Chapter 221: Fighting for Love

In the morning, Ling Pingan yawned, put on his slippers, walked to the bathroom, and began to brush his teeth.

Gulp Gulp Gulp..

His pet cat followed behind him, obediently and cutely sitting at his heels.

Ling Pingan turned around and looked at the little guy.

It looked like a child who had done something wrong.

“How cute!” He thought. Then, he took the cup and rinsed his mouth.

Then, he picked up the little guy and said, “Little guy, you must have done something bad behind my back last night!”

He had known about it since the little guy ran into the bedroom in the middle of the night and gave him a few toys.

But..

Even if his pet had done something wrong.

For example, he had bitten the sofa or urinated and defecated on the floor.

Actually, it didn’t matter.

As long as it didn’t hurt or affect others.

Meow!

The kitten meowed softly and stuck out its tongue. It licked the back of Ling Pingan’s hand with a very ingratiating expression.

“It’s okay! It’s okay!” Ling Pingan stroked the little guy’s head. “Seeing that you’re so obedient, even if you did something wrong and someone came to find you, I will help you bear the responsibility!”

Even if this guy sneaked out last night and did something bad, the most he could do was apologize.

Moreover, they were all neighbors, so no one would make things difficult for him.

Thinking of this, Ling Pingan carried this guy down the stairs.

Creak Creak.

The stairs shook gently.

Ling Pingan walked into the bookstore and looked at the entire bookstore.

He nodded. “My bookstore seems to be a little different today!”

He walked to the bookshelf that he painstakingly built yesterday and picked up a book.

He felt that this book seemed to have become a little better looking!

He took a sniff and there seemed to be some fragrance on the pages!

Therefore, he solemnly moved this book, the muscle tendon changing scripture, to a different place.

Then, he caught a glimpse of another book from the corner of his eye.

This was a manga.

It was an old manga from many years ago.

Its name was son of the Sun. It could be considered Ling Pingan’s childhood memory.

Looking at this manga, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“My home is in the ocean… The Sun has given me strength…”he hummed this song lightly and placed this manga book in a conspicuous place.

Ling Pingan felt that there would definitely be customers who liked such an old comic!

In his arms, the kitten Bastet, with its amber cat eyes, watched everything intently.

Because it remembered very clearly that the “Muscle Tendon Changing Scripture” that its master had picked up first was the tribute that the unclean one had paid last night.

And the “Son of the Sun” that it was holding now was the tribute of those glowing spheres.

The thought that the man in pure black had before he left appeared once again in his mind: you should learn well from the anthropology of this world!

He finally realized how terrible and serious his mistake was!

His master indeed knew everything.

It was just that his brain circuitry was different from everyone else’s.

Therefore, his way of handling things was something that ordinary people could not understand.

Even the gods could not predict it.

But he would respond.

Just like now..

He casually picked up last night’s tribute from the two groups of tributes that had entered this place to pay tribute despite being made difficult by this stupid cat.

It seemed simple and casual.

But in fact, it contained deep meaning.

It was even more of a direct statement.

This was recognition for the loyal servants and also a reward for them!

The Cat Goddess, who had once ruled Egypt directly, instantly understood.

How precious was this recognition and reward!

One only needed to put themselves in their shoes to understand it — the pharaohs of ancient Egypt often did the same thing.

They gave priority to use and taste the things that they liked from their slaves.

This immediately conveyed his own attitude — I like this slave!

Thus, he didn’t need any orders, much less an attitude.

The people below would automatically raise the status of the slave that Pharaoh liked.

This was the art of domination!

But..

All of this wouldn’t happen in itself.

Everything originated from him — as the owner’s pet, he took the initiative to eat and take.

He gave others a chance to show off.

And so..

The Cat Goddess’s body trembled.

Because he finally understood.

This consumed his favor!

After understanding this, the Cat Goddess’s regret and pain far surpassed the torture of last night.

He finally knew how stupid he was!

Ling Pingan carried his pet and walked to the counter.

Then, he saw the bronze artifact placed in the corner of the counter.

