Never mind the won. Even so of the n who saw him felt their hearts flutter, finding him clean-cut and striking.
"Damn it!"
"I must have been single for too long..."
"Terrifying!"
Those farther away, not yet affected, were baffled. They saw the crowds of won on the street frantically chasing a single man and found it strange. Even if he were stunning enough to shock the United Nations, it didn't justify them losing their minds like this, did it?
So, however, were not surprised, remarking that fans of celebrities acted the sa way. This man was so handso, he might be a celebrity himself. After all, not every star was a household na in this day and age.
Surveying the bustling city and the restless crowd, a wistful expression appeared on the man's face. He let out a soft sigh.
"The mortal world... has beco even more tainted!"
He then turned to the nearest woman and asked gently, "Excuse , do you have a pen and paper?"
The woman gazed at him, her expression lovestruck and her face flushed, her hands unconsciously fumbling over her own body. The sound of his voice, as lodious as heavenly music, snapped her out of her trance. She imdiately felt shy about her behavior.
"Are you going to give your autograph?" she asked excitedly. "Yes, yes! I'll get you a pen and paper right now!"
She quickly took them out of her bag and eagerly handed them over, her eyes full of desire.
"An autograph? Alright, I shall grant your wish!"
The man opened the notebook to a blank page and swiftly signed four large characters: "Lord of Delight." Next to it, he drew a bizarre symbol. At first glance, it resembled a crude stick-figure drawing of a man and woman entangled. But a mont later, it looked like the ferocious, fanged maw of a monster, ready to devour soone at any mont.
He tore the page out and handed it back to her.
The woman received it like a priceless treasure, alternating between tears and laughter. She felt utterly unworthy of this Lord of Delight. Her only comfort for the rest of her life would be to guard this autograph. How tragic!
The incarnation of the Lord of Delight quickly began sketching on the second page. In just a few seconds, as if from a printer, a beautiful figure erged vividly on the paper.
"Do any of you know where this woman is?"
"Hmm?"
"That's..."
"Shen Youling?!"
Everyone saw that he had drawn none other than Shen Youling.
Why was he looking for her? Was it because she was more beautiful? But she was already married, and her reputation was terrible.
That bitch! She deserves to die!
In an instant, the flas of jealousy burned in the heart of every woman present. Their eyes turned red, and their faces twisted with malice. If Shen Youling were there, they would have torn her to shreds.
They rushed to slander and curse Shen Youling, recounting her various misdeeds to the Lord of Delight. They also asked if he intended to marry her, begging him not to.
The Lord of Delight replied with a faint smile, "My body and heart will forever belong to every young woman in this world. Of course, she will not monopolize . I sought her out only because she has desecrated . As punishnt, I shall nail her to the pillar of sha and burn her soul with the fire of desire for eternity!"
His tone remained gentle, but his words were exceedingly malicious.
These people had no personal grudge against Shen Youling, yet upon hearing this, they were overjoyed and breathed a collective sigh of relief. Their animosity only grew stronger.
"That's wonderful!"
"Since he isn't going to marry Shen Youling, I can rest easy!"
"Hmph, that promiscuous bitch Shen Youling dared to desecrate the great Lord of Delight! I am willing to take the lead and kill her myself!"
" too!"
"Count in!"
And just like that, these people completely abandoned whatever they had been planning to do. They ford a massive crowd and followed the Lord of Delight toward Shen Youling's location—Jiangbei City!
...
"What? A mysterious being calling himself the Lord of Delight has suddenly appeared and gathered thousands of won to go to Jiangbei to punish Shen Youling?"
"What did Shen Youling do now to offend such a figure..."
"This is trouble!"
As the shocking news was reported up the chain of command, Yan Qinghe's face turned grim. The Great Calamity was approaching, and more and more malevolent spirits and oddities were erging. Not long ago, they had been dealt a harsh blow by Long Tianji. He thought things would quiet down, but now, another one had appeared!
