Gjestastav paused, puzzled and said, "Is this matter important?"
"Yes," Wu Xiaode said.
"You want me not to eat humans anymore?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel fire.net
The cold beauty showed a look of confusion and hesitated, "But this act of eating humans is really too trivial to mention. You specifically discussing this with me, is it because the Human Race is about to have someone extraordinary emerge? Will they come to seek revenge on me?"
"That’s not it. You can consider this as a request from me, rather than thinking it has anything to do with humans," Wu Xiaode said.
Gjestastav pondered for a moment then spoke:
"I actually don’t like eating humans... but there is simply no other food in the sin prison, only the living beings thrown in from the outside world."
She glanced at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man seemed a bit emotional as well, shaking his head and said, "Yes, for so many years, we’ve had nothing, yet we’ve survived in this barren sin prison, reliant entirely on the infighting among the living beings—"
Gjestastav continued, "They throw their own kind in to imprison them, which has helped us obtain some source of food. Although we don’t like it, we have to do it to survive."
"So, you are quite miserable as well?" Wu Xiaode asked.
The middle-aged man looked outside and said, "Enchanting Demons need to eat high-purity gemstones, Fallen Angels need gold to replenish their energy, and that invisible puppet demon likes to eat a type of plant from the Shadow World—being such High-level Demon God Level beings, eating humans is truly a last resort,"
"What about now?" Wu Xiaode asked.
The middle-aged man took out a box of ice cream and silently started eating it.
This ice cream seemed different from usual; as soon as it was taken out, it turned the entire sofa to a frosty white.
Yet, the middle-aged man displayed a face of contentment, shaking his head as he ate, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Gjestastav thought for a while then said, "Since we can now earn enough money to procure resources for raising our children from outside the sin prison, I promise you, I will no longer eat humans."
"Good," Wu Xiaode nodded slightly.
But the matter was not yet finished—
"Gjestastav, since you agreed to my request, now I have a very important task for you to handle," he said.
"What task?" Gjestastav asked.
Wu Xiaode said, "Take your offspring and move out of the Dark Palace, live outside of Parallel World 1666 for one day."
"I know there is a Black Dragon challenging me, are you suggesting that I give up my position?" Gjestastav calmly said.
"Yes, you need to give it up—if you believe in the promise I just made, leave now and come back this time tomorrow," Wu Xiaode said.
"If I come back... will there be a place for me?"
"Are you serious?" Gjestastav said softly.
Wu Xiaode leaned back on the sofa motionless.
A long sword quietly emerged behind him, shimmering slightly—
Endless Sword Qi burst forth, forming a dark and deep sword shadow that seemed ready to strike at any moment.
The Book of the Dead displayed several lines of ice crystal letters:
"You have accumulated the ’Long Moon Sparse Shadow’ sword style."
"This sword style can be infused with unlimited Soul Power."
"You have accumulated 30 million Soul Power in this sword style, before releasing this sword, if you want to maintain its power, it will consume 3000 Soul Power every second."
A pang of regret struck Wu Xiaode, but seeing the fear and awe on Gjestastav’s face, he felt it was worth the expense.
He casually waved his hand.
The Chi Xiao Sword along with all the Sword Intent vanished instantly, as if it had never been there.
For a moment, there was silence.
The middle-aged man thought of something, with a subtle and imperceptible movement, he slightly shifted his posture.
Ah, such an annoying memory!
The middle-aged man thought silently.
"I pledge with my sword, when you return, there will be a place for you," Wu Xiaode said.
Gjestastav lowered her eyes and said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, I’ll take the children and leave now."
"Do you have a place to stay?" Wu Xiaode asked again.
"We can’t leave the sin prison; we can only find a ruined world or hide in the Void, waiting for a day to pass," Gjestastav said.
Wu Xiaode looked towards the middle-aged man, who also looked back at that moment.
"Hmm... I remember there is a Void to the southeast, the parallel world there has been destroyed for a few years, and it’s been rather safe; you can go there," the middle-aged man said.
He slowly took out a parchment from his bosom and tossed it to Gjestastav.
"Just in case there’s danger, here is one of my attack spells," the middle-aged man said.
"Thank you, boss," Gjestastav said.
"Don’t mention it," the middle-aged man frowned and said, "be careful yourself, things have been unstable lately, danger is everywhere."
Gjestastav silently nodded.
A thought suddenly occurred to Wu Xiaode’s mind.
Watching the conversation between the middle-aged man and Gjestastav, it seemed completely different from Parallel World 5432.
In the Demon God’s palace of Parallel World 5432, the Black Dragon had merely gone to report something to the middle-aged man, and he had demanded several Dragon Eggs as food in return.
Compared to Parallel World 1666, the middle-aged man was protecting her instead.
Wu Xiaode noted this fact, turning to Gjestastav and said:
