Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#280 - Chapter 279 Kowtow

Ji Mu was standing with his back to the window, his entire face hidden in darkness: "Now that the small talk is over, let's get down to business."

Li Chenqiu took a few steps back: "Are you going to kill me now?"

Ji Mu slowly clenched his fingers, his expression becoming even colder: "It is not the fault of the common man to possess a treasure."

Whoosh—

Ji Mu disappeared from the spot as if his movements were being skipped like frames in a film.

Before Li Chenqiu could react, a dark hand stretched out from the darkness, grabbing towards his head.

Clang!

Whoosh—

The sound of shattering glass and the howling wind rang out simultaneously, and a fair, slender hand suddenly appeared before Li Chenqiu, tightly gripping Ji Mu's wrist.

Li Chenqiu quickly retreated, his eyes fixed on Ji Mu, his belated sixth sense turned into a needle, stimulating his nerves.

At this moment, Li Chenqiu understood what Xiang Nanzhi meant by "powerful," it was an existence that could completely crush him, so powerful that it could be faster than his sixth sense.

Under the moonlight, Xiang Nanzhi and Ji Mu were locked in a stalemate, their arms trembling slightly, neither yielding an inch. Clearly, Xiang Nanzhi and Ji Mu were evenly matched.

Li Chenqiu keenly noticed that Xiang Nanzhi's expression was obviously strained, while Ji Mu seemed very relaxed.

"Xiang Nanzhi?" Ji Mu looked at Xiang Nanzhi with a slight surprise: "I didn't expect there to be another of the Ten Prohibitions in this prison besides me."

Xiang Nanzhi looked at Ji Mu warily: "Hand over the Spiritual Xuan Artifact."

Ji Mu smiled and nodded: "Okay."

"Huh?" Xiang Nanzhi was a little confused.

He just said it casually, and he agreed?

Ji Mu explained: "If you want to take him away, I can't stop you. Even if I keep that Spiritual Xuan Artifact, what's the use? It's better to exchange it for something I want."

"Really?"

"Do I need to lie to you?"

After a few seconds of eye contact, they released their arms at the same time.

Ji Mu gestured to the sofa: "Please, have a seat!"

"Okay."

Xiang Nanzhi nodded and sat side by side with Li Chenqiu on the sofa, while Ji Mu sat alone opposite them.

Li Chenqiu asked: "What do you want?"

Ji Mu crossed his hands and said calmly: "I want to join the Underworld."

The air suddenly became extremely quiet.

Li Chenqiu was the first to react, pretending to be puzzled: "What Underworld?"

Ji Mu didn't answer Li Chenqiu, but turned to look at Xiang Nanzhi: "Isn't he one of your people?"

Xiang Nanzhi frowned: "Who exactly are you?"

Ji Mu shook his head with some disappointment: "We've met before, Thousand Faces, just four years ago, have you forgotten?"

Hearing this, Xiang Nanzhi's pupils trembled slightly: "You…"

Ji Mu nodded and pointed to his face: "I gave it to you, have you forgotten?"

Xiang Nanzhi retorted: "How did you know I was Thousand Faces?"

"That was my former Xuan Artifact, it retains my aura. I can't detect it when you're hiding your strength, but if you don't hide it, the result is completely different. Plus, with the wind-type ability, I've already determined it's you."

Ji Mu took out a mobile phone from his pocket and pushed it in front of Xiang Nanzhi: "I know you can't make the decision on this matter, you can ask the person in charge, like your father."

Xiang Nanzhi picked up the phone on the table: "Li Chenqiu is one of our people, you understand the consequences of touching him!"

After saying that, Xiang Nanzhi got up and walked to the window, flying out of the office.

In the empty office, only Li Chenqiu and Ji Mu remained.

Just as Li Chenqiu was about to say something, Ji Mu suddenly stood up and, to Li Chenqiu's surprise, bent his back and lowered his head: "I'm very sorry."

Li Chenqiu: (⊙_⊙)?

Li Chenqiu looked dumbfounded: "Why are you…"

After apologizing, Ji Mu sat back down and explained: "I snatched your Spiritual Xuan Artifact, and just now I wanted to kill you, and now I'm using your Spiritual Xuan Artifact as a bargaining chip. To you, I must be a complete villain.

Even if I join the Underworld, you will still harbor resentment towards me. I don't want to see such a scene, so I want to apologize to you here. Of course, I know that just apologizing is not enough."

As he said that, Ji Mu took out a pen from his pocket, pulled out a tissue, wrote a string of numbers on it, and handed it to Li Chenqiu.

"If you need anything from me, you can contact me by phone, as many times as you need." Ji Mu showed a friendly smile, but what he considered friendly looked a bit sinister and terrifying to Li Chenqiu.

Li Chenqiu glanced at the phone number on the paper, raised his head and looked at Ji Mu in surprise, and said, "You are a resurrected member of the Ten Prohibitions. If I have something I want to ask you to help with, whether you accept it or not depends entirely on your personal wishes. If you refuse, what can I do?"

Ji Mu said calmly: "As long as it's not something too absurd, I won't refuse."

"Anyone can say that, if I ask you to kowtow to me now, you definitely won't kowtow, it's better to give something practical… Hey, wait a minute…"

Before Li Chenqiu could finish speaking, Ji Mu stood up directly, knelt down on the ground, and gave Li Chenqiu a solid kowtow.

At the same time, Xiang Nanzhi also flew back to the office, just in time to see this scene.

"Huh?"

Six crows flew over Xiang Nanzhi's head.

Xiang Nanzhi asked: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Ji Mu supported himself on the sofa to stand up, turned his head and looked at him: "Did they agree?"

Xiang Nanzhi walked forward and returned the phone to Ji Mu: "Um… agreed, someone will contact you then."

"Thank you." Ji Mu sincerely thanked him.

"By the way, you just now…" Xiang Nanzhi looked at Li Chenqiu, and then at Ji Mu.

Ji Mu said casually: "Li Chenqiu wanted me to kowtow to him."

"I…" The corner of Li Chenqiu's mouth twitched: "I just said it casually, I didn't want you to…"

Ji Mu reached out and interrupted Li Chenqiu: "Kowtowing is nothing, it's not a big deal, there's nothing to explain. If kowtowing can make you feel better, I can kowtow a few more times, you need me to…"

"No, I understand your sincerity." Li Chenqiu hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, for fear that Ji Mu would suddenly kowtow to him a few more times.

"Okay." Ji Mu nodded with a smile: "I'll put your Spiritual Xuan Artifact back where it should be later. I'll take care of these two corpses, you don't have to worry about them."

…

On the way back.

Li Chenqiu asked: "Who is that person, why is he so strange?"

Xiang Nanzhi was holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth: "That guy is a resurrected member of the Ten Prohibitions."

Li Chenqiu pursed his lips and looked at Xiang Nanzhi speechlessly: "Can you say something I don't know?"
