I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 342 - Was It A Test or A Test?

Chapter 342: Was It A Test or A Test?

Han Li sat on the sofa.

She felt extremely nervous and her heart was pounding intensely.

She knew that everything here turned out accordingly to how master desired.

This was something that had already been proven by the facts.

Therefore…

Han Li could not help but feel nervous and anxious.

Tap Tap Tap…

The sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Han Li turned her head slightly and looked behind her. The sound of footsteps came from the abyss that was deep and eerily quiet.

Along with the sound of footsteps, there were layers of ripples that undulated in the bookstore.

It was as if they felt her turning her head.

There was an evil eye looking over one after another in the empty abyss which looked like an endless black hole.

Cold, heartless…

Crazy, strange…

Even though Han Li was prepared for this, she was still unable to hold back her trembling and feeling of terror.

Cold sweat dripped down from her forehead.

Luckily, Han Li was protected.

She heard murmuring which appeared beside her ears instantly.

The murmurs dispelled her fear and calmed her trembling.

It allowed her heart to be at peace.

At this moment, the figure of the owner of the bookstore also stepped out from the darkness and silence.

The light shone upon him.

Countless illusory shadows were projected on the floor.

Those shadows were blurry, distorted, and dimmed.

They flashed and disappeared instantaneously!

Han Li immediately turned over her head as the voice of the owner sounded in her ears, “Young lady, sorry to keep you waiting…”

He walked to the side of her with something that seemed to be in his hand.

He looked at Xiao Ai, who had been beside Han Li all this time and was extremely nervous.

“Children…”

From Xiao Ai’s perspective, the upper part of the owner was shrouded in fog, or rather, it was made of fog. However, the lower half of the head was in a form of a human being with a large white hand stretched out. There was a book with a sparkling l.u.s.ter in the hand.

“This is a gift for you!”

“I hope you’ll like it!”

The fire in his eyes was like a torch in the astral world.

Xiao Ai looked at it and only had a feeling of fear!

“Thank…” Xiao Ai stumbled as she was extremely anxious, “Thank you…”

“You’re welcome!” he handed the book in his hand to Xiao Ai, “Little princess, you’ll definitely like it!”

Xiao Ai touched the book with her fingers.

It was very thin. She was not sure what material it was made of.

It was cold but comfortable to touch.

The cover was decorated with green leaves.

The green leaves spread out slowly, and words appeared one after another.

The book of Escodale.

Xiao Ai’s eyes were stunned.

Escodale?

Some sealed memories emerged from her soul.

“Father…” Xiao Ai called out in her heart.

She finally remembered.

She was the Princess of Star Court!

The daughter of the Queen of Star and her husband, Escodale!

If there were no accidents, she would be the future queen of the Sky-Piercer Clan.

But…

Her father fell into the abyss and was deceived by the demon mother to sign a blasphemous agreement.

All the angels of the Star Royal Court fell into the abyss and became the hostage of the Mother Devil.

By touching the book…

Xiao Ai could feel that this book contained everything her father recorded before he died.

It might even consist of the secret to let the Asura Clan free from the curse!

She took a deep breath and grabbed the book in her hand tightly.

Ling Pingan looked at the little girl and how she grabbed the comic book anxiously.

He smiled.

This was how little girls would react.

It was proven that the flower fairy’s power was destructive to all little girls.

Therefore, he turned around and looked at the other girl who was still a little reserved with the other two books in his hand.

“Girl…” Ling Pingan smiled and introduced, “I think this book will be of great help to your career…”

He handed over the book named Complete Guide to Cosplay.

With the help of this book, Ling Pingan believed that Han Li would be able to partic.i.p.ate in various cosplay compet.i.tions as long as she studied the content seriously.

Perhaps she might even become a famous actor in the future!

In this era, it was still relatively easy to become famous.

Especially with this guest’s good foundation!

She might not get a full score according to the judgment of the outside world.

But she would easily obtain a score of more than 90 points.

Han Li took the book that was handed over.

There were layers that seemingly boundless on the cover. It was like a deep well, but also similar to a terrifying world of whirlpools.

