Chapter 36: Maybe Ka Fu Ka Is a Cushion Demon?

"Will you also betray Miss Ma Qi Ma like this?"

In the kitchen, Zao Chuan Qiu, who heard everything clearly, carried a bowl of beef ramen and walked out slowly; he didn't glance at Dian Ci, picked up his chopsticks, and bowed his head to eat.

"I could never betray Miss Ma Qi Ma, even if it meant letting me rub x, it's absolutely impossible." Dian Ci's gaze unintentionally drifted toward the window, his voice sounding a bit feeble.

…In fact, he had indeed entertained thoughts of betraying Miss Ma Qi Ma.

When he saw Ka Fu Ka, Ji Zi, Xi Lu Wa, Ke Ke Li Ya, Bu Luo Ni Ya… and the others, he couldn't help but have wicked thoughts. After all, a light screen is just a light screen—visible but untouchable. So the Miss Ma Qi Ma who could pat his head every now and then was obviously more appealing.

"Really? But if you're willing to betray Ma Qi Ma, I, the Great Lord, will mercifully let you have a go at rubbing." Pa Wa smiled maliciously, proudly puffing out her chest, and the previously unremarkable x part now strangely caught the eye.

Pa Wa… is she usually this big?

Dian Ci subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"If you let me rub it now…"

"Sure, Dian Ci." Pa Wa cut off his hesitation; a hint of demonic wickedness finally appeared on her cute face, "As long as you're willing to become my henchman from now on and betray that woman Ma Qi Ma… you may."

"—But, Dian Ci, you must rub with gratitude."

Zao Chuan Qiu propped his forehead, and the beef noodles in his mouth instantly became tasteless, like chewing wax. He could no longer bear to watch.

…These two idiots.

Dian Ci's heartbeat hammered like drums, his trembling hands moving forward like soldiers crawling on a battlefield; amid his heavy breathing, when he finally touched Pa Wa's clothing… two thick cushions fell out from her outfit.

In an instant—big pomelo turned into a small orange.

"Aaaah—!"

Amid the sky‑piercing wail, Dian Ci petrified on the spot.

"This is the truth about women, Dian Ci."

Pa Wa wore a triumphant grin, "Your favorite Ka Fu Ka is surely just like me; how could a normal human grow that big? Rubbing me or her isn't much different—maybe she's a cushion demon from hell."

——

""We're about to become prisoners again… I've noticed this happens once every three worlds." Xiao San Yue seemed to see the reality clearly, sighing disheartened.

""That's because you always act on impulse without any plan.""

"I'll grow too! Right now I have a plan… a plan…!" Xiao San Yue's eyes lit up, gazing at the nearby empty alley—the very area previously corrupted by the Rift and also the forbidden zone of the Bei Luo Bo Ge people.

"Got it, this is indeed a viable plan." Dan Heng replied swiftly, "Xing, San Yue, get ready to flee."

San Yue, with a surprised face, said, "Huh, really? I was just kidding…"

"Guan Yu Fan San—" Dan Heng suddenly uttered.

"Huh? Idiom chain? Now?" Xing subconsciously replied, "…three‑hearted and two‑minded!"

"Shh! That's the old code of the Train Group; when we count to one, you run with us!" San Yue Qi whispered conspiratorially.

"The lord's command is singular—"

"Borrow one from the city!"

As soon as the words fell, Dan Heng instinctively pressed San Yue Qi's head, and the next second Xing's bat materialized, striking the Iron Guard behind him on the head with a single blow!

The scene instantly descended into chaos; the Iron Guard beside Bu Luo Ni Ya was about to surround them, Dan Heng's spear swept low, toppling seven or eight soldiers, while the others, unable to catch up, readied their guns—only to find their metal weapons frozen by San Yue Qi.

"Alright~ a little jump as a salute to everyone!"

Before diving into the Rift, San Yue Qi still made sure to give them a mocking grimace.

Accompanied by a few "whoosh‑whoosh" sounds, the Train Trio's voices vanished completely in the alley.

That coordination isn't bad; when we face the two‑sided Sukuna later, it would be great to have such exquisite teamwork.

Ri Xia Bu Du Ye lit the cigarette between his lips, his fleeting envy fading instantly; he sighed, "If everyone fails to cooperate, I might be the only one left to fight Sukuna."

"Pessimism is meaningless; after all, you can't really invite the Train Group to fight Sukuna." Yui Itto reminded.

Heh, if I could actually invite them… I wouldn't be sighing here, I'd be home sleeping already." Ri Xia Bu Du Ye plopped onto the stairs, the smoke drifting away like lingering sorrow.

He recalled Ji Zi's railgun and Yang Xiansheng's fabricated Black Hole…

First, fire a super‑long‑range railgun at Sukuna; that blast's power would likely overwhelm any carbon‑based life. Sukuna now uses Fu Hekui's body, still immortal yet crippled. San Yue Qi's freezing technique should be similar to Li Mei's; if useful, then employ Yang Xiansheng's Black Hole—

"Zoned out?" Jia Ru Xiao Zi waved at Ri Xia Bu Du Ye, "What are you thinking?"

Ri Xia Bu Du Ye only then realized the cigarette at his mouth had burned out.

He tossed the butt to the ground and stomped it out, then rose slowly.

"Nothing… maybe just a fleeting fantasy before the big battle."

Pela exclaimed in surprise, "They rushed in!"

Beside her, Bu Luo Ni Ya's eyes widened in shock, "They actually charged into the Rift themselves—whether it's overconfidence or courting doom, Mother's judgment was right…"

"Should we report them as missing or dead?" Pela asked.

"…," after hesitating, Bu Luo Ni Ya decided to continue the pursuit, "No, the Great Guardian's order is to capture the criminals; we can't abandon the chase just because they fled into the sealed zone. Whether dead or alive, I must witness it myself."

"All I can do now is cut down the villains threatening Bei Luo Bo Ge."

On the other side, San Yue Qi's party had successfully evaded the Iron Guard's pursuit and arrived at a strange alley in Bei Luo Bo Ge. The alley was silent and empty, save for the Rift‑born creations scattered about.

"Ha! See, they didn't follow! Freedom!" San Yue Qi exclaimed triumphantly, "Serves them right! Haha, they're centuries too early to catch us!"

"The Silver‑mane Iron Guard was caught off‑guard; they'll catch up soon, so let's stick to the road first." Dan Heng, now calm, surveyed the surroundings and pointed to an empty corridor nearby.
