The young man's face was already slightly purple due to suffocation, Xue Qingchen squeezed tighter at this moment, if Chong Yuan was just pretending, he wouldn't resist if he didn't believe that he was going to kill him.

But as time passed, Zhong Yuan really didn't resist at all, the boy's eyes had already started to drift away, if he was pinched down again, Zhong Yuan might really die under his hands.

Xue Qingchen withdrew his hand abruptly, the boy bent down and coughed violently, Xue Qingchen looked at Zhong Yuan's figure with scrutiny in his eyes.

When he came into contact with Chong Yuan just now, he had thoroughly inspected his body, and found that Chong Yuan's cultivation base was still in the Golden Core stage, and he didn't have the slightest bit of magic energy or unknown power on his body, just like before.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you continue to follow me?"

"Cough! Cough cough..."

The violent cough gradually subsided, the boy straightened up, his eyes were reddish, and there was a certain emotion that Xue Qingchen couldn't understand in those dark pupils.

"As long as I can stay by Master's side, Master is willing to do whatever disciples ask me to do."

Xue Qingchen didn't believe it.

"You don't complain about the way you were treated before you became a teacher?"

Chong Yuan lowered his eyes when he heard the words, his long eyelashes concealed the emotion in his eyes, and after a while, the young man's low and hoarse voice came.

"The apprentice knows that the master is forced to do so, so the disciple has never complained about the master."

With such sincerity, Xue Qingchen almost believed it, but whether it was true or not, at least he would not let Chong Yuan leave until the blackening value was not full.

Xue Qingchen turned around and walked towards the courtyard, her brocade boots stepped on the soft snow, leaving a few shallow shoe prints.

"Yuan'er, if you really want to stay by my teacher's side, then you must not reveal half a word about what happened in the past to outsiders. Otherwise, my teacher doesn't mind cleaning up the door now."

Chong Yuan looked at Xue Qingchen's slender back, and stepped up to follow.

"The disciple understands."

After entering the house, Xue Qingchen frowned slightly when he saw the boy who was still following him, and said coldly:

"You haven't left yet, why are you following?"

Chong Yuan looked at Xue Qingchen, those dark eyes were shining brightly at the moment, he opened his lips, hesitant to speak.

"Master, I have something else I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"Has Master been in Cangwu for the past two months? Have you been to other places?"

"Huh?" Xue Qingchen's breath was slightly cold, but there was doubt in his heart.

"What do you ask for this?"

Chong Yuan looked at Xue Qingchen's face with anticipation in his eyes.

"My disciple was rescued by someone when he was in distress two months ago. Master, the person who saved my disciple is you, Master?"

The doubts in Xue Qingchen's heart were even greater, but even so, his face was still calm, and he thought of the answer with the fastest speed. Xue Qingchen gave the answer under Zhong Yuan's expectant eyes.

"No."

The light in the boy's eyes dimmed, and Xue Qingchen could clearly see the loss in his eyes.

"If there is nothing else, you can leave, the teacher is going to rest."

Seeing Chongyuan walk to the door, Xue Qingchen suddenly said:

"and many more."

"Master?" The young man turned his head, and there was some expression in his dark eyes. Xue Qingchen pretended not to see it, and said calmly:

"When you move to Wanxueju in the future, you don't have to live in that hole anymore."

A smile appeared in the boy's eyes, and his voice was raised a little.

"Yes, Master!"

After confirming that Zhong Yuan had really left, Xue Qingchen quickly knocked on the system with his own doubts.

[Chong Yuan doesn't seem to have any memory after breaking the seal? ]

【Based on the current situation, the protagonist does not have any memories after breaking the seal, but it does not rule out the possibility that the protagonist acted for you on purpose. 】

Xue Qingchen calmed down and asked:

[How much is the protagonist's current blackening value? ]

【60. 】

[Um?Why did it drop? ]

[Host, I don't know either. 】

After thinking for a long time, Xue Qingchen suddenly felt relieved. The most important thing for him now is to increase the protagonist's blackening value. As for whether Zhong Yuan has the memory of the demon king, he doesn't care at all.

