#368 - Chapter 368: Deceiving God
“You…”
“Are you still angry?”
Looking at Wu Wei beside her, Su Yingxue smiled, reached out her hand, and touched Wu Wei's short black hair.
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry.”
“Wu Wei, although we didn’t kill him, we survived because of him and earned a lot!”
“A lot, a lot!”
It turned out that after Wu Wei glared at Liu Zixin again, Su Yingxue directly used her control in the domain to forcibly pull Wu Wei back.
However, Su Yingxue's insistence on saving Liu Zixin's life was reasonable.
Because she is different from Wu Wei.
She is truly profit-oriented!
Just like all “smart people”.
She knows how to define the value of people.
Su Yingxue insisted on protecting Liu Zixin for two reasons.
The first reason is that the Liu family behind Liu Zixin is indeed a huge trouble.
If they kill him casually and attract the Liu family's revenge.
Then, the Su family guild will really have no hope of becoming the Su family.
In other words, if Su Yingxue treats Liu Zixin as a handle, then the Su family guild's road to promotion will be much smoother.
As for the second reason…
After learning that Liu Zixin would become a "驸马(imperial son-in-law)", Su Yingxue immediately made the best judgment.
First, she vowed that she would conceal this news for Liu Zixin and keep it secret forever.
But such secrecy requires the other party and their family to pay the price.
In addition to paying Su Yingxue a huge hush money, the other party must also guarantee that they will use the Liu family's guild's influence to help the Su family guild advance into a true family!
Otherwise, Su Yingxue will definitely tell this secret to other families in exchange for the support of other families.
Don't underestimate such a seemingly insignificant marriage contract.
The marriage itself is not a big deal, but the power struggle hidden behind it is quite significant.
Because of this, Su Yingxue saved Liu Zixin's life.
Even though the other party was so rude and annoying before.
——————————
“No…”
“I’m just a little unhappy.”
“However, I will respect your choice.”
“After all, you are the one who defeated Liu Zixin, not me.”
“But in my opinion, since you have been defeated, you should be prepared to die.”
“No matter who he is or what his identity is!”
Hearing Wu Wei's radical remarks, Su Yingxue rubbed her forehead with some distress.
However, she could understand Wu Wei's thoughts.
After all, from the moment she met Wu Wei, he was not someone who would be bound by rules and regulations.
It is normal to have such thoughts.
Especially after the other party became a lord…
“Okay, let’s not talk about these things for now.”
“Wu Wei, I would like to thank you.”
Su Yingxue said with a smile.
“Thank me? Thank me for what?”
Hearing what she said, Wu Wei couldn't help but feel a little confused.
“Because thanks to you, I was able to complete my mission so quickly!”
Su Yingxue's eyes lit up and she continued.
“Originally, the purpose of my joining the War College was to obtain as much information as possible and to win over potential forces that could help the Su family guild.”
“Under this premise, I am both a spy and a warrior.”
“How should I put it, I originally planned to use more than a year to complete this task through my own strength.”
“But now… I have completed it ahead of schedule!”
“Hehe.”
Su Yingxue smiled mischievously.
“And it’s completed very well ahead of schedule.”
“The Liu family will help the Su family guild become a true family.”
“Moreover, just the first batch of hush money that the Liu family will give me will be 5 billion resource points.”
“This is just the first batch~, until Shi Yinuo completes the marriage, this transaction can bring me about 1 billion resource points every year.”
“How about it, my harvest is more than you shouting and killing for so long.”
“Do you want…”
Su Yingxue stretched out her hand and teased Wu Wei's chin.
“Call me, your sugar mommy, to take care of you~”
“No need!”
Wu Wei refused while gnashing his teeth, and at the same time hated why he didn't have Su Yingxue's “making money” thinking.
To be honest, there was a moment when Wu Wei had an idea.
But don't get me wrong.
The idea that Wu Wei had was definitely not the idea of being taken care of.
The idea he had was another kind:
The crazy him, just started to consider whether to kidnap the children of those powerful families, guilds and alliances, and then earn war funds by kidnapping them~
Cough cough.
All in all, the thinking of these two people is destined not to meet together.
But from the empire's point of view, this may be a good thing.
The human empire, having a madman is already a very dangerous thing…
————————
“Okay, let’s put these things aside for now.”
“Su Yingxue, I need to ask you a question.”
Wu Wei stood up and said to Su Yingxue.
“What question?”
“What price did you pay to obtain this domain?!”
Wu Wei pointed to the seven statues behind Su Yingxue.
From the moment Wu Wei entered the abyss and became the abyss lord, he had great hostility and hatred towards the so-called gods.
Because in his opinion, gods and other existences are very hypocritical and sanctimonious.
Although they will provide power, the price they demand is very high.
“Are you asking me what price I paid? About this question…”
Su Yingxue's eyes dimmed.
But soon, she raised her head and smiled at Wu Wei.
“Wait, are you concerned about me?”
“No, don’t misunderstand, I’m just curious.”
“Tsk.”
Finding Wu Wei so boring, Su Yingxue sorted out her hair and said casually.
“Actually, I didn’t pay too much of a price to get all of this.”
“How is that possible?”
Wu Wei frowned.
“Such a huge domain, and so many heroic spirits, how could you not pay a price?”
“Even those ordinary godsons are not as powerful as you.”
“And more importantly, what you obtained is not the blessing of one god.”
“But a full seven!”
“This level of divine grace cannot be obtained without paying an absolute price.”
“Su Yingxue, tell me the truth, what price did you pay to obtain these!”
“Pfft hahaha!”
Faced with Wu Wei's aggressive questioning, Su Yingxue couldn't help laughing.
“Do you really want to know?”
“Of course! Because this is very important!”
Faced with Wu Wei's words, Su Yingxue reluctantly whispered the secret of how she obtained these powers in Wu Wei's ear.
And when Wu Wei heard what she said, he also showed a rare look of surprise and fear.
“Are you… crazy?”
“You actually dare…”
“Deceive God?!”
“And deceive a full seven at the same time!”
————————————
It was not until this time that Wu Wei understood one thing.
That is, why Su Yingxue was able to become so strong in such a short period of time!
To some extent, Su Yingxue may be the real [genius]!
