Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

The group marched aggressively and in a grand procession toward the location of the Central Region Demon Lord. However, to their surprise, when they arrived, they found that the Central Region Demon Lord had not fled in panic, but instead stood there calmly, and even cruelly murdered the Western Region Demon Lord who had come to him for refuge in front of everyone.

This Demon Lord of the Central Region had long since become a puppet in the hands of others; to be precise, he was actually Li Xin's original form. As early as when he learned of the rebellious gods' plot to harm Jiang Shiliu, the meticulous Li Xin keenly sensed something amiss. Therefore, he decisively chose to remain inactive, not getting involved in the fierce conflict, but instead carefully concealing himself and quietly hiding away.

Meanwhile, to divert attention and confuse the public, Li Xin cleverly laid out a smokescreen. He deliberately created various illusions, leading Jiang Shiliu and the others to suspect the two demon lords from the Western and Eastern Regions of being involved in the matter, thus successfully eliminating himself from suspicion. After all, "Where there's life, there's hope"—such a simple and easy-to-understand principle, how could Li Xin, as a supreme god, not know it? If he were to rashly reveal himself now, he would likely only fall into an abyss of no return. Only by enduring for a while and waiting for the right opportunity could he have a chance to turn the tide and reverse defeat.

Jiang Shiliu was a seasoned veteran, and Li Xin's petty tricks were nothing more than childhood games to her. In reality, the so-called collusion between the Western and Central Demon Lords to open some kind of passage was merely a lie Jiang Shiliu had casually fabricated. During her soul search of the Eastern Demon Lord, she unexpectedly discovered traces of Li Xin's divine power. Li Xin cleverly used his divine power to deceive both Demon Lords, while he himself remained invisible, never revealing himself.

"Li Xin, Li Xin! Do you think you have a chance of winning by playing these tricks with me, the Goddess? Li Yue, this is your brother, deal with him yourself. Don't disappoint me~" Jiang Shiliu did not send anyone else to confront Li Xin, because she thought it was unnecessary.

"Your subordinate obeys!" A hint of killing intent flashed in Li Yue's eyes.

"Brother!? Weren't you killed by the Lotus Goddess, leaving not even ashes? How come you're here? Why are you still obeying her orders?!" Li Xin stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"This was originally just part of the plan, but your appearance became an accident. You colluded with a rebellious god and plotted to harm the Lotus God. I can no longer keep you here. Don't blame me; blame yourself..."

"I did nothing wrong! Everything I did was for you! Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Ha, how laughable. If you hadn't deliberately interfered, causing problems with the God's Book of Fate, how could I have been cast into this small world, enduring endless reincarnations!"

Upon hearing his brother's words, Li Xin's face showed a mixture of grief and indignation. "Brother, I did this all because I love you. I don't want to see you forever subservient to the Lotus God. If we join forces, we can control the entire divine realm."

Li Yue remained unmoved, summoning a magical artifact that gleamed with a chilling light. "Your love is twisted; it will only bring disaster. Today, I will cleanse your house."

Knowing that begging for mercy was useless, Li Xin's eyes hardened. His magical power surged, distorting the surrounding space. "Since that's the case, then let's fight to the death."

The two instantly clashed, the light from their magical clash illuminating the surrounding area. Jiang Shiliu watched quietly from the side, as if observing a drama.

In the fierce battle, Li Xin gradually fell behind Li Yue. But just as Li Yue was about to deliver the final blow, Li Xin suddenly detonated his divine energy. The powerful force spread outwards, and Li Yue, unable to dodge, was severely injured. Jiang Shiliu raised her hand to set up a barrier to block the impact.

After the dust settled, Jiang Shiliu sighed softly, "This is the consequence of greed and prejudice." Then she left the battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder with the injured Li Yue.

At that very moment, all the remnants of the rebellious gods had been completely eradicated, but in reality, Li Xin was not truly dead. A cunning and shrewd person like him would surely have left himself an escape route. However, Jiang Shiliu had already seen through everything and sealed off all possible escape routes for him.

Because of that last remaining wisp of his soul, Jiang Shiliu acted without hesitation, utterly destroying him. From that moment on, there was no trace of Li Xin, the supreme god, left in this world; even the possibility of reincarnation was no longer possible!

In Jiang Shiliu's boudoir atop Tianyan Peak, which belongs to the Xuantian Sword Sect.

Jiang Shiliu gazed at Li Yue, who was bedridden due to his injuries, and asked softly, "Li Yue, do you feel any remorse for this matter?"

Li Yue raised his head slightly, his gaze meeting Jiang Shiliu's with unwavering resolve, and answered decisively, "I will never regret it! If I were to kill him myself, I would have no regrets whatsoever. It was precisely because of my excessive indulgence that this plan has taken such a turn for the worse. Since I gave him life in the first place, I naturally have the right to take it back now!" As he spoke, a resolute glint flashed in Li Yue's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu nodded slightly in agreement, then said slowly, "Very well, then I will find someone else for you to lead. To be honest, the undercover agent I planted was unfortunately abandoned by those traitorous gods and sent to a small world, forced into the cycle of reincarnation. I speculate that he should still be an infant, a helpless baby."

"It wouldn't be that Yue you adopted in this world before, would it?" Li Yue frowned, as if he had suddenly remembered something important, and quickly asked.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Jiang Shiliu nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face: "That's right, it's him. That child is named Yue'er, and I raised him myself. Over the years, our bond has grown incredibly strong; he would never betray me. His so-called betrayal was just a performance for those people to see." As she spoke, Jiang Shiliu picked up her teacup and took a small sip of the fragrant tea.

Li Yue's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "But...but as far as I know, hasn't he killed you several times before? Could this also be part of your plan?"

Jiang Shiliu put down her teacup, nodded slowly, and explained, "That's right. Before each reincarnation, Yue'er would carefully collect my remains from the previous time, according to the plan we had discussed beforehand. The purpose of doing this was to lay a solid foundation for my successful restoration as the Lotus God in the future. It's just a pity that his actions were eventually discovered by the enemy. But it doesn't matter, fortunately I had made arrangements in advance and sent someone to safely bring him back to the God Space from the small world. Once you see him, you just need to take good care of him."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey. So, when will we be able to return to the God Realm?" Li Yue asked respectfully, his eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness.

Jiang Shiliu nodded slightly and replied softly, "Don't rush, let me heal your injuries first. After all, only when we are sure you are healthy can our subsequent actions proceed smoothly." With that, she raised her hand lightly, and a dazzling light instantly surged from her palm, enveloping Li Yue's body like a soft light curtain.

Time passed second by second. Under the continuous nourishment of this magical light, the originally shocking wounds on Li Yue's body began to heal and shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they finally disappeared completely. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Yue, who was previously seriously injured, had completely recovered. Not only was his blood and energy abundant and his spirit refreshed, but even his strength had subtly improved.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiliu nodded in satisfaction and smiled at Li Yue, saying, "Alright, you're fine now and can handle the various affairs within the God Realm normally. If I hadn't healed you in time, all those tedious tasks would have fallen on my shoulders!" With that, she turned and walked away, preparing to open the passage to the mysterious upper realm.

Li Yue, who had initially felt somewhat touched, was instantly dampened by Jiang Shiliu's words. But Li Yue had no choice; he was just an employee! Besides, without Jiang Shiliu's guidance, he wouldn't have gotten this position, so he had to just obediently do his job.