And the other side.

Chong Yuan looked at the dilapidated cave in front of him, stretched out his hand to touch his neck that was still in pain, the dark tide was surging in his dark eyes, and then he hooked his lips, his eyes overflowing with evil.

Xue Qingchen, you owe this deity, and this deity will repay you twice in the future. Now, there is another one.

Since Chongyuan moved to Wanxue Residence that day, Xue Qingchen can be said to have resorted to various methods to torment Chongyuan.

Serving tea and water, sweeping snow and pruning branches, almost entrusted Ling Xuefeng with all the hard work that Ling Xuefeng could think of. He even did things like the original owner did, using him as a cauldron to absorb his spiritual power. But in the end Xue Qingchen discovered that Zhong Yuan's blackening value did not increase at all.

Could it be that he didn't do it hard enough?

In the original book, one of the things that raised the blackness value the most was killing Sikong Yanyu, and the other was framing him. Currently, he can't do both of these things. It seems that he has to think of other ways.

Buckle buckle.

There was a knock on the door outside the house, Xue Qingchen recalled his thoughts, and called out "Come in" in a cold voice.

Chong Yuan pushed the door open and entered, holding a small white jade bowl in his hand, which was steaming.

"Master, the medicine is ready."

Drinking medicine has become one of the things that Xue Qingchen has to do every day, just like the three meals a day before wearing the book, Xue Qingchen has to drink three times a day, it was Si Heng who came to him to remind him ten thousand times Must drink.

In order to bring out the highest medicinal properties of the medicine, he even specially trained Zhong Yuan to make Xue Qingchen take the freshest medicine at the best time.

Even though it was a panacea, the taste was still unpleasant. During the period of drinking the medicine, the bitterness in Xue Qingchen's mouth never faded away.

Chong Yuan performed extremely well during this time, so good that he couldn't find a single mistake, even the temperature of the freshly baked medicine was just right, which made Xue Qingchen want to punish Chong Yuan with the excuse that the temperature of the medicine was too hot. no.

Zhong Yuan is too well-behaved, to the point of being weird.

During this period of time, he has been secretly monitoring all of Zhong Yuan's movements, but he has not noticed any changes. He only earnestly finished all the chores that he asked him to do, so that he really looks like an outstanding disciple of 24 filial piety.

"Put down the medicine, you can leave."

Chong Yuan was stunned for a moment, said "yes", then turned and left, and the door closed.

Xue Qingchen frowned as he looked at the bowl of steaming brown concoction.

[System, how can I increase the blackening value of Zhongyuan? ]

[It's very simple, the host will cripple his tendons and cultivation like the original owner, blind his eyes with his poisonous hoarse voice, and then throw him into the wild where monsters are everywhere and let him fend for himself, this system guarantees , Zhongyuan's blackening value will explode or even fill up directly. 】

[Such a cruel thing, I can't do it. ]

[The next task of the host is to kill Chong Yuan with his own hands, can the host do it? 】

Xue Qingchen was silent, he had always aimed at this before, but could he really kill someone who had no grievances or enmities with him?What's the difference between this and that demon?

【If the host can't do it, the task will be declared a failure, and the contract between us will also be dissolved, and the host's conditions will naturally not be fulfilled. 】

Xue Qingchen's face turned pale when he heard the words, his heart was full of emotions, and he didn't know how to reply.

The system naturally saw Xue Qingchen's struggle, so it said again:

[The host doesn't have to worry, the abyss you want to kill is just a secondary body of his body, even if he dies, he can be resurrected in the body, and when he comes back to life, the host will let him kill you to take revenge, so your task is not only If it can be completed, it will be returned to him with a life for a life. 】

Seeing that Xue Qingchen was still silent, the system sighed softly, and said: [The host should think about it carefully, we haven't reached that part of the plot yet, the host has time to think again. 】

Xue Qingchen hadn't made up his mind yet, but what happened that day turned his entire state of mind upside down.
