"Who exactly was that advisor?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Human?" Buttercup was clearly in a good mood, so she continued: "Let me remind you, both she and I aren't human, we're both currently pretending to be humans"
"Why do you have to do that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Buttercup replied: "Humans are a race that's easy to communicate with. Many monsters in the void take human forms simply because compared to their original gigantic bodies, humans are able to disguise their identities better, as well as avoid the Apocalypse"
Thinking of something, she chuckled: "There was once a Wormhole Demon Spirit who took human form and fell in love with a Void Fishwoman who also took human form for 5 years — — in truth, the Demon Spirit itself feeds on floating fishes — — but it wasn't until 5 years later that they found out about each other's true identity"
Gu Qing Shan recalled that scene and couldn't help but ask: "Then did the Demon Spirit eat the Void Fishwoman?"
Buttercup replied: "No, he let her go, but she combined her experiences to write a novel about a domineering CEO, which went viral"
Gu Qing Shan rubbed her temples.
What a mess.
"Alright, let's not talk about anything else, so what exactly was that advisor's race?" Gu Qing Shan pulled the conversation back to the main topic.
Buttercup mysteriously replied: "Don't ask, she's very cautious and doesn't like people asking about her, so let's not offend her on this matter"
While they were talking, Buttercup seemed to have sensed something and abruptly waved her hand.
The phonograph disappeared.
The sound of music and voices also disappeared.
The sound of a dog barking could be heard from outside.
Then, there was a deep and resounding voice.
"This humble one is You Tian Gui, a Wraith Might of the Wraith realm. I've come to pay a visit under the Wraith Lord's orders, may I ask if Butterfly Maiden is here?"
A Wraith realm person.
Buttercup quickly exchanged glances with Gu Qing Shan.
They arrived so quickly.
This You Tian Gui doesn't seem to be on Cang Wu Zhang's side, most likely a subordinate of another Wraith Lord. Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
"Come in" Buttercup casually said.
The door slowly opened.
A man wearing a yaksha mask and full body armor walked in.
He looked at Buttercup, then at Gu Qing Shan.
"I have no choice but to take the liberty to come here. I hope that Lady Butterfly will not blame me." You Tian Gui said.
"I don't think I have anything to do with your Wraith realm, why did you come here?" Buttercup asked.
At this moment, two short screams could be heard from outside.
Someone reported, "Lord Nethery, we've checked the memories of these two gardeners. When the incident happened, the assassin was with the butterfly lady and didn't go out."
You Tian Gui listened without batting an eyelid, his gaze fixed on Gu Qing Shan.
He didn't believe it.
Buttercup slammed the table and said angrily, "What did you do to the gardener outside? How dare you touch my people in my territory? "
You Tian Gui explained: "Those two gardeners aren't from the Ominous Demon Tower, nor are they Lady Butterfly's subordinates, but rather flower artists from the Emerald Green world, that's why we're using them to obtain some information"
He took a step forward and asked Gu Qing Shan: "This … Unsolvable rank Hitman, you seemed to be quite arrogant yesterday and even got into a conflict with our Elder Du?"
Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up and casually replied: "If it weren't for the City Lord's people stopping me, he would already be dead"
A sword appeared in his hand.
Faint killing intent exuded from his body.
Hearing that, You Tian Gui couldn't help but be surprised.
— — -does he not know that Elder Du is already dead?
When questioned, murderers usually don't show any signs of wanting to kill their target.
Furthermore …
A mere Unsolvable rank Hitman dares to speak to me like that?
Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed: "Are you thinking that a mere Unsolvable rank Hitman dares to speak to you like that?"
He took a step forward and continued:
"Truthfully, who do you think you are?"
You Tian Gui's killing intent surged and was about to draw his weapon when Buttercup spoke up.
Buttercup replied: "He is a family member of our Ominous Demon Tower, a family member of mine"
Gu Qing Shan continued to smirk: "I've only just arrived at Void City, so I'm only Unsolvable rank. If you're not afraid of death, how about we fight outside?"
Buttercup narrowed her eyes: "Daring to touch a member of our Ominous Demon Tower, I think I should tell our Tower Master about this"
You Tian Gui paused, unable to react.
Gu Qing Shan quickly walked out, kicked the door open, and stood on the empty ground outside.
"Come, let's decide who's the winner!" he loudly shouted.
You Tian Gui didn't move.
Normally, such an arrogant person would either die early on, or they're actually quite capable.
