Chu Mo had no clue how the witch had determined his identity. But he clearly could not admit it, as the issue was of monumental importance! To be honest, if he hadn't worried whether the witch had any tricks up her sleeve, Chu Mo would have wanted to execute her on the spot!
Talking about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and sincerity in such a situation is utter nonsense. Once his identity is exposed now, the suffer from this won't just be him alone. The entire Yanhuang domain and all the people connected with him would all face retribution.
Zhenzhen looked at Chu Mo with a smile, "I truly didn't prepare any fallbacks, I came with sincerity. If you were to kill me now, then probably nobody in the entire Trial Field would know your identity anymore."
Chu Mo spoke indifferently, "Miss, you really have the wrong person. I truly don't understand what you're talking about. Are you here to challenge me? If so, please make your move; if not, then please leave."
"Hehe, I definitely don't dare to challenge you. Even when you were in the Quasi-Supreme realm, I was no match for you. Now that you have achieved the Supreme Realm, I stand even less of a chance. How would I dare fight you? Alright, I know you don't trust me, but for some reason, I really trust you. Perhaps, you are the only person in the entire Trial Field that I can trust. Isn't that ironic?" Zhenzhen giggled self-mockingly, then without waiting for Chu Mo's response, she continued directly, "I can't stay here too long, the excuse I used for suddenly disappearing was that I was going to challenge a cultivator on a certain list. Later, I will find my way back and then tell them that I didn't win."
Zhenzhen shrugged, "For me, this opportunity is too important. It doesn't matter if you do not acknowledge it, I'll say, and you listen."
"…" Chu Mo was speechless, wondering what exactly the witch was scheming.
Zhenzhen said, "Firstly, let me talk about my own situation, and why I want to cooperate with you."
"I originally come from an aristocratic family within the Demon Clan, with ancient Demon Clan noble blood flowing in my veins. But because my family has long been in decline, our clan in the Demon Clan has just been scraping by on the remnants of our ancestors' legacy. Until my birth was prophesied to shake the entire Demon Clan. The Archdemon personally came to my family, took me away, and raised me as his daughter. Hence, for many years, I was truly grateful to the Archdemon and regarded him as a father. Only to later discover, while I considered him a father, he harbored... other intentions towards me," Zhenzhen spoke and looked fierce.
Chu Mo was left speechless, his head filled with black lines, he listened quietly. By listening to this, he already knew that this witch was not actually on the same page as the Archdemon. But for now, he just tentatively listened. It was not possible for Chu Mo to believe Zhenzhen's words immediately.
"After knowing his thoughts, I showed no irregularities; all my actions remained as usual. Because this demon... how should I say it, is very selfish, quite cruel, even more domineering. Once he knew my thoughts, what I faced would surely be a violent storm of assault, even destruction, so I dared not, and could only pretend to know nothing. I continued to be so affectionate towards him." Zhenzhen sighed, "So he always somewhat trusted me, and poured a lot of resources into cultivating me. That's why still to this day, I don't hate him, even though he harbored those thoughts towards me. I can honestly tell you this."
Chu Mo laughed upon hearing this, "What does this have to do with me?"
Zhenzhen ignored him and continued, "Actually, these kinds of situations are quite normal in the Demon Clan, I don't know how it is within the Human Clan, but from what I've encountered in the texts of the Human Clan, such situations also occur. But I couldn't accept it, I truly saw him as an elder. Moreover, I do not like the opposite sex."
"…" Chu Mo raised his eyebrows, thinking: How fierce!
Zhenzhen continued, "Previously when the Demon Clan was defeated, The Archdemon reported your information to the Imperial Clan of Luotian, including several top-quality dharma instruments on you, he shared everything he knew. It indeed worked. The Imperial Clan of Luotian did not penalize the Archdemon, but instead gave him an unexpected reward." Zhenzhen lifted her head, looking at Chu Mo, "That's right, an entry to this Trial Field!"
"Upon knowing what the Trial Field was, the Archdemon's children immediately went mad, frantically competing for this place. For the Demon Clan, the Trial Field is simply paradise on this earth! Cruel? Bloody? Terrifying? Haha…" Zhenzhen revealed a sarcastic smile, "Compared to the Demon Clan, what are those counts? At that time, I never thought this spot would fall to me. Because I never thought the Archdemon would feel safe letting me out. But, I don't know what he was thinking, perhaps, he got annoyed by his children. In any case, eventually, this spot was given to me."
"So you are from the Demon Clan, I have heard about it," Chu Mo talked nonsense very seriously.
