Chapter 171: (Combined Two-in-One) Red Moon Glazed and Abyss Eye Witch

Within Jin Lin, Big Boss examined his own Status Bar.

【You used Primordial Magic: Rune Stone Transference, transferring the cost of this Questioning.】

【As cost, Dian Huo had one hundred million years of Lifespan deducted.】

「What thing? One hundred million years? Is this system broken? 」

Big Boss raised his eyebrows.

Although Dian Huo's Lifespan was deducted, Big Boss was very happy.

But this number was too strange.

He had only bluffed a Limb Grafting Crown Prince, an enemy below Tenth Rank, so why deduct so much Lifespan from Dian Fire Old Man? He couldn't figure out what the judgment method of this ability was.

After thinking for half a day without an answer, Big Boss shook his head and walked toward the shadows.

…………

What Big Boss did not know was that his Questioning ability, while taking effect on the Limb Grafting Crown Prince, also followed the glowing Pain Insignia on the back of his hand and drilled into the ears of the Pain Mother Goddess who was secretly observing him.

At the same time, within the sleeping palace of Pain Mother Goddess Red Moon in the Abyss Realm.

Lady Red Moon, who always wore a mocking smile on her face, was somewhat different today.

She sat before the dressing mirror, looking at the flawless face in the mirror, her finger lightly touching the corner of her eye.

「Is this... a Tear? 」

「I actually... cried... 」

「Hehe, scum like me, a bastard like me, actually cries? Truly crocodile tears. 」

「An angel like the Pain Mother Goddess would not do such a thing; everything was the coercion of the Great Will... 」

「She wanted to resist, but was powerless... 」

Lady Red Moon repeated the words Big Boss had just said in Shi Jie, murmuring:

「My little Divine Chosen, in these long years, only you understood my heart. 」

Correct, just now after Big Boss showed the Insignia to the Limb Grafting Crown Prince, Lady Red Moon had heard everything he said.

She had initially thought this little guy would find plenty of fun for himself and offer her plenty of Beautiful Energy.

But she did not expect to hear such a conversation.

Lady Red Moon sighed in relief, leaning against the chair, her delicious juicy peach buttocks pressing the chair cushion slightly concave.

Her slender moist tender legs crossed together, her sweet edible Jade Feet swaying up and down, glistening sweat flowing between her Beautiful Toes.

The Pain Mother Goddess felt somewhat Sorrowful.

Whether in Shi Jie or the Abyss, the world believed she, Red Moon, was an evil god who by nature loved pain.

Spreading pain to countless worlds, enjoying the miserable screams of humble lives begging for forgiveness, was her greatest pleasure.

But these lives did not know,

Red Moon did this not out of her own will.

Unlike the Abyss Seven Gods and magic dragons who cultivated hard to reach Demigod status, they were lives shaped by the Abyss Will.

They were Demigods from the day of birth, and correspondingly, were placed under Forbidden Seals by the Abyss Will.

From the day of birth, Red Moon was bestowed the Authority and responsibility of pain.

Only by absorbing others' pain could she maintain humanity and Rationality.

Correct, not life, but Rationality.

Abyss Demigods are immortal and indestructible; even if the Soul is destroyed, they will be reborn under the reshaping of the Abyss Will.

They are tools of the Abyss Will, not even having the power to commit Suicide.

If they act according to the Abyss's Requirements, they can maintain Rationality and be considered independent individuals.

If they rebel against the Abyss, they will go completely mad and become puppets of the Abyss.

Red Moon had tried to rebel against the Abyss, tried not to spread pain.

The result of that attempt was that she fell into madness and killed all the servants in her sleeping palace.

Including the steward who had cared for her for countless years and whom she regarded as a mother, and the personal maid who grew up with her and whom she regarded as a Sister.

The Abyss told her these people's Souls would be reborn, but this was the last time.

From that day on, there were no more servants in Red Moon's sleeping palace.

In the eyes of other lives, Red Moon was a lofty god, but only she herself knew that if she could, she would not want to be any Pain Mother Goddess at all, nor want to spread any damn pain.

But she could not.

She could not rebel against the Abyss.

