Seeing his once perfectly fine son suddenly turn into a complete sissy, holding his fingers in a delicate pose while mincing and swaying, his voice turning into a grating squawk, Wen Dingchen felt both nauseous and on the verge of tears.
He urgently pleaded, "Are you the great Lord of Joy? Please, withdraw your powers! My son is already pitiful enough, he really isn't a suitable target for your gas…"
The Lord of Joy smiled faintly. "My apologies. I couldn't quite contain my irresistible charm for a mont. I didn't an to toy with him. Besides, what I said is true. I can make your son's limbs regenerate and turn him back into a man."
"Ah?! That… that's wonderful! Truly wonderful! Thank you, Lord of Joy, I'm so grateful!"
Wen Dingchen was stunned once more, then beca utterly ecstatic. Without hesitation, he knelt and kowtowed. The other party was a god; kneeling was no disgrace. Even if he were just a man, Wen Dingchen wouldn't care about his pride as long as his son could be fully restored.
Such is the love of a father, as steadfast as a mountain—a love that could move heaven and earth.
Wen Liangjue, his clarity restored, was also crying tears of joy as he knelt in worship. He vowed to beco a devout follower, offering his most faithful belief.
"Good child," the Lord of Joy said. "Since you are willing to believe in , I shall enhance your prowess in the bedchamber, allowing you to easily satisfy ten won in a single night."
Wen Liangjue was imdiately moved to tears. His expression twisted in a crazed state. "This is perfect! Now I can personally play Shen Youling to death! I can personally avenge this blood feud!"
In the next mont, the Lord of Joy pointed a finger toward his groin.
"AH!"
Wen Liangjue let out a scream of both pain and pleasure, rolling around on the ground.
"Son, hold on!" Wen Dingchen watched, his heart twisting in agony, but he was powerless to do anything but offer words of encouragent.
Then, he was stunned again. He saw a tent forming under his son's clothes, growing taller and taller until it ripped right through the fabric!
Is... isn't this a bit too much? Wen Dingchen was dumbfounded.
"Hahahaha—"
Wen Liangjue propped himself up with his hands and shakily got to his feet. Looking down at the ferocious weapon, he was suprely satisfied. At that mont, he felt like he was bursting with power. He wouldn't be afraid even if he had to fight for ten days and ten nights straight!
And so, he eagerly rushed toward Shen Youling.
Since the Lord of Joy hadn't bothered to conceal his form, Guo Jufeng, after looking around, finally spotted him.
This is bad. Why is the Night King here too? Could he be in cahoots with that thing? Damn it, as the Night King of Central Earth, how can he associate with an Evil God? This is completely wrong!
Guo Jufeng's face turned grim. Seeing the Lord of Joy looking over in his direction, he quickly forced a smile and called out, "Respected deity, hello. I represent the Central Earth Official and would like to have a word with you. May I have the pleasure?"
He had witnessed the arrogance of other Evil Gods before and was ntally prepared for the Lord of Joy's disdainful mockery. But unexpectedly, the Lord of Joy was quite polite.
"Of course. I would be delighted to share a drink and chat with a man as physically robust as yourself."
Guo Jufeng stiffened. Robust? Must you use such a disgusting word?
He hurried over imdiately. Wen Dingchen saw this and wanted to object. What is there to talk about? But he didn't dare speak, fearing he would provoke the deity.
When Guo Jufeng arrived, Wen Dingchen rely snorted coldly and said nothing. Guo Jufeng glanced down at Wen Liangjue's crotch, and his pupils involuntarily shrank. He then cleared his throat and bowed. "Your Excellency, please forgive . I don't know how this woman, Shen Youling, offended you. If you wish to deal with her, you only needed to say the word. Why go to the trouble of causing such a massive commotion?"
The Lord of Joy smiled. "My apologies, it was a montary oversight on my part. It won't happen again."
"Ah?" He's this easy to talk to?
Clinging to a sliver of hope, Guo Jufeng asked, "Then... would you consider lifting your spell from these tens of thousands of won and letting them disperse?"
However, the Lord of Joy shook his head. "I'm sorry, but they have already beco my followers, and that cannot be changed. It is not within my power to do so unless my true self returns personally."
"What?!"
Guo Jufeng nearly fell over. His mind was reeling. "How... how is that possible? If you could cast the spell on them, you should be able to undo it. Please don't joke with like this. I have a weak heart; I can't take this kind of shock!"
"Hehe, I'm quite serious," the Lord of Joy said with a shrug, indicating he was powerless to help. He even offered an analogy, ntioning how clever humans were to have discovered the universe's abundant radioactive materials.
"It's easy to contaminate a person's body with radiation; you just have to place them near a radioactive source. But to restore a contaminated body to its original state... I imagine you humans can't do that, can you? By the sa token, it's easy for to corrupt their minds, but reversing that corruption is very difficult."
Hey, hey, hey! You know it's corruption, so why are you doing sothing so depraved? Guo Jufeng felt too powerless to even retort and could only report back to his superiors.
Yan Qinghe's face was etched with worry. He had already understood the situation. The enemy is clearly playing a classic ga of 'holding the emperor hostage to command the warlords'! He's kidnapped tens of thousands of won, using their lives as leverage to force the Central Earth Official to comply. Not only can we not harm him, but we also have to follow his arrangents. Otherwise, in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people will either die or go completely insane! It's too cruel! Absolutely heinous! His surface-level politeness is just a deliberate act to toy with us!