It was the “Upper Abyss Research Report” that she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Just as she touched the cover, the ravings by Han Li’s ears changed.

From being low to oppressive.

In the rustling of the ravings, Han Li seemed to see the trajectory of the entire abyss world.

She also seemed to understand something.

Abyss..

The core of the bottomless abyss was hidden in the book.

As long as one could understand it, there would not be difficulty in defeating the abyss.

However, the flames in the eyes of the ruler in the fog became unsettled at this moment.

The rising flames seemed to have the sound of truth echoing.

He also handed over another book.

“Young lady… I selected this book for you based on your situation…” his voice echoed in the entire bookstore, “I hope it can help you!”

Han Li lowered her head and looked at the second book that was handed to her.

On the cover of the book, there was only one symbol.

A yellow symbol.

Below the symbol, there was a figure slowly walking into the distance.

He was wearing yellow clothes with a crown.

There was no doubt that he was the lord of the Deep s.p.a.ce Sea.

The yellow symbol instantly disintegrated into words by the moment he was seen.

The name of the book also appeared.

The Deep s.p.a.ce Ceremony of the Kaiser in Yellow.

There was no doubt that it was an upgraded version of the spiritual sacrifice of the death walker.

It was a secret technique that the Kaiser in Yellow had given to his followers and his clan tribe.

One could continue to temper one’s vigor and determination through the technique.

It could also strengthen one’s soul resistance against abnormal energy and spirit.

In fact…

One could even use the vigor of the Great Immortal Kaiser in Yellow to invade and corrode the enemy’s spirit and also control them!

With these two books in her hands, Han Li knew that her goal had been achieved!

This made her extremely grateful.

“Thank you!” Han Li bowed deeply. She would willingly worship this generous and great ruler if it was not for the fact that she was forbidden to do so.

“You’re welcome!” Ling Pingan looked at her and laughed.

…

It was already 12am.

However, Song Shihui was still in the surveillance center, looking at the images on the monitor.

There was no movement.

Everything was very quiet.

The entire street was extremely empty.

Everything seemed to have come to a standstill.

Suddenly…

Song Shihui stood up and zoomed in on one of the screens.

The scene seemed to have changed a little under the angle of the camera lens.

In the shadows, there seemed to be a thick fog in front of the bookstore.

The thick fog that commander-in-chief and Situ He had mentioned.

However, the thick fog only flashed across the screen.

“The owner of the bookstore is sending me a message…” after he repeatedly observed the screen a few times, Song Shihui closed his eyes and said slowly.

“He already knows about me…”

This was certain!

His strength was unimaginable.

According to Situ He’s vague description, he was almost at the legendary supreme position of omniscience and omnipotence.

The research report of the think tank also guessed that he had at least the characteristic of omniscience.

Therefore, Song Shihui knew that before he arrived in Jiangcheng City, the owner of the bookstore might have already known about his future in Jiangcheng City before he even left.

In other words, he must also know that he was studying and observing him through surveillance?

So..

He did it on purpose?

He deliberately let the fog flash through the surveillance.

“He really has an arrogant temperament!” Song Shihui exclaimed.

Like Situ He, Song Shihui had already read all the doc.u.ments of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong.

Including the living records of the three emperors.

Thus, he understood that his current behavior was actually the same as the three proud emperors back then.

He gently lifted a corner of his mysterious veil.

Using this action to test himself?

Or perhaps to test himself?

Song Shihui thought and pondered.

He understood that this was a test, the test that the ancient G.o.d had arranged for him.

As for the reason?

One could find the answer by carefully looking at the past living records of the Taizu and Taizong dynasties.

The emperors held great power and were all high and mighty. Every time a new palace official was appointed, they would observe this person.

“Is he the talent that I want?”

“Is his loyalty trustworthy?”

“Can he understand my intentions?”

When the emperors had this thought, they would set up tests to prove one’s loyalty and ability.

Only those who pa.s.sed the trials would truly earn the chance to contact them.

Now, the ancient G.o.d did not need to test any loyalty.

From the description of the think tank, he probably did not care if humans were loyal to him.

He only cared about one thing — whether he could be understood and understand his intentions.

Just like the commander-in-chief, he understood his intentions.

