Chapter: Chapter 302
Leticia instinctively wanted to call out to Kira to ask for her sister’s opinion, but she called out several times and received no response. It was then that she remembered her sister had asked for leave yesterday to go see her little lover.
“I knew I shouldn’t have let her go. Sigh, what should I do all by myself?” Leticia sighed, resting her forehead on her hand. It was too much for her to have to think for herself right now.
So, the time had come to make a choice. Should she stay here and wait for the situation to develop, or should she head directly to the central city to confront that deity head-on?
In the past, this wouldn’t have been a choice. How could she put herself in danger for others? She was a Demon King; preserving herself was the most important thing.
But she was vastly different from her past self now; in other words, her thoughts had changed.
The central city today was undoubtedly a huge trap, but ah, in this huge trap were the people she loved!
Whether it was Kira, Xiao Ya, or someone else, she didn’t want to see them get hurt in front of her. Since she had the power, she naturally had to use it where she deemed it appropriate.
“Hoo, isn’t it just a trap? I’ll jump in, damn it!” Leticia gritted her teeth, grabbed her clothes from the side, and made her decision.
Perhaps this would put her in danger, but she believed that if she and Bai Ling couldn’t weather the crisis together, then wouldn’t she only be able to surrender when facing the same crisis alone in the future?
She couldn’t necessarily count on the Ancestor and Youming. Just like this time, the opponent had disabled her cheat from the start. If the Dream God could do this, couldn’t other gods do the same? She only had to think about it. If the Dream God had the means, other gods would surely have similar means.
At most, the forms of expression would be slightly different.
Besides, Leticia also wanted to try and see if she and Bai Ling working together could deal with a true god. Their previous battle with the Mist God was one they were about to lose, which made Leticia a little unhappy.
And now, in Infernos’s words, Leticia’s strength had improved greatly compared to before. She wondered if such an improvement could help her take down a god.
“Your Majesty, you intend to…”
Leticia opened her room door and saw Deng Li squatting in the corner eating a flatbread. Deng Li was startled when she saw Leticia come out, then quickly hid the half-eaten flatbread behind her, wiped the crumbs from her mouth, and stood up straight.
“It’s nothing. I’m going to the central city. You follow me. If you encounter any special circumstances, don’t worry about anything else and take Kira away for me.” Leticia motioned for Deng Li to follow her. This guard lady should be able to forcibly take Kira away.
Hearing Leticia’s words, Deng Li showed a troubled expression. “Your Majesty, do you think my small arms and legs can forcibly take the Princess away?”
“I know that girl Kira’s strength. She definitely can’t beat you.” Leticia grabbed Deng Li’s wrist. “We’ll talk about the rest on the way. For now, just follow me!”
“Understood, understood. Your Majesty, you don’t need to hold my hand, I can keep up with your speed,” Deng Li quickly threw her unfinished breakfast into the trash can nearby and said to Leticia.
…
“Sigh, it’s so boring.” Listening to the teacher on the stage speak endlessly, the god felt bored and began to space out. Her plan was about to begin, and she no longer needed to hide her specialness.
It didn’t matter if she was discovered. Her dream was ready, and she could start her plan immediately no matter what accidents occurred. It was only a matter of time.
Glancing at the middle-aged man beside her, the god felt a sense of disgust originating from within her heart. This was Zi Meng’s body’s instinctive reaction, and it also indirectly showed how much this girl Zi Meng disliked her own father.
However, this was quite normal. The current era was like this. Many of the dreams captured by gods contained such emotions.
The difference was that while others had this emotion, it wasn’t as intense as Zi Meng’s. Zi Meng truly wished for this middle-aged man to die quickly.
“Don’t worry, I will grant your wish before you complete your mission.” The god’s lips curled up. Since she wanted Zi Meng’s devotion, she didn’t mind granting Zi Meng’s wish along the way, after all, she was a kind and great god.
“Xiao Meng, it’s so boring. How long is the teacher going to lecture? It’s almost noon, and we have to perform this afternoon.” A mosquito-like voice reached the god’s ears. The god turned her head and saw Xiao Ya with a look of existential despair.
Sitting next to the young girl was a white-haired young woman who was spacing out. Although she was sitting in the parent’s seat, she didn’t act like a parent at all, making one suspect she was actually a senior student hired by Xiao Ya to fill in.
However, the teacher knew that Xiao Ya only had this one sister. Besides, Xiao Ya’s past parent-teacher conferences didn’t even have parents attending. At least a parent came this time, which was pretty good.
She couldn’t ask for too much.
“Let’s wait a little longer, it should be over soon.” Facing the girl’s complaints, the god gave a not-so-natural smile. She still hadn’t figured out these two sisters. To avoid any further complications, her plan was to send these two away before proceeding with her own plan.
As for the other black-haired girl, she was probably being led around in circles by the diversionary tactics she had set up.
Thinking of this, the god’s mood improved. She deliberately blew herself up last night to divert that girl’s attention from Zi Meng. According to normal people’s thinking, since I blew myself up, I would definitely hide well.
But the god went against the grain. She not only participated in the parent-teacher conference but also performed, acting very normally. By doing this, that girl would definitely doubt if her own judgment was wrong.
The white-haired girl just went out to take a call. The god dared to bet that the call was definitely from the black-haired girl, intended to inform the white-haired girl about her blowing herself up in the dream.
And by staying here, she would definitely make the black-haired girl suspicious. She didn’t need to make her agonize for long; a day was enough for her to complete most of her plan. By the time the black-haired girl reacted, she would only be able to flee with her tail between her legs.
