Just as Shen Binglan hesitated, she noticed Chen Xuan looking at her with a strange expression, as if he were trying to signal something.
"Quickly... stab me..." Chen Xuan, struggling under the agony of demonic corruption, managed to force out these words.
Shen Binglan was stunned. Could it be that Chen Xuan knew he couldn't resist the corruption and had chosen to give up? The more he acted this way, the less she could bring herself to strike. This young man, who seemed to be about her own age, would rather face death than succumb to the demonic path. A person’s true nature often reveals itself in their final moments; this meant Chen Xuan was resisting the demonic urge from the heart—he truly was not a practitioner of the demonic arts! Unless, as Wu Mengyao claimed, he was so cunning and deceitful that he would continue to lie even at the point of death.