To save tens of thousands of lives, Yan Qinghe could only tell Guo Jufeng to let them do whatever they wanted to Shen Youling. Under no circumstances was he to interfere or stop them.
Afterward, he hastily dialed Xiao Xuanye's number and warned with the utmost seriousness, "Xiao Xuanye, as an elder of the capital, I order you to withdraw imdiately! A military order is sacrosanct; you must not disobey it again! Do you hear ?"
Xiao Xuanye held the phone, silent for a few seconds. His eyes were numb, his voice ice-cold. "Scram."
"You?!" Yan Qinghe's eyes bulged in disbelief. He never imagined that Xiao Xuanye would dare defy him so brazenly for a sworn daughter he had only recently acknowledged. "Are you rebelling?"
"So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?"
"..."
Hearing the call disconnect, a harsh look flashed across Yan Qinghe's face. One Long Tianji, who repeatedly puts himself above all rules, is already a major source of instability! I never expected Xiao Xuanye would want to follow his example! Who does he think he is? Such an unstable elent must be eliminated! Otherwise, if everyone starts imitating him... the nation will cease to be a nation!
He gave a decisive order. "Soone, initiate Plan X!"
"...Yes!"
In the office building, Zhu Yingning and Shen Youling had reached the first floor. On her command, all the security guards and employees had ford a human wall, desperately holding back the zombie-like crowd outside to prevent them from breaking through.
"Hey, what the hell is wrong with all of you?" she tried to yell through a crack in the door.
But the people outside wouldn't listen. In the crush of the stampede, so were seriously injured with broken bones, yet they seed to feel nothing. This scene sent a chill down the spines of Zhu Yingning and the others.
Seeing the main doors deforming under the pressure, the "zombie" army outside was about to swarm in. The employees were about to piss themselves in fear.
"The one who's responsible should pay! Why don't we just hand over Shen Youling?"
"Yeah, we're all innocent!"
"If we stay with her any longer, we'll be torn to shreds too!"
"Shit... shit... Aaaah... I want to go ho..."
If it were anyone else, Zhu Yingning's personality would have dictated she hand them over long ago. Better a friend die than , after all. But the crucial fact was that Shen Youling was Lin Tang's woman. Even if she had a hundred tis the courage, she wouldn't dare.
A fierce look flashed across her face. She had already made her decision. The mont those people broke in, she would poison them all. To hell with every last one of them!
Just as Zhu Yingning began mixing her poisons, Wen Liangjue, having received the "blessing" of the Lord of Joy, strode forward boldly, swaggering through the crowd to the very front. The won around him parted with awe, so even dropping to their knees in worship.
"It's you!" Shen Youling, both panicked and bewildered, recognized him instantly. The sight was so repulsive she had to quickly look away.
She rebuked him, "You hooligan! You beast! If you want revenge, co for yourself! Why are you hurting so many innocent people?"
"Innocent? What a classic line from a pure little victim. If you knew this was coming, why did you resist back then? If you had willingly beco my woman, they never would have ended up like this. Let's be blunt, you're the real culprit here!"
"Tch—" Zhu Yingning couldn't help but laugh at his twisted logic. "What kind of garbage reasoning is that? You disgusting moron, go to hell!"
Since the mastermind behind this had delivered himself to her doorstep, why wait? She would serve him a dose of deadly poison.
Unfortunately, under the protection of the Lord of Joy, Wen Liangjue was not only unhard by the poison, but he also seed to have been injected with stimulants, his condition becoming even more exaggerated.
"Guo Jufeng, get your ass over here and smash this door open for ! I'm going to take both of you right here, in front of everyone!" Wen Liangjue sneered. Seeing Zhu Yingning's voluptuous figure, he was extrely pleased.
If this had been before, Guo Jufeng would have sent Wen Liangjue flying with a single slap for speaking to him like that. But now, he had no choice but to swallow the humiliation and obey.
He took a single leap, and as he landed, he smashed the main doors with his fist. The shockwave sent the employees behind it reeling, many of them spitting up blood.
Shen Youling never expected that Guo Jufeng would beco an accomplice. "Uncle Guo, you are a legend in Central Earth, known as Guo Changsheng, a great hero of noble character. And now you're…" she trailed off, her face a mask of disappointnt and a sad smile.
Guo Jufeng's face burned with sha. He looked down and sighed. "My hands are tied. If I don't comply, the tens of thousands of won outside will et a terrible fate. I can't sacrifice so many lives for just one person. Shen Youling, don't be so selfish. Just cooperate and let Young Master Wen vent his anger."
"Shaless!" Zhu Yingning spat with utter contempt.
Enraged and embarrassed, Guo Jufeng slapped her across the face. "You bitch, you're asking to die!"
As he led the charge, the vast army of won behind him scrambled to pour into the building, tearing and clawing at everything in sight indiscriminately.
Zhu Yingning was sent flying backward, her cheek swelling as she was plastered against a wall, almost flattened. She could sll the stench of death. As she struggled to lift her head, she saw Wen Liangjue's lecherous claws about to fall upon Shen Youling...
Lin Tang, you heartless bastard! Why the hell did you have to go to prison? Happy now? Serves you right, you cuckold! Zhu Yingning cursed inwardly.
The next mont, a robust and imposing figure rushed in swiftly. Everywhere he passed, n and won alike were sent flying to the sides.
A fist as big as a clay pot slamd viciously into Wen Liangjue's back.
"Don't!!" Guo Jufeng's face changed drastically.
