Chapter 1373

Fourteen authorities... Was this guy this badass when it was alive?

Looking at the Sheep Offal on the table that had suddenly become unusually well-behaved, even suppressing the reinforced golden light, Li Ang, who was greatly shocked, could not help but subconsciously narrow his eyes.

Seven top-level original sins, seven disasters corresponding to the original sins—this is not the configuration of an "ordinary" Demon God; at the very least, it's heading toward the level of a Demon King. It probably had True God-level combat power even before ascending to godhood, so...

Is it playing the pig to eat the tiger?

"Why do you keep looking at us?"

Being stared at by Li Ang's scrutinizing gaze, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang felt a bit uneasy and couldn't help but mutter:

"In the past, I kept emphasizing that I was a very, very remarkable Great Demon before. It was you who refused to believe it, not me lying."

"..."

That's what you say... but with your usual style of spouting nonsense and bragging about eating a grape as if you'd devoured a watermelon, who knows if you're bragging!

"In short, we seem to have underestimated it a bit in the past."

While Li Ang and the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang were staring at each other, the red-haired director smiled and said:

"Although it lacks 【Envy】 and 【Lust】 now and cannot directly revive, it's best to be a little on guard... Li Ang, don't take them away yet; leave them with me for a few days."

"?!"

After glancing at the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, whose expression had changed drastically, the red-haired director proposed:

"Don't be in such a hurry to go to the Northern Territory for your mission. Wait a couple of days. I'll find a way to add an insurance policy to them. These guys are indeed much stronger after being reinforced. It's best to use some means to control them, lest they cause some big trouble while you're distracted during your mission."

Help me add an insurance policy to the Sheep Offal?

Upon hearing this, Li Ang pondered for a moment, then nodded and accepted the red-haired director's proposal amidst the surprised and angry protests of the Sheep Offal.

Although he had the Demon Badge in hand and wasn't worried about the Sheep Offal losing control, an extra insurance policy was always good. Plus, the Sheep Offal's fourteen authorities were indeed very unusual; it was better to be cautious.

Unfortunately, faced with this happy outcome, there were still those who were dissatisfied.

Seeing that Li Ang didn't care about past feelings at all and directly sold the five of them... five offal to the red-haired stinky woman, the Sheep Offal was suddenly filled with anger and resentment, and they all launched accusations against the treacherous Li Ang.

Sheep Horn: "Bastard! I've been by your side for so many years... days. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard! You just gave me to her like this?"

Sheep Heart: "Human! I am very dissatisfied with your decision!"

Sheep Stomach: "Lord Li Ang! Your actions are truly too cold-hearted! It makes me shudder!"

Sheep Tongue: "No... I've only been here for two days! They were the ones playing tricks on you; what does that have to do with me?"

Sheep Tail: "Scumbag."

"Alright, if you don't want to be sent to the kitchen to be stewed into soup, then be quiet."

Casually pulling out a newspaper and wrapping up the Sheep Offal, which were flashing with golden light on the table, the red-haired director seemed to remember something while looking at the headline "Century Wedding" on the newspaper, and asked casually:

"By the way, how is your wedding going? It's only a few days away, right?"

"..." Oh right, there's still a wedding!

Hearing the red-haired director's inquiry, Li Ang was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized that it was already the end of the month, and in less than a week, he would be married at a young age.

"Looking at you, I'm afraid you haven't prepared much."

After looking at Li Ang's expression, the red-haired director, who was slightly tipsy, rested her chin on her hand and smiled:

"It just so happens that the branch directors assigned by the Bureau to... um... assist you also need to handle their own affairs. It's estimated it will take a few more days for them to arrive. Why don't you just wait another day or two and get married to Princess Veronica first?"

"..."

Get married first before going on the mission...

After hearing this proposal, which could avoid the flag to the greatest extent, Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Although the process was very hasty and felt inexplicably binding, Princess Veronica's deep affection for him was indeed true.

Hmm... it's hard to say how deep the affection is, but at least in the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's soul vision, when she saw him, the gloom in her entire soul would instantly fade, becoming "lively" and "vibrant." This indeed far exceeded the level of mere fondness.

And on his side... it felt less pure than hers.

!.

There was certainly fondness, and it far exceeded the level of ordinary friends. After all, being pursued so actively and passionately, it was impossible not to be moved. And if he really had no feelings at all, he would have refused sternly long ago.

It's just that, in his heart, the most irresistible thing about Princess Veronica didn't seem to be just "love"; it also contained many other things.

Especially on the day of the Aquarius Palace ascension, she told him calmly to go ahead and do what he wanted to do, that she could take care of Anna and the others, and that regardless of whether he could return safely, the wedding on the 3rd of next month would be held as scheduled.

When she said those words seriously, his "sense of security" was instantly maxed out, and he almost surrendered directly. But while he was moved by her promise, it also inevitably made him feel a bit lost.

After all, if Princess Veronica chose him, it was probably more than 80% because of love, but the reason he chose her in return, love might only account for about half.

Besides this portion of "love" that could be determined, the point about the Princess that moved him the most was actually her promise to help him take care of his family. In addition, there was also simple attraction to her beauty, and...

The third heterochromatic badge.

After a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind, Li Ang, filled with shame, opened the badge panel and looked at the 【Prince of Traveling Thrush】 that was slightly glowing with a pearly white color, feeling that he was really not a good person.

According to Princess Veronica's arrangements, the wedding and the succession ceremony were prepared to be held on the same day, and the path for this gold-level 【Prince of Traveling Thrush】 to advance to heterochromatic was to maintain the marriage relationship with her when she inherited the throne.

And this was also the biggest reason why he had hesitated and not completely cut off the connection when his fondness for her was insufficient, and had always refused not thoroughly enough.

After all, as long as he didn't refuse, this gold-level badge, which could demand anyone with a status lower than his own within the territory of the Traveling Thrush Kingdom to take the initiative to salute him, would advance to the heterochromatic badge 【The Man Behind the Queen · Rice White】.

The strength of the heterochromatic badge can be understood by looking at 【Immortal in Wine · Clear Yellow】 and 【Materialist Soul · Crimson】. The former's forced damage immunity had saved him countless times, and the latter was his greatest reliance for being able to walk to this day.

And now, by tacitly accepting this marriage, he could directly obtain the third heterochromatic badge. This... he really couldn't refuse...
