Chapter 471 Obtaining the Demon Core
Knowing this, Lu Qing grasped the weakness of the human-bodied, dragon-headed god.
"If you could go to the human world, you wouldn't be stuck here, not even knowing how the human world has developed."
The human-bodied, dragon-headed god had no rebuttal and could only snort angrily through his nose.
"So, can we sit down now and properly discuss the terms?"
Lu Qing glanced at the slightly softened expression on the face of the human-bodied, dragon-headed god, and calmly said:
"Actually, there are many things in our human world that taste better than these!"
For example, sliced and marinated meat, grilled until sizzling and dripping with oil, can be served with garlic slices and kimchi wrapped in lettuce. The result is meat that is fragrant but not greasy.
There's also spicy hot pot. After cooking the beef, dip it in minced garlic and sesame oil for a spicy and satisfying experience.
And then there's my favorite dessert, mochi. It's icy cold with a hint of sweetness, and the chewy outer layer is filled with fruit-infused cream—it's rich and delicious.
There's also hot pot with mutton, roast duck, hairy crab, and old duck vermicelli soup..."
"Stop talking!"
The god with a human body and a dragon's head was drooling so much that it was practically flowing like a river.
Lu Qing looked at him with a grin:
"If you agree, I'll bring all these delicious foods in so you can eat your fill."
"There's no internet here, but I can download TV series to my tablet so you can eat or watch TV whenever you want."
"Just think about all this delicious food and TV dramas. Trading one of your demon cores for them isn't too much to ask, is it?"
"You are already a ten-thousand-year-old demon, and the demon core is of little use to you. Even without the demon core, you will still be the boss here."
"If I were you, I would trade this useless thing for delicious food without hesitation!"
Under Lu Qing's repeated temptations, the human-bodied, dragon-headed god finally relented.
"Okay! I agree!"
"Go and get me some food right now, and I'll give you the demon core."
"Deal!" Lu Qing smiled and gave the human-bodied, dragon-headed god a high five.
"However, it's quite troublesome for us to go back; you'll probably have to wait a couple of days!"
"No trouble at all, I'll see you off!"
Having said that, the human-bodied, dragon-headed god plucked two dragon scales from his own body and handed them to them:
"My power is contained within this. With this, you can freely travel through space."
"Even after I give you the demon core, you can't stop sending me food, at least once a month. Do you agree?"
Gu Xicheng nodded: "That's no problem!"
Although the human-bodied, dragon-headed deity had a large appetite, the Gu family was wealthy enough to satisfy him.
If all else fails, we can take some gold items from here and sell them; that would be enough for him to live on for several months.
After discussing it, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng held each other's hands and used the power of the scales to travel through space and return to Kyoto.
Gu Xicheng directly contacted several supermarket suppliers and some restaurants, ordering a large quantity of fast food, snacks, and other dishes, which filled two trucks.
After finishing, the two contacted the dragon-headed god through the scales, asking him to transport the items himself.
After all, they couldn't possibly deliver so many things to the immortal mountain all at once.
Upon seeing the delicious food, the human-bodied, dragon-headed god readily handed over his demon core.
"Don't forget, you'll have to send me this every month from now on, or I'll kill you all even if my soul leaves my body!"
Gu Xicheng: "Don't worry! We mean what we say!"
After obtaining the demon core, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing rushed to Tianji Sect without stopping.
After the power of the demon core was injected into Liu Manyun's body, the backlash began to disappear.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"At this rate, the backlash in Manyun's body will be completely eliminated in three days at most!" Liu Mosheng said excitedly.
Lu Qing couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.
The terrible things are finally over.
After two days of travel, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng went back and got a good night's sleep.
The next day, Lu Qing returned to school, and Gu Xicheng returned to the company; their lives returned to normal once again.
A month later, around the time of Xiaoman (the 8th solar term), Zhao Jin's child was born.
That day, the weather was fine and the air was fresh. Everyone within a ten-mile radius of the baby felt inexplicably cheerful.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng told Liu Changfeng and Zhao Jin about Xi Yao and Jing Xuanzhu's reincarnation.
Zhao Jin immediately agreed to let Lu Qing be the child's teacher and help them purify the world.
Lu Qing was forced into the role and reluctantly became the master.
The child was named Xi Yao, just like in her previous life, Liu Xi Yao.
Under Lu Qing's tutelage, the first words Liu Xiyao uttered were neither "Dad" nor "Mom," but a purification mantra.
...
Two years later.
Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing led Liu Xiyao and Yin Lili, who were not yet three years old, into the Heavenly Heart Bottle.
Yin Lili hugged Liu Xiyao and followed closely behind the two people in front.
"Where is this place? It's weirdly eerie!"
Lu Qing: "The Heavenly Heart Bottle is where the Wrathful King was sealed before."
Yin Lili shrank her neck in fright:
"How long has it been? Why are you here?"
"Of course, it's so that Xi Yao can try controlling the Pure Profound Pearl," Lu Qing said with a smile.
Yin Lili sighed helplessly, her face contorted in a grimace.
Upon arriving at the big locust tree, little Liu Xiyao suddenly seemed like a different person, breaking free from Yin Lili's embrace and walking over with her short legs.
Standing in front of the old locust tree for a long time, her two chubby little hands suddenly began to form hand seals.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng exchanged a glance, then stepped aside.
Yin Lili's eyes widened, as if summoned by something, and her body moved over involuntarily.
She radiated a holy light, and before long, a bead flew out of her body and landed above the Heavenly Heart Bottle.
A holy radiance descended, and the malevolent energy within the Heavenly Heart Bottle was purified at a visible speed.
Yin Lili was shocked.
Two years ago, when Lu Qinggang found her and told her that she was the reincarnation of some kind of bead, she didn't believe it.
She thought to herself, "I'm just a little chubby, how did I become a bead?"
Now she believes it!
There really is a bead inside her body!
After the purification process ended, Liu Xiyao fainted.
Lu Qing rushed over and picked her up.
After checking her over and confirming that she was just unconscious, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"She's still too young. Using purification techniques takes a lot of mental effort. Once she's older, she can practice more and it won't be a problem."
After confirming that Liu Xiyao could indeed use the Purifying Pearl, they were relieved.
It will be at least another hundred years before the Heavenly Heart Bottle needs another purification.
For the past hundred years, they no longer have to worry about the Li Clan causing harm to humanity.
After sending Liu Xiyao back to Liu Changfeng and Zhao Jin's home, Lu Qing rushed back to school to attend the graduation ceremony.
"Qingqing, why are you only just getting back? Come here quickly!"
Cheng Yiyi and the others reserved a spot for Lu Qing.
After taking graduation photos, everyone went to find their good friends to take group photos.
But Lu Qing was dragged into a car by her four roommates and Liu Manyun.
Where are you taking me?
You'll find out soon enough.
Gu Fei also blindfolded Lu Qing.
Lu Qing vaguely guessed what was going on, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
