Gu Qing Shan slowly sighed.
Finally, I've become a Titled Hitman.
[Hell Lord] is a very useful Title Skill, which might be useful in a lot of situations from now on.
He regained his senses, placed the dishes on the table, split the bowls and utensils with Buttercup, then sat down.
Buttercup tasted each dish and praised: "Hm, they taste quite good, much better than what I made"
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a bottle of liquor, then gestured to him:
"An appetizer, would you like some?"
"— — -no, I can't drink alcohol today"
Saying so, Buttercup waved her hand to summon three glasses of fruit juice on the table.
Gu Qing Shan silently watched this.
Buttercup placed one glass of fruit juice in front of Gu Qing Shan, the other in front of an empty seat, then added a set of utensils.
"I hope that you'll be clear-headed when you listen to what I'm about to say" Buttercup said.
Gu Qing Shan quickly realized and asked: "There's news about my matter?"
Earlier, Buttercup had agreed to help him enter the Wraith realm, but that was on the condition that he had to at least become a Titled Combatant.
And now, Gu Qing Shan had already achieved that.
He was the inheritor of the Dragon Ancestor, the Destroyer of the Plague Apocalypse, the Hitman everyone knew: Dragon King of Atrocity Jail.
Buttercup spoke with a serious expression: "I'm guessing that the matter of the City Lord's manor will soon be over. Just wait, she'll most likely come. I hope that you'll be clear-headed when you talk to her, because what we're about to say is very important"
Suddenly, a female voice resounded from the void of space:
"How fragrant, I'm also hungry"
A woman walked out from the void of space and casually sat down on the empty seat.
She took a sip from the glass of fruit juice.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her and fell into thought.
"There's no need to think about it anymore, I was the one who gave you that title" the woman nodded at him.
She had a pair of bright emerald eyes that made anyone who saw them feel like they couldn't help but fall into them.
Long black hair, fair skin.
His whole body was wrapped in a long dark green robe with white patterns, and his whole body exuded a mysterious and noble aura.
"Are you … the chief of staff of the City Lord's Mansion?"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and asked.
The woman smiled faintly. "That's right, I'm an advisor because I'm the one who's making the decisions for the City Lord's Manor."
Buttercup put on a serious expression and said, "No one can come in here, and no one can hear anything. So if you want to say or do something, just do it. Don't waste each other's time."
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Buttercup.
[Just tell me, I guarantee that she is trustworthy — — right now, you have to make her trust you] Buttercup silently sent her voice.
Gu Qing Shan understood.
The woman lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, as if waiting for Gu Qing Shan to speak first.
Gu Qing Shan stood up and scooped a bowl of rice for the woman and placed it in front of her.
"These are the dishes I made — — I hope you can try my cooking" Gu Qing Shan said.
The woman's expression changed a bit.
She suddenly recalled that when this fiend came to her place to divine his title, he said that his wish was to open a restaurant.
What a strange fiend …
The woman picked up the bowl and tasted each dish.
Her brows slowly relaxed.
"Buttercup said that you want to go to the Wraith realm" the woman said.
Gu Qing Shan also picked up her bowl and replied while eating: "Yes"
"Didn't you think exposing the matter of the Saint Spirit world before wasn't enough?"
The woman looked straight into Gu Qing Shan's eyes and casually said: "How about I help you talk to them, I'll at least have some face, and you can just turn the wraiths from enemies into friends"
"I personally don't have any grudges with the wraiths, even if I did, I've already cleared it up" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The woman put down her bowl and asked: "Then why did you still beg Buttercup to go to the Wraith realm?"
"I only want to go to their world to finish a certain matter" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What is it?" the woman asked.
"To destroy them" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Isn't there no grudge between you and them?" the woman asked again.
"No one would hold grudges against trash on the ground, but people still want to throw their trash into the trash can" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The woman's lips curled up slightly, picked up her bowl and chopsticks again, picked up some food, and began eating with relish.
She then asked: "When I performed divination for you last time, you didn't tell me your real name, was it because of the customs of your fiend race?"
Gu Qing Shan paused for a split second, then replied: "I'm sorry, I'm actually human, my name is Gu Qing Shan"
The woman's chopsticks stopped for a while before she picked up some food.
"The ultimate Soul Artifact of the Eternal Abyss, wielder of Heaven and Earth, I know you"
"You know me?"
"Yes, I also know that you wouldn't stand on the side of the wraiths …"
The woman muttered.
She took out a piece of white silk and lightly placed it on the table in front of Gu Qing Shan.
A single word appeared on the white silk.
[Nineteen]
Looking at the white silk, Buttercup smiled faintly.
She had been listening to their conversation earlier, only now did she pick up her bowl and began to eat.
"How delicious, Gu Qing Shan, if you have time, you should come to my place and cook more"
She continued to eat, completely ignoring the two people next to her.
The woman then turned to Gu Qing Shan and said: "Take this white silk, it is a symbol of status"
"What status?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"My servant" the woman explained further: "In half a month, I will be heading to the Wraith realm. With this white silk, you are essentially one of my subordinates, allowing the wraiths to pass through"
"What are you heading to the Wraith realm for?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"I want to get married" the woman replied.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
The woman's expression didn't change and casually replied: "I am the daughter of Void City's City Lord, I will be marrying one of the three Wraith Lords through a marriage alliance"
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the white silk on the table and asked: "You want to get married to the Wraith realm, but you're willing to bring me, someone who wants to destroy the Wraith realm, with you?"
The woman replied: "The marriage is fake, the Wraith realm has done a lot of outrageous things in secret, so I have an irreconcilable grudge against them. The majority of the forces of Void City have secretly contacted each other, preparing to use this marriage alliance as a springboard to enter the Wraith realm — — -"
She abruptly went silent.
Seeing her expression, Gu Qing Shan slowly understood.
"You also want to destroy the Wraith realm?" he asked.
The woman nodded and replied: "We've made thorough preparations and gathered a large number of experts. Over the past few years, we've slowly made the necessary preparations. The only problem is that the Wraith realm is very hard to enter, so we decided to openly enter through a marriage alliance"
Gu Qing Shan muses: "Why does the Wraith realm want to marry you?"
The woman replied: "I'm an expert at calculating the connections between people, as well as the connections between all things and living beings, the wraiths have been longing for this ability of mine for a very long time"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "But you're the daughter of Void City's City Lord, the entire Void City is paying close attention to you, so they wouldn't dare to risk universal condemnation and harm you"
"Indeed, so they begged my father to marry me" the woman replied.
"And your father agreed?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"My father is already dead, so I agreed" the woman replied.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then pushed the white silk back on the table.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept this white silk"
He said.