When will these trying days ever end?
Being most wary of the deities' true forms, Yan Qinghe first discussed the matter with several other elders. He then contacted the Grand Fate Decider of Yaochi Heavenly Palace, hoping for instructions and help. Imdiately after, an order was issued for Guo Jufeng to take several Grandmasters and negotiate amicably with this Lord of Delight.
"Note: do not let Xiao Xuanye go. As Shen Youling's adoptive father, the problem will beco much too severe if he does sothing irrational and angers this being!"
Guo Jufeng had been studying a Heaven-rank Cultivation Technique, forgoing sleep and food. Upon receiving the command, he was frustrated. He had seen with his own eyes how bizarre and terrifying the Evil Gods who fought Long Tianji were.
What am I compared to It? I wouldn't even be enough for a mouthful.
He trembled even more when he learned this Lord of Delight could make won willingly die for him with just a few words. Even n who got too close could very likely be turned gay.
As the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. Guo Jufeng looked around, only to realize he was the tall one... No matter how helpless he felt, he could only bite the bullet and go.
He didn't assemble a large number of elite personnel ard with firearms. In the presence of a deity, numbers and weapons were aningless because It could control minds and twist consciousness. A single glance could incite defection. Bringing more people would only be counterproductive.
...
Wen Dingchen had been patiently soothing his son Wen Liangjue's irritable mood. In truth, he was even more irritable himself but forcefully suppressed it to maintain his composure.
He was actually quite anxious.
So much ti has passed. Why hasn't that being made a major move yet? Was it all a bluff? Did it lack the power to return to this world?
This continued until a subordinate reported the sudden appearance of a mysterious, handso man. With just a few words, he had gathered tens of thousands of won and was now marching mightily toward the new Tianxiang Doukou Company office building.
"Hahahaha! Finally, it has begun! This ti, let's see how you, Xiao Xuanye, get out of this... n, prepare the helicopter! I want to witness this good show in person!"
...
On the other side, Xiao Xuanye found himself under guard, supposedly on Elder Yan's orders. They wouldn't even allow him to receive the latest intelligence from the outside world.
His face turned cold as he asked, "Has sothing happened to soone close to ?"
"No, really, nothing..."
"Hmph!"
Xiao Xuanye's majestic energy erupted in all directions, sending all the n surrounding him flying. They spat out blood as they fell heavily to the ground, with countless broken bones.
"Has President Xiao gone mad?"
"He's even injuring our own people?"
"Quick, report this up the chain..."
In the past, Xiao Xuanye might have had reservations. Now, as Lin Tang's lapdog, he cared nothing for rules or restrictions. Under his iron-fisted deterrence, he soon learned the details of the situation.
"Lord of Delight? Another one looking for death, is that it?" Lin Tang whispered.
The Lord of Gluttony was opening Its mouth wide, puffing Its cheeks, and trying to sate Its hunger by swallowing the northwest wind. It clutched Its rumbling stomach in agony. At the sa ti, Its ears perked up.
Hearing the words, It imdiately flew over. "Dear friend, give sothing to eat. Give food, and I will tell you about this Lord of Delight."
Lin Tang glanced at It sidelong. "You're an Evil God; you can't starve to death. What do you need to eat for?"
He grabbed a handful of sand and dirt and shoved it viciously into Its mouth.
"URGH! GAG! BLECH!"
The Lord of Gluttony choked, Its eyes rolling back, and dry-heaved. Seeing Lin Tang preparing to go to the toilet to scoop out feces, It shuddered all over.
"No, please don't! I'll just tell you, alright?! That scoundrel, the Lord of Delight, is an old antique. He's older than many deities, including . Generally, the more ancient they are, the more distant they are from this planet, and the harder it is for them to project their power here. But their true forms are also much stronger! Therefore, I advise you not to make an enemy of an ancient deity. Otherwise, you'll be as good as dead if you face an ancient god's true form, even if you beco a Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation Cultivator!"
