98: Crocodile King

Early the next morning, Bai Ming arrived outside Gu Yuchuan's room to wait for him. Since they were going out, she had dressed up carefully today, wearing a long red dress. Her sleeves fluttered with a hint of Immortal Qi, and her fox ears and the tail behind her added even more charm.

Gu Yuchuan saw this beautiful sight as soon as he came out. Although he had no special feelings for Bai Ming, who wouldn't enjoy seeing a Beauty? Looking at a Beauty would make one's mood much better.

Today, Gu Yuchuan wore a cyan robe, his hair casually rolled into a bun. Complemented by his handsome face, he appeared somewhat ethereal and possessed a hint of Immortal Qi.

"Let's go and meet that Crocodile Great King. From now on, turn on the shadow recording stone and record everything. No matter how the other party provokes us, you must endure it, understand? It would be best if you could cry pitifully when the time comes. Do you understand what I mean?"

Although Bai Ming didn't really know what Gu Yuchuan intended to do, she could follow these instructions. She nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Great King, I promise I will do it. I'm turning on the shadow recording stone now."

As the shadow recording stone began to glow, Gu Yuchuan's expression became filled with deep grievance: "Everyone, I am the master of Bright Stream, the Azure Scale Demon General, and also an Artifact Refiner in the Logistics Camp of the frontline Azure Dragon Army. After returning home, I found that the neighboring Crocodile Great King repeatedly came to my home to snatch Ore while I was on the battlefield. I really cannot swallow this insult. I sacrificed so much for the Yao Race at the frontline, yet my home was actually bullied in the rear. Today, I must have him give me an explanation."

After speaking, he flew out, with Bai Ming following closely behind. Soon, they arrived at Xiaochuan Stream. Gu Yuchuan let out a Dragon's roar, and Xiaochuan Stream immediately began to boil.

"I am the master of Bright Stream, the Azure Scale Demon General. Where is the master of Xiaochuan Stream? Come out and see me immediately."

Soon, a black crocodile appeared before them. He looked extremely unsightly, the ugliest crocodile Gu Yuchuan had ever seen.

"A Demon General Senior has arrived, excuse me for not welcoming you. I wonder why Senior has come to find this little Yao today?"

Gu Yuchuan snorted coldly, his gaze very icy: "You don't know? I think you know very well. This seat is the master of Bright Stream. You know exactly what you did at Bright Stream. I shouldn't need to remind you again, right?"

But this Crocodile Great King actually started playing dumb, repeatedly saying he didn't know. Bai Ming threw out a shadow recording stone, which showed the scene where he injured Bai Ming and snatched the green jade mine. Immediately, the scene fell silent, and his expression became very ugly. He simply stopped pretending.

Gu Yuchuan approached him: "Speak, who is the one instigating you from behind? A mere Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator dares to snatch things from a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon General. If there weren't someone behind you, this would certainly be impossible. You'd better confess honestly, or I'll show you that the dignity of a Demon General cannot be offended."

The Crocodile Great King seemed to have received some benefits, as he became even more arrogant upon hearing Gu Yuchuan: "How was I supposed to know you were a Demon General back then? You made your Breakthrough in the army; how could I have known? The strong prey on the weak; isn't it normal for me to snatch things? In cultivation, if you don't fight and snatch, how can you cultivate?"

Although this statement wasn't wrong, it was full of loopholes, making Gu Yuchuan really want to curse.

"You really aren't very bright. First, before I joined the army, I was a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator. Any Yao Beast with a brain knows that a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator shouldn't provoke a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator. Second, my promotion to Foundation Establishment in the army is a classified matter; very few people know. Yet you know, so there must be someone behind you, and they've violated military regulations by investigating military intelligence. You'd better confess everything, or I'll report this to the Azure Dragon Army, and neither you nor the person behind you will have a good ending."

At this point, the Crocodile Great King became even more arrogant, even flicking his tail: "Azure Scale Demon General, your own status isn't high enough, so don't assume everyone else is at your level. Investigating military intelligence isn't that big of a crime."

He finally stopped pretending. He believed he was acting under a Yao King's instructions, but he didn't know he was merely a pawn. His role was simple: to provoke Gu Yuchuan into killing him.

However, having seen this scene in the Simulation, Gu Yuchuan naturally wouldn't get angry. Bai Ming's face, however, turned very pale. The insult to her King was a sign of her own incompetence, but remembering Gu Yuchuan's instructions, she could only endure. Every action of the Crocodile Great King was recorded in the shadow recording stone.

Gu Yuchuan stepped closer: "So you admit it? There is indeed someone behind you directing you to provoke and frame me, attempting to destroy a Demon General with over a thousand military merit from the frontline? Right?"

The Crocodile Great King didn't dare answer this, so he simply pretended not to understand.

Gu Yuchuan didn't care and stepped closer: "Fine, no matter who is behind you. This seat has over a thousand military merit and has fought desperately on the battlefield, sacrificing much. It's not something you can easily scheme against. Today, I will take you down and hand you over to the Security Department to see exactly what you're up to."

After speaking, he used a Spell to bind the other party. Their cultivation gap was too large; even if the other party wanted to resist, they couldn't make the slightest difference.

"Bai Ming, take this golden light and go down to retrieve all our Ore. Remember, only take our things, not others'. We are not like those Cultivators who snatch others' resources."

After Bai Ming left, Gu Yuchuan used the Golden Light Incantation to isolate a space. After confirming there were no shadow recording stones or similar means, his face suddenly became ferocious, making the Crocodile Great King shrink back.

His voice was filled with killing intent: "You'd better confess honestly. Who exactly is the Yao King behind you? I can still give you a way out. Schemes between Yao Kings are not something a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator like you can get involved in. Think carefully before you answer."

The Crocodile Great King seemed brainwashed; even now, he refused to say anything and remained very arrogant.

"Since you know there's a Yao King behind me, hurry up and release me, then apologize properly. Maybe I can even put in a good word for you before the Yao King. Otherwise, your end will be the most miserable."

After confirming it was indeed that Flower Yao behind him, he lost interest in talking further. If he wouldn't talk now, there would be a time for him to talk. But by then, it would be too late."}],
