Chapter 179: The Wedding of Ms. Dianhuo and Chusheng Dongxi
Seeing Li Cheng walking beside Lord Dianhuo, the chief guard was dumbfounded.

No, man, that's not right.

According to common sense, shouldn't you have been burned to ashes by the wrath of Master Dianhuo?
Why are you always by her side?

"No, tell me, maybe I'm overthinking it. Lord Dianhuo might just want to kill this kid in public to serve as a warning to others. Yes, there is still such a possibility."

The chief guard kept wiping the sweat from his head, and the trembling in his heart eased a little.

But the next second, his fantasy was shattered.

As Ms. Dianhuo was walking, she suddenly stretched out her hand and held Li Cheng's hand.

The two of them held each other's fingers, and the huge fireball above Ms. Dianhuo's neck suddenly became several hundred degrees more intense than before.

An extremely happy look.

Seeing this scene, the chief guard immediately broke out in a sweat.

No buddy, this… this is even more wrong.

He also knew that his guess just now was most likely a delusion.

Since Li Cheng came out with Dianhuo, he naturally became her confidant.

Although it only took one day to become Dianhuo's confidant, the chief guard still couldn't accept it.

But he could only admire him, thinking that Li Cheng's level of flattery was extremely high and that he was a demon who was very good at improving himself.

However, he never expected that Li Cheng's target was never Dianhuo's confidant, but Dianhuo's husband!
No, man, that's flame, that's a collection of flames, if you're not careful, it will turn you into a horrible charcoal-grilled chicken.

How can you get down to eating meat?

At the same time, the chief guard also became extremely frightened.

He remembered his previous ridicule of Li Cheng.

At this moment, he felt as if the word death was already hung on his head.

"Ha, ha, ha, the life of a demon is so colorful, ha ha."

"Momo, I'm going to die today."

Wu Likun was as terrified as he was.

At this moment, his heart was pounding, his scalp was tingling, his hands and feet were trembling, and there was even yellow liquid in his crotch.

I mock those who have no money.

Curse those who die early.
He despised himself and cursed the man as a peasant.

She is actually the lover of a big shot living in the palace of this shadowy land?
No,

Am I dreaming?
He pinched his thigh hard, and only after feeling the pain did he shed tears of regret.

Although he didn't know who the demon living in the palace was, looking at the extremely respectful looks of the guards around him, he knew that he must be a big shot with great power and status.

Annoyed the lover of such a big shot.

Can you survive by yourself?
At the same time, an idea popped up in my mind.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

There is absolutely no living creature that can conquer such a big man in one day.

So, this is a trap, this is a trap!
In just a moment, Wu Likun's eyes became bloodshot.

He had already understood that this was a trap set by the big shot.

She sent her husband, disguised as a prisoner, to conduct a secret visit to secretly investigate whether the guards were loyal and whether their actions were presumptuous.

That Hughes Dahl, he is a wolf among the sheep!
No, it's more than that!
Wu Likun's eyes trembled, and his gaze immediately turned to Luo Tian who was in a daze.

That’s right, this is not just about eliminating dissidents, but also about finding confidants for his lover!
Although Wu Likun has never been a big shot, he has imagined himself becoming a big shot.

In his imagination, he must have been the most powerful and wealthy person in the world at that time, and he could get everything he wanted, but the only thing he couldn't get was his close and trustworthy confidant.

Everyone around you approaches you either for money, fame, or power.

Days like that are really too boring and tedious.

There is no mistake, this move by Seuss Dahl is just to find a friend and a confidant for himself!

Just like those rich second generation guys, they pretend to be poor and look for a girlfriend who likes him and doesn’t like money!

Thinking of this, Wu Likun's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He has already figured out how he is going to survive.

The next second, he lay on the ground, crawling at a speed comparable to Bolt's running, passing through layers of obstacles, and came to Luo Tian's side, lowering his head: "Please save me, sir!"

Luo Tian: “Ah?”

To be honest, Luo Tian still hasn't figured out what exactly happened.

He felt like he had drunk too much and was losing his mind.

But he also doesn't like drinking.

He raised his head and stared blankly at Li Cheng who was standing on the platform, feeling as if he was in another world.

