Chapter 1262: Another Individual

“Master, I finally wake up! Why are you being so cold to me?”

Ling Meng thought about slowly approaching Lin Nuo, but he deliberately stepped back to avoid her.

“Master, you’re making me really sad. Can’t you bear to see me sad?”

“Then go ahead and be sad.”

Lin Nuo showed no mercy; he could tell right away that this wasn’t the original Ling Meng.

Perhaps the body was hers, but not the soul.

Such things could happen, after all. Ling Meng also possessed a violent burst ability, and her savage nature post-explosion could be considered a kind of personality.

And whether this personality had wisdom—who could say?

“Master, your heart is really ruthless. Here I am being loyal to you.”

“Enough with the act.”

Lin Nuo didn’t want to chat any longer and immediately used a Demon Array to bind Ling Meng.

She didn’t resist, truly surrendering and getting captured by Lin Nuo.

Sensing something was off, he didn’t approach her, keeping his distance. However, bound by the Demon Array, Ling Meng was unable to act. If she wanted to really fight back, this array would not go easy on her.

“What am I acting for? Master, what do you mean? Why treat me like this?”

“You’re not Ling Meng. From your initial reaction to me, your behavior and tone, you seem to be deliberately imitating her, but that imitation falls short. Reflect on it—can you really deceive anyone? Did you hypnotize yourself?”

Lin Nuo said flatly, not harming this fake Ling Meng. If it was her body, that would indeed be a harm.

“Does it matter? I am Ling Meng. I’m just in a bad state after waking up from my coma.”

“In one case it’s bad, in two cases it’s still bad, but in three, you have too many discrepancies to claim it’s just bad. Of course, I don’t want to hurt you, so you might as well come clean.”

“If I insist on this, will you kill me?”

“You’ve directly brought up life and death, which proves you’re not her. She would never say such things.”

“Just answer me—will you kill me?”

Ling Meng suddenly became serious, as if this answer was immensely important to her.

“Is it that important?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Very important.”

“Then will you harm me?”

“I won’t.”

“You say you won’t, then I won’t either. On the contrary, I will. I won’t leave someone who is a threat to me.”

Lin Nuo cleverly responded to Ling Meng. You’re not kind, so I won’t be righteous. Nothing more to discuss. You want to harm me? Am I supposed to put up with that?

“Alright, I definitely won’t harm you. I only want to interact with you like this. Of course, you seemingly don’t trust me. Understandable, my appearance was too abrupt.”

“Then introduce yourself.”

Lin Nuo said, hoping to resolve this peacefully. In such a tense time, causing an internal conflict wouldn’t be good.

“I am Ling Meng. I’m not lying to you; I’m also your disciple. I’m just her latent personality, the violent one—you should have guessed that by now.”

“Oh, I see.”

Lin Nuo nodded. With that explanation, it clicked.

It was certainly the result of that demonic sound.

“So, it’s from that demonic sound? You’ve always been here because it manifested from that sound.”

“Always been here.”

Ling Meng nodded in response.

“I’ve just been playing the role of a brutal character. Without that, we wouldn’t be able to unleash our potential power, and both she and I would die.”

“So it’s the personality that surfaces after bursting into violence? Do you still have awareness?”

“I do. Didn’t you see? I didn’t harm you.”

Ling Meng said. It’s true that when she unleashed her violent state last time, she hadn’t harmed him.

Of course, had she fought him, with a single move he could have knocked her out flat.

But recalling the first time he witnessed Ling Meng burst forth, she really hadn’t harmed him then either.

Just her smile was a bit creepy, like she found a fun toy and wanted to play with it.

Back then, it hadn’t been so easy to subdue her.

“That demonic sound intended to awaken me for slaughter. Of course, without you here, I might have gone after those two women.”

“You hate them? What’s the grudge?”

“Of course, I dislike you having other women around.”

“You have feelings for me?”

“Yes, I fell for you at first sight.”

“Stop joking. Those kinds of lies are hard to believe, and either you’ve been influenced by Ling Meng’s feelings to feel a bit too. Logically speaking, you’re a personality of slaughter; you shouldn’t have feelings.”

Lin Nuo analyzed. You’re a killing personality; talking about feelings is a stretch. Plus, Ling Meng herself never even showed me such feelings.

“Logically, that shouldn’t happen, but you are special. You have the aura of a Demon Emperor. Though at that time you hadn’t gone dark, I feel there will come a day when you become the revered Demon Emperor. It’s proven true.”

“Seems like no demons revere me at all.”

“If you build your kingdom, they will naturally come. Only you’ve never done what a Demon Emperor should do.”

“Stop talking.”

Lin Nuo interrupted her. Did she think he wanted to spend every day acting like a knight?

If he could, wouldn’t he have restored the terrifying grandeur of the Demon Sovereign long ago?

“Don’t you believe my feelings? I liked you earlier than her, yet I’ve only been in the shadows while she gets to be loving with you. Now that I can finally communicate with you normally, I hope to receive your affection.”

Ling Meng said seriously, sounding somewhat sincere, but Lin Nuo wouldn’t fully trust her.

Keeping a few wits about him, after all, he wasn’t too familiar with this person.

“What about the original Ling Meng? What will happen to her? Is she going to be sealed?”

“Just temporarily. She will soon return to normal. That’s why I’m hoping our time together isn’t one shrouded in your suspicion.”

Ling Meng said, showing no signs of resistance towards Lin Nuo and remaining calm, perhaps more mature than the original Ling Meng.

At that moment, Qin Shili noticed something was off and rushed over.

“Lin Nuo, what’s going on here? What happened to her?”

“This doesn’t concern you. Can you leave?”

Seeing Qin Shili approach, Ling Meng’s face darkened, showing her displeasure and directly shooing Qin Shili away.

Qin Shili, upon hearing this, immediately sensed the discrepancy. Clearly, it wasn’t Ling Meng’s usual tone.

“She’s not the real one; I can tell just from her voice.”

“Get out! This is between me and Master. Who gave you the right to butt in?”

Ling Meng grew angrier, feeling an urge to confront Qin Shili, but unfortunately, she was still bound by Lin Nuo.

“Don’t do anything reckless, Ling Meng. Qin Shili, please step outside for now.”

Concerned Ling Meng might cause trouble, Lin Nuo decided it was best to have Qin Shili leave for the moment.
