Chapter 181 Scarlet Shinzumi: Wait a minute, my ancestor is in love with my unworthy descendants?

Three hours after Dianhuo left the Shadow Land.

The palace gate slowly opened.

Li Cheng walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, head held high, and a sunny smile on his face.

He was dressed very formally today, wearing a white high-necked shirt as an inner lining, a black double-breasted robe on the outside, slim-fitting suit pants, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet.

His hair was not let down with bangs as usual, but was combed up, revealing his forehead, looking like an adult.

There is no way, today is the day to have dinner with my mother-in-law.

As the disciple and master of Master Tata, he had to dress more solemnly.

"Cough cough."

After two light dry coughs, all the demons in the entire shadow land put down their hoes in an instant.

They rushed over as fast as they could and surrounded them.

Nearly 4,000 demons who had committed heinous crimes stood together in unison and shouted like minions:
"Welcome back, Lord Hughes!"

The last time such a strange scene occurred was when the army of the abyss invaded the Destiny Continent and the gods were recruiting their troops.

The chief guard and Wu Likun, who were standing at the front of the team, looked at the speed of these demons and smiled with satisfaction.

As expected, the magic soldiers trained by the two of them for a day and a night have their own characteristics.

A prisoner who doesn't want to make progress is not a good demon soldier.

"Everyone, you did a great job." Li Cheng praised with his hands behind his back, "Not only did you complete the wedding venue for Ms. Dianhuo and I in one day and one night, but you also exceeded my impolite request."

That's right, after thinking about having dinner with his mother-in-law, Li Cheng asked Wu Likun and the chief guard to take these demons and draw a blood sacrifice formation on the national land refining formation.

Of course, this formation was also given to him by the Scarlet True Ancestor. It is the most hidden and rare summoning formation.

It is a secret that only the leader of the vampire clan can know.

These demons have not yet reached the level where they can come into contact with this forbidden formation, so of course they cannot recognize what it is.

Of course, Li Cheng's acquisition of this secret can not be said to be unworthy of the position.

After all, the only descendant of the True Ancestor who can be contacted at present is Master Tata.

To be precise, Li Cheng is the leader of the vampire clan.

The most important thing is that this sacrificial array has an isolating effect. People outside the ceremony cannot perceive what is happening inside the ceremony at all.

It is most suitable for Li Cheng to have an affair behind the back of Niangniang Dianhuo.

"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Wu Likun quickly knelt on one knee: "These are all things we should do."

"That's right!" The chief guard also knelt down with his sworn brother: "We will go through fire and water to serve Lord Xius, and we will not hesitate!"

"Well, you two are quite loyal." Li Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the other demons: "Okay, you have done a good job, so next, I will give you some rewards."

Hearing this, all the demons showed expressions of ecstasy on their faces.

The reason they work so hard is because Wu Likun and the chief guard have promised that if they do a good job, they will get unimaginable rewards.

These demons who have just arrived in the Shadow Land have begun to fantasize about what kind of rewards they will receive.

Is it to regain freedom directly?

Or reduce the sentence?

Or can it remove the shackles that restrict one's strength?
Of course it is to reward you and become my fuel, Li Cheng thought.

"Ahem, then..."

He clapped his hands again, and Luo Tian, ​​dressed in a waiter's uniform, walked out of the palace carrying a table on his shoulders and dragging two chairs in his hands.

He carefully arranged the tables and chairs, spread the tablecloth, poured the red wine into the decanter, and then prepared to leave.

"Luo Tian, ​​don't leave yet."

"Ah, Brother Xius... Master, do you have any other instructions?" Luo Tian stood aside tremblingly.

Although other demons said that he was already Xiusi's close friend and would soon rise to prominence.

But he himself did not have this real feeling. In front of Li Cheng, he did not dare to speak loudly.

Even those who used to call him Brother Xiusi don’t dare to call him that now.

"Well, you don't have to go down. I also need an attendant when I have dinner with that lady." Li Cheng smiled gently.

"Yes, sir." Luo Tian hurriedly stood aside respectfully.

Wu Likun and the chief guard below were so angry when they saw this scene.

In their view, being able to serve Li Cheng at close range is a symbol of honor.

Just like now, the two of them were kneeling below the stage, while Luo Tian was standing on the stage.

This is the class gap.

The two looked at each other and secretly made up their minds to have a good relationship with Luo Tian.

"By the way, Brother Kun, Lord Xius said he wanted to have dinner with that lady. I think he was referring to Lord Dianhuo." The chief guard transmitted the message.

