It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 72 Nothing to say, we are pretending to each other

I don't know if it's an illusion.

Today's Wangshu Palace seems to be much brighter than in the past.

Gu Xiangzhu, a demon sect woman, seems to have slightly improved her appearance after removing her "motherly mask".

Maybe...you haven't unlocked the expressions other than the mask before?

At least I've never seen her smile so naturally before.

"coming!"

Zhao Ci responded with a straight face.

Gu Xiangzhu looked at the bag in his hand and smiled softly: "Are the fungi fresh today?"

"Fresh!"

Zhao Ci's eyes were a little dodgey, as if he didn't dare to look at her, and he quickly moved his toes towards the door: "I'll do it for you."

The corners of Gu Xiangzhu's lips raised slightly: "That's great, I thought you were just talking."

Zhao Ci stiffened for a moment, stopped, and said with an inward look: "I just don't want the fungus to go bad, and besides, I owe you a favor by condensing a good body. After the favor is repaid, I won't come. "

Gu Xiangzhu smiled and asked, "Then when will this favor be repaid?"

"me……"

Zhao Ci gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know either. I'll pay it back naturally when it's time to pay it back."

After that, without giving Gu Xiangzhu a chance to speak, he went directly to the kitchen.

Gu Xiangzhu looked at his embarrassed back, a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes.

She admits.

The young man in front of him was very smart and quite calm. Otherwise, he would not have been able to test himself out. He could even pull the strings between himself and Zhao Huan, and finally keep the pill in his hands.

But he is a young man after all.

All actions are influenced by emotions.

This is the best time to win over him!
In fact, what Yueniang said yesterday was right, it is best for such people to develop into their own subordinates.

She was tossing and turning yesterday, and finally figured it out. In fact, there were only three paths that Zhao Ci could take in the future.

The first way is to practice hard and stay in Linge to be harvested by Zhao Huan. It will be impossible to keep the kidney energy and kidney water divine marks. If the secret of the demon body is exposed, even the physical divine marks may be plundered.

In this way, he can only live as a waste for the rest of his life. Zhao Huan will still love Xiang Tiange for his sake.

I just don’t know if Zhao Ci will still find this love valuable after knowing the truth.

The second way is to train Zhao Ci into a puppet like what Yueniang said. As long as she helps him reshape the demon tendons and the demon bones, he will definitely be able to forge a super power that is no less than that of the Demon Lord and Xiang Tiange in the past. Strengthen the body.

With this kind of body as a puppet, his achievements may not be inferior to those of the Demon Lord back then, and the unification of the Demon Sect is just around the corner.

Coupled with the wealth he has accumulated over the years, he can even do things that the Demon Lord could not do back then.

only……

Although she is a saint of the demon sect and possesses unparalleled talent in demonic arts, she is actually very repulsive to the kind of poison that forcibly controls people's minds.

Very savage.

Not at all elegant.

Attacking the mind is the real art.

Especially Zhao Ci... Except for Meng Lang's actions that made her have murderous intentions, overall the young man was quite admired by her.

What's more, these Meng Lang's actions were also done out of necessity to test whether she was his biological mother.

of course.

She was sure that there couldn't be any lust in it, but it was enough to dispel his malice.

And...if he really became a puppet, it would be difficult for anyone in this world to take the initiative to guess what he wanted to eat like him.

As for him saying it's part of the temptation...

This is pure nonsense!

and so.

Gu Xiangzhu finally chose the third path, which was to let Zhao Ci become one of his own who was loyal to him and could not give birth to the slightest reluctance.

This is the most difficult.

But it was the approach that suited her best.

It is also the most suitable approach for the current situation.

Because she could see that Zhao Ci was subconsciously dependent on herself based on his current performance. This dependence was most likely related to his identity as a "fake mother and concubine".

She didn't think it was honorable to use feelings, especially when the feelings came from someone she was pretending to be.

But this is the only way she can quickly separate Zhao Ci from Zhao Huan's control.

If he becomes his confidant, he will also treat him well.

As long as he can't get rid of his mental dependence on himself.

This kind of people.

It's a pity to be a waste.

It's even more of a pity to be a puppet.

In the final analysis, life is still miserable, having been reborn in such a child.

It's just that she has some doubts in her heart. Will she be involved in this?

After all, the human heart is the most unpredictable.

If an eager young man appears out of thin air, it will really affect the efficiency of her career.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems unlikely.

Zhao Ci is just a young man and there is no way he could push himself to that point.

Just as she was entangled in her thoughts.

Zhao Ci had already come over with a dinner plate and put the food on the table.

As usual, it was fried mushrooms, three plates of vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of white rice.

"Am I the only one who can eat it?"

