While Leticia was preparing for war with great enthusiasm, her opponents seed to have entered so kind of idle state.
Apart from checking Mo Zili's location on schedule every day to remind Leticia they were still plotting against Mo Zili, there was no other activity.
Days passed one after another, and Leticia's resentnt toward these enemies who liked to stand people up grew stronger and stronger.
If this bunch didn't co for one day, she'd have to be held and rua'd by Bai Ling for an hour that day. If they never ca in their lifeti, would Leticia have to be held by Bai Ling for life?
What made it even more annoying was that Little Ya's vacation was running out. If things weren't resolved, Little Ya would have to return to the Human World first to attend school.
"Letting Little Ya go back alone—are you comfortable with that?" Leticia lay sprawled like a salted fish on the desk, while Miss Bai sat across from her.
During these extrely bizarrely peaceful days, Bai Ling had even gone out with Little Ya to buy so things.
In her words, souvenirs.
"That girl called Emily should have finished her vacation too. Having her accompany Little Ya back to the Human World should be fine." Bai Ling indicated there was no problem. The Human World had been quite stable recently, and after returning ho, her old friends would take over Little Ya's protection duties.
As for living arrangents, there was even less to worry about. Little Ya's self-care abilities were quite comndable.
At least several Qilas better than the two sisters present.
"Then you go talk to Qila. Emily is Qila's person—I'm not so petty as to compete with my sister for people." Leticia indicated she couldn't order Emily around; Bai Ling would need to ask Qila for help. "I just want to know when those people are coming. They check Mo Zili's location once every day—they definitely won't give up on Mo Zili. But why won't they just co?"
Why wouldn't they co? Of course they were waiting for the right mont.
At least with Mo Zili's teacher's current physical condition, a direct assault wasn't an option they could choose.
"I'd like to go directly and snatch the person, but your body hasn't recovered enough to display full combat power yet, and our people are still being gathered. Since Mo Zili's location hasn't changed, we'll wait and see how long our opponents can maintain such high-intensity defense." The short-haired woman said to Mo Zili's teacher.
Over these past few days, she had also sent people and personally gone to look at Mo Zili's location several tis, reaching the sa conclusion each ti—the people staying there weren't official demon forces, but another unknown organization.
Why weren't they official demon forces? The reason was simple: none of the people staying there looked like mbers of official demon forces.
Apart from Mo Zili, who was staying there? A black-haired and a white-haired human, and a magical creature disguised in human form. Could this be official demon forces?
Moreover, looking at their appearance, they were leisurely and relaxed without any tension. The short-haired woman even felt this group was just there on vacation.
Why would they take Mo Zili away?
This was probably because Mo Zili's talent was decent and caught their eye.
For these organizations, seeing a gifted girl and directly snatching her was very normal. For example, the famous Divine Throne.
Half their recruits ca from kidnapping.
"I've already sent people to report them. If the Demon King's people aren't idiots or deaf, they'll definitely react. We can take advantage of that mont to fish in troubled waters." The short-haired woman squinted her eyes with an unfathomable expression.
This organization and the Demon King definitely couldn't be considered allies. If they were together, why would they keep Mo Zili in their own hands instead of turning her over to the Demon King?
You should know that the current Demon King definitely already knew Mo Zili's importance, because people had seen Divine Throne's Divine Envoy walking around the Demon King's palace.
This indicated Divine Throne had reached consensus with the Demon King to jointly deal with them.
At this ti, they needed soone to share the firepower. That mysterious organization that suddenly appeared and kidnapped Mo Zili was a very good choice.
Telling the Demon King of their existence—what would the Demon King think?
The short-haired woman didn't know the answer. That empress always liked to not play by the rules, but one thing was certain: the Demon King would try her best to control Mo Zili in her own hands.
Then, the Demon King and this mysterious organization would inevitably clash, and the result of the clash would inevitably be the Demon King's victory.
After all, this place was called Demon King City. If the Demon King could lose on her ho turf, that would truly be the joke of the century.
"Sounds good, but do you know when the Demon King will launch action? If they use sneak attacks to succeed in one stroke, what should we do?"
"Deal with it as it cos. We can't exactly storm the Demon King's palace, and with that Demon King's personality, she should directly kill Mo Zili. If the Demon King really succeeds, we don't need to worry either—just run away imdiately."
If they didn't release the god to deal with the Demon King and only relied on their current combat power, the short-haired woman felt their side would probably be speedrun by the Demon King in five minutes.
"Mm, then let's prepare quickly. My combat power has recovered almost completely now—I can fight at any ti."
"I know, I know, but we still need to see what movents the Demon King has."
Movents from the Demon King's side?
The Demon King was currently laughing heartily.
"These geniuses—their calculations sound quite impressive. Wanting to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and fish in troubled waters. Too bad they used the wrong strategy." Leticia looked at the report letter in her hands, saying with mixed amusent and exasperation.
Being reported to herself by soone else was truly too funny.
Thinking with their brains, you'd know who wrote the report letter. Apart from those people wanting to get their hands on Mo Zili, who else could it be?
"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to lure the snake from its hole." Xue'er was also smiling. The mont she received this report letter, she thought of making an article out of it.
"Looks like we're thinking along the sa lines." Leticia smiled as she folded the letter. "After Qila returns, call Bai Ling over and let's discuss this properly. This ti, we must get Mo Zili's teacher and the divine artifact in her hands."
Other people weren't important—what mattered was the divine artifact. As long as she had the divine artifact in her hands, even if Mo Zili was taken away, the other side wouldn't have a chance to flip the table.
"Understood!"
......
