Xue Yansi clutched half of his face in a death grip.
His complexion was already cold and pale, and now it was even paler to a terrifying degree. Blue veins bulged on his forehead and neck, and that cool, handsome face actually twisted into a few degrees of ferocity, as if he were enduring immense pain.
Yet the other half of his face was lifted in a wild, almost deranged laugh of unrestrained delight.
"Xue Yansi, you didn’t expect this, did you? I’m still alive!"
This tone was clearly Xue Jianghan’s!
Shen Tang’s pupils trembled, a shock pounding through her chest.
The System was stunned as well, [Host, something’s wrong! Xue Jianghan actually isn’t completely dead, he left himself a backup!]
[Too terrifying, this man is vicious as hell! I don’t know what method he used, but even after being devoured he still left a wisp of consciousness that didn’t disperse. He’s now desperately fighting Xue Yansi for control of the body!]
Shen Tang, of course, saw it too.
This Xue Jianghan didn’t even want his own fleshly body anymore; clearly he was planning to burn the boats and, in turn, devour Xue Yansi!
Her face grew indescribably ugly. "Xue Jianghan probably knew long ago he wasn’t a match for Xue Yansi... And a fully formed Bone of Devouring is very hard to extract intact, so he left himself a fallback, deliberately let Xue Yansi devour him, and instead could take the opportunity to invade the other’s body and seize it."
She clenched her fists, gritting out, "To obtain the Bone of Devouring, he’d go this far—too despicable!"
The System couldn’t help complaining, [These two brothers are both total yandere freaks! I already thought your Snake Husband’s mental state was worrying, but I didn’t expect his brother to be no better. When he gets ruthless, he even kills himself! Tsk, the Ghost Snake Clan aren’t just cold-blooded to outsiders, they’re ruthless to themselves too!]
The System felt the entire Ghost Snake Clan was a bunch of cold, gloomy, yandere types, all of them more or less abnormal.
These two brothers were especially outstanding examples!
The struggle between these two snakes was downright thrilling!
The aura around Xue Yansi grew more and more chaotic and dangerous, and his expression shifted constantly, as if he were suffering from split personality.
His voice was icy to the extreme as he snarled low, "Get out!"
Xue Jianghan only laughed wildly, "Do you know how long I’ve planned for this moment? You’ll never shake me off! Hand the body over like a good boy; the Bone of Devouring is destined to be mine!"
Whether by luck or some other means, after his body was devoured, Xue Jianghan had actually left behind a wisp of Divine Soul.
In theory, with Xue Yansi’s strength, wiping out this remnant soul shouldn’t have been difficult, but judging from the current situation... something was clearly wrong.
Blue veins bulged all over Xue Yansi’s body, and it was as if something was writhing under his skin along his blood, making him look all the more terrifying.
His face grew more twisted and agonized, his body staggering unsteadily until he fell heavily to the ground.
"Xue Yansi!"
Shen Tang immediately rushed over, trying to help him up.
But Xue Yansi pushed her away with one hand, brows tightly knitted, voice strained with pain, "Stay away from me, I..."
Before he could finish, his expression suddenly changed.
When he raised his eyes again, he was staring straight at Shen Tang like a venomous snake finding its prey, his voice cold and arrogant, "I really didn’t expect you’d have such a beauty hidden outside... She’s indeed much prettier than my fiancée!"
"Don’t worry, once I completely devour you, I’ll take good care of them for you."
Shen Tang was so shocked she stumbled back several steps, goosebumps breaking out all over her, her face as ugly as if she’d just swallowed a fly.
Damn it, this dog actually dared lay a finger on her in his thoughts?
Even a thousand cuts wouldn’t be enough!
But this also showed the situation was worse than she’d thought; that remnant soul of Xue Jianghan’s could actually control Xue Yansi’s body now.
If this went on, he might really succeed in seizing the body.
"Get out, I’ll kill you!" Xue Yansi’s expression shifted again as he roared back in fury.
Even he felt that he must look like a monster right now; if it were anyone else, they’d have already fled in terror.
But in Shen Tang’s eyes there was no fear, only worry, and a deep disgust toward that body snatcher.
