Chapter 1730: Unexpected Turn of Events

"Diehua is merely one of his experimental subjects; his Underworld Envoys can be replicated infinitely. If one dies, a new one will immediately step up to take its place."

Tang Xue smiled slightly and said, "He has more than ten Underworld Envoys, but most of them are failed experiments."

"It is normal for a few to die from time to time, so you don't need to worry about that. I cannot go back yet; I need to figure out exactly where He Tiansheng is."

"Since I have seen you this time, I cannot let you act recklessly anymore. You should return to a normal life," Chen Yu said.

Tang Xue was silent for a moment. After a long while, she smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chen, do you think I can still return to a normal life?"

"Why not? Your sister must miss you very much; she even entrusted someone to ask me how you were doing a while ago," Chen Yu sighed and said. "Your family and friends are actually all very worried about you."

"It is I who failed her. Brother Chen, what happened before was my fault. I don't have any other intentions now; I just want to make it up to you," Tang Xue smiled. "If I leave the God Lord's sight now, it would be equivalent to throwing away all my previous efforts."

"I have sacrificed a great deal while with him, so I beg you not to force me to go back, because if I return now, it would truly be a waste."

"But I am truly worried about you." Deep concern was written on Chen Yu's face.

After Tang Xue repented last time, she had gone undercover by the God Lord's side.

He did not know how Tang Xue had gained the God Lord's trust, but he knew that the process must have been very difficult.

Moreover, being by the God Lord's side was like sleeping next to a tiger; one slight mistake and she would be doomed beyond redemption.

The reason she was like this was partly because of Chen Yu—a result of love turning into hate and her going astray.

Therefore, Chen Yu did not want her to suffer any harm, but seeing how stubborn she was, he feared he had no way to persuade her to turn back.

"Having you worry about me makes me feel very happy," Tang Xue said with a sweet smile. "Brother Chen, you really don't need to worry about me."

"I have been by the God Lord's side for about half a year, and in these six months, I have experienced many things," Tang Xue slowly lowered her head. "And I have also grasped his personality."

"So I am confident that I will not be exposed. Let me try for just one more month; if it really doesn't work, I will withdraw immediately, okay?"

"Although I have never met He Tiansheng, I know he is a man who is self-opinionated and full of suspicion," Chen Yu sighed and said. "He will not truly trust you."

"And a person like that can smile while stabbing a knife into your stomach, so your situation is still extremely dangerous."

"I know, I understand all of this. I weighed the risks before going undercover by his side," Tang Xue said stubbornly. "And I will not be blindly arrogant, because he is the God Lord."

"One cannot afford to underestimate a person who can play with genetic technology to the extreme, so don't worry, I know what to do next."

"Once you have news of him, contact me immediately." Seeing her firm attitude, Chen Yu stopped insisting.

Tang Xue was naturally gifted at going undercover within enemy ranks; otherwise, she would not have stayed by He Tiansheng's side for so long without being discovered.

"Alright, I understand, Brother Chen." Tang Xue smiled slightly and slowly let out a breath; Chen Yu's response had finally put her heart at ease.

The two talked for a long time until the sky began to brighten, and only then did Chen Yu let the boat captain steer the boat away from there.

"Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on? Didn't we come here to scout out the God Lord's lair?" Zhao Ping could not help but ask.

In truth, what he wanted to figure out more was the relationship between Chen Yu and Tang Xue, because the two had hugged each other the moment they met, and their relationship looked somewhat abnormal to say the least.

This guy's gossiping heart ignited, and he tried to find out about the matter through indirect questioning.

"Do you really think the God Lord's residence is that easy to find?" Chen Yu glanced at him. "He has secret laboratories all over the world; trying to find him is harder than ascending to heaven."

"But didn't we receive news that he would appear here?" Zhao Ping asked.

"He only stays in a place for a period of time, and that news was from half a month ago. No one knows exactly where he is now."

Chen Yu said, "So now we have to go back and wait quietly for news."

"Wait for whose news? That Miss Tang's news?" Zhao Ping held it in for a long time before finally asking the question he most wanted to ask: "Mr. Chen, what is your relationship with her?"

"I see you two are quite close. Is she a spy you planted by the God Lord's side a long time ago?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Chen Yu glanced at him. "Now we go back and wait for news; you don't need to know about other matters."

"I just wanted to ask about the situation; after all, I am also someone who participated in this mission. You could at least give me a sense of participation," Zhao Ping touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Actually, you are just gossiping; it has nothing to do with the mission," Chen Yu glanced at him coldly.

"Uh... that's not what I meant." Zhao Ping's expression was awkward as he touched his nose and said, "She is quite impressive, actually being able to stay undercover by the God Lord's side for so long."

"Start the boat." Chen Yu sighed. Deep down, he was still somewhat uneasy; after all, the changes that had occurred in Tang Xue were all because of him.

If she were to suffer any harm because of this, Chen Yu feared he would never be able to overcome that hurdle in his own heart.

But now that things had reached this point, Tang Xue seemed to have no way back. She could only continue her mission; only in this way could they find out the God Lord's location as soon as possible.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Chen Yu's thoughts were turbulent. After a long while, he sighed. If it weren't for that twist of fate with Tang Xue, perhaps things wouldn't have changed like this?

But now that it had happened, they could only take it one step at a time. However, Chen Yu secretly decided that no matter what, he must ensure Tang Xue's safety.

The boat captain's sense of direction was quite good. Although the magnetic field in this area was chaotic and the boat's navigation instruments had failed, he still managed to successfully steer the boat out by relying on his many years of experience.

An ordinary person would certainly not have been able to do this, because strictly speaking, this place was no longer a normal plane.

Moreover, the magnetic field was extremely strong, and there were many reefs surrounding the area. If one were not careful, the boat could easily crash into the reefs.

Yet he was able to steer the boat out safely; an ordinary person would certainly not have been able to do this.
