Senior sister, stop brainwashing me, I can understand your thoughts.

Chapter 18 If he dies, replace him with another one

Originally, a furnace of hundreds of pills was almost successful, but because the medicinal materials were doubled tenfold, the simple alchemy furnace was filled with compressed powerful spiritual power, and there was a spiritual fire outside that was roasting it crazily.

In the end, it couldn't hold on any longer, and the elixir was on the verge of exploding.

When Lu Xingyan saw something was wrong, he probably wanted to blow up the furnace, so he abandoned the cave and ran away without even thinking about it.

It wasn't until I ran far away that I realized that a new neighbor had been affected.

But it was all too late.

Lu Xingyan returned to the cave and used the power of wind to blow away the choking black smoke. He stepped on the ruins of Le Zhengyan's cave and cried without tears.

"Junior brother? Can you hear my voice? Are you okay?" Lu Xingyan shouted downwards with his spiritual power.

When the alchemy furnace blew up the cave, Le Zhengyan couldn't escape at all because of the marrow cleansing.

Fortunately, his cave was separated from Lu Xingyan's by a room. Although it was collapsed by the bomb, there was still some space in the triangular corner of the carved stone bed that had not collapsed, allowing him to squat in this place.

At this moment, Lu Xingyan was standing on his grave... No, Lu Xingyan was stepping on the ruins that trapped him. The distance between them was within fifty meters, and Le Zhengyan heard her inner voice conversation again.

[Lao Liu, if the villain dies in an accident, can the villain be replaced in this case? 】

[Logically speaking, we are bound to the villain and cannot be changed]
  [But Le Zhengyan was buried alive, and he didn’t respond even if you called him. His cultivation level is low, so I can’t rule out that he is dead, and I am still alive and well. Is it possible to replace the villain who died in an accident? ]
  Le Zhengyan, who was about to respond to Lu Xingyan's call, laughed angrily when he heard this.

After reading so many thoughts, he finally understood that the life and death of Lu Xingyan, the sixth contracted beast, was tied to his blackening value.

So Lu Xingyan's kindness to him was all to lower his blackening value and earn points to exchange for what she wanted.

In the end, it was just using him.

But unlike the people he met in his previous life, Lu Xingyan would not hurt him because he wanted to lower his blackening value.

Looking around at the darkness, which was full of broken cave stone pillars, Le Zhengyan fell into deep thought. He began to doubt whether what he heard from Lu Xingyan's heart was true or false.

Are you sure this person is here to lower his blackening value and won't hurt him?
  They buried him alive!

Since becoming the Demon Lord, Le Zhengyan has never suffered such grievances except being struck to death by an inexplicable thunder and reborn.

He huddled in the sunken corner, listening to Lu Xingyan's shouts to him from above, and chose to keep his mouth shut and not answer.

Anyway, he wouldn't die soon, so he wanted to hear what Lu Xingyan and the sixth contracted beast had to say.

[Host, I just asked the headquarters if the villain died unexpectedly and could be replaced]
  [Headquarters said it can be replaced]
  【ah? Can I change it?] Lu Xingyan stopped moving rocks to rescue Le Zhengyan.

Her mood was stuck between guilt and surprise.

He feels guilty that Le Zhengyan was killed because of his mistake in making alchemy.

In the original world, she was a cold-hearted person. She lived in the world of immortality for another ten years, during which she was taken by Xiao Qingge to travel for three years. She was used to seeing life and death, and her attitude towards life was even more indifferent than before the time travel. .

But regardless of whether Le Zhengyan was a villain or not, she didn't care about Le Zhengyan's life. At least judging from Le Zhengyan's performance, she didn't hate him, even though she knew he was acting.

The surprise is that I am not bound to Le Zhengyan as the system said at the beginning. If Le Zhengyan himself dies in an accident, he can still change the task target.

Le Zhengyan, who heard this man's conversation, huddled in the corner and shivered.

Sure enough, you shouldn't expect anything from others.

Did you suffer too few sins in your previous life?

All approaches have a purpose. Once he has no use value, he will be abandoned directly.
