Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

Finally, she took a deep breath, as if to leave all her unease and doubts behind.

Chen Duo bravely raised her head and met Xing Liu's gaze. Although her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, it revealed an unwavering strength: "I...I want to go with you."

These few simple words seemed to have used up all her courage.

"I don't want to go back to that place."

Upon hearing this, Xingliu's eyes flashed with admiration. He smiled and reached out to gently grasp Chen Duo's slender wrist.

This handshake felt like a warm current flowing into Chen Duo's body, giving her unprecedented strength and courage.

However, thinking of the Gu poison in her body, Chen Duo instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.

Xingliu keenly sensed her unease and gently pulled Chen Duo into his arms.

At that moment, Chen Duo didn't feel shy or uncomfortable; instead, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Because of the Gu poison, she had never been hugged like this before.

This novel and warm feeling made her somewhat intoxicated.

But soon, she tried to break free.

Although she has controlled the poison very well, there is still a risk of it getting out of control, otherwise the company would not have regarded her as a time bomb.

However, her weak push seemed so powerless in the face of the star flow, instead giving the impression of a couple playfully bickering.

As time went by, more wonderful emotions surged in Chen Duo's heart.

She was immersed in this emotion, and her struggles became weaker and weaker.

Xingliu held the tiny child in his arms, yet felt no lust in his heart.

He simply felt deep sympathy for this girl who couldn't control her own destiny and wanted to give her a warm embrace.

Of course, he couldn't guarantee what the future held.

Moreover, Xingliu's embrace with Chen Duo was not merely a simple act.

Once her emotions had calmed down, Xingliu began to use the life rules he had mastered to treat Chen Duo.

Under the influence of this magical power, the primal Gu poison within Chen Duo's body began to be gradually expelled.

The cells that had been eroded by the poison were gradually repairing themselves, and the modified parts were gradually returning to their original state.

Chen Duo felt a sense of ease and comfort she had never experienced before.

All the pain and torment caused by the Gu poison in the past vanished as if it had never existed.

Not long after, she was surprised to find that she had lost the ability of the Gu Body Saint Child.

She finally escaped the nightmare that had haunted her, and this transformation left Chen Duo somewhat incredulous.

She couldn't believe that she could so easily break free from the shackles of the past and be reborn.

She looked up with delight, her gaze meeting the starlight.

She opened her mouth, trying to express her gratitude in words.

However, her overly simplistic past experiences left her speechless at this moment.

She found that no words could fully express her gratitude and joy.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Duo.

She recalled watching TV dramas in the past, where the female lead chose to kiss to express her feelings in a similar situation.

So she mustered her courage and stopped hesitating.

She tiptoed closer to Xingliu, closed her eyes, and gently pressed her lips to his.

Xingliu was somewhat surprised by Chen Duo's sudden action.

However, when he saw her innocent yet determined eyes, his surprise quickly turned into tenderness.

He understood that Chen Duo was expressing her gratitude and trust in her own way.

So he gently responded to her kiss and tenderly stroked her hair.

This response made Chen Duo, who had never felt shy before, suddenly feel embarrassed.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart beat a little faster.

This was her instinctive reaction after her body recovered. Although it had nothing to do with her emotions, it gave her a wonderful feeling she had never experienced before.

Chen Duo's shyness didn't last long; she quickly recovered from this novel feeling.

She slightly opened her eyes and saw Xingliu smiling and watching her.

This made her somewhat flustered, causing her to release Xingliu, and then she looked at the ground with a slightly flushed face.

Her mind was a mess at that moment, and she didn't know what to say.

Xingliu chuckled at her expression, which made Chen Duo's ears turn slightly red.

Then he stopped teasing Chen Duo and turned his gaze to Ma Hongxian, saying in a calm voice:

"Village Chief Ma, our deal is still valid. Now, please tell me the cultivation method of the Divine Craftsmanship Technique."

Watching Xingliu heal Chen Duo, Ma Hongxian became even more convinced that Xingliu could restore his memories.

Without further hesitation, he began to explain in detail the cultivation method of the Divine Refinement Technique.

Not long after, Xingliu had a sudden thought as he received a notification from the system.

