1371 Daring Idea (1/2)

Liu Jingning's statement startled Xu Que and his companions, and their eyes widened in surprise.

”Little demoness, you know something terrible again. Why do you know everything?” Xu Que asked.

Liu Jingning had previously learned all about Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang thanks to a secret scroll kept by the Utmost Happiness Faction. Moreover, Guan Chuchu had been a saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction and she was related to Liu Jingning. This was why it was normal for her to know about them.

But now, she unexpectedly knew about whoever was stranded underground. This was too amazing. She seemed too knowledgeable.

”That's right, that's right. I have traveled extensively during the last few years. So why are you more knowledgeable than I am? It's illogical,” Duan Jiude also questioned her.

Liu Jingning smiled and answered, ”You should read more books.”

”It isn't possible for me to read books. I can only undertake shady affairs...,” Duan Jiude started to speak.

However, when Duan Jiude had gotten halfway through his speech, Xu Que put his hand on Duan Jiude's forehead and pushed him away.

”F*ck! Lad, what are you trying to do?” Duan Jiude yelled angrily.

”You still have the nerve to question me? Do you know today's date?” Xu Que glared at him and spoke, ”Today is the yearly college entrance exam day, yet you are here dissuading people from reading books. What do you mean by this?”

”F*ck! What college entrance exam? I never heard of it,” Duan Jiude shouted.

”Hee, hee. You don't even know about the college entrance exam. It's no wonder that you are so uncouth,” Xu Que spoke insultingly and shook his head. ”Just look at me and the little demoness. We have pretty faces and a classy style. It's all thanks to reading books frequently, while you...”

”I...” Duan Jiude opened his mouth to answer back, but then he lowered his head to observe his sloppy clothes and recalled his wretched appearance, and he was left at a loss for words.

”F*ck! I have no defense. It's so infuriating!”

Duan Jiude was so incensed that he gnashed his teeth. Then he spoke anxiously, ”Why are we talking about this? Why don't we take care of proper business? Whoever is stranded underground?”

”Oh, that's right, we got engrossed in talking about the college entrance exam, and we have almost forgotten about this matter. Little demoness, who is stranded underground?” After Xu Que came back to his senses, he looked at Liu Jingning and questioned her.

Liu Jingning shook her head and said, ”As a matter of fact, it isn't a human that is stranded underground, but a great demon.”

”A great demon...??” Xu Que was startled. He had not expected this.

”That's right, he was mentioned in the Utmost Happiness Faction's ancient records. Many other factions know about those records also.”

Liu Jingning continued, ”A great demon appeared near the end of the Gods' era, and it turned into a snake that devoured several heavily injured Gods. This incident gave rise to a commotion, and the great war was stopped briefly due to it. It was probably because the Gods found this incident disgraceful, yet it may also have been for different reasons. But in any case, they later joined hands and killed the snake.”

”F*ck! So why does this mean that the snake isn't dead yet,” Xu Que asked, confused.

He had previously heard the plan thought up by Yi Fang to harm him, and he knew that Yi Fang had hoped that Xu Que would perish along with that terrifying being or that both of them would sustain heavy injuries. This was the reason why Xu Que had assumed that the person stranded underground was a person at the Celestial King or Celestial Prime Stage.

He didn't imagine that it was a great demonic snake that had once devoured Gods.
