Breakfast was finished.
Shen Xiujun cleaned up the table with extrely crisp and efficient movents before heading to the kitchen to wash the dishes and pots.
Wu Xiaode sat there silently drinking tea.
The tea was full of spiritual energy, rippling with magic power; consuming it brought a sense of complete relaxation.
—This was Shen Xiujun’s handiwork.
"Wait for to finish washing up, then co over and massage my shoulders," she said.
Her voice carried from the kitchen.
Wu Xiaode’s mouth twitched.
This monster could see right through his heart, knowing exactly the kind of life he wanted.
But I’m not falling for it!
"Clang—"
A faint sound emanated from the void, followed by lines of ice crystal characters appearing:
"Alert!"
"Both your reputations are at the ’Friendly’ stage."
"The other party has realized a scene from your dreams, and hence gained one star at this stage (stars are accustod units of asurent in this book)."
"When you or the other party acquire a total of four stars, the reputation will rise to ’Respect.’"
"Rember this."
Four stars to rise to "Respect"?
Behind "Respect" is "Adoration."
—I must not let the Feeding Demon Master get to "Respect" first!
However—
The Feeding Demon Master had taken the lead and had already gained a star!
Wu Xiaode clenched his fists.
No, I need to quickly figure out a way to gain four stars and surpass this monster!
As he was thinking, Shen Xiujun had finished washing the dishes and was walking out of the kitchen.
"What’s the matter? Just sit there by yourself, don’t bother ," Wu Xiaode said warily.
Shen Xiujun smiled softly and said,
"I’m free anyway, let give you a back massage and tap your legs."
She untied her apron, sat down next to Wu Xiaode, and reached out to grasp his leg.
"Don’t touch , I need to go to the bathroom!"
Wu Xiaode, like a startled bird, jumped up from his seat and ran towards the restroom.
Bang.
The restroom door closed.
Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
The other party keeps scoring—
How is this going to work?
This monster knows all the unrealistic fantasies in his heart, so every move is very targeted.
Is there any way to counterattack?
He sat down on the toilet, his mind racing with thoughts.
What to do?
How can I win over this love demon?
An idea suddenly sprang to mind.
Right!
This was a battle unprecedented and a very rare stalemate dragging the love demon into it.
If those Heavenly Spirits knew about this—
They would certainly do everything in their power to help him achieve the first victory for all beings against the love demon!
Without hesitation, Wu Xiaode released the Book of the Dead, placed his hand on the wishing wall, and silently said:
"It was already a brand-new day."
"Give a mission."
In an instant, a note floated into his hand.
Wu Xiaode focused his eyes and saw small characters written on the note:
"Ancient and modern, dostic and foreign, hundreds of thousands of Heroic Spirits are all paying attention to your grand love battle with the Demon Lord."
"This is a crucial battle concerning the fate of all beings."
"The following mission is hereby issued:"
"Under the guidance of seven hundred and ninety-one Love Saints, you must sacrifice your beauty to feed the tiger, causing the opponent to fall into the abyss of love."
Stop!
What does it an to sacrifice my beauty?
Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but feel a bit critical.
The voice of the Human Emperor suddenly arose from the Wall of Wishes:
"Little Wu, you’re not good at this love business. Here, we have seven hundred and ninety-one Love Saints ready to descend into your body and romance the Demon Lord."
"Do I really have to go through with this?" Wu Xiaode said, his lips twitching.
The tone of the Human Emperor was sowhat peculiar, "Had you asked before, I would have said that this concerns the fate of all beings, and even losing your body is a trivial matter; but I’ve thought it over carefully, and this situation was created by you. It might not work if soone else were in your place—maybe only you can confuse the Demon Lord, thereby securing a chance for victory?"
"So I won’t interfere; you decide for yourself."
"Whether you want the Love Saints to handle the romancing, or if you think of a different strategy, both are fine."
The Human Emperor spoke very frankly, and Wu Xiaode breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"No, I firmly cannot play that seduction ga."
He said very seriously.
"Are you too embarrassed?" the Human Emperor asked.
"It’s not about embarrassnt; actually, the opponent’s principle of causality from the start has stressed ’rit,’ and only soone ’virtuous’ can have the privilege to face it as an equal." Wu Xiaode explained.
Countless Heroic Spirits listened in the Void.
"Do you think it would be problematic if soone else took over?" asked the Human Emperor.
"Definitely! Once it’s soone else, the choice of rit would be different; even if the replaced Heroic Spirit has potent rit, ’switching persons’ in the midst of love is a despicable action, possibly a loophole..." Wu Xiaode stopped there.
There was one more thing he didn’t ntion.
If really swapping persons could lead to victory—
Why hadn’t Shen Xiujun stord the restroom by now?
She understood all the Laws, and would definitely go to great lengths to prevent a switch!
Yet—
Until this mont, she hadn’t co in!
"So forget it, I’ll handle it myself." Wu Xiaode said.
"Hmm, that makes sense; since you created this situation, you decide." the Human Emperor said with an approving tone.
The note in Wu Xiaode’s hand suddenly ignited and quickly turned to ashes.
The mission disappeared.
In the dining room.
Shen Xiujun had various female silhouettes glowing pink floating behind her.
She held her breath for a long ti, immobile as she sat at the table, her head down looking at the wooden pattern on the surface.
When Wu Xiaode rejected the mission—
Shen Xiujun finally breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing a hint of regret as she softly said:
"Such a slick one, just a little bit more and you would have broken the ’Law of Fairness,’ and I could have..."
She sighed with regret.
Behind her, all the female silhouettes glowing pink shook their heads simultaneously, sighed softly, and gradually disappeared.
There seed to be so unusual commotion at the front of the bar.
