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

#483 - Chapter 482 Heavy Conversation

Li Chenqiu was slightly stunned, not giving an immediate answer.

The corners of the Northern Yin Emperor's mouth turned up: "Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong, are you afraid that I'll take your things and not return them to you?"

"It's not like that, it's not that I don't trust you, Your Majesty, it's just that these Xuan artifacts that would expose my identity have already been disposed of by me and are not on my person now," Li Chenqiu hurriedly shook his head in denial.

The reason he said this was not because he didn't trust the Northern Yin Emperor's character, but because he didn't want to hand over all his secrets to the Underworld, especially at this critical juncture.

Otherwise, if he wanted to do anything, he would have to consider the existence of the Underworld and be restrained by it, which would be extremely inconvenient.

The Northern Yin Emperor raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

Li Chenqiu replied with a sincere look: "Naturally, it's true."

The Northern Yin Emperor leaned back, lazily resting on the sofa: "Then... smile."

"Ah?" Li Chenqiu was a little confused, but he understood the other party's intention in an instant, and grinned, revealing a very natural and bright smile.

Breaking through to the ninth restriction, coupled with devouring a trace of Fu Yuesheng's soul, had already allowed him to control the Shadow Locust Body very well. With the main body fully focused, there was no problem in substituting all consciousness into the Shadow Locust Body.

The Northern Yin Emperor's gaze slightly condensed, staring at Li Chenqiu's smile for a while, the suspicion in his eyes gradually dissipating: "Since you've already dealt with it, then I won't ask any more questions."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

The Northern Yin Emperor continued: "Presumably, you know about what happened in the Northern Federation recently!"

A layer of haze floated between Li Chenqiu's eyebrows, and he nodded: "I know everything clearly. Whether it's the life detection device, or the matter of my boss and my second brother, I understand it all."

The Northern Yin Emperor reached out and put his hand on Li Chenqiu's shoulder: "I'm sorry, things happened suddenly. By the time the Underworld and the Ying Clan knew about the life detection device, it was already too late."

Li Chenqiu crossed his hands and slowly lowered his head: "I understand."

The Northern Yin Emperor withdrew his hand and asked: "How much did you know about the two of them before this happened?"

Li Chenqiu smiled bitterly: "I... I didn't know much. I always thought they were very weak Resurrected Ones. I suspected that they were hiding something from me, but I didn't ask, after all, everyone has secrets."

The Northern Yin Emperor added: "Everyone has their own difficulties."

"Yes... difficulties." Li Chenqiu raised his head, looking straight at the Northern Yin Emperor: "Your Majesty, can you save my boss?"

The Northern Yin Emperor picked up the hot water he had poured earlier and took a small sip.

"My boss is a twelfth restriction Resurrected One. I can persuade him to join the Underworld and work for the Underworld!" Li Chenqiu's voice was urgent.

The Northern Yin Emperor put down his water cup and replied faintly: "Your boss has a special identity. He is not only a direct descendant of the Li Clan, but also the fourth Director of the Anbu Division. Even if he becomes a Resurrected One, it won't be so easy for him to die.

The Li Clan will definitely do everything to protect him, as will his former subordinates, and those who have received his favor, so you don't need to worry too much about his safety."

"What if they can't protect my boss?" Li Chenqiu's tone was undisguised worry.

The Northern Yin Emperor turned his head and slightly parted his lips: "You are a member of the Underworld. If someone you value has an accident, the Underworld naturally can't sit idly by."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A smile bloomed on Li Chenqiu's face, and he hurriedly nodded his thanks.

"Don't be happy too soon. This matter is not as simple as you think. The Underworld cannot directly intervene to snatch people. It can only try to operate in the dark to see if it can save your boss.

There is a chance of success, but it is not very high. The Underworld can only do its best. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the timing, the location, and the people. It can only be said that we will do our best and leave the rest to fate, do you understand?"

Li Chenqiu replied: "I understand, then Your Majesty, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Stay here obediently and don't cause any trouble. I will let the Ying Clan think of a way to help you clear your own suspicions."

Saying that, the Northern Yin Emperor slowly stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Li Chenqiu also hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't quite understand, how did you know that the life detection device wouldn't work on me?"

The Northern Yin Emperor explained: "After the life detection device was pushed to the forefront by the Zhou Clan, the Ying Clan's researchers disassembled and analyzed it, and reverse-engineered the basic operating principle of the life detection device.

That set of detection methods only applies to ordinary Resurrected Ones. Resurrected Ones like you who can delay aging without eating people cannot be detected."

A look of understanding flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes: "I see."

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No, Your Majesty, take care."

"Okay."

Space rippled, and the Northern Yin Emperor stepped into it and disappeared into the room.

After he left, Li Chenqiu sat back on the sofa, a faint glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

...

Inside a luxurious room, Xiang Nanzhi lowered her head, hugged her arms around her chest, and paced back and forth in the living room worriedly, as if waiting for something.

Buzz buzz—

Just then, the space in front of her wriggled slightly, and the Northern Yin Emperor dressed as a scholar walked out of it. Xiang Nanzhi couldn't dodge in time and bumped straight into him.

Bang!

"Ouch!"

Staggering back several steps, Xiang Nanzhi rubbed her forehead and looked forward, meeting the Northern Yin Emperor's gaze.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back, sit down, sit down quickly, I've already fried the starch sausages for you." Xiang Nanzhi greeted him with a smile, gesturing to the starch sausages placed on the table.

"From now on, you must use your eyes to watch the road when walking."

The Northern Yin Emperor rubbed his bumped nose, came to the sofa and sat down, picking up a starch sausage and eating it with relish.

"I will definitely watch the road next time!" Xiang Nanzhi stood aside, bending over and asking: "Your Majesty, have you finished explaining everything to him?"

"Yes, during this period, don't go back to the Zhaixing Academy for the time being. After the Ying Clan has settled everything and Li Chenqiu's innocence is restored, you can go back with him, understand?" The Northern Yin Emperor said while eating.

"Understood clearly!" Xiang Nanzhi made an "OK" gesture.

The Northern Yin Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Xiang Nanzhi leaned forward: "Your Majesty, how does the Underworld plan to rescue Li Ji? Is there anything I need to help with?"

A look of surprise appeared on the Northern Yin Emperor's handsome face, and he raised his head slightly: "Rescue Li Ji? Who told you this news?"

Xiang Nanzhi smiled smugly: "Do I need someone else to tell me this? You said you wanted to talk to Li Chenqiu, so I guessed that the matter you were going to discuss was Li Ji!"

The Northern Yin Emperor smiled with considerable surprise: "Your little head is turning quite fast!"