Is this person really the Hughes Dahl who was exiled here with me last night?
Is this person really the same Hughes Dahl who is as poor as himself?

Could it be that he has been possessed by another spirit?
Luo Tian only remembered that Xius said he would take him away from here, and then he rejected his great jailbreak plan and walked into the palace resolutely.

Then, the sound of whipping and the howling of women were heard in the palace.

After that, Hughes Dahl never appeared again.

Luo Tian originally thought that Seuss Dahl was forcibly transformed into a female devil by the big shot inside, and then trained madly until her death.

Now it appears that the truth may be the opposite.

Hughes is not the one being trained, he is the one training others!

"Huh...huh..."

Luo Tian sniffed and suddenly realized that he was crying.

"I, was actually crying... So, I was actually feeling lucky. I was feeling lucky that Brother Xius was still alive."

Luo Tian let out a long sigh and shook his head, thinking that he was still too emotional.

At the same time, Luo Tian also felt that in the deepest part of that relief, there was another emotion hidden.

That is……

Sour!

Luo Tian felt like his teeth were about to fall out.

He was very happy that the friend he had just met was still alive.

But the friend he just met became the husband of his boss, and he was unhappy!

Woo woo woo woo, the class gap between demons is sometimes even greater than that between humans and dogs!

“Please save me, sir!” Wu Likun saw Luo Tian suddenly shed tears, and thought he showed an expression of “I finally made it”, so he kowtowed quickly: “Brother, Brother Tian, ​​godfather, now the person who can save me is only you!”

"I save you? How can I save you?"

Luo Tian then came back to his senses and looked at Wu Likun.

"Just, just say a few good words for me later. I didn't mean it. That's all, Brother Tian!" Wu Likun lay beside him, smiling flatteringly, "I will reward you handsomely after the matter is done, Brother Tian."

"But what I said is of no use." Luo Tian frowned.

"Oh, Brother Tian, ​​you don't understand. If there is anyone whose words are effective here, it's you, Brother Tian." Wu Likun kept wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Brother Tian, ​​I'll give you 10 million, 10 million. Just say a few words for me!"

"Ten million?! Am I worth that much?"

Luo Tian's voice suddenly rose.

It's not that you are worth so much money, it's that you know Lord Xius that is worth so much money... Wu Likun smiled awkwardly: "Of course, Brother Tian."

"Well..." Luo Tian instinctively wanted to agree, but he frowned and thought about it, and finally restrained his greed: "Brother Kun, I can't accept this money. Well, I can help you tell Brother Xius about this, and you give him the money, how about it?"

“No, buddy, this…” Wu Likun was a little confused about Luo Tian.

Of course, he also had to give money to Hughes Dahl. He would be willing to give away all his belongings as long as he could buy a way to survive.

But the 10 million promised to Luo Tian was the reward for the middleman.

Wu Likun couldn't figure out for a moment whether Luo Tian was rejecting him in disguise or he was really too straightforward and didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter.

Just then, the sound of fire was heard.

"Good morning everyone."

Wu Likun quickly shut up and lowered his head lower and lower, fearing that he would be recognized.

The chief guard who was kneeling at the front of the crowd wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

In a normal situation like this, he would have flattered her two hundred times in a row, done his utmost to flatter her and tried every possible way to make Ms. Dianhuo happy.

But today, he didn't dare at all.

Not only did I not dare, but I also felt a sense of grief and despair.

"Then I won't say any more nonsense." Dianhuo's voice was quite cold, and naturally carried the majesty of a superior: "You are all servants and guards sent to serve me, and you should offer me all your loyalty."

"am I right?"

"As it should be!"

The heads of the demons were buried lower and lower.

"Well, I never give you orders on weekdays. But today, there is something I need you to do."

"I will obey your command, sir."

"Yes." Dianhuo nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand holding Li Cheng's: "I believe you have also seen that from today on, my lover Xiu Si Dahl and I will become husband and wife."

"We need to hold a grand wedding, and it's only natural that we need to build a large venue."

Hearing this, Li Cheng frowned.

He just wanted Dianhuo to find a reason to help him build a national land refining array in a quiet place, similar to the underground passage of the City of Fraud.