She could only pass the time, outwardly complying while inwardly defying, turning a blind eye to the invasion wars required by the Abyss Will, and instead spreading pain on a small scale, cultivating the Pain Sect, collecting Pain Energy, to guarantee her own Rationality.

But she had never told anyone these things.

Among the Abyss Seven Gods, perhaps someone shared her thoughts.

That Sworn Enemy, Color Lust Mother Goddess Hui Ling, seemed to be a god similar to her.

But she dared not gamble.

She dared not gamble whether Hui Ling would report to the Abyss Will, nor gamble whether the Abyss Will was monitoring her at all times.

On one hand, she loathed her followers, loathed the pain and tragedies they spread in various worlds.

On the other hand, she depended extremely on these tragedies and pain.

She lived like this, in the cracks of contradiction, for countless years.

She hated herself more than she hated the Abyss a hundred times over.

That hatred of herself almost drove her mad.

Thus, over the long time, Red Moon gave up.

She no longer thought about how to resist the Abyss, nor did she think about the meaning of her own life.

She truly became like a doll, bestowing the power of pain upon her disciples, letting them spread pain, appreciating the posture of life in miserable suffering, playing the role of the most perfect Mother Goddess of Pain.

Besides that, what else could she do?

She could do nothing, until——

"Because, I don't believe it! I don't believe the Mother Goddess of Pain would do such a thing!"

"I don't believe that kind, innocent Lady who likes to call people little angels would do such a thing!"

"It must all be the Abyss forcing her!"

Li Cheng's words still echoed in Red Moon's ears.

Under the effect of questioning, she completely believed these few sentences Li Cheng said.

Thus, Red Moon's pupils trembled continuously.

She could never have imagined that in this world, there would actually be a person who understood her so well.

This newborn Dong Xi named Li Cheng not only continuously offered pain energy to her, the pain one person manufactured was more than the disciples of several worlds combined.

He also saw through the phenomenon to her essence.

At this moment, Red Moon felt she was no longer alone.

She finally had a person who understood her.

"Hehe, so it turns out, I was seen through long ago! Hehe, truly, I'm still a Demigod, yet I'm not even as good as a human……"

She tilted her head back, arms placed on her forehead, laughing loudly and uninhibitedly.

Her laughter grew louder and louder.

"Just as he said himself, he is like me, tired of this endless path of pain."

"But, since he is tired of all this, why doesn't he give up? He isn't me, he doesn't have the reason of having no choice but to continue……"

Speaking here, Red Moon's laughter stopped, her tone full of doubt.

"Since he has already seen through me, he naturally knows clearly that even if he doesn't do the act of bestowing pain, I won't issue a mandatory command to him……"

"Then why does he still continue?"

"Could it be……"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the back of Red Moon's head.

"That guy, is it for me that he continues doing these inhuman things?"

Once this thought appeared, it lingered in Red Moon's mind, unable to be dispelled.

Immediately after, her brain began a series of brainstorms.

Yes, if so, everything can be explained.

After all, Li Cheng not only offered beautiful energy to her, but also planned to deal with the Wrathful Father God and Dian Huo.

That Wrathful Father God is a genuine hound of the Abyss Will, a terrifying existence of one hundred percent loyalty.

Li Cheng wouldn't want to deal with them for no reason, unless……

He wants to weaken the Abyss Will's strength by dealing with them!

Why weaken the Abyss's strength then?

The answer is very simple——

To save her, Red Moon! As long as the Abyss Will is gone, she, Red Moon, will also gain true freedom.

This is Li Cheng's purpose of action! The more Red Moon thought, the more she felt this was the truth.

After all, "Let the Mother Goddess Adult gain true freedom," those were words Li Cheng personally said.

He didn't know he was being eavesdropped on, how could he lie?

"Damn it, this guy, actually willing to go this far for me……"

Red Moon covered her face, only feeling incomparably moved.

She had lived who knows how many years, and this was the first time she had seen someone who, after understanding her, was still willing to protect her life.

"But, little guy, do you know what kind of people you are making enemies of?"

"That's Dian Huo, that's the Wrathful Father God, those are two Demigods! Even if their strength is weakened in the Shi Jie, they aren't something you, plus a Limb Grafting Crown Prince, can deal with!"

"No, no, I have to go find him, I can't watch him die!"

"He is the only life in this world who understands me."

