“Little Xing, do you really want to make me angry?” Chi Jiao raised her eyebrows and looked sharply at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing deflated like a ball. It said weakly, “I didn’t mean to go overboard, I just wanted to help you. That old woman is She Qi’s subordinate. She seems to know about the Heart of Time. I know you’ve been worried about the Heart of Time. So, if I could help you find out the truth, you don’t need to worry so much anymore.”
Chi Jiao was surprised by Shen Xing’s words.
She never thought that Shen Xing would do such a thing for her.
Shen Xing was a mirror spirit. It had no feelings, which was why it was so stubborn.
However, after so long, Shen Xing was slowly changing. It was no longer as mischievous as before. It even knew how to take the initiative to get close to people and knew what liking and caring for others meant.
This subtle change made Shen Xing no longer an ordinary demon. Instead, it gradually became a “human”.
Chi Jiao’s heart warmed.
She patted Shen Xing’s head. “Thank you. I’m very happy. However, no matter what you do, you have to pay attention to your methods. Next time if the same type of situation crops up, I hope you can come to talk to me first.”
Shen Xing looked up at her and nodded silently. “I understand. I’ll be obedient next time.”
Chi Jiao was very gratified and reached out to touch Shen Xing’s little head.
Shen Xing slapped her hand away in embarrassment and muttered, “I’m not a kitten or a puppy. Don’t touch me like this. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see that old woman and see how we can get the truth out of her.”
Chi Jiao nodded and went to visit the old woman with Shen Xing.
In the cell, the old woman, who had just been tormented by Shen Xing, seemed to have lost her soul as she lay on the bed. She kept groaning as if she was about to die.
Chi Jiao saw this sight the moment she arrived. But seeing that the old woman’s face was flushed, she knew that she was fine. “Stop pretending. I know you’re fine.”
The old woman immediately looked up at her and quickly complained, “Nonsense! I’m very weak now. You 117 people are inhumane. You can even treat an old, weak, sick, and disabled lady like me so harshly. In my opinion, you people are just a group of hooligans. You’re unreasonable!”
“Old woman, don’t be so shameless. If you say that we’re unreasonable, I’ll show you what it means to be truly unreasonable. Do you still think that I haven’t tortured you enough?” Shen Xing questioned the old lady aggressively.
The old woman’s heart trembled and her expression became fearful.
However, the old woman forced herself to calm down. She cleared her throat and said, “Forget it. Do you think I was scared? If you kill me, you can forget about finding out about the Heart of Time. I heard from Green Demon that you are very worried about how to remove it from that woman’s body.”