I didn't expect this guy to use the wedding as an excuse.

When the chief guard who was lying in the front heard this, his eyes shook again.

He originally thought that Hughes Dahl had become a crazy male lover, but he didn't expect...

We have actually reached the stage of getting married...

"All matters concerning the wedding venue will be left to my husband, Hughes Dahl." Dianhuo continued, "From today on, you will see him as you see me. Anyone who dares to disobey will be treated as this man."

As she spoke, she waved her hand gently.

The adjutant beside the chief guard was on fire and began to scream and wail.

"Ah, it's hot, it's hot, help, help!"

"No, no!"

The screams did not last for more than a few seconds before the adjutant turned into ashes, without even his soul left.

The demons, who were supposed to return to the abyss, have lost even the right to eternal life.

At this moment, all the demons present were trembling with fear and terrified.

The chief guard was extremely frightened.

He was quite clear that the adjutant who was burned to death was the demon who had mocked Xius with him before.

He was burned to death like this, how far am I from being killed?

"Well, my speech is over, haha." Dianhuo looked at Li Cheng again: "Well, Darling, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Cheng thought for a moment and said softly, "Well, the chief guard, Wu Likun, and Luo Tian, ​​the three of you, come over later."

After saying this, he took Dianhuo's hand without looking back and walked towards the palace.

They didn't care at all and were left disheveled, shivering in the wind, and terrified to the extreme, the chief guard and Wu Likun.
-

Inside the palace.

As soon as she entered the door, the flames on Dianhuo's head disappeared, and instead, there was the extremely charming face from last night.

“Father God, how am I doing?”

She hugged Li Cheng's neck as if to seek credit, with seductive eyes.

There was no trace of the majestic and stern look he had just shown in front of the demons.

"Not bad, but the number of sacrifices is not enough."

"Don't worry. I've asked that fake Fury to continue sending the sacrifices. They will probably arrive tonight. But in order to prevent you from being exposed, I can only ask for 10 more batches of sacrifices at most."

"10 batches are enough." Li Cheng nodded.

There are about 300 to 500 prisoners in each batch, and 10 batches means 3000 to 5000 people, oh no, demons.

The demon prisoners sent here are not ordinary trash.

They are all monsters who have committed serious crimes.

In other words, they are all stronger.

In the words of Mr. Li Cheng, the surplus value is relatively high, which makes it quite suitable for smelting.

"Well done." Li Cheng praised. "Hehe, for Father God, this is what I should do." Dianhuo looked at Li Cheng lovingly: "By the way, Father God, since I did a good job, then... can you be a little gentler when you hit me next time?"

So you were waiting for me here... Li Cheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then he showed an extremely sad expression: "Ms. Dianhuo, it turns out that you still can't accept me... It turns out that everything before was fake..."

"No, no!" Dianhuo was about to cry but had no tears: "I was just kidding, Father God, hit me hard, I love being hit the most!"

She kept slapping herself in her mind.

Why did you agree to such an impolite request in the first place?

Now, because of the cost of silence, I can’t even give up.

Woo woo woo,
If it wasn't because of love, who would want to be beaten?

Wait, why is it that in the scenes I imagined in my mind, I was the one getting beaten?
Just at this moment, a trembling voice was heard outside the palace door.

"Um, Lord Dianhuo, Lord Hughes, can we come in?"

It sounded like the chief guard.

Dianhuo's eyes trembled, and he kissed Li Cheng again. Then his head was angry, and he returned to his usual state, sitting upright on the side seat: "Father God, give the order, you are in charge of the matter here."

"Yeah." Li Cheng nodded and sat down in the main seat next to him: "Come in."

Squeak.

The door opened.

The three chief guards walked in tremblingly.

The chief guard kept his head down and could not walk properly. The fear of death made his adrenaline surge and drops of sweat dripped to the ground.

Wu Likun was not much better off. If he hadn't been afraid of dirtying the floor and dying faster, he would have been scared to death.

Luo Tian followed behind the two of them. He was not afraid at first, after all, he did not provoke Li Cheng.

But influenced by the two of them, he was also scared and his body began to tremble.

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Luo Tian, ​​what are you afraid of? Go sit over there."

