blood flowed down the entire street.

Amidst such a bloody scene, the surroundings were eerily silent.

The owner of the small stall survived.

He was cowering in a corner, holding a fan for comfort, his eyes filled with fear.

Plop.

Su Yan stepped on the ground.

The sound echoed as her foot landed in the blood.

Su Yan glanced around and easily spotted Feng Xuan sitting by the table.

He hadn’t left.

He was even sitting in the same spot as before.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."

Propping one hand on the table, his coughs broke the silence.

He sounded very weak.

Su Yan approached, Feng Xuan lifted his head, his pitch-black eyes seemed to carry a layer of moisture.

He spoke softly,

"Master."

With that, another bout of violent coughing ensued.

His body swayed, as if he could collapse to the ground at any moment.

Su Yan extended a hand to support him.

Feng Xuan adeptly wrapped his arm around Su Yan’s waist.

His coughing persisted, his voice tinged with grievance.

"Why did Master leave for so long?"

Su Yan patted his back, helping him to catch his breath.

As she did so, she pulled out a Zhu Xian Fruit for him to eat.

He obediently took it, biting into it mouthful by mouthful.

Perhaps due to the effect of the Zhu Xian Fruit, his pale and frail appearance slightly recovered.

Yet he rested his head on Su Yan’s shoulder, looking still quite weak.

He did not mention a word about the bodies littering the area.

No trace of blood stained him, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Su Yan turned her head,

"Was it you?"

Feng Xuan’s body stiffened, he raised his head.

He remained silent for a while.

Then he looked directly at Su Yan, and said,

"It was their fault."

Hence, his reason for killing them was entirely justified.

Su Yan asked again,

"Did you kill them?"

Feng Xuan lowered his head, starting to cough again.

As if the effect from the Zhu Xian Fruit had just started to wane, now it seemed ineffective once more.

He swayed, seemingly about to faint if Su Yan continued to press him.

Long silence ensued.

Su Yan waited for his answer.

Feng Xuan saw through this tactic.

He lifted his head,

"It was I who killed them."

Dark eyes, a sickly face.

He was still tightly holding onto Su Yan, and somehow, he felt a bit nervous.

It’s just a human, after all.

He had killed many people already.

If she dared make any choices or do anything displeasing, he could simply eat her.

But... he was reluctant to eat her.

It was rare to find a human so to his liking.

If he ate her, where would he find another like her?

Feng Xuan’s wrist flickered, in the sunlight, the shackle on his wrist seemed exceptionally clear.

Su Yan looked at him earnestly,

"What’s the reason?"

Feng Xuan noted her calm demeanor.

The tension in his heart eased a little.

He then carefully recalled the initial cause.

Why did he kill them?

Gradually, Feng Xuan remembered.

He spoke,

"They wanted to sleep with me."

Su Yan was taken aback.

"Huh?"

Well, she had considered many reasons, but not this one.

Feng Xuan’s body trembled slightly, and suddenly, he looked at Su Yan.

"Why did Master leave me here?"

"Because..."

Just as the words began, Feng Xuan interrupted,

"Is it because Master was tired of me, and deliberately left me here?"

Su Yan shook her head,

"Of course not."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."

Perhaps from speaking too hastily, Feng Xuan started coughing again.

His eyes reddened from the coughing, looking pitiful.
