Yu Tang tightened her grip, but did not push Lu Qingyuan away.
Instead, he silently recited the incantation, allowing Lu Qingyuan to absorb his blood and soul through the wound.
The plot states that when the backlash reaches a certain level, Lu Qingyuan will face a breakdown and his behavior will become uncontrollable.
Yu Tang then decided to sacrifice part of his own soul to help Lu Qingyuan alleviate his pain.
His already pale face looked even worse after the sacrifice.
Yu Tang gently comforted Lu Qingyuan until his brows relaxed and he fell asleep again. Then he got up, covered his wound, and cast a small healing spell to heal the wound and cover up what had just happened.
"Host, you guys are having such a hard time..." The system felt sorry for you.
Why does every world have to end like this...? It's so painful.
[The Supreme God is so powerful, why couldn't he have used a simpler method to save you... instead of choosing such an extreme method?]
Yu Tang remained silent for a while, recalling the scene in her dream, and pursed her lips.
After a long pause, he asked: "Master, do you know who is above the Supreme God?"
The system thought for a moment and replied: "I heard it from others. After the war of the gods 100,000 years ago, the Supreme God became the only god and officially took over the three thousand great worlds and three thousand small worlds."
Before the great war against the gods, whether a mortal or a spirit became a god was determined by the will of Heaven.
For all living beings, the Way of Heaven is the sole principle.
However, no one knows for sure whether the Supreme God or the Heavenly Dao is stronger.
Yu Tang pondered: Indeed, it is still because of the will of Heaven.
He told the system about his dream, and the system was also deeply frightened after listening to it.
He asked Yu Tang, "So, host, you mean that everything you've experienced is very likely a death tribulation ordained for you by Heaven?"
[So the Supreme God was forced to use this method to save you, right?]
Yu Tang: Actually, if you include the "rumors" you heard from your colleagues before, then I think the will of Heaven is not to give me trials and tribulations...
Thinking of the scenes that flashed through his mind during the second game, and the evil deeds he might have committed as Wei Yuan's master, Yu Tang said slowly: "It's not that he wanted to completely erase me."
Yu Tang: Wei Yuan knew this, which is why he used these ten worlds to change the annihilation into a tribulation.
Yu Tang: Save me by making me the next God.
The system froze, and after a long while, it exclaimed in shock: "It...it actually connected..."
[Host, you actually connected all those clues!]
Yu Tang shook his head: It's not completely connected yet, and these are all just my guesses.
Furthermore, what exactly did I do to make Heaven hate me so much is also an unsolved mystery.
Looking down at Lu Qingyuan, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, Yu Tang reached out and tidied up the devil's stray hairs, sighing softly: "But there's one thing I'm sure of, that kid Wei Yuan will never hurt me no matter what."
He... will only hurt himself.
Chapter 48
Died for the fifth time for the villain (48)
Lu Qingyuan had no recollection of ever hurting Yu Tang; he only felt that the excruciating pain had lessened considerably after waking up.
When I went to find Yu Tang, I saw the man in his study, flipping through those cringeworthy comics, looking on with great interest.
Lu Qingyuan sat down, propped his chin up with his hand, stared at Yu Tang's face, and pouted slightly: "Quick, wife, give me a kiss."
Yu Tang pinched his upper and lower lips with her hands, making the pout more pronounced, and teased, "Little pig mouth, I can't kiss you."
Lu Qingyuan snorted and muttered, "What kind of pig looks as good as me?"
Then he got up and pushed Yu Tang forward, pulling him by the hand that was holding his.
She stopped only after kissing the man's face, and laughed, "You've been kissed by the little pig, so you've become a little pig too. Let's not laugh at each other."
The system laughed mercilessly: 【What kind of childish idiots are you two?!】
"Stop fooling around..." Yu Tang pushed the person away and asked, "You always say that the people who are chasing you can line up from the Heavenly God Tree to the Fire Hell Pool. The Fire Hell Pool is said to be at the lowest level of the Demon Realm. I've never seen it before. Can you take me to see it?"
"Why did you suddenly decide to go to the Fire Hell Pool?" Lu Qingyuan frowned and advised, "As an angel, the deeper you go into the Demon Realm, the more uncomfortable your body will feel. You should probably avoid it."
"I've heard that the fire lotuses blooming in the flames of the Fire Hell Pool are a rare sight in the Demon Realm."
Yu Tang winked at him: "Will you take me to see it?"
Lu Qingyuan was no match for Yu Tang's seduction.
One look was enough for him to surrender and agree.
