What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Lin Mushi was silent for a moment, then said, "You said you were going to treat me to dinner."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Yes."

Lin Mushi thought she had misunderstood and asked again, "So you're going to cook for me?"

"No."

Gu Yuqiu shook her head slightly and said, "I paid for the groceries, and then you came to my house and cooked the meal. Is there anything hard to understand about that?"

Lin Mushi chuckled, her voice slightly cold as she said, "Then wouldn't I just become your tool?"

Gu Yuqiu only said one word about this.

"cat."

"Ok."

Lin Mushi immediately lost her temper, took the initiative to push a supermarket shopping cart over, and walked ahead as if she had given up on herself.

Gu Yuqiu looked at her, finding it somewhat interesting, and said, "Besides, weren't you curious about what I discovered today?"

Lin Mushi gave a nasal "hmm," sounding quite casual.

She had been fooled by Gu Yuqiu several times today, so she couldn't believe it anymore and thought it was just another joke.

Gu Yuqiu naturally wouldn't explain, since it was a minor matter anyway.

The two of them strolled around the supermarket, pushing their shopping cart. Lin Mushi, mindful that the woman beside her was a wealthy woman, casually picked out items as well.

She usually cooks at home. Although the salary at the Special Affairs Bureau is not low, she has developed a habit of saving money and rarely has a day like today.

"Are you buying this much?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at the items in the shopping cart, frowned slightly, and asked, "This should be enough to cook for a week, right?"

Lin Mushi looked at her with a half-smile and said in a subtle tone, "So you can feel heartache over this?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I'm not used to wasting money."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, realizing that this was indeed a problem.

"How about this?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "You bought the vegetables, so you should take responsibility for handling them properly."

Lin Mushi opened her eyes wide and looked at her, saying, "Do you want me to cook for you for a week?"

Gu Yuqiu turned her head and looked at her as if she were an idiot, saying expressionlessly, "I told you to take the rest of the food back with you, don't leave it at my house."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "So that's how it is?"

Feeling a little embarrassed, she awkwardly raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "Then I'll treat you to a meal another day."

"We'll see."

Gu Yuqiu's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

Just like she told her cat last night, she came to Xinchu this time because she was tired and wanted to stop and rest.

This is somewhat similar to traveling, so she never intended to restrain her temper, nor did she ever think of establishing a relationship with anyone beyond acquaintance.

However, reality always presents some unavoidable challenges. As her colleague and responsible for protecting her, it was inevitable that they would gradually become familiar with each other.

Of course, the most important reason is that Gu Yuqiu doesn't dislike her.

The reason is simple: Lin Mushi is considered good-looking.

—Although not as good as her.

Thinking about all this, Gu Yuqiu looked at Lin Mushi and carefully examined her.

Under the incandescent light, the girl's skin appeared even whiter and more delicate. Beneath her still-naive smile, which hinted at her future allure, lay a chest so small that her toes were easily invisible when she took a bath.

No matter how you look at it, Lin Mushi's poems are exceptionally moving.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Mushi's voice suddenly rang out.

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "It's up to you."

Lin Mushi was somewhat surprised and repeated, "Look at me?"

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "What's the point of repeating a year?" and then said, "Let's go home."

After saying that, she turned around expressionlessly and walked towards home.

Lin Mushi watched her retreating figure and suddenly found her inexplicably adorable, so she couldn't help but laugh. Then she picked up the groceries and chased after her.

Chapter 11: Plotting Outside the Noisy Kitchen

On the way back, the two didn't talk much.

To be precise, Gu Yuqiu was used to quiet, while Lin Mushi was always looking at her.

Appreciating beautiful things is human nature. She had only known Gu Yuqiu for less than 24 hours, so how could she have become so accustomed to it that she didn't take it seriously?

It wasn't until Gu Yuqiu stepped out of the elevator, turned the handle, and pushed the door open that she remembered what she needed to do.

There's something I need to make clear to you first.

"What's wrong."

Gu Yuqiu looked at her, thinking that something important had happened.

Lin Mushi looked at her with a stern expression and said, "I can cook, but I'm not going to wash the dishes for you!"