Shen Xiujun had already sensed the situation at the front door; with her interest waning, she didn’t bother to observe Wu Xiaode anymore and stood up, walking towards the front door.
In the restroom.
Wu Xiaode put away the Book of the Dead, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Even the Heroic Spirits who were secretly observing Shen Xiujun hadn’t seen what had just happened to her.
He pondered hard, but couldn’t think of a strategy to turn the tables, so he simply got up from the toilet, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then stared blankly into the mirror.
Suddenly.
A voice rang out from the Holy Treasure Ring.
Wu Xiaode hastily wiped the ring and took out the World Stone that belonged to the Shangmo family.
Imdiately, the voice of the family matriarch, Sister Qiong, erged from the stone:
"Arian, there’s so trouble in the Council, and those major families won’t submit to my authority. I’ve co to discuss so strategies with you."
"Don’t you have the authority to allow certain people to enter the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm? Doesn’t that attract any allies?" Wu Xiaode asked in surprise.
Sister Qiong sighed and said:
"I’m struggling to support everything alone, and they are even trying to strip of that authority, though they haven’t succeeded yet."
"They won’t succeed, that is an authority I gave you," Wu Xiaode said.
"Let’s talk when we et," Qiong stated.
"Okay, let’s et—huh? What do you an? Do you want to co back now?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"No, I am here," Qiong said.
"What!"
"Why are you so surprised? The ’Heaven and Earth’ world is yours, others can’t co, but I can, after all, I am your woman."
Qiong’s voice disappeared from the World Stone.
Wu Xiaode was silent for a mont, then suddenly jumped up, violently pushed open the bathroom door, and turned to run towards the bar entrance.
He had only run a few steps when he stopped.
The bar’s door was open.
Shen Xiujun and Qiong were holding hands affectionately, talking and walking into the bar.
Qiong even spared him a glance.
"Why are you disguised as Wu Xiaode?"
She transmitted her voice sowhat unexpectedly.
Wu Xiaode glanced at her, then looked at Shen Xiujun.
"These are people Wu Xiaode knows, I had to impersonate him to be trusted by them."
He responded.
"Sister, did you co for Wu Xiaode too?" Shen Xiujun asked Qiong with a smile.
Qiong was stunned.
Having heard Wu Xiaode’s explanation just now and seeing the inexplicable expression on Shen Xiujun’s face, and then carefully pondering her words—
Qiong finally understood.
Arian was impersonating Wu Xiaode to gather intelligence!
After all, this world is inhabited by Divine and Guardian Gods and is governed by powerful heavenly laws!
—She definitely shouldn’t ss up his plans!
"I have so business dealings with him; I am his subordinate, and I ca specially to report various matters," Qiong said seriously.
This ti it was Shen Xiujun’s turn to be stunned.
Although Shen Xiujun could perceive everything, she was not omnipotent, and upon hearing Qiong’s words, she beca sowhat hesitant.
Kill this woman?
No.
If she really was Wu Xiaode’s assistant, then killing her would directly drop Wu Xiaode’s reputation to "cold" or "hatred."
Then her efforts would be wasted!
It would be best if this woman really were his assistant and not so mistress.
Shen Xiujun patted her chest and said with a laugh:
"You scared ! I thought Little Wu Brother had other won besides , but Little Wu Brother is the best, he definitely wouldn’t secretly keep a concubine."
Qiong quieted down.
She glanced quickly at Wu Xiaode.
Keeping a concubine?
Arian, you not only killed Wu Xiaode, but now you’ve also taken his woman?
Tsk—
This is really—
Quite impressive!
The n of our Shangmo family ought to have such skills for the family to prosper and grow.
But Arian...
We still have serious matters to deal with, yet here you are flirting around...
Qiong approached Wu Xiaode with a smile that was not quite a smile and asked softly:
"President Wu, are you two expecting a child?"
"Ah, Sister Qiong, why would you say that? We haven’t reached that step yet," Shen Xiujun said, blushing and stamping her foot.
"Really?" Qiong asked incredulously, a glimr of joy flashing in her eyes.
If it was true, that would be best.
It would prove that he respected her and wouldn’t ss around with marital affairs.
Wu Xiaode looked at Qiong.
He certainly understood her aning.
He looked at Shen Xiujun again.
He naturally also understood Shen Xiujun’s aning.
Hold steady.
Stay calm.
He could actually handle this situation, he must not get flustered!
Wu Xiaode took a deep breath, about to speak, when suddenly he heard a door sound from behind.
Shen Feixue walked out, heavily pregnant.
"Little Wu Brother still has an assistant? Welco, welco, co inside and let’s talk," she said as she quickly approached the three.
—No matter what, if Grandmaster Little Wu really was a casanova, she must protect her sister.
Shen Xiujun reacted very quickly and imdiately went forward to support her.
"Sister, why did you co out?"
"I ca to make decisions for you. You’re not as experienced as your sister, and your sister wouldn’t harm you."
"Sister is the best."
Qiong was stunned again.
Her gaze fixed on Shen Feixue’s belly.
Alright.
So, the one just now wasn’t the real deal.
Look, this one is already carrying his child!
She was ultimately left behind!
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Shen Feixue looked at Wu Xiaode, also feeling sowhat displeased.
What kind of assistant is this?
Which female assistant looks at their boss like that?
Shen Xiujun’s eyes were flickering, constantly calculating how to break through the situation and take down Wu Xiaode using the montum of the two won.
Seeing the stance of the three won—
—This was really beyond him!
So much for calmness.
So much for composure.
I am not really a womanizer.
I just want to save the world, why must I face such situations?
"Ladies, you guys chat first, I just rembered I still have so things to do, excuse ,"
Wu Xiaode said, and imdiately ran out of the bar.