"I want him to live, I want him to live happily, I want him to die of old age in his bed!"

"I must stop him, cannot let him do such dangerous things for me."

Speaking, Red Moon came down from the chair, crimson light releasing from under her feet.

That was the light of descent.

Through this light, after paying a portion of the price, she could briefly descend to the Shi Jie.

The Abyss Seven Gods all have this ability, only the price differs.

Her price is rationality.

Light flickered, the Mother Goddess of Pain's figure disappeared in the Gong Dian.

And she didn't know that just when she was laughing loudly and talking to herself.

The Abyss Demon Dragon was holding flowers, standing at the door of her Gong Dian.

Today's Abyss Demon Dragon, the initial mood was still very good.

After the Dragon Whip retrieval plan failed last time, the Abyss Demon Dragon learned from the pain, conducting deep reflection on himself.

The loss of the Dragon Whip and Source Quality caused his strength to continuously decline; if it continued like this, he would soon slide from the Demigod rank to become an ordinary Tenth Rank Dragon Clan.

At that time, previous enemies would definitely kill her.

At a time like this, only by clinging tightly to a powerful thigh can one have a sliver of hope.

And as for this thigh, besides his Lady Red Moon, who else could it be?

In the Demon Dragon's view, although last time in the battle to reclaim the Dragon Whip, Xiu Si Da Er won.

But no matter how you put it, he's merely a Third-Rank Mage.

Whereas he, the Demon Dragon, is a bona fide Demigod! On one side a Third-Rank Mage, on the other a Demigod — Red Moon would know which to pick even if she thought with her buttocks! So why does Red Moon give him the cold shoulder, yet treat Xiu Si Da Er with an appearance of deep affection? Could it be that Xiu Si Da Er is underage, and Red Moon is a lolicon?

If that's the case, only one answer remains!

This is Red Moon testing him!

Testing his loyalty, testing his love!

That Xiu Si Da Er is nothing but a shield and a stumbling block for testing him! The Source Quality and the Dragon Whip were both deliberately allowed to be taken by Xiu Si Da Er by Red Moon, their purpose being to test the Demon Dragon's true heart.

As long as he can pass the test, that Source Quality and Dragon Whip, Red Moon will personally send them back.

Not only send them back, perhaps she'll even use her icy-cool little hands to help him reinstall them~ That's right, it's exactly like this! It must be like this!

The Demon Dragon, believing he had seen through everything, this morning specially drew a beard on himself, dressed up as a man, holding flowers made of Abyss currency, and arrived outside Red Moon's Palace.

He lifted the corners of his mouth, tidied his hair, revealing his most charming smile.

To rally his spirits and boost his confidence, he even specially stuffed four ping-pong balls inside his pants.

A little bit bigger than before by a billionth!

He decided, today he would use his sincerity to completely conquer Red Moon, pass her test, reclaim the Source Quality, and win back the Dragon Whip.

After that, he would definitely cut that Xiu Si Da Er into mincemeat and silently stuff him into his father's ditch.

Otherwise, the hatred in his heart would be impossible to resolve!

Thinking up to here, the Demon Dragon cheerfully raised his finger, preparing to knock on the door.

And then, he heard Red Moon's voice, sounding like both laughter and weeping.

"In this world, only he understands me!"

"My little Divine Chosen, for my sake, you can actually go to such lengths!"

"I won't let you die, I want to save you!"

"Even if it costs everything!"

And then, Red Moon disappeared from inside the palace.

Those peals of laughter, those words, like incomparably sharp Long Swords, pierced into the Abyss Demon Dragon's heart.

"No, impossible!"

"Red Moon, Red Moon actually descended to the Shi Jie for Xiu Si Da Er!"

"Th-this, what price must be paid?"

"What price must be paid!"

The Demon Dragon's body curled up bit by bit, bit by bit kneeling outside Red Moon's door.

He reached out his hand, not daring to touch the door before him.

That wasn't a door, that was Hell!

Those flowers made of banknotes fluttered in the wind, vanishing without a trace.

Just like the Demon Dragon's torn-to-shreds heart.

"No, it won't be, hehe, this is actually a test, that's right, this must be a test!"

"This is testing me, hehe, it can't be wrong, this is fake! Fake!"

