After the True Heiress Travels Back

Chapter 1006: Admit Defeat When It’s Time to Admit Defeat

The Son of Gods and Demons suddenly had his neck of fate pinched, feeling extremely conflicted.He was no longer as proud as he used to be.

This was evident in the way he dared not raise his voice at Chen Shu anymore.

But even if he was cowed,

he would not admit he was cowed.

When asked, he’d deny it.

Forced to admit it? Never.

"I’m not scared of her!" The Son of Gods and Demons said to Chen Shu. "I don’t believe a word she says. How could anyone possibly devour my power? My power is unique!"

Chen Shu couldn’t be bothered to pay him any mind, yet he kept on bragging, determined to show Chen Shu how impressive he was.

But it made no difference.

Because...

Shi Yaoguang spoke up.

"Speaking of which, Chen Shu, you might be able to devour his power too."

The Son of Gods and Demons: "!!"

He was stunned.

He never expected he hadn’t yet turned Chen Shu against her.

And already Chen Shu was being eyed by others.

He hurriedly wanted to warn Chen Shu not to fall for it lightly when he heard Chen Shu ask, "Sis-in-law, what do you mean by devouring power? How did you manage it?"

"It’s not me who devoured it."

Shi Yaoguang said, "Didn’t I go to the Parallel World with Quan Jinbei earlier? In that world, I met someone who also had the power of the Son of Gods and Demons."

"The Parallel World is The Last Law World, those people over there cannot cultivate, so Quan Jinbei tried to extract his power."

Chen Shu added the final line, "Did Brother Bei devour the extracted power?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Chen Shu’s emotions were a bit complex.

Because...

The previous experiences of the evil demon Wo Hezhe were too similar to this.

Thinking back to that time.

Wasn’t Wo Hezhe the same?

From a super powerful evil demon.

To a mere snack reserve.

Now that Quan Jinbei can devour the energy of the Son of Gods and Demons, then...

The situation for the Son of Gods and Demons, can it still be good?

It certainly cannot.

Thinking of this.

Chen Shu felt a bit sorry for the Son of Gods and Demons.

Sigh.

Could’ve been a free man.

Insisted on usurping others’ bodies.

Now even has to pay a painful price for it.

Just thinking about it makes one feel sorry.

Sigh.

Although Chen Shu thought this way, whether he really felt sorry in his heart was truly uncertain.

The Son of Gods and Demons didn’t care whether Chen Shu felt sorry for him or not.

He consistently felt sorry for himself.

Back then, knowing his Left Protector the Giant Python Demon King had been killed, he even thought about avenging his subordinate.

Now it’s good.

Failed to avenge, instead implicated Chen Zan.

Though...

His desire to avenge his subordinate was merely talk.

He had no real intention to act.

But!

He still felt uncomfortable.

The Heavenly Dao has good cycles, and now the miserable one became him.

No matter what, he couldn’t just stand here and wait to die.

Thinking it over.

He made a decision!

"Chen Shu, I know you want to live. As long as you agree to cooperate with me, I can give you anything!"

"Including your life?" Chen Shu asked.

The Son of Gods and Demons: "Can you speak a bit more realistically?"

Chen Shu innocently replied, "The problem comes from you."

"You want me to make practical demands, but...your problem itself isn’t practical."

Chen Shu wasn’t stupid. How could he possibly act as if nothing happened after the Son of Gods and Demons did such outrageous deeds to him?

Not even to conspire with him.

Click.

Not even in dreams would it be so grand.

After confirming Chen Shu’s attitude, the Son of Gods and Demons could only give up trying to persuade him.

Turning, he wanted to confront Shi Yaoguang.

"Chen Shu, help me speak with Shi Yaoguang."

Chen Shu ignored him.

The Son of Gods and Demons threatened, "If you don’t help me, I’ll go down together with you!"

Chen Shu was indifferent, "I’d love to see how you plan to go down together with me."

The Son of Gods and Demons: "..."

Alright, alright.

He admitted it.

Going down together was impossible.

How could they go down together?

He cherished his current life too much.

Living under another’s roof, the Son of Gods and Demons had to retreat a step and speak.

When it’s time to be cowed, you must be.

"Chen Shu, earlier, I was immature. Don’t be petty with me, I’m sincerely asking for your help. As long as you’re willing to help me, no matter the price..."

Chen Shu hummed, and only then did he graciously speak, "Since you’re begging me like this, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The Son of Gods and Demons secretly resented Chen Shu for being ungrateful, but didn’t dare show it on his face.

"I, I want you to help me negotiate cooperation with Miss Shi."

Click.

It must be said, the Son of Gods and Demons was quite self-aware.

Knew what attitude to have when.

If he dared be arrogant now, Chen Shu surely wouldn’t tolerate him.

As for seeking peace...

That’s just temporary.

Earlier, he hadn’t thought it through.

Even if Shi Yaoguang truly is the Revered God, so what?

Shi Yaoguang is the Revered God.

He might not necessarily be weaker than the Revered God.

Thinking this, he couldn’t show it.

He definitely had to strike a killer blow.

Shi Yaoguang looked at Chen Shu’s hesitating expression and proactively asked, "What’s up?"

Chen Shu explained the Son of Gods and Demons’ desire to make peace, and expressed his own view, "I suspect the Son of Gods and Demons has ill intentions, Sis-in-law, don’t fall for it easily."

"How does he want to make peace?" Shi Yaoguang smirked, "Making peace isn’t just talk."

"At least let me see some sincerity."

Chen Shu immediately asked the Son of Gods and Demons’ opinion.

The Son of Gods and Demons seemed genuinely wanting to cooperate, and immediately offered his biggest benefit.

"My true form isn’t in this world. If you’re willing, I can give you..."

The Son of Gods and Demons seemed desperate, revealing all his cards.

"As long as you agree to let me go, I’ll expeditiously gift you all the things I previously gathered."

"Really?" Chen Shu was skeptical.

Shi Yaoguang had the same suspicion, "You sure you’re not lying?"

"Of course not!" The Son of Gods and Demons swore, "I guarantee with my character, I’m absolutely not lying."

"Alright then." Shi Yaoguang nodded, "We cooperate."

"Great!" The Son of Gods and Demons breathed a sigh of relief, while secretly planning to take Shi Yaoguang back to his territory afterward.

How things would develop wasn’t for Shi Yaoguang to decide.

By then...

He’d show Shi Yaoguang what regret means!

Unbeknownst to him, Shi Yaoguang’s intention was to raid.

Indeed, the Son of Gods and Demons’ lair was under his control.

Yet...

Power is the real deal.

Without enough power, anything said is empty.

The Son of Gods and Demons, via Chen Shu, reached a temporary cooperation agreement with Shi Yaoguang.

Basically, it meant Shi Yaoguang and Chen Shu wouldn’t be overly harsh on him; he’d offer them good stuff from his lair.

Once the deal was confirmed.

Quan Jinbei finished his seclusion, learned of their deal, and showed a meaningful expression...
