Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 128 The truth?

"What is he?" Geng Miaowan felt her nerves were about to give way to the truth she had heard today. She had never imagined that Qiu Pi had done all this just to keep her. If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have told him the truth from the beginning, told him that they were from different worlds and that everything he did was in vain.

Qianmian Shang whispered a few words in her ear, his face showing that smug smile again, "This might be a lucky accident. I've been given such a good body for no reason, so of course I'm not going to let it go."

Qiu Pi... he's actually a demon...

Geng Miaowan was stunned as she processed the information Qianmian Shang had given her. She felt that all the things she had encountered recently combined were more surprising than what she had experienced today. She had long suspected that Qiu Pi was no ordinary person, but she never expected that he was actually a demon, because there was not a trace of demonic aura about him.

Perhaps she should have realized it long ago: he has always been a demon, hasn't he?

She sat there somewhat dejectedly, listening to what Qianmian Shang would say next.

"At first, I didn't know how he suppressed the Sorrow Poison, but when I learned he was a demon, I understood. And your lousy magic greatly reduced my abilities, I couldn't even change my face anymore. But heaven has mercy, I actually encountered Qiu Pi, who is a demon, at this time, and he even willingly allowed someone to enter his body, this is truly... hahaha..."

Thousand Faces of Sorrow couldn't stop laughing as it spoke, its face full of smugness and a joy at escaping death. Geng Miaowan, however, wasn't in the same mood. She gave it a gloomy look. "Is that all?"

“Yes…yes…Since I said I'd let you die knowing the truth, I'll naturally tell you everything.” Qianmian Shang stopped laughing as he spoke, paused, and continued, “If he were just an ordinary person, even if I could possess his body, I could only use it for a short time at most, because I can't stop the decay of a human body. But he's a demon, so it's different. Demons and monsters are inherently connected, so if I possess his body, then that body will belong to me alone.”

"Didn't he realize your intentions?" She didn't believe that Qiu Pi would be completely unaware of a demon trying to take over his body.

"Of course there is, so he has been trying his best to suppress me during this time, so it's not so easy for me to take over his body."

Geng Miaowan didn't respond, because when talking to someone else, there's always a twist at this point. Sure enough, seeing her silence, Qianmian Shang continued on her own, "But today, things took an unexpected turn. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you for this."

"Me?" Geng Miaowan was puzzled. She had only recently learned about this matter, so how was it related to her?

"Don't be surprised. Sometimes, a person's success in making something happen doesn't necessarily mean they did anything. If it weren't for your actions during this period, which made him suspicious and led him to take the risk of sealing the person in Shang, I wouldn't have been completely confident in taking over his body. You know, I was originally prepared to fight to the death."

"He only has himself to blame." This is the four-word summary that Luan Hao gave of Qiu Pi's actions.

However, Geng Miaowan was stunned. It felt as if someone had struck her heart with a huge hammer, making her whole body tremble.

Although she had considered countless reasons, she had never considered the ones Qianmian Shang mentioned. It turned out that while she was doubting him, he had already begun to doubt her...

During this time, Qianmian Shang had been residing in Qiu Pi's body and had witnessed everything he did, including his attitude towards Geng Miaowan. It knew that she truly didn't care about Qiu Pi at all. Although it didn't think there was anything wrong with it forcibly taking over Qiu Pi's body, it still felt sorry for him.

“Qiu Pi…” she murmured.

Unexpectedly, he received a response. Qiu Pi's face showed a few moments of struggle before he put on a sorrowful expression. "Wan'er... I should have known you had no heart for me, I should have given up sooner. It wouldn't have come to this..." His eyes were overflowing with deep affection, but then suddenly turned sharp. "You must leave here immediately. Qianmian Shang is not easy to deal with!"

But Geng Miaowan was unwilling to really leave. After learning so much, she couldn't allow herself to just walk away. Besides, her target was Qianmian Shang, and she couldn't leave without taking it.

A moment later, Qiu Pi's face contorted with rage again, and he said with dissatisfaction, "That fool, he's about to die, and he's still thinking about you. Do you know what he was thinking just now?"

It stared at Geng Miaowan, who instinctively shook her head. Qianmian Shang continued, "He was actually thinking just now that if anything happened to you because of him, he wouldn't be able to die in peace. Isn't he stupid? Haha..."

Finally, Qianmian Shang burst into maniacal laughter, unable to stop laughing, "There can't be such a man in this world, there can't be such a man in this world... Geng Miaowan, you should be grateful, if it weren't for you, Qiu Pi would never be in this state!"

Consumed by the Thousand Faces of Sorrow, Qiu Pi's state was unpredictable, shifting between melancholy and madness. Geng Miaowan's eyes welled with tears. "Qiu Pi, why did you do this..."

"Since you also pity his suffering, I will send you down to be a pair of star-crossed lovers with him, so as to fulfill his wishes." As it spoke, its expression turned stern, and one hand quickly grabbed her neck.

Geng Miaowan felt the air in her chest growing increasingly scarce, until it felt like it was about to explode, her face turning bright red. Qiu Pi's face showed a sorrowful expression again, his eyes filled with pity as he looked at her, but he uttered vicious words, clamoring for her to hurry up and die.

Just then, it was exactly midnight. As a voice appeared in her mind, saying, "We're back," Geng Miaowan knew she had to take action.

She paused, then reached out her hand to Qiu Pi, whose body was now possessed by Thousand Faces of Sorrow. (To be continued.)
