The overlord of the gods is interrogating the alien female spy.

　And that little girl, your curiosity is really too great. Stop staring at that big monster!

　Otherwise, what excuse will she use to distract him again?

　Theresa thought anxiously to herself, wishing she could speak with her eyes so she could tell the little girl how terrifying and brutal the monster beside her was.

　"Big sister, big brother, where did you come from?"

　But you could say kids are just bold and love to join in the fun... The little girl watched for a while, and instead of leaving, she came closer.

　She held some dried fruit in her hand and presented it to the tall Qilin as if offering a treasure.

　"I... I have some dried fruit here. Could you tell me about it, big brother?"

　Big brother?

　The Qilin Overlord seemed to be enraged. He reached out his claws, which were larger than the little girl's head, towards her, and the shadow covered her small face.

　At that moment, Theresa felt her heart stop beating... she was terrified...

　Chapter Nine: The Magnanimous Primordial Celestial Venerable

　"Hmph. Is this all the tribute you have?"

　Chen Lingxu's hand stopped in front of the little girl's face, and she happily placed all the dried fruit in his palm.

　"There are still some left, I'll give them to my older brother later."

　The little girl looked at him longingly after he took the dried fruit away.

　"Since you have asked so sincerely, then I, in my great mercy, will tell you."

　A clean and delicate child, whose scent was as fresh and tender as leaves, and who was also quite good-looking, was told by the great Primordial Celestial Venerable Chen Lingxu, who was broad-minded, about the story of the Beast Kingdom, so that she would know that she was born into the wrong race.

　It can only be said that the appearance of these alien-like beings saved her. If it were in the past, if a dead tree with a mouth and a bunch of rotting corpses hanging from it, or a fat, sticky maggot in front of you calling you "big brother" and asking you to tell it a story, Chen Lingxu would have crushed it to death long ago.

　That stuff looks disgusting, and you want to hear a story about it? Go ahead and put it in a frying pan and listen to the sound of the oil bubbling and exploding.

　"..."

　Theresa was shocked...

　This monster... didn't kill the child... and even started telling a story...

　Is it because the child poses no threat, or because he truly keeps his word and remembers his promise to her?

　Theresa didn't know, but this... should be a good thing, right?

　"Wow! Is big brother really the king?"

　The little girl looked at the imposing and tall man in front of her. His scales were smooth and beautiful, his appearance was dignified without anger, and his words carried an undeniable certainty.

　The little girl had never seen the king before.

　"of course."

　"Is he a king like the Demon King?"

　"Demon King? Ha, just a defeated opponent."

　Wow! Big brother is amazing!

　You ignorant brat.

　Chen Lingxu certainly wouldn't get angry at a brat who would praise and marvel at your story. This little devil provided him with quite a bit of emotional value.

　But... the other party said Demon King?

　Could it be that the Far Chaser is still alive? He's already had half his head crushed and he's still alive; he's incredibly resilient.

　"Alright, go and bring the offerings quickly."

　"Yes, Your Majesty!"

　"Call me Yuanshi Tianzun, you little devil."

　"Yes! Your Majesty, Primordial Celestial Venerable!"

　After the child ran back into the house, Chen Lingxu looked at the little slave standing to the side.

　"slave."

　"I...I'm here, Master..."

　Theresa was still reeling from the shock of 'this monster has such a **** side'.

　"What's the name of the demon king that brat mentioned?"

　Demon King?

　Theresa listened to the monster's story of 'the Primordial Celestial Lord conquering the Beast Kingdom'. Although she didn't know if it was true or not, she wondered... this guy had asked her to take him to the largest city before, was he going to fight the Demon King?

　"Huh? What are you spacing out about?"

　“I’m sorry, Master… Demon King, the Demon King of Kazdel… is… Eresh…”

　She racked her brains to remember the Demon King's name, but then he suddenly grabbed her by the neck and pulled her in front of him. What had she done to offend him this time?

　"Remember, slave, only I, your sole master, am entitled to be called Your Majesty."

　"Yes...yes...I remember...Master..."

　What an arrogant and petty monster...

　Theresa gasped for breath, clutching her neck. This was the monster she knew. Her 'kindness' towards the child earlier was just a pretense because the child posed no threat.

　"Ilesh...never heard of it."

　Chen Lingxu thought for a moment, but couldn't find any Tikaz with that name in his memory.

　What are his titles?

　"I don't know... I mean, I've never heard of it."

　What has he accomplished?