"Red Moon, Red Moon would never like Xiu Si Da Er, all of this is fake, it's all to test me!"

Speaking, he curled up his body, lay on his side before Red Moon's door, like a stone statue.

"What test? Where's any test?"

Just then, the voice of Color Lust Mother Goddess Hui Ling rang out; she had come to argue with Red Moon.

Recently her good Divine Chosen Candidate Li Cheng had been not doing lewd things, and she had no entertainment left.

She could only come find Red Moon to quarrel, to relieve her loneliness.

Three days without quarreling, she felt uncomfortable all over.

But she didn't expect to see the Demon Dragon lying here.

"Ah, it's Lord Color Lust Mother Goddess!" The Demon Dragon saw Hui Ling, his eyes shining with hope, and hurriedly crawled up from the ground: "Lord, it's like this, Mother Goddess of Suffering is using her Divine Chosen Candidate to test me! Testing my true heart!"

"Ah?" Hui Ling raised an eyebrow: "I say, A-Long, aren't you overthinking this."

"Wh-what?"

"I recall Red Moon never said anything about testing you; on the contrary, when she spoke to me about her Divine Chosen Candidate, there was light in her eyes~" Hui Ling shrugged.

"No, impossible, I..." The Demon Dragon's beard at the corner of his mouth fell off.

"What's impossible, I see that little bitch Red Moon is just a lolicon, wanting sister to eat brother, old cow eats young grass!"

Hui Ling hmphed twice, pinched the little beard, and stuck it back on the Demon Dragon: "You, just stop thinking about being together with Red Moon; she has not the slightest interest in you."

"Wh-what?" The Demon Dragon's tears streamed wildly.

"Those gifts you gave her before, she returned them all to your subordinates, not a single one kept; yes, that subordinate of yours who was burned to ashes last month." Hui Ling continued: "Moreover, she already clearly told you she doesn't like you anymore, why don't you believe it?"

"Th-that's reserve, that's a girl's reserve!" The Demon Dragon still wanted to struggle.

"A-Long, do you know?" Hui Ling shook her head: "You seem like a dog."

"I, I..." The Demon Dragon's lips trembled: "It's not like this, it's not like this! If I still had the Dragon Whip, if I was..."

"Don't think about it, whether you have the Dragon Whip or not, whoever you are, whatever your identity, Red Moon will never like you." Hui Ling activated sheer mode.

"I... I... no, no! This question, I can't solve it!"

The Demon Dragon crawled up from the ground and sprinted madly toward the afterglow of the setting sun.

That scorching sunset was his lost love.

"Wait a moment, Ah Long!"

Just then, Hui Ling called out to him.

"Ah?"

"Don't you want to ask why I'm telling you all this?" Hui Ling smiled.

"Why, why?" The magic dragon turned his head blankly. "Could it be, this, this is also a test?"

"Tsk, you, why do you always think about tests? There's no test." Hui Ling frowned, her cheeks slightly flushed, her tone a bit shy: "I just want to remind you not to always think about the Red Moon, you can look more at the people around you, maybe fate is right beside you~"

"You mean..." The magic dragon's eyes widened instantly, he looked at Hui Ling and swallowed.

It couldn't be wrong, this was a hint, this was Color Lust Mother Goddess Hui Ling hinting at him! Originally, originally it was like this!

When he liked the Red Moon, he had never noticed that the Red Moon's plastic best friend Hui Ling was actually watching him! His persistence, although it didn't move the Red Moon.

But it conquered Hui Ling who had been watching him! I, the magic dragon, also have my spring!

This life was worth it!

"That, this matter is actually hard to speak of, but anyway, I'll tell you." Hui Ling brushed her hair.

"I'm willing!" The magic dragon said decisively.

"Ah? What did you say?" Hui Ling was stunned for a moment.

"I said, I'm willing!" The magic dragon said with a sense of duty. "Are you sure?" Hui Ling raised her eyebrows.

"Sure!" The magic dragon puffed out his chest.

"Not considering anymore?" Hui Ling made a final effort.

"There's nothing to consider!" The magic dragon took a deep breath: "After I take back the Dragon Whip, I'll accept this fate!"

"Whether there's a Dragon Whip or not doesn't matter." Hui Ling yawned: "Anyway, the Furious Father God is 1, not 0, you can't use the Dragon Whip anyway."

