Chapter 0: 91. Despising the Demon God
“Which king…” Qin Gou’s expression froze, and he suddenly realized, “That day, Lu Changli intended to force you into this matter?” Lu Zhili nodded with a dejected face, “You actually only found out now.” Qin Gou slapped his head, feeling very awkward, “I completely didn’t think in that direction at the time, I just wanted you to appease Lu Changli for now, to avoid physical suffering, and once I became the Tenth Pillar, everything would be easily solved. Who knew Lu Changli was harboring such a wicked idea, and you believed my nonsense based on just a glance…”
“Did I make a mistake by trusting Qin Sheng with all my heart?” Lu Zhili asked with a bitter face, lowering her resentful eyes. “You are not wrong, cough, neither of us is wrong!” Qin Gou gritted his teeth, “If anyone is to blame, it’s Lu Changli! This guy probably took the wrong medicine, insisting on turning our younger brother Mo Yu into my son Mo Yu, is that even proper?”
“Qin Sheng!” Lu Zhili’s delicate face blushed as she chided, “How can you still be in the mood for jokes now.” Qin Gou felt ashamed, “Then if neither of us agrees to this matter, won’t Lu Changli stop cooperating with me to persuade the other Demon Lords to help you get acquitted? He might even deliberately make things difficult for you?”
“Yes.” Lu Zhili gave a bitter smile, “Although the Ancestor always says everything is for my own good, I also understand that if I don’t act according to his wishes, I know what fate awaits me.” “If it were in the past, Zhili might not have cared about these things, but now that I think about it carefully, doing so would not only ruin Qin Sheng’s reputation but also let down Zhili’s intended person.”
At this moment, the only good news Qin Gou received was that Old Lu had found her own love interest. As an old friend, he should indeed offer his congratulations, but… he absolutely dared not ask about the origin of this intended person. “How about this, don’t act rashly for now, I’ll think of another way.” Saying this, Qin Gou turned and walked out of the house. “Qin Sheng.”
“What is it?” “You are the best friend I’ve had since my reincarnation. I don’t know if I can ever repay your kindness in this life.” Lu Zhili’s charming eyes were dewy. “You have a good daughter.”
“Ah?” Qin Gou’s speech suddenly became astonishing, “I mean, Little Ling’er is a filial disciple! What are you ah-ing about? Lu Zhili, oh Lu Zhili, what unspeakable thoughts are in your head? You truly live up to your name!” “Ah, ah-choo… I accidentally sneezed, making Qin Sheng laugh. What did you just say? I wasn’t thinking of anything!” Lu Zhili looked innocent and bewildered.
…
With a flushed face, Qin Gou walked out of Lu Zhili’s residence. On the way, he happened to meet Demon Lord Duyou, who was walking towards him. Instantly, Demon Lord Duyou shivered all over, staring at Qin Gou with unwavering eyes, standing stiffly. Qin Gou looked behind himself in confusion, there was clearly nothing there. Was this guy seeing ghosts?
“Brother Duyou?” “You can just call me Duyou!” Demon Lord Duyou’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly said. “You?” Qin Gou was puzzled, “Duyou’s cultivation realm and ranking among the Demon Lords are far above mine, why do you respect me so much? Could it be… we’ve met before?”
This Demon Lord Duyou was actually the youngest apart from himself, and had only achieved the position of Demon Lord in recent years. This made Qin Gou extremely suspicious. He carefully recalled if this Demon Lord Duyou was among the Demon Race who attacked Arc-Moon Mountain under Mo Qingyang’s leadership and seized Kong Ling.
Demon Lord Duyou trembled all over, “Absolutely not.” “Then why…”
For a moment, the suspicion in Qin Gou’s eyes grew, making Demon Lord Duyou’s heart pound and his scalp tingle. He stammered incoherently, “Be-because you look too much like a deceased relative of mine! The moment I saw Zhenyu, I couldn’t help but think of him!” “Is this true?” Qin Gou looked strange, “I wonder which elder in your clan you resemble?”
“My old father!” “Pfft.” Qin Gou looked incredulous, his eyes filled with concern for a foolishly naive person. Demon Lord Duyou blurted out, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Senior Yan. He also met my father and can testify for me.”
“No.” Qin Gou couldn’t help but suppress a laugh and pointed at his own face, “Do you think we look alike?” Demon Lord Duyou’s face turned ashen, and he wanted to cry but had no tears, “My mother, that woman was no good!”
Unbelievable. Qin Gou shook his head, finding it both funny and frustrating. Meeting such an eccentric genius had completely swept away his previous gloomy mood. “Alright, you can call me whatever you want. I don’t care if your words are true or false. Just remember not to mess up my business.” Demon Lord Duyou gave a dry laugh and remained silent.
Qin Gou walked past him and continued forward. “You… where are you going?” Demon Lord Duyou couldn’t help but ask. “To pay respects to the Demon God Sacred Image.” “Shall I lead the way for you?” “No need.”
In front of the darkly sinister Demon God Sacred Image, Qin Gou once again had Miss Chongchong confirm that no one was monitoring before he quietly gave a look. “Esteemed Son-in-law.” Luo Cangming’s voice suddenly sounded in Qin Gou’s mind, excitedly saying, “The big matter is settled. When do you plan to send me a suitable soul possession target?”
“Old Luo, don’t be so hasty.” Qin Gou spread his hands helplessly, “Even if I help you get a new life now, I still have to figure out how to help you escape the Demon Lord’s Tower without anyone noticing. Otherwise, an outsider suddenly appearing might cause some trouble.”
“It’s not that I’m too hasty, but I’ve discovered some strange things that I can’t figure out, which makes me really uneasy.” Luo Cangming sighed. “What’s wrong?” Qin Gou asked in confusion. Luo Cangming hesitated, his tone deep, “Earlier, when you performed the ritual in front of me, the First Demon Lord Yan Suoyun’s gaze towards me was very wrong! It was a look of extreme contempt and disdain! He shouldn’t have discovered my existence, otherwise, he would have expelled me from the Sacred Image long ago. But if that’s the case, it’s even more astonishing…”
“Whose Sacred Image is this? How dare an Abyssal Demon Lord show such disdain for the Demon God? Moreover, I always feel that this person looks familiar, but he didn’t reveal his true face just now, so I can’t confirm.” “Despising the Demon God?!”
At the same time. Yan Suoyun fell into a long silence after hearing Demon Lord Duyou’s report on Qin Gou’s actions. The benefactor went and returned to the location of the Sacred Image? “To this day, I still can’t see through Senior Brother Qin. No, I’m truly used to it. Even the Saint Monarch no longer calls you disciple. As a mere registered disciple, I should still call you benefactor!”
As he thought, Yan Suoyun recalled many past events and smiled nostalgically… Those two people who severed the Divine Bridge were not only willful but also extremely protective of their own.