"Pah—"
Lin Tang sneered. The other party was about to harm his wife. How could he not be their enemy? The word 'fear' did not exist in his dictionary!
Even the Lord of Gluttony itself couldn't say for sure when the so-called "return of the stars to their positions, descent of the gods" would actually begin. So, Lin Tang certainly wasn't going to worry about the Lord of Delight's true form returning soday in the future.
Right now, since the enemy had only projected a tiny bit of power, it was just trash. And trash belongs in the trash can!
Thus, this embodint of Lin Tang collected the Lord of Gluttony and flew out from beneath the Ten Directions Absolute Prison. No one in the prison noticed that Lin Tang had escaped once again.
「Jiangbei—The New Tianxiang Doukou Building」
After this period of effort, the staff's morale had finally stabilized. Several new dicines were ready, and all the relevant paperwork was complete. The next step was the official launch and sales promotion.
Zhu Yingning was presiding over a eting when suddenly, the head of security burst in without even knocking.
"This is bad, really bad! A huge crowd of people has co and surrounded our company!"
Zhu Yingning's eyebrows shot up. She scolded irritably, "I paid several tis the going rate for you and your security team! Didn't you swear to that you would protect all the employees? For sothing this small, all you can do is run in here panicking to make a report?"
"I..."
The security chief's face turned red. He stamred, "We could handle a normal situation, of course. But there are tens of thousands of people out there, and they're all won..."
"What? Tens of thousands? Won?"
All the executives at the conference table were stunned. Zhu Yingning walked to the window and looked down.
Sure enough, a massive crowd, like a swarm of ants, had encircled their building layer after layer. Soone had even set up a loudspeaker and started a chant in unison:
"Shen Youling, you heretic, get out here!!"
Everyone in the eting room was speechless.
Why was it always about Shen Youling? Was she truly a legendary fem fatale?
Shen Youling was bewildered. I've just been working at the company this whole ti. I haven't done anything! How did I get dragged into such a huge, undeserved disaster again?
Guo Jufeng and the few others who had already arrived nearby also felt like cursing when they saw the scene. The initial report said thousands; how did it escalate to tens of thousands so quickly?
And on top of that, these won were all actually innocent, their self-awareness simply influenced by the Lord of Delight. Now, how were they supposed to deal with this hysteria? They couldn't actually harm them...
"The saying goes, to untie the bell, you must find the one who tied it. We need to talk to this Lord of Delight."
"But everyone here is a woman. Where is he?"
Not far away, a smug smile appeared on Wen Dingchen's face. No matter how deep his sches, he couldn't hide his true feelings now. By his side stood Wen Liangjue, now a eunuch.
Originally, he hadn't wanted his injured, beloved son to co. But he couldn't stop Wen Liangjue from throwing a tantrum.
"Son, look. This is what Dad did for you. Are you satisfied?"
"Hahaha, I'm satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied! Dad, thank you! I can't wait to see that bitch Shen Youling be utterly humiliated in front of everyone!"
Wen Liangjue first roared with laughter, then began to cry sadly. "It's just a sha I can't humiliate her myself..."
"Who said you can't? If you wish it, you can."
A warm voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
"Who's there?"
Wen Dingchen, his son, and the several experts protecting them all spun around in shock. They saw the Lord of Delight, his face impossibly handso, walking toward them with a smile.
Wen Liangjue was already full of hostility. Seeing this man who was so handso, with a smile that was practically begging to be punched, he was about to start cursing and order his n to kill him.
But as soon as they drew near, Wen Liangjue froze. His cheeks flushed red and his eyes grew hazy with infatuation.
He stared blankly at the Lord of Delight and blurted out, "No, I'm not interested in Shen Youling at all! I don't want to humiliate her anymore... I just want... to be humiliated by you... Oh, this is so embarrassing!"
Wen Dingchen: "!!!!!!!"
