Chapter 114 - 90: The Junior Officer Asks for Orders, Cheng Huang Revolts!_6

"We didn’t come here for drinking tea." the middle-aged man said, perplexed as the woman led him into a store.

The two individuals were none other than City God, who was on his mission this time, and the [Shei Si Ming] of [Meng Por Dian].

The man who just spoke was none other than City God.

However, at this moment, they were both using disguised appearances and names.

Shei Si Ming had renamed herself to Yu Qingtong, while City God did not change his name and used his original name.

Du E!

Also known as Old Man Du E!

"Could it be, you fear that Chen Chang’an?"

City God said.

Shei Si Ming hesitated for a moment before nodding her head and saying:

"Yes, why wouldn’t I be scared?"

"Such a powerful figure as Tian Yuan’s Sword Immortal couldn’t even defeat a Void God casually summoned by him. How could I not be afraid of such a powerful being?"

"What do you intend to do now?" Hearing Shei Si Ming’s words, Du E snorted in disdain and then asked.

Her series of actions since their departure had left him puzzled.

"There’s nothing, just felt hungry and sat down to have a meal, that’s all." Shei Si Ming said with a slight smile.

"’Emperor Song’s Biography’ says: ’People are iron, and meals are steel, you’ll starve if you skip meals,’ and I quite agree with it.

"So, if I’m hungry, why not have something to eat first? After all, there’s nothing wrong with it, right?"

"Also, this place serves decent food, they have a dish called ’Scallion Oil Noodles with Slices of Meat,’ which you can’t find anywhere else. It’s quite delicious, do you want some?" Shei Si Ming asked kindly, looking at City God.

"No, I don’t," Du E forcefully shook his head.

This place was filled with all types of people dressed in coarse clothing which made him feel nauseous.

Immediately he stood up, spoke bluntly to Shei Si Ming and said,

"The task given by His Highness and Yanluo was to investigate Chen Chang’an, not to eat and drink here."

"So what do you suggest?" Shei Si Ming asked, looking amusedly at City God.

City God smiled faintly and said,

"Then naturally, we should split up."

"Split up?"

As soon as Shei Si Ming heard these words, she was stunned for a moment and then, understanding City God’s meaning.

She smiled widely, "This sounds good: I agree."

"Good, as long as you agree." City God said,

"But, Shei Si Ming, let me make it clear: since we’re going our separate ways, if I, by any chance, achieve any results before you do..."

"...you can’t come and snatch the credit away from me!"

Upon hearing City God’s words, Shei Si Ming’s smile intensified; she chuckled lightly and replied,

"Rest assured, this won’t happen."

"If you’re able to accomplish this task, why wouldn’t I be delighted to be spared of the trouble?"

Then, Shei Si Ming’s tone suddenly shifted as she said,

"However, you shouldn’t be the one to fall into their trap instead."

"...and have me rescue you."

"Hmph, you don’t need to worry about that!" City God sneered and promptly left.

Heehee.

Watching City God’s departing figure, the smile on Shei Si Ming’s face vanished.

She looked at City God, her eyes filled with cold mockery.

You old fool.

If Chen Chang’an were so easy to deal with, why did Yanluo send both of us instead of just one?

As soon as City God’s figure disappeared around a street corner, Shei Si Ming stopped paying attention.

She turned her head to the direction of the stove and called out,

"Hello, boss."

"Can I have a plate of Scallion Oil Noodles and a portion of Slices of Meat please."

"Add more coriander, no green onions,"

"Thank you."

"Okay, Miss, wait a moment."

"Your Scallion Oil Noodles and Slices of Meat will be ready soon."

Upon hearing Shei Si Ming’s voice, the person at the stove immediately yelled back.

A smile appeared on Shei Si Ming’s face upon hearing this.

She randomly came across this shop’s noodles one day and fell in love with their taste.

Ever since then, she would visit this place every time she passed.

As for seeking troubles with Chen Chang’an of Tianshui?

