What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"So do you think I still like you now? Do I care about your feelings?" Su Yan looked into her eyes and spoke in a gentle voice, as if she were discussing something that had nothing to do with her.

Without a second's hesitation, Gu Yuqiu said matter-of-factly, "I've always been very confident about this."

This was simply a matter of habit, and it was also her long-held self-perception, something she no longer needed to think about.

"sorry."

Su Yan smiled and raised her right hand, landing it on her face without hesitation.

With a snap.

Incredibly crisp.

Gu Yuqiu was sent flying and crashed into the fence. Blood gushed from his mouth, staining his clothes red once again, making him look extremely miserable.

"You are so narcissistic that I have no way of not hating you anymore. So now I only feel endless disgust for you."

Su Yan walked up to her, looked down at her, and said, "So I don't like you anymore."

Gu Yuqiu didn't know what to say.

This was something she had never thought about before, and at this moment she felt a rare sense of bewilderment.

"Oh, sorry."

Su Yan's smile widened as she said, "This is Lin Mushi's body, not yours, so you still owe me a slap."

Gu Yuqiu wondered what to do.

She lowered her eyelids slightly, looking at her face reflected in the puddle on the ground, at the exceptionally clear handprint, still finding it hard to accept the fact.

However, the reality is always like this, never pleasing to the eye, and rarely a stroke of luck.

She looked up at Su Yan and said, "Aren't you going to ask me if I like you or not?"

Su Yan's smile gradually faded, and she said, "I can't believe I'm hearing such romantic and melodramatic talk from you. It seems you're a bit confused right now."

Gu Yuqiu thought so.

She was extremely powerful, and the current situation in Xin Chu was almost entirely within her calculations, but she habitually overlooked certain things, leading to today's unexpected turn of events.

This was something she had never thought about before, had no prior experience with, and was the first time she had ever been slapped in this life or the last. It was not surprising that she was slightly flustered.

“I won’t ask you that question, but so that you don’t misunderstand that I’m avoiding the question, I’ll tell you why I won’t ask.”

Su Yan looked into her eyes and said, "Because I don't like you anymore, I don't need to care whether you like me or not. That's my reason."

Gu Yuqiu remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "I agree with your reasoning."

You're welcome.

Su Yan turned and left without looking at her again, saying, "Let me give you one last piece of advice: never overestimate yourself, and... underestimate me."

Chapter 108: Chapter 106 Each and Their Own Answer

The rain gradually subsided, and the sky began to brighten.

Watching Su Yan's departing figure disappear into the distance, Gu Yuqiu remained silent for a long time.

She raised her hand, feeling the pain all over her body, and her fingertips touched her cheek, followed by a burning sensation.

Until this moment, she finally accepted the reality before her, no longer believing that everything was just an illusion. She remained silent for a while, unsure of what to do, and then sighed.

Even if she's certain it's true, what can she do?

Could she possibly go back in time and block that slap?

That's impossible.

No one can do it.

She realized this, and her mood improved slightly. She felt that it wasn't her fault and she was no longer so confused, but she still couldn't help but complain, thinking, "You're saying I'm too narcissistic?"

She disagreed with many points regarding Su Yan's last sentence and could have easily refuted it, whether out of pride or something else.

Because she has every right to be proud.

Of course, there was one more important thing that she simply couldn't accept!

"Do I still owe you a slap?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"It's really weird."

Gu Yuqiu muttered to herself, her expression growing colder and her breathing becoming heavier.

The next moment, she suddenly calmed down and thought of something very troublesome.

If she doesn't use the methods she prepared beforehand, the gap between her and Su Yan is too vast, and she has no chance of winning.

So Su Yan is really going to slap her again... what should she do?

She thought about it very carefully, but still couldn't come to a conclusion. She realized that she simply couldn't imagine that scene, and her mood worsened.

Just then, the thunder that had been lingering in the dense clouds in the distance finally resounded throughout the heavens and earth, transforming into a streak of light that could not be seen with the naked eye, and rushed toward this place.

