Chapter 915: White Panning is something I have to pay a price for (5)
Yaoyao, didn’t you say you were hungry? What are you waiting for?
Yaoyao was overjoyed and rushed over impatiently. That was a Pro-Demon level zombie. If she could suck even a little, she would probably ascend on the spot.
Hou Biao wanted to stop her, but ultimately didn’t have the courage and could only weakly put down the remains of Xiaojia’s mother.
Yaoyao’s little mouth was dribbling with clear saliva, and she impatiently wanted to get to the neck of the remains, then began to absorb blood continuously, while also reading the owner’s memories.
Xiaojia let out a long sigh of relief and then waited patiently by the side.
As for Hou Biao, he was a bit flustered and could only look towards Wu Zheng’s direction with a pleading gaze.
Strange, why did the National Preceptor suddenly become serious? It’s not worth offending the Demon Lord Wu for such a little zombie with no background?
For the little zombie? She was doing it for her own pride. This little zombie was an object of her attention. If she let the Demon Lord Wu’s people take away the remains like this, what about her dignity?
So that means the Demon Lord Wu can only give up?
Not necessarily. If I were the Demon Lord Wu, the most important thing now would be to show some sincerity and give both sides a way to back down.
What do you mean?
To put it bluntly, the money was not enough. If enough money is given, anything can be discussed.
The evil spirits watching were suddenly energized.
Meanwhile, the Demon Lord Wu outside the scene had a grim expression. He never dreamed that Qi Huang would be so uncooperative.
Brother Wu, aren’t you going to do something? If he exposes it, your reputation will be at stake, won’t it?
Fei Weng incited again from the side.
Reputation is a small matter. If she pursues the previous batches of remains, we will also be implicated.
Gu Tao frowned.
Brother Wu, go and talk to her properly, just give her some benefits to shut her up, this way everyone will…
Ding Long offered a plan.
Benefits? I came today to get something from her for free, how can I give her benefits?
Wu Zheng stood up from his chair with a cold expression and flew towards the center of the field.
At this moment, Yaoyao was still prostrate on the remains, sucking blood. She looked so engrossed, as if she were a baby who hadn’t eaten for days and was finally getting milk. However, her growth speed was not comparable to a baby’s. In the blink of an eye, she advanced from the mid-Demon realm to the late-Demon realm.
I asked you to find the truth, not to dine. Stop now.
Qi Huang quickly flew over to stop her.
Then… gulp… then we have to find useful… gulp… useful memories, right.
Yaoyao answered vaguely, taking a break.
It’s okay. As long as she can confirm my mother’s identity, it doesn’t matter how much she absorbs.
Xiaojia said sincerely from the side. It seemed he really just wanted to retrieve his mother’s remains.
Just then, Qi Huang noticed Wu Zheng flying towards her.
Finally impatient?
Qi Huang’s lips curved slightly, then she feigned innocence and asked, “Who are you?”
Greetings, National Preceptor. I am Wu Zheng, the Demon Lord of Chongwu Star.
Wu Zheng cupped his fists symbolically.
Demon Lord Wu? May I ask your business?
Qi Huang asked leisurely.
National Preceptor, the zombies below who came to identify relatives are my subordinates.
Wu Zheng briefly introduced them.
So?
Qi Huang frowned impatiently.
So…
Wu Zheng suddenly took out a soundproofing talisman, crushed it, and leaned over to whisper.
Qi Huang listened carefully but found that the other party said nothing. A look of confusion appeared on her face, and she asked:
Who are you?
What did you say? This light novel
What I say is not important, what is important is that this way we both have a way to step down. Let my subordinates take away this batch of remains.
Wu Zheng said imperiously.
Qi Huang became even more confused. She looked around and saw a worried expression on Xiaojia’s face, and the evil spirits around were also discussing amongst themselves.
What did Wu Zheng say?
Nonsense, he must have been persuading the National Preceptor of the Queen of the Underworld Star not to investigate further. Any fool can see that his subordinates are falsely claiming kinship. Once exposed, neither of them can back down.
Persuading? Do you think the National Preceptor of the Queen of the Underworld Star would listen to him?
Not with empty words, of course. But what if he offered some benefits?
You didn’t hear anything, so why are you saying that? I could also say he’s threatening you.
A ghost of Earth Demon level threatening a ghost of Heaven Demon level? Hehe, do you dare to threaten your father?
Of course not, because my father doesn’t have any leverage over me. As for whether the National Preceptor has any leverage over the Demon Lord Wu, I don’t know.
