Chapter 672: Chapter 670: Secret
Linai put away the System Map, took out a bottle of alcohol from the space, opened the cap, and threw it to the woman, taking another for himself and opening it, “Here’s to your success.”
The woman looked at the bottle in her hand and, just as she was about to drink, suddenly paused, “Let’s switch.”
Linai was about to drink but then smiled upon hearing her words and swapped bottles with her, “You from the Geqihuhot tribe are naturally suspicious.”
“As your humans say, ‘Better safe than sorry,'” the woman drank down the alcohol in one gulp.
But she quickly felt dizzy and uncontrollably transformed into her insect form!
She looked at Linai in shock and disbelief, “You! You added an aphrodisiac!”
Linai took a swig of his drink and said lazily, “If you hadn’t switched the bottles, there wouldn’t have been a problem.”
The Insect Clan has an extremely sensitive reaction to aphrodisiacs.
Just a touch can cause them to revert to insect form, then go into heat and enter a frenzied state!
“You’ve betrayed my clan!”
“I had no choice, since you mentioned killing that woman.”
“Why?!”
“It’s like this, there is no such thing as a free lunch!” A Divine Body created with Hongmeng Pure Qi can accommodate the energies of other God Rank Talents, but it also has a significant downside.
He can’t do anything harmful or even rebellious to Sally! Just like this female insect intending harm to Sally, even if he didn’t want to, he would still have to eliminate her on behalf of Sally.
He had become completely her puppet!
He who controlled gods like dolls had himself become a doll, a reality he found hard to accept. Leaving the Divine Realm was also to avoid Sally.
If she were to discover this secret of his, the consequences would be extremely dangerous!
The sudden appearance of an Insect Beast caused immediate panic and screaming among the crowd.
Linai blended into the crowd, weaving through it.
After a burst of intense gunfire, he looked back—only to see the frenzied Insect Beast had been shot to pieces!
“Ha! Now no one will know; that doesn’t count as betrayal, right?” Linai smirked as he continued on his way, quickly disappearing into the sea of people.
The supermarket on negative second floor.
Welly was pushing a shopping cart while Sally was picking out merchandise.
Whenever she was uncertain about which brand to buy, Sally would consult Welly, who would simply place several brands into the cart without the slightest hesitation.
Sally was quite pleased with this course of action.
The commotion caused by the Insect Beast outside eventually reached them.
Many customers immediately left with their carts.
Sally looked at Welly, “Should we leave too?”
“No rush, we can shop at our leisure,” Welly replied calmly, valuing dinner more than the commotion outside.
The supermarket, seeing customers fleeing and lots of perishables unhandled, immediately started a sale to get rid of as much stock as they could.
Otherwise, by the time the supermarket was closed for investigation, these perishables would spoil. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
When Sally heard the promotion and discounts, she and Welly made eye contact and saw the surprise of a bargain in each other’s eyes.
“Hello, I’ll take all of these, can you make it a bit cheaper?” Sally pointed at the fresh meat.
“We can do a fifty percent discount!”
“Pack it all up!”
Their rush to buy also caught the attention of other shoppers who started to grab goods as well. Some customers who had left returned upon hearing of the big discounts and continued their shopping.
…
After returning from the supermarket to their residence, Sally lay tiredly on the couch to rest.
Welly took out packets of ingredients from the Storage Bag, “Yanyan, you play with the kids first. I’ll handle cooking.”
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Sally, dressed in a light and comfortable maternity outfit, walked over and leaned against the counter smiling at him.
Welly looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then tried to get closer to Sally.
Seeing him take initiative, Sally’s smile deepened.
Her slightly trembling lips met his in a gentle peck…For Sally, it was like being tickled.
She pulled at his waistband, “Let’s cook later~ hm?”
“As you wish.” Welly immediately picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
But, before they could even fully undress, as they hurried into a rather compromising position… there was a knock on the door!
Sally was stunned, and then, looking at Welly’s restrained expression, she began to laugh, shaking with mirth.
Feeling intoxicatingly ticklish… Welly felt like murdering someone.
Using the System Map, Sally checked and saw that it was the same female inspector who had visited last time, “Maybe later.”
Welly, clearly unsatisfied, darkly opened the door, “You’d better have a good reason, or else!”
The female inspector was startled!
Her body instinctively trembled as she entered.
Seeing Sally, with her radiant and stunningly blushing face, carrying a plate of fruit out from the kitchen, the inspector was first dazzled and then managed to compose herself, “Sorry to disturb you, Madam Su.”
“Not at all, please have a seat,” Sally replied with a smile, then turned to Welly, “Honey, could you take care of the ingredients?”
“Okay.” Welly was all warmth when he met Sally’s gaze.
The female inspector didn’t dare look at Welly, and handed her work card to Sally, “I’m temporarily assisting with inspections. My primary duty is as the Queen’s deputy, Amanda. Madam Su, you may call me Amanda.”
“Wow~” Sally exclaimed, surprised, “Well then, Amanda, don’t be formal with me either, just call me Xiao Su.”
“Okay, the Queen would like to meet Xiao Su.”
“Meet me?” Sally was puzzled, “Why?”
“Her Majesty needs to tell you herself,” Amanda replied.
Welly immediately objected, “No, she’s pregnant and it’s inconvenient.”
“If Mr. Wen is worried, he could accompany her for the audience,” Amanda said to Welly, “Besides, aren’t you adventurers?”
“Okay, where is the Queen?” asked Sally.
“She’s in the house opposite this one,” replied Amanda.
Looking through the window at the house across the way, Sally saw it was now surrounded by several plainclothes guards, dressed like civilians, but clearly military by their demeanor.
“The Queen deigns to visit; it would really be improper not to go, let’s go, honey,” Sally said to Welly.
Welly was somewhat reluctant.
Although Sally was here on a mission, ever since their arrival, he had been slacking, wanting to spend as much time as possible with Sally; the later they started the mission, the better.
“I can just go, Yanyan, you can help with cooking dinner,” he suggested.
Sally looked at Amanda, “Is that okay? My husband can fully represent me.”
“Yes,” Amanda agreed.
Welly fastened Sally’s apron for her, “For some ingredients that are hard to handle, wait for me to return and take care of them. Or you can just lay down and rest, you don’t have to do anything. Call me if there’s anything, and I’ll come back immediately.”
“Alright, alright, I can handle it. You go meet the Queen with Amanda, don’t keep Her Majesty waiting,” Sally urged.
However, Welly himself was the Demon Emperor from the Demon Realm, and it was not necessarily the case that the other party was condescending; perhaps it was Welly who was deigning to meet her.
So it was Emperor meeting Queen… heh, she could use the System Map to watch the negotiations between the two.
