Chapter 2786: Chapter 17: Lici Throws Up! A World-Shaking Master Plan

...

”Hehe~ You really are a Goddess of Fortune, little girl.” Cangping God Emperor was also very excited.

He spent most of his life guarding Luojing’s Fixed Tone God Que and had never done anything so outrageous and thrilling.

Moreover, the coordination between Lici and Trashy Rat was extremely fitting—one could sense the location of ”food,” and the other could burrow through spatial crevices, even able to pierce the Isolation Array Method of a core warehouse, it was simply bizarre.

Aside from having extraordinary Talent, he really couldn’t think of any other fitting adjectives.

”But before dinner, let’s first get rid of this eyesore,” Wang Licui waved her hand and said, ”Trashy Rat, go!”

”Trash! Trash! Trash!”

Trashy Rat’s form expanded, instantly transforming into a gigantic beast, baring its fangs and claws as it rushed towards the young Demonic God.

It loved eating High-ranking demons, especially Demonic God Crystals, digesting them would further boost its strength rapidly.

The rapid growth of Trashy Rat in recent years and its ability to gradually activate the ancient Bloodline of its ancestor, the empty space mouse, was in part thanks to Wang Licui using battle merits to exchange for Demonic God Crystals and other treasures for it to consume.

Zhe Luo Demonic God was dumbfounded.

He had accepted the super elite inheritance from Ming Luo Demon Lord’s Demon Lord Crystal Core seed—among the Human race, he would be considered a Saint of the True Immortal Realm.

His future was exceedingly promising, how could he possibly accept dying here now? Especially dismembered and devoured alive by a Fierce Beast, such a brutal way to die.

No way!!

”Don’t eat me! I have uses, I have great uses!!” As Trashy Rat closed in, revealing its gaping maw and sharp teeth, he hurriedly shouted in somewhat broken human language, terrified his limbs might be gone in the next moment.

”Hold on.”

Wang Licui stopped Trashy Rat.

She put her hands on her hips, looking down at Zhe Luo Demonic God confidently: ”You’re just a trashy Demonic God, eating you wouldn’t make any difference. If you dare fool me, I’ll skin you, sprinkle spices on you, roast you slowly, and eat you piece by piece!”

Raised under the protection of Ming Luo Demon Lord, living a pampered life, Zhe Luo Demonic God didn’t have strong willpower. Frightened by Wang Licui’s brutality, he trembled all over and hastily offered his bargaining chip: ”I am Ming Luo Demon Lord’s direct disciple, the future Zhe Luo Demon Lord. Currently, Ming Luo Old Ancestor is not here, and I control the entire logistics base.”

”Each container here is guarded by a prohibition that triggers an alarm if forcibly opened. I believe you can break the prohibitions, but even if you do, it takes time and risks. Wouldn’t it be faster and safer to have my Ming Luo Demon Lord Command break them?”

This made Wang Licui give the spineless Demonic God a deep disdainful look.

Indeed, he’d do anything to save his skin, what about dying honorably and refusing to yield?

”Lici, this is actually a good idea,” Cangping God Emperor said. ”Without the corresponding Token to lift the prohibitions on these containers, it’s quite cumbersome to force them open, and you risk setting off alarms. Not to mention it’s a waste of time.”

”Why not let him handle it. I’ll personally keep an eye on this Demonic Clan brat. If he even thinks of touching anything, I can make his soul vanish instantly.”

Of course, only the containers in these core storerooms had complex systems of prohibitions; the nearby storehouses, with their enormous quantities of low-grade military rations, naturally didn’t bother with any prohibitions due to cost or time.

”Alright.” Wang Licui patted Zhe Luo Demonic God’s shoulder and flashed her harmless buck-tooth smile, ”If you cooperate, I’ll spare your life.”

”No, you must guarantee my life.” Zhe Luo Demonic God wouldn’t believe easily and immediately made a demand, ”You swear on your closest kin, if you kill me after I cooperate, let your closest kin be annihilated.”

Fighting Dongxia Divine Dynasty Human Clan for so many years, demons understood humans reasonably well—they knew humans valued their closest relatives. For them to swear on their kin meant they likely wouldn’t break their promise.

”Oh~ given the chance, yet you’re being fussy.” Wang Licui gave him a slight thump, didn’t directly refuse, but instead rotated her eyes and said, ”Alright~ I’ll swear in the name of my most beloved human Commander-in-chief Ji Taichang.”

With that, she solemnly swore a vicious oath in Ji Taichang’s name.

This serious manner left Cangping God Emperor bewildered.

Was this even possible? What grudge or enmity existed between Ji Taichang and Lici? Lici, your oath is too vicious!

High and mighty, Cangping God Emperor couldn’t quite understand the closeness developed between Wang Licui and the Barbarian Giant Division over many centuries of interaction. Naturally, she held little fondness for someone like Ji Taichang, who frequently had the Barbarian Giants do dangerous work and docked their soldier salaries often.

Seeing Wang Licui make the oath, although he did not fully grasp its content, Zhe Luo Demonic God could tell it was a nasty oath, which somewhat eased his heart.

Indeed, even now, Zhe Luo Demonic God believed only partially—two or three points at most. But what could he do? As a captive, his life was in the hands of others. He hardly had the leverage to negotiate. The vicious oath provided him with psychological comfort at least.