Gu Xiangzhu was a little puzzled.

"I have already eaten……"

Zhao Ci blurted out, and then quickly changed his words: "I'm just returning the favor. The relationship between you and me is not to the point where we can eat together."

Gu Xiangzhu stared into his eyes for a long time and sighed softly: "It doesn't matter, it's been so many years anyway, I can come here to eat alone."

This tone seemed to hide the sadness and loss very well.

Zhao Ci opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Gu Xiangzhu chewed his food slowly, and asked with a smile: "You had lunch with your father, right?"

"Ok!"

Zhao Ci responded dully, but still had no intention of sitting down.

Gu Xiangzhu sighed softly: "Are you still as comfortable as before?"

Zhao Ci was silent, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

"What about after that?"

Gu Xiangzhu shook his head with some emotion: "This is just the first day you feel lonely. One day is okay, one month is okay, one year is okay, but... ten years?"

Zhao Ci's eyes trembled, he hesitated for a moment, and finally sat opposite Gu Xiangzhu.

I couldn't help but ask: "You... are not having a good time in the palace?"

"It doesn't matter if it's good or not."

Gu Xiangzhu shook his head and smiled: "It's just that I am surrounded by a group of people who never treat each other sincerely, and I do things I don't like at all. But accumulating bit by bit will eventually make me feel more at ease."

Hearing this, Zhao Ci fell into a long silence.

He carefully peeked at Gu Xiangzhu several times and found that she was just eating her meal with her head slightly lowered, and her eyes became bolder.

There seemed to be a hint of distress and pity in his eyes.

The atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

"It, in fact..."

Zhao Ci broke the embarrassment and laughed pretending to be hearty: "Actually, I don't have any hostility towards you. Speaking of which, you have helped me a lot. Although you have replaced my mother's identity, the fault is not yours. Well, Well…it doesn’t have to be so lonely.”

"what?"

Gu Xiangzhu paused while eating, took a deep breath, and did not express his attitude towards his statement, and then returned to his previous calmness and calmness.

"What do you want to eat tomorrow?"

Zhao Ci pretended to ask casually, but felt it was inappropriate, so he asked in a covert manner: "What I mean is to return the favor as soon as possible."

Gu Xiangzhu smiled lightly and said: "Anything is fine, just do what only you can do."

"Um……"

Zhao Ci responded and fell into silence again.

Oh shit!

This bitch is a master.But even if she has some conscience, she actually just wants to tame me into a little puppy instead of being so vicious as a puppet.

Although she is a scumbag who plays with people's emotions, do you think you want to tame me with this?Unless you use your body...

Don't think about these for now.

For now, it's better to take your time.

"correct!"

Zhao Ci suddenly felt worried: "I was in the imperial study room just now, and something seemed to have happened to me."

Gu Xiangzhu raised his slender eyebrows: "What's the situation?"

Zhao Ci frowned, recounted the situation in the royal study just now, and asked worriedly: "This is the first time I have contradicted my father, will it arouse suspicion?"

"Probably not!"

Gu Xiangzhu waved his hand: "It is normal for the young man to be angry at the beauty. He will not doubt it. However... this move is still a bit risky after all.

If you want to use this matter to enhance your reputation, the most sensible thing to do is to do what Zhao Yong said.

Put all the elixirs into Beisan County. The people of Beisan County will remember you, but it will only be limited to Beisan County.

It is thankless to insist on your opinion today, and you are not allowed to do it again in the future. "

"A man can do something and not do something!"

Zhao Ci snorted: "I have never thought about fighting for the throne, and asking the emperor to give elixirs is just to benefit the people. What's more, I have already promised Kan Luotang, how can I break my promise easily? Moreover, my father is benevolent and has always intended to soften his words. Times are tough in Beisan County, why can’t I do this?”

This young man has quite a temper!

Gu Xiangzhu felt more and more that it would be fun if he could conquer Zhao Ci.

But after hearing what he said, he still admired Zhao Huan from the bottom of his heart. After all, Emperor Wu Xian was the hero in the hearts of almost everyone in Dayu.She even felt that even if one day Zhao Huan really wanted to touch his waist, he would only feel sad instead of resenting Zhao Huan.

No hurry.

She looked a little annoyed: "I'm just thinking about you, why are you so excited?"

Zhao Ci was speechless: "I, I'm not angry with you!"

Gu Xiangzhu stood up and said, "That's it! You are loyal to others, filial to others, and righteous to others. You know very well what you should do. Why should I easily comment on it and pretend to be a villain?"

Zhao Ci: "I..."

Gu Xiangzhu made a gesture of invitation: "The Danhui matter is related to your achievements and my financial resources. We should work together. I will not harm you. As for the favor you think you owe, pay it back as soon as possible." I still have things to deal with, so I won’t send you away!”

