Chapter 1293 - The Demonic Claws that Lurked in the Shadows

Upon hearing Yun Che’s “delighted” greeting, Qianye Ying’er’s charming and dewy lips faintly curved up, “Yun Che, before I met you, I had really never thought that there would actually be someone who had the qualifications to be chased by me from the Eastern Divine Region all the way to the God Realm of Absolute Beginning.”

Yun Che immediately looked as if he had received “an overwhelmingly flattering compliment”.

“I had also never thought that her Highness the Goddess would actually be so infatuated with me. Actually, half a month ago, when I rejected the Goddess’ request for a ‘humble marriage’, it was not because I was unwilling to get married to you. Rather, it was because the Lady Goddess is a celestial fairy who transcends the mortal world while I am just a lowly and lowborn commoner. In front of the Lady Goddess, I would only be able to feel ashamed of my inferiority, so I simply cannot bring myself to associate with your august presence.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Qianye Ying’er’s golden eyes faintly narrowed, “Then that’s truly such a shame.”

“No, no, it’s not a shame at all,” Yun Che immediately said. “For the Lady Goddess to be so infatuated with me that you would actually chase me all the way here from the Eastern Divine Region simply to take one more look at me, even though I have always shied away from women, I cannot help but be deeply moved by your actions. Since the Lady Goddess is so sincere, if I still continued to ignore your feelings then it would simply spoil the mood… Eh, no, I mean it would simply be far too unappreciative of your kindness.”

Xia Qingyue, “...”

Qianye Ying’er, “...”

Just as Yun Che finished making that solemn announcement, he tried to struggle a bit before speaking with a fatuous smile on his face, “Also, if I speak to you in my current state, it truly is rather inelegant and inappropriate. Do you want to release me first? If you’re here, even if I want to run, I won’t be able to anyways, right?”

As long as he could quietly regain his ability to move, he could grab Xia Qingyue’s hand and use the Void Illusion Stone to escape in the next instant.

“Fine.”

Qianye Ying’er had actually agreed to it straight away. She slowly walked forward and arrived at Yun Che’s side before extending a palm towards Yun Che’s chest… Yet the instant she touched his chest, her hand sprang forward and grabbed his throat.

“Urk…” The sound that Yun Che was about to make was forcefully stopped by those actions. The hand that wrapped around his throat shone like beautiful jade, yet it was as dreadful as a grim reaper’s scythe. It firmly grasped his throat before it slowly lifted him from the ground.

Qianye Ying’er was about as tall as Yun Che, so when she raised her hand, it was enough to completely dangle Yun Che in the air.

“You…” Yun Che’s eyes widened as he barely managed to gasp out that word. He was unable to make a single sound after that.

Qianye Ying’er’s gaze was ice cold as the corners of her lips turned up in a mocking little smile, “You couldn’t have possibly used such clumsy words to make the Heavenly Slaughter Star God become so dead-set on you, right?”

Yun Che’s pupils violently contracted.

But his expression did not change, he croaked out in a pained voice, “The Heavenly Slaughter Star God… is dead-set… on me? What… are you talking about…”

“Oh… you don’t understand what I’m saying?” Qianye Ying’er’s grip began to slowly tighten, causing Yun Che’s throat to begin to twist violently, “Then why don’t you tell me this. Who exactly gave you the Evil God divine powers that you possess?”

This time, Yun Che’s heart was completely overwhelmed with shock.

The Evil God’s legacy, the greatest secret he possessed… Why did she know about it!?

Furthermore, it seemed as if she knew about his relationship with Jasmine as well!

“What… are… you… saying…. I don’t understand… a single word…” He managed to croak out in a dry and hoarse voice.

“Even though your tongue is clumsy and cheap, your mouth is very stubborn,” The corner of Qianye Ying’er’s lips curved up into a smile that was even more mocking than before, “However, you do not need to admit anything. It matters not one bit to me whether you admit it or not.”

At this moment, she began to slowly loosen her grip and immediately, Yun Che fell and slumped to the ground like mud. He still could not move an inch of his body and the only thing he could muster was the occasional twitch and spasm.

“I… really don’t know… what you’re talking about!” Yun Che gasped out roughly but his heart continued to sink at a precipitous rate.

He finally started to understand what Qianye Ying’er wanted, but he simply did not understand why she would know these things…

“Do you know why the Heavenly Slaughter Star God was able to retrieve the inheritance of the Evil God?” Qianye Ying’er suddenly said in a cold voice.

Yun Che, “...”

“Twelve years ago, I just so happened to come across this piece of news. The Southern Divine Region’s Southern Sea God Realm had discovered remnants left behind by the Evil God, and it was very likely that among these were the legacy or rare treasures left behind by the Evil God,” Qianye Ying’er recounted in an indifferent tone. “Thus, I used a unique method to make sure that this news reached the Heavenly Slaughter Star God’s ears.”

Discovering the remnants left behind by a Creation God, such a startling and earth-shaking discovery would definitely be an important secret that could not be leaked to the world. Yet, somehow, the Qianye Ying’er, who did not even belong to the Southern Divine Region, actually knew about it…

Southern Sea…

Yun Che suddenly recalled where he had heard that name…

The Southern Sea God Emperor, one of the four god emperors of the Southern Divine Region… No that was not right, he was their head!

The reason why he knew that name was because of what happened after the Brahma Heaven God Emperor had announced to everyone that he wanted to betroth Qianye Ying’er to the lowly him… He had found out that this Southern Sea God Emperor was extremely infatuated with Qianye Ying’er, and every time he came to the Eastern Divine Region, it was almost always because of her. This was a well-known fact that nearly everyone in the Realm of the Gods knew about.

He was the one who had told Qianye Ying’er!?

“Do you know why I passed this information along to the Heavenly Slaughter Star God?”
