Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

After washing his clothes, Kotegawa returned to the tent and sat facing Ruri, the Corpse King, who was wrapped tightly in a blanket. They stared at each other with wide eyes.

The Corpse King Liuli raised her chin, her eyes revealing her defiance.

She and Kotegawa were evenly matched, each having their own way of dealing with the other. However, since the old scores had been settled, their current relationship, while not exactly friendly, wasn't exactly hostile either; enemies wouldn't sit this close.

Kotegawa pondered for a moment and asked, "You can eat Yin Qi Pills, and you can also eat beef, green peppers, and potatoes... What exactly are you?"

He initially thought the girl was a zombie king, but it seemed to be completely different. However, she was definitely not human either, because she could eat Yin Qi Pills, which are poisonous to humans.

"I am a celestial maiden!" The Corpse King Liuli puffed out her chest proudly, "My mother is a goddess, so I must be a goddess too!"

“But I heard that you weren’t born after the Ghost Queen became a god.” Kotekawa said, glancing at her. Sure enough, the girl wasn’t very tall, but her chest was quite heavy.

The Corpse King Liuli tilted her head and said with dissatisfaction, "You're not a god, how would you know the power of a god?"

"Is God omnipotent?" Kotegawa immediately countered.

“This… although it’s not omnipotent… my mother is very strong! She is omnipotent!” Corpse King Liuli retorted.

Kotegawa didn't laugh at her, but instead began to think seriously.

This is the divine realm of the Queen of the Demon Path, filled with her statues and shrines; naturally, some things cannot be said carelessly.

He thought for a moment and said, "So you mean you're neither human, ghost, nor demon, but a god?"

The Corpse King Liuli said smugly, "When I grow up, I will be a god!"

"Oh? How old are you now?"

Corpse King Liuli was stunned. She looked down at her fingers and muttered, "My mother said that according to human time, it's about three thousand... Ugh! How could you ask about a lady's age so casually!" She suddenly realized what she meant and jumped up and down in anger.

The tent shook, and she instantly froze.

Although it's not very sturdy, it's at least a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Kotegawa quickly secured the surroundings, his face darkening as he looked at her: "If you keep causing this trouble, I'll have to ask you to leave!"

Corpse King Liuli remained silent, sat up straight, and then complained, "But you were in the wrong first, so don't blame me!"

Kotegawa scrutinized her. She was over three thousand years old... why did she still seem a little dim-witted?

The Corpse King Liuli muttered to herself, "I am a celestial maiden! Does human time have any meaning for me? Honestly!"

Kotegawa was taken aback, then nodded slightly. What he said made sense. The power of the gods was beyond comprehension, and the daughter of a god could not be judged by ordinary standards.

He stopped dwelling on it, thought for a moment, took out a few bags of cooked meat and water, gave her half, and asked as he tore open the bag, "What's your name?"

The Corpse King Liuli, who was looking down at the food, looked up in surprise: "My name? You really want to know? Even that Evil Road King doesn't dare to call me by my name!"

Kotekawa took a bite of meat and said as he chewed, "He's your mother's subordinate, not mine."

“That makes sense…” She cleared her throat, wrapped herself in the blanket, stood up, and declared proudly, “My name is Liuli! I don’t have a surname!”

He nodded and asked, "You should know my name, right?"

Corpse King Liuli said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I don't want to know!"

He said "oh" and continued eating.

The Corpse King Liuli, who was still standing, waited for a while before finally saying, "Even if I don't want to know, you can still tell me!"

Kotegawa shook his head: "I don't really want to talk about it."

"Pah! Stingy!" She was furious.

Ignoring her, after finishing the meat and water, Kotegawa listened to the increasingly loud rain outside, pondered for a moment, and then released his inner energy to create an ice cover on the outside of the tent.

The Corpse King Liuli sat cross-legged in the corner, drooling over the food she had been given.

Kotegawa looked at her with some surprise.

The latter smacked his lips and said nonchalantly, "I'm not hungry now, I'll save it for tomorrow."

Kotegawa then asked her, "Why are you called the Corpse King?"

"Of course it's because he's so handsome!" Corpse King Liuli said without hesitation, "Evil Road King told me that there is a Corpse King in a foreign land who is incredibly strong, invulnerable to swords and spears, and is also a celestial maiden! So I also want to be called Corpse King!"

Kotegawa said "Oh," indicating that he understood the situation.

"Alright! You've asked me two questions already! Now it's my turn to ask you!" Corpse King Liuli said impatiently, "What are you doing in the Underworld?"

There was really no point in hiding this, since it wasn't San Guizi's territory anyway. He replied, "Find someone."

"Looking for someone?" The Corpse King Liuli was quite surprised, then looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Besides you, where else in the Underground Kingdom is there another human?"

Kotegawa shook his head, about to say that he wasn't looking for humans, and that saying he was looking for people was just a euphemism, but then he paused, surprised, and asked, "There are no humans in this place?"

The environment here is clearly modeled after the human world.

"Of course not!" Corpse King Liuli said matter-of-factly, "Who would dare to enter the Underground Kingdom without my mother's permission? This is my mother's divine kingdom! Not to mention the Underground Kingdom, there are no humans in the Surface Kingdom or the Ghost Kingdom either... I didn't know before, but now there's only you!"

Kotegawa thought for a moment and nodded.

