The inner demon gently stroked Xu An'an's face and said, "It's not that you haven't considered why Xu Yulong approached you, but you're just afraid to admit it."

"Xu Yulong has been invincible all these years, relying on you. You are his greatest asset, but you are also his biggest burden."

"In your heart, you've never really felt secure with Xu Yulong. You enjoy his care, but you're also afraid of losing this false affection."

"You don't allow anyone to get close to Xu Yulong, or they will surely die."

"Xu Yulong understands this too. He needs you, but he also needs a more stable position. All you can bring him is victory over his opponents. What he wants is greater profit."

"Xu Yulong is getting married!"

"Everyone in the Xu family knows, except you."

"But this news can't be kept from you. Your senses are far beyond ordinary people; even if they speak through a wall, they can't escape your ears."

"You've also thought about fulfilling Xu Yulong's wishes. After all, you and Xu Yulong are cousins, and you can't always be together."

"Xu Yulong has also thought about keeping you, because he can't bear to lose your abilities."

"But you're both afraid. You're afraid that Xu Yulong will gradually distance himself from you, and Xu Yulong is afraid that one day your jealousy will suddenly flare up and put those who are crucial to him to death."

"So, you've always been in conflict."

The inner demon's tone gradually turned cold: "When Xu Yulong was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, which was to make a wish at the Iron Tile Temple."

"Xu Yulong tricked you into coming to Taiqu Mountain to sacrifice you to the ghosts and gods, and then take your abilities."

"You know very well what Xu Yulong is thinking, so you've been struggling desperately."

"You told your friends about Xu Yulong taking you to Taiqu Mountain to make Xu Yulong consider his reputation and abandon the plan. But Xu Yulong probably intends to keep you all in Taiqu Mountain!"

"We won't talk about you provoking Feng Ruoxing. You repeatedly begged Li Po to take action in order to get him to deal with the ghosts and gods of Taiqu Mountain. With the ghosts and gods gone, everything will be over."

"It's a pity! Li Po has long planned to stand by! He won't help."

Xu An'an's eyes were bloodshot as she growled, "I don't believe a word you say."

The inner demon laughed and said, "If you didn't believe it, I wouldn't exist!"

"I am your inner demon! I am you, and you are me!"

"In the past, you kept deceiving yourself, and I was suppressed in your body, unable to come out."

"Now, Li Po has opened a gap in your heart, I've come out, and it's time for you to face reality."

"Think about it carefully!"

"It's not pathetic to be deceived, but it is pathetic to stubbornly cling to illusions even when you know you're being deceived."

The inner demon slowly stood up, turned to look at me, and said, "You know about her situation. You need to be careful. Maybe she will hate you too."

"At that time, you may die without a burial place."

I said in a deep voice, "You came to see me, I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"

The inner demon covered her mouth and laughed: "It's a pleasure to talk to smart people! How about we make a deal?"

"I want her to become a demon!"

"But, I also need someone to make her see the truth."

"You help me, and I'll help you!"

I said lightly, "You are her inner demon, can't you control her?"

The inner demon shook her head: "An inner demon can grow, can hide, can devour the original host. But it can also be suppressed by the original host's will."

"Her obsession is too strong. This time, if it weren't for you opening a gap in her heart, I wouldn't have been able to come out."

"She is still making a final struggle. Once she suppresses me, and she is sacrificed by Xu Yulong, both she and I will die. I can only ask you for help."

I frowned slightly and said, "There is no free lunch in this world."

The inner demon nodded and said, "Of course, I understand this principle. What do you want? Money?"

I said bluntly, "I want you to help me kill someone!"

"No problem!" The inner demon agreed readily: "Except for Xu Yulong, you can kill anyone you want!"

"Xu Yulong is the original host's obsession. If I kill him, I will definitely be blocked by the original host, so! I can't kill Xu Yulong."

I said in a deep voice: "I haven't decided who to kill yet. I'll tell you when I think of it. I hope you can keep your promise."

The inner demon smiled: "Don't think that just because my name has the word 'demon' in it means I won't keep my word. Sometimes, demons are more reliable than the righteous."

I nodded slightly and said, "If I kill Xu Yulong, can you guarantee that the original host won't kill me?"

The inner demon was slightly taken aback: "Why do you want to kill Xu Yulong?"

I asked back: "Are you only satisfied with the Xu family? If that's the case, I can only say that your vision is too small."

"You have an invincible fate, don't you want a wider world?"

"If Xu Yulong doesn't die, you can only stay in the Xu family."

"If Xu Yulong dies, you will have a bigger stage."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The inner demon fell silent for a moment.

She was considering my words!

I was also making a gamble.