For example?
For example, the Demon Lord Wu arranged for an insider to be by her side, who could inform the Immortal Alliance of the Queen of the Underworld Star’s coordinates at any time. How could she dare to disobey?
That makes sense.
The evil spirits speculated one after another.
Hearing these discussions, Qi Huang completely changed her mind. This guy in front of her wanted to create the illusion of secretly bribing herself. This way, not only could his subordinates take away the remains of Xiaojia’s mother, but both of them could save face.
But the problem is, where’s the bribe? Without seeing anything concrete, how can the ghost tribes outside think anything else? Perhaps they would even think that I was caught by him and succumbed.
Qi Huang laughed in anger. She didn’t expect this guy to still be thinking of white-panning her at this point. He truly deserved to die.
Qi Huang broke the soundproofing shield with a backhand and then asked directly:
Demon Lord Wu, I’m really confused. Where exactly did you get the courage to play such clever tricks with this National Preceptor?
You… what do you mean?
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment.
What do I mean? Do you really think this National Preceptor can’t see that you guys are trying to get something for free? I’m just inviting you into the trap.
Qi Huang sneered repeatedly.
“Inviting you into the trap?”
A hint of panic appeared on Wu Zheng’s face.
“As I said before, any ghost tribe that falsely claims kinship will pay a heavy price. Since so many ‘people’ don’t take it seriously, I naturally need to catch a few examples to serve as a warning.”
The smile on Qi Huang’s face became more brilliant as she asked Yaoyao:
“Are you done? Stop sucking!”
This time, Yaoyao raised her little head and pointed at Xiaojia, saying, “This ghost’s remains are indeed his mother.”
Hearing this, Xiaojia was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Yaoyao.
Qi Huang then looked at Hou Biao: “Do you have any last words?”
“No, no, no… you can’t kill me… I am a subordinate of the Demon Lord Wu.”
Hou Biao said through clenched teeth.
“National Preceptor, forget it. There’s no need to go too far. The ghost tribe is weak in the Immortal Realm now, and we should cooperate sincerely. Why create a rift over such an ant?”
Wu Zheng said, trying to be reasonable with a gloomy face.
“Die!”
Qi Huang completely ignored him. With a flash of sword light, Hou Biao’s head slid off his shoulders, and blood sprayed from his neck like a fountain. The headless corpse stiffly fell down.
“Ah!”
A group of evil spirits who had followed him to falsely claim kinship were terrified and fled with screams.
“Ah!”
The evil spirits watching the excitement from outside were all stunned. They never dreamed that Qi Huang would disregard Wu Zheng’s face and act so decisively.
“Demon Lord! Avenge me!”
Hou Biao’s head spoke with difficulty, until his expression finally froze in…
You bitch, how dare you kill my subordinate?
Wu Zheng was shocked and enraged, resentment swirling in his eyes. Sharp zombie teeth extended from the corners of his mouth, and killing intent locked onto Qi Huang nakedly.
“Already impatient? Not only will I kill him, but I will also kill you.”
Qi Huang said calmly, slashing her sword. The cold light flashed across Wu Zheng’s neck and then disappeared.
Wu Zheng trembled all over, and his large head rolled off his shoulders, his face still showing a look of shock.
“Ah…”
All the evil spirits who had falsely claimed kinship were so scared that they wet their pants and backed away, especially the three Demon Lords who had participated in white-panning Qi Huang.
“Not only will I kill you, but I will also kill everyone who has tried to white-pan this National Preceptor.”
Qi Huang’s spiritual sense emerged from her body, restraining the three Demon Lords who were trying to escape, and dragging them before her, preparing to kill them.
“Don’t kill me… don’t kill me… I’ll return those remains to you.”
“Don’t kill me ah… National Preceptor… Wu Zheng is the mastermind, I’m at most an accomplice.”
“National Preceptor, please show mercy! I am willing to go bankrupt to compensate for my mistakes!”
The three Demon Lords tried to struggle but to no avail, so they all pleaded. At this moment, they realized how ignorant they were, to have designs on a Heaven Demon level existence.
“It’s too late! Everyone who white-panned this National Preceptor will pay the price!”
Qi Huang said lightly, and with another sword stroke, the heads of the three Demon Lords were all severed.
“Ah… everyone run! She’s gone mad… she’s going to kill the whole world!”
Someone shouted inexplicably, and all the ghost tribes were completely terrified and fled in a panic.
“Do I look like I’m going to kill the whole world?”
Qi Huang asked her clones in confusion.
