Ling Ping'an closed the door and pulled down the shutter door again.
Then he raised his head and looked at the time.
"It\'s almost 11: 30!" He said.
Thus, he took the cup of water with the grasshopper and walked upstairs.
He turned off the light.
Creak! Creak!
The wooden stairs still made a horrifying sound.
The grasshopper in the cup heard this sound and shivered as it curled up into a ball.
At this moment, Duke Ivy finally recovered a little strength.
But this did not make his situation better. Instead, it made him fall into an even deeper terror.
His compound eyes saw it clearly.
In this terrifying bookstore, countless evil eyes stared at him one by one.
They whispered to each other, and the terrifying and ominous sound echoed in Duke Ivy\'s ears.
Listening to these sounds, these terrifying and taboo ominous sounds.
Then he looked at the evil eyes that were full of hunger and malice.
Duke Ivy of Hell was so scared that he almost lost his ability to think.
… …
After changing into slippers, Ling Ping'an put the cup on the table.
Then, he looked at the kitten that had been staring at the grasshopper in the cup.
Ling Ping'an patted the little cutie\'s head. "Little darling... I\'m going to take a shower first!"
"I\'ll roast the grasshopper for you after I take a shower!"
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, meowed in agreement.
Thus, Ling Ping'an put down his phone, found a change of clothes, walked into the bathroom, and turned on the bathtub and the water heater.
The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom.
… …
Duke Ivy felt as if he was thrown into space by some terrifying force and then quickly fell to the ground.
His body rolled in the small plastic cup.
At this time, the disadvantage of having too many eyes appeared.
Because, he found that no matter how he tossed and turned.
From the beginning to the end, there was still a pair of amber cat eyes staring at him!
Tears flowed down from the corner of the black kitten\'s mouth.
Meow!
He meowed softly.
The pyramid was reflected behind him.
Countless prayers and prayers entered his ears.
At this moment, Duke Ivy knew that the cat goddess\'s power and authority had mostly returned.
He had successfully anchored himself in the real world.
He could now use his authority and power at will.
The Cat Goddess' Authority was [Guardian]!
He was the guardian of the pyramid and the guardian of his family.
With the rendering of his divine power, the reflected pyramid became more and more solid.
The situation of countless Egyptian families and pyramids flowed in the reflection.
The cat goddess stared at him.
It was a hunter staring at his prey!
It was also the customers who were looking at the ingredients!
He could not wait any longer!
Duke Ivy shivered. He curled up his body, separated by the seemingly thin but actually indestructible plastic cup.
"Please..." He begged.
"Please …"
"As long as you let me go … I'm willing to live forever …"
But the cat goddess shook her head.
Evie was about to continue to plead, making a final effort to survive.
Suddenly, he felt a tremor and fear that came from the depths of his soul.
It was as if he was being targeted by a natural enemy. His soul was suddenly pulled up.
The Duke of Devils' compound eyes saw a little blue flame falling on the coffee table.
The flames flickered, emitting a terrifying aura.
This was the aura of a superior being.
It was also the aura of a higher being and a race as food!
Gods were also listed in the recipe for lighting up the flames!
However, this was only the beginning.
Evie curled up in the plastic cup. The inner wall of the plastic cup that had once terrified him had now become his only safe place to rely on.
But …
This fragile sense of security was quickly broken.
Because, the compound eyes in his abdomen saw a little emerald green shadow quietly appearing.
The ferocious mouthparts in the shadow roared, sending a message together: I want to eat!
Evie clearly sensed that if he fell into his hands.
There would definitely be no dregs left!
At this moment, the devil who had once fed on the fear and despair of humans.
Finally experienced fear and despair.
And it was three times the fear and despair!
The three monsters all wanted to eat him.
And he... the once terrifying Devil Duke of Hell was already a fish on the chopping block.
This fact made Duke Evie collapse!
Meow!
The little black cat meowed softly and stretched out its claws.
His claws pointed at Evie.
Then, he drew in the air and pointed the drawn part at himself.
It was about four-fifths of it.
The little flame flickered, and the blue light was reflected on the ground.
It was divided into three pieces.
He gave the largest piece to the kitten, which was about half of it.
Then, he gave two-thirds of the remaining half to himself!
Meow!
The little black cat firmly opposed!
His claws drew a circle and then waved gently.
He wanted at least two-thirds!
Then, he pushed the remaining part towards the little flame and the green shadow.
The meaning was obvious. I don\'t care how you divide it, but I must eat so much!