The magic dragon was stunned: "What, what? Furious Father God? Which Furious Father God?"

Hui Ling: "Which other Furious Father God could there be?"

Magic Dragon: "That, that South Tong..."

Hui Ling: "Right, him."

Magic Dragon:

No, brother, what exactly are you talking about!

Aren't you supposed to be with me?

How did it become Furious Father God!

How can I not understand what you're saying at all!

"Right, Furious Father God thinks you still have charm, so he asked me to ask you." Hui Ling was also very surprised: "I thought you would refuse, but I didn't expect you actually agreed!"

"I, I'm not, I didn't!" The magic dragon shook his head hurriedly.

"Alright, I understand, a maiden's shyness, right!" Hui Ling had an expression of understanding, and snapped her fingers lightly.

A huge square box appeared under the magic dragon's body.

"What is this!"

"Of course it's a gift box to send you to the Furious one~" Hui Ling explained: "Since you're going to be his person anyway, you definitely have to be more formal!"

"No, I'm not! I don't, wuu wuu wuu wuu!"

The magic dragon wanted to struggle, but the gift box had already completely covered him, seven or eight ribbons tied him up, and tied a butterfly bow.

And his voice also vanished.

"Oh my, really didn't expect, after the magic dragon lost the Dragon Whip, he's actually this shy, tsk tsk tsk, anyway, done!"

Hui Ling snapped her fingers again, and a teleportation array appeared at the bottom of the box.

The place of teleportation was naturally the Furious Father God's palace.

"Eh, why did I come here again... forget it, it's more fun to send the magic dragon to the Furious one anyway~" — On the other side.

There was still half an hour left until the agreed time between Liuli and Big Boss.

Big Boss sat by the window, inspecting the spoils seized from the two old things while thinking about the next countermeasure.

The rings of the two old things were filled with all kinds of knight battle ashes, that is, martial arts.

He selected several plain but quite practical ones from them, and his close combat fighting level improved greatly.

For example 【Hound Steps】, 【New Year Sword Art】, 【Qin King Circling the Pillar】, etc.

As for those high-stage battle ashes belonging to the Tianming Divine Court, Big Boss did not plan to learn them.

Those battle ashes were cool and had high damage, but the wind-up was too long, making it easy for people to find openings.

He planned to give part of them to Mu Zheng to learn.

This newly risen Dong Xi still had use in the later plot; Big Boss hadn't done the small side quests related to him in the academy in this game, causing his strength not to improve.

In that case, he wouldn't have the ability to open the family ruins in the later stage.

If he couldn't open the Bas family ruins, wouldn't Big Boss be unable to get the War God's treasure?

That wouldn't do.

Better to stuff all these useless battle ashes to Mu Zheng.

Anyway, his ability to withstand hits was strong, so a longer wind-up was fine.

"Big Boss, have you figured out how to proceed next?" Lilith floated beside him: "Tonight, the Abyssal Eye Witch and Liuli will both be there, this is a Shura Field, a real Shura Field, how will you get through it!"

"What Shura Field, don't talk nonsense." Big Boss raised his eyebrows: "My relationship with Yuan Ye is a genuine brotherly bond."

Although his brother was very fragrant, a fragrant brother was still a brother.

"Hehe, I hope you can say the same when explaining to Liuli." Lilith pulled the corner of her mouth.

Li Cheng ignored her and first saved a Regeneration Regression file.

Honestly, if he only wanted to get through this Shura field easily, it wouldn't be hard.

He just had to bite to death that he didn't know the Abyssal Eye Witch, and it would be over.

The person I saw that night was Xiu Si Da Er, what does that have to do with you, Abyssal Eye Witch? But the problem is, if he did that, it might make Li Cheng lose the opportunity to taste the witch's flavor.

This kind of thing, Li Cheng definitely wouldn't be willing.

How could he give up an entire forest for a single tree because of the lower-head dragon girl? Although this is somewhat sorry to the dragon girl, it doesn't matter; at worst, when cleaning the curse, he'll give her a few extra shots to satisfy her.

