Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 401 Why am I relegated to the side dish?!
After all, he was an exceptionally strong player with exceptional mental fortitude. Duan Huaige quickly adjusted his mindset and found a breakthrough.

Guilty conscience? Why should I feel guilty? I'm here to save people! As for why things turned out this way, you'll have to ask Little Jiang why you had to eat that strange spiritual object to cultivate!
Running away won't solve the problem; it will only make the problem bigger! To prevent his beloved childhood sweetheart from going down the same dark path again, Duan Huaige resolutely chose to shatter her beautiful illusions and let their relationship have a soft landing.

He has to shift the blame, and moreover, he didn't really take much of the blame in this whole affair!

“Xiao Jiang, you’re finally awake…” Duan Huaige said with a serious expression, “Do you know how dangerous you were just now?”

"Are you talking to me?" Little Jiang the Great Demon King asked in confusion, "The illusions these days are so intelligent... Right, these are inner demons. Inner demons all originate from the spiritual world, so of course they will appear very real. Otherwise, how could they deceive cultivators?"

"My Dao heart is still not firm enough. I almost went berserk because of this demonic scene." Xiao Jiang sighed. "I'm ashamed. How can I lead Cangling to resist Qin Shuangjiang's sneak attack like this... You know, she's already far ahead and got the first kill from Xiao Duan..."

"I wonder how things are going between me and Xiao Duan in the real world? It's so late, and we still haven't gotten back together... Could it be that Xiao Duan is so obsessed with me... Tuanzi, that he's forgotten to get down to business?"

Duan Huaige: ? ? ?

The value of the saying "When a person returns to their true self, they are invincible" continues to rise. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, just as you can't wake up a turtle that has retreated into its shell.

Wait... what did Xiao Jiang just say? How did she know that the King of Qin had won the first prize?

Duan Huaige silently turned his gaze to Xie Cangling. The poor little white flower, seemingly innocent but actually cunning, blinked her big eyes and gave Duan Huaige a look full of apology...

"Brother Huaige... I didn't mean to..."

Duan Huaige: "..."

Okay, since she said that, it probably wasn't intentional... right?

The adorable Xiao Xie successfully won Duan Huaige's forgiveness with her excellent public image, but now is not the time to investigate who is to blame.

"Xiao Jiang, wake up! Take a good look at who I am!"

"You're a demon in your heart, you're an illusion!" Xiao Jiang struggled and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe my best friend would betray me, I don't believe that not only did you not have my first time, but I also watched you lose your second time!"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Stop trying to confuse people!"

"My childhood sweetheart is pure and innocent, my best friend is upright and incorruptible! I, Jiang Xiyu, have not been swayed by any fandom!"

Duan Huaige: "..."

This guy is hopeless, completely hopeless... Do you really have to see Xiao Xie turned into a cream puff and a little green tea before you'll believe that what you're seeing is real?

Quite fittingly, a stream of liquid spiritual energy slowly flowed out from Green Tea Xiao Xie's body, and slowly slid down...

Real cream puffs and green tea.

Seeing this, Little Jiang the Great Demon King seemed to finally break down. She gritted her teeth and said, "Even though it's just a demonic illusion, you fake Cang Ling dared to steal my home right in front of me! I'll tear you apart, you little tea tea!"

"Give her back! Give me back my innocent, kind-hearted, and always considerate best friend!" With that, she lunged forward, trying to grab Xiao Xie and use the power of the rightful wife to repay the mistress, Cha Cha. Seeing this, Duan Huaige quickly grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Xiao Jiang, wake up! We're in reality right now! Cang Ling was just trying to save you!"

The little green tea girl, her clothes tugged by the little devil Xiao Jiang, her shoulders half-exposed, her eyes slightly red and filled with tears, said, "Brother Huai Ge... let Sister Xi Yu hit me to vent her anger... it's all my fault... it's my fault... I just... I just like you too much, Brother Huai Ge..."

"Still drinking tea! I'll destroy you!" Little Jiang the Great Demon King roared. "You inner demons are the worst! Don't even think about fooling me!"

Duan Huaige: ?
"According to you... then it's perfectly reasonable for me to attack you as a demon in my heart, right?"

"Get lost! You bastard! Don't even think about using a car that's been on other tracks to get over my speed bumps!" Xiao Jiang shouted angrily. "You think you can get all the advantages, huh?"

Cangling has only just been noticed by you, and now you want to drag me into it too... Isn't this just throwing a party?
At this moment, Jiang Xiyu completely forgot that her initial goal was to have a hot meal. Shame and anger clouded her judgment, making it impossible for her to accept the plot of being betrayed by her best friend.

The worst part is that you betrayed me, and you did it right in front of me!
Are you suggesting I be used as a side dish?

"Why should Qin Shuangjiang get the first bite, my most trusted best friend get the second bite, and I get to eat the leftovers third? Bah! I don't want that!"

"Even if I die, even if Qin Shuangjiang whips me to death with a top, I will never eat a single bite of your leftovers!"

Duan Huaige raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Hmm? Little Jiang, aren't you quite clear-headed?"

Little Jiang the Great Demon King's face immediately stiffened, and he said angrily, "I just said that this is an illusion, a demon in my heart. How could I willingly succumb to a demon in my heart?"

"If you push me any further, watch out, I might turn evil in a heartbeat! Then none of you will escape, and you'll all be tortured day and night inside the Emperor's Banner!"

"Xiao Jiang, this is actually a misunderstanding..." Duan Huaige said righteously, "Although I don't know why you would eat such a strange spiritual object, in the end, it was Cang Ling and I who saved you, and now you want to kill our two saviors!"

"Do you know that Cang Ling took the Nine Nether Mist Lotus to save you, and her life was hanging by a thread... If I hadn't arrived in time, you two would probably both be dead because of what you did!"

"Jiang Xiyu, how dare you turn evil!"

Hearing this, Little Jiang the Demon King, who was originally furious, gradually calmed down.

Hmm? That makes sense... I planned it all, and I was the one who wanted to eat the spirit creature. To avoid being discovered by Xiao Duan, I also asked Cang Ling to take the Nine Nether Mist Lotus...

As for Cang Ling, she only did her best, but in the end, by a twist of fate, she ended up getting the short end of the stick...

Wait a minute, does this whole blame-shifting stunt mean that in the end I'll be the one who gets blamed?

Little Jiang the Great Demon King suddenly felt a little guilty, because her motives, once revealed, were somewhat impure...

Even so, Xiao Jiang still stubbornly said, "Then...then why didn't you just...do it directly, only do Cang Ling...are you looking down on me?"

Yeah... Why am I even bothered about who he sleeps with? The real question is... why doesn't he sleep with me? Why does he even treat me like a side dish?
