Chapter 48: This Wave is from the Compassionate Voyage Quiet Cottage.

"You don't seem afraid?" Su Lili asked coldly.

"Hahaha, cough... What's there to be afraid of?" Wang Wanrou coughed, the intense pain in her abdomen tearing at her nerves. "It's fake, just all fake."

"But the pain is real." Su Lili's left hand gripped her neck, applying enough pressure to suffocate her. "At least in the area around me, time and space are under my control. As long as I want, you could be tortured for hundreds of years while only a blink of an eye passes outside."

Beside them, Cheng Jinyang listened with a strange expression. Although it was inappropriate, he still wanted to ask: "Are you Su Yao?"

[T/N: Yao means Demon.]

Of course, facing this personality so different from the original "Su Lili," he wasn't foolish enough to mistake her for the harmless childhood friend.

So, while she was still conversing with Wang Wanrou, he quietly locked onto all the sources of mass in the room and decisively activated his abilities.

Ground Bursting Star!

Furniture around them instantly flew from all directions towards Su Lili, like a swarm of angry wasps. However, before they could touch her, they suddenly burst into flames and charred in mid-air, leaving only a faint smell of burnt residue.

Su Lili turned back, the sinister look on her face replaced by the original gentle and lovely expression of Xiaoli. She spoke softly, "Jinyang, she wants to separate me from you, so I had to eliminate her. Please forgive me..."

Cheng Jinyang: ???

This sudden change of face too? Split personality?

"I know it's hard to believe, but... please give me some time, okay?" Su Lili said, then grabbed Wang Wanrou by the neck and disappeared with her.

Cheng Jinyang: ........

So, both my girls are gone like this?

——————

"Incineration."

"Asphyxiation."

"Charring."

"Disembowelment."

"Quartering."

"Lingchi."

"Live burial."

"We have plenty of time to slowly rotate through any death you can imagine."

"Then find your favorite."

In the confined space, Su Lili snapped her fingers, and Wang Wanrou's perfect body, which she prided herself on, was engulfed in flames once again.

Moments later, she was completely charred, turning into a burnt corpse.

Su Lili clapped her hands again, and the charred skin on Wang Wanrou's body seemed to be torn off by invisible hands, revealing the red and dull flesh underneath.

Tens of Thousands of fine needles suddenly appeared around her, then instantly pierced every inch of her flesh, continuing to inflict cruel pain and torment.

However, Wang Wanrou did not respond-not because she lost the strength to move or fell into a coma, but simply because she remained motionless.

Finally, Su Lili sensed that something was wrong and created a thick rope to bind her back together, tying her up like a bundle.

"You..." she hesitated, "blocked your senses and pain?"

"Did you think I would attack you without being prepared?" Wang Wanrou opened her eyes, revealing a mocking smirk, insulting Su Lili's intelligence.

But before she could respond, the ropes on Wang Wanrou's body suddenly fell off and turned into a venomous snake with an open mouth, darting towards Su Lili.

Before its fangs could pierce Su Lili's face, it turned into a fireball again, burning to ashes in an instant.

"Seizing control of permissions?" she blinked in confusion, then smirked, "No, just a poor imitation and replication."

"You're stubborn," Wang Wanrou said, suddenly transforming the surroundings into a pitch-black abyss, "Can you still ignite your flames here?"

"Why not?" With Su Lili's laughter, a blazing stream of light cut through the darkness, and Wang Wanrou's head fell off.

Then she resurrected once again in the old house, thinking to herself:

"It's not ordinary flames, but rather molecular disruption and heat release, similar to the abilities of the Sanchuan Zhu clan..."

"Wanrou!" Cheng Jinyang rushed over, "Are you okay?"

"In an endless dream where I can endlessly resurrect, what could happen to me?" Wang Wanrou rolled her eyes.

However, Cheng Jinyang knew that since she was still able to mock, her mood was still relatively okay. Otherwise, she would have remained silent, so he turned to look for Su Lili's whereabouts.

"Don't bother," Wang Wanrou said, "she's here."

As she spoke, Su Lili flashed between them, her face dripping with water-like gloominess.

She quickly raised her arm, and the surroundings turned into a raging fire, filled with thick black smoke, roaring flames, and drifting sparks.

However, Cheng Jinyang noticed that within a radius of one and a half meters centered on himself, there was no fire or smoke, as if protected by an invisible shield.

"You're afraid," Wang Wanrou's voice echoed around them, "Afraid I'll tell him the truth?"

Another violent explosion followed, and then came the sound of something collapsing nearby, as if a bedroom wall had collapsed.

"Jinyang," Wang Wanrou flashed beside him, whispering, "The Su Lili you've been living with day and night is just a personality fragment of the demon who killed her in the past."

"The demon can absorb the memories and emotions of the deceased to complete her own fractured mind. Conversely, the downside is that she is easily influenced by the memories of the deceased."

"Therefore, she must shatter the remaining part of Su Lili's mind, or else she will struggle to maintain her cognitive existence, being dominated by Su Lili's memories. And you, are the most important existence in Su Lili's memory, the key for her to remove this part of her personality."

"So she created a false Su Lili and regularly appears in your dreams. As long as she can deceive you into leaving Jiankang City and then kill you herself, she can stimulate the collapse of the Su Lili personality within her, thereby consolidating her own existence."

"Do you understand? You're not her lover in her dreams, just a piece of her puzzle for purification! A tool!"

Wang Wanrou's words were cold and ruthless, resounding, while Su Lili emerged from the sea of flames, her expression completely gone.

"Is that so?" Cheng Jinyang stared at her, his voice slightly trembling, "Xiao Li?"

Su Lili's expression softened slightly.

"Yes," she said, "Su Lili, the one I killed with my own hands, is also a part of my personality."

..........

In an instant, Cheng Jinyang felt something in his heart shatter.

Ah, suddenly there was a feeling of not wanting to live anymore.

"But I don't want to kill you," Su Lili said, struggling, "I just... just..."

She struggled in silence for a while before saying:

"You humans are about to have a civil war soon. Regardless of who wins or loses, the survivors will be powerless to resist the invasion of the northern demons. If you stay in Jiankang City, you will surely die, just a matter of sooner or later."

"If you can come to me, I will protect you... I have several human territories under my command, you can..."

"Help you purify yourself?" Cheng Jinyang asked in a low voice.

Su Lili's expression instantly turned desperate.
