Chapter 2 I said I am your long-lost wife
The first crack in Zhuohuo's motionless bloodshot eyes was one of pure "not understanding".
He spoke slowly, his voice like the cracking of ten thousand year old ice, sounding inhuman, echoing in the dead silence of the divine prison.
"Husband?"
These two words are not questions, but more like mimicking, like repeating words that you don’t understand.
But this simple repetition was like a ray of light from heaven, splitting the darkness above Zheng Qiuyu's head!
She made the right bet!
first step!
Zheng Qiuyu's desire to live overwhelmed the fear in his bones.
She knew that every second the god woke up was a second for her to survive.
Ten minutes, just ten minutes!
He cannot be given space to think and react. He has to use a bigger lie to cover up the previous one and use overwhelming emotions to drown out that blank space!
She used her hands and feet to drag her chained body and threw herself to the edge of the stone platform regardless of anything. The cold chain cut deeper into her wrists, leaving blood marks.
Tears, like beads that have broken off the string, fall freely.
On that pale face, the fear of losing something turned into ecstasy of regaining what was lost. It was the grievance of waiting for ten thousand years and the thought deep in the bones.
"Husband!"
The voice was trembling, with a crying tone, and was particularly clear.
"You don't remember me? I'm Qiuyu!"
"I'm your wife, Zheng Qiuyu!"
She cried and screamed, each word sounding like she was crying out for her life.
"You were imprisoned in this pitch-black Guixu Divine Prison by those fake immortal sects. I... I've been searching for you for a full ten thousand years!"
Zheng Qiuyu's mind raced as she turned the pitiful background in the book into her and his "past".
Her eyes were fixed on the jade pendant hanging on her chest.
The only decent thing on the original owner was an ordinary piece of jade and the carving was also average.
But at this moment, it is the most special thing in the world!
She held up the jade pendant with trembling hands and showed it to Zhuohuo, her eyes full of treasure and longing.
"Have you forgotten what we agreed upon beneath the Chaos Green Lotus?"
"You even put this 'heart-to-heart pendant' on me yourself. You said that seeing the pendant is like seeing you!"
"You also said that after you settle your accounts with the Heaven, you would take me to hide in the sea of stars and ignore worldly affairs... Have you forgotten all this?" She forced herself to call ordinary things treasures.
She acted out the story she made up with the most genuine emotions, making it seem like it was real.
The bloodshot eyes looked at her quietly.
No touching feeling, no missing, only a gaze as cold as ice.
It seemed like he was dealing with a very complex data stream that was beyond his understanding.
The next second, his eyes swept over Zheng Qiuyu, and an invisible divine thought as big as the sea enveloped her whole body.
I feel like I've been completely seen through, from skin to bone, blood to soul, there are no secrets.
Zheng Qiuyu's heart suddenly rose to his throat!
She knew that this was an inspection from God!
Sure enough, Zhuo Huo's cold voice sounded again, directly shattering the lie she had just made up.
"You don't have my energy on you."
"You're lying."
These seven simple words are more frightening than any other punishment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the murderous intent that had just subsided gathered again like an ice spike!
The temperature of the entire Divine Prison seemed to be drained away all at once, and it was so cold that it froze one's soul!
It’s over!
Zheng Qiuyu's heart was filled with alarm bells ringing, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
She missed the most crucial point!
Gods may be emotionless, but their sense of their own power is instinctive!
How could she, a mortal, possibly have a "token of love" with the Ancient Evil God? And how could she have been by his side for thousands of years without even a hint of his presence?
This lie is as fragile as paper in front of the absolute power of God!
She had to immediately come up with an explanation that he couldn't find but that made sense!
A trump card that can perfectly explain "why he is not as angry"!
In the blink of an eye, a smile that was even more miserable and desperate than crying suddenly appeared on Zheng Qiuyu's face.
"My silly husband..."
She whispered, her voice as soft as smoke about to dissipate.
"Your anger... is certainly not directed at me..."
She looked up and met the burning bloodshot eyes that could kill anything. The previous ecstasy and grievance were gone in her eyes, leaving only the frightening soft and hard strength of a mother.
"Because... to avoid being hunted by the Heavenly Dao and those immortal sects, and to protect our last hope..."
"I can only use the last bit of divine energy you left with me to protect our child!"
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Qiuyu trembled as he gently and carefully placed his blood-stained hand on... his still flat belly.
She straightened her back, as if she was using her falling apart body to protect the most precious treasure in the world.
She spoke each word clearly, using all her faith to say the word that would stun the god of destruction.
"Husband, I am pregnant with your child."
"We are... the only two of our kind!"
"Divine fetus"!
These two words, like a thunderbolt that split the world apart, struck fiercely into the blank mind of Zhuo Huo!
Feelings can be stripped away, memories can be sealed, but having children is an instinct engraved at the bottom of all life!
It is the most fundamental thing that transcends love and hate, and all the complicated principles!
This is the few codes in his blank mind that he can understand without learning!
At this time, the cold voice of the system sounded in Zheng Qiuyu's mind.
