Having heard this much of the story, Lu Qing probably already understood.
In her past life, she was sacrificed to seal away the tyrannical king, and in this life, she is still unable to change her fate.
“Master, you knew all along that the appearance of the evil energy was because the Wrathful King was about to break the seal, why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Lu Qing asked.
Yu Hengzi sighed and said:
"Qingqing, you're only nineteen years old. It's unbearable for your master to make you endure all this at such a young age!"
"I was planning to tell you after I found a solution that would satisfy both sides, but I didn't expect that the tyrannical king would come directly to you."
Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips and said:
There is no perfect solution in the world; it's just a matter of choosing which one to sacrifice.
"If saving humanity is my destiny, then what's wrong with being the savior again!"
Yu Hengzi: "What about that kid Gu Xicheng? If you're gone, how can he live?"
Lu Qing raised the corners of her mouth and smiled:
"If you can't live, then die with me! At worst, we can be a ghost couple. Anyway, the King of Hell in the underworld and I are quite familiar with each other."
"What if the soul is scattered?" Yu Hengzi frowned slightly.
"The last time you were able to retain a wisp of your soul for reincarnation was because the magic array was only for repairing the vessel, but this time it's to eliminate the Wrathful King, and it's very likely that your soul will be completely destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing showed no fear whatsoever.
"It's okay, at least my family and friends will survive."
"If I can't survive, then I'll just die and be reincarnated. After drinking a bowl of Meng Po soup, they'll forget me and start a new life. Isn't that good?"
Yu Hengzi: "..." There's nothing wrong with what he said, but it just sounds awkward!
"You little rascal, you really have a positive outlook!" Yu Hengzi couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Qing: "So what if you can't figure it out? Things still need to be done. You might as well cherish these last moments."
“Don’t be so pessimistic. Your master has been researching a way to achieve both goals for so long, and he has finally gained something,” Yu Hengzi said.
"What did you find?" Lu Qing asked.
Yu Hengzi smiled mysteriously:
I won't tell you; you'll find out at the very last moment.
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Yu Hengzi:
"Master, please don't think about sacrificing others to save me. One punishment from Heaven is enough. You can't subject me to another punishment."
"Don't worry! It won't happen!" Yu Hengzi said firmly.
Lu Qing reluctantly believed him.
"Master, would you like to come up for a seat? Or would you like to go home and find your wife?"
Yu Hengzi: "Of course I'm going to continue coaxing your master's wife!"
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Yu Hengzi finished his coffee in one gulp, waved, and left the company.
Lu Qing watched his retreating figure and let out a soft sigh. After composing herself, she looked back at Xicheng's office.
When Lu Qing returned, Gu Xicheng was not there. She went to the conference room to take a look and found that he was indeed in a meeting.
Lu Qing didn't go in to disturb them, and went back to her office to lie down and play games.
I reckon she won't live much longer, so let's enjoy ourselves while we can!
Lu Qing fell asleep while playing the game.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but in her hazy state, she felt someone watching her, so she slowly opened her eyes.
It's Gu Xicheng!
He half-squatted beside the sofa, looking at himself, but his eyes held a strange expression.
Lu Qing rubbed her eyes, and after regaining her senses, she immediately realized that the person in front of her was not Gu Xicheng, but the deity.
Lu Qing's eyes instantly turned wary, and she asked in a cold voice:
"How come you've taken over Gu Xicheng's body again?"
The deity said, “I did not trap him. He is resting. I will return his body to him when he wakes up.”
Lu Qing: "Why were you looking at me like that?"
The deity gazed at Lu Qing's face, as if looking through her at someone else.
"Lately, a figure keeps flashing through my mind. She looks a lot like you, but she doesn't look like you. I want to know who she is."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but sneer:
"Isn't it said that gods are unmoved by emotions? How come you're still thinking about a girl? Could it be someone you once had a crush on?"
The deity frowned immediately, his voice soft yet sharp as he spoke:
"Gods are unmoved by emotions, and they certainly don't have any beloved!"
Lu Qing sneered:
"A coward who dares to do something but not to take responsibility!"
"Are you talking about me?" The god frowned, looking at Lu Qing, and asked:
"You must know something about her, right?"
Lu Qing didn't hide anything and admitted it directly:
"Yes! I not only know who she is, but I also know why she appears in your mind, but why should I tell you? Do you deserve to know the truth?"
"You resent me because of that girl?" A hint of confusion flashed in the god's eyes.
"Why? What did I do to her?"
"It's nothing. You just didn't choose her. It's not wrong, but it's not right either," Lu Qing said coldly.
"She wasn't chosen!" The god frowned, pondering the meaning behind Lu Qing's words.
Suddenly, some unfamiliar images flashed through my mind.
The girl's face gradually became clearer.
The god's eyes suddenly widened, and he slowly uttered three words: "Helian Qing!"
"You remembered?" Lu Qing asked coldly, narrowing his eyes.
The deity shook his head slightly: "I can't remember."
Lu Qing rolled her eyes at him speechlessly:
"It's best if you can't remember; it would be a sin to remember!"
If possible, Lu Qingzhen really wanted to mend the threads of affection that damned deity had for him, to make him remember that memory, and to make him feel guilty and repent.
But then I thought, this guy was able to personally sever his ties of love with Helian Qing and push her to her death when he was in love with her, so even if he remembered it, he probably wouldn't feel guilty at all.
Let's keep him in the dark!
Seeing that Lu Qing was unwilling to speak, the deity did not continue to press him.
He dared not harbor any murderous intent towards Lu Qing now, because if she died, there would truly be no one left to eliminate the Wrathful King.
For the sake of all living beings, the gods will no longer kill Lu Qing.
Just then, Gu Xicheng was about to wake up, and the god returned control of his body to him.
Gu Xicheng slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his soul had had enough sleep, but his body was still a little tired.
"It's like I didn't sleep at all!"
Gu Xicheng rubbed his neck.
Lu Qing smiled and stepped forward to massage his shoulders.
The soul is asleep, but the body has been squatting by the sofa for who knows how long. No wonder it's tired!
Gu Xicheng grabbed Lu Qing's hand with one hand and pulled her into his arms with the other around her waist:
"What did you just talk to Master about? Why did you take so long?"
Lu Qing: "My master told me a story."
"What story?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Lu Qing: "A story about a poor young girl who was deceived by a scumbag and even lost her life."
Gu Xicheng raised an eyebrow: "So melodramatic?"
"Yes! Luckily you're different from him!"
Lu Qing put her arms around Gu Xicheng's neck and kissed him on the cheek.
In Gu Xicheng's mind, the god frowned slightly. He suspected that Lu Qing was talking about him when she called him a scumbag, but when had he ever lied to a girl?
Who exactly is Helian Qing? And what is his connection to me?
The deity vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something!