"That's not inevitable. It's a blessing for Lord Xius to be with Lord Dianhuo. If this happened to me, it would be a great honor for my family!" Wu Likun said without hesitation:

"It's already like this, Lord Hughes, you can't go out to dinner with another woman behind Lord Dianhuo's back, right?"

"Well, you make sense." The chief guard also nodded.

Besides, this is Lord Dianhuo's territory. Even if Hughes Dal is very courageous, he wouldn't dare to steal food here, right?
The two were thinking, when suddenly, they felt dizzy.

Then, a thick gray fog spread from under their feet. The fog was different from ordinary fog. It was sticky, thick, slippery and warm.

It was as if they were not in fog, but in a quiet, blindingly deep sea.

My brain was captured by the fog, I couldn't see or hear anything.

Only the fear that arose for unknown reasons made them tremble and shake.

The surge of adrenaline made Wu Likun's forehead covered with sweat. He opened his mouth with difficulty and gasped for breath.

His bloodshot eyes were almost swollen out of his eyelids, and his heavy breathing, together with that of other demons, formed a horrifying symphony.

It was during this piece of music that Wu Likun began to speak.

He raised his head, grabbed his eye sockets with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I seem to see the starry sky, a blood-red starry sky..."

“Brother Kun, what are you talking about? There is no starry sky here. This is the land of shadows, a cave at the bottom of the abyss—” The chief guard stopped speaking halfway.

Because he raised his head and saw the horrifying scene as well.

A starry sky made of scarlet.

Bright stars are scattered all over the sky, emitting dazzling and soft light.

But the light seemed so strange under the rendering of the whole scarlet color.

The most terrifying thing is that this is a bloody starry sky.

A lady in a blood-red robe was casting her eyes upon them.

There was no emotion in that look.

But in the instant they were seen, the trembling in their bodies was magnified countless times.

Their bodies were covered with goose bumps and their numbing scalps made it almost impossible to think. They were so terrified that they couldn't even see the lady's face clearly and just crawled on the ground unconsciously.

"What on earth is this..."

"Such pressure... Is this... a god..."

"damn it……"

"Has the Shadow Land been breached?"

Although Dianhuo is powerful, her rank has not reached that of a demigod.

Therefore, there would not be many side effects if the demons looked directly at Him.

But the Scarlet True Ancestor is different. She is a true demigod and is not far from being a true god.

However, the sacrificial formation used by Li Cheng today is the most terrifying god-summoning formation in the blood clan's secret tradition.

It can be said that what he summoned today was not an ordinary projection of the Scarlet True Ancestor, but a projection with divinity.

In other words, judging from its appearance alone, it is not much inferior to the original body of the Scarlet True Ancestor.

The whimpering of the demons rose one after another, and the lady also walked down from the blood-red starry sky.

That’s right, not flying down, but walking down.

Her high heels stepped lightly into the void, creating ripples with every step.

Graceful like a cat.

And where else could she be heading except to the dining table where Li Cheng was?
She just stayed in front of Li Cheng, with confusion and surprise on her face.

Li Cheng also looked at her, slowly walked to the other side, and pulled out a chair for her gentlemanly: "Well, Lord Scarlet True Ancestor, thank you for coming."

Below the stage, Wu Likun and the chief guard, who noticed this scene, were completely stunned.

Isn't it Lord Dianhuo?

Not Mr. Madman!

This Outer God came here to have dinner with Seuss Dahl?!

All the demons knew what it meant for a demigod to accept an invitation from a mortal.

At this moment, it wasn't just Wu Likun and the chief guard.

All the demons felt that their worldviews were challenged.

They originally thought that Li Cheng's association with Lord Dianhuo was already his limit.

But I didn't expect that he would actually be associated with a god!

Although he is an outer god, he is also a real god!
The most terrifying thing is that Hughes Dal had the audacity to invite such a god to be his guest on the night before his wedding with Dianhuo.

What are you doing?
The ultimate singles night plan?

Others' singles nights would at most be spent at a bar, but you...

You actually...

We need the gods!
At this moment, Wu Likun no longer knew what expression to use to look at Li Cheng.

He suddenly realized that all the progressive methods he had been thinking about had become obsolete.

Is it useful to lick your leader or boss?
it works.

But compared to Hugh Dahl, it's useless!

The real god of progress should be a genius like Mr. Hughes Dahl who can be with two ladies at the same time!

Idol, this is a real idol.

Tears of envy flowed from the corners of his eyes.

However, the chief guard had a different opinion from Wu Likun.

He lay on the ground, glancing at Li Cheng and the Scarlet True Ancestor with his peripheral vision.