Although he wasn't quite sure what she meant by the divine kingdom she kept talking about, he had already entered it anyway, and even though he had argued and fought with this guy along the way, he had managed to survive until now without any problems, so he didn't care anymore.

"What? I thought you were looking for some treasure!" Corpse King Liuli muttered to herself, feeling like she'd been disappointed.

Kotegawa hummed in agreement: "So don't follow me anymore tomorrow, go back and be your princess."

The Corpse King Liuli paused for a few seconds, then turned her head away: "Mind your own business!"

She's still a scoundrel.

Furutegawa took a long, calm breath.

"Hey, you..." The Corpse King Liuli's voice rang out again: "What's your name, you human?"

Kotegawa, who had just closed his eyes, said indifferently, "Didn't you say you didn't want to know?"

"You bastard!" The Corpse King Liuli's temper was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment. Fortunately, the fuse was long enough that it was extinguished as soon as it started to burn. After holding it in for a long time, she shouted, "I want to know now! Is that enough?"

Kotegawa opened his eyes, looked at her and said, "My original name was Shen Jian, now I am called Kotegawa Shen Jian, my Taoist name is Yueqing, and I am also called Shen Yueqing."

“Shen Jian? Gu what Chuan? Yue, Yue, Yueyue…” Corpse King Liuli was confused and very annoyed: “Why do you have so many names?”

Kotegawa chuckled softly but did not reply.

The Corpse King Liuli stretched out her fair and delicate arm from under the blanket, pointed at him, and said in an unquestionable tone, "I'll let you see her later!"

"Oh no! No reduplicated sounds!" Kotegawa was exasperated.

---Aside---

Is this chapter filler? I don't think so, it's just a little short, which is why it feels... Um, could you please vote for me?

Chapter 187 Birdsong (Part 3)

In the morning, strands of sunlight filtered into the tent. Kotegawa, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and turned his head to look to the side.

Over there, the Corpse King Liuli was still curled up, her little mouth slightly pouting, sleeping sweetly.

He looked away, stretched his neck slightly, and got up to crawl out of the tent.

The rain has stopped, and a rainbow still hangs in the sky.

He stared blankly for a while, then transformed into mist and drifted into the distance, finally reappearing in a very secluded corner. He took out a shovel and a roll of toilet paper, dug a hole in the ground, dispersed the nightmare, unzipped his pants, squatted down, and began to contemplate life.

After contemplating life, he buried the grave, threw the toilet paper and shovel back into the realm of impermanence, and then took out soap and a basin to wash up by the nearby river.

Undisguised footsteps sounded from the side. He looked up while he was washing up and saw the Corpse King Liuli, who was already dressed and yawning as she walked towards him.

He stopped, frowned, and asked, "Did you come looking for me?"

The Corpse King Liuli squatted down by the river, mimicking his actions. She scooped up cool water with both hands and splashed it on her face, instantly dispelling her lingering sleepiness. She complained, "I thought you had abandoned me again."

Kotegawa looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "How exactly did you find me?"

Without hesitation, Corpse King Liuli replied, "I suddenly smelled a foul odor just now—"

"Alright, that's enough." Kotegawa raised his hand to interrupt her, washed his face, stood up, and turned into mist.

But then he felt a sudden weight on him as the Corpse King Liuli clung to his legs and wouldn't let go.

Early in the morning, Kotegawa, not wanting to get angry, reminded him, "You bastard, don't you realize how frivolous you are now?"

"Since you've already taken liberties with me, a few more times won't make a difference!" Corpse King Liuli yawned and said, "You have to take responsibility."

"Take responsibility my ass!" Kotekawa couldn't hold back his temper. He shook his leg, but the Corpse King Ruri was stuck to it like glue, and he couldn't shake it off no matter what he did.

His temper flared, and he threatened, "If you don't come down now, you won't have any food to eat!"

The Corpse King, Liuli, had droopy eyelids, seemingly having gotten up too early and wanting to go back to sleep.

She murmured, "It's okay, I just ate, I'm not hungry now."

Kotegawa paused, then remembered that the girl hadn't eaten the food he'd given her last night...

He took a deep breath and could only fly back with the little tail.

Once they arrived at their destination, Corpse King Liuli released her grip and crawled back into the tent.

"Come out! I'm putting it away!" he said with a dark face.

"Don't be so stingy, let me sleep a little longer." Corpse King Liuli muttered unhappily, "I'll give you an even better one later."

Kotegawa stared at her expressionlessly. In an instant, the surrounding environment changed. The twilight deepened, corpses littered the ground, and blood-soaked sand filled the sky—a scene of utter devastation, like a living hell.

But inside the tent, the Corpse King Liuli was still fast asleep.

The constraints and repression of the realm of impermanence were completely useless to her.

Kotegawa was suddenly somewhat convinced.

This girl seems to be his natural enemy!

He waved his hand, dispersing the area, but the tent and the brat remained inside.

He took out the meat and water, ate and drank his fill, and then set off alone to continue wandering around, hoping to bump into someone.

The morning flew by, and when the sun was high in the sky and the sunlight was so strong that he couldn't open his eyes, he found a shady spot, waved his hand, and the tent that he had previously put away reappeared, along with the Corpse King Liuli, who was sitting cross-legged inside, eating ham with gusto.

His eyes widened.

He hasn't even been willing to eat this high-grade ham yet!
