RPAGF Chapter 146 Deception
Chapter 146 Deception
Qing Liye remained noncommittal, and after a brief silence, slowly spoke: "Speak, what do you need me to do?"
Since she hasn't been able to leave for so long, it can't be as simple as just finding a body. Otherwise, with her abilities, she could have easily obtained a new body while she was in control of this one.
"Your Excellency is straightforward and simple. I need a puppet that can take over my consciousness. As for the puppet, you don't need to worry about it. You just need to help me when I'm separated from her."
"Oh? How do you plan to make a move?"
At this point, Qing Liye finally showed a little interest.
"I've heard that the Venerable One's Soul-Severing Hand technique is incredibly skillful, capable of shattering a person's soul with a single strike..."
Qing Liye immediately understood her thoughts: "You want me to shake your consciousness out? But if that happens, your little sister will be gone."
"Little Grass" scoffed, its expression full of disdain: "Does Your Excellency think I would care?"
"...Moreover, what I need is not for the Lord to strike this body with the Soul-Severing Hand."
Qing Liye's interest grew even more: "Oh~ so it's hitting your puppet, that's interesting."
"I haven't wasted all these years. I've already investigated, and only this method can completely sever her body."
Liu Jun calmly took a bite of the fruit in his hand, waiting for him to fall into this trap.
Actually, she was already struggling with how to separate Xiaocao. She had a method, and she was even creating a puppet, but with Xiaocao's lowly status, she couldn't possibly come into contact with anyone above the Nascent Soul stage who had the means to separate souls. Besides, why would someone who was not related to her help her?
However, soul separation is extremely risky. If the other party has some ulterior motives and then backs out when it's time to do it, she can simply turn into a breeze. The appearance of Qing Liye can help her realize this plan.
As for Qing Liye, although he's a complicated person, he doesn't need to resort to any tricks when it comes to things that are insignificant to him.
However, Liu Jun still played a little trick. He was absolutely not allowed to touch the puppet's creation process, and he never revealed that he stayed by Xiao Cao's side in a soul state, only mentioning things like "subconscious" or "second personality".
"Heh, so that chance encounter during the day was also something you planned? You knew I would be interested in your affairs?"
Qing Liye's gaze seemed to change slightly as he looked at her; a faint, murderous glint flashed across his eyes.
What he hated most in his life was being plotted against.
"She was beaten half to death during the day, so I took her place. As for your appearance, Lord, I really didn't expect it," Liu Jun said frankly.
"Hmph, so... when I appeared, you suddenly decided to take advantage of me?"
"Little Grass" looked at him with a smile: "Yes and no. If I didn't have this ability, even if I recommended myself to the Lord, I wouldn't have this opportunity, would I?"
"Aside from your abilities, you certainly know how to talk a good game."
Qing Liye sat up straight and walked over to her. She didn't know if Xiaocao was too short or he was too tall, but she could only barely reach his shoulder.
Every time he approaches, the sense of oppression is terrifying. It seems that her puppet needs to be made taller, otherwise her aura will be much weaker every time she comes up.
Qing Liye was used to looking down on others, and this time was no exception.
However, the servant who was much shorter than him, even though he was looking up at him, did not seem inferior to him. Instead, he looked at him with the gaze of someone waiting for an exchange of benefits, neither friend nor foe.
Most people in the demon realm revere him and look up to him. He doesn't like this kind of looking up to him with equality. If he just reaches out and gently pinches someone, that person will die instantly, and such a gaze will cease to exist.
Was he truly delighted by her appearance, or was it just a spur-of-the-moment decision, or did he indulge her?
"Apart from my own bedroom, you can choose any of the other residences in the Qian Palace. I've given you the position of a second-class demon envoy, but that doesn't mean you're just sitting around doing nothing."
"Aside from the time spent making the puppet, I will send someone to help you familiarize yourself with the duties of a demon envoy as soon as possible. As for her, you can handle that yourself. Go down, someone will take you outside."
So, it's time to start working?
It's like turning into a working-class person in an instant.
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Liu Jun simply gave a brief bow and left the place without further ado.
Pshaw, there's no way I'll work. Once I leave this little grass and have a puppet body, I'll run away as fast as I can. What will I be left behind? (“▔□▔)
Someone did come to take her away, but she didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.
Liu Jun looked at Lu Xihan, who seemed to have been tamed and behaved well, and remained silent for two seconds.
No, it's only been a few days, and she's already become the "Head Palace Maid," even leading people around Qing Li Ye's Qian Palace?!
Was Qing Liye too confident, or was Lu Xihan's aura too great? Wasn't it supposed to be that even picking a flower would be questioned as a hidden weapon? How did Lu Xihan get such great power?
Or was Qing Liye doing it on purpose?
Hmm...you know what, it's actually quite possible.
Looking at Lu Xihan leading the way, Liu Jun decided to observe for a while before making a decision.
Let's forget about watching the show up close; she's barely managing to take care of herself right now, and she has many other problems that urgently need to be solved.
Under Lu Xihan's guidance, Liu Jun "laboriously" chose a place to stay that was furthest from Qingliye's sleeping quarters. Of course, no matter how far it was, it was still within the Qian Palace's boundaries. Besides, such a short distance could be reached with just a little spiritual energy or demonic energy and a sip of water, so it was of no use.
But at least it's not like I'm living next door to Qing Liye.
And his neighbor, of course, should be someone like Lu Xihan, right? (???)
Having your own separate place to live at least gives you a little bit of privacy. With privacy, things become much easier, and many actions can be taken.
Liu Jun first observed the layout of her room, noting down everything in order to prevent anything from being added or missing.
As for surveillance and spies, they definitely exist. Perhaps her every move is being monitored by that person.
After all, he had been the Demon Lord for over two thousand years. How could he possibly trust someone he didn't know and who exuded an eerie aura to stay around him?
Don't forget, he's a cunning and unpredictable psychopath. How could he so easily trust someone he's only met twice?
Liu Jun is currently using Xiao Cao's body. She is very weak, so weak that anyone could crush her. When someone is very weak, they need to rely on their brains to survive.
The first step is to get close to Qing Liye. The second step is to make him think she is useful so that he won't want to kill her easily. This will keep his interest alive for a while, at least enough time for her to create a puppet body.
Liu Jun searched the room for a while, but couldn't find what she needed.
The demon realm rarely uses paper talismans or similar items. They usually rely on objects and tokens as mediums to transmit messages. They do have writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, but they are rare and rarely used. This room has none of them.
The immediate problem is how to explain all this to Xiaocao—how did she end up here, and how did she become a demon envoy?
Qing Liye is currently in a state of letting her observe him. He also said that she has to solve the problem of Xiaocao herself, and he can't count on her. Moreover, she can't just swagger out of the Demon King's Palace right now.
She had only just been impressed by the Demon Lord when she immediately tried to leave the palace. Wasn't that just blatantly telling him that she was hiding something? That guy was Qing Liye, after all, and he was incredibly cunning. What was the difference between her and jumping around in a minefield?
Liu Jun circled the house again, but still found nothing. She had a premonition that her time was running out. The time she could possess someone this time was already her limit. It was mainly because she had been stunned for so long that she could only do this.
Liu Jun lifted a piece of his robe, looked at it for a few moments, remained silent for a while, and then tore off a piece.
"Trying to force me to use force, huh...?"
Let's just make do with this piece of fabric that's been torn into a rather irregular shape.
As for how to write it, there are several potted plants in the house, so you can just pick one and use its juice to write about it.
