I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 174: She's definitely up to something!

Despite failing to reach the Mahayana stage, the lightning tribulation didn't leave her half-dead. Several months later, Su Jinxi's demon form actually evolved.

Does this woman always seem to have good luck?

Is this truly his fate, destined to always be overshadowed by Su Jinxi?

"Don't ask me that. I just want to tell you that His Majesty the Demon Emperor's 'great undertaking' won't be easy to achieve."

"Stop talking nonsense! I don't care what you're saying... Anyway, as the Grand Elder of a clan, you're spouting so much arrogance. It's time for you to step down from your position as Grand Elder!"

Su Luo shouted angrily, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it. Trying to take Su Jinxi's place in front of her was a bit too arrogant. And it seemed he couldn't beat Su Jinxi...

But Su Jinxi just rolled her eyes.

"what ever."

Great elder?

If I don't want to, then I don't want to.

She used to complain about having too much work when she was the Grand Elder, and it would be the same if Su Luo took the position. She just couldn't understand why the clan leader insisted on putting her in that position in the first place.

Seeing how carefree she was, even somewhat indifferent, I was struck by her nonchalant demeanor.

Su Luo was now even more confused about what was going on.

"We're not that close. I've done all I can. Just be careful."

She turned and left, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

Su Jinxi still needed to think about what to do with the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan. Staying here to argue with Su Luo was pointless.

Su Luo didn't stop her. The angry shout that was on the tip of his tongue was abruptly cut off. He just watched her gradually receding figure. On her anxious and angry face, only the look in her eyes was very deep.

"Yes, she hasn't changed at all."

Mu Gu watched Su Jinxi leave, his expression subtle and intriguing.

Su Jinxi was still very domineering—that was Mu Gu's only feeling.

In the past, he had tried many times to peek under her skirt, but every time he was about to succeed, he was caught and given a good beating.

The beating left Mu Gu with many psychological scars, but he also became more and more courageous in battle.

Seeing you again today, your imposing and domineering presence has only grown stronger by leaps and bounds...

However, Su Luo's expression was quite intriguing, as if a variety of negative emotions were intertwined, which made Mu Gu feel uneasy.

I wonder what he's thinking.

"Mugu, let's follow them."

Su Luo spoke in a cold voice.

"Where to?" Mu Gu asked blankly.

"Follow her! I want to see what kind of bewitching this Su Jinxi has become!"

Su Luo squinted, staring straight ahead, a hint of determination to get to the bottom of things flashing in his eyes.

His "good cousin" left in the direction of the human realm.

Why would she stay in human territory? Is there something there that attracts her?

Or is it that Su Jinxi's demon body was able to evolve to the fourth level because she had some kind of fortuitous encounter over there?

There's definitely something fishy going on! Su Luo naturally had no reason to just leave Su Jinxi and her "secret" undiscovered without finding out what was going on.

……

Night falls.

Inside Gu's Medical Clinic, Qin Yiyao and Bai Feier, who had just enjoyed a hearty meal of python meat, were listening to Gu Heng recount what had happened after they fell into a coma.

"...So in the end, Qingfeng Baoxing was destroyed, which can be considered an explanation to you."

Gu Heng coughed lightly and poured tea for the two maids.

They had only been awake for a short time, so there were some things I had to tell them myself. For example, Qingfeng Baoxing, who had hired assassins to kill them, had been dealt with, and that was considered revenge.

"Master, there's no need to worry so much."

Qin Yiyao smiled and took a sip of tea.

It was just an assassination attempt. Besides, that assassin was pretty weak. Despite being so much stronger in cultivation, he still had to expend a lot of effort to kill the two of them and still failed.

Back when I was still the Holy Yao Emperor, those who came to assassinate me were all important figures.

Gu Heng rolled his eyes.

It's impossible not to worry. The little girl has been lying in bed for so long, he's afraid she might not wake up. How could he not worry?

"...Anyway, there's no need to worry now. Those instigators are all dead, and President Feng Wuxin has assured me that such a thing will never happen again."

Now, Gu's Medical Clinic is at least safe. The most deadly enemy is gone, so at least we can have a few good years.

Gu Heng never caused this much trouble when he was in Qingmu City.