[Ding! If your lie touches upon something the target doesn't understand, your credibility will increase by 10%!]
[Target's mind is confused! Reinstalling...]
Done!
Zheng Qiuyu's heart was beating wildly in her chest. She knew that she had made another right bet, and it was a crucial one!
Zhuohuo's bloodshot eyes stared at her flat belly, and the confusion and confusion in his eyes were almost visible.
He could feel that there was nothing there.
But he also didn't understand the complex human behavior of "lying".
What he didn't understand even more was why the two words "divine fetus" made him jump instinctively in a way he had never done before.
A mortal woman.
She said she was his "God's wife".
Holding a "token" that does not make him angry.
Now, she says she is pregnant with a "child" that he can't feel.
These are all contradictory.
But the idea of "protecting children" is so... normal.
Finally, the terrifying murderous intent that could tear Zheng Qiuyu's soul apart slowly and bit by bit dissipated as his mind raced.
He raised his hand, which was pointing at her eyebrows, and finally retracted it.
Almost at the same time, the system's voice rang again with a slightly happy tone!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Newbie Mission: Survive the God of Burning Fire for ten minutes. Over!]
[Mission Reward: Newbie Gift Pack x1!]
[System Function Unlocked: Qitian Points Mall (Basic) Opened!]
Zheng Qiuyu was so ecstatic that he almost laughed out loud!
Survived!
She really survived the clutches of a world-destroying evil god!
But she didn't dare!
His face still pretended to be miserable and tough, and only his eyes revealed a hint of exhaustion from time to time.
She knew the danger was not over.
As long as she is still conscious, this god who knows nothing can always ask more questions that she cannot answer.
For example, “Why can’t I feel it, baby?”
For example, "What's our child's name?"
For example, "Where is the Chaos Blue Lotus?"
Any one of them could kill her instantly!
So, we must never let him ask again!
Zheng Qiuyu seized the opportunity, and the last bit of light in his eyes seemed to disappear.
His body swayed, and he uttered the last sentence weakly and affectionately.
"Husband..."
The next second, her body went limp, and she fainted like a puppet with its strings cut, just as she was facing the bottom of the stone platform, where the fire was!
This is a big gamble!
Bet on whether a god will subconsciously catch a "mortal" who falls towards him.
A light like a data stream flashed in his burning bloodshot eyes, as if he was calculating how she would fall.
However, his body's instinct was faster than his empty mind.
Just when Zheng Qiuyu was about to fall to the cold, hard ground, a pair of strong and beautiful hands subconsciously reached out and caught her steadily.
soft.
warm.
There is also a faint smell of blood and a woman's fragrance.
This was a feeling that Zhuo Huo had never experienced in his eternal darkness and imprisonment.
His body suddenly stiffened.
It was a kind of stiffness that was even more unfamiliar and incomprehensible than being chained by divine chains.
He lowered his head and looked at the weak mortal woman in his arms who called herself "God's wife". For the first time, he felt an emotion called "difficulty".
[The newbie gift pack is now stored in the system space.]
[Is it open now?]
"open!"
Zheng Qiuyu shouted in her heart, although she was "dizzy", she was very conscious.
[Ding! The newbie gift pack has opened!]
[Congratulations to the host for getting:]
[1. "Word Spirit·Truth" Experience Card 1 (Rare): After using this, the target must believe your next words to be true, otherwise they will ignore it. Note: This card is only valid for one person, for one sentence.]
[2. Deception points x500.]
[3. Basic version of "Spiritual Costume" x1: Can feign a bit of divine energy, used to disguise one's identity, so as to avoid being seen through as a mortal by lesser monks.]
Zheng Qiuyu's heart was beating wildly!
Words of truth!
This is simply a life-saving talisman for her!
With this, next time her lie is exposed, she will have an absolute trump card!
There is also the Soul-Embrace Technique, which just fills her biggest loophole!
She has a system, which is her biggest advantage.
She likes to be alive and enjoys the thrill of this battle of wits and life.
Her goal now is very clear: to survive, and to live a better life beside this god!
She had to firmly establish her identities as the "god wife" and "mother of children" and make this lie the only "truth" between them!
She wants to use this god who knows nothing as her strongest shield in this dangerous prison of gods!
Just when Zheng Qiuyu was counting how much she had gotten, she felt the body holding her move.
Zhuohuo looked down at Zheng Qiuyu who was "dizzy" in his arms. The pale but stubborn face and the softness he had never felt before made the ripples in his bloodshot eyes, which had never changed for thousands of years, deepen.
Then his eyes slowly moved down to her flat belly where her hands were resting.
"Divine fetus..."
He uttered the word silently.
He stretched out his other hand, and on those beautiful fingers, there was still the power to destroy stars.
He seemed to want to touch the so-called "child" and see it for himself.
But his fingertips stopped an inch away from Zheng Qiuyu's clothes.
There was unprecedented hesitation and inquiry in the bloodshot eyes.
This strange "accident", this woman who said he was everything to her, what should he do?
To kill or not to kill?
Believe it or not?
An unprecedented problem was placed before the newly awakened evil god of destruction.
