145: Where are you looking at Chapter 145?

"Oh no, someone is making a move."

A loud shout suddenly rang out from the sky.

Several terrifying attacks descended from the sky, blasting toward the volcano.

However, they were still a bit too slow in making their move.

"Oh no, the extraterritorial divine fire is about to be snatched away."

Seeing this, the Black Water Demon Emperor was greatly alarmed.

She no longer had time to pay attention to Li Qing.

【Look at how flustered the Black Water Demon Emperor is. Don't you see that the child of destiny hasn't even made a move yet? This clearly means he has a backup plan.】

What?

A backup plan?

The Black Water Demon Emperor was stunned.

"Screech."

Suddenly, a clear cry rang out from the volcanic magma. A giant divine bird of fire soared into the sky, blasting that green shadow to pieces with a single strike.

"Pfft."

True Person Qingming's face flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"So it was you, you old Taoist bull-nose."

The bearded man looked at the other party with a gloomy expression.

"Kill."

True Person Qingming attacked directly, rushing toward Gu Beichen.

With his Incarnation destroyed, he was finally enraged.

His movement immediately triggered a chain reaction, and everyone began fighting again.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The sky was shrouded in brilliant divine light, and terrifying Dao patterns surged like a tidal wave.

【Tsk tsk, as expected of a battle in the Emperor Realm. This scene is truly a rare sight.】

He was right again.

He really can predict the future.

Then, can I join forces with him to snatch the extraterritorial divine fire?

The Black Water Demon Emperor glanced at Li Qing.

【Why does this Black Water Demon Emperor keep looking at me?】

【She isn't planning to kill me, is she?】

【Rumor has it that the Black Water Demon Emperor is fierce and cruel. Because of the curse, she is psychologically twisted and ruthless.】

Black Water Demon Emperor: "..."

I haven't come out of seclusion for many years because of the curse.

How am I ruthless?

And psychologically twisted at that.

Where on earth did this bastard hear these rumors?

I'm so angry.

The Black Water Demon Emperor's chest heaved, clearly very angry.

At this moment, the Black Water Demon Emperor twisted her snake tail and arrived in front of Li Qing, saying through gritted teeth:

"I want to make a deal with you, Fellow Daoist. Help me snatch the extraterritorial divine fire, and I am willing to trade an emperor weapon for it."

Li Qing: "..."

【Wait, are you sure you're here to trade and not to beat me to death?】

【With that gritted-teeth look of yours, someone who didn't know better would think I abandoned you after starting a relationship.】

This bastard.

What is he thinking about?

The Black Water Demon Emperor stared at Li Qing with wide eyes.

【It seems the Black Water Demon Emperor really is being driven mad by the curse, actually willing to take out an emperor weapon to trade.】

Li Qing's gaze landed on the Black Water Demon Emperor's snake tail, where the rotting areas were festering.

"You... where are you looking?"

"Don't look."

The Black Water Demon Emperor glared fiercely at Li Qing.

Her tail was equivalent to her legs, and being stared at like this by a strange man made her very uncomfortable.

More importantly, her tail was rotting; how was she supposed to face this?

"So what if I look? It won't make you lose any flesh."

Li Qing rolled his eyes.

【Yes, just say that. This is the female protagonist; hurry up and drive her away.】

【Who wants to help you snatch the extraterritorial divine fire?】

【If I manage to snatch it, I'd rather throw it away than give it to you, so as not to let Gu Beichen benefit from it.】

"You..."

The Black Water Demon Emperor was so angry.

You have a grudge against Gu Beichen, please don't drag me into it; I don't even know him.

"If you help me snatch the extraterritorial divine fire..."

"At... at worst, once I recover, I will let you... let you touch my tail."

The Black Water Demon Emperor looked at Li Qing, biting her pearls of teeth tightly.

"What?"

Li Qing was completely dumbfounded.

【Wait, why is there a seduction attempt involved?】

【Who do you think you're looking down on?】

【However, I have to say, the Black Water Demon Emperor's appearance is truly undeniable. That cold and glamorous mature woman image... if I were to touch it...】

【Ah, ptooey, ptooey, my heart is like ice, unshaken even if the sky falls.】

【Black Water Demon Emperor, stop trying to disturb my Dao Heart.】

The Black Water Demon Emperor had just heard the first half of his inner voice and thought Li Qing looked down on her and disliked her, but after hearing the second half...

