After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"You..."

Zhou Yan suddenly changed his tune.

How did you find me?

Zhou Yan had been staying at the Wutong Hotel like a shut-in for the past few days and only came out today. When he came out, he didn't see Jiang Wanqing squatting down for him.

Jiang Wanqing gave a dry laugh.

"I saw you in the VIP room during the competition, and I suddenly thought of using this information to exchange for a favor with you."

Zhou Yan resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

It should have been expected. Jiang Wanqing, a demon-level awakened being, and her floating spirits weren't anything special, how could she possibly have entered the Zhang family's residence and overheard this information right under the noses of Zhang Ye, a demigod, and his grandfather, who, judging from the content of their conversation, was also a highly awakened demigod?

Zhou Yanzhen didn't believe that this family mansion was open to just anyone.

Unless Little Yama takes pity on you.

Zhou Yan guessed that all of this was actually overheard by the floating spirit controlled by Little Yama, but Little Yama didn't keep the information himself, instead giving it to Jiang Wanqing.

No wonder Little Yama dragged me to the VIP room this morning and even introduced me to Jiang Wanqing. So that's what he was waiting for.

This is her way of giving her system host a perk.

However, I went there randomly. What if I hadn't gone to the Zhongzhou City Gymnasium today?

Then I'll just have Jiang Wanqing come to the Wutong Hotel to find me.

Since Jiang Wanqing has information in her hands, why should she be afraid of not being able to get benefits from him?

Damn it, everything is really under Little Yama's control. This little girl looks harmless, but she's been up to a lot of trouble behind the scenes.

"or……"

Jiang Wanqing reminded her in a low voice.

"Go and apologize to Miss Zhang, say some nice things, and maybe she won't be so insistent."

Zhou Yan resisted the urge to punch Jiang Wanqing in the face.

Why do you think I'm the one who got Zhang Ye pregnant?

Jiang Wanqing's voice was even weaker.

"That child is a demigod, and the Zhang family's ancestors all like him very much..."

From the conversation Jiang Wanqing overheard, Zhang Ye's grandfather clearly stated that the child in Zhang Ye's belly was guaranteed to be at least a demigod, so although it was very painful, he still asked Zhang Ye to give birth first.

Even within the Zhang family, a demigod is a top-tier fighter, and they wouldn't dare to have an abortion lightly.

Zhou Yan chuckled. What business was it of his whether Chi You's race was demigod or not?

"I understand, I'll handle this."

Zhou Yan stood up.

"As for the food here, if Miss Jiang can do me a favor, please eat it yourself. I need to go and take care of Lin Anru's matter."

Jiang Wanqing made a comment.

"My match."

"I know, just wait and you'll win."

Zhou Yan carried Su Xiaowan out of the private room. As soon as they left, two waiters came in with trays of food. Before leaving, Zhou Yan said that the food should continue to be served, and that Jiang Wanqing would eat.

Two plates were placed in front of Jiang Wanqing. When opened, a dish that could rival the weekly salary of a citizen of the Eastern Xia United States appeared.

Jiang Wanqing picked up a pair of chopsticks, put the food in her mouth, and chewed slowly.

Before obtaining the system, she was a Ghost-level Awakened. In turbulent times, even self-preservation was difficult for a Ghost-level Awakened, as they were easily killed by firearms.

Since the system appeared, Jiang Wanqing felt that her life had changed. First, she rose from the Ghost level to the Demon level, then there were various exchange items, various missions, and now she is even a member of Congress.

As long as she can maintain this identity, Jiang Wanqing is fully confident that she can become a powerful official in a state in the future, and even thinks further ahead, about demigod bloodline, and even true god bloodline.

The Destiny System's exchange feature includes the exchange of True God Bloodline. Once you obtain this bloodline...

Jiang Wanqing thought of Zhou Yan. This guy had just sat next to her and scared her so much that she almost peed her pants. And this guy was only a demigod.

