What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"This is the benefit that sea wanted to give me three days ago."

Shen Muchan put down her wine glass, looked out at the night sky, and said with a slight smile, "But I haven't accepted yet, for now."

Su Yan did not respond.

There's a crucial point in this sentence: three days ago was the day she and Gu Yuqiu visited the monk Jiehai, and Shenhong received this suggestion on that very day.

The underlying logic seemed clear; it appeared that the sea had taken precautions in advance, yet something still felt off to her.

"This is the real reason I came to see you."

Shen Muchan was quiet for a moment before saying, "Or rather, I'm here to see her."

Su Yan said, "I can ask her for you."

Shen Muchan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked away from Su Yan, and said mockingly, "You even have to ask about something like this? Don't you think that's absurd?"

"Outrageous?"

Su Yan raised her glass to her lips and drank it all in one gulp. She slowly straightened her back and looked down at him, saying, "She's mine now, so of course I have the right to make decisions for her."

Shen Muchan said mockingly, "I hope you can say such things to her face. By then, Lin Mushi will probably be laughing in her sleep."

Su Yan said expressionlessly, "That's not what we're talking about tonight."

Shen Muchan's smile grew increasingly mocking, and her tone became more and more merciless.

"So what are you trying to say? You can't give me what I want, and you say you still need to consider the person I want to see. Who exactly doesn't want to have a proper talk?"

Su Yan said calmly, "Let's put aside those unrealistic things and talk until we reach an agreement."

"Anyway, there's still plenty of time..."

Shen Muchan laughed and said, "The night is still very long?"

Su Yan lowered her eyes slightly, and after a moment looked at her and said, "We can talk about the peak of the fifth rank."

Shen Muchan was very satisfied with this statement and nodded, saying, "Then let's continue our conversation."

……

……

Under the same night sky, but under different eaves.

Gu Yuqiu sat by the window with her eyes closed, looking as if she were asleep, her expression completely relaxed.

Songtang lay on her lap, enjoying the unconscious caresses, her low snoring continuing.

That extremely precious ancient scroll of slumber was casually placed aside.

The warm-toned lighting quietly illuminates the people and cats, bringing a sense of warmth to the eyes and allowing one to relax.

Suddenly, as if someone had grabbed the back of its neck, Songtang burst into a rage, leaping up and crashing violently into the ceiling, falling down amidst dust.

Gu Yuqiu woke up, looked at the dust that was about to fall, frowned slightly, and waved her hand.

For some reason, the dust suddenly vanished without a trace, as if we had entered another world.

She was still sleepy, and being woken up made her even more upset. Looking at the dust-covered Songtang, she gave it a disgusted look and gestured for it not to come near her.

Forget about lamenting the flimsy nature of their relationship, Songtang immediately started meowing, indicating that she had made a great discovery.

The meowing continued incessantly.

It's really just telling one thing—it smelled Shen Muchan's scent, and she must be in Tokyo right now!

Gu Yuqiu listened quietly, gazing at the incomplete Ancient Scroll of Sleeping Beauty. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "Do you want to see Lin Mushi?"

Songtang was slightly taken aback, wondering how the topic had turned to Lin Mushi.

And you're changing your mind?

Thinking this, its gaze fell on Gu Yuqiu's chest, and then it thought of Su Yan, who never let it sleep...

Do we even need to think about that?

Songtang meowed honestly and nodded repeatedly, its eyes shining brightly!

After her initial excitement, Songtang suddenly calmed down, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind? This isn't like you. Besides, you're still so weak right now. There's no need for you to think so much about me."

It meowed cautiously twice, sounding very apprehensive.

Gu Yuqiu looked into its deep blue eyes, seeing the many questions within them, and shook her head, saying, "It's not because of you."

Songtang was used to this directness, so she didn't feel sad at all because she guessed wrong. She simply meowed and continued to ask why.

"This is just a hypothesis, not my decision. There are many more variables in Lin Mushi's awakening than in her remaining unconsciousness. From the perspective of the stability of the plan, it is wrong of me to do this."

Gu Yuqiu looked out the window at the night sky and said, "Even if the sea is watching me, I wouldn't make such a choice as to wake Lin Mushi up."

Songtang knows this is the truth.

