Traveling through time as a goblin, just wanting to live a leisurely life

"what have you done?"

Shi Ning questioned Xiao Chanchan, being unusually harsh.

To be precise, it was the first time that Xiao Chanchan was questioned so harshly.

“No…ah…”

Xiao Chanchan was a little frightened. She didn't expect that Shi Ning would kick open the door of the alchemy room and interrupt Mo Ling's alchemy.

Wasn't she afraid that Mo Ling would get a stitch in the side or go crazy because of the sudden interruption?

It didn't expect that Shi Ning would have no evidence, would not listen to any explanation, and would ask "What did you do?"

So sure, so unreasonable.

This was the first time that Shi Ning questioned Xiao Chanchan like this. The kindness that had been shown to Xiao Chanchan for more than a year suddenly changed. In Xiao Chanchan's eyes, Shi Ning looked so strange at this moment. She had never seen Shi Ning like this before.

"Mother……"

Xiao Chanchan was a little unsure about how to deal with this situation, so she decided to put on a pitiful and aggrieved face to test the waters.

But this tactic, which had always worked in the past, now has no effect.

Shi Ning glanced at Xiao Chanchan indifferently, then released his spiritual sense and searched carefully in the alchemy room.

After a while, something was found in a corner.

The corner of the wall, which was clearly empty, emitted slight spiritual power fluctuations intermittently. If the frequency of the spiritual power fluctuations was not fixed, even if Shi Ning was determined to search, he might not be able to find it.

A sword was thrust out, and the empty corner of the wall suddenly made a "swish" sound, and the concealing spell faded away, revealing a small pierced machine.

Shi Ning picked up the small machine and looked at it carefully, but he had no idea what effect these complex metal internal structures would have.

She glanced at Mo Ling, who shook his head.

So she walked up to Xiao Chanchan without thinking and asked:

"what is this?"

"do not know!"

Xiao Chanchan flatly denied it.

Shi Ning looked at it silently without saying anything.

"Mom...I really don't know..."

That aggrieved face again.

"Xiao Chanchan, do you know? The inner demon comes from the host, and the two are actually connected. So the inner demon has a huge impact on the host's state of mind, but at the same time, the host can easily sense the emotions of the inner demon."

"Your current mood tells me that you are lying."

Shi Ning said the same thing twice, and his sword intent became sharper each time. Xiao Chanchan still looked aggrieved, but her mind was already working frantically. She was thinking, how can she save this situation?

"I'm sorry! Mom, I shouldn't have lied to you. This is indeed what I bought. While you were out playing, I went to the AI ​​Heart Demon and bought this spiritual magnetic training aid. It can emit spiritual power fluctuations to improve the magnetic field and increase the efficiency of training. I just wanted to give you a surprise..."

Xiao Chanchan lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked at Shi Ning pitifully.

"Tsk! That's a pretty good story."

Mo Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm not making this up! I just wanted to give you a surprise. I also wanted to do something to prove that I really care about you. I don't want Dad to be on guard against me every day, always suspecting that I want to take over Mom's body. Dad! I just want to build a good relationship with you!"

Xiao Chanchan was a little excited.

"You speak very nicely, but this machine is designed to harm me."

But Mo Ling interrupted her coldly.

"When refining pills, there are constant fluctuations of spiritual power nearby, which will affect the alchemist's judgment of the spiritual power in the furnace. After being disturbed by this for a long time, the alchemist will subconsciously think that these fluctuations are normal fluctuations of spiritual power, and misinterpret the changes in the spiritual power in the furnace, causing the furnace to explode."

"If I hadn't noticed something from your expression and had rushed into the alchemy room decisively, Mo Ling would have gotten used to the fluctuations in spiritual power without noticing, and would have made operational errors, causing the pills to be ruined or even the furnace to explode, shattering him to pieces."

Shi Ning explained and exposed Xiao Chanchan's lies.

"How could it be...the AI ​​inner demon deceived me?"

Xiao Chanchan was shocked, as if she couldn't believe that the AI ​​Heart Demon would actually deceive her and sell her something that would kill Mo Ling.

"You're lying again."

Shi Ning could sense the demon's emotions and judged that it was still acting.

"I'm not lying! I really didn't know it was something that could harm people..."

Xiao Chanchan was still arguing, but Shi Ning fell silent, and his eyes became colder and colder, which made Xiao Chanchan feel flustered and she didn't know how to start talking.

All the affection, doting and pampering over the past year were gone in Shi Ning's eyes. All the plans and arrangements that he had spent so much time and effort on over the past year seemed to have never existed.

It was like a dream and I suddenly woke up.

Forcing this dream to come true would be just a joke.

"Alas, I lost. I failed at the last hurdle."

The host has woken up from his dream, with the sword already in front of him. Xiao Chanchan also feels Shi Ning's current state and will no longer be affected by it.

It finally accepted the reality, gave up all disguises and acting, and sat on the ground decadently.

"Why did you suddenly wake up?"

The inner demon admitted defeat, but was unwilling to give in.

It had endured more than a year of planning, and it had grasped countless details. Even when it looked at Shi Ning's doting eyes many times, it felt that its plan was as successful as art, and it could actually brainwash the host to such an extent.

Obviously, if he just spent a little more time to hone his sword-like instincts, he could possess bodies without restraint. But what was the result?

But now, because of his obscure expression, a plan was broken, a small machine was found, and then Shi Ning suddenly woke up. How could it understand this? How could it accept it?

"You shouldn't have attacked Mo Ling."

Shi Ning said.

"Mo Ling is not only my husband for hundreds of years, but also my only relative in the world. Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will keep him safe. If I really can't save him, I will commit suicide to accompany him. Since you have touched him, there is no need for him to exist anymore."

These words were spoken in an extremely cold tone, and they made Xiao Chanchan suddenly realize.

Mo Ling has always been the biggest enemy in its plan to possess another's body. This is not because he can do anything to the inner demon, but because he means a lot to Shi Ning.

But Xiao Chanchan overestimated her position in Shi Ning's heart because of her successful brainwashing. She thought she had become everything to Shi Ning and it didn't matter even if she killed Mo Ling.

It was my own mistake, there is nothing I can say.

"Can you let me go? Considering our relationship over the past year."

The inner demon gambled his last hope, hoping that what he had done over the past year would be of some use.

Shi Ning took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said:

"Go away. I'll kill you next time we meet!"