The oppression of the gods made his soul tremble, but at the same time, another idea emerged in his mind.

Is it really Hughes Dahl who is hooking up with Lord Dianhuo?

If that was true, how could he dare to go on a date with other gods behind Lord Dianhuo's back?
As a mortal, is he really not afraid of being burned to ashes by flames?

He recalled the murderous aura he felt from Lord Zeus when he first met him, which could only be produced by slaughtering countless lives.

Looking at him now, smiling elegantly and inviting the gods to dinner, a thought that frightened him even more and made him afraid to face it came to his mind.

It's not that Lord Hughes is with Lord Dianhuo,
Instead, it was Lord Dianhuo who got close to Lord Xius.

This gentleman has actually been hiding his strength.

He is a god who plays with the human world. Whether it is Dianhuo or the foreign god in front of him, they are actually his playthings.

He is...

The one with the highest status in this shadowy land.

If that were the case, everything would be explained.

Lord Zeus wanted to date this god, but Lord Dianhuo didn't even dare to fart and left here in disgrace, leaving the two of them empty-handed.

The same goes for the Outer God. Once Lord Xius calls her, she must come immediately and cannot be negligent in the slightest.

As soon as this idea came into his mind, it was imprinted in his mind and could never be erased.

At the same time, his gaze towards Li Cheng became filled with admiration.

That is not the reverence one would show towards a great man, but the piety one would show towards a god.

And, fear, from the deepest part of the soul, which cannot be described in words,
fear.

He stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Likun beside him: "Brother Kun, kneel down and don't look up."

"You, what's wrong with you?" Wu Likun was puzzled.

"Kneel down, that's all." The chief guard was trembling all over, as if saying these few words had used up all his strength.

"Um, okay..." Wu Likun didn't dare to ask any more questions and also crawled on the ground.

the other side,
The Scarlet True Ancestor has already taken his seat.

"Lord True Ancestor, you are more elegant and beautiful today than usual." Li Cheng shook the decanter and poured the blood-red wine into the goblet.

He was not flattering, but praising sincerely.

Today's Scarlet True Ancestor is very beautiful.

To put it in the words of mobile game players, the Crimson True Ancestor has changed into a limited skin.

She was wearing a blood-red dress that was tailored perfectly to her body shape. It fit her slender figure perfectly without being overly astringent, but instead had an elegant contrast.

A pair of black lace sleeves were worn on a pair of beautiful white arms without any bloodshot, and under the slit hem of the dress was a pair of stockings made of the same material.

Her long legs looked so alluring against the red dress and black stockings, not to mention her juicy toes in her high heels.

The face located on top of such an elegant and charming body is also more solemn than usual.

The facial features that were 70% similar to Tata's were obviously carefully dressed up. Outside the ruby-like eyes, there was black half-eyeliner and earth-colored eyeshadow. The bridge of the nose was specially highlighted and shadowed to make it look more three-dimensional. The cute canine teeth were exposed outside the vermilion lips.

There was none of her usual debauchery and playfulness, but instead she was extremely dignified.

With Li Cheng's experience in studying acting, he could tell at a glance that this guy had put a lot of thought into his outfit.

But this is just a game. I had just sent out the invitation and this guy had already transformed himself.

If it were put into the real world, it would take more than ten hours to achieve such a look.

Li Cheng was very satisfied that the Scarlet True Ancestor took so much trouble to have dinner with him.

But Li Cheng was very unhappy that she took so much trouble to have dinner with him.

No, you are my mother-in-law, why are you dressing up so beautifully?
You are not thinking of Master Niutata, are you?
Really down!
The Scarlet True Ancestor looked at Li Cheng with big eyes and great confusion.

That's right, she did dress up specially today. It took her nearly twenty hours to put together this outfit.

I'm almost dying of exhaustion.

As for why she changed into a good-looking person the moment she was summoned.

It's because she has a relic called the Time Stopping Dressing Room. Whenever she puts on makeup in it, the flow of time will be different from that outside.

As for why she had to put on such solemn and formal makeup, carefully choose the dress she was wearing, and even her underwear was carefully selected.

Of course it wasn't because she wanted to show off her stupid offspring, but because when she was summoned, she sensed a breath that shouldn't exist.

That's a feeling.

A feeling that she was born because of that breath.

It feels like the origin of all vampires.

At that moment, the Scarlet True Ancestor trembled.

Before her, there were seven true ancestors of the vampire race who broke free from the shackles of mortals and became true gods.

Those true ancestors have already ascended and left this dimension, and can no longer be contacted.

Among these ancestors, the Scarlet True Ancestor had seen the sixth and seventh, but she had no chance to meet the others.

