Faced with skepticism, Qin Xiao responded with actions rather than words.
A golden and a red light burst out from within Qin Xiao's body, twirling around him like two little sprites.
However, everyone present, including Gu Yuena, the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear, Zijie, Di Tian, and other Soul Beast Overlords, widened their eyes in disbelief.
"These are actually godhoods!"
"Moreover, there are two of them!"
"This guy, he hasn't refined the godhoods, yet he possesses two, doesn't that mean..."
Upon deeper reflection, the truth becomes increasingly chilling.
The man before them had actually slain gods!
"The Asura God's godhood and the Sea God's godhood, you truly are full of surprises," Gu Yuena said with a somewhat softened expression.
Godhoods are treasured even in the Divine Realm, objects of desire for countless beings, yet Qin Xiao played with them casually. If this wasn't an insult, then what was?
Qin Xiao didn't follow up on Gu Yuena's remarks, instead, he returned to the main issue, "I believe we can have a proper talk now, can't we?"
"What do you want?" Gu Yuena asked in a soft voice.
"Quite simple, I need you to cooperate with me to do certain things..."
However, before Qin Xiao could finish speaking, the trace of warmth on Gu Yuena's pretty face turned into frost once more, "It turns out you are no different from the other deities of the Divine Realm. No... those filthy creatures in the Divine Realm just want to completely destroy me.
Your desires, however, are even more strong, you actually want to... to..."
Gu Yuena couldn't continue her words.
Even she found Qin Xiao's intentions somewhat shameful.
Creak, creak...
At the side, the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear almost ground its teeth to bits.
The Emerald Swan's green eyes nearly turned crimson with flames seeming to burn within them.
Seeing their reactions, Qin Xiao was puzzled.
Did I say something wrong?
These soul beasts are too good at making wild guesses, aren't they?
"Stop right there, don't let your imagination run wild. Helping me accomplish certain things does not mean I have any improper intentions toward you," Qin Xiao said, waving his hands repeatedly, "Desire for beauty is natural to humans, and that is the truth. However, I, Qin Xiao, never force anyone to do anything against their will; matters between men and women should always occur naturally."
"My lord, you must not trust his words lightly!"
At that moment, the Azure Oxpython, risking being crushed by Qin Xiao, bravely offered a fervent admonition.
"My lord, I also believe that Qin Xiao isn't trustworthy. It's said that one can never truly know a person by appearance alone; who's to say he doesn't act one way in front and another behind closed doors."
"Humans are never up to any good. You are a threat to him, and he surely views you as a thorn in his flesh, longing to dispose of you as soon as possible. I don't believe they have any good intentions..."
Di Tian also made an effort to speak up and dissuade.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, an icy voice echoed through the room, freezing the air into ice, which crackled as it fell.
Hss...
All the Soul Beast Overlords present drew a sharp breath. The chilling feeling made them sober up a great deal.
However, it wasn't Gu Yuena who spoke, but Qin Xiao.
"Do you think you might be suffering from paranoia?"
"With my cultivation level, if I wanted to target Gu Yuena, would I be wasting my words on you?"
As the last word fell, Qin Xiao emitted a powerful aura that enveloped the entire scene.
Thump, thump, thump.
One after another, hearts pounded. The Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear, Emerald Swan, and Zijie could not bear the pressure from Qin Xiao and knelt down.
Gu Yuena's hands clutched the armrests, her eyebrows knitted tightly together.
Her heart was far from as calm as she appeared, turmoil raged inside.
Was this Qin Xiao's true strength?
In terms of spiritual level, he was probably no weaker than herself when she was still the Dragon God, right?
"You see? Even your master can't protect you," Qin Xiao said.
"Neither she nor the deities of the Divine Realm have ever been considered my adversaries. They are nothing but stepping stones to me," he added.
Qin Xiao's words were exceedingly arrogant.
But he had the confidence to back them up.
It must be said, the Qin Xiao at this moment had an extraordinary demeanor...
Just like a damn lunatic...
Gu Yuena's gaze flickered ceaselessly, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
That's because what Qin Xiao said was right, she really wasn't qualified to be his opponent right now, not even worthy to be a stepping stone.
"Can you guys calm down now?"
"Tell me what you want me to cooperate with you on?"