"Ah? Oh, oh, thank you, Master Xius...." Luo Tian hurriedly sat aside.

The chief guard and Wu Likun also fully realized that Li Cheng was going to target them.

Before Wu Likun could react, the chief guard rushed to Li Cheng at lightning speed, fell to his knees with a bang, and bowed his head.

"Good luck to Lord Hughes Dahl, good luck to Lord Dianhuo!"

Then, before Li Cheng and Dianhuo could reply, he slapped himself in the face:
"I was blind and disrespected you, my Lord."

"I am blind and have made the adults unhappy."

"I'm damned, I'm so damned."

"I'm an idiot, I'm a bitch, I'm a jerk."

"..."

This scene stunned Wu Likun.

No, man, those are my lines!

You've said it all, what should I say?

Thinking of this, Wu Likun's eyes narrowed, he took a deep breath, slid to his knees, and slid directly from the door to Li Cheng's front.

Then he pulled open his clothes, and various gold cards flashed.

"Mr. Xius, this money adds up to more than 70 million. This is your pension as a gift to you! Mr. Xius!"

"Child?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I met Sir Xius today, and I felt that you were wise and brave, strong and powerful, very smart, and tough, so I yearned for you." Wu Likun shouted: "If you don't give up, I will worship you as my godfather!"

Shit! The guard chief's eyes flickered.

Damn it, this guy actually used the forbidden trick of recognizing his father.

Damn, why didn't I think of that...

So he kowtowed three times, "Me too. I also want to take you as my godfather, Your Excellency Hughes!"

Li Cheng: …

No, do all the NPCs in your game like to have me as their godfather?
However, if you want to be my godson, it depends on your level.

As it stands, these two guys obviously do not meet Li Cheng's requirements.

So, Li Cheng leaned forward with interest and said, "I say, you two, I still like your unruly looks, how about you restore them?"

"How dare I, Father Hughes!"

"Yes, Dad, how dare we act rebellious in front of you!"

"Dad, please take these!"

"And these of mine!"

As they spoke, the chief guard and Wu Likun took out the supplementary gold cards and storage rings in their pockets.

The two of them seemed to be competing with each other, fearing that the one who gave less would die suddenly.

In a short while, the place in front of Li Cheng was full.

He took a quick look and raised his eyes.

"Sir, you have amassed a lot of wealth over the years, Mr. Guard."

"Haha, this, this is all for you, Dad." The chief guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I am just a bank, helping you save money, haha."

"That means there is more." Li Cheng smiled playfully.

"Also, more!" The chief guard swallowed his saliva twice and said quickly, "There are still quite a few things that are hard to carry. I saved them all. I'll bring them all to you later."

He originally wanted to hide some of it, but when he saw Li Cheng's smile, he dared not hide it anymore.

In order to survive, he really risked everything.

These money and resources are the hard-earned money of the people that he has plundered bit by bit over the past few hundred years through his diligent work in Dianhuo.

Now, it's all gone.

But the chief guard had no intention of resisting.

If you lose your money you can still be greedy, but if you lose your life, it is really gone.

He is still very clear about this.

Li Cheng also smiled.

A quick look at these sundries revealed that there were about 100 to 200 million gold coins alone, not to mention the gems and relics that had not yet been converted into cash.

Although the money belonged to the demon clan and Li Cheng had little use for it, the organization of Ominous Blade gave him inspiration.

Since this game has such a high degree of freedom, it shouldn't be a problem to develop an organization of your own, right?
If you want to completely kill the Will of the Abyss and achieve this hidden ending, you can do it by relying on your own strength, but the speed is a bit too slow.

He planned to expand his own power with the twenty or so half-demons of the Ominous Blade as the core.

Well, form a powerful fighting force that belongs to you alone, with all the members being beautiful girls.

A powerful organization that can influence the outcome of this game.

To do this, he needs a lot of money and resources.

Although the Dragon Lady below is rich, the situation in Storm King City itself is not very good. It is probably impossible to maintain a strong organization.

In this case, we should start from the abyss, refine them while harvesting their wealth.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng looked at Wu Likun again and shook the bag in his hand: "Brother Kun, this is a little too little."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Just call me Xiao Kunzi." Wu Likun was sweating profusely. "Well, I, although I don't have much left, my family still has a lot. I am the only son and the only heir in the family. I will write a letter and ask them to send the money over."