Zhenzhen glared at him, concluding, "After coming here, I realized that the Archdemon dared to let me enter because he had his reasons. Alone, I have no way of surviving here. Hence, to survive, to elevate myself, I could only make contact with people from the Imperial Clan of Luotian. This way, every move of mine, almost falls under the control of the Archdemon. Of course, I guess the Archdemon might also have thought about what if I caught the eyes of the Imperial Clan's members, I quickly sensed it from their attitudes. If I truly caught their interest, the Archdemon would definitely go mad with excitement! He would tell others that I am his adopted daughter. By then, he would be a father-in-law to the children of the Imperial Clan of Luotian! Haha... With this relationship, it'd be easy for him to enter the Immortal Domain of Luotian in the future, don't you think?"
Chu Mo grimaced, thinking: The scions of the Imperial Clan of Luotian, marrying you, a witch?
Zhenzhen didn't even look at Chu Mo's expression; she just knew what he was thinking and said, "The descendants of the Luotian Imperial Clan would certainly not marry me, right? You think the same, don't you? But what does it matter? Even if it's a dew-like marriage union, couldn't the great demon king also become an inexpensive father-in-law?"
"..." Chu Mo was speechless because in fact... it should indeed be so.
"But I am not reconciled; I am not a commodity to be traded. I am a person, a living person," Zhenzhen's eyes showed a strange gleam, "To be precise, I want to become a person! A real person!"
"Yawn..." Chu Mo yawned widely, then covered his mouth with his hand, looking tiredly at Zhenzhen, "Miss, your story is good, very motivational and idealistic. Are you done? If so, you can leave."
"Chu Mo!" Zhenzhen's eyebrows inverted in anger, "You're a grown man, is it necessary to beat around the bush like this? I won't threaten you with your identity, but do you really have no interest at all in cooperating with me?"
"I've already said, I'm not the person you speak of. My name is Lin Hei," Chu Mo said with drooping eyelids.
"You are Lin Bai too!" Zhenzhen retorted angrily.
Chu Mo thought to himself: You're right, I indeed am Lin Bai.
Zhenzhen calmed down her emotions and softly said, "Chu Mo, though I don't know all the reasons why the Luotian Imperial Clan wants to kill you, I do know a little—it's because of your bloodline, right? Indeed, any Imperial Clan takes the bloodline of their direct descendants very seriously. I can understand your reluctance to reveal your identity. I won't force you. Today, I only came to see you for one reason. I can let go of all the hatred I had against you before, and see you once a year by taking on challenges. Then, I'll give you the secrets of the Luotian Imperial Clan for free. In return, someday in the future when I am in trouble, could you lend me a hand? That's all I ask."
Chu Mo sighed, "Your request is reasonable, but I truly am not the person you speak of. I don't know why you are so convinced that person is me. However, it doesn't matter, you mentioned lending a hand during your hardships… if I have the capability. I can agree to that."
Zhenzhen clearly didn't care about Chu Mo's denial of his identity; she only heard his last sentence, her eyes suddenly lighting up, "So, I'll take that as your agreement! Lin Hei, right, I hope you can grow stronger quickly! This time, I can give you a piece of information for free; it's about your mother."
No matter how much Chu Mo denied his identity, hearing information about his own mother, his heart couldn't help but ache slightly.
But he masked it very well, not showing even a trace of unusual emotion.
Zhenzhen also admired Chu Mo's calm demeanor. Speaking of which, she even started to doubt if she had really mistaken the person. However, in the end, she still firmly believed that her instincts were correct. Wouldn't anyone have an unmistakably deep impression of the person who decapitated them?
"That person from the Luotian Imperial Clan with me, named Ji Xuefeng, is a collateral of the royal family, but he is very talented, so he has a modest position within the clan. He knows my identity and that there's enmity between you and me. So he once boasted proudly before me, telling me you don't need to hate that much, that person's... that person's mother has been imprisoned all these years, living a hard life. And that… person, he would eventually be crushed into nothingness by the powerful members of the Imperial Clan." Zhenzhen sighed lightly, "I feel very regretful about this affair."
Chu Mo really wanted to ask, when that Ji Xuefeng spoke about me, didn't he say that mongrel, instead of that person? Doesn't Prince Ji always utter terms like mongrel, bastards?"
But he held back, looking at Zhenzhen, "Your news might be very useful to that Chu Mo, but it's meaningless to me. Please go back, miss."
Zhenzhen giggled, "Alright, I'm leaving! Chu Mo, you know? You are not cold-hearted at all! If you're really not Chu Mo, you should have killed me. That way, you would truly not care."
Chu Mo's pupils shrank slightly, thinking: This damn girl!
