What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Crimson slowly stood up, looking down at Gu Yuqiu, and said expressionlessly, "Or do you really think I can't possibly resist you?"

Gu Yuqiu casually hummed in agreement.

Shen Hong said in a cold voice, "Then you can only be disappointed. Even Lin Mushi will not submit to you, let alone me."

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and asked, "Haven't I trampled on you enough in the past?"

Crimson stared into her eyes and said, word by word, "Yes, I have indeed been trampled underfoot by you many times, but that is because I lost to you, it does not mean that I have submitted to you!"

Gu Yuqiu said, "If you want to comfort yourself with this kind of explanation, then I can understand."

Before she even spoke, she had already guessed Crimson's reaction, and the reality was no different from what she had expected.

Why does she still say that?

This was certainly not because she had any unusual hobbies or strong desires in certain areas; it was a very simple decision.

And testing.

If Crimson hadn't pretended to be stupid and had lowered her head without hesitation, then she would have had to rethink certain things and completely change her perspective.

Fortunately, Crimson remained under her control and within the scope of her calculations.

As for the possibility that Shen Hong was just acting, she didn't think about it seriously and felt that it was roughly equivalent to Lin Mushi suddenly becoming smart, which had no practical significance.

"so what?"

Gu Yuqiu leaned back slightly, her bare feet swinging casually up and down, looking particularly alluring under the warm lighting, exuding a very special feeling.

Just like the languid feeling in her voice, faint and gentle.

"You did something wrong, but you were stupid enough to let me find out, and now you're trying to use your dignity as an excuse to refuse punishment?"

She looked at the deep red figure and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Isn't that a bit too optimistic?"

Crimson took a deep breath and said in a slightly deep voice, "Change it."

Gu Yuqiu's smile suddenly vanished.

Crimson was somewhat surprised, then noticed that the temperature in the entire living room had dropped sharply.

The chill originated from Gu Yuqiu's will.

This was a scent she knew all too well. But in an instant, the fear buried by time returned to her body, as clear as if it had reappeared yesterday.

Her face gradually paled, her body trembled slightly, and she cried out in disbelief, "You were faking it all?"

Where?

Gu Yuqiu shook her head and said, "I'm not the kind of person who likes to lie."

Crimson looked at her without saying a word, clearly taking her words as a mockery.

"Even if I leave the throne, the traces I left behind will still remain. Time has not truly worn away everything and erased everything, so I can still influence it."

This is the truth from Gu Yuqiu.

If she hadn't had to abandon everything she had gained and leave the throne because of her initial aspirations, why would she have created so much trouble?

"So what exactly are you willing to pay this price for?"

Crimson couldn't understand at all and said earnestly, "As long as you tell me the answer behind this, I'm willing to do anything for you, no matter what."

This statement is also true.

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Are you trying to bargain with me?"

Crimson remained calm and said, "That's another matter, unrelated to your so-called punishment. It's my curiosity about your willingness to go to any lengths for you."

Gu Yuqiu casually asked, "So, are you prepared to accept punishment?"

Crimson lowered her head with some difficulty, looking at the bare feet that seemed to radiate a faint light. After a long silence, she shook her head and said, "Change to another one."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Why don't you make the suggestion yourself?"

Crimson thought for a moment and said, "Until you are satisfied?"

Seeing that she had calmed down, Gu Yuqiu said with some regret, "Give me an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest. If I'm not satisfied, then you'll have to accept it."

She playfully drew out the last syllable of her sentence.

As Crimson listened, she recalled those two words from not long ago, one of which was probably among them.

—Go ahead and lick it.

After saying this, Gu Yuqiu got up from the recliner, returned to the dining table, and casually ate a dinner that was far less appealing than before—an expensive takeout meal.

Crimson remained by the window, gazing at her reflection, her heart still unable to find peace.

She's really annoyed right now.

How could she possibly guess what would satisfy Gu Yuqiu?

This is deliberately making things difficult for her!

What could she do?

She can't even beat a cat now!

What a shame.

So, is humiliation the only option?!

……

……

Why tomorrow morning?

"Ok?"

"I clearly remember you; you always get up very late and hate being disturbed while you sleep. Are you going to use this as an excuse to cause me trouble later?"

"Sorry, you overestimate yourself. I just have to get up early tomorrow."

"Get up early?"

Shen Hong returned to the dining table and spoke frankly with Gu Yuqiu for a few minutes, where she heard this unimaginable answer.

Gu Yuqiu picked up a slice of pork neck and said, "Yes."

Deep Red wondered what exactly it was.

She knew very well how lazy Gu Yuqiu had been these past few days, spending almost all his time lying down, the only difference being whether it was on the sofa or a chair, often playing mahjong, and occasionally playing games.

In short, it's all routine and unproductive.

She hesitated for a while, but after a long time she still didn't dare to speak, afraid of asking too many questions.

Gu Yuqiu naturally didn't care about her silence.

The two finished their meal quietly. Shen Hong skillfully cleared away the dishes; a dozen days was enough for her to become familiar with them. Gu Yuqiu, on the other hand, returned to her usual spot.

If it weren't for the excessive silence throughout the process, this scene would have been almost identical to when Lin Mushi was present.

The white cat jumped onto her shoulder and meowed softly, as if to say, "Are you going to see Lin Mushi tomorrow?"

Gu Yuqiu was quiet for a while, then hummed in agreement.

The white cat was quite surprised, not expecting that its guess was actually true. Thinking of Su Yan today, it couldn't help but get anxious and quickly meowed a few times to ask its question.

Why did you go to visit Lin Mushi?

"Since I've already promised Lu Xiu, I'll go. After all, today's events were ultimately caused by me."

"...You are indeed different from before."

"You seem to have something else in mind?"

After all, it's just a cat. Songtang isn't good at hiding its emotions, and more importantly, it's genuinely worried.

Gu Yuqiu understood.

She casually picked up the glass of beer she had just dropped, slowly drank it all, and said, "Are you thinking about Su Yan?"

The white cat nodded.

"If someone else asked me this kind of question, like Crimson, they definitely wouldn't get the truth from me."

Gu Yuqiu put down her wine glass, looked out at the exceptionally bright night sky, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused, and said softly, "I'm still thinking about it too."

The white cat thought to itself, "Are you still afraid of that slap?"

Gu Yuqiu knew what it was thinking and said, "I just don't want her to hate me."

The white cat was speechless, thinking that what she said was too much like a green tea, the kind that pretends to be gentle, and like a pure white lotus flower that doesn't fight with the world.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly said, "I apologized to her today."

The white cat was stunned, and meowed in shock, as if to say, "You actually apologize?"

It still found it unbelievable, and was so frightened that it jumped up and flew past Gu Yuqiu's shoulder, almost crashing into the glass window.

"Yes."

Gu Yuqiu sighed, "It's a pity she didn't accept it, and she got even angrier."

The white cat really didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "I really don't know why she's still so irrational, getting angry so easily when she's already in such a position, not too far from becoming a god. It's not like she has no hope in this life."

The white cat thought to itself, "Is this even human language?"

As long as Su Yan still cares about you and keeps you in her heart, then if you apologize to Lin Mushi while she's in her body, aren't you just asking for trouble?

Even cats understand this principle.

What are you doing?

After hesitating for a long time, it still meowed out these thoughts, indicating that Su Yan might have been 99% wrong about what happened today, but you definitely made a mistake too.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuqiu asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Go...and apologize again?"

The white cat pointed out the direction of courage.

Gu Yuqiu's gaze no longer wandered; it remained fixed on her reflection in the glass window, just as it had been in deep red before. She said earnestly, "I can't bear to part with my face."
