Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Tricked by the White-haired Loli Again!

Everything became clear in an instant.

The courtesan who had appeared before Luo Wusheng previously had already displayed several unique traits in front of him.

Her captivating Guqin playing that both enchanted and brought clarity to the mind made him suspect that her identity is not normal.

When the Demon Artifact Pavilion opened and the Guqin Melody that the courtesan play was transmitted to the chaotic masses, Luo Wusheng confirmed that she was also a cultivator, a high-level one at that..

Later, during their conversation in the mansion’s hall, her words and the emotions revealed by the Mind-Reading Eyeball made him question what is her true identity.

However, at that time, all he could think about was whether she was the Mortal Alter Ego of the Empress of the immortal nation or not.

Now, the truth was finally revealed, bringing both good and bad news.

The bad news was that she was indeed not the Mortal Alter Ego of the Empress of the immortal nation, and he still had not met with the Empress or any of her Alter Ego, meaning that her favorability toward him is pretty much still in the zero, neither good nor bad.

As for the good news…

It seems he had unintentionally maxed out his relationship bar toward the Netherkin Nation former Monarch, the Netherqueen.

He felt somewhat dumbfounded.

The formidable Netherqueen, the Peak Tribulation Crossing expert of the Netherkin Nation, turned out to be spending her leisure time in the Royal City as a courtesan in a brothel?

And he had coincidentally spent most of his time raising her favorability? All without drawing her ire and getting him killed?

’Well, the courtesan Yao Ji persona that she use when we met is most likely an Alter Ego body that she made using some sort of innate skill;

After sorting out all these surprising events that happened in a single night, he felt much more at ease.

Although his previous efforts didn’t gain favor with the Empress, from the way the Netherqueen treated him as Yao Ji, she seemed to be having some favorable impression with him, right?

Furthermore, he had accidentally found himself in a key position to rescue her tonight by hitching a ride on Yue Xuanji’s efforts…

Looking at it this way, it wasn’t impossible to bring this powerful little fox to his side, was it?

In his mind, an image floated up.

One year later, during the Demon Purging War, Buddhist chants resounded in the sky, and a giant Buddha’s palm descended to turn him, the Demon Sec’s Holy Saint, into ashes.

But just then, a pink fluffy fox tail swung over and instantly shattered the palm’s power.

The Netherqueen, alongside her nine pink tails, protected him and placed him behind her. Her eyes were sharp, and with a wave of her hand, an army of Netherkin Nation experts appeared, confronting the Buddhists Sect combatang.

She expressed only one thing—this Demon Sect Holy Saint was her friend, and anyone who wished to harm him would need to face her wrath….

’Well… this scene is unlikely to happen. Even if we were friends, it shouldn’t make the former Monarch of the Netherkin Nation to act like that…’

But people always have their fantasies.

Just like how he knew in his heart that the Netherqueen probably wanted to gain the affection of Little Yuli, he couldn’t help but imagine some plot where the overbearing Netherqueen fell in love with him.

If he could really tie himself to such a powerful ally, what did he have to fear from the Buddhist Sect?

Thinking of this, Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of happiness.

Securing the small storage pouch containing Yao Ji who is in her Nine-Tailed Fox form at his waist, Luo Wusheng’s mood relaxed considerably.

Tonight’s various accidents finally concluded successfully.

The plan of the Netherking was resolved by the Immortal Nation without much difference from the original story, and the Netherqueen was successfully rescued, at least the outcome of tonight’s incident remains unchanged from the original story.

Moreover, he finally learned the true identity of Yao Ji, he also had confirmed that he had developed some goodwill towards a powerful ally.

The only regret that he had, perhaps, was that he didn’t actually find out who the Mortal Alter Ego of the Immortal Nation Empress was.

But that didn’t matter now.

After all, it was highly likely that the day he would meet the empress in her Imperial Alter Ego was not far off, and then he could simply improve her favorability by directly impressing her in that Alter Ego.

Thinking of this, Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but hum a popular tune from his previous life.

Since there was no one around, he didn’t need to maintain the persona of the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect all the time, so he could relax on his way hom–-

His humming came to a stop.

As for the reason for that, that is because right in front of him, a cold and elegant figure slowly appeared.

The figure that appeared wore a mask with a pattern of scales, with a body that should be beautiful but was hidden by a bound chest and red clothes.

The identity of the person was already evident.

A Golden Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau, Miss Kirin.

At this moment, in the wilderness, the two found themselves in a somewhat awkward silence, facing each other as a man and a woman.

“We met again, Lord Holy Saint.,” Miss Kirin said, trying to break the ice.

However, Luo Wusheng’s face showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing her words.

His identity as the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect…

“Cough, why would Miss Kirin be in this place?” Helpless, Luo Wusheng had to break the awkward atmosphere.

“I’m responsible for guarding this area because there were some accidents at the Ascending Immortality Lake,” Miss Kirin replied.

As she spoke, she looked at Luo Wusheng with a hint of suspicion, “But how come Lord Luo is in this place?”

She couldn’t help but recall the scene where Luo Wusheng hurriedly left earlier.

There seemed to be some speculation in her mind.

Could it be…

And Luo Wusheng on the other side naturally noticed the slight doubt in her eyes.

So, he fell silent.

Why was he here?

The first thing that came to mind was the white-haired loli who claimed to be able to see everything.

Why did that grandma deliberately arrange for him to be teleported here?

He suspected that he had been tricked by that white haired brat, but he had no evidence.

Looking up at Miss Kirin, who seemed to be getting wary, he couldn’t help but think, this is like when a prisoner who just escaped from prison and accidentally collided with the prison warden while still wearing their prisoner form.

One wrong word and he could be in trouble.

Trying to forcefully escape was definitely not an option. He still had to live in the Royal City and soon, might even meet the Empress.

Moreover, the other party’s strength was clearly higher than his own, so that road is pretty much closed…

’I must act more naturally, it’s time to make good use of the persona I established before…’

After making a short plan, Luo Wusheng’s face calmed down, revealing a mysterious smile.

“The matter of the Netherqueen being rescued by the Netherkin Nation is a significant event, as someone who resides in the Royal City, how could I not come to investigate the matter?”
