What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"Alright."

Gu Yuqiu said, "It's better to leave early, let's do it tomorrow."

Su Yan casually said, "I thought you were going to wait for Lin Mushi to wake up."

Gu Yuqiu didn't expect her to bring up this name directly. After a moment of silence, she said, "Lin Mushi... it will take some time for her to wake up. There's not much hope for her this winter. Maybe it will be late spring next year."

Hearing this, Su Yan was a little surprised, a little happy, and then very happy, feeling that it was the most touching sentence she had heard all day.

Her expression remained calm, her eyes revealing no emotion, as she casually said, "Is it that difficult?"

Gu Yuqiu didn't think too much about it and explained, "The main reason is that her talent is just average. Just because I gave her the position doesn't mean she will be recognized. Ultimately, it depends on herself."

"I see..."

Su Yan sighed and said sincerely, "I hope she can do it soon."

Gu Yuqiu then understood the implied meaning, paused slightly, and didn't know what to say.

Su Yan noticed the change in her expression and guessed that her thoughts had been seen through. Her body stiffened slightly, but she quickly calmed down.

"Oh, right."

She said casually, "We haven't had dinner yet, have we?"

This statement seems natural, but it is actually somewhat awkward, and the intention to change the subject is quite obvious.

Logically speaking, Gu Yuqiu would definitely say something to upset Su Yan, and only let her go when she was embarrassed and annoyed.

But just before she was about to speak, she remembered something.

She suddenly stopped and said, seemingly out of nowhere, "I finally understand."

"Understood?"

Su Yan looked at Gu Yuqiu with great confusion, wondering what she had figured out.

Could it be that these two battles in the past two days have allowed you to comprehend the authority held by the Lord of Sleep, and now you're ready to return to your peak?

This guess is too far-fetched and obviously makes no sense.

She shook her head, preparing to think in other directions.

The next moment, she heard something even more outrageous.

"The reason I didn't kill Shen Muchan is that I still owe her a meal."

Gu Yuqiu said earnestly.

P.S.: I accidentally missed a day. Actually, I don't need to worry about perfect attendance at all, but I said I would update more tomorrow, so I'll be diligent again. I'll write as soon as I get home after my second shot.

Note 1: I came across this sentence while surfing somewhere, and it really resonated with me, so I used it. I don't know the exact source.

Chapter 151: Chapter 149 What about Lin Mushi?

Are you out of your mind?

"Is there?"

"What is this if not an illness?!"

"Ok?"

"So you came here specifically to disgust me?"

"You're not worthy."

Shen Muchan stared at the person in front of her and said resentfully.

Gu Yuqiu kept her head down, focused on her work, looking relaxed and content.

All she seemed to see was the meat gradually cooking; everything else was insignificant, trivial matters.

Shen Muchan sat opposite, still wearing that black trench coat.

The trench coat didn't fit her figure, making her look even smaller, and her pale face and bloodless lips made her look even more pitiful.

Shen Muchan looked at Gu Yuqiu, who was intently grilling meat, and found the whole thing utterly absurd. She said angrily, "So what exactly are you doing?"

Gu Yuqiu ignored it.

Su Yan said on her behalf, "She wants to treat you to a meal."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muchan laughed instead, her eyes full of mockery, and said, "Are you going to tell me that you spared my life before just for this meal?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Shen Muchan would never believe such a thing, and sneered, "Then tell me, why did you invite me to this meal?"

In her view, this was just Gu Yuqiu suddenly having a relapse, feeling that life was meaningless and he couldn't find any fun, so he was just using her as a toy.

This must be the truth.

"Settle your wages."

Gu Yuqiu looked up at her, placed the grilled meat on her plate, and said, "Although your work performance is mediocre and often leaves me dissatisfied, that is not a reason for me to exploit you."

Shen Muchan looked down at the slice of beef on the plate in front of her, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "I'm sure you've gone mad now."

Su Yan remained quiet throughout.