That was the most basic!
Moreover, that was the final condition!
The little flame looked at it and was slightly stunned. The flame swayed as if it had agreed.
Then, his flame rose.
It snatched away at least 80% of the one-third of the aperture!
He was only willing to give the green shadow a little bit of the leftovers!
The reason was very sufficient!
In the flickering flame, the great will transmitted a message that could not be ignored.
You... have... no... use... and... eat... is... not... wrong!
Wah!
A clear cry cut through the silence of the living room.
In the green shadow, the appearance of a little girl slowly appeared.
She was like a pear blossom, and tears flowed down her face.
Her small face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom, was delicate and pitiful.
As she cried, she raised her two small arms that seemed to be made of tender leaves.
A faint spiritual light flowed in her emerald green arms.
It seemed to be saying: I want to grow up, I\'m hungry..
Evie looked at all of this in a daze.
He watched as he was treated as goods, as fish, and at the mercy of others.
This scene was so familiar.
So much so that he used to do such things every day.
One by one, the pitiful human souls were divided and devoured by him at will.
Their pleas and wails were his favorite sounds.
Now..
Was it his turn to be divided and devoured?
Under Evie\'s gaze, the division agreement was quickly reached.
The little girl had used her loud cries to fight for more rights.
Her share had increased to about 20%.
The little flame and the little black cat each gave up about 5% of their shares.
Although they were still not satisfied, at least they could eat half full.
Thus, the small living room returned to silence!
… …
Ling Ping\ 'an finished his shower and wiped his wet hair.
Then, he walked out.
He looked at Bastet, who had been squatting in front of the table and staring at the grasshopper on the table.
"Little foodie!" Ling Ping\ 'an laughed.
He walked to the refrigerator and took out a mushroom.
Although it had been refrigerated for two days, the mushroom was still fresh.
Moreover, perhaps because it had been refrigerated for two days, its fragrance was even stronger!
Ling Ping\ 'an picked up the mushroom, then picked up the cup and called out to Bastet, "Little Darling, let\'s have supper!"
Meow!
The kitten immediately let out a happy cry.
It immediately caught up to its master.
Walking up to the third floor, Ling Ping\ 'an pushed open the door, and the moonlight outside immediately shone in.
Tonight's moonlight was too beautiful to behold!
Ling Ping\ 'an casually turned on a light and then moved the simple grill out.
Then, he took a lighter and lit the charcoal fire.
The flame slowly appeared and then burned.
He placed the grill at the foot of the wall and walked out the door.
"Eh!" He suddenly squatted down in surprise and looked at the small sapling in the plastic basin. "Little Darling, you\'ve grown a lot taller!"
The small sapling in the plastic basin had grown from the initial bud to a small sapling that was more than an inch tall.
There were a few more tender leaves. Under the moonlight, the small peach tree swayed gently.
Ling Ping\ 'an reached out and touched its soft trunk.
The emerald green and soft sapling swayed gently under his touch.
The breeze blew and two tender leaves gently rubbed Ling Ping\ 'an\'s fingers.
"Looks like I can fertilize it again another day!" Ling Ping\ 'an said.
Meow!
The kitten meowed as if it agreed.
"Little Darling!" Ling Ping\ 'an turned to look at the kitten and then at the grasshopper in the plastic cup. "Brother will roast the grasshopper for you first!"
As a man, he always kept his word.
Moreover, Bastet\'s performance today was worth encouraging!
It could even comfort others, which meant that it was a kitten with a caring heart!
It should be rewarded!
Meow!
The kitten meowed excitedly and couldn\'t wait to lie down beside the stove.
Ling Ping\ 'an blew at the stove to make the fire burn brighter!
Then, he took the cup, poured out the grasshopper in the cup, and pinched it with two fingers.
He put the grasshopper in front of his eyes and looked at it.
"So fat!" He exclaimed.
In his eyes, the grasshopper was full of meat.
It would definitely smell good when roasted!
If he hadn\'t promised it to Bastet, he really wanted to eat it himself!
… …
"Commander-in-chief..." Situ He walked to Li Shouyi, who was looking at the surveillance screen, and reported in a low voice, "We\'ve brought him back..."
"This is the confession of the receiving team..."
Li Shouyi picked it up and flipped through it.
These documents recorded everyone's statements of what they had seen and heard.
In the form of words, the attitude and tone of the owner of the bookstore were described from different angles.
Li Shouyi looked at it slowly, word by word, comparing it repeatedly.
