Chapter 57: Plans

"This…" Hu Liena frowned. She had really not thought about this. Looking at Nian Zhen smiling at her, she knew that only when she gives a satisfactory answer will she be able to gain Nian Zhen's trust.

"A favor….I will owe you a favor. As long as it is not anything indecent, I will do my best to help you at least for a time." Hu Liena said, gritting her teeth. This was her bottom line. Though it may not sound good but this is the only option she has left. As long as anything sexual is not asked from her, she is willing to do anything.

"Hmm. Just a favor? Is the next generation Supreme Pontiff so poor that she can only give a favor? Sigh...Fine. I hope you remember what you said." Nian Zhen said, waving his hand with a 'sad' expression. But inwardly Nian Zhen was slightly happy.

Using this 'favor' many things could be done. May it be finding the location of the Rakshasa God Inheritance, Secrets that even his clone acting as Salas cannot access and many other things.

Listening to Nian Zhen, Hu Liena sighed in relief. She was slightly nervous that Nian Zhen would refuse or put other conditions. Huo Wu at the side looked back and forth towards the two, tilting her head in confusion. She did not know what happened between the two right now as she was still in her own delusions regarding Nian Zhen's shamelessness.

"...Then you must-"

"I know what you want from me. You want to obtain the Death God Domain. But because the Hell Road is dangerous, you want back up who can support you in a life and death situation. Well, you will surely benefit from this. I do not mind that. But first listen to what I have planned for Huo Wu." Nian Zhen interrupted Hu Liena. Hu Liena did not say anything about this while Huo Wu listened carefully to Nian Zhen as he was saying things that were scheduled for her.

"First of all, right after you win the 100th match, the Slaughter King will come and give you two options. One is the position of a Death God directly without having to enter Hell Road. The reason for this is simple, he doesn't want more people to obtain Death God Domain. He will also allow you to freely enter and exit Slaughter City but you cannot use your Spirit Techniques as you have not passed the Hell Road."

"And because alongside me, Ying Yun and another person were also there, though the other person was my clone. So you could say that 4 people have obtained Death God Domains excluding the Slaughter King. He does not want others to obtain powers that could threaten his reign over the Slaughter City." (AN: Hei Linghun, which was the Tragic Night, was unnecessary so I removed his existence)

"The four are obviously me, Ying Yun, Bibi Dong and Tang Hao. So it would be extremely hard for you to get permission to enter the Hell Road without any one of the Current Deathgod's recommendation."

"As for the second option, it is to let you enter Hell Road. But like I said, this time you may need a recommendation. Hu Liena must have already gotten her Master's recommendation right? So, you don't have to worry about being able to enter Hell Road. As for Huo Wu, take this token and represent it when that Old Man arrives."

"Even if he is staying here, he knows all the things that are happening in the mainland so he will obviously not disregard my Existence due to my Organization and will give me a face. You guys will enter first and I will arrive after that."

"Now, regarding your request, I promise to help you when there is something you cannot deal with by yourselves but other times I won't even bat an eye. And I cannot promise you that I may save you. First I will always consider the safety of Huo Wu and then only you. Understood?" Nian Zhen said, telling his plans indifferently to Hu Liena.

"....Okay." Hu Liena nodded after thinking about it for a while. This was a nice deal. Even though Nian Zhen said that safety of Huo Wu comes first, she did not think anything about it. This was expected as Hu Liena and Nian Zhen did not have that close of a relation.

Beside her, Huo Wu felt warm in her heart but she could not stop blushing. The meaning in Nian Zhen's words is clearly saying that Huo Wu is much more important. Seeing Huo Wu smiling and blushing by herself, Hu Liena and Nian Zhen smiled bitterly.

"But, how will you enter Hell Road? It is said that only the Slaughter King is able to open it. Even my teacher said that." Hu Liena asked in confusion.

"Hmm. Do you think any formation and person can stop me. I have my own way of entering it. You do not have to worry. Now, tell me one thing. How long are you planning to stay here for?" Nian Zhen asked Hu Liena. He had previously planned to wait for Tang San to arrive too but having Hu Liena and Huo Wu with him will be some sort of help and Nian Zhen does not want to see that. He wants Tang San to face hardships alone. Even if he dies, Nian Zhen won't care.

"Hmm. I had wanted to wait for some time but now that I have your support maybe in 8-10 months or so." Hu Liena said. She had planned to look for a suitable person who can help her in Hell Road. If she did this she would inevitably ask Tang San for his help. But now Huo Wu has interfered and she immediately shifted her target unknowingly to Nian Zhen.

"It is good. I will help you to temper your own killing intent and cultivation from now on alongside Huo Wu. And don't drink Bloody Mary anymore to soothe your mind. That is poison which will harm your soul and body. While I will help you temper yourself, you can also benefit from my energy that can soothe your mind and soul." Nian Zhen said sincerely caughting both Huo Wu and Hu Liena off guard.

When was he so generous? Huo Wu thought this. According to her impression of Nian Zhen, he is the type of person who does not give other's any benefits unless it will benefit himself too. But now, Nian Zhen gave Hu Liena such a deal from which he could not gain any benefit.

A flash of light appeared in Huo Wu's eyes as she looked at Nian Zhen in surprise. This...Wouldn't he.. Turning her head to look at Hu Liena, she shook her head thinking that it was impossible.

'Is he trying to hit on me?' Hu Liena thought. There was no other explanation here. Either Nian Zhen planned to hit on her or he wanted to get another favor from her.

"Don't think too much. Helping beautiful girls is my motto. And Huo Wu must feel lonely without a sister. It would be good if I gave her one, isn't it?" Nian Zhen said with a smile. If he directly tells his purpose then the bloodshed can be reduced.

How could the two not understand what Nian Zhen meant. The two girls blushed deeply. Glancing at each other, when their eyes met they became embarrassed and blushed more. How thick can a person's skin be. Huo Wu tried to kick Nian Zhen in anger.

'This shameless wants to give the old lady a little wife. Hmph. Can't you just say you want to build a harem now.' Huo Wu thought. She was pissed off. But thinking about it, it wouldn't be bad to have Hu Liena as her Sister Wife. But she doesn't want others to share the person she likes.

Dodging her attack, Nian Zhen sealed off her meridians and squatted her down. Turning to look over Hu Liena, he found a murderous gaze filled with killing intent locked on him.

"What? Just because we two are from enemy factions we cannot be related to each other?" Nian Zhen said. This was the same thing Hu Liena said to Tang San in the original novel. To his surprise this worked, the previous murderous and frosty face turned into a face that seems to be contemplating what Nian Zhen said.

'Hmm. What he said is true...No! Why am I thinking that. Just because he is uh.. A little handsome doesn't mean that I will fall for his tricks. He must be wanting to use me to fulfill his needs.' Hu Liena thought. If Nian Zhen was reading her thoughts right now, he would vomit old blood. Women tend to think way off the chart.

"Hmm. Let's take it slow. Anyway, what I said is still valid. You must have known the changes in your body after entering here. I will help you fix them in a better way. Now, you two can leave. It's already late night. I don't want hooligans to take advantage of my innocence." Nian Zhen said, kicking the two girls out of his room.