If I could exchange for the bloodline of the true god—the Ten Kings of Hell, wouldn't I be able to stand on equal footing with the Four Divine Beasts? At that time, I wouldn't just be a regional governor of one state, but nearly ten states would be under my control.

I'll beat that bastard Zhou Yan up first, for daring him to scare me like that.

Jiang Wanqing took a vicious bite of a steak.

……

Zhou Yan left Yangquan Private Kitchen. As soon as he left, he took out his phone and dialed Zhu Que's number.

"Lord Suzaku, there are two things I'd like to discuss with you..."

"explain……"

"The first thing is, I just met someone, um, a participant in the four-school competition. She's a good person, and I... I want to help her..."

Zhou Yan told Zhuque about his two students from his academy not arguing with Jiang Wanqing, and then used the favor Zhuque had asked for to break through the First Academy.

"...Okay, it's a small matter. I'll talk to those two kids later."

Zhuque was very considerate and didn't ask Zhou Yan for more detailed information about Jiang Wanqing.

Zhou Yan made a face that looked like he had a toothache. When Zhou Yan was still in high school, he was drafted by his teacher to organize a New Year's Eve party. On the day of the party, when it came to the lucky draw, a senior from the third year of high school came over and asked Zhou Yan where a certain senior was. He said that it was time to draw the lucky draw and he couldn't find her.

Zhou Yan was very curious. Was this senior student going to send flowers to the winner of the prize?

Why did this senior student have to be present? It turns out the senior student said the winners of the raffle were predetermined, and the senior student was one of them. Now that they can't find anyone, how will she go on stage to receive the prize?

At that time, Zhou Yan, who was still young, was already disillusioned with his school.

If you're going to pre-select prizes worth at most a hundred or so yuan, then this society is doomed. And then, when I actually got into the real world, I found myself starting to pre-select prizes myself.

Is this what it means to eventually become the person you hate the most?

"There's one more."

Zhou Yan sighed.

"Lord Suzaku, do you still remember when Lin Anru and I offended the Zhang family of Indian Continent in the Abyss Underworld?"

"what happened?"

"The Zhang family from Indiana has also participated in the four-school competition, and they want to harm me and Lin Anru. I am fine, as I have already started all-round eavesdropping, but Lin Anru seems to be targeted by the assassins of the Black Line."

Zhuque chuckled softly.

"It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. I understand. I will arrange protection measures for Lin'an Ru. As for the Zhang family, I will have someone talk to them later."

Zhou Yan liked Zhuque's all-encompassing attitude.

……

Fengxing Street, Zhangjia Community No. 25, second floor bedroom.

Zhang Ye lay on the bed, his face ashen as he touched his stomach.

It has been half a year. Since returning from the Abyss Underworld, Zhang Ye has gradually recovered from the nightmare of Chi You Leipu after several counseling sessions with a psychologist. However, after recovering, something that Zhang Ye found hard to accept occurred.

He is pregnant.

After being diagnosed by the doctor, Zhang Ye thought about it for three days and then decided to have an abortion. But then came the despair: the child she was carrying had great potential, at least a demigod, and possibly even a god.

As soon as the child's bloodline was revealed, Zhang Ye's parents and elders couldn't hold back. They said that if you're willing to risk everything, you might just bring down the emperor. If you're willing to risk everything, the Zhang family might gain a demigod, or even a true god.

Zhang Ye never imagined that he would suddenly become a breeding machine in the eyes of his parents and elders.

"Whoosh..."

Zhang Ye felt her baby kicking her stomach.

A very strange feeling welled up inside Zhang Ye. His masculine pride and maternal love mingled together, causing him to momentarily lose his composure.

As usual, Zhang Ye got out of bed and walked to the wardrobe. The wardrobe opened, revealing four human heads preserved in glass jars filled with formalin.

These are Wolves One through Four.

We are still missing Zhou Yan and Lin Anru, as well as...

Zhang Ye bit his lip, his face flushing.