　"Never heard of it..."

　"Not even as good as the trash of those who flee far away."

　If even a commoner doesn't know what their king has done, then that king is utterly useless.

　Even a one-month-old kitten in the Beast Kingdom knows that the Great Primordial Celestial Lord unified the Beast Kingdom and brought a new life to its people.

　The kindness of Yuanshi Tianzun...

　"You can't say that... at least, life is getting better..."

　Before this monster appeared.

　But Theresa only dared to chirp softly, afraid that this stingy monster would take the opportunity to torment her again.

　He calls himself a great king, but he's so stingy and cruel...

　"Your Majesty, the Primordial Celestial Venerable! This is dried fruit for you!"

　“It’s an offering, little devil.”

　Chen Lingxu took the handful of dried fruit, popped it into his mouth and chewed it, then raised his hand and grabbed the little girl as if he were playing with a doll.

　"!"

　Before Theresa could even process what was happening, she had already grabbed the other man's arm tightly, trying to stop him.

　"Theresia. Let go."

　Ugh?

　Was that just an auditory hallucination? This monster... called her name.

　Theresa didn't want to let go, but the language he spoke seemed to have a magical power. In the blink of an eye, the monster had already seized the child and might kill her at any moment...

　"no, do not want……"

　"Big sister? What's wrong?"

　The little girl was unharmed and remained alive and well.

　"No, it's nothing... Are you alright, little girl?"

　Could there be any hidden injuries?

　"No. I feel so good... the stone disease is gone."

　The little girl lifted her clothes, revealing her thin little belly, and her voice carried a hint of surprise.

　"Stone disease? Yes, Oripathy?"

　Theresa could hardly believe that the child, who was only a few years old, had contracted Oripathy.

　"Yes, last year when I woke up I had a lot of small stones on my body and my stomach hurt, but they all went away just now!"

　The little girl immediately realized who had cured her stone disease.

　"His Majesty the Primordial Celestial Lord is so powerful! Even more powerful than the Demon King!"

　"Hmph. Of course."

　Chen Lingxu chased the child away and then turned his attention to Theresa.

　"Master...Master..."

　"Looks like I need to teach you a lesson, you slave. I don't like being told what to do, especially..."

　"It's you, a slave who doesn't know anything."

　"..."

　Theresa lowered her head. She had no regrets... because the monster before her was so unpredictable. She would rather do something wrong and be tormented by this monster than do nothing and watch the child die.

　But the monster didn't say what the punishment would be... which means the time hasn't come yet.

　Theresa could already imagine the torment she would suffer that night... How terrifying, time, please slow down.

　"Hmm... Elesh..."

　Chen Lingxu didn't explain his punishment, just letting the little slave scare himself.

　He was thinking about this demon king he had never heard of.

　He might know why these Tikkaz aliens are different from the ones he's seen before... but he still needs to confirm it.

　Whether it's a little slave or this brat, they are all low-level Tikkaz with extremely thin bloodlines. Their knowledge is just as thin as their bloodline, and they can't get any information at all.

　He needs to find a higher-level alien with a stronger bloodline and ask about the situation in this era.

　The first Kazdel took several generations to perfect... So, how many generations has this Kazdel and the Demon Lord inside gone through?

　Chapter Ten: Fellow villager, open the door! I am the Pardoner!

　"Open the door. Pardoner."

　Just as Theresa was thanking the old man for the food, she hadn't even taken a few bites when she heard a noise outside.

　"The Master of Pardons..."

　Theresa blinked. What was that?

　"grown ups."

　The old man opened the door shakily, and standing in the doorway was a Sarkaz wearing a mask and wrapped up tightly.

　"Have you thought it through? Today is your last chance. Send your child to Kazdel, and the chief will take care of her for you."

　"..."

　The old man hesitated, seemingly reluctant to agree.

　"To be honest, it's rare for someone your age to still be alive in the Sarkaz, but how many more days do you have? Your granddaughter has also contracted Oripathy. Ask yourself honestly, besides the leader, who else in Kazdel, which noble lord, is willing to help you useless Sarkaz take care of your sick children?"

　"But……"

　"Grandma, I don't want to leave you... I want to stay with you."

　The little girl seemed to have met the old man several times before. She hugged the old man tightly and firmly expressed her thoughts.

　“Little girl, you don’t know anything…”

　"My lord, you've seen it yourself... Sigh, just let us fend for ourselves... My lord... I beg you..."