“Sometimes, smart people are the easiest to control.” The god happily propped her head up. Thinking of her happy future life, she couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.
…
“The atmosphere in the central city is so strange.” As soon as she entered the central city, Leticia frowned. Compared to when she left, the central city now gave her an unusually oppressive feeling.
It was as if something was pressing down on the central city, making it difficult to breathe.
“Really? Why do I feel like it’s quite normal?” Deng Li curiously looked up at the sky. She didn’t have much of a sense of the oppression Leticia was talking about. In her opinion, the central city was no different from when she left.
However, since this was the Demon King’s judgment, Deng Li would definitely not dismiss it as a joke.
Perhaps her perception was too dull and she couldn’t sense the abnormality that was obvious to His Majesty.
“You can’t feel it?” Leticia gently let out a breath, reached out, and grabbed Deng Li’s wrist, sharing her perception with her. “Relax your mind and try to feel it.”
Deng Li obediently relaxed her mind, and the next moment, her expression also turned grim. She felt the pressure Leticia was feeling.
It was like the weight of a great mountain pressing down on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
“This is… what?” She looked up at the sky above the central city. The entire sky was covered in a bizarre multicolored light, which was undoubtedly a sign that something big was about to happen.
“We’re in trouble, and it’s big trouble.” Leticia sighed softly. “We need to be prepared for the worst.”
Before Leticia could finish speaking, a voice came from not far away, picking up her words. “Your Majesty the Demon King, could I speak with you for a moment?”
Leticia looked in the direction of the voice and saw the white-haired woman she had introduced to Bai Ling standing a few meters in front of her with a smile. And just now, she had detected nothing at all!
This woman’s stealth ability was terrifying.
Who exactly was she?
Leticia didn’t believe that such a woman would be unknown among the God seats. Someone like this would at least be a high-ranking figure among the God seats, at least better than Sasha, that errand runner.
Therefore, the reason for her appearance here was quite worth pondering.
Signaling Deng Li to wait for her return, Leticia walked a few steps forward, coming to the white-haired woman’s side. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
The woman’s smile was still as bright as ever, as if she hadn’t sensed anything unusual. But her opening words denied that possibility. “You’ve also seen the abnormality in the sky, Your Majesty Leticia, right?”
“Of course, I have. But, the only ones who have seen this scene are probably just the two of us.” Leticia spread her hands. She was sure that Kira and Bai Ling definitely hadn’t seen this scene.
If the two of them had seen it, she wouldn’t have waited until now without receiving a call from them. This meant that, at least in their line of sight, everything was fine in the central city, with no abnormalities at all.
“Ordinary people naturally can’t see all this. Seeing all this indicates that you have a bit too deep a connection with the spiritual world.” The white-haired woman’s smile deepened. “I have no intention of investigating the reason why you can see all this, but what I want to say is that being too deeply involved with that world is not a good thing for anyone.”
“Oh? You seem to be doing fine right now?” Leticia retorted subconsciously. According to this woman’s statement, wouldn’t the woman who could also see all this also be too involved with that world?
The woman shook her head. “I actively contacted that world, but you?”
Leticia’s expression turned a bit unpleasant. She indeed didn’t actively contact that world; she was influenced by that god, which led her to contact that magnificent world.
“In short, it’s still too early for you to contact this world. Don’t make that expression. I’m not joking.” The white-haired woman said to Leticia seriously, “After this matter is over, if you believe me, come and find me. I will help you solve the after-effects.”
Looking at the woman’s expression, Leticia believed more than half of what she said. From any angle, she didn’t feel like this woman was lying.
This meant that everything she said was true, and she wasn’t lying to her.
“I understand. I’ll consider it carefully. But what’s more important now is why the sky has become like this.” Leticia pointed at the sky. The after-effects were not that important; what was important was what was appearing above their heads right now.
This sky with its bizarre colors was definitely not normal.
The woman’s answer was also quite normal. “Clearly, our opponent can’t hold back anymore.”
“Where is our opponent?” Leticia asked directly.
This time, the woman didn’t give an answer. She just gave a profound smile. “Believe what is in your heart; that’s the most likely answer.”
“Can’t you just say things clearly? Do you know you’ll get docked pay for this?” Leticia rolled her eyes. Why did this woman like to act mysterious so much? Why was she still playing riddles now? Wouldn’t it be better to just reveal the answer directly?
The woman saw Leticia’s dissatisfaction but didn’t change her mind. She just pointed in a direction and said to Leticia, “There is the place where the reaction is strongest. The opponent’s descent location is most likely there.”
Leticia looked in the direction the woman pointed, but unfortunately, being directionally challenged, she didn’t know what place it was.
However, it was at least a clue.
“Can you be more detailed… Tsk, where did she go?” Leticia turned back to ask more clearly, but when she turned back, she found that the woman had already disappeared from her sight.
This speed of leaving was truly absurd.
“Did you see how she left?” Leticia asked Deng Li.
The guard shook her head and replied, “When you turned your head just now, that woman suddenly disappeared. I didn’t see any of her movements.”
“Alright, it seems the partner I found has some strength, a bit too much strength.” Leticia snorted. She no longer believed that the woman came to the central city for the reason she stated. What was there that was worth a major figure of the God seats leaving the front lines to come here?
She couldn’t figure it out.
Was it to recruit people, or to gather reinforcements?
Leticia couldn’t guess, but she was certainly up to something else; that was certain.
