147: Chapter 147 The Arrogant Fang Jing

Under Fang Yuan's persistent questioning, Elder Fang Huaian ultimately explained what had happened.

After listening carefully to all of this, Fang Yuan also shook his head and cursed in a low voice.

"This Fang Jing is truly a piece of trash, actually driving his own Believers to rebel. What is the Elder's current thought?"

"Looking at this, Elder Yuanming won't stop until he gets what he wants."

Hearing this, Elder Fang Huaian's expression shifted continuously before he finally let out a deep sigh.

"What else can this old man do? We can only let the children suffer a bit of grievance for a while. No matter how arrogant Fang Yuanming is, how long can he keep this up?"

"In any case, this old man will absolutely not let his granddaughter jump into this fiery pit!"

Fang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"I indeed don't have any good solutions regarding Elder Yuanming. If you really can't hold out here, Elder, you might want to consider having Senior Sister Lele and the others come over to my side."

"This Junior still has a few Subordinate Deity slots left. Compared to the Family's side, it can be considered a way out..."

On the Fang Family's side, ever since Fang Lele rejected Fang Jing's marriage proposal, her Family's days had suddenly become very difficult.

The first to be affected was Fang Lele herself. Her monthly Family resource of twenty million faith points was delayed under various pretexts.

She only received a little over one million faith points. After trying to reason with them several times to no avail, she gritted her teeth and endured it. Seeing that she still refused to compromise...

Elder Fang Yuanming merely gave a slight hint, and Fang Lele's parents were dismissed from their jobs under some random pretext.

At this moment, Fang Jing was sitting comfortably in Fang Lele's home like a victor, his face filled with a hypocritical and haughty smile.

"Uncle, Aunt, how have you been considering things during this time? The current situation should have helped you see things clearly by now."

"As long as you agree to the marriage between Lele and me, everything will return to how it was. It will even be better!"

Saying this, Fang Jing leaned close to Fang Lele's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"Anyway, you have no hope of promoting to a Demigod in this lifetime. Transfer your Believers to me. When I become a deity, I might pull you up for the sake of us being husband and wife."

"It's still better than being a Divine Being for the rest of your life. Don't be ungrateful."

Hearing his completely undisguised threat, Fang Lele spoke coldly.

"How is someone whose own Believers rebelled qualified to talk to me about ascending to godhood? Even if you seize my Believers this time, if they rebel again..."

"...are you going to marry another one? I don't believe Elder Yuanming can repeatedly tolerate your incompetence. When you no longer have the Elder's protection, what will you be?"

As Fang Lele finished speaking, she looked at Fang Jing as if he were garbage.

This look deeply stung Fang Jing's heart. Her words hit the absolute root of the issue. If it weren't for his grandfather feeling that his face was damaged this time...

...how could Fang Jing have another chance to rise again?

"[It's all the fault of those damn Believers! It was just killing a few people, that's all. If they hadn't made me look like a fool in the class placement assessment, how could things have turned out like this?!]"

Originally, after killing a batch of Believers, Fang Jing's inner anger had been mostly appeased. But in the end, those damn bugs actually went mad.

Now, not only had they wiped themselves out, but they had also caused his own strength to plummet back to the early stages of Awakening.

Although Believers were the foundation of deities, not all deities viewed Believers as human beings. The mindset of most deities was actually the same as Fang Jing's.

They felt that Believers were just tools and bugs, and should unconditionally obey all of their demands without the slightest deviation.

At the slightest displeasure, they would vent their destructive desires by abusing and slaughtering some of the lowest-level Believers.

Although they knew in most cases that doing so was wrong, they simply could not control their tempers.

Only the painful and desperate wails of humans could make them feel the pleasure of absolute control.

And those ordinary Believers who weren't even Tier 1 were their cheapest outlet. Not only could they not resist, but they were also incredibly cheap.

Most importantly, their numbers were sufficient. Even if a batch was killed, it wouldn't take long for them to recover on their own.

Fang Jing naturally knew his own flaws, and it was precisely because he knew that he became even angrier!

Slap!

Slapping Fang Lele hard across her fair, slightly chubby face, Fang Jing looked at her with a distorted expression.

"Since you refuse to accept my goodwill, then don't blame me! Believe me, after you marry me, I will definitely make you regret what you just said!"

Sitting in the distance, Lele's parents did not expect this brat Fang Jing to suddenly strike. At the end of the day, Divine Beings were still just ordinary humans.

Because of the distance, they simply could not stop him in time. Fang Lele's father angrily slapped the table hard, splashing out quite a bit of the tea on it.

"Fang Jing! You are too insolent! This is not your home! My daughter is not your servant either! Her surname is also Fang! As for marrying you?"

"Unless both her mother and I are dead! Otherwise, Lele will never marry you in this lifetime!"

Seeing one side of her daughter's face rapidly swelling up, Fang Lele's mother hurriedly walked over and pulled her daughter away with a look of deep distress.

Some bottles and jars appeared in her hands; these were all healing medicines. Although they were only low-tier medicines like F-grade and D-grade...

...fortunately, her daughter's injury was not too severe.

"It hurts a bit, bear with it..."

Looking at Fang Lele's mother, who was applying medicine to her daughter with a face full of heartache, and her father, who was staring at him with a face full of rage, Fang Jing did not have even a shred of apology on his face.

Instead, with a highly uncomfortable, arrogant smile, he spoke in a tone that sounded almost like charity.

"Uncle, think carefully about your nephew's suggestion. There isn't much time left for you. Before my grandfather runs out of patience, I hope you can make the right choice."

After leaving behind those words, Fang Jing walked out in a leisurely manner.

Fang Lele's father banged the table loudly. If it weren't for his last shred of sanity, he wouldn't have been able to hold back from teaching the other party a harsh lesson.

"This is truly pushing things too far! Don't worry, Lele, your mother, your grandfather, and I will absolutely not agree to this marriage!"

Looking at his daughter's swollen face, Fang Lele's father felt a sharp pang of pain in his heart. Unlike deities who had infinite Lifespan, Divine Beings ultimately had limited Lifespan.

If they could not make a Breakthrough to Demigod, they would probably only have one or two offspring in this lifetime.

Therefore, Divine Beings valued their offspring very highly. Even though Fang Lele's father was a member of the Fang Family, the same applied to him.

While feeling the alternating sensations of burning heat and coolness on her face, Fang Lele glanced at her parents out of the corner of her eye. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke in a low voice.

"How about... I just marry him? Looking at the current situation, Elder Yuanming will not easily let this go. Rather than being forced to submit after suffering all kinds of hardships..."

"...it would be better to do it before things reach the worst state..."

Before his daughter could finish, Fang Lele's father immediately interrupted her loudly.

"No! Even if I die, I will not push you into a fiery pit! I don't believe Elder Yuanming can truly cover the sky with one hand; he isn't the Family Head yet!"

Although there was also intrigue and infighting within the Family for interests, there were still their own unspoken rules.

That was, harming fellow clan members was absolutely forbidden!

Even an Elder could not arbitrarily deal with any member of the Family without a proper reason! Fang Lele's father did not believe that Fang Yuanming would actually dare to commit such an outrageous act!