"Oh, everything from that underground chamber has been decoded?" After discussing counterasures with Bai Ling and the others, Leticia received another piece of good news from Tōri.
The information from those docunts remaining in the underground chamber had been extracted by the sages.
Although most materials had been soaked in blood when first discovered and were almost illegible, the sages had experience handling such things. They only spent a few days successfully restoring those key clues.
With these clues, the mystery surrounding Mo Zili completely dissipated, allowing Leticia to know this girl's true background.
"She's an artificial human?" Leticia stood by the window, looking at the setting sun outside, muttering quietly.
The restored information had been compiled and delivered to her hands, with the first page explaining Mo Zili's identity.
That bloodline of traitors had actually been severed long ago, and Mo Zili was an existence similar to a clone.
From so hidden tomb, that noble who had been discovered by Leticia years ago to harbor rebellious intentions found a relatively well-preserved skeleton.
From the skeleton, he obtained genetic information, and with help from several unnad human friends, he successfully created a little girl.
More accurately, several little girls.
The first few test subjects died in early childhood from various reasons. They were used by that noble to create the monster placed underground.
Until Mo Zili—the first girl who didn't die young—appeared, making that noble overjoyed. He saw in her the opportunity to realize his wish.
He hated demons, he hated the world that gave birth to him—he was a complete madman.
"Though a madman, his abilities were considerable." Leticia sighed. That noble's idea was simple: he wanted to use a god as his weapon to destroy the entire world.
As for how to control the god, he also had a bold idea.
Very unluckily, the thod this noble conceived could currently be used by Leticia. As long as this noble's speculation was correct, then Leticia could win this battle without breaking a sweat.
"Using a controlled body to imprison a god's spirit—what a genius idea."
Mo Ziling was the thod this noble originally planned to use to control the god.
For that noble, directly releasing the god was extrely risky. He couldn't predict what the god would do after being released.
Perhaps the god would cooperate with the Demon King—a situation he didn't want to see. So he needed a way to control the god.
Judging from Mo Ziling's current state, this noble's speculation had no problems.
There was a unilateral contract between that girl's body and Leticia, but her soul was free.
This was similar to that noble's speculation. Without Leticia's permission, Mo Ziling's soul simply couldn't escape the controlled body.
What was the principle? Leticia didn't know—probably the mysterious relationship between soul and flesh.
"I need to discuss the feasibility of this thod with Sasha." Leticia said quietly.
"Your Majesty, tonight at midnight is when action begins. Do we need to postpone?" Xue'er stood behind Leticia, asking.
She didn't know what Tōri had just delivered, but judging by Leticia's expression, this thing should be very important—possibly even affecting the success or failure of this plan.
"No need. Our goal hasn't changed—just kill the rats hiding in the shadows and seize the divine artifact." Leticia shook her head. She didn't plan to use divine power anyway. If she could suppress that god back, she'd suppress it back.
If she couldn't suppress it back, then considering controlling it wouldn't be too late.
The prerequisite for all this was getting the divine artifact into her own hands first. Tonight's midnight show was prepared for those self-proclaid clever rats.
"Proceed according to the original plan. Have Lance lead the team attacking here. Tell him not to hold back when fighting starts—go as hard as possible." Leticia said, clenching her fist.
Acting required not being too fake, or it would be easy to see through.
Especially Lance, this renowned Heavenly King—if he held back, those rats could easily spot sothing wrong.
If anyone was going to hold back, it should be Bai Ling, right? Currently, few in the demon side knew Bai Ling's true combat power. Having her hold back a bit to create the appearance of a tough battle would more easily lure the fish to bite.
"I'll try not to one-shot that Lance." Along with a faint door-opening sound, Bai Ling walked in from outside. "Little Ya has been taken to the Demon King's palace by Qila. Apart from Mo Zili, everyone remaining here should be combat personnel, right?"
This place was about to beco a battlefield. Little Ya, a powerless girl with only a super unstable magic-nullifying field, certainly wasn't suitable to stay here. So after so discussion, Leticia and Bai Ling decided to have Qila take Little Ya sowhere safe.
What was the safest place in Demon King City? Undoubtedly, the Demon King's palace.
"That silly girl surely can't still fail to guess my identity even like this, right?" Leticia thought to herself.
So, had Little Ya guessed?
She hadn't.
Yes, she still hadn't guessed that Leticia was actually Demon King of the demon race.
Because she felt Sister Qianqian wouldn't so carelessly expose her own identity.
Sister Qianqian had made a bet with her before, and the bet wasn't over yet. According to Sister Qianqian's personality, could she possibly do sothing like self-destructing to give her the win?
No way. Little Ya thought she knew Sister Qianqian very well. The Sister Qianqian in her mind was super petty with an extrely strong competitive spirit—she definitely couldn't do sothing like admitting defeat.
Sister Qianqian just had Little Qi bring her to the Demon King's palace like this, which proved Sister Qianqian definitely wasn't the Demon King. That's why Sister Qianqian could send her here without any psychological burden.
"Little Qi, is it really okay for to enter the Demon King's palace like this?" Gripping Qila's hand tightly, Bai Ya asked sowhat fearfully.
Although Sister Qianqian could have Little Qi bring her here, she must have cleared the connections, but thinking she might face that fierce Demon King at any mont, Little Ya still couldn't stop being afraid.
"It's fine. The Demon King has been quite busy recently and spends most of her ti not staying in the Demon King's palace. Sister has a good relationship with the Demon King—she's very welcoming about you staying here for a few days." Qila's eye twitched a bit. This dummy—even at this point, she hasn't guessed that Sister is actually the Demon King?
