Chapter 1716: Coming to the Door

Wu Bo's background was not great to begin with, and having worked in this place called Fusang for decades, asking him to go back now is simply harder than taking his old life.

But such an old man, having silently worked for his country his whole life, shouldn't he be able to have a peaceful end in his twilight years?

If he were in this place, Chen Yu felt there would be danger.

"Hehe, it's fine. Seeing generation after generation of young people grow up here, I'm quite happy too," Wu Bo said with a chuckle. "Eat your food, let's not talk about anything else."

"Is the boss in?" Just at this moment, a voice came from the doorway.

"Coming." Wu Bo put down the things in his hands. He was a bit puzzled; usually at this hour, people didn't come to the shop, so why was someone here now?

"I'll go, Wu Bo." Chen Yu's heart tightened, and he stopped Wu Bo because he felt a trace of Demon Power permeating the air.

Chen Yu was no stranger to this Demon Power; it was Jiutun's. It seemed that since he had wiped out his hideout and beheaded his five Red-robed Archbishops, this guy finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"No need, you don't understand the shop's business, I'll go," Wu Bo said with a chuckle.

"Wu Bo, the person who came is looking for me. You and Zhao Ping should not show yourselves." Chen Yu stopped him, then stood up.

"Coming for you? Chen Yu, what is going on? Did you make enemies here?" Zhao Ping was slightly stunned. He also felt that something was wrong with Chen Yu and hurriedly stood up.

"Are there few enemies I have here?" Chen Yu said with a chuckle. "Rest assured, do you think I can't handle this kind of thing?"

"Alright then." Zhao Ping thought about it, and it was true; with Chen Yu's strength, was there anyone in this island nation he needed to fear?

Without further insistence, he let Chen Yu go to the front.

When Chen Yu arrived at the shop, he saw a handsome man admiring the items in the store.

This man was overly handsome, to the point that he looked somewhat eerie, and Chen Yu had met him once before; this guy was Jiutun, whom he had fought previously.

Only this time, he had changed into normal people's clothes, and that massive Gourd was not on his person either.

"Why did you come?" Chen Yu asked.

"Haha, you wiped out my place and killed five of my Bishops in a row; isn't that just forcing me to show myself?" Jiutun gave a chuckle. "If I didn't come, who knows what else you might do."

"This isn't your style of doing things." Chen Yu glanced at Jiutun and smiled slightly. "The Jiutun I know is not quite like you."

"A guy who calls himself a god having his actions controlled by others, that's a bit hard to believe."

"Don't hold such great hostility toward me. I didn't come here to seek revenge on you." Jiutun found a seat and sat down, then looked up at Chen Yu. "I came to find you because there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"You have some things you want to discuss with me?" Chen Yu truly looked flattered. "Don't be like this, it makes me feel like I can't handle it."

"What could you not handle?" Jiutun looked at Chen Yu and gave a scoffing laugh. "Mr. Chen, we originally had no conflict of interest, so I don't think there is any need for us to be so tense. That isn't good for you or for me."

"We indeed have no conflict of interest between us," Chen Yu nodded. "But your actions seem to defy the Heavenly Dao, so I cannot sit idly by."

"My behavior is indeed somewhat against the heavens, and I also feel that someone like me will naturally be reaped by the heavens, but why must that person be you?" Jiutun slowly raised his head to look at Chen Yu. "I feel that we shouldn't be on opposite sides."

"Don't, you being like this makes me unable to handle it." Chen Yu was stunned. Had this guy lost his mind?

"Where is your arrogant posture? Bring it out. You're making me feel a bit embarrassed." Chen Yu smiled and said, "Bring out that 'I am the only one supreme in heaven and on earth' aura."

"Mr. Chen, I came today to make peace with you," Jiutun said. "You are a person with great strength, and I respect you."

"So, let the matters between us end here. From now on, we won't interfere with each other, wouldn't that be good?"

"It would be good, but I know your kind quite well," Chen Yu said. "If you grow stronger one day, you will absolutely not give me a chance."

"Besides, your goal itself is to enslave all of humanity, isn't it? If you succeed one day, the first person you will deal with is me."

"Shouldn't there be basic trust between people? Mr. Chen, do we not even have this bit of trust between us?" Jiutun spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless. "I think you have a misunderstanding about me."

"There should indeed be trust between people, but unfortunately, you are not a person." Chen Yu looked at Jiutun with some pity.

A trace of anger appeared on Jiutun's face; Chen Yu's words were truly hurtful.

But the anger on his face flashed and vanished, and he immediately said with a smile, "Chen Yu, I lowered my status to come and talk to you today, and I am sincere. I hope you will also show your attitude."

"What, do you think I don't know what's good for me?" Chen Yu asked in return.

"I didn't say that." The anger in Jiutun's eyes grew more intense. "But at least you have to let me see your attitude."

"Hahaha." Chen Yu laughed, slowly stood up, and said, "Jiutun, you have always thought of yourself as a god, high and mighty."

"In the time we've been talking, you've already exhausted your patience, haven't you? In your life, have you ever been this stifled?"

Jiutun couldn't help but clench his fists. Indeed, he had never been this stifled in his life.

He had lowered his status, bowed his arrogant head, and was earnestly discussing things with a mortal in a low voice, but this person wouldn't even pay him any mind?

This made Jiutun somewhat unable to bear it; he felt he had never suffered such indignity in his life.

But thinking of his current situation, he had to endure it, because Chen Yu was the stumbling block on his path to growth.

If this stumbling block wasn't moved, he would lose his advantage.

He could feel that the Spiritual Energy of this world was recovering, and the era belonging to the gods was slowly arriving.

He had awakened a step ahead of others, and this was the opportunity Heaven had bestowed upon him.

So no matter what, he had to seize this opportunity. Only then could he leap up from being a third-rate god and potentially even surpass the Main God.

But Chen Yu's appearance made him feel extremely frustrated.

And up to now, Chen Yu still had no intention of talking.

Truth be told, Jiutun was already losing his patience; he felt that this person, Chen Yu, was not giving him any face.

"Chen Yu, my patience has its limits," Jiutun said coldly. "You are rejecting a god."