Gu Yuqiu suddenly didn't know what to say.

She really didn't want to answer such a boring question, so she turned around, poured herself a glass of warm water, and said, "Then I also have something to tell you."

As she spoke, Lin Mushi had already entered the kitchen and tied on her apron.

The indoor temperature was nicely set, and she had taken off her coat as soon as she entered, making her look much more relaxed and even giving off a summery vibe.

Gu Yuqiu said, "That follower of the Church of the Sleeping Souls was named Gao Shu. After he met me, he made a decision and was then defeated by me."

Lin Mushi was taken aback by what she was talking about. She paused for a moment before realizing what she was saying, then quickly put down what she was holding and asked seriously, "What decision?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "To preach."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi's gaze fell on her face, and she couldn't help but joke. She then said seriously, "You're so beautiful. If you were willing to debut as an idol, you would definitely gain a lot of fans. So, is the Church of Youmian planning to invite you to be their saintess?"

Gu Yuqiu was somewhat surprised and nodded, saying, "Probably."

Lin Mushi was stunned, because she could tell that he was serious.

A few seconds later, she finally came to her senses and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "That person wanted you to become a saintess. When he was preaching, he put you in a mental battle, and in the end, he lost and you were captured... Is that what happened?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

"and many more."

Lin Mushi suddenly thought of a question and asked seriously, "Why is that person qualified to make such a decision? Is he a chosen one?"

The reason why the upheaval 23 years ago was defined as a spiritual revival, rather than something else, is naturally well-founded.

The most important of these, directly related to the word "revival," is the idea that the gods worshipped by the Church of the Sleeping Demons once existed and are now returning.

However, these gods are still weak and unable to truly descend; their will must be transmitted through mortals.

These chosen people are usually referred to as the Chosen Ones.

"otherwise?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Do you think just anyone is qualified to preach?"

Lin Mushi had nothing to say. Secretive and extraordinary organizations like the Church of the Sleeping Souls are always cautious in vetting their followers in order to avoid being caught by the authorities, let alone someone in a position like a saintess.

"If Gao Shu is truly a chosen one, then his status in Xin Chu must be quite high, and he must know many secrets."

She thought for a moment and said, "Once these secrets are uncovered, the Church of the Sleeping Souls will definitely suffer great losses. Will they give up the fight for that person's relics in order to minimize their losses?"

Gu Yuqiu shook her head slightly and said, "No."

Lin Mushi asked, "What's the reason?"

After saying that, she immediately added, "Don't try to fool me, this might be my chance for a promotion and a raise."

"I don't think we'll be able to catch many people this time. It's not that I'm underestimating them, but the Church of the Sleeping Souls is too experienced in playing hide-and-seek."

Gu Yuqiu turned and walked towards the living room, finally saying, "Don't write this sentence in the report."

Lin Mushi sighed and gave a disappointed "hmm".

"Are you short of money?"

Gu Yuqiu turned her head and looked at her, asking.

Lin Mushi didn't expect her to ask this, and said seriously, "Although no one would complain about having too much money, the main reason is not really money."

Gu Yuqiu smiled gently and looked at her quietly.

Lin Mushi thought there was indeed a story behind this. Did you want to hear it? After hesitating for a while, she cleared her throat and was about to speak when she suddenly calmed down.

She asked with a sneer, "Are you just waiting to say something weird again?"

"Ok?"

Gu Yuqiu sighed softly and said, "I think you may have some misunderstandings about me."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Who would believe you?" She turned around and went into the kitchen to focus on preparing dinner for the night.

Seeing her expression, Gu Yuqiu knew she didn't want to talk about it, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Just then, a meow reached her ears.

Why do you smell like the Lord of Sleep?

Gu Yuqiu looked towards the living room and saw the white cat sitting on the back of the sofa, its fur slightly ruffled and its expression very serious.

She walked over there and said casually, "I just came across it."

The white cat had been sleeping lightly and hadn't paid much attention to what the two were saying, so it was inevitably a little shocked and quickly meowed to ask what was going on.

"What exactly do you want from the Church of Sleepless Nights? Aren't you even afraid of this kind of risk?"