"It seems..." he suddenly said, "It\'s the same as the situation discussed by the think tanks..."
"This owner of the bookstore is completely using a way similar to the emperor\'s mind to deal with us!"
He pointed to a description on the document and said to Situ He, "Situ, look, he said: They are all pitiful people..."
"How could he not know that these people are the leaders of the evil cult?"
"He knows!"
That was for sure!
"Situ, look again. He continued to say: Doesn\'t the Federal Empire have special support policies and systems? I thought of you... "
"What do you mean?" Li Shouyi asked.
Situ He shook his head in a daze and said, "Commander-in-chief, please tell me!"
"It\'s very simple!" Li Shouyi said, "The previous emperors also liked to say that!"
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as if he had remembered something from the past. "The former emperor was also like this..."
He deliberated for a moment and couldn\'t help but say, "Tsundere!"
Situ He almost laughed when he heard this.
"Don\'t laugh!" Li Shouyi said seriously, "This is a very clever trick!"
"The emperors always have some things that are inconvenient for them to do themselves, and even more inconvenient for them to do directly..."
"So, they have to deliberately pretend to be confused..."
"They have to deliberately separate themselves from something!"
Li Shouyi looked at Situ He and asked, "Situ, you\'ve heard of the tradition of crane sound in the Fusang royal family, right?"
Situ He nodded. He naturally knew.
The kings of Fusang often said strange things without rhyme or reason.
They would let others guess and speculate before carrying it out.
"The logic is almost the same!" Li Shouyi said, "However, the owner of the bookstore is not an emperor after all..."
"He doesn\'t need to hide it like the emperors..."
"So, he simply made it clear!"
"His meaning is actually very simple!"
"You\'ve done well recently..." Li Shouyi pursed his lips. "So, I\'ll give these people to you as a gift!"
"But... how can I let you guess what I mean?"
"So..." Li Shouyi asked, "If this isn\'t tsundere, what is it?"
"Even ordinary people know that those people are all monsters, all strong..."
"But he wants to tell us that these are pitiful people..."
"And he wants us to take them in..."
"In this way, he avoids the possibility of casually rewarding us, and on the other hand, he also saves our face..."
"But in fact, this is a reward!"
"It\'s obvious!" Li Shouyi looked at the other contents of the report and said firmly, "Look, he used some unbelievable method to capture Duke Ivy of Hell in front of others. This is the best proof!"
"This is also the best performance of tsundere!"
"He\'s afraid that we can\'t understand his intentions!"
At this point, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of Li Shouyi\'s mouth.
Tsundere?
The last thing the Federal Empire was afraid of was tsundere.
Because the Empire had rich experience!
A long 2,000 years of feudal history!
A hundred years before the founding of the Federal Empire, three kings with different personalities but equally tsundere could provide a large amount of first-hand information and data.
At this moment, the figure of the owner of the bookstore appeared on the screen.
The drone that had been hovering in the sky clearly captured the figure of him walking out of the room with his pet and arriving on the roof.
In a small stove, a fire was burning.
Beside it, the distorted and deformed figure of the Duke of Hell in the cup was struggling.
"We will witness the complete fall of a Duke of Hell!" Li Shouyi said seriously. He thought for a moment and added, "In the hands of a tsundere mysterious unknown existence!"
"This is also another evidence of his tsundere!"
"He knows that we know that he has captured a Duke of Hell!"
"Even when you know our drones are watching!"
"He has come out and wants us to see how he will take care of and destroy a Duke of Hell!"
Li Shouyi gently leaned against the back of the chair.
Ever since the owner of the bookstore appeared, his long-tensed nerves could finally be relaxed.
Because...
Dealing with tsundere, dealing with tsundere, the experience of the Federal Empire was unparalleled in the world!
"After returning to the imperial capital, I have to look through the notes of the ministers of the early period!"
The founding ancestor of the Federal Empire abolished the eunuch system.
He introduced the system of female officials and palace ministers.
By the time of Taizong, the eunuchs left behind by the previous dynasty were old and dead. The profession of eunuchs had disappeared in the long river of history.
And the ministers of the palace had become the new favorite.
These people were all civil officials. In terms of cunning, they were even more cunning than the officials of the previous dynasty!
Thinking of this, Li Shouyi focused his attention on the screen.
Because on the screen, the owner of the bookstore had already begun to take care of the Duke of Hell.
… …
Ling Ping'an watched as the fire slowly rose.
He pinched the grasshopper in his hand. Its plump body looked a little tempting.
He licked his lips and threw the grasshopper onto the grill.
