After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 145

145~ Private Conversation~

"If it weren't for Princess Mo, who would care about you?"

Xiyan said with pursed lips.

"Whatever, as long as Princess Mo is fine. Since you're awake too, let's go see Princess Mo together."

"Mm."

This time she didn't put on a disgusted expression again. After getting up and tidying her clothes, she pulled Xiyan along to go to the room where Xuan was being restrained.

"Look, Princess Mo is inside, but the one controlling Princess Mo's body right now isn't Princess Mo herself, but rather the Evil God who's been residing in Princess Mo's body all along."

The Maid Xiao Xi remained silent. She knew how much destruction the divine miracles sent down by the Evil God could cause to this world.

Pushing open the door, she could only see the little Princess with both hands and feet already tied up... or should she say the Evil God? And the Empress sitting directly across from her.

Wait, wasn't the Empress busy dealing with post-war matters on Scarlet Phoenix Nation's side? How was it that after she woke from one sleep, the Empress had come to Glaze Nation's side again?

"Um, Your Majesty, how is Princess Mo?"

"Can't communicate. Can only restrain her first."

Honestly, she was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that one day she could actually restrain an Evil God. You had to know, this was an existence recorded in history books as capable of instantly destroying a city!

The Evil God's might far exceeded that of a Great Archmage. It could be said that even the most inferior Evil God wasn't something a mere Great Archmage could compare to.

In her current state, clearly as an Evil God she could easily break free from these restraints, but this Evil God residing in the little Princess's body unexpectedly hadn't released divine miracles to break free.

She didn't know why. Clearly she just needed to use divine miracles to directly break free, even directly kill all of them on their side.

"Princess?"

Xuan looked up once, then continued lowering her head.

She was waiting, waiting for Gong to come find her.

The Empress could forget it. She was afraid that if she said something she shouldn't to the Empress in a moment, it would make the little Princess even angrier at her.

"Speak. Tell me your purpose. Why did you choose Mo?"

"..."

Xuan was still the same as before, not saying a single word, just sitting there quietly.

The Empress felt her fists harden. Ever since she ascended the throne and became Empress, this was the first time she'd encountered someone who gave her such a headache.

If it were before, if she couldn't get answers, she would have directly used interrogation methods. But this time the target was an Evil God. Her methods were extremely likely to be completely useless. Moreover, the body was the little Princess's. As her Imperial Consort, she absolutely couldn't do things that would harm the little Princess's body.

So there probably really was no other better way to pry open this Evil God's mouth.

She guessed this Evil God probably also didn't want to harm the little Princess's body, but the specific reason why, she didn't know.

Although the little Princess had expressed before that that Evil God had reached some consensus with her, she felt that since it was an Evil God, her words were absolutely untrustworthy. After all, Evil Gods, no matter where, represented the existence of ultimate evil.

"What happened to my daughter?"

The late-arriving Gong pushed open the room door. The Empress inside was already covered in black lines.

After Xuan saw Gong arrive, she finally raised her head to stare at him and spoke:

"I want to talk with you alone."

"Is there something that can't be said to us?"

The Empress became somewhat interested. She wanted to know what exactly this Evil God had to say that must be said to the King of Glaze Nation.

"I just don't want to harm Mo Mo's body. That doesn't mean I can't kill you directly right now."

As she spoke, Xuan coldly stared at the Empress, her body emanating divine power.

This was a power one level higher than magic power, also a power that humans of this world couldn't comprehend.

An eerie feeling spread throughout her body. The Empress felt like a little girl lost in the forest, being targeted by a tiger.

A sense of crisis covered every inch of skin on her body. Every cell was transmitting information to her to run away.

The other people's feelings were the same.

No one present doubted Xuan's words anymore.

The loli maid Xiyan thought about how she'd pinned down Xuan yesterday and bullied her... Now thinking about it, she felt she'd already taken a trip through the gates of hell!

However, she could probably count as the first person in this world to bully an Evil God, right?

"Alright, let me chat with Her alone."

The Empress very tactfully quietly withdrew. Xiyan and Xiao Xi did the same.

After only the two of them remained in the room, Gong untied the ropes restraining Xuan.

"Speak. What is your purpose for entering my daughter's body? I can satisfy you as much as possible, as long as you don't harm my daughter."

"I already said, I won't harm Mo Mo. I'm talking with you alone just to let you know that if Mo Mo goes to the Western Region, there's a very high probability she'll die."

"My daughter will die?"

"So that's why I came to stop Mo Mo from going to the Western Region."

"Then can you tell me the reason?"

He was probably already eighty percent convinced of what Xuan said.

"There are many dangers in the Western Region of this continent. There are many existences like me, and moreover in an awakened state, unlike here where the vast majority are in a sleeping state."

"You mean Evil Gods?"

"Correction: I'm a proper deity, not some Evil God!"

"Proper deity?"

This somewhat shattered his understanding.

He only knew that currently on the continent, whether the Eastern Region or Western Region, deities were classified into two types. One type was deities representing all the beauty in the world. This type of deity all had unique appellations, like "God of XX."

The other type was Evil Gods. Without any unique appellations, uniformly called Evil Gods, representing deities of ultimate evil.

"Who on earth taught you to use such a fundamentally inaccurate way to divide the good and evil of deities!?"

Xuan said huffily, making a fierce expression, attempting to use this to make herself look more intimidating. But she forgot that no matter what, this body would only make others see her as very cute.

So, from Gong's perspective, it was probably just his daughter's cute angry appearance, except the inside wasn't his daughter.

"Give some reaction, human."

"Sorry, spaced out for a moment."

Gong adjusted his mindset slightly and continued:

"Throughout history, in any era, the distinction of deities has always been like this. I'm very sorry I viewed you with conventional thinking."

"It's fine. Anyway, as long as you remember what I said from now on. Viewing the good and evil of deities by the manifestation of divinity is a very foolish thing."

"I've learned."

Gong bowed slightly.

He felt this was nothing. According to what Xuan said, Xuan was already at a living fossil level of age. Even Xuan herself didn't remember how long she'd lived.

"So, remember this: you absolutely cannot let Mo Mo go to the Western Region. If those gods sense I's aura on Mo Mo, Mo Mo will very likely die."

She said seriously.