That is naturally Lu Xiu.

This is a very short process.

However, for a powerhouse like Gu Yuqiu, there is enough time to make a reasonable decision that best suits their current emotions.

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

She glanced down at herself, only to find that from this angle, it was difficult to see her abdomen, so she raised her hand and gently touched it.

A moment later, she closed her eyes.

……

……

At the same time, thunder roared overhead.

Lu Xiu's figure appeared on the overpass, with faint arcs of electricity swirling around him, purifying away any remaining traces of energy in the surrounding area.

He looked at Lin Mushi, and seeing his subordinate's miserable state covered in blood, he subconsciously sighed, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"how is this possible?"

Lu Xiu walked slowly towards Lin Mushi, his gaze falling on the ring. He stared blankly for a long time before saying with a sigh, "So that's how it is."

At the start of this battle, he went to the helipad on the top floor of the Special Affairs Bureau, his gaze piercing through countless storms and darkness, landing on the bridge there.

However, just a second before he was about to make his move, a deep sigh reached his ears, stopping the thunderous spear from falling, thus leading to the battle that followed.

He had assumed that the sigh came from the Pope, the one considered the closest to the sixth rank, who had arrived in Xin Chu ahead of time and personally orchestrated today's events.

Fortunately, his guess was wrong, because the existence of the ring undoubtedly proved that the sigh came from the Innocent Queen.

As for why the innocent queen stopped him from saving people, the reason is quite clear.

It's simply that Lin Mushi is the successor she chose, and she won't die in this battle at all, so why would he need to interfere and interrupt this trial?

Then Lu Xiu thought of a question.

Who is standing behind Gu Yuqiu?

Just then, Lin Mushi slowly opened her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the injuries covering her body transformed into indescribable pain, turning into low moans that flowed from the corners of her lips.

The sound of wind and rain did not bury it.

Lu Xiu heard it very clearly.

He walked up to Lin Mushi, squatted down, looked at the girl whose hair was wet with rain and clung to her cheeks, and said sincerely, "After today, you will be famous... famous throughout the world."

……

……

As the downpour subsided, the marks left on the windowsills, no longer roaring like a waterfall, transformed into a pleasing trickle.

What is the point of reputation, really?

Crimson withdrew her gaze from the rain and said mockingly, "Someone like Wuzui, if not for being burdened by his reputation, would he have so many troubles now?"

The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. She turned around and looked at the still dark room, illuminated only by the faint light of day, and the white-haired girl lying on the chair.

And there's that white cat perched on the back of the chair.

"I don't agree with the saying 'With great power comes great responsibility,' but I believe in another viewpoint."

Gu Yuqiu's voice was very soft, as ethereal as the rain outside the window: "The longer a person lives in this world, the more responsibilities they will have, until you can no longer make choices at will."

Crimson frowned slightly and said, "This doesn't sound like something you would say, because you've never been close to this world."

Gu Yuqiu said, "It is precisely because I understand this principle that I am unwilling to get close to this world, or rather, I refuse to establish relationships, and only want to be a pure traveler."

The "traveler" here naturally refers to the poem "Linjiang Xian," and also carries the meaning of the opening two lines of a certain parallel prose piece. (Note)

Shen Hong looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Then what about Lin Mushi?"

The more serious the tone of the statement, the stronger the sarcasm becomes.

Gu Yuqiu seemed oblivious, still uttering those two words.

"believer."

“Then I think you must be the most merciful god in the world to believers, willing to take such a huge risk and spare no expense to save people.”

What are you trying to say?

"...This is not the you I know."

Shen Hong pronounced the sentence with exceptional accuracy, word by word.

Gu Yuqiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you know who I hate the most?"

Upon hearing this, the white cat slowly opened its eyes, its eerie vertical pupils falling on the crimson figure with a chilling aura.

With a sincere expression, Crimson said, "I don't think it could be me."

"Of course not you, because you are not qualified."
