"Are you Xiaoqing? Or Mirage?"
When Pei Wende asked this question with a calm face, "Xiao Qing"'s red eyes revealed a look of interest - an expression that the real Xiao Qing would never have.
The real Xiao Qing has always had a cold and unruly expression.
Even if she really encounters something she is interested in, she will never show interest.
What's more, Pei Wende and Xiaoqing have been together for such a long time, how could the other party look at him with such eyes?
"It depends on how you understand it."
Without denying Pei Wende's guess, "Xiao Qing" put away the curiosity in his eyes and explained calmly.
"I own the body of this snake demon, the memory of this snake demon, and now I even have the emotions of this snake demon..."
"In the eyes of outsiders, I am just this snake demon."
"Xiao Qing"'s deliberate witticism did not make Pei Wende relax, but instead made his expression become more serious than ever.
"hold head high!"
As a direct reaction to Pei Wende's mood, Mohu Luojia, who was entrenched in the sky, suddenly let out a long roar.
The huge King Fudo also lowered his eyes, showing an "angry look" on his face, exuding endless majesty and solemnity.
"Okay, no more kidding!"
Seeing this situation, the mirage that occupied Xiao Qing's body curled his lips knowingly.
Because he knew that if he continued to tease like this, the current Ming King would probably have to kill the demon.
In his current state, if this King Ming is really cruel, he may "sleep" forever.
"I am indeed the 'Mirage' you call me, but I prefer others to call me 'Xi'."
"'The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk'."
Xi said this with a smile on her face, as if she was chatting with an old friend she hadn't seen for many years.
"Let me make it clear in advance that I did not seize your friend's body. I just borrowed her body temporarily."
"That was part of my deal with her."
When she said this, Xi suddenly paused, then continued to stare at Pei Wende and asked.
"I think you should already know the reason why this snake demon came to me, right?"
"She wants me to eradicate her emotions and desires, so that she will no longer be disturbed by the outside world and can pursue her own 'Tao' wholeheartedly."
Hearing this, Pei Wende frowned and nodded.
"I know that, but you obviously can't do that."
Pei Wende was telling the truth, because if Xi could really do this, Xiaoqing would not be like this.
"Indeed, because her wish itself is contradictory."
"Without the seven emotions and six desires, and without being free from the sufferings of the world, how can we have a firm heart of seeking the truth?"
Seeing Pei Wende's face gradually calm down, Xi knew that the other party had temporarily trusted him, so he continued to speak in a more comfortable tone.
"So I told her that I could temporarily strip away her emotions and let her experience what it feels like to be ruthless and desireless."
"At the same time, I can also satisfy her about her desire to seek truth."
As if talking about what to eat later, Xi said something in a very understated tone that shocked even practitioners with a little common sense.
"But these are two wishes, so just leaving a 'portrait' of her is not enough."
"So I asked her, I want a 'portrait' of you."
A little surprised, but also a little aware...
When Pei Wende heard what Xi said, he was not surprised at all.
"She shouldn't agree to this request, right?"
Having said that, Pei Wende was filled with anxiety when he thought of everything that had happened so far.
"Under normal circumstances, the snake demon would definitely not agree to this request."
Smiling and shaking his head, Xi first gave an explanation that made Pei Wende feel at ease, and then changed the subject.
"But that's under normal circumstances..."
"Because before making the second request, I had already helped her realize her first wish."
"In other words, when I asked for a 'portrait' of you, the snake demon had actually lost all its emotions."
When a creature loses the fetters of emotion and faces a monster like Xi who sees people's hearts, you can only imagine what choice he will make.
"So, after I imprinted her emotions and obsessions into the 'painting', I went to Tongqing Temple with the help of her wish."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Wende, who was still a little confused at first, finally figured out the ins and outs of the whole incident.
"In other words, the person who went up the mountain as 'Zhou Sheng' was actually you!"
"And the reason why you want my 'portrait' is not because you really want my obsession..."
"That was just an excuse to bring me here."
Using a questioning sentence in an affirmative tone, Pei Wende was not consulting Xiang Xi, but stating the facts.
"Indeed, after all, I have become like this now. If I want to leave here, I can only rely on the strong wish of the 'Prayer'."
"It just so happens that this snake demon not only has a strong wish, but you, as the source of its wish, also have the strength to solve my current predicament."
Xiaoqing's will power was born from Pei Wende, and Pei Wende happened to be able to solve Xi's current predicament, so Xi naturally used this will power to show up in front of him.
"And this is why Ada and Zhou Sheng treat me as a 'guest'?"
Xi nodded again with a smile, as if he didn't notice Pei Wende's suppressed anger at all.
"They are not wrong, you are indeed my invited guest..."
"It's just that I used some tricks."
"Don't get angry yet. Don't forget that this snake demon came to us all by himself."
"If I hadn't lured you here, I'm afraid this snake demon would have really severed its relationship with you."
Xi didn't think she had done anything wrong. After all, in the final analysis, He was just a "tool" that responded to the wishes of the petitioner.
"From this point of view alone, I am actually quite kind to you."
"Hmph! Are you kind?!"
No longer able to hide the sneer on his face, Pei Wende shouted loudly.
"If you take over Xiaoqing's body, it's considered a favor to me..."
"Then if I kill you now, will it be considered a favor to you?"
I saw Pei Wende scolding him while forming the Vajra Seal with one hand.
The next moment, the mandala pattern composed of countless concentric circles continued to spread outward from his feet, forming a complete and complex six-layer wheel formation in an instant.