“By the way, I promised to give this to aunty last time…” He picked it up. “I forgot…”

“Should I send it by express mail?”

After thinking for a while, he put the artifact down.

“Let’s talk about it when Aunty comes back…” He said, “It’s just an ordinary artifact… There’s no need to go through so much trouble…”

The main thing was to send it over. He didn’t know if Auntie would like it.

If she didn’t like it, it would be a bad thing!

Therefore, he put down the item and said to himself, “If Auntie doesn’t like it, I’ll put it on the internet… at least I can exchange it for some money…”

The kitten in his arms trembled when it heard that.

In the amber cat’s eyes, Taotie, who had been put back into the counter, was so scared that his body was shaking.

Put It on the internet?

Hehe!

Who would dare to take something that the ruler didn’t want?

Therefore, the little cat knew, and Taotie also knew, that once Taotie was put on the internet by its owner, it would become an artifact.

Then, the Little Taotie would really become a dead object!

This was the most obvious warning!

Ling Pingan turned around and looked inside the shop.

The sofa was good, and the floor was clean.

So..

He looked at the kitten in his arms.

“Did you really go out and do bad things last night?”He asked.

Meow!

The kitten was pitifully curled up in its master’s arms.

It was extremely afraid!

Ling Pingan looked at it and couldn’t help but feel his heart soften.

“Don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid!” He stroked the kitten’s head. “The sky is falling, and big brother is still here!”

If the little cat really did something bad and was found, then he would definitely admit his mistake and apologize.

They were all neighbors, nothing serious!

But..

“But, little boy, you have to remember, we have to abide by the law!”He seriously lectured his pet. “You can’t do bad things, and you can’t do things that affect others, understand?”

This was because the neighbors in this neighborhood had been neighbors for decades.

If people respect me, I will respect them.

As a person, you have to be tactful!

The neighbors could forgive him once or twice, but when it came to the third time, they would definitely have an opinion.

Cats were important, but so were neighbors.

Ling Pingan was a protective son, but he was not an unreasonable person.

When the time came, if someone really came looking for him…

What else could he do?

He would bring this cat with him and apologize to them.

If he was beaten, he had to stand at attention!

Meow!

The kitten meowed obediently, as if it was admitting its mistake and repenting.

Ling pingan nodded.

This pet could know its mistake, and even took the initiative to admit it was wrong.

It was understandable!

So, Ling Pingan patted its brains and comforted it, “It’s okay, it’s okay…”

… … … … ..

Bang!

Ran Bing’s rifle fired a high-explosive bullet!

Bang! A protective umbrella employee wearing an exoskeleton fell from the high platform with an incredulous look in his eyes.

He fell off the platform.

Dark green blood spurted out of the exoskeleton armor.

He struggled with all his might.

His pair of deep blue eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Mortal…”

“You’re just a mortal!”

Ran Bing walked in front of him and pressed her rifle against his throat. Then, she stepped on his exoskeleton armor and peeled it off his body.

Ran Bing pulled off the nameplate hanging on his body.

Under the vision of darkness, the words on the nameplate could be clearly seen.

The commander of the Umbrella Armed Forces, Battalion A, Smith.

“Mr. Smith…” Ran Bing said expressionlessly, “On behalf of the world, I wish you all the best!”

As she said that, the rifle in her hand gave birth to endless strength. It devoured the soul and flesh of the already subdued umbrella employee!

In just an instant, the umbrella employee who had undergone genetic modification surgery and had become immortal in a certain sense had turned into a petrified statue.

Ran Bing’s foot loosened.

Bam, Bam, the entire stone statue shattered into pieces.

Within the fragments, a thumb-sized crystal could be clearly seen!

This was the control chip that the umbrella had embedded in his body!

Ran Bing exerted some strength, and the chip slowly melted, turning into a five-dollar coin!

“It’s the twentieth one!” Ran Bing raised her head and looked at the pyramid above her head. Countless silver crystals were changing positions.

This was the person controlling the protective umbrella here. He was trying to activate the mechanisms of this pyramid to trap and kill her.