The flames immediately rose.
The grasshopper jumped on the grill.
But soon, it was engulfed by the flames and stopped struggling!
Ling Ping'an sighed and said to it, "I'm sorry, I forgot to give you a humanitarian death..."
"But..."
"I remember that insects have very few nerves..."
"And the pain is not too high..."
"So..." he shrugged his shoulders.
… …
Li Shouyi and Situ He looked at the scene on the screen.
The owner of the bookstore easily pinched the Duke of Hell from the cup.
It was as if he was pinching an ant.
In his hands, the Duke of Hell, who was once an invincible and terrifying devil, was like an ant. He didn't even have room to struggle.
He gently threw the Duke onto the grill in front of him.
The flames rose.
The high-definition camera of the drone accurately captured this scene!
That flame was a pure blue color!
They burned wantonly, as dazzling as a solar flare!
In the flames, the Duke of Hell rolled and roared in pain.
His soul and body were burned together.
His strength, his spirituality, and his flesh and blood melted together!
And the filth in his body and the blasphemous energy in his soul were directly vaporized and burned in the flames. Finally, they turned into pale golden lines that lingered in his flesh and blood.
In less than a few seconds, the Duke of Hell was roasted into a crystal clear thing that looked like a grasshopper in the flames.
Just as he said: roast a bug to eat!
Moreover, Li Shouyi and Situ He could clearly feel that in the roasting of the flames.
All the undesirable and corrosive things in the soul and flesh of the Duke of Hell had been converted into a special substance.
These substances were mixed with the spirituality and flesh of the Duke of Hell.
It made it a divine object that Li Shouyi and Situ He could not help but drool over!
They could smell the fragrance even through the screen!
"If I can eat this grasshopper..." Li Shouyi swallowed his saliva. "I will definitely be able to immediately break through the current shackles and step into a brand new world!"
That was for sure!
That was a divine object that the owner of the bookstore had personally refined after countless years of accumulation and precipitation of the essence of a Duke of Hell in some kind of terrifying magical flame!
It was probably an existence that was enough to completely revive a god!
In addition, the owner of the bookstore personally made it, causing its quality to suddenly rise!
Even if Situ He ate it, he would probably be able to ascend immediately!
But …
In the next second, Li Shouyi and Situ He both saw the owner of the bookstore throw the grasshopper, which had been roasted on the grill, to the kitten at his feet. It was a divine object that was flowing with five-colored light and contained infinite psionic power.
His pet, the cat goddess, Bastet!
Li Shouyi swallowed his saliva.
"Humans are inferior to cats!" He sighed.
Situ He swallowed his saliva and sighed, "Humans are inferior to cats!"
… …
The kitten, Bastet, opened her mouth and caught the grasshopper that Ling Ping'an threw at her.
She bit it in one bite!
Tears gushed out from the corner of her mouth.
Just as she was about to swallow it all in one gulp.
She suddenly thought of something.
Thus, she picked up the grasshopper and ran into the house.
Ling Ping'an watched and knew that the kitten was probably used to eating in the corner behind his back.
Therefore, he didn't care about it. Instead, he stood up and began to prepare to cook the mushrooms.
… …
The little black cat held the fragrant grasshopper in its mouth that made him drool.
It jumped into the utility room.
A small flame appeared beside it.
The dark blue flame and plasma saliva couldn't help but gush out.
The little black cat endured the pain and bit open the grasshopper in its mouth, giving it about a third of the meat.
Then, it threw about 20% of the meat into a plastic basin.
Kacha kacha!
Only then did it lie down and wolfed down the food.
Kacha kacha. The sound of chewing also came from the plastic basin.
Slurp! Slurp!
The little flame licked the meat in its hand.
It cherished and valued it very much.
Because, this was a treasure that the great ruler had personally roasted!
Therefore, even though the raw material was only a low-level secondary devil.
But...
This also had countless benefits for him!
The little flame even felt that if he could completely digest this piece of meat.
Then...
His status could be further improved!
Perhaps, in the future, he could become the pope of the living flame!
He could become the leader of all the other high-level priests!
He could even have his own star.
From there, he would have the possibility of becoming an outer god!
From the old rulers to the outer gods, not only did he need strength and knowledge, but he also needed recognition!
Because, the old rulers were just powerful old gods.
But the outer gods grasped the rules, and they were even existences that were the incarnations of the rules!
Therefore, all the authority and strength of the outer gods came from him.
The great ruler, the origin and foundation of all things!