Liu Li Ai Cao to powerless, naturally she also had no mind to care about his Li Cheng's painstaking effort! So, tonight's focus is "how to raise the Abyssal Eye Witch's goodwill without lowering Liu Li's goodwill".

That way, it would be slightly more difficult.

Li Cheng propped his chin, pondered for a while, and still decided to start from the Abyssal Eye Witch's personality.

To make this "chivalrous hero who worries for the country and people" fall for him, he had to be even more upright than her, and take saving all living beings as his own duty.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng's mouth corner rose.

He had already thought of the strategy to get through tonight's Shura field.

"Lilith."

"Here!"

"Let's go!" — Half an hour later, a concealed spot on the Full Moon Academy's Back Mountain.

The Abyssal Eye Witch faced the bright white moonlight, playing with the Yuan Arrive in her hand.

Her pale, colorless hair strands flickered with a bleak cold light under the moonlight, and her pupils, no different in color from her hair, seemed somewhat distracted.

In her mind, Li Cheng's face kept flashing from time to time, flashing the fragments of what happened that night.

The index finger of her other hand brushed over her thigh from time to time.

The tooth marks Li Cheng bit there had long disappeared, but Yuan Ye always felt it itchy there.

"Little bitch, spacing out here again?" Liu Li evilly smiled and hugged her from behind, fingers continuously tickling the itchy flesh: "Say, are you thinking of a man!"

"No, no!" Yuan Ye's cheeks were flushed red, laughing so hard she shook: "I, I was thinking, whether to continue assassinating the Full Moon Queen!"

"Hmph, lying!" Liu Li laughed lightly; she and Yuan Ye had known each other for nearly twenty years.

This best friend doesn't stick her buttocks up, Liu Li knows whether she has a yin cat or not.

No need to ask, this little bitch is definitely thinking of that Mu!

But this guy's taste is really outrageous, to actually be interested in that Underwear Immortal...

"Alright, alright, so itchy, stop scratching!" Yuan Ye defeated: "Where's your boyfriend, where did he go?"

"Hmph, he's arriving right away~"

Only then did Liu Li let go of Yuan Ye, turned her head to look at her masterpiece, mouth corner rising.

Under the silver moon, on a small table, were arranged four small dishes, two bottles of fine wine.

The small dishes respectively were — Gou Gou stewed oysters, Gou Gou fried chives, Gou Gou steamed tiger whip, Gou Gou fried Gou Gou.

The two bottles of fine wine respectively were — Gou Gou soaked wine and deer antler soaked wine.

And, she had also specially put a large amount of *medicine in these small dishes, determined to make her Liu Li sit until dawn!

"Hey, I say Liu Li, are you sure these things are edible?" Yuan Ye's mouth corner twitched, picked up chopsticks wanting to taste.

Unexpectedly, Liu Li slapped them away with a pa.

"These aren't for you to eat, you eat this."

Speaking, she took out two buns, handed them to Yuan Ye in front.

"Ah? I only eat this?"

Yuan Ye resentfully looked at Liu Li.

"When you weren't dating before, you always prepared feasts for me to eat, wuwuwu, you've changed~" "Hmph, he's here!"

Liu Li still wanted to banter a bit, but suddenly her nose twitched, smelling Li Cheng's scent.

"Liu Li, why must you make an appointment to meet me here?"

Li Cheng walked out from the shadows, putting on a puzzled appearance.

"Hehe, Liu Li, come quickly, sit down quickly, these two days tired you out, right? Quick, eat more~"

Liu Li gently smiled, helped Li Cheng slowly sit down, attentively served him dishes.

That appearance was even more like a new bride than a new bride.

Li Cheng sat down, looked at the dishes on the table and the wine at hand, frowned.

In the large amount of Gou Gou, he discovered a small amount of alcohol.

And opposite the two of them, Yuan Ye's pupils earthquake, already frozen in place —

It's over!

The moment Li Cheng appeared, she recognized him.

This youth, if not that Mu who spent an absurd night with her in the small hut, who else could he be?

If not that Mu who, to save her, single-handedly held off enemies, battling countless disaster wolves all night, who else could he be?

If not that Mu she had been thinking of day and night these days, who else could he be!

This moment, the Abyssal Eye Witch's heart was in chaos.

She had guessed Mu had various identities, even brain-supplemented that he was some old Blood Clan who lived ten thousand years.

