I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1220: Do I Need a Reason to Kill You?

Not only you, but including Zhao’er, all six girls are standing behind you.

At this moment, the world you’re in is still only black and white. However, what’s different from before is that this time the sky is white, and the ground is black.

You slowly walk up to Li Zichen and stretch out your right hand to him, smiling and saying, "Cousin, you didn’t get stared to death by me, now go ahead and give your acceptance speech for the award."

Li Zichen is frowning deeply, glaring at you without saying a word.

"You may still be wondering why I didn’t finish you off. Actually, as soon as I activated the Death Gate, the outcome of our duel was already destined." You retract your hand, squat down beside Li Zichen very frankly, with a smile on your face, "Many say that whoever the Sen Luo Eye’s Death Gate stares at gets pregnant, but how many have actually been stared at? Who says that one will definitely die when stared at by the Death Gate?"

"What are you trying to say? Not satisfied with killing me, you want to humiliate me to death?"

Li Zichen is clearly angry.

"Cousin, don’t get angry, why don’t you have any sense of humor? Life is so beautiful, but you’re so irritable, that’s not good," you slowly say, "The first realm of the Death Gate, Absolute Silence, is a world where black and white are reversed, it can kill people, but it can also save people."

"Why would you save me?"

Only then does Li Zichen understand that his soul hasn’t dissipated; it was you who intervened.

You smile and say, "Before you ask me that question, can you answer one of mine?"

Li Zichen doesn’t speak.

You continue, "My question is very simple: why do you want to kill me?"

Li Zichen snorts coldly: "Do I need a reason to kill you?"

"Of course, you do! Even going to the store for a bottle of soy sauce, if I buy an extra pack of donuts, my mom will ask me why for a full minute, so why wouldn’t you need a reason to kill me?"

"Hmph!"

Li Zichen simply stops talking.

"What, you can’t bother to make up a reason?" You look at him with a smile, "Since you won’t say it, let me say it for you."

"Actually, from the beginning to now, you had at least dozens of chances to grind me into dust, but you didn’t do it. You painstakingly designed the whole set, plotted the story, but it wasn’t to kill me, it seems like you were training me... Uh, though I’m also surprised, it seems to be the case. Besides, I’ve always been puzzled about how exactly you obtained the Power of Reincarnation."

Just as Li Zichen is about to speak, you quickly interject: "Don’t freaking tell me it was by chance and then absorbing it with the Myriad Manifestation Eye. I can responsibly tell you that with your abilities, it’s simply impossible for you to absorb the Power of Reincarnation! So, there must be someone helping you from behind, and this person, at the very least, must possess a Pupil Skill surpassing the Myriad Manifestation Eye!"

At this moment, Li Zichen falls silent.

You keep speaking: "In my memory, there are only four people who can reach that level of strength. One is my old man, one is Mother En, and the other two are a couple, my senior brother and his wife."

Li Zichen still doesn’t speak, but he clenches his fists tightly!

You stare straight at Li Zichen: "I have individually investigated these four people and ultimately reached a conclusion. The person behind all these incidents, pushing them to unfold, is probably Mother En, who has watched me grow up since I was a child."

Li Zichen finally raises his head, glaring at you with an icy gaze: "Yes, indeed! Are you now trying to show off your uniqueness and irreplaceability to me?"

"I’ve made it very clear just now, I have no grudges against you, no reason to fight you to the death!" Saying that, you grab Li Zichen’s collar and yank him up fiercely, "But in this Reincarnation World, you are trying to provoke me by all means, aiming to make me constantly stronger. To achieve this goal, you’d even have me kill the ones I love with my own hands!"

"Hmph, so what? That’s fate!"

The look in Li Zichen’s eyes is filled with coldness, like a late-stage cancer patient who is indifferent to life and death, as if death to him is a form of release.

"You say it’s fate, you fucking tell me, what exactly is fate!"

You glare hard at Li Zichen: "You know what? If I wanted to kill you, you’d be long dead! But I’ve been hesitating to move, uncertain like a damn woman, and that’s because you’re my fucking cousin!"

"Cousin?" Li Zichen scoffs coldly, "For some people, I’m just a tool, a tool to push you onto the path of the strong!"

You are stunned, suddenly unable to grasp the meaning behind Li Zichen’s words.

And Li Zichen knows too well that since things have come this far, there’s no need to keep hiding anything.

He simply sits on the ground, looking at you with an icy gaze: "Yes, as you just said, the Power of Reincarnation was indeed forcefully implanted into my soul by your grandmother, and I have also received the top-secret command from the Clan Elder Council, to ensure you grow stronger at all costs! At the very least able to freely Activate the first realm of Death Gate. Look, haven’t you achieved it now? Seems like it worked rather well, hmm."

"Worked well my ass!" you barely restrain the impulse to attack Li Zichen and retort angrily, "Didn’t you ever fucking consider, what if I accidentally killed you?"

Li Zichen pauses for a moment, slowly shifting his gaze, and says emotionlessly: "Then so what? Didn’t you hear clearly? At all costs. From the beginning to the end, I’m just a tool, and do you think I, having the Power of Reincarnation forcefully implanted, have any hope of surviving? My physical body has shattered, and my soul mangled by the Power of Reincarnation, now my only avenue of release is death."

Li Zichen’s words strike you like a heavy punch to the chest.

You gaze steadily at him: "I don’t understand, really don’t get it, aren’t you the once-in-a-century genius of the Li Family from Chang’an? Why would they do this to you?"

"Why?"

Li Zichen’s voice suddenly rises: "What does a family rely on to flourish for a thousand years? Harmony brings wealth? A harmonious family leads to successful enterprises? Bullshit! The reason big families can prosper is that they are ruthless enough, decisive enough, willing to sacrifice everything for the family’s interests!"

You are stunned, never having expected such melodramatic plots only seen in TV soap operas to unfold right before your eyes.

"Then why is it you? Shouldn’t you be the future star of the Li family?"

"That’s because... your grandmother, my grandaunt, she set the three great secret techniques of the Myriad Manifestation Eye as a condition and personally nurtured three ’super geniuses’ just like me! Three, three of them!!!"

In the end, Li Zichen roars out his words!

Hysterical!
