Chapter 114 - 112 Cui Xi’s Good Intentions
Three days had whisked by, and Lu Hong’s injuries had recovered a little with the help of Tong Ling’s Magic Potion.
"Big Brother Tu, are you getting used to living here?" Cui Xi sat in front of Lu Hong’s bed, her face brimming with smiles, her tone gentle.
These past few days, Cui Xi would visit him morning, noon, and night. Of course, Lu Hong didn’t think this was out of Cui Xi’s kindness; she was just watching for an opportunity to kill him.
"Thanks to you, my recovery has been very good." Lu Hong, thinking of Cui Xi’s previous actions, couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What does it feel like to be willing to kill your own relatives for the sake of seizing control over the family?"
"Well..." Facing such a sharp topic, Cui Xi showed no aversion, instead seriously recalling the scene at that time and began, "When I killed my uncle Ku Le, I felt relieved, happy, and also felt the burden on my shoulders suddenly increase!"
"Is that all?" Not hearing a hint of regret from Cui Xi’s mouth, a chill rose in Lu Hong’s heart. This woman’s malice was perhaps a bit too much.
"Yes, isn’t that enough? Or should I feel indebted? Guilty for killing my own uncle?" Cui Xi understood what Lu Hong meant and continued, "Uncle Ku Le was very kind to me since I was young, but he was really too hard-working. Once as a child, I insisted on going to the Demon Dynasty for fun, right when the grand meeting of the Demon Dynasty was being held. I originally thought our Kan Grey family was a prominent family among the demons, but on that day, my inner faith completely crumbled."
Cui Xi smiled and said, "I watched the uncle I revered most try to ingratiate himself with the second son of the Jade Illusion family, even going as far as to lie on the ground barking like a dog. I cried then, standing there stunned. It was from that moment on that I knew our Kan Grey family was nothing more than a money tree in the eyes of the great families of the Demon Dynasty, just an unwanted stray dog."
"Do you know? At this year’s first half of the Demon Dynasty’s grand meeting, a steward from the Xihe demon’s lineage, just a mere steward, actually made my uncle lick the bottom of his shoes." Cui Xi’s smile faded, and her face gradually grew colder: "More than half of the families in the entire Demon Clan had insulted my uncle, I’ve recorded each of these debts, and I’m determined to drive them to extinction one day!"
"But it was you who killed your uncle with your own hands."