Is that more important than eating noodles?

Hehe.

As for work and stuff, let them become drifting clouds and fly away!

.....Flowers bloom on both sides, each expressing something...

As the Yu Qingtong, who is also known as the Lesser Minister of Life, was eating noodles with great satisfaction at the foot of the mountain, up above on Daozang Mountain, the sky was gradually darkening.

In the main hall of the sect at the mountain gate, a weary Mao Ruxue, who had been cultivating all day, headed to her bedroom to sleep.

Huh??!

This aura?!

Suddenly, Mao Ruxue, who was about to sleep, sensed a faint aura of Demonic Qi coming from down the mountain.

Normally, this would be quite ordinary.

After all, this area, the Wuxiang realm, is littered with various forbidden and deadly zones.

It’s entirely normal for some Demonic Qi to occasionally seep out.

However, this whiff of Demonic Qi that has appeared, is absolutely not normal!

Because Mao Ruxue felt it very clearly.

This aura of Demonic Qi, it unmistakably belonged to the City God, one of the major nether officers of Rebirth Hall!

My God, the City God is here?!

The moment she thought of this, Mao Ruxue’s heart pounded like a thunderclap, and she instantly became panicked.

What to do, what to do?

There are two concerns for Mao Ruxue at present.

One is the worry that her true identity might be discovered by the City God.

The other concern is that they might target her senior brother, Chen Chang’an!

This isn’t good at all!

However, she has no handle whatsoever on the situation.

If they really do start fighting, she would absolutely side with her senior brother and fight back.

Two against two, she had no fear at all!

But if no fight ensues, then she should worry about the possible exposure of her true identity.

The exposure of one’s identity, this too is a big deal!

What to do, what to do?

In an instant, Mao Ruxue is as restless as an ant in a hot pan.

"Yes, find senior brother!"

In an instant, she thought of Chen Chang’an.

The next moment, she came to the outside of the Scripture Pavilion.

But, to her upsetting surprise.

She found her senior brother to have already fallen asleep when she arrived.

This...?

Senior brother really has a big heart!

Forget it, I’ll just guard senior brother from here.

Thinking of this, Mao Ruxue quietly opened the door to the Scripture Pavilion, stepped inside the courtyard, deployed an invisibility spell, and carefully concealed herself.

Here, as long as she does not move on her own, she will absolutely not be discovered.

If, by any chance, the City God’s accomplice engages in a fight with her senior brother Chen Chang’an, she can provide immediate assistance!

She had the best of both worlds!

Next, Mao Ruxue found herself in a state of anxious waiting.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Daozang Mountain.

A middle-aged old man appeared, it was the City God.

"Hmpf! Chen Chang’an of Tianshui?"

"Today, old me is in a bad mood, it’s better to let you fall, at the hands of old me."

At this moment, the City God held a demonic jar in his hand.

Inside the demonic jar, there was a half-filled liquid of black color, and inside the liquid, several streaks of Demonic Qi were intertwining.

This is the Corpse Puppet God Water!

Once it is sprinkled on the body of a person in deep sleep, it would absolutely gain control of that person!

That’s right, the City God’s plan isn’t just about probing Chen Chang’an.

He wished to directly control Chen Chang’an!

Are good relationships for probing?

Hehe!

Isn’t making him a dead man a better option?

After a cold laugh, the City God held the demonic jar in his hand.

Then, he looked at the mountain peak piercing through the sky from a distance.

Full of confidence, he took a step forward.

However, he had just started to walk when he gazed at this mountain peak.

The City God suddenly felt his heart being engulfed by immense terror.

He had this strong feeling that if he were to truly ascend this mountain, he would meet with a terrible disaster!

"I’m scaring myself."

"Considering it’s just a Great Scholar, could it be possible that there’s an ancient monolithic figure lying dead up on the mountain?"

Thinking this, the City God’s heart rigidly hardened, and he grew even more confident as he walked towards the mountain.
