Chapter 40 Make a Deal with My Uncle
"Demon King."
Ni Yue nodded in greeting. Li Qing looked at Ni Yue. It had been a long time since he had seen her. Her body was so thin that it seemed as if she could be blown away by the wind. The mockery that Li Qing was about to say turned into heartache.
"Didn't you just call me uncle? Why have you changed your address so quickly?"
Ni Yue smiled slightly, "Although I don't know much about the demon race these days, I know I can't let others laugh at me. But behind closed doors, I know my uncle doesn't like seeing me."
Li Qing rubbed his temples. "If you don't want to be laughed at by other demons, then be more intimate behind closed doors, so that no one can hear you."
"Yes, Uncle."
After Ni Yue finished speaking, the air turned cold.
Li Qing took a sip of tea. "The Golden Monkey has returned and seen me. He told me everything that happened in the Divine Clan. What do you want to say—"
"jingle……"
Ni Yue reached for her waist, pulled out a golden object, and threw it out. Li Qing was a little puzzled, but still caught it.
"What is this..." He spread his fingers and saw a token lying on it, with a large, gold-flecked character engraved on it—God!
Li Qing looked up. "Why did you give it to me?"
Suddenly a cold wind blew by, and Ni Yue coughed twice, covering her mouth and nose. Li Qing frowned, raised his hand and waved a fox fur coat hanging next to the shelf, draping it over her shoulders.
"Ni Yue, now that you're the only one left in the God Clan, you still need to take good care of your health."
Ni Yue raised her head, her already dull eyes reddening at the corners due to the violent coughing.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I've come here to ask you for a favor."
Finally said it.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. This child had been proud since childhood, so she must have thought about it for a long time before making such a decision.
Li Qing nodded. "I know what you're thinking. You want your uncle to personally lead the demon clan to help..."
"How did Uncle know that I would entrust the gods to you?"
Li Qing was stunned, then suddenly stood up. "Ah, you're going to entrust the God Clan to me?"
Ni Yue nodded. "Yes, the divine token has been given to you. I know that you suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Father God, and the demons also have many complaints about you. Therefore, this token is the best thing to solidify your position."
Li Qing asked anxiously, "And what about you?"
"The matter of the Water God and Silver Door was caused by me, so I will personally resolve this matter and kill them."
Ni Yue's voice was flat, as if she were talking about something insignificant, but everyone knew that her hands were trembling as she spoke.
"How do we kill him? That water god was promoted by that man, so his strength is undeniable. That demonic dragon is a demon, and I've heard of him before; his strength surpasses even that of the water god!"
He even considered marrying his daughter to him back then!
Li Qing became increasingly agitated as he spoke, while Ni Yue remained frighteningly calm.
Seeing that Ni Yue had no reaction at all, Li Qing sighed in exasperation, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Ni Yue said, "Yin Fei will kill the Water God. I... I will kill Yin Fei, but there is a high probability that I will also die. At that time, I would like to ask my uncle to help the willful Ni Yue clean up the mess for the sake of the Mother Goddess and this divine token."
After saying that, Ni Yue knelt down without hesitation.
Li Qing pointed a trembling finger at Ni Yue, "Why do you think that dragon demon will help you? Aren't you afraid he's lying to you, that he'll trick you and then team up with the water god to kill you?"
Ni Yue smiled and shook her head, "Then I'll have to trouble my uncle to collect my body."
"Stupid girl! Stubborn to the end!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap sounded from the ground outside!
"What was that sound?" Li Qing frowned and stood up, coldly flicking his sleeve as he passed Ni Yue. "What are you still kneeling for! Do you want others to see me mistreating the most noble goddess of the divine race!"
After saying that, he stood still.
Ni Yue smiled helplessly, raised her hand and tugged at Li Qing's sleeve to get up.
A large group of demons had already gathered outside the demon palace, all pointing at the rolling red lightning in the sky and whispering among themselves.
Li Qing flicked his sleeve in annoyance, "What are you all doing here! Do you have any demonic power to pick up?"
Silence fell over the surroundings. All the demons turned around and bowed, saying, "Welcome, Demon King."
"stand up!"
The demons were overjoyed and quickly got up. As soon as they looked up, they saw Ni Yue.
"Isn't this... the Moon Goddess of the Divine Race?"
"The Demon King actually allowed her to come to the demon realm?"
"I heard that she is the only one left in the God Clan."
"..."
Li Qing's fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, her voice icy, "Have you said enough?"
Ni Yue coughed lightly twice, "Uncle, there's no need to be angry, Ni Yue is fine."
Li Qing's bloodline suppression leaked out, "Get out of here, all of you!"
The monsters immediately fell silent and left sheepishly with their tails between their legs.
The surroundings finally quieted down. Li Qing frowned and looked up at the sky. In the dark red clouds, a black dragon could be seen swimming around from time to time. "Is this the aura you were talking about when you said they were fighting?"
“Hmm.” Ni Yue nodded, looking at the sky and analyzing seriously, “I think Yin Fei has a pretty good chance of winning.”
Li Qing angrily raised her hand and smacked her on the forehead. "You brat, my little fox is more sensible than you! Do you know who I once wanted him to marry?"
Ni Yue blinked and shook her head.
"Well, you're pretending to know what you don't!"
Ni Yue continued to look up at the horizon, "If he doesn't like it, forcing him won't help."
As the sun set, Hongyun finally completed her mission and headed home. Niyue knew it was time. She clasped her hands together, took a step back, bowed ninety degrees, and solemnly bowed to Li Qing.
“Uncle, this parting will be the last time we meet. Please take care of yourself. The God Clan is entrusted to you.”
Li Qing didn't speak, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Ouch..."
A small, bright red fox suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rubbed against Li Qing's leg. Li Qing picked it up and watched Ni Yue leave.
“Little Fire, I watched Yue’er grow up. She was so small in my arms back then, and now so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I never imagined that the one who would eventually shoulder the burden of the gods would be such a frail shoulder…”
The little fox looked around blankly, flicking its tail as it gazed at the last figure, Ni Yue, who had disappeared.
……
"Ni Yue, do you know where he is?"
As she flew through the air, Ni Yue heard Li Yang's voice in her mind.
Ni Yue's gaze was firm as she watched the rapidly changing scenery. "I know."
Yin Fei told her to come find him, so it must be somewhere they both knew each other. Ni Yue thought, besides that, she couldn't think of any other place they both knew.
The familiar mountains, the fractures caused by the thunder god and lightning goddess, have long been covered by new greenery. Ni Yue walked forward, trying to find the cave entrance that once saved Yin Fei.
Li Yang thought to herself, "How did you know it was here?"
Ni Yue smiled. "This is where we first met."
"Swish..."
There was a rustling sound coming from the grass in front, and the leaves of the grass were swaying.
With a flick of her fingertips, Ni Yue unleashed divine power, and with a wave of her hand, a large chunk of grass was instantly sheared away.
A face covered in wounds emerged from the grass.
Ni Yue stared blankly and said, "Silver Door..."