Zhao Ci: "..."

He hesitated for a while.

He could only take a step to leave, but stopped again when he reached the door of the courtyard, looked back with a worried look, and then turned around and left Wangshu Palace.

Wait for him to go away.

Gu Xiangzhu then leaned against the window and looked in the direction he left, with a smile on his lips.

This young man.

Pretty fun.

……

On the carriage back to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Ci cursed.

"Damn!"

"It's a master!"

"This repeated push and pull and moodiness are the same as the female Sea King who took my first blood in the previous life."

"Speaking of which, is she really perfect?"

Nothing to say!
We are pretending to each other!
He rubbed his face for a while, feeling that this bug was not particularly easy to jam.

but……

As long as he shows that he is being conquered step by step, he should be able to gain a lot of benefits from her.

This kind of thing must be taken care of slowly.

Don't be too hasty.

Especially you have to stay awake, otherwise you will really become a puppy, without even milk, it will be pitiful and ruthless.

Zhao Ci shook his head and went home directly.

Practice first and then talk.

I will go to Beisan County in a few days. The public security in that place is very chaotic, and I can't do it without force.

With Xiang Yunduan's speed, he should be able to get the wine-making utensils out in the evening, and he would still have to put some effort into assembling them.

At that time, Xiang Yunduan will still have to hire some trustworthy wine-making employees.

Otherwise, go get some death row prisoners in the cell yourself.

There are many strange poisons that can be configured in the Secret Code of Hundred Poisons. As long as the poisoning method is cumbersome enough, even if Gu Xiangzhu comes, he may not be able to crack it.

He has not yet decided which of the two methods is better.

However, there is no problem in using Xiang's family to do the work. Xiang Yunduan only objects to his recruiting too many government officials to share the meat, and does not object to his making money, and he even supports it.

As long as his treatment is adequate, he shouldn't object.

It hurts to say it.

Lin Ge is such a big person, but he is the only one he can completely trust.

Zhu Li can be trusted, but this girl has a certain anger in her heart. This anger was given by Zhu Jiang. If one day Zhu Jiang asks her to return to Zhu's house, it will be difficult for her to refuse.

At least with the current friendship between the two, she would not refuse.

In comparison.

Feng Kucha is more believable, but this brother is still in a state of being unable to do anything and not eating enough.

The government must be opened.

Cultivating one's own power and condensing all government officials into a community of interests is the basis for a foothold.

It's just... He looked at the list given by Kan Luotang. It recorded in detail the cultivation, preferences and even difficulty of the potential heroes. It had to be said that Kan Luotang really put his heart into making this list.

However, just looking at their cultivation, they are at best among the best among their peers. If he was still a loser, he would definitely think that these people are good.But now that their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, this list feels a bit uninteresting.

At least until Zhao Ci is sure that he can't find a better one, he won't spend a lot of money to invite them to join.

To be honest, it’s a bit of a headache!

You have to be ready when you go home later.

Dinner three days later.

Can't let it go.

High-end combat power cannot be obtained, but civilian resources must be firmly grasped.

……

Before I knew it, three days had passed.

In these three days, Xingyu Danhui has returned to production. From top to bottom, there is a warm atmosphere of working together for development.

On the other hand, Yonghe Danfang looked gloomy and gloomy.

They are already stressed enough.

As a result, another large order of a thousand Qi Training Pills came to suppress it, and these one thousand pills were sold out.

Not to mention making money, I don’t even dare to think about the cost price.

The cost of medicinal materials, furnace consumption, and labor costs all have to be paid for by yourself.

Just like Te Niang's enemy.

Although they are not without wages, most of these are young elites from the Feng Zhu family, and they will certainly feel resentful after suffering so much scorn for nothing.

"Victory or defeat is standard issue!"

Zhu Yan reprimanded with a straight face: "When the mountains and rivers were broken in the past, my ancestors of the Zhu family shouldered nearly half of Dayu's supply of elixirs and were unwilling to earn a penny more. Only then did they lay a glorious foundation.

The feud between the clans is inherently cruel. If you can succeed, you will all be the elders of Yonghe Danfang. When the prince ascends the throne, you will all be heroes, and your status will be far higher than that of the same year when you were hunkered down in the clan and enjoying comfort.

How can such a future be achieved comfortably? "

After hearing this, all the young people present were shocked.

Although there are still some emotions.

But gritted his teeth.

The flames in the palms of his hands became strong again.

Alchemy!

Damn it!

Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong looked at him with an expression of appreciation, and then whispered: "Tonight's dinner at the Ten Prince's Palace, you come with me."

Zhu Yan was a little surprised: "Are we going too?"
