Chapter 558: Chapter 441: Sorry, Master

"Won’t you save me for once?"

Wu Xiaode made a casual joke, yet he actually turned to look into the bar, paying attention to the movement inside.

Shen Xiujun didn’t even look back.

With a raspy voice, she said,

"I didn’t expect this to happen either; it seems we need to turn back time once more."

——This was the Parasite of the Time Corpse.

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but feel curious.

The Double Demons didn’t even bother to pay attention to him, a mere passerby who had returned, nor the newly appeared girl.

What exactly had happened?

He followed Shen Xiujun’s gaze to Zhao Junyu.

He saw Zhao Junyu sitting at the bar, a faint smile on his face, appearing utterly relaxed.

"Xiujun, come, have some cake."

He picked up the cake and was about to feed it to Shen Xiujun.

Wu Xiaode’s heart sank.

Oh no.

Had Zhao Junyu been enchanted by Shen Xiujun?

Wu Xiaode immediately planned to end Evernight City’s "replacement" to take over himself.

But just then, he realized that something was off.

Zhao Junyu seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were filled with indifference, as if he had no emotions whatsoever.

Wu Xiaode paused and looked at Shen Xiujun.

Shen Xiujun had just turned her face toward him and murmured,

"Brother Wu, how come you are getting stranger to me?"

Although she spoke coquettishly, Wu Xiaode, after numerous exchanges with her, distinctly sensed a certain disappointment and defeat.

——What’s going on?

Wu Xiaode wondered, once again glancing at Zhao Junyu.

Zhao Junyu’s face wore a friendly smile, but it seemed emotionless.

Two lines of ice crystal text emerged in the Void:

"Your ’replacement,’ Zhao Junyu, has gone through seven consecutive ’Awakenings’ and has been turned back by an unauthorized version of the Time Skill. An anomaly has occurred."

"His ’Awakening’ is causing a High-level anomaly, increasingly beyond control."

Wu Xiaode exhaled a long sigh.

You’ve worked hard, Jun Yu.

But you have also gained a benefit—

It’s said that High-level anomalies from ’Awakenings’ are incredibly rare.

Just like my own Awakening of the death talent, it’s considered globally unique.

This is also thanks to those two monsters; the Time Skill they used was extracted from the Flag of No Beginning with the parasitic method of the Feeding Demon Lord.

——How good can a bootleg be?

It’ll backfire someday.

As Wu Xiaode pondered this, the voice of the Flag of No Beginning suddenly resounded from behind:

"I have sensed the Parasite of the Time Corpse."

"The Time Barrier is about to unfold, pulling it into the barrier to completely eradicate the parasitic runes from its body, and to kill it and silence it."

"——Be careful!"

Before Wu Xiaode could react, he felt like something was missing from behind.

The Flag of No Beginning was gone!

Simultaneously, Shen Xiujun in the bar also shuddered, issuing a scream full of agony as if struck by electric shock.

She suddenly sat up straight, instinctively looking around and said in a low voice,

"Are you still there?"

There was no response.

Shen Xiujun stood up uneasily, her single hand forming a series of bizarre Handprints.

"Strange, I can’t find it at all."

A look of confusion crossed her face.

At that moment, Zhao Junyu, sitting opposite her, paused, then asked,

"Xiujun, who are you asking?"

Shen Xiujun came to her senses and managed a strained smile and said, "It’s nothing, Brother Wu."

She then turned to look at Xiao Baihong (Wu Xiaode) standing at the door and changed the subject, saying,

"Eh? Little Hong, you’re back so soon?"

Wu Xiaode took the opportunity to walk into the bar.

——He reached back and grabbed the white-haired, blood-eyed girl, pulling her into the bar.

"Come, meet a few friends."

Wu Xiaode smiled warmly.

The white-haired, blood-eyed girl wore a look of terror, shaking all over, no longer as arrogant as before.

Several lines of ice crystal text quietly emerged between them:

"She must save your life."

"This is the effect of the overlay of the first and second Causality Laws."

"Both parties have agreed to this Causality Law and have begun to enforce it."

"——She must personally kill the Feeding Demon Lord."

"When she completes this task, she can eliminate the dual Causality Laws all at once and gain her freedom, and you will no longer be able to exert any influence over her."

"Until this task is completed, she must continue to serve as your servant."

"——From the rigorous arrangement of dual Causality Laws, any violation will incur even more serious backlash."

Even more serious backlash...

Wu Xiaode was actually quite interested to see what kind of backlash this being, born from the corpses of gods, would encounter.

After all, she was cunning, cruel, full of malice, and yet immensely powerful, second only to the Feeding Demon Lord.

Let her die.

In that instant.

The white-haired girl with blood-red eyes also sensed the power of the dual Causality Laws.

She jolted, quickly realizing the situation and timidly said,

"Yes, Master."