"Oh? How much can you get?"

"One, one or two hundred million gold coins should be no problem." Wu Likun had been observing Li Cheng's expression. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he quickly said, "If there is enough time, we can sell our property and get four or five hundred million."

"Hehe, if you sell off your property, your family will be penniless." Li Cheng joked.

"No, it's okay. I'm willing to do it for you, Dad." Wu Likun said with all his strength.

"Okay, that's enough. Just transfer the 100 or 200 million to your card quickly." Li Cheng waved his hand.

On the one hand, it would take too long to sell off the property. Wu Likun only had a few days left to live before he turned into regenerative power. He would not be able to get those properties in this lifetime.

On the other hand, the nobles are not stupid. If they really have to sell their property, they will definitely choose to give up Wu Likun and practice the trumpet directly.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it now."

"Well, that's enough. You two don't have to call me dad anymore. It will shorten your life." Li Cheng waved his hand: "To be honest, there is actually no grudge between us, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The two people kneeling below smiled flatteringly.

"So, next I will tell you two things. If you complete them, the matter of offending me will be over." Li Cheng picked up the black tea handed to him by Dianhuo and took a sip.

"We will do our utmost, until our death, without complaint!"

The two of them bowed their heads hastily, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems like he really doesn't have to die this time.

Li Cheng felt amused when he saw them like this.

He had no intention of really letting these two guys go.

But now, Li Cheng still has to build the refining array and collect wealth from the nobles, so the two of them are still useful.

Wait until you've squeezed all their value out of them, then send them off.

"Okay, Chief Guard, you will be responsible for receiving the prisoners who will come later, and then take them to build the venue according to this blueprint." Li Cheng took out the map of the National Land Refining Array: "You only have two days, is it enough?"

"Enough, enough."

The chief guard quickly took the blueprint, looked at the size marked on it, and found that one-third of the shadow area would have to be covered.

Two days is actually a bit tight for a building of this scale.

"What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"No problem, I promise to complete the task." The chief guard stood at attention immediately.

He thought about it and decided that the worst that could happen was to give the prisoners illegal drugs to drain their vitality.

As long as it's not me who dies, anything is fine.

"Okay then." Li Cheng looked at Wu Likun again: "You will be responsible for squeezing all the money out of the demon nobles who come here. I want them and their families to have no savings left. Can you do it?"

"No problem." Wu Likun nodded quickly.

As a demon who often bribes, he is a professional in this area and can guarantee that the task can be completed.

"Well, after this deal, you will be our own people." Li Cheng patted their shoulders and began to make plans: "I also know that there is a lot of money to be made here."

"I'm sure they won't be willing if you two take all of it at once."

"So, I only want this first wave. We can discuss how to divide the rest."

"What do you two think?"

"Of course we will. We will do whatever you say, sir!" The chief guard answered first.

He originally thought that his life was hopeless and he would become Li Cheng's hard laborer and would never earn a penny again.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better at this point.

As long as this job is done well, you can still make money next time.

Although I don't earn as much as before, this time, I am actually connected with Lord Dianhuo.

The level of security increased immediately.

No need to worry about getting burned.

This roller coaster-like feeling from hell to heaven made the chief guard breathe a sigh of relief.

He made up his mind that he must work hard to satisfy the adults.

"Yes, sir." Wu Likun was also happy.

He originally thought that he was dead now, but unexpectedly, he got the chance to become one of his own.

He knew very well what it meant to be in touch with such a big shot.

Wu Likun quickly lowered his head and became even more respectful.

This method of turning enemies into friends made him admire Lord Hughes Dahl very much.

Li Cheng looked at the two of them, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

After eating the pancakes, these two guys are full of motivation. I believe they will work harder.

Li Cheng likes these demons who are full of hope and vitality the most.

After these demons knew the truth that they were going to be refined, the despair they felt must have increased exponentially.

The pain brought by despair must be able to provide a lot of good energy.

A painful energy, a regenerative power.

Obviously, this is a win-win!
Get ready to start refining!