She got up to fetch the best wine, poured herself a glass that was seven-tenths full, then filled Gu Yuqiu's glass to the brim before placing it in front of Shen Muchan.

"Drink?" she asked.

Shen Muchan glanced at her, and seeing that Gu Yuqiu remained silent, she consciously filled her wine glass.

Compared to Gu Yuqiu now, she is even less willing to offend Su Yan.

But the reason for this is not related to their relationship.

Shen Muchan was very clear about one thing: Gu Yuqiu wouldn't do anything before losing interest, but Su Yan would definitely take action.

"Let's eat meat."

Gu Yuqiu seemed oblivious to all this, picked up the freshly grilled meat, placed it on her plate, and handed it to the side.

Yes, there was another diner next to her.

It was a white cat.

Songtang glanced at her sideways, thinking to herself, "I eat raw meat and bones."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Trying different flavors isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Songtang thought that seemed to make sense.

Then, it suddenly realized something was wrong, and abruptly looked up at Gu Yuqiu, its eyes full of scrutiny.

"Are you using me to test them?"

As the cat that knows Gu Yuqiu best, it knows its comrade's temperament all too well. On the surface, he is extremely arrogant, but in reality, he is ruthless.

It thought about all this and hesitated for a while, but still ate the meat, thinking that it would be a real waste if it didn't eat it.

Seeing the white cat cautiously trying it out, Su Yan finally glanced at Gu Yuqiu, but said nothing.

"what happened?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her.

Su Yan asked, "What about mine?"

The tone of the sentence was very flat, without any inflection, like a snowflake falling gently.

No.

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Because I want to try your cooking."

Su Yan looked into her eyes and asked, "Didn't you say my cooking is terrible?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Although barbecuing is more troublesome than hot pot, you don't have to give up. Besides, I don't care whether you cook it well or not."

Before Su Yan could speak, she raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "It's like when you invited me to eat hot pot, even if it tasted awful, I still ate it, didn't I?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Songtang, who was still biting into her meat, subconsciously looked over. Even Shen Muchan, who was determined to play dead, couldn't help but look over as well.

Both humans and cats were aware of Gu Yuqiu's insistence on this matter, and they were stunned upon hearing this.

When Shen Muchan was cleaning up the dining table today, she could of course recognize the traces of a hot pot, but she didn't think about it at all. She assumed that it was left by Su Yan alone, and that the bowl of porridge, which looked plentiful from the leftovers, was Gu Yuqiu's usual food.

In a sense, Shen Muchan found it even more unbelievable than the fact that she hadn't been killed.

The person and the cat exchanged a glance, wondering if they had really heard correctly.

Then their gazes shifted, only to fall back on Su Yan, each wondering how she managed to do that.

Just then.

One sentence reached everyone's ears.

"Come on, you're kidding me."

Su Yan, unusually, lost control of her emotions. Her eyes were full of mockery as she said bluntly, "A piece of tripe, three pieces of lettuce, and four mushrooms... is this considered eating?"

Gu Yuqiu asked earnestly, "Isn't this also considered eating?"

Su Yan sneered and said, "There's a cat and a person here, which transcends species. Ask them what they think."

Before she could finish speaking, Songtang buried her head in the clean plate, as if she wanted to lick the remaining grease off the slices of meat.

Shen Muchan reacted even faster, finishing the drink in her glass without hesitation. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at the grill with a slightly tipsy gaze, as if she were already drunk.

"What's done is done."

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "It's impossible for it to not count just because you think it's not enough."

Su Yan's expression turned slightly cold as she asked, "So you mean you're going to compete with me?"

Hearing this, the white cat suddenly felt a headache coming on.

It never really liked Su Yan because some of her temperaments were too similar to Gu Yuqiu's. They would always argue over some inexplicable little things, and it was likely that they wouldn't just have small arguments. Neither of them was willing to back down, and it would escalate into a fight...

—Lin Mushi is still the best, both in terms of his breadth of vision and his personality!

Songtang looked up at the night sky outside the window, once again reminiscing about Lin Mushi, who was now on a divine throne.