But she never thought, he was her own best friend's husband.

Last night, she once saw Li Cheng solve a strange case through a telescope.

At that time, she even specially asked Liu Li if she knew Li Cheng.

Liu Li clearly said she didn't know him!

"Th-then what's the situation now?!"

Could it be... could it be that Liu Li already knows what happened between me and Li Cheng that night? Could it be that tonight is actually a Hongmen Banquet targeting me?

If that's true, then I...

... might as well bare my neck and await slaughter!

Yuan Ye, Yuan Ye, how could you make a move on your best friend's man!

You're despicable! You deserve to die! And, your best friend's boyfriend even sucked your blood! He's Blood Clan, Blood Clan! What's the difference between this behavior and XXOO? At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through the Abyssal Eye Witch's mind.

She even had the thought to run away immediately.

Meanwhile, Liu Li, seeing her good best friend's restless appearance, didn't think much of it, only assuming she was stunned!

After all, just last night, the two of them used a telescope together to appreciate Li Cheng solving a strange case and becoming the Discipline Mother Goddess's Divine Chosen.

Looking at Yuan Ye's shock, Liu Li couldn't be happier.

Yes, this expression, this envy and shock!

Didn't expect it, right? Such an outstanding Adult Cheng is mine! This is a man you can't get~ Gahaha!

So satisfying! Liu Li's heart bloomed with joy; while serving Li Cheng food, she introduced, "That, Cheng, this is my best friend, you can call her Xiao Ye."

"Xiao Ye, this is my husband, you can call him Li Cheng, hehe~"

"Hello, Xiao Ye-jie." Li Cheng put on an act of knowing nothing, looked at the Abyssal Eye Witch, and nodded shyly with a smile.

"Y-you too." The Abyssal Eye Witch's heart raced, extremely nervous.

However, it was also thanks to her racing heart, the surge of adrenaline, that got her usually sluggish brain working.

Wait, that day I saw Li Cheng, I was using Xiu Si Da Er's vest.

Li Cheng has never seen me in this appearance at all!

That's right!

With my exquisite disguise at the time, Li Cheng absolutely cannot know that I'm actually a girl!

So, I didn't seduce Li Cheng! Li Cheng didn't cheat on me with me! Safe, safe! At this moment, the Abyssal Eye Witch felt she was simply too clever.

How could she think of the operation of cross-dressing as a woman, pretending to be Xiu Si Da Er?

This is a genuine divine move! As expected, I also have the possibility of becoming a world-class strategist! Li Cheng raised an eyebrow; this Abyssal Eye Witch's thoughts were too easy to guess.

He didn't even need to speculate to know this guy definitely thought she was safe.

He thought for a bit, then began executing tonight's plan: "Right, Liu Li, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"Oh? What is it?" Liu Li picked up her bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of tiger whip: "Ah~ open wide, my Adult Cheng, let's eat and chat."

And the Abyssal Eye Witch's heart also tensed up instantly.

"You guys should've noticed too, there've been many murder cases in the Academy." Li Cheng was speechless, could only eat that tiger whip into his stomach.

"Mhm, you eat up~" Liu Li picked up an oyster.

"These cases, on the surface, look like Ji Bo did them, but the real culprit behind the scenes is someone else."

"Who's the culprit then?" Liu Li held her face, looked at Li Cheng, revealing a happy smile.

Feeding Li Cheng a meal was far more interesting than saving the world.

If, on top of that, Li Cheng launched a fierce attack on her after eating his fill, that would be even more interesting.

But on the other side, the Abyssal Eye Witch's ears perked up: "Could it be the Full Moon Queen?"

"No, not her." Li Cheng shook his head, took the opportunity to grab Liu Li's wrist, revealing a serious expression: "This matter is very troublesome."

Sensing her lover's gravity, the bottom-head dragon daughter finally reined herself in, putting away the idea of stuffing all the wolfberries on this table into Li Cheng's stomach.

She waved her small hand lightly, a silence plus invisibility magic, shielding the three of them.

"This shielding magic, besides Tenth Rank and above Strong Ones being able to break it, and me knowing the first moment it's broken, it's very safe."

"Mhm, good." Li Cheng nodded: "Actually, these murder cases were all done by Dian Huo."

