I am on the evil side? I am turning the tables!

After stopping and resting along the way, they had already traveled half the distance.

Since he was born, Chris has never experienced a harder life than this, with bad food and harsh environment.

And his soft, beautiful hair had lost some of its beautiful luster because of the night's travel and the rain.

"Give."

Su Tang handed the grilled food to Chris. Even if he didn't like it or it tasted bland, he had to eat it.

He is the Beast King, but he cannot maintain his strength and physical needs to the extent that Cedric can do without food for a long time.

Besides, this food was made by Su Tang, so even if it didn't taste good, he would still eat it with a smile.

"How come you are so familiar with this kind of thing? Finding a place to rest, and cooking and stuff like that."

With Su Tang's identity, it was not her turn to do these things, and she was too skilled at them, as if she had experienced such a turbulent life.

"Did Cedric abuse you?"

Cedric doesn't look like the type to mistreat females, so is he a hypocrite?

No one will be too harsh on females of their own race, no matter if they are of the dirty-blooded race, or males of other races, and this is true even when the superior is treating the inferior.

This is also the reason why Jonal's father did not kill his mother directly but drove her away after she climbed into bed. They have a high tolerance for females.

It’s just that Jonal’s mother is too deeply entangled, and the person he is going to marry is of higher status than him. There are many people in the Silver Moon Clan who can marry in his place. If there is a stain, he will definitely be replaced in this marriage.

In order to climb up, he had to get rid of this trouble.

In fact, if Jonal's mother was smarter, he might not have done such a drastic thing.

"No."

Su Tang added some firewood. It was not easy to find drier branches now, so they picked them up and asked Chris to dry them before using them.

The firelight created a faint halo, illuminating her small face, which was as white as jade.

In fact, along the way, Su Tang was thinking whether she should confess to Chris.

She wanted to go back to the Night Tribe and seek help from Erlan and the others. After all, stealing the city lord orders of the two cities was extremely difficult, so she had to ask for help.

In this way, she would inevitably be exposed.

But if she doesn't make it clear, how can she hide it from Chris? Chris is not stupid, so how can she hide it from him?

Chris's cheeks were hot, he turned his head and said in a very soft voice: "Su Tang, I like you very much."

After saying this, he pretended nothing had happened and ate the meat with big mouthfuls. But his fluttering eyelashes proved that he was not calm at the moment.

He liked this word and told her many times. Every time he said it, Su Tang's mood was different.

The first time, she thought Chris only regarded her as the shadow of his mother. Su Tang sneered at his liking for her and never took it to heart.

The second time was when he pretended to be asleep and then muttered to himself while snuggling in her arms. He had just had a quarrel with his brother.

Although Su Tang always called him a little pervert in his heart, it was undeniable that Chris's crazy and pitiful appearance was quite pitiful.

This time, Chris also told her that he liked her, but she couldn't ignore it like she did before.

"Chris, I lied to you."

Su Tang poked the crackling burning branch, and the surging sourness came like a tide, stirring her heart and causing it to ache.

"We can never be together, because... I am of the filthy blood race."

She didn't dare to look at his expression, for she was afraid of seeing disgust and disbelief in his eyes.

Chris is now like a balloon that will burst at the slightest poke. He cannot withstand such a fact, but Su Tang doesn't know how to deceive him.

In other words, she couldn't feel at ease with being deceived like this.

She had used him enough.

Unexpectedly, Chris just said "oh" calmly and continued eating the meat in his hand.

After waiting for a long time, he still didn't continue to speak. Su Tang raised his head and looked at him: "Don't you hate me? I am a member of the dirty blood race, and I... lied to you."

"When it comes to deception, Cedric is worse off than me, right? He must not know about this, right?"

As a veteran, he was deceived. Thinking of this, he felt better.

The corner of Su Tang's mouth twitched. She knew he was overthinking it, but she didn't explain.

"I hate the dirty-blood race, but I don't hate you. I like you so much... How could I hate you?"

He turned his head and looked outside the cave. Because of his position, Su Tang couldn't see his expression clearly.

"So, this is why you have been resisting me? Because you are of the dirty blood race? What if I tell you now that I don't care about any of this?"

The person he cares about most in this world no longer wants him.

How dare he ask for too much?

Tears flowed out of his tear glands uncontrollably, and after a moment, mist welled up in Su Tang's eyes.

If Chris was just treating her as a substitute, she could feel at ease and selectively ignore it to make herself feel better.

"Why don't you see me as a stand-in? Why do you have to like me?"

Su Tang yelled at him: "I clearly lied to you. Everything I did before was fake. Everything I said to you was just to make you happy. I never intended to be with you, and there is no way we can be together!"

"You should hate me, despise me, spit on me, and abuse me! The only thing you shouldn't do is forgive me! Chris, are you stupid?"

It's not because he's stupid, but because he likes it, which makes him selectively ignore those things.

From the very beginning, Chris could feel that Su Tang was resistant to him, but he pretended not to see it.

My mother once said that this is how it is to like someone.

No matter what she looks like, good or bad, stupid or smart, no matter what she becomes, I like you and it doesn't matter.

"You can lie to me like this for the rest of your life, but why don't you lie to me a little more and comfort me? I'd rather pretend that I didn't see anything."

His voice became weaker, hoarse and trembling, and his palms were clenched so tightly that veins appeared on the back of his hands.

"Because what I'm about to do might cost me my life, I can't lie to you with a clear conscience and let you die with me."

Cedric's original plan was to let Su Tang coax Chris to help clear the way. After all, good labor would be wasted if not used.

Su Tang knew how dangerous what she was about to do was, so she didn't want to involve Chris. She just thought of it as a rare act of kindness from a hypocritical person like her.

"Chris, you should go on your own for the rest of the journey. Go to the Holy City. There aren't many Pasak forces there. You can have a place there."

After saying that, Su Tang pulled up his hat and left the cave facing the rain curtain.

She didn't dare look back. The power in her blood surged as she quickly moved through the woods. Rain mixed with tears dissipated and fell.
