Chapter 238 Happy Cooperation
After a series of "friendly" exchanges, Li Muhan reached a consensus with the woman.
"Although I do have many complaints about you, I have to admit that you hold everything in my hands now, hiccup—"
Although the woman's words were polite, her eyes were filled with resentment.
Li Muhan had just forced him to drink a whole can of beer. His face was slightly red and he was hiccuping while talking.
Li Muhan didn't expect that this legendary great devil and archangel could not drink so much.
"You can make requests of me, and I will fulfill them, of course, within a reasonable range. For example, Baal wants me to repair his soul. What about you? Do you want me to remove all your seals?"
After hearing what Li Muhan said, the woman sneered.
"Do you really think Baal considers you a companion? He is simply using you. Do not trust the devil, Your Highness."
"For the sake of common interests, it's okay to trust me temporarily. Besides, you shouldn't have the idea of stealing my body anymore, right?"
Li Muhan looked at Lucifer with a smile.
He had thought that his communication with Lucifer would be even more awkward.
But I didn't expect it to be so easy.
These demons are not unreasonable, but they can abandon all morals in the face of absolute interests.
If Bal's enemy and Li Muhan were placed in front of Bal now and asked to make a choice.
Kill Li Muhan, restore his soul, and then have a big fight with the enemy.
Or stand on Li Muhan's side, let the enemy go temporarily, and wait for Li Muhan to repair his soul.
Li Muhan believed that Bal would choose the former without hesitation. This is the devil, and this is absolute interest.
"I will not rob your body again, Your Highness. At least, I cannot do it in this temple."
The woman smiled, as if she remembered the man in the suit holding the wind chime. The wind chime in the man’s hand was like a blessing, a blessing from God, which made her feel miserable.
"You are right. We don't need to fight to the death. However... Your Highness, besides releasing me from my seal, I hope to have another request."
"Tell me about it."
Li Muhan frowned. He didn't expect that this woman would bargain.
Then he remembered what he had looked up on the Internet about Lucifer. This fallen angel was best at showing his best side in front of humans, and then using sweet words to make humans develop a fanatical worship for him.
Li Muhan originally thought that Lucifer would state some conditions that would make him very embarrassed, so when Lucifer stated his requirements, Li Muhan thought he had heard it wrong.
"I want to...see the world as it is now."
"?"
Li Muhan was slightly stunned, and then said.
"What do you mean? Look at the world right now? Can't you see it through my eyes?"
The woman shook her head gently, her eyes deep and mysterious, as if containing endless stories.
"My eyes are still bound by numerous seals. I can only rely on a faint sense to distantly perceive your experiences in the human world. But that little perception is far too weak for me. I have been trapped in this lonely cage for countless years... to be exact, a thousand years."
Hearing this, Li Muhan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Come on, stop talking nonsense to me. I've only just turned twenty, and you're saying I've been imprisoned inside you for thousands of years?"
However, the woman remained unmoved. She simply replied calmly, "Your Highness, you may not know the secrets of this temple. Time flows completely differently here than in the outside world; here, time is practically stagnant. Although your life in the mortal world has only been twenty years, for us demons trapped here, awaiting awakening, that long wait feels like a veritable millennium. Of course, time truly began to flow here the moment you discovered this temple."
This was the first time Li Muhan knew about this.
He couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Bal, who was like a stunned fool slumped in a chair, muttering to himself.
If he really has been isolated on the throne for thousands of years... then this blow is indeed a huge one for him.
And this woman is not much better off. Renbal at least has a chair, but this guy has been hanging in the air for thousands of years. No wonder he is so resentful.
"Let me tell you what I'm going to do first. I won't let you take over the number."
"Top number...?"
The woman tilted her head in confusion and looked at Li Muhan in bewilderment.
"It means I won't let you take over my body."
"Please rest assured, as long as you remove the seal on my eyes, I will use your eyes to observe the world without occupying your body."
Li Muhan pondered for a moment. After all, if he wanted to cooperate with her, he would eventually have to lift all the restrictions imposed on her. It was just a matter of time.
However, he was intrigued by her curiosity and asked her, "So, you are very interested in the human world?"
The woman smiled, with a hint of self-mockery, and slowly raised her head.
"Your Highness, if you were like me, having spent thousands of years in prison, you would naturally be curious about the outside world. Human society today has undergone tremendous changes compared to the past. I never imagined they could create such a confinement technique... But all this is now in the past and no longer matters. You mentioned using my flame to forge weapons. That's a brilliant idea indeed. That craftsman has a unique vision."
"...You don't have to be so pedantic. How about we just communicate directly?" Li Muhan couldn't help but interrupt her old-fashioned words.
Li Muhan scratched his head.
In response, the woman leaned forward slightly and responded politely, "I'm very sorry, Your Highness. I understand. I will try to avoid it in the future." Although her words still maintained a certain rhythm, they were obviously less complicated than before.
Although the woman was extremely respectful and polite to Li Muhan at this moment, he did not relax his vigilance against this demon in the slightest.
He nodded slightly at her, then continued, "Which means I can now safely use your power."
He nodded slightly.
"All power is at your disposal."
The other party replied without hesitation.
"...Then the deal between us is done."
As soon as Li Muhan finished speaking, he could already feel a burning power originating from the abyss of purgatory beginning to spread in his body. Obviously, the woman did not lie or play any tricks in this matter.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Lingying sitting on a chair not far in front of him, her signature smile still on her face. However, Li Muhan's gaze did not linger on her, but was immediately attracted by Xia Yue, who was wrapped in a thin blanket.
".....What happened? Where are your clothes?"
"...I just went for a swim and lost my clothes."
"Ah? You still like skinny-dipping? But why do you lose your clothes when you swim skinny-dipping?"
"...Will you please just shut up and stop asking questions."
Xia Yue wrapped herself in the blanket again, turned her head away, and her face flushed slightly.