Gu Yuena was also willing to listen to Qin Xiao's ideas.
"Wouldn't it have saved trouble if you acted like this earlier? You really forced me to win over people with virtue."
Qin Xiao grumbled as he retracted all his aura, appearing just like any ordinary person.
The numerous Soul Beast Kings, their eyes flickering, dared not make any further comments.
"It's simple, when the Divine Realm's Deities descend, I'll hold them off, you take the opportunity to return to the Divine Realm and rescue your other half of the soul, fuse together, and then steal the Divine Realm's Deities' shit for me."
Qin Xiao casually outlined his plan.
But it made all the Soul Beast Kings dumbfounded.
What the hell was this guy talking about?
To have the Supreme Lord return to the Divine Realm to steal their shit?
Listen, listen, does this even sound reliable?
They finally understood why this guy wasn't coveting the Supreme Lord's body.
This damn guy wanted the Supreme Lord's life.
However, Gu Yuena appeared very calm, she even seemed quite interested in Qin Xiao's plan, "How can you be sure that the Divine Realm's Deities will definitely come to attack you?"
"Because they can't defeat me, ah. If I go all out, taking down two or three Divine Kings shouldn't be a big issue," Qin Xiao said this and couldn't help but laugh.
Not for any other reason, but because even he found what he said sounded like bragging.
But he really wasn't.
The three-year deadline was approaching, and he would fully enter the God King realm. By then, donning the Lei Di Battle Armor, dealing with two or three Divine Kings shouldn't be a problem, right?
If he couldn't even handle this small matter, he might as well slam his head into tofu and end it all.
Even the eternally icy Gu Yuena couldn't help but let a smile creep onto her frosty face after hearing Qin Xiao's words.
But the smile was quickly repressed, as if it had never existed.
"Aren't you afraid that once I return to the Divine Realm and successfully fuse the other half of my soul, I won't help you?"
"Why should I be afraid? With your help stealing their shit, dealing with the Divine Realm's Deities might be easier for me, but without you, it won't be that difficult either. How should I put it, with you it's fifty-eight, without you it's still forty."
Gu Yuena: "╮( ̄⊿ ̄)╭"
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Gu Yuena felt she had never been so speechless in her life.
If she weren't weaker than Qin Xiao, she would have started a fight. Even if Qin Xiao's plan was to her liking, it had to be put on hold first. The infuriating guy in front of her should be strung up and beaten first.
"What if, after I've merged with the other half of my soul, I decide to mend my relationship with the Divine Realm's Deities and turn around to suppress you with them?"
It wasn't hard to hear a hint of petulance in Gu Yuena's voice.
It was rare for her to exhibit such fluctuations in her emotions, but today she really couldn't control herself.
She wanted this human in front of her to realize her importance.
But Qin Xiao's response made her so frustrated she wanted to vomit blood.
"The more lice you have, the less you worry about getting bitten, managing one sheep is the same as herding a bunch. I think it's not a big problem at all," Qin Xiao said, shrugging it off indifferently.
Sure, another Divine King would put more pressure on him, but he didn't think it would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
"What the hell is this? This guy is way too arrogant, isn't he? Not only does he not treat Divine Kings like gods, but he also compares them to lice, sheep..."
Gu Yuena was extremely furious.
She felt that her anger was nearly on par with the time when she was besieged by the deities.
If she could beat Qin Xiao, she swore to herself that she would hang Qin Xiao up and brutally whip him for 10,000 years.
Even the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear and other Soul Beast Kings felt an itch in their teeth with hatred.
They secretly muttered, hoping this kid would act like a human being.
"Fine, I agree to this. I hope you won't regret today's decision when the time comes!" Gu Yuena finally nodded fiercely.
It was clearly a win-win situation, but somehow Qin Xiao made it seem like there was a personal grudge involved.
He spread his hands, "Doesn't matter, life is a gamble. If you really stand with the deities, it just means I, Qin Xiao, was blind and saw the wrong person, throwing all my affections to a dog."
Gu Yuena: "(╬•̀皿•́)"
The Soul Beasts: "ᕕ༼͠ຈĹ̯͠ຈ༽┌∩┐"
They could see that this guy really didn't know how to speak.
What a waste of a mouth, it would be so much better given to someone in need.
