God of Pets

Chapter 454 Must Be Broken
Shang Qingtian gave Chen Guan a serious look, then turned and left, saying, "Go back and tell the Eighth Prince that I will deliver his letter."

"I will certainly relay the message." Teng Mingli came to Chen Guan's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

After experiencing firsthand the power of the Master of Love, she knew how bizarre and terrifying that power was, and she was somewhat worried that Chen Guan was just putting on a brave face.

"It's nothing." Chen Guan shook his head. His protective divine skill should be the Heavenly Counter to the Peak of Love Master, which is why it had such an effect.

Shang Qingtian and Zhao Fuguo walked back, and Zhao Fuguo couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, what's going on with that person? Can his protective divine skill really withstand your Peak of Love Hand?"

"It's not that we can block it, but that we can restrain it," Shang Qingtian said in a deep voice. "Since I created the Peak of Love Mastery, this is the first time I've encountered a true nemesis."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fuguo was even more astonished: "What kind of protective divine skill is that, that it is so powerful?"

"I don't know. I've never seen it before, nor have I ever heard of it. It must be a newly created protective technique, but unfortunately, that person refused to reveal its origin," Shang Qingtian said.

"What should we do? What if our opponents find out that the Master of Love is countered..." Zhao Fuguo said worriedly.

Shang Qingtian laughed: "Old Zhao, you're so old, don't you understand that secret techniques are used by people? Secret techniques can be countered, but people can not necessarily be."

Zhao Fuguo's mood improved upon hearing this: "That's true. If it's really a life-or-death battle, even if he can defeat the Master of Love, it won't matter. In the end, you will definitely win."

As he spoke, Zhao Fuguo added with distress, "Young Master Mo Qiu is still waiting at home, so this will only disappoint him."

"It's normal for life's calculations to go awry most of the time, and he should have realized that by now." Shang Qingtian didn't take it to heart.

Chen Guan did not board the Spirit King's ship again. Teng Mingli drove the ship back the way it came, while he disguised himself, circled around, and entered Samsara City when it was daytime. Then he was teleported out of the secret realm and returned to Shenzhou.

Chen Guan did not go directly to the Beiman Mountain Secret Realm, but instead returned to his hometown first.

He needs to let his parents know he's alright, so they won't worry.

Merchants in Samsara City.

Shang Moqiu was the first to enter the realm of the Supreme Master of Love, thus gaining the qualification to obtain half an inner core.

He waited excitedly for Shang Qingtian to return, only to be told that Shang Qingtian had lost and failed to obtain the half of the inner core.

"How could we possibly lose? Father, your Master of Love is invincible!" Shang Moqiu found it hard to accept, unable to believe that the thing he had been looking forward to so much had fallen through, and even more unable to believe that the Master of Love, whom he had always believed to be invincible, could be defeated.

“There’s no such thing as an invincible secret technique in this world. Even the most skilled lover has a nemesis. Today I’ve met my nemesis and lost completely, accepting defeat wholeheartedly.” Shang Qingtian said, “Alright, go and cultivate.”

"I'm already completely countered by others, what's the point of training?" Shang Moqiu thought to himself, feeling frustrated, but he naturally didn't dare to say it out loud.

He used underhanded tactics to defeat Shang Ziyi, but he didn't expect this outcome; he failed to obtain the inner core.

What was once considered a divine skill has now lost its luster in his heart.

"The Master of Love Techniques has been broken. If I continue to practice it, I will eventually become someone else. I need to find a way to learn another invincible secret technique." Shang Moqiu thought about what kind of composite secret technique he should learn so that it could not be broken by others.

Shang Ziyi also heard about the defeat of the Peak Master of Love from Zhao Fuguo. After learning the details, Shang Ziyi's eyes lit up: "That person's protective divine skill was actually able to break through the Peak Master of Love. If only I could meet him and fight him in person."

"The Master of Love is no longer invincible, so you should make some preparations." Zhao Fuguo instructed Shang Ziyi. Although he did not specify what preparations to make, Shang Ziyi understood the meaning.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, I know what I'm doing." Shang Ziyi nodded.

He did not give up cultivating the Supreme Mastery of Love; on the contrary, he practiced even more diligently.

He wanted to reclaim the glory his father had lost. Disguised, Chen Guan returned to his hometown under the cover of night.

I had just climbed over the wall into the yard when someone shoved a broom over my head.

“You little thief…you still dare to climb over the wall…” Chen Yulian kept slapping Chen Guan with her broom.

"Mom...it's me..." Chen Guan quickly dispelled the power of the giant spirit, returned to his original appearance, and called out in a low voice.

"I'm going to beat you up, you little thief." Chen Yulian swung her broom even harder.

Tired from hitting him, Chen Yulian threw the broom aside and glared at Chen Guan, saying angrily, "You've been gone for so long without a word, no messages, no phone calls. Have you forgotten your mother now that you have a wife? You little ingrate!"

"Mom, there's no signal in the secret realm. How am I supposed to make a call or send a message?" Chen Guan walked up behind Chen Yulian and massaged her shoulders and arms in a conciliatory manner.

"Why don't you come out and make the call?" Chen Yulian said irritably.

"How could I forget about this trick? You're so smart, Mom," Chen Guan quickly flattered her.

He also knew that it was wrong of him not to contact his family for so long.

"It's the middle of the night, you and your son shouldn't be putting on an act here. We don't have any judges in our family, so you won't win any awards by showing off your acting skills." Chen Xinghe came out wearing a coat.

"What did you say?" Chen Yulian glared at him.

Chen Xinghe quickly changed his expression to a smile: "What I mean is, this brat hasn't contacted his family for so long, he deserves a beating, a good beating."

Chen Yulian wasn't really angry; it was just that Chen Guan had never been away from her for so long in his life, and she missed him.

"Have you eaten yet?" Chen Yulian asked.

"In the middle of the night..." Chen Xinghe started to say, but when he saw Chen Yulian glaring at him, he immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

"No, Mom, I want to eat shrimp dumplings," Chen Guan said.

"It's the middle of the night, where am I going to get you shrimp dumplings? Just eat whatever you have, wait here." Chen Yulian said, turning to go to the kitchen to get busy.

Chen Guan and Chen Xinghe returned to the house and talked while drinking tea.

Chen Guan recounted everything he had seen and heard recently, as well as the things that puzzled him, hoping to get answers from Chen Xinghe.

A short while later, Chen Yulian brought up a few side dishes and two small bottles of wine for the father and son to have a couple of drinks.

After listening to Chen Guan's explanation, Chen Xinghe pondered for a moment before saying, "The Chief Judge wants to regain control of the Heavenly Court Army to prevent the Xiu and Ji families from becoming too powerful, but he also doesn't want the Heavenly Court Army's strength to be weakened. He hopes to make the transition smooth. The Ji and Xiu families are also aware of this. It's not easy for any of the three parties to break the deadlock now."

"In your opinion, Dad, how should I break this deadlock?" Chen Guan asked.

"Why do you want to break the deadlock?" Chen Xinghe's words startled Chen Guan.

"If you want to obtain the Heavenly Court Army, the best way to break the deadlock is not to break it at all," Chen Xinghe said after taking a sip of his wine.

Chen Guan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's pointless. I don't want to be a dog, nor do I want to be all alone, so this situation must be broken."
