She became a god

On a mountain a hundred miles outside the border of the State of Yu.

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "Ah-Gei, why won't you go to the Kingdom of Yu?"

Feng Hui said calmly, "One of you is enough to cause turmoil in the Yu Kingdom. If I were to join you, the Yu Kingdom would truly be in chaos."

This explanation was plausible, and Ye Qingzhou indeed didn't dwell on the issue any further.

In fact, if Mu Sha hadn't been in Yu Kingdom, Feng Ai would have been reluctant to part with Ye Qingzhou.

Unfortunately, Mu Sha, who had always claimed to be in seclusion, has been unusually active in recent years, seemingly busy with some things.

Feng Wei knew that her identity was special, and that if she were to descend upon the Yu Kingdom, it would inevitably arouse much speculation.

Humans and demons are different. The sudden arrival of the demon lord in Yu Kingdom will surely make the human race uneasy.

Feng Hui has no intention of waging war against the human realm for the time being, so she naturally will not go to the Yu Kingdom.

If one day her cultivation becomes unparalleled in the world, then the Yu Kingdom will naturally appear on the map of the demon realm.

Although Mu Sha's cultivation level far surpasses Feng Ai's, she still has this confidence.

After all, Mu Sha didn't have the qualifications to become a god, and her ascension would be to the Immortal Realm.

But his future was that of the God of Fire.

As long as your cultivation level is high enough, no difficulty is a problem.

"Ah-Hey, you've disconnected again!"

Ye Qingzhou's complaints could be heard in his ears.

The term "disconnected" was strange and initially Feng Rui couldn't quite understand it.

But Ye Qingzhou told her that living beings are puppets of fate, their bodies covered in threads of cause and effect, and that they should follow the laws of society to say the right thing and do the right thing.

If a being falls silent when it should be speaking or acting, then it has gone offline.

Feng Hui cleared her throat. "I'm thinking."

Ye Qingzhou joked, "We're just having a casual chat, not discussing philosophy."

"Could it be that my words and actions are imbued with Daoist principles, which have greatly benefited you and led to your sudden enlightenment?"

Feng Yi knew that Ye Qingzhou always liked to make witty remarks, so she wasn't annoyed. Instead, she went along with her words and said, "Indeed, I've had some sudden realizations."

Ye Qingzhou's eyes widened, as if pondering the truth of the words. "What did you suddenly realize?"

Feng Rui smiled. "It's a secret."

"Hmph!" Ye Qingzhou turned his back, leaving Feng Hui with a domineering and imposing silhouette.

Of course, exuding domineering aura was Ye Qingzhou's expectation of himself, but what Feng Hui saw was a perfectly round triangular rice ball.

As the sun set, Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but turn back to look at Feng Hui, only to be met with a pair of smiling eyes.

"Are you calmed down?"

"without!"

Helpless, Feng Sui grabbed Ye Qingzhou's arm, pried her hand open, and placed a golden apple inside.

The greedy little panda clutched the golden apple tightly, its round eyes fixed on it, and the smile on its lips was impossible to hide.

"Are you calm now?"

"Hmph!" Ye Qingzhou took a bite of the golden apple. It was delicious, really.

"I, the great demon, am magnanimous and will reluctantly forgive you!"

Seeing Ye Qingzhou's serious expression, Feng Sui was amused.

The anxiety that had arisen in my heart because of that secret report had lessened considerably.

That night, Fengwei stroked the little panda's fluffy tail and slowly drifted off to sleep.

[Tsk! You're not planning to use Feng Mei to get through your transformation period, are you?!]

Faced with Shen Zhou's teasing, Ye Qingzhou calmly replied, "Since you're unwilling to merge with me, my soul is incomplete, and I will periodically revert to my original form."

[I've been busy with planning and cultivation, and with occasional periods of deep sleep, I've been suppressing my transformation phase with medication for many years.]

If I continue to suppress this, once I am seriously injured, I will immediately revert to my original form and will not be able to transform into my innate Dao body for a hundred years.