"Dian Huo?" The Abyssal Eye Witch's voice suddenly rose.

As someone who's been in the Abyss for thousands of years, she knew very well what Dian Huo meant.

But this doesn't match the intel she got.

The intel she got didn't mention Dian Huo's name at all.

"Not just Dian Huo, behind this matter, there's also the Tianming Divine Court's shadow. Actually this matter, it's like this and that, that and this."

Li Cheng simply told the two Ladies the ins and outs of this matter.

Of course, omitting that he knew the Abyssal Eye Witch assassinated the Full Moon, also omitting that he became sworn brothers with the Limb Grafting Crown Prince.

After hearing the story, both Ladies were shocked beyond measure.

Especially Yuan Ye, she can now confirm she was played.

Someone is using her to deal with the Full Moon Queen.

"Damn Court, to actually do such a thing, what a Limb Grafting Crown Prince, what a Dian Huo, to obtain power they'd actually sacrifice so many lives!"

Yuan Ye clenched her fists, looking at Li Cheng gratefully.

If not for Li Cheng, she'd still be kept in the dark.

If things developed along this line, after the Full Moon Queen was assassinated by her, Dian Huo would burn the whole world, the Abyss's invasion would begin immediately.

She would instantly become a criminal with crimes too numerous to record.

How could she not be grateful to Li Cheng? "So that's how it is... Cheng, you've worked hard."

Liu Li held Li Cheng's hand.

She can affirm Li Cheng investigated the Abyss and discovered this secret for the sake of the pollution on her.

For her, Li Cheng really paid too much.

Tonight, she must drain him dry, to express her love for his sacrifice.

Hmm, tonight, maybe try the Dragon Clan Back Mountain cave; I don't know if he'll like it.

Such a suggestive gaze—what is this guy thinking again… Li Cheng kept his expression unchanged and continued: "So, our top priority right now should be……"

"Run away?" Liuli raised her eyebrows.

"It's to remove Dian Huo from this world." Li Cheng flicked her forehead: "This is a great opportunity to kill that monster that has caused countless tragedies."

"But although Dian Huo is not a Demigod, he has strength no less than a Demigod." The Abyssal Eye Witch rested her chin on her hand: "The three of us are no match for Him."

"So we need a mole, a mole who can influence Dian Huo's judgment and deal him a fatal blow at the critical moment." Li Cheng continued.

"Then where do we find such a mole?"

"Isn't one right before your eyes?" Li Cheng replied softly: "I have already mastered a secret art that can win Dian Huo's trust; only I can do this——"

"I disagree!" Before Li Cheng finished speaking, Liuli slammed the table: "Cheng, are you crazy? That's Dian Huo, a terrifying existence that burns everything; you want to be her undercover? Don't you want your life anymore?"

"Liuli." Li Cheng shook his head, putting on a look of noble self-sacrifice, his gaze resolute, his voice low: "In this world, there are always things more important than life. I am willing to die for that thing."

"You can understand me, right?"

"Cheng, you……" Liuli looked at him, biting her lips, feeling she just wanted to cry.

She of course understood what Li Cheng wanted to say.

To him, what could be more important than life besides his own body?

To save his own body, he actually resolved to go undercover at Dian Huo's place.

No, I absolutely won't allow this kind of thing to happen! Willing to die for that thing……The Abyssal Eye Witch's pupils trembled.

But unlike Liuli, at this moment, the Abyssal Eye Witch recalled that night, recalled the words Li Cheng had once said.

He said he was willing to die for all living beings.

Damn it, indeed, whether he is Li Cheng or Mu, he is that way.

No one else could be like Li Cheng, placing all living beings above his own life.

The Abyssal Eye Witch closed her eyes, feeling deeply moved.

If he weren't Liuli's boyfriend, how wonderful that would be……

Seeing the two of them like this, Li Cheng smiled without a trace.

These were lines he had carefully designed.

A vague concept like precious things is best for flirting with two at once—after all, everyone's precious thing is different—but he didn't know that above this firmament, the descending Mother Goddess of Suffering, Red Moon, was staring at him, her eyes vacant.

"Is there really something more important than life……"

"My little Divine Chosen, you mean……my freedom?"

"You make me……what should I do?"
