After knowing Xiao Shu’s true plan, Yu Huang nodded and patted Xiao Shu’s shoulder. She said to him, “Then I wish you success as soon as possible. Remember to help me after you become a G.o.d.”
Xiao Shu glanced at Yu Huang in surprise. “Don’t you think my thoughts are wishful thinking?”
Yu Huang chuckled and said, “Back then, when I told the people around me that Sheng Xiao was my man, everyone thought that I was fantasizing. But in the end?” Yu Huang smiled and pointed at her ring finger. She said, “In the end, we got married and formed a marriage compact.”
Xiao Shu smiled. “Alright, when I become a G.o.d, I’ll help you.”
Yu Huang nodded.
Seeing that the three suns had risen again, Yu Huang couldn’t help but feel a lingering sense of fear. “I really have to thank you for today. If you weren’t nearby, I would definitely have become food for the stone crabs.”
“Stone crabs?” Xiao Shu frowned and thought for a while before saying, “You’re talking about the parasitic crab?” Xiao Shu asked again, “Are you talking about a type of demon beast that looks like a small rock at night and will collectively move and devour food the moment the sun comes out?”
Yu Huang nodded. “Yes, you’ve seen the Black Shark Bird. Those parasitic crabs can eat an entire Black Shark Bird in a single day.”
Xiao Shu nodded and said with some disdain, “Parasitic crabs are the most detestable creatures in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. They seem to be social animals, but they actually are not real demon beasts at all. What you see is only a clone formed by the parasitic crabs with demonic power. These creatures are very afraid of the moonlight because once their bodies are illuminated by the moonlight, they will turn into a pool of blood. Therefore, they have to live with rocks. After dark, they will hide in rocks to sleep. At dawn, they will collectively go out to find food.”
“When they are completely full, they will return the way they came and return the demonic power they absorbed from the dead demon beasts to their main bodies. This kind of creature is greedy and can never be satisfied. The best way to deal with them is to poison their food.”
Xiao Shu thought of a certain past and smiled very happily. He said, “I once threw a poisoned giant crocodile into the nest of a parasitic crab. Those little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds swarmed up and quickly ate the giant crocodile clean. Because they were too stuffed and poisoned too deeply, their main bodies were poisoned to death as well.”
Xiao Shu smiled and said, “I did the same thing that time and poisoned more than a thousand parasitic crabs to death. I thought this species had long become extinct. I didn’t expect them to still be alive.”
When Yu Huang heard Xiao Shu recall the past, she could roughly imagine what Xiao Shu was like in the past. He must have been a carefree and reckless person. To be able to deliberately poison parasitic crabs to death, the Lord of all demons was quite playful.
“How can I obtain the Kunlun Divine Master’s inheritance?” Yu Huang was still curious about this question.
Xiao Shu made an exaggerated expression. “No way. You’ve already comprehended the power of the Divine Master, yet you still want to s.n.a.t.c.h the inheritance of the Kunlun Divine Master from me?” Xiao Shu deliberately bowed to Yu Huang and begged for mercy. “Please give us a piece of the cake. Don’t eat too much alone.”
Yu Huang was caught between laughter and tears. “I won’t s.n.a.t.c.h it from you. I’m just curious.”
Xiao Shu naturally knew that Yu Huang wouldn’t compete with him for the inheritance of the Kunlun Divine Master. Those who could rely on their talent to successfully comprehend the power of the Divine Master wouldn’t bother to s.n.a.t.c.h others’ things. Only demon beasts like them, who were destined to be unable to obtain the recognition of the heavens with their own strength, needed unconventional means.
“I didn’t understand the details. I’ve been in the Kunlun Mystic Realm for nearly a hundred years. I’ve tried many methods, but none of them worked. I can feel that there’s a force monitoring every intruder in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. I even guessed that it’s the remnant divine sense of the Kunlun Divine Master.”
Xiao Shu said calmly, “His divine sense is hidden in this secret s.p.a.ce. He has been hiding for a long time, waiting to choose the successor he is most satisfied with. In order to obtain his recognition and attract his divine sense, I once started a ma.s.sacre and hunted every type of demon beast in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. I sacrificed the blood of demon beasts, but the Kunlun Divine Master was still dissatisfied.”
When Yu Huang heard Xiao Shu’s description, it wasn’t difficult for her to guess how reckless Xiao Shu was at that time.
He dared to hunt all the demon beasts reared by others in their territory and sacrifice them in order to attract the attention of the Creator of this world.
To be able to have such an idea and boldly put it into practice was enough to prove that Xiao Shu was a stubborn lunatic.
“You want to awaken the divine sense of the Kunlun Divine Master by killing?”
Seeing that Yu Huang had immediately revealed her plan, Xiao Shu looked at her playfully. “To be able to understand me is enough to show that you’re also a lunatic.” Xiao Shu winked at Yu Huang and asked, “Does Professor Sheng know that you’re a lunatic at heart?”
Yu Huang smiled and remained silent.
Xiao Shu shrugged and said, “Yes, but I still failed.” Xiao Shu had always been indignant that he didn’t receive the recognition of the Kunlun Divine Master. “I want to try my luck again when the Kunlun Mystic Realm opens this time. Perhaps after ten thousand years, the Kunlun Divine Master’s preferences changed again?”
Yu Huang said, “It’s not impossible.”
“The Kunlun Divine Master is everywhere. The entire world is his incarnation. However, we can’t see him just because we want to. Only the appearance of a fated person will attract him.” Xiao Shu rolled up the old map and stood up. He stomped his feet and said to Yu Huang, “For the next three years, please work hard to survive. I have to go find Rong’er. Good luck.”
Xiao Shu inserted the map into his collar and strode away.
Yu Huang suddenly shouted at him, “Have you thought about how to tell Yin Rong about this?”
Xiao Shu stopped in his tracks.
His lips moved, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to explain this.
In fact, not long after Xiao Shu regained his memory, he had the intention to confess his ident.i.ty to Yin Rong. He dared to reveal his ident.i.ty to Yu Huang, but he didn’t dare to reveal it to Yin Rong. The more he cared about someone, the less he dared to say or do anything wrong.
He was afraid that his true ident.i.ty would scare Yin Rong away.
Yin Rong was a treasure that he had painstakingly wooed. He couldn’t bear to scare her away.
Seeing Xiao Shu’s hesitant expression, Yu Huang knew how terrified he was.
It didn’t matter if he was the Lord of all demons or the Master of the human world. In front of the girl one liked, one would be a coward.
Yu Huang told Xiao Shu what she was thinking. “Just say it. I think it’s better for her to hear the truth from you than from others.” If it were her, she would want to hear Sheng Xiao tell her the truth himself, not from others.