Unfortunately..

Ran Bing raised her rifle and sneered.

“Here, I am the true master!”

The murmurs by her ears sounded softly.

She explained the internal structure of this pyramid and the control methods of the various mechanisms.

Thus, Ran Bing walked to the wall.

She stretched out her hand and pressed down on a floating silver crystal.

As the crystal caved in.

The entire pyramid shook violently.

She stretched out her hand and took out a silver cube from the inner wall of the pyramid.

As a result, the control of the pyramid instantly changed hands!

At Ran Bing’s command, all the passages and doors within the pyramid were locked down!

Furthermore, all the umbrella members in the pyramid were isolated in one region after another.

… … ..

They continued to go deeper into the archipelago.

After passing through the forests and streams, Han Li soon entered the land that had been eroded by the abyss.

The land here had already turned dark red.

The potholed land was filled with dark green puddles.

The gurgling dark green body of water was boiling within.

It was filled with corrosive gases that filled the air.

This place was not suitable for any human to live.

This was the paradise of the demons.

However, Han Li held her head high and puffed out her chest as she stepped into the territory of the Abyss!

Caw Caw Caw Caw..

A group of small demons came out from the back of the hill. They waved the fireballs in their hands and attacked Han Li.

These were inferior demons.

The bottom creatures of the abyss.

Han Li gently waved the spirit blade in her hand and jumped up high.

A bright light exploded from the spirit blade in her hand.

Her body appeared behind the inferior demons like an illusion.

Spiritual light streaked across the inferior demons’bodies.

Plop! Plop!

One inferior demon after another fell.

Their bodies were cut into countless pieces.

Han Li’s figure appeared on a nearby hillside.

She held the spirit blade and raised her head gently.

Han Li could already feel several powerful wills staring at her.

The things hidden in the shadows behind her were already excited.

“The quality of these tributes might be average…” The murmurs by her ears were slightly excited. “But… If you pay the tribute…”

“The Great Ruler will be very happy!”

Paying tribute was just an attitude.

To show his loyalty to the eternal ruler.

Although he might not care about these things.

But..

Doing and not doing were two completely different concepts.

And..

This human was chosen by the ruler.

Therefore..

They were so active.

They didn’t even care about their own tribute and focused on it.

The reason was the same — attitude!

In essence, this was a competition for favor!

And now, the god of Faceless had lost points.

So, as long as one side scored, even if it was just one point!

It was progress, an advantage!

The final settlement was the key to victory!

So, everyone who invested in this human was very happy!

There was nothing more worth being happy about than seeing the god of Faceless Lose!

For the first time, the murmurs revealed their feelings.

He was too happy!

Han Li didn’t know about these things.

But listening to the murmurs, she felt the excitement of the things hidden in her shadow.

She raised her head fearlessly and threatened those terrifying existences who were staring at her.

“Get out of our world!” Han Li said loudly, “Devil!”

“I’ll give you one last chance!”

She raised the spirit blade in her hand. “Don’t say that you didn’t expect it!”

… … … ..

Zhi Zhu’s will looked through the clouds at the ungrateful human.

“How dare you!” Zhi Zhu thought, “How dare you set foot on the territory of the Abyss and talk so shamelessly!”

However, she did not act rashly.

It was not just because this was not her territory. If she acted rashly, she might offend Rupcio and the Shadow Devil Queen behind him.

She might even have a direct conflict with Gela Zite!

And because..

Zhi Zhu had already smelled the smell of conspiracy!

As a master of conspiracy, he was too familiar with this smell.

So..

“This human is strange…”

Zhi Zhu quietly hid her divine sense. “Let Rupcio test her…”

“At most, after Rupcio captures her, I will come out and buy this human from Rupcio…”

For the demon lords of the Abyss, nothing could not be traded!

As long as the price was right, they could even sell themselves!

Of course, the prerequisite was that both sides had equal strength in the trade.

Otherwise, they would instantly be blackmailed!

This was the essence of demons — chaos, disorder, repetition!