Ptooey.

Pervert.

The Black Water Demon Emperor glared fiercely at Li Qing.

"Not interested."

"Fellow Daoist, stop trying to disturb my Dao Heart."

Li Qing refused sternly.

Ptooey.

He clearly wants to do it so badly in his heart.

If I hadn't heard your inner voice, I would have really been fooled by you.

The Black Water Demon Emperor rolled her eyes at Li Qing.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, a strange black light appeared on the Black Water Demon Emperor's tail. Her face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This curse is becoming harder and harder to suppress."

The Black Water Demon Emperor bit her teeth tightly.

【Holy crap, is it that serious?】

【Looking at her situation, if she doesn't get the extraterritorial divine fire soon, I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress it anymore.】

【I remember now, it was when the Black Water Demon Emperor was on the verge of death from the curse's torture that the author had that guy Gu Beichen arrive right on time to save the Black Water Demon Emperor with the extraterritorial divine fire.】

【That's when the Black Water Demon Emperor fell in love with him.】

【Tsk tsk, they really know how to play it.】

This bastard.

I'm vomiting blood, and you're actually watching the show.

Men are truly not good for anything.

If you won't help me.

I'll go snatch it myself.

The Black Water Demon Emperor glared fiercely at Li Qing, and with a swirl of spiritual light around her body, she appeared near the volcanic crater.

"Black Water Demon Emperor, how dare you."

A loud shout rang out from the sky; the four people immediately stopped and attacked the Black Water Demon Emperor together.

"Kid, you still want to watch the show?"

At this moment, True Person Qingming opened his mouth and spat out a cyan sword light, which shot out and headed straight for Li Qing.

Li Qing: "..."

【Ding, detected that the Host has become part of the melon-eating crowd. All restrictions are lifted while eating melons.】

"Hum."

Li Qing flicked his sleeve, and a ray of rosy light flew out, blasting the sword light to pieces with a single strike.

"An emperor weapon fragment."

True Person Qingming's eyes narrowed.

"Fellow Daoist Li, help me obtain the extraterritorial divine fire, and we shall be even from here on out. How about it?"

Gu Beichen had long since discovered Li Qing.

He hadn't spoken up until now because he was afraid Li Qing would sabotage him.

【With words like that, do you even believe yourself?】

【What kind of personality you have, does This Young Master not know?】

【If your Revered Master were to achieve a Breakthrough to the God Realm, the first person you would deal with is me.】

Li Qing rolled his eyes.

"This Young Master is just here to watch the show. I advise some people not to be itchy-handed. If you dare make a move against me again, This Young Master wouldn't mind chopping off your hands." Li Qing put away the emperor weapon fragment and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Boom."

A heaven-shaking loud noise erupted near the volcanic crater.

A terrifying hurricane shockwave swept through. The Black Water Demon Emperor was sent flying directly, and Dao patterns like a tidal wave erupted in the sky.

The Black Water Demon Emperor's body flashed repeatedly in the sky. Suddenly, her tail erupted with a strange black light, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, falling toward the mountains below like a kite with a broken string.

"Oh no, why did the curse erupt at this moment..."

"My Divine Power is about to be sealed..."

The Black Water Demon Emperor's face turned deathly pale.

"Are you really not going to help me?"

The Black Water Demon Emperor's gaze landed on Li Qing, but he hadn't moved at all.

Heh, how could I pin my hopes on a stranger?

"Hahaha, Black Water Demon Emperor, your curse has acted up."

"Die."

True Person Qingming let out a wild laugh, his figure flashed, and he arrived near the Black Water Demon Emperor. With a long sword in his hand, he thrust it violently toward her heart.

"I can't move..."

The Black Water Demon Emperor's eyes revealed a look of despair.

She never expected that she would fall in such a manner; a dignified Great Emperor dying without any dignity.

"Clang."

Just at this moment, a figure appeared in front of the Black Water Demon Emperor like a ghost, kicked the long sword aside, and swept the Black Water Demon Emperor into his arms.

The person who made the move was none other than Li Qing.

He was soft-hearted after all.

"You actually made a move to save me..."

The Black Water Demon Emperor's eyes revealed a look of disbelief.

"Help me snatch the extraterritorial divine fire... I can... I can let you... touch."

Isn't that what you want?

Help me.

I will let you.

Li Qing: "..."