But isn't this personality a bit too easy to ignite …
From the looks of it, he's most likely relying on the Ominous Demon Tower's power.
— — no wonder he dared to turn against Elder Du on the spot.
This type of person is very simple, their path has been too smooth, so they're arrogant and overbearing.
Logically speaking, he can't be the culprit.
However … I still have to test his strength.
If he's weak, then I can completely eliminate him.
If he really is strong enough to kill Elder Du and the others in a few seconds, then this matter will become complicated.
— — -more importantly, this person is related to the Ominous Demon Tower.
Then I'll have to report this to the Wraith Lord and let him decide how to deal with him.
You Tian Gui had already made up his mind, so he took out a halberd from his back and said: "Very well, I'll go with you — —"
Before he could finish, Buttercup had already taken out a glowing butterfly and muttered: "Tower Master, the Wraith realm people have broken into my home … hm … yes … yes … they want to kill my family"
You Tian Gui immediately put the halberd back on his back and shouted: "Wait! Your excellency Butterfly Lady, I'm only here to take a look and greet you, I have no intention of disturbing you or your family "
Buttercup coldly stared at him and asked: "Really?"
The man outside was still shouting: "Puppy, come out and fight your grandpa!"
The veins on You Tian Gui's forehead were twitching, he took a deep breath and slowly replied: "It's true, I'm here to greet you"
— — I don't have any proof.
While the other party is furious, I definitely can't touch the family members of the Ominous Demon Tower.
The ominous demons have never been reasonable, so if I really provoke all of them, even the Wraith Lords would have a headache.
After all, the ominous demons' threatening methods are too strange.
The three Wraith Lords still haven't found a suitable way to deal with them.
Buttercup coldly scoffed: "Remember what you said, if I see you bullying my family members, I won't hold back"
"Understood, this humble one will take his leave" You Tian Gui replied.
He turned around and quickly left the room.
The man outside was still wielding his sword, still shouting: "Don't go — –"
"Farewell"
You Tian Gui flew up and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a hand appeared from the void of space and lightly pushed him back down.
You Tian Gui once again stood on the ground.
As he turned around, he saw that both his shoulders were being held down.
Around him, dozens of burly men had already surrounded him.
"Brat, did you dare to bully our people?"
A man with a cartoon bear tattoo on his chest shouted.
You Tian Gui felt cold sweat dripping down his back.
"Tower Master, it's like this, one of our Elders was killed, and in just a few seconds, the other party …"
"But before that, we found out that this — — erm, Lady Die's man seemed to have a bit of a grudge against our Elder"
"… This was a misunderstanding, because I noticed that Lady Die and her man had been staying at home the entire night, so it wasn't her man who did it …"
"All in all, it was my mistake, I hope everyone can forgive me"
"Hah, this was all our Wraith Lord's orders, I was only doing my job, please have mercy and don't make things difficult for us servants"
After explaining everything clearly, he hurriedly apologized and complained, lowering his status as much as possible.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Boundless killing intent emanated from the bodies of these burly men, almost as if it was real.
Such killing intent!
You Tian Gui couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead and bowed: "Everyone, this humble one truly didn't mean to offend you"
The group of men all shook their heads.
Suddenly, one of them asked with a coarse voice:
"Just now, you said … Buttercup and her man had been staying at home the entire time?"
All the ominous demons stared at You Tian Gui.
If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to know the truth, they would have already crushed this ghost.
Standing in the middle, You Tian Gui felt like he was about to die.
He gritted his teeth and pointed at Gu Qing Shan: "That's right, his suspicions can be eliminated, this humble one can guarantee that he wasn't the one who did it — — this humble one will not investigate him again, this humble one guarantees!"
A second later, all the ominous demons turned to look at Gu Qing Shan at the same time.
Gu Qing Shan's hair stood on end.
Why … do I feel like I'm about to die?
At this point, a voice came from inside the room:
"Who said he's my man?"
Buttercup walked out and scoffed at You Tian Gui: "You want to investigate a murder case with that kind of eyesight? He's clearly my little brother "
As soon as she said so.
Gu Qing Shan instantly felt like he had been revived.
His mind moved and loudly said: "That's right, of course I'm your little brother — — why are you staring at me?"
The men all smiled at Gu Qing Shan.
"Ah, such a handsome young man, do you want to become an ominous demon?"
The Tower Master asked on behalf of everyone.
