The six demon kings left the City Lord's Mansion, but they did not leave the Nightless City. Instead, they found a place to stay temporarily in the city.
Linyuan knew Yang Rongrong's plan. With Pixiu's help, she didn't have to worry about earning five million magic crystals.
But he still felt unhappy.
"You shouldn't agree to their conditions."
Yang Rongrong knew that the condition he mentioned was to leave the Demon Realm, so she said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, it's just leaving the Demon Realm, and there's nothing to lose to me. Besides, I won't necessarily lose, so it doesn't matter if I agree to them."
Linyuan stared at her: "Have you never thought about it for me? What will I do if you leave the demon world?"
Yang Rongrong responded casually: "Just do whatever you have to do."
Linyuan twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself: "Do you really not care about me at all?"
He had a smile on his face, as if he was joking, but Yang Rongrong could feel it. He was very serious when he asked this question. If she answered that she didn't care, he would definitely be sad.
But she still chose to answer truthfully: "I really don't care."
The smile on Linyuan's face faded, and his eyes were lonely and hurt.
He whispered softly: "Can't you comfort me?"
Yang Rongrong sighed: "Why deceive yourself? If you don't like it, you just don't like it."
In fact, she had made it very obvious, and he could definitely feel her attitude, but he refused to accept it, as if as long as he didn't accept it, she still liked him.
Linyuan suddenly felt unspeakable grievance in his heart.
He lowered his eyes and complained in a low voice: "But you said before that you liked me very much. You risked going into the endless abyss to save me. You also devoted all your cultivation to me. You also promised that you would always be by my side. You can’t keep your word.”
In order to complete the task in the past, Yang Rongrong packaged herself as a love brain who would risk everything for love.
But in fact, she didn't like herself like that.
Yang Rongrong couldn't talk about the mission, but she didn't want to compromise like before.
She said directly: "I saved you from the endless abyss, but I had an ulterior motive. I was also lying to you when I said I liked you, Linyuan, I have never liked you from the beginning to the end."
Linyuan looked at her blankly.
After a long time, he spoke in a very soft voice: "Then who do you really like? Is it Shen Wenquan?"
Yang Rongrong didn't answer and asked instead: "Why do I have to like others? Can't I just like myself?"
This sounds very selfish, but that's exactly what she thinks.
Whether it was Linyuan Shen Wenqian or Hengye Shuying, she always approached them with a purpose. No matter how good she was to them, in the end it was all for herself.
She has always loved herself.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Rongrong doesn't care who Shen Wenqu likes, she doesn't care if Linyuan is cold and heartless, she doesn't care if Hengye repays kindness with enmity, and she doesn't care if Shuying is taking advantage of her from beginning to end. she.
As long as she can complete the task.
What they think in their hearts has nothing to do with her.
Linyuan was stunned again.
He seemed not to have expected Yang Rongrong to give such an answer.
Yang Rongrong felt that since she had spoken so frankly, Linyuan must have completely understood her true face.
When she first appeared in front of Linyuan as Zhong Xiaoxiao, she acted kind and simple. Zhong Xiaoxiao had been following Linyuan in obscurity, willing to give up everything for him. No matter what others thought of her, she didn't care. There was only Linyuan in De's eyes and heart.
But in fact, it was Yang Rongrong's custom-made character design specifically for Linyuan.
At that time, Linyuan had just been liberated from the sealed state, and his heart was filled with the desire to take revenge on the world, and he was full of violence.
The kind, simple and sincere Zhong Xiaoxiao was like a good medicine to him, soothing the resentment in his heart and making him involuntarily put down his guard.
Linyuan likes the innocent and harmless Zhong Xiaoxiao.
But Zhong Xiaoxiao is fake.
Yang Rongrong just wants Linyuan to understand this. She is not Zhong Xiaoxiao, and she doesn't want to be Zhong Xiaoxiao anymore.
Linyuan said slowly: "Originally, I thought it was because I didn't take good care of you and made you suffer a lot, so you would be disappointed and sad and finally abandon me."
Yang Rongrong said truthfully: "I did suffer a lot of grievances during those years by your side."
"The reason why you suddenly left me was neither because you were fed up with the grievances nor because Hongxing fell in love with someone else, but because your purpose has been achieved and I have no use value to you, right? "
Yang Rongrong nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
Linyuan laughed angrily at her and deliberately said something sarcastic.
"You are so honest!"
Yang Rongrong said calmly: "Because there is no need to lie."
"Is it because you feel that lying to me will no longer benefit you, so you don't bother to try to lie to me anymore?"
Linyuan's tone was sharp and aggressive, but Yang Rongrong was not angry.
She nodded again: "Well, there is also this reason."
She felt that she had already said this, and Linyuan would definitely be very angry. After all, he was also a demon king, how could he allow others to trample on his feelings like this?
She was already prepared for the other party to fall out with her. Although she couldn't beat him, she could summon Liu Lang and Luo Luo to help. With the power of their two ancient beasts, she should have no problem escaping from here alive.
Linyuan stared at her for a long time, as if he knew her again.
He said: "Not only are you selfish, you are also heartless."
Yang Rongrong admitted frankly: "Yes, this is the real me."
There should be no man in this world who would like a selfish and heartless woman.
But Linyuan suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
"It turns out this is you. It's so interesting. I like it more and more."
Yang Rongrong obviously didn't expect him to react like this.
After a while, she said: "I'm not Zhong Xiaoxiao, I'm not what you like."
Linyuan nodded: "I have already seen it."
Since he met her again, during the time they got together, her personality was completely different from Zhong Xiaoxiao's. He was not blind, so it was impossible not to see it.
But he didn't find it annoying, and even found it interesting.
Whether it was Zhong Xiaoxiao back then or her now, he was very attracted to her.
Yang Rongrong looked at Linyuan's interested expression and couldn't help but think of Shen Wenqu. Their personalities were completely different, but after learning her true identity, their reactions were very similar. They both thought it was okay.
She was genuinely confused.
"I don't understand, what do you see in me?"
No wonder the outside world had rumors that she had put a love spell on Shen Wenqu and Linyuan, making them obsessed with her. Their obsession with her was indeed beyond the normal range.
If she hadn't known that she didn't understand poison at all, she would have wondered if she had poisoned them without her knowledge?