That bastard...

Chapter Nine Zhang Family

"Dong dong dong..."

A knock sounded outside Zhang Ye's bedroom door.

Zhang Ye closed the wardrobe containing the formalin jars of Wolf One to Wolf Four, then walked to the bedside and sat down, rubbing his protruding belly.

"Come in."

The door creaked open, and Zhang Ye's father, a handsome member of the Zhang family, walked in. The father looked at his son's large belly and said with a strange expression.

"The black line has already made contact. In the next three days, Lin'an will die, but..."

The father looked at his son's wardrobe and revealed a complex expression, knowing that what his son's wardrobe contained was not an Ultraman bodysuit, a cool Superman trench coat, or a Batman suit, but rather stockings, a skirt, a wig, and the Lordaeron Filial Son Sword.

"...There's probably no way to get Lin Anru's head back."

The father knew that his son had removed the head of the person who orchestrated the whole thing and put it in the closet. This slightly suppressed Zhang Ye's madness and pain, but the fact that there were four heads preserved in formaldehyde in the bedroom...

Just thinking about it makes my head tingle.

Zhang Ye said coldly.

"Tell the assassins not to touch Lin Anru's head. Once Lin Anru is buried, we'll dig up the grave and cut off her head."

The Eastern United States still advocates burial, but in recent years many environmental associations have recommended natural burial methods.

Natural burial involves finding a piece of land, planting a tree, and having the living person choose a tree before they die. When they die, they are buried under the tree, and the tree is nourished by the nutrients from their decomposing body. In the future, the deceased's descendants can visit the tree and tell their grandchildren that their grandfather's body became part of this tree.

There is also the more direct option of scattering ashes at sea, so that all of humanity may be with you.

Of course, Zhang Ye felt that the Vermilion Bird Academy would definitely not choose such a messy funeral. Given that the owner died a violent death and had not chosen a strange funeral before his death, burial would definitely be the most appropriate option.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to dig up Lin Anru's grave and take his head.

The father hesitated.

"Is it really necessary to go this far?"

The father increasingly felt that his son was becoming extreme. Recently, the father had heard from his subordinates that his son was planning to kill the psychologist who knew the reason for his abortion.

I thought my son had already gone too far by killing doctors, but now killing people isn't enough, he's digging up graves to take heads.

This is not good, but the father couldn't find a suitable way to comfort his son.

Zhang Ye chuckled, his eyes narrowed, and his displeasure was obvious. As a demigod with a high level of awakening, the father immediately sensed his son's undisguised killing intent.

"My father is also a mature man," the man said, changing the subject.

"Let's not talk about that now, little one. Do you know that Su Er has returned from Kunlun Immortal Palace?"

Zhang Ye suddenly sat up from the bedside and exclaimed in surprise.

"Is Sister Bijun coming back?"

Indiana is nominally a democratic autonomous state under the Eastern United States, but the caste system is deeply entrenched, and various class-related absurdities exist in society. For example, people like Zhang Ye, who belong to the Celestial Clan, can become high-ranking masters in nearby temples as long as they are born, even if they have little family property or status. When they walk on the street, they are greeted with excited kisses on the toes of lower-caste commoners.

Even if that low-caste civilian were the local police chief, or to put it bluntly, if they weren't the police chief, it wouldn't be his place to kiss her.

For example, thirty-two cities in the northern part of Indiana were controlled by a sect called the Miro Cult, whose leader was the supreme political leader, the supreme military leader, and the leader of the business alliance—a veritable trinity of gods.

And so, this kind of wholehearted and natural annual "democratic" election can get the support of the vast majority of people.

This god's surname is Su, and Su Er is the granddaughter of this god. Before she was born, it was determined that her bloodline power was guaranteed to be at least demigod, and she might even be a genius who is a true god.

After being born, Su Er lived up to expectations. After several confirmations, her bloodline was determined to be that of a star official, and finally, it was determined to be that of the Heart Moon Fox.