While Lu Qingyuan went to prepare things, Yu Tang suppressed her smile and closed the cheesy comic she had been using for show.
What was pressed down underneath was an old illustrated book.
Before Lu Qingyuan came in, Yu Tang had been reading this book.
The book notes the uses of the fire lotus.
It can cause the user to lose memories of the past year.
Because the time allotted to him for his mission was limited, he could only stay with Lu Qingyuan for a maximum of six months.
To minimize the harm to the little devil, Yu Tang searched through all the books.
Finally, they found the Fire Lotus that can cause people to lose up to a year's worth of memories.
He and the little devil met, fell in love, and got to know each other within a year until he left.
Therefore, as long as Lu Qingyuan consumes the Fire Lotus, he will lose his memories of this period.
Forget all the moments you shared with him, and live your life well.
However, Yu Tang still had some hesitation.
After all, even he himself was unwilling to forget Wei Yuan, and was even trying to uncover the truth of the matter.
So, is what he did to Lu Qingyuan really right?
However, the most urgent task is to obtain the Fire Lotus, which can be considered as making some preparations for leaving in the future.
The Demon Realm is divided into nine levels, and the deeper you go, the more lively it becomes.
Lu Qingyuan previously disdained associating with other demons. Therefore, he always lived on the first floor and rarely went down.
Therefore, his arrival on the ninth floor with Yu Tang caused quite a stir.
The commotion was even greater when a very attractive angel was standing next to him.
Yu Tang and Lu Qingyuan stood at the bar ordering drinks, while the chatter behind them never stopped.
"Lu Qingyuan?"
"It really is him!"
"I never expected to run into a real person!"
"See that? That's Lu Qingyuan." A male demon said to the female demon next to him, "It's said that he single-handedly took on all the angels in the heavens, stormed up the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, and scared the law enforcement angels so much that they wet their pants!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang choked for a moment, feeling both amused and exasperated.
If those law enforcement angels knew they were being slandered like this, wouldn't they be furious?
Lu Qingyuan seemed quite pleased, his eyes narrowed like a cat basking in the sun, one hand lazily draped over Yu Tang's shoulder: "See? These are all my die-hard fans! Although I don't show up often, the legends about me never stop!"
Yu Tang added at the opportune moment: "Hehe, if they knew that when you went to the Heavenly Realm, you acted like a little crybaby in front of so many angels, it would be a completely different story now."
Lu Qingyuan was speechless after being rebuked, and he puffed out his cheeks in a huff.
The demons' conversation continued.
The female demon exclaimed in surprise, "Really? He's such a great honor for our demon realm! I'm willing to make him my new idol!"
After saying this, the female demon suddenly turned her gaze to Yu Tang next to Lu Qingyuan, licked her bright red lips, and said, "However, compared to Lu Qingyuan, I still prefer the angel standing next to him..."
"With such good looks, his penis must be huge. I've never been with an angel before, but I wouldn't mind giving it a try this time..."
"Pfft, cough cough..."
Yu Tang had just taken his first sip of wine when he heard this, because he was so surprised.
He couldn't help but spit out the wine, spraying it all over Lu Qingyuan's pants.
The devil's eyes darkened. He pointed to his damp pants and asked Yu Tang with a smile, "Wife, it's only eight o'clock in the evening, and you can't hold back anymore?"
Yu Tang stared wide-eyed, shocked by Lu Qingyuan's thought process.
Is it even safe to drive on this cramped little road?
However, Lu Qingyuan only said this one flirtatious remark before stopping.
Then she stood up, conjured a pitch-black cloak out of thin air, and completely enveloped the man in it, ignoring Yu Tang's attempts to stop her.
With the drawstring tied, the huge hood covered most of Yu Tang's face, blocking everyone's view.
After doing all this, Lu Qingyuan sat back down on the high chair, his feet lightly touching the ground.
Bang bang bang—
All the doors and windows of the bar were immediately shut.
The black mist that appeared out of nowhere completely sealed off all the gaps, stunning everyone present.
What happened?
"Why can't I open the door?"
"Holy crap! Where did this black mist come from? How can it contain such powerful magic?!"
The demons panicked, looking at each other with utter bewilderment.
Lu Qingyuan, the instigator, clapped his hands twice to draw everyone's attention to himself.
He slowly said, "You all guessed correctly, I am Lu Qingyuan."
He put his arm around Yu Tang, who was just as bewildered as the group of demons, and grinned, revealing his sharp teeth: "And the person next to me is my lover, Yu Tang."
"I hope you all will keep your minds and mouths shut. Don't have any more improper thoughts about my lover. Otherwise..."
