Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 745 - 92 Li Xiaoyu’s Wish
745: Chapter 92: Li Xiaoyu’s Wish
745 -92: Li Xiaoyu’s Wish
The Milky Way Deity had died.
Bai Shuang mourned in silence, and for the first time in hundreds of years, she showed such a frail and helpless demeanor.
Tang Xian also felt a wave of sadness, but his emotions were still stable.
The Xuan Bird watched all this, and Tang Xian said,
“You can return to the mining area and inform the Judge of these matters.
This intelligence is extremely important to it, and it might even pardon you.
You can still be the Judgment Chief.”
The Xuan Bird scoffed,
[You needn’t test me anymore.
The Milky Way Deity saved me before his death.
Although I do not like humans, I know to repay kindness.]
Tang Xian said,
“In the days to come, you must guard Baichuan City well.”
[I intend to deal with the Judge.]
“That’s not something you can confront now.
The Judge has also left measures within the Pyramid.
You must continue living as you did before, treating the outskirts of Baichuan City like a sacred mountain—patrolling and resting as usual.”
Tang Xian then turned his head towards Bai Shuang,
“Elder Bai Shuang, the same goes for you.
Although the Judge dares not come personally, nor does it dare to send beasts to startle the snakes in the grass, it is suspicious by nature.
It will certainly send creatures adept at sensing, similar to the Spirit Hidden, to come here.
I consider my own sensing abilities not weak, and so long as I am here, I will eliminate any risks.
But during this process, Elder Bai Shuang, you must also act as per usual, and your attitude towards anyone must not change in the slightest.”
Tang Xian knew that Li Xiaoyu and Bai Shuang had grown close, after all, it was something he had arranged.
As for how far this human-deer relationship had evolved, Tang Xian was unsure.
This matter pertained to the safety of Baichuan City, and what Tang Xian thought was that even Li Xiaoyu must not be made aware of it.
He also couldn’t falsely proclaim that Baichuan City had a divine beast’s protection.
To deceive the Judge, any deviation from the usual would, to it, seem like an excessive correction intended to confuse, while keeping everything as normal would be the most convincing.
Bai Shuang nodded and said,
“I will tell you what you need to know, but there’s no rush these days.
You still have more pressing matters to attend to.”
Tang Xian hadn’t been back to Baichuan City in a while and was unaware of any changes there, but he could sense under his olfactory coverage that Baichuan City had expanded and renovated considerably, preparing to accommodate more people.
But what could be more important than learning some secrets of the Milky Way Deity right now?
“What matter?”
“Baichuan City will soon welcome many people.”
“I am aware of that.”
“Among them are relatives of that girl.”
Tang Xian was surprised and pleased, although surprise outweighed his pleasure.
For Li Xiaoyu to have developed such a relationship with Bai Shuang, to the extent that Bai Shuang deemed Li Xiaoyu’s affairs to be of utmost urgency, truly surprised Tang Xian.
How did Li Xiaoyu manage that?
He couldn’t find Bai Shuang’s weakness; after much effort, he discovered it might be food, only to find that she had maxed out her culinary skills.
Tang Xian was indeed astounded, but also delighted.
However, his joy did not last long as, following Bai Shuang’s words, Tang Xian soon deduced many issues.
“If the Li family appears in Baichuan City…
it would mean that the Pyramid’s ruling system has undergone significant changes.
It would mean that Song Que’s status has been restored.”
Bai Shuang nodded, quite satisfied with Tang Xian’s deductive skills.
Tang Xian continued,
“This is good news, but not everything can be positive.
If Li Wanye doesn’t sacrifice his car to save his marshal, it might be impossible for the Li family to retain their former status in Baichuan City.”
Bai Shuang said,
“You are very clever.
It’s no wonder that girl likes you, her judgment is not that bad.”
Tang Xian actually wanted to know if Bai Shuang knew anything about his parents?
But he still restrained himself.
“I will go to Baichuan City to meet her shortly, Elder Bai Shuang.
The remains of Elder Milky Way…”
“No need for burial.
As you said, there is no way to bury him.
He taught me some Space-Time Skills over the centuries, and I can maintain the appearance of the flowers and plants around us.
His body will not decay.
He…
his greatest fear in life was looking bad, and in death, it’s the same.”
Tang Xian was silent, unable to ignore the sadness and love in Bai Shuang’s eyes, and he could naturally imagine what a blow this day had been for her.
“Because of my oversight…”
“Enough of that, you needn’t blame yourself for this matter.
You must promise me one thing.”
“Please tell me.”
“Kill the Judge.”
“I will get it done.”
“Good, with that, I will have nothing to complain about.
The clues about the ancient beast gods, I have discovered some during my travels around the world in these years, but you will need to explore the specifics.
I will inform you of these matters once you have dealt with things in Baichuan City.”
Bai Shuang gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, gazing lovingly at the Milky Way Deity.
Tang Xian merely nodded and did not speak anymore.
Some time later, he left the cave so as not to disturb Bai Shuang and headed towards Baichuan City.
…
…
The sky suddenly turned from day to night.
For the people of Baichuan City, it was an exceedingly strange occurrence.
Tang Feiji, Qing JiuYu, and Bai Mansheng all sensed an unusual aura, but the aura vanished quickly.
The Causality Domain and the Time Reversal Domain were among the most elite powers within the rule system, capable of isolating all beastly auras.
Yet even so, the pressure brought by the arrival of the Judge at that moment reached far to the outskirts of Baichuan City.
However, neither dragons nor snakes, foxes nor foxes, made any rash moves.
They simply guarded the eastern outskirts of Baichuan City, never straying.
Only when the sky was completely pitch black and deep into the night did they see a figure, walking at an unhurried pace amidst the darkness.
