Ling Rou had yet to realize what had happened. She walked over and asked in confusion, "Commander, what's wrong?"
Ling Rou was startled when she saw the fresh blood on Ling Jin's handkerchief. After all, she was used to seeing the green blood of the Devil Tribe. Anyone would be shocked when they saw fresh red blood.
Ling Jin tightened her grip on the handkerchief and trembled. She stared at Lu Xuan, took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "You're not a Demon Clan. You're not a Demon Clan, right?"
Upon hearing Ling Jin's question, Lu Xuan merely closed his eyes to rest and did not answer. Whether or not he answered that question would not change anything. Perhaps Ling Jin wanted to hear a negative answer from Lu Xuan, but in reality, she already knew everything in her heart.
"Say something! Say it! You're not a Demon Clan, right! "Ling Jin finally roared in anger.
"You already know the answer in your heart. Is it important whether I answer it or not?" Lu Xuan said softly. Perhaps it affected his injuries, he coughed again and fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. This time, there was no need for Lu Xuan to hide anything. He took the blood-stained handkerchief from Ling Jin and wiped it. Ah Da's punch had truly injured Lu Xuan's heart.
Ling Jin ignored Lu Xuan's actions and suppressed her anger. She gritted her teeth and nodded, "So, you've been lying to me all this time? Your identity as a Demon Clan is fake, and your identity as a Heaven Region Envoy is even more so! "
"Indeed, you're right." Lu Xuan said indifferently.
"Why!" Ling Jin roared hysterically, "Why did you lie to me! You tricked my Ling Clan into disappearing because of this, tricked my second and third uncles into dying because of this. Is this what you want?! "
Lu Xuan fell silent when he heard this. Indeed, the current situation could be said to have been caused by him. However, this was not his original intention. He only wanted to protect himself, not to destroy Ling Jin's family. However, it was useless to say anything now. What was done could not be changed.
"Why … Why did you lie to me …" Ling Jin half-squatted down and covered her face with her hands. Her voice carried a hint of a sob. This strong female Heavenly Demon Commander had finally been hit in the weakest spot in her heart. Even when she was ambushed by Xuan Jianan from all sides, she had not shown the slightest bit of fear. Yet, she could not withstand such a blow.
"It's fake, it's all fake … What Heaven Region Envoy … What Demon Emperor Ling Tian … What bringing us back to the Heaven Region, it's all fake … Sob sob, why did you lie to me …" Ling Jin's shoulders shook as she sobbed.
"Commander …" Ling Rou placed a sorrowful hand on Ling Jin's shoulder. She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing Ling Jin like this, Lu Xuan's heart softened and a trace of guilt rose in his heart. He said, "I'm sorry, Ling Jin. I really want to say sorry. Just as you thought, I am indeed a human, and a human from the Heavenly Sword Continent. However, this ending is really not what I wanted. I came to your Demon Sealed Continent out of nowhere and faced countless demons. I could only think of ways to protect myself. "
"It can be said that everything was a freak accident. I only told a lie at the beginning. I only wanted to hide my identity as a human so that I wouldn't become the target of everyone. However, a lie requires countless lies to cover it up. I could only lie step by step. I really didn't expect things to turn out like this … I'm sorry. "
Ling Jin raised her head and smiled bitterly. "Sorry? Is there any use in saying sorry? Can saying sorry help me rebuild the Ling Clan? Can it help Second Uncle and Third Uncle come back to life? Can it help me return to the Heaven Region? Can it fulfill the wish of our Ling Clan's ancestors for ten thousand years! "
Hearing Ling Jin mention returning to the Heaven Region, Lu Xuan's expression immediately turned serious. "I can't do anything about the first few, but I can do the last one!"
Hearing this, Ling Jin's tears immediately stopped. She said in a daze, "What did you say?"
"I said, I did lie a lot to you before, but I didn't lie about one thing. I can bring you back to the Heaven Region. In the entire Heavenly Sword Continent, I am the only one who can bring you back to the Heaven Region! "
Ling Jin seemed to be stunned by Lu Xuan's news. She stared fixedly at Lu Xuan's sincere face, but then the corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile. She slowly stood up and said, "Do you think I will still believe you? Do you think you haven't lied to me enough? "
Slowly walking around Lu Xuan, Ling Jin spoke again. "I know what you're thinking. You want to calm me down and preserve your life. After all, you're heavily injured and you're no match for me. Now, I can easily kill you and avenge the Ling Clan, Second Uncle and Third Uncle!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jin suddenly attacked. She curled her fingers into claws and grabbed Lu Xuan's throat. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent! With her strength, all she needed to do was grab and she would be able to cut Lu Xuan's throat in an instant.
"Commander!" Ling Rou cried out in alarm and hurriedly took two steps forward.
"Don't come any closer!" Ling Jin shouted angrily. "I'm going to kill him today!"
"But … Killing him won't help anything. What if Emissary Xia is telling the truth?" Ling Rou clenched the corner of her clothes tightly to help Lu Xuan escape. She did not know what benefits killing Lu Xuan would bring, but she knew that it was better to have one more person than one less in the current situation.
"Enough! Emissary Xia? Hmph, even his name might be fake. I won't believe anything he says anymore. I don't want to be deceived by him anymore! "Ling Jin stared into Lu Xuan's eyes and gritted her teeth. She gradually increased the strength of her grip.
"Uh uh …" A hoarse sound came from Lu Xuan's throat. He did not expect Ling Jin to hate him to this extent. She did not even believe anything he said. However, in his current state, there was no way he could resist Ling Jin. Ling Jin was an existence even stronger than Xuan Jianan, Ah Da, and Ah Er!
However, Lu Xuan really did not want to die in such a dubious manner. It was not easy for him to escape from Xuan Jianan's hands. If he died just like that, it would be too depressing. Feeling Ling Jin's strength gradually increase, Lu Xuan's breathing became more and more difficult. In a moment of desperation, he stretched out his arms and hugged Ling Jin tightly.
Lu Xuan's actions were really out of Ling Jin's expectations. In a moment of panic, she immediately loosened her grip. Instantly, Lu Xuan felt his breathing become smoother. He hurriedly freed his neck from Ling Jin's grasp and took a deep breath.
"Let go of me!" Ling Jin shouted. She immediately reached out and wanted to choke Lu Xuan again. However, how could Lu Xuan let her do as she wished? He used the last bit of strength in his body to hug Ling Jin tightly. With a flip of his body, he directly pressed her under him.
Ling Rou was shocked to see the two of them hugging each other and rolling on the ground. She was momentarily stunned.