That would be too disadvantageous for me. I can only take advantage of the situation before it descends into chaos and spend ten years in my original form to stabilize my soul.

[Feng Hui won't kill me, and she even intends to please me. Choosing her, with her profound cultivation, to protect me during my Transformation Stage for ten years is the most suitable option for me.]

Chen Zhou said softly, "I see. I thought you were afraid I'd use this body for bad things, so you deliberately reverted to your original form to reduce my combat power."

"What are you planning to do now?" Ye Qingzhou thought for a moment, then asked, "Is it about the Evil Emperor's treasure that requires the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to open?"

Chen Zhou said, "First of all, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls have only one master from beginning to end, and that is me. Considering our special relationship, you could be considered half a master of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls."

Secondly, the Evil Emperor's Treasure is originally my treasure. Everything inside was obtained through my own strength, so it's perfectly normal for me to keep what's mine.

Finally, Mu Sha and Wen Ning still owe me a debt of karma. As their creditor, isn't it only right that I try to collect it?

Ye Qingzhou nodded. "What you said is all correct. But I'm curious... are you sure you can get this debt back smoothly?"

Why not?

Ye Qingzhou analyzed, "[Mu Sha and Wen Ning are both half-step ascension, and there's also my master An Qi, a realm ruler, involved. Faced with such absolute power, can your plan really succeed?]"

[Ha! Anqi is restrained by Feng Hui, but I have my own ways with Mu Sha and Wen Ning.]

Ye Qingzhou was taken aback. [How did this involve A-Hei?]

Chen Zhou laughed. "Your A-Jie has quite the ambition. Not only has she established surveillance offices throughout the demon realm, but she's also spread her spies throughout the other five realms."

Why did she only come to comfort you when the sun was almost setting? It's because her spies have found out about the Evil Emperor's treasure. Don't be fooled by her sound sleep in your arms; her heart is already set on the Evil Emperor's treasure.

Given Feng Wei's ambition, once she learns of this, she will certainly not sit idly by and wait for her doom; she will definitely try every means to get a share of the spoils.

Ye Qingzhou knew she couldn't persuade her, so she stopped thinking about it and tentatively asked Chenzhou, "Are you really capable of handling Mu Sha and Wen Ning?"

I need your help.

Ye Qingzhou had anticipated this. [What exactly do you need me to do?]

At that time, you will temporarily relinquish control of your body to me and fully cooperate with my actions.

Ye Qingzhou nodded, but she still had doubts. [You've lived in the Red Panda Clan for tens of thousands of years in your true spirit form, yet you possess a vast collection of high-end spiritual treasures comparable to those in the system's shop. This means you must have a suitable place to store them. Why did the Evil Emperor's Treasure escape your control?]

Chen Zhou said calmly, "It's tasteless to discard, but a pity to keep it."

"Huh?" Ye Qingzhou reacted, and slowly said, "Could it be that everything in the Evil Emperor's Treasure Trove is of little use to you?"

Yes, but many of the treasures are of relatively high quality, such as the "Tales of the Underworld" that Anqi has been longing for.

Ye Qingzhou's mind raced. "Would that be of great use to me?"

Chen Zhou rolled his eyes. "In a way, you are me, and I am you, don't you think?"

The greatest use those treasures can be for you is to give them as gifts and rewards to other living beings.

[However, you don't really need these things. Once you take control of Yingdu and inherit the Lu family's fortune, you'll have everything you need. Think long-term.]

Ye Qingzhou's smile faded, and he asked seriously, "Are you afraid I'll take a share of your assets?"

Chen Zhou said frankly, "Yes. You're too poor right now. It would be too unfair for me to share the assets with you. Once you receive the Lu family's inheritance in Yingdu, I can share all the assets with you."

Ye Qingzhou: ……………

It turns out that when a being is too poor, even its richest counterpart in the world is unwilling to lend a helping hand.

As expected, no living being enjoys helping the poor.
