2046 Her Rage 4 (1/2)

”In fact, I only killed three Senior Immortals who abused me along with their majestic beings. Nothing else. They also kept forcing me to say that I was acting murderously under my master's commands, which was not the truth. I was only there to hunt. I refused to admit the accusations, so they tortured me.”

Gu Xijiu's eyes darkened. Gently, she patted its shells to comfort it. ”I understand the whole situation now. You may rest.”

The mussel thought that she was going to give it a good scolding, but she did not. Instead, she remained gentle on it. ”Master, are you not mad at me?” The mussel asked while trembling in fear.

Gu Xijiu gave it a half smile and said, ”What is there to be mad about? Should I be mad at you because of your wild, violent temper as a result of some wicked spell? Is it about the three majestic beings that came to provoke you first? Mussel, I have told you not to kill any majestic beings of level seven and above, but it does not mean that I do not allow you to kill them when you are clearly defending yourself.”

Astonished, the mussel finally realized that the whole scenario was rather strange when the killing spree happened. It could barely control its violent temper. After being greeted by the three Senior Immortals with a stream of abuse, it could no longer hold itself back.

It could not help but wonder how Gu Xijiu found out that it was poisoned and under siege.

Gu Xijiu gave it a tight smile. ”Silly, I have checked on the signs that you left behind at the place where you encountered with the three Senior Immortals.”

Experienced, she could roughly get a picture of how the fight went on based solely on the signs and traces. Also, she could tell that there was an ambush.

Every move that the three Senior Immortals aimed at the mussel was lethal. Every single strike was deadly. If the mussel had not swallowed them, it would be dead. Even without the wicked spell, the mussel would still have to give it all in the fight, without letting the enemies off lightly.

She told the mussel not to kill the innocent, not that it was not allowed to defend itself.

”Mussel, I will always return kindness tenfold, same goes for humiliation. This is my principle of life. Have you forgotten about it?”

The mussel's eyes opened widely in admiration. It repeatedly nodded in approval.

”Good. You may take a rest now. I shall take over from here and get revenge on your behalf.” Gu Xijiu reassured the mussel.