But she knew very well that the blood clan was originated from the first true ancestor who had gone to another dimension.

In other words, this is who summoned her.

It is very likely that it is the First True Ancestor.

That's why she was dressed so formally and applied so much makeup, not even using her usual larger-than-the-world form to descend.

You know, the Scarlet True Ancestor likes to descend in that state the most.

After all, from that perspective, the person who summoned her could only see the part above her neck.

So, she doesn't have to dress up or wear shoes.

You don't even have to wear pants.

It was so easy.

It’s not like now, where you spend twenty hours getting dressed and only go out for a few minutes.

If the Scarlet True Ancestor had not felt that it was too inappropriate for his head to be bigger than his ancestor's body when meeting him, he would have definitely descended in that posture.

At the same time, she was also very confused and very curious.

All the True Ancestors who went to another dimension never came back.

Therefore, the Scarlet True Ancestor really wanted to know what kind of world the other dimension, the dimension where the True God existed, was.

And why would the origin of all vampires, the first true ancestor, return to this world?

Could it be that something happened in the world where that god exists?
With such doubts, she responded to the call.

And then……

She saw Li Cheng.

To be honest, the moment he saw Li Cheng, the Scarlet True Ancestor collapsed.

Her first reaction was that her curiosity about the world where the gods lived had affected her judgment and led to problems with her perception.

She laughed at herself, sat down, prepared to say a few opening remarks, then finish her dinner and go back to remove her makeup.

But after sitting like this for a while, the Scarlet True Ancestor felt something was wrong.

The root aura coming from Li Cheng not only showed no sign of weakening, but became stronger and stronger.

Staying beside him, the Scarlet True Ancestor not only felt that he was very fragrant, but also felt a sense of nervousness in front of a superior.

That’s right, a demigod actually felt nervous when facing a third-level magician.

The Scarlet True Ancestor really couldn't hold it anymore.

She didn't even dare to look directly into Li Cheng's eyes. She could only steal a glance at him from time to time to use her perception.

At the same time, the doubts in my heart grew.

Could this Li Cheng really be his ancestor?
Is this...impossible?
Moreover, if he was really his ancestor, why didn't he tell him?

This doesn’t make sense either.

And Li Cheng couldn't hold it anymore.

This was the most embarrassing moment since he summoned the Crimson True Ancestor.

It would be ok for this mother-in-law to wear such solemn makeup.

I don't know what's going on, but ever since I came here, he has been stealing glances at me like a girl in love.

I blush from time to time...

No, you're blushing like a bubble teapot.

In your eyes, shouldn't I be the boyfriend of your descendants, an important person who is responsible for the prosperity of the blood clan and makes the blood clan greater?
What are you doing now?
Do you want to bully your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter?
You are despicable!
Even if you want to show off her, you'd better wait until I learn all of her abstract magic!

At that time, I just reluctantly didn't resist.

At worst, I would be killed by the dog that came down from the *.

"Um, True Ancestor." "Um, Li Cheng."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and stopped at the same time.

Li Cheng and the Scarlet True Ancestor looked at each other, both feeling inexplicably awkward.

In the end, it was Li Cheng who broke the silence first:
"Well, Master True Ancestor, it's time to eat. Are you satisfied with the dinner I prepared for you?"

"Hmm..." The Crimson True Ancestor looked at the demons crawling at the bottom of the stairs and said leisurely, "There are nearly four thousand demons. Hmm, the lowest one is level five. Haha, I have to say, I am very satisfied."

"I'm glad you're satisfied. Shall we eat now?"

"Well... before that..."

The Scarlet True Ancestor thought about it and decided to find out what had happened and what kind of magic Li Cheng had used to affect him.

Or is there something in this place that is affecting my judgment?

This is very important to the Scarlet True Ancestor.

She was worried that some hostile demigod was trying to destroy her chances of becoming a god.

As for the fact that Li Cheng was his ancestor...

Oh, that's absolutely impossible.

So, the Scarlet True Ancestor suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Cheng's arm.

[Conceptual Skills: Peeping into Destiny and Origin]

[A conceptual ability that can seek the origin of life. When using it, you need to pay the price of your life span.]

The next moment, a storm surged in her mind.

A huge scarlet dragon soaring under the blood moon opened its vertical pupils at her.

Those were a pair of blood-red eyes that carried infinite oppression and horror.

That is the eye of origin of all vampires.

At that moment,

The Crimson True Ancestor's soul trembled.

Her mind was numb.

Her existence was disturbed.

Her mouth opened tremblingly:

"It's...it's really..."

"you."
