Chapter 688 - 687: Before the Final Battle, Let’s Clean Out Their Home Base First
Chapter 688: Chapter 687: Before the Final Battle, Let’s Clean Out Their Home Base First
Chu Sheng was certain.
Every word the East Japan goddess said was true.
There wasn’t a hint of falsehood.
This made Chu Sheng even more confused.
’You’re not afraid of dying, so why are you selling out your comrades so quickly?’
"What are you after?"
Chu Sheng couldn’t help but ask, his curiosity piqued.
The East Japan goddess’s eyes were filled with an incredibly strong sense of anticipation.
"After you kill Iyaki and Izanami,"
"could you take me out of the East Japan Divine Domain and let me have some fun in the outside world for a few days?"
"Once I’ve had my fun, you can kill me."
Chu Sheng had a sudden realization.
’So that was it. She’s been cooped up for so long she’s gone stir-crazy!’
It was understandable, though.
It was like a few dozen people being stranded on a deserted island.
Men and women.
No worries about food or drink.
At first, it wouldn’t feel tedious.
But after ten thousand years...
Even married couples get the seven-year itch.
Let alone ten thousand years!
Staring at the same few dozen faces every single day.
No matter what you did, it would be meaningless!
They’d probably have developed psychological problems long ago!
Even gods were no exception!
"You’re in the Pseudo-Divine Realm. You can’t leave the East Japan Divine Domain, can you?"
Chu Sheng asked, confused.
"Blue Star has the Forbidden God Law. Once a Divine Realm expert goes out, they’ll be struck dead by a Celestial Tribulation," the East Japan goddess replied immediately.
"I can lower... or even completely abolish my Cultivation."
"As long as I can go out and see the world, I don’t care about Cultivation at all."
Chu Sheng was thoroughly impressed.
’She really has been suffering from cabin fever.’
’A Divine Realm Cultivation!’
’A Realm countless people dream of achieving.’
’And she’s willing to just throw it away for a few days of normal life.’
"Then why didn’t you leave sooner?" Chu Sheng continued to ask.
The East Japan goddess gave a bitter smile.
"From the moment of our birth, all of us East Japan Ancient Gods have had our souls branded by Iyaki and Izanami."
"They absolutely forbid us from taking even half a step out of the East Japan Divine Domain."
"Anyone who dares to leave without permission is tortured by them using the soul imprint to a fate worse than death."
So that was how it was.
Chu Sheng now understood completely.
’It seems the Ancient Gods in these Divine Domains don’t have it easy, either.’
’No wonder Immortal Venerable Shi Xi always said so.’
’That the Ancient Gods in these Divine Domains were merely clinging to a wretched existence.’
’They were more like prisoners than gods.’
Since the East Japan goddess had revealed all the information Chu Sheng wanted to know, there was no value in keeping her around any longer.
’As for letting her go out...’
’He didn’t have the time to watch over her all day and make sure she didn’t cause any trouble.’
A merciless killing intent flashed in Chu Sheng’s eyes.
The East Japan goddess had been carefully observing Chu Sheng’s expression.
She immediately caught the killing intent in his eyes.
She said urgently, "Wait! Lord Mosquito! I’m still useful!"
"Although I can’t directly act against Iyaki and Izanami,"
"I can help you tie down the other East Japan Ancient Gods during tomorrow’s duel."
"And, if you allow it, I can also bring over the other seven who, like me, are unwilling to fight."
"The eight of us together can keep a lot of them occupied."
Chu Sheng was tempted.
He asked doubtfully, "Are you sure those people are like you and willing to betray them?"
The East Japan goddess said resolutely, "I’m sure!"
"They’re just like me. They’ve long had enough of this life."
"As long as you’re willing to let us out to live a normal life for a few days,"
"they will definitely agree."
"They’re all women?"
Chu Sheng noticed the feminine pronoun the East Japan goddess used.
"Yes."
The East Japan goddess nodded firmly.