——There was no other way.

Not following him into the bar was tantamount to a servant disobeying the master’s command, directly violating the Causality Law.

Once the double Causality Law retaliated, she would never have a chance to turn things around.

The best course of action—

was to obey his command, to stay alive for the time being.

The girl was pulled into the bar by Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode swaggered over to Shen Xiujun, sat down in front of her, took a breath, and then said unhurriedly,

"I just remembered, I have connections with the local underworld here."

"So what?" Shen Xiujun asked.

"Getting sauce-flavored Baijiu, a single phone call is all it takes," Wu Xiaode said.

He picked up the phone and began to contact the local underworld.

Zhao Junyu glanced at him and went straight to the bar to pour him a glass of chilled beer.

—Xiao Baihong enjoyed drinking that.

Elder Xiao was running back and forth, probably trying to help with his businesses, sharing the burden with Shen Xiujun.

Sigh.

Elder Xiao certainly did not have it easy!

Zhao Junyu thought to himself silently.

He was not aware that the present Xiao Baihong was actually Wu Xiaode.

Shen Xiujun’s eyes swept over and immediately noticed a white-haired, red-eyed girl standing beside Xiao Baihong.

A mere mortal...

Incorrect!

Her gaze suddenly focused, fixating steadfastly on the girl.

"Interesting, it’s rare to see someone like you following around Little Hong. What’s your story?" Shen Xiujun asked with a hint of a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

The girl’s head was nearly drooping onto the surface of the bar, and she answered in a murmur like the faint buzzing of a mosquito:

"To reply to your excellency, he is my master, and I must obey him in all things,"

As she spoke, she shrank back behind Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode grabbed the girl and pulled her out, forcing her to stand in front of Shen Xiujun again, and chuckled,

"As my servant here said, she can take you down."

The air turned tense in an instant.

The smile on Shen Xiujun’s face gradually faded away completely.

"Take me down?"

She echoed.

Following that—

No one saw how she made her move, but a figure whizzed by—

The white-haired, red-eyed girl turned into a fading afterimage, crashing through the wall and tumbling out onto the street.

The girl was directly turned into a pool of flesh and blood.

In the bar.

Zhao Junyu looked at Xiao Baihong nervously.

Xiao Baihong—

Or rather, Wu Xiaode simply shook his head, indicating there was no need to act rashly.

"Hey, why did you kill her? She was a maid I had great difficulty finding," Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

"Little Hong, you know that I am one of the strongest in existence right now, don’t you?" Shen Xiujun said.

Wu Xiaode nodded.

Indeed, according to her background, she was indeed a powerful figure.

Shen Xiujun continued,

"This person is not human. She is a strange and forbidden existence. She didn’t come to us with good intentions!"

As if to validate her claim, she pointed a hand towards the street outside.

The mass of flesh continued to wriggle, showing no signs of dying just yet.

A glimpse of killing intent flashed in Shen Xiujun’s eyes and then disappeared, as she said jestingly,

"Even for me, it would take some effort to kill her."

She raised her hand once more—

"Wait a minute," Wu Xiaode interjected.

"Little Hong, do you also have sympathy for such an inhuman existence?" Shen Xiujun’s tone carried a trace of mockery.

Wu Xiaode looked at the continually writhing human-shaped mass of flesh on the street.

—To withstand a blow from the Feeding Demon Master and not die.

This level of strength, he could still make use of.

"It was all just a joke," Wu Xiaode said with a smile, "this servant of mine is very obedient and holds a special place in my heart. Let’s not kill her, shall we?"

"Hmm? Didn’t you fancy me, Little Hong? Why do you now fancy someone else?" Shen Xiujun teased.

"Ah, well, maybe I don’t fancy you that much," Wu Xiaode said.

"I see. When you poured me a drink just now, I thought you were going to join Brother Wu in pursuing me," Shen Xiujun said with a laugh, retracting her hand.

By admitting openly that he didn’t fancy her, it meant—

He wouldn’t be able to confuse the feelings between her and Wu Xiaode in the future.

It was a rather satisfying result.

Therefore.

To spare the peculiar existence born from the Divine Corpse, it wasn’t a big deal.

After all, she wasn’t even worthy of a blow from her hand.

Wu Xiaode lifted the chilled beer in front of him, took a sip, and then shouted towards the outside of the bar,

"Still alive? If you are, come back."

The lump of flesh gradually reshaped into the appearance of the girl.

She lay on the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, before she could barely stand up.

The girl was battered and bruised, but bound by the Magic of Causality, she had no choice but to stagger back.

"My servant, are you alright?" Wu Xiaode asked softly.

The girl’s legs gave out, and she knelt on the ground, her face covered in cold sweat, her eyes filled with a plea for mercy.

"I’m sorry, master. I will never dare to defy any of your commands again."