In the Blackguard, he quietly created a good environment for the KOI.

Thus, he was highly rewarded!

Just like Situ He…

He had served him comfortably for more than a month.

Hence, he also helped Situ He to get rid of the mafia left behind by the Duke of h.e.l.l in Jiangcheng City.

Not only that!

He even provided Situ He with a broad path in this future!

So…

“He let me see the fog… then what was his intention?” Song Shihui began to wonder.

“Inviting me to meet him?”

“Or telling me… to abide by his rules?”

This was really a difficult question to guess.

If he presumed wrongly, the consequences would be very serious.

Thinking of this, Song Shihui opened his eyes. He picked up a tablet next to him and opened a reading software on the screen, then continued to read.

He knew that he needed to find the answer from these historical materials.

There was no other way!

The Blackguard had never dealt with such a strong and powerful ancient G.o.d who was willing to abide by the law.

They knew very little about him.

Therefore, they could only look for examples with similar existences from ancient historical materials.

In the dynasty era, the only one with great power in hand would be the emperor, thus, it became Song Shihui’s first choice to look up on.

Through most cases, it was indeed possible to infer one party’s intentions using some common characteristics of the two.

…

Ling Pingan watched as the two guests disappeared into the thick fog.

He turned around and looked at the bag on the counter.

“That guest is really a good person!” he praised while rubbing his hands.

Every time she visits, this guest would always give him a surprise!

This time, she even brought him many good things!

He opened the bag and first took out the bag of golden tea leaves.

He weighed it and found that there were approximately one or two of them.

After whistling, Ling Pingan could not wait to take out a few leaves and put them into the cup to make a cup for himself.

The steaming cup immediately smelt good.

Ling Pingan tried to take a sip, which filled his mouth with fragrance.

His mind instantly became clearer!

“Good tea! Good tea!” Ling Pingan praised, “This tea is even better than the last one!”

“It must be the best from her family!”

Putting down the teacup, Ling Pingan gazed upon his little cat, who was looking at him eagerly.

He chuckled and shared half of the tea with his little greedy cat.

The little guy could not wait any longer and started to drink from the cup.

Ling Pingan stuck his brains into the bag.

A few snow white peaches…

He was drooling!

But after thinking about it, he still could not bear to eat them.

“Such delicious peaches, I need to save some for aunty…” he said.

As for whether they would spoil if he kept them for too long?

He did not need to worry about that!

Ling Pingan’s refrigerator had a very powerful preservation function!

It worked exactly as how the advertis.e.m.e.nt was promoted!

Normal fruits were able to maintain in the preservation cabinet and would unlikely be spoil for at least a month!

He looked at the mushrooms again.

Saliva was about to drip from his mouth.

However, the two codonopsis pilosula and fungus were overlooked by him because he had never eaten them before.

He picked up the bag, sat down at the counter, and continued to drink the tea.

“That customer is really too polite…”

“Next time if she comes again, I have to prepare a gift for her!”

After all, books are less likely to worth much!

Just like today, the three books only added up to approximately 200 yuan!

On the other hand, the gift from her was probably worth more than just tea leaves.

Ling Pingan did not like to owe people favors!

As he thought of himself as a gentleman.

A gentleman talked about fairness and believed in equality.

Just like what Confucius said, return kindness with kindness!

“Doesn’t she like cosplay?” Ling Pingan thought, “How about I prepare a set of cosplay props for her?”

He recalled the customer’s costume and said, “She would like those female superheroes or fairies in anime…”

The other party had always worn a tight black costume with a short blade.

She must had Wuxia or Xianxia fantasies.

MHM!

It was a happy decision!

Ling Pingan took out his phone, clicked on the shopping website, and began to browse through.

The dazzling array of products instantly dazzled his eyes!

… … … … ..

Han Li held Xiao Ai’s hand and walked to the edge of the fog.

With one step, they appeared in the deserted streets under the starry sky.

She gently held the two books in her hands.

“Let’s find a place and train for a few days…” Han Li suggested to Xiao Ai.

“Okay…” Xiao Ai agreed and nodded.

She also needed to find a quiet place to understand the last few days of her father’s life.