Others may not understand, but it vaguely understands something.

Back then, why did it and Gu Yuqiu go through so much bloodshed? It's very likely that the sea was stirring up trouble and secretly pushing things along the way.

As for the reason, it's simply that the sea doesn't want a new god to be born and pose a threat to it.

However, the sea did not get what it wanted.

However, after ascending to the throne, Gu Yuqiu did not stay for long. In that extremely short time, she was more concerned with how to leave and did not pay any attention to these trivial matters.

Thinking about these things, it looked at Gu Yuqiu curiously, waiting for what would happen next.

"No matter how I think about it, Lin Mushi is always asleep, which is the best thing for me."

Gu Yuqiu was silent for a while, then said, "But without her awake, it seems too boring."

The white cat was slightly taken aback, wondering what kind of ridiculous reason this was.

"Therefore I am still hesitant and have not made a decision, but someone is urging me to do so."

Gu Yuqiu withdrew her gaze, slowly stood up, and looked at the dimly lit living room.

This is the residence arranged by Su Yan.

This place is no less luxurious than the one she lived in in Xinchu, striving for perfection in every detail, or even better.

However, she was not very comfortable living there.

This is, of course, Su Yan's problem.

The white cat glanced at her sideways, still finding the whole thing inexplicable, and meowed.

"Didn't you hear me report that Su Yan went to see Shen Muchan alone, and you were unhappy about it, so you decided to bring Lin Mushi back?"

Its blue eyes were full of mockery.

"That's one of the reasons."

Gu Yuqiu remained calm, showing no embarrassment at being exposed, and said indifferently, "The most important issue is that I cannot let Su Yan do whatever she wants."

A few days ago, considering the relationship between the two of them, she seriously suggested that Crimson do those dirty things, but was rejected.

She wasn't angry about the rejection... well, it was still a little unpleasant.

But this unpleasantness was only minor and insignificant. What she couldn't accept was that Su Yan rejected her suggestion but then turned around and did it.

This is clearly a sign of distrust towards her.

Even though Gu Yuqiu understood why Su Yan acted this way, and even thought she had done a good job, she still couldn't accept it.

"Shen Muchan is too weak and values ​​interests more. She has a grudge against me and can never become the person I want."

She looked at Songtang and said slowly, "Lin Mushi is the best choice."

Songtang couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, thinking to herself that it would be strange if the two of them didn't argue, since they couldn't talk things out properly and had to resort to scheming against each other!

Gu Yuqiu shook her head slightly and said seriously, "This is also the greatest joy between her and me."

Even if they love each other, they still compete with each other; only in this way can they avoid getting bored.

Just like how she used to always make Su Yan angry, insisting on arguing and then fighting, it's the same principle.

Songtang sighed, not wanting to say any more.

Why has his relationship with Su Yan always been bad?

The biggest reason is that it has witnessed all of the other party's failures during this period of time, isn't it?

Someone as proud as Su Yan would definitely mind this and wouldn't want this dark history to be known. And it was the only bystander who saw it all.

From a certain perspective, Gu Yuqiu should take responsibility for this.

"I need to think about it some more."

Gu Yuqiu closed her eyes and said softly, "If Lin Mushi wakes up, how will she treat me? Which side will she stand on? At worst, will she be able to remain neutral?"

The white cat finally couldn't take it anymore, stood up in her arms, stepped on her collarbone and was about to take advantage of her, letting out a low meow, thinking to itself, "You're just being dramatic!"

……

……

"That's so pretentious."

After listening to Su Yan's account, Shen Muchan learned the whole story about the monk who robbed the sea, and then sincerely sighed with this sentence.

She found it hard to accept and asked, "To avoid getting your hands dirty, you're willing to pay such a huge price just to kidnap a sea monk, forcing me to do it. Isn't that hard to accept?"

Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's alright."

Shen Muchan stared into her eyes and said, "How is this alright?"

Why is it not good?

Su Yan calmly said, "What Yu Qiu said makes sense. It's the result of careful consideration. Besides, what you want isn't as important as you think."

Shen Muchan laughed, her tone particularly mocking: "Then why did you keep it from her, and why did you expect me to keep it from her too, to meet this time in secret?"

Su Yan fell silent.
