Ways to handle this little demon

If this snake was the real Lishi Ye, didn't it mean this little animal was also cursed by his blood as well?

What He Jingyi meant was like this. To make sure that all the subordinates had no guts to betray him, his evil father always made demons, who called themselves most loyal followers of his, get cursed by He Jingyi's blood.

This way, it proved that these demons were actually loyal to He Tengfei to the extreme that they even dared to get cursed with black blood curse, willingly offering their lives to their lord's daughter. 

Lishi Ye was also one of such bold and loyal followers of He Tengfei who dared to offer even his very own life to him by deliberately getting cursed. That's why He Jingyi thought he might be able to control the life of this little snake with his black blood curse even though he hadn't done anything to it so far. Why not make an experiment right away to confirm his suspicions? 

"Your Highness...I've got an idea. Let the snake just go back to the young lad. "

Nodding his head, Ming Zixin immediately tossed the little snake to Yang Zhiqiang. Seeing his little Xiang being thrown his way, Yang Zhiqiang hurriedly raised his hands to catch the little snake. And as soon as he caught it, Yang Zhiqiang's wobbly legs suddenly gave out and he himself also collapsed to the ground. 

But the young cultivator didn't pass out. Yang Zhiqiang collapsed because he was just too worn out. Earlier, he was only focusd on getting back his little Xiang that he didn't realize the pain of injuries all over his body was that unbearable.

Gently cuddling his little Xiang to his chest, Yang Zhiqiang bit his bottom lips to suppress that suffocated feeling in his heart. Though he did manage to get his little Xiang back, both of their lives were still in danger. What was he supposed to do to let his little demonic beast survive? Even by now, he could feel his little Xiang trembling in his arms. His baby was small and weak to begin with. It couldn't even stand getting gripped by his neck like other normal ones. Had they used just a little more force, his weak little Xiang might have lost its life already. 

Yang Zhiqiang was struggling to sit up and confront the enemies who showed no signs to spare any of them when he sensed his little Xiang suddenly gone stiff in his arms. The shocked Yang Zhiqiang immediately sat up and looked down at his little Xiang only to realize it was expelling blood from both nostrils and mouth. And the hue of blood was black. 

"What did you do to my Xiang?! Did you... Did you just curse him? "

"Well..... It seems like the answer should be a yes since I hate explaining unnecessary things. So, young lad, are you going to change your mind or not. I think it's the best just to comply right now. Otherwise I'm going to disintegrate that little thing with just a move. Can you really bear to see your little baby dying right in your hands?... Hm? .... "

Looking down at the little white snake in his lap, Yang Zhiqiang bit his lower lip. From the corner of his eye, a droplet of tear flowed down his cheek. He neither wanted to betray his own sect nor deceive Jianyu sect elders, cooperating with these two wicked demons. He really didn't want to. Even if they threatened to take his life away, Yang Zhiqiang was not going to change his mind. But not his little Xiang..... 

His baby was such a precious being to him. There's no way he would let his little Xiang die right in front of his eyes. Yang Zhiqiang knew it would be utterly stupid of him if he actually chose to betray his own sect just because of the life of a little demonic beast. 

He shouldn't be succumbing to these demons just because of such a petty life. Yang Zhiqiang knew he shouldn't change his mind. Even if his little Xiang lost his life right in front of him, he should let him die just like this. But what was he doing right now?

Hugging his little snake gently, Yang Zhiqiang let tears flow down his cheeks before saying. 

"I'll do it. I'll do as you want me to, so just.... just spare my Xiang..... "

Stupid! Utterly stupid!..... You should have just ignored it no matter how that demonic princess tortured this snake. It was just a demonic beast anyway. It's not even a human. Why did you even bother to care about it in the first place? 

Wrong..... Everything was wrong. Just take back your words already. Let him die just like this. Let him die and suffer just like this. Do you even know what you are trying to do right now? Just to save its lowly life, you just decided to betray your own people. It's not worth it. Don't you dare disregard your own morals just to save this insignificant life.

What's so good about this damn snake anyway? Apart from giving you troubles all the time, there's nothing it was good at. Not only it didn't have any power unlike other demonic beasts, it was even weaker than normal snakes. It was such an absolute trash. It's not worth it... There's no way it's worth your attention or concern, so just take back your words already! 

"I'm telling you to spare him! Why are you still torturing him? Just let him go already! Don't you dare make my Xiang suffer anymore!"

So idiotic.... You really are the despair of everyone, Yang Zhiqiang. How stupid... there's no words to describe your silliness anymore. How are you willing to exchange everything just to save this petty insignificant life? Just let it die already!..... 

"Let him go! Don't hurt my Xiang anymore.... just let him go already.....sob... 

please...

Please just spare him...."