"All eight of us are women."
"The men are all in cahoots with Iyaki and Izanami."
"If you’re still worried, we can sign a master-servant contract with you and become your slaves."
"Our lives and deaths would be entirely in your hands."
Chu Sheng thought for a moment.
’If he could really get eight East Japan Ancient Gods to join him as allies, just as the goddess said... for tomorrow’s decisive battle... his ninety percent confidence would jump straight to one hundred percent!’
Of course, Chu Sheng had no intention of signing any master-servant contract with them.
’However, plenty of men in Great Xia had a thing for women from East Japan. After they got out... he could have these East Japan goddesses lower their strength to the Emperor Realm. Then he could arrange for them to have masters who appreciated their... particular appeal. It would also be an indirect way of adding several Emperor Realm experts to Great Xia’s ranks. Killing three birds with one stone.’
"Alright, this Lord Mosquito agrees."
Chu Sheng motioned for the big black dog and Qin Si to release the East Japan goddess.
"As long as you do a good job helping us,"
"once we’ve dealt with Iyaki and Izanami, I’ll take you out."
"You can play to your heart’s content."
"Thank you, Lord Mosquito!"
The moment she was freed, the East Japan goddess dropped to her knees before Chu Sheng with a THUD.
She kowtowed to him several times, her forehead hitting the ground with audible thumps.
She was so excited she started to cry.
"Alright, get up."
Chu Sheng waved his front leg and asked,
"By the way, what’s your name?"
"My name is Little Zeji. You can just call me Little Ze," Little Zeji said respectfully.
Chu Sheng froze for a second.
For a moment, certain... images flashed through his mind.
He quickly shook his head.
He shook those messy thoughts away.
"Little Ze...ji."
"First, go and find those seven East Japan Ancient Gods who think like you."
"Remember, don’t attract the attention of Iyaki and Izanami."
"After you find them, bring them here to assemble."
"Then, I’ll give you your next assignment."
"Yes, Lord Mosquito! You can count on me!"
Little Zeji nodded emphatically.
Once Xue returned time to its normal flow,
Little Zeji immediately used Instant Teleportation and flew off in the direction of the host club district.
Her Speed was astonishing.
It was as if she was afraid Chu Sheng would go back on his word if she were even a second late.
"Lord Divine Mosquito, aren’t you afraid Little Zeji will betray us?"
Qin Si asked with a serious expression.
"After all, she and Iyaki’s people are of the same clan."
Chu Sheng chuckled.
"When a man has an affair, he rarely takes the initiative to divorce his wife."
"Even if he does get a divorce, he won’t go too far."
"But when a woman has an affair..."
"Heh heh..."
"She’s capable of anything."
Chu Sheng looked in the direction Little Zeji had disappeared.
He continued,
"For these goddesses who have been lonely for ten thousand years,"
"things like kinship have long lost all meaning."
"In a moment of passion, for the sake of a few days of happiness, it’s perfectly normal for them to betray their own kin."
Qin Si had a flash of understanding.
But then he looked at Chu Sheng suspiciously.
"Aren’t you a mosquito?"
"How do you know so much about the affairs of men and women?"
Chu Sheng rolled his eyes dramatically.
"Just because I’m a bug doesn’t mean I live under a rock!"
Qin Si gave a wry smile and didn’t press the issue.
"So, what’s our next move?"
"Do we just wait here for Little Zeji to come back?"
"Of course not," Chu Sheng said coolly.
"We stick to the original plan: continue picking off lone East Japan Ancient Gods."
"Now that we have detailed information from Little Zeji,"
"we know where the East Japan Ancient Gods like to hang out."
"Our progress will definitely be much faster."
A mischievous smile appeared on Chu Sheng’s face.
"When the time comes for the final battle tomorrow,"
"Iyaki and Izanami will be standing before us."
"They’ll look back and..."
"’Huh? Where did all our descendants go?!’"
