Seeing that she agreed, the Heavenly Dao hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, don't worry. If even you can't do it, then it's the fate of all living things in this world. I understand. After all, you care about so many people in this world and want to protect so many people. You will definitely do your best to help."
"Of course, I will do my best to help you during this time. But the premise is that you need to quickly earn more merit to help me restore my physical form. After all, my physical form can do much more than my illusory form."
As Qiqi listened, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
Not only does he use emotional blackmail to coerce her, but he also uses empty promises to motivate her to work, which is clearly a form of exposing her true nature.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth!" Heavenly Dao quickly coaxed, "Once I regain my physical form, I can give you some special treatment within the rules. With your abilities, you'll definitely be able to earn a lot of merit much faster. Then, improving your cultivation and helping me repair the laws of Heaven will be a piece of cake."
"Besides, with your increased strength, you can better protect your family, right? And what about your little brother Jiu? He made a pact with the Demon Chief for you, selling his body. Don't you want to help him break the rules of the pact and save him from this predicament? Only when I regain my physical form can I help you do all of this..."
As Tiandao became more and more excited, he was talking non-stop when the tightly closed bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a cool voice came from the side of the door.
"Are you using me to morally blackmail Qiqi?"
Tiandao was startled and turned to look at the door.
Snap!
The bedroom light was turned on, and a little boy in a wheelchair slid in.
He glanced at the illusory figure suspended in the air, then at Qiqi, and beckoned the little girl over.
Qiqi ran over and sat on Huo Yusen's lap, staring at him with her big eyes. "Little Jiu, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I was about to go to sleep, but I heard people talking in your room, so I came to check on you."
Huo Yusen gently patted the little girl's head, but when he looked up at the phantom in mid-air, his eyes turned cold and sharp, like a sword. "You actually tricked a little girl like you into risking your life for you, taking advantage of her young age, and you even have to say it in such a high-sounding way?"
Tiandao choked, realizing he had been too careless, failing to even notice someone approaching.
But he put on a stern face, trying to project some authority, "You little brat, how can you talk like that? What do you mean I lied to her? I explained the reasons to her in detail, how is that lying?"
"That's not necessarily true! The art of language lies in skillfully concealing wit and subtleties within seemingly trivial details, making it even more unpredictable. After all, there are plenty of people who disrespect their elders!"
Huo Yusen was not intimidated by the power of the Heavenly Dao at all, and did not want to waste time with him. He spoke directly, "Since we've come this far, if you want Qiqi to do things for you, let's talk about the benefits of doing this first!"
Upon hearing that he actually wanted more benefits, Tiandao almost jumped up.
"What? I gave her her life, what more do you want in return?"
"Did Qiqi ask you to give her this life? You made a decision for her without her consent. What, do you expect her to be grateful to you?"
Huo Yusen wasn't led by the nose at all and directly saw through his little scheme, "Besides, you gave Qiqi life so that she could do things for you!"
"Yes, yes!"
Heaven was so angry that even its beard stood on end.
That brat! She was just being clever and haggling with him.
Now that someone has arrived, they immediately turn into clueless, ignorant children.
They managed to get it installed for her!
Tiandao was so angry he couldn't speak. He realized that this brat had come to support the little girl.
They probably haven't been standing outside quietly for a long time, heard anything, and now they're here working together with the little girl, trying to squeeze more money out of him!
The little girl has taken three things from him and hasn't fulfilled them yet. These two seem to be cunning little foxes, and I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with.
Seeing that he didn't speak and his eyes kept moving around, I wondered what he was thinking.
Huo Yusen winked at Qiqi before speaking dismissively, "If you don't want to agree, fine. What does the world's fate have to do with Qiqi anyway? With Qiqi's abilities, protecting the people she wants to protect is a piece of cake. As for other people's lives, why should a three-year-old girl like her care!"
After saying that, he took the little girl's hand and led her outside.
The wheelchair rolled across the ground without stopping at all, seemingly unconcerned.
If it were someone else, Heaven might have doubted whether these words were a lie.
But the person in front of him is a ruthless individual who dared to make a deal with the Demon Chief at such a young age. It's perfectly normal for him not to care about the lives of people outside his jurisdiction.
Once he understood this, Heaven panicked. "Halt! If you want to negotiate, you should at least state your conditions first!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yusen's lips curled into a smile.
But in an instant, he regained his expressionless look, took Qiqi's hand, and turned around.
"Our conditions are simple: Qiqi can do as you say, diligently cultivate, and accumulate merit to help you restore and establish the Heavenly Dao rules. However, Qiqi can also disregard any rules and do whatever she wants!"
Upon hearing this, Tiandao glared at him, about to deny it.
Then Huo Yusen said again, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Don't spout nonsense like saying that the rules of Heaven cannot be defied and that allowing Qiqi to exist outside the rules will cause a disaster sooner or later!"
"You chose Qiqi to take on this heavy responsibility, which means you must have observed and considered her from all angles to ensure that she meets your requirements in terms of both talent and character, and can act according to your wishes. Naturally, even if you give Qiqi absolute privileges, she won't do anything too outrageous!"
"In your current state, you can't offer her much help. The only thing you can do is give her special privileges outside the rules to help her grow as quickly as possible! This is beneficial to both your plans and Qiqi's!"
Heaven's Way: ...
This kid clearly came prepared!
His behavior made him suspicious that he might have known all along that Qiqi was coming to see him and had planned to negotiate with him in order to be so logical!
Tiandao looked at Huo Yusen with suspicion, as if trying to see through his behavior to discern who was truly in charge at that moment.
After all, this kid has his number one natural enemy living inside him!
Unfortunately, the little boy's expression was too calm and composed, so you couldn't tell at all.
The Heavenly Dao gritted its teeth, "What you said does make sense, but..."