At this point, he had successfully acquired seven of the eight extraordinary skills, leaving only the mysterious and unpredictable Great Luo Cave Heaven, whose inheritor was not clearly identified in the original work.

After obtaining the item, Xingliu did not delay any longer and immediately began treating Ma Hongxian's memories that Qu Tong had erased with her Double-Handed Technique.

As he received treatment, Ma Hongxian clutched her head in pain and let out a muffled groan.

Immediately, those sealed memories surged back like a tide.

He witnessed the horrific scene of his grandfather being hunted down and having his leg cut off because he possessed the Divine Hundred Refinements skill.

He saw his own determination and courage in disregarding his grandfather's orders and insisting on taking him to escape.

They also saw the face of the woman who ultimately ambushed and captured them—Qu Tong!

"Qu Tong!!!"

Chapter 231 The Bait Plan

Ma Hongxian's face instantly twisted, her eyes filled with anger and hatred.

He never expected that the person he had always called "sister" was actually his enemy!

No wonder I could never see her; it turns out I'd been kept in the dark all along, like a fool.

This feeling of betrayal and deception chilled Ma Hongxian to the bone, as if she were in an abyss.

He couldn't accept this fact, but he felt even more anger and hatred towards Qu Tong.

Ma Hongxian trembled, his anger and hatred intertwined, making it almost impossible for him to control his emotions.

He looked up at Xingliu, his eyes flashing with the flames of revenge: "Thank you for helping me regain my memories. Now, I'm going to settle accounts with Qu Tong!"

Xingliu nodded slightly, not surprised by Ma Hongxian's reaction.

He said calmly, "Village Chief Ma, I understand your feelings. But Qu Tong is not a simple person; there may be more complex forces behind her."

"If you want revenge, you must be fully prepared."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongxian's anger subsided slightly.

He knew that his emotions were extremely unstable at the moment and that he needed to calm down and make a good plan.

However, whenever he thought about how he had been fooled, he couldn't suppress his anger.

Moreover, his grandfather, Ma Yuanlu, is likely still suffering in Qu Tong's hands.

These thoughts churned in his mind, causing him immense pain.

Just as Ma Hongxian was tormented and burning with anger, Xingliu gently patted his shoulder and said, "Can't think of a solution? I can help you."

The voice was like a clear spring, instantly extinguishing some of the anger in Ma Hongxian's heart.

He looked up at Xingliu with some confusion, wondering why Xingliu wanted to help him.

Although they had only met recently, he could sense that Xingliu was not the kind of person who would lend a helping hand for no reason.

However, having no other choice at the moment, he could only accept this help, even if it might be a trap.

So, he looked at Xingliu with a complicated expression and said with some helplessness, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

Xingliu looked at Ma Hongxian's complicated expression and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't explain.

He didn't need Ma Hongxian to understand the inside story; he only needed her to act according to his plan and lure Qu Tong out.

In time, everything will become clear.

This is the confidence of Xingliu.

Xingliu already had a plan in mind to lure Qu Tong out.

Qu Tong is currently unaware that Ma Hongxian has regained her memory.

Furthermore, since Chen Duo works for the company, this is a perfect opportunity to exploit an information gap.

Ma Hongxian was instructed to feign defeat against Chen Duo and Xing Liu, creating a false impression, before being taken away by company personnel.

Qu Tong also has his own inside man in the company, and he will definitely break Ma Hongxian out of prison and take her away.

In this way, Xingliu can directly find Qu Tong's hiding place through Ma Hongxian and put an end to everything.

After careful consideration, Xingliu explained his plan in detail to Chen Duo and Ma Hongxian.

After listening, Ma Hongxian nodded in agreement without hesitation.

However, Chen Duo seemed somewhat hesitant.

She still harbors resentment about returning to the company and is unwilling to go back to the restrictive life she once had.

Seeing Chen Duo's troubled expression, Xing Liu gently comforted her:

"Don't worry, it's not asking you to go back to the company. I just need you to pass on a message. As long as you don't want to, with me here, no one can force you to do anything."

Hearing Xingliu's firm promise, Chen Duo's unease instantly vanished.
