I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 89

Chapter 89 - Endure

For the entire morning, Ling Pingan fought in the canyon.

He was at the top and was successful in every move he played.

The outstanding battle record and excellent operation naturally attracted some people’s attention.

He received private messages from teams of all sizes in his mailbox gradually.

Without exception, they all invited him to go for a trial.

However, Ling Pingan rejected all of them. In the end, he simply turned off the private messages.

The reason was quite simple. Playing video games was a hobby.

If a hobby became a job or a profession, then a hobby would become a bad thing.

Moreover, becoming a professional was very tiring.

Just look at those office workers. They worked from nine to five, day and night.

There were even leaders watching over them. Once they made a mistake, they might be reprimanded.

He lived his life happily. Why did he have to suffer the wrath of others for a few stinky money? Why did he have work under the mood of others?

Tao Yuanming would not bow to the superior in order to get the scanty pay of rice.

Ling Pingan would not suffer the wrath of others for money either.

He was not short of money to spend!

Ling Pingan put down his phone and brewed himself a cup of fragrant tea.

Then, he gave a small cup to the kitten, Bastet. The man and the kitten were drinking tea happily at the counter.

“I am not going to play games in the afternoon!” Ling Pingan thought, “I’ll work on the new book…”

After deleting one beginning after another in the past two days, Ling Pingan was getting some idea.

This time, he decided to write about the King Soldier of the City.

… … … ..

Liu Zhi raised his head and looked at his father.

The current son of the Emperor of Xinghan, the guardian and protector of the Xinghan temple.

The representative of the Black Dragon Emperor was already old.

More than ten years ago, the kings with the same surname in the south started a rebellion under the instigation of the followers of Tzeentch.

The tip of the spear pointed straight at Chang ‘an.

In the end, the rebellion was wiped off by the cooperation of General Zhou Yafu and King Liang.

However, the Emperor suffered serious internal injuries from then on.

Even he had won the battle with the brothers of the same surname, it was a pyrrhic victory.

That battle had shattered the main cards in the temple into few pieces.

Xinghan’s vitality had been greatly damaged.

Some of these injuries had directly appeared on the Emperor’s body, causing him to suffer from a serious illness and reduce most of his lifespan!

“Zhi!” Although the old son of Heaven’s dragon blood was exhausted, he still had enough power.

Although he was just lying there, the dragon might on his body still filled the palace.

“Father!” Liu Zhi knelt in front of his father’s bed. “I’m back!”

“It’s good that you’re back!” The old Emperor looked at his heir affectionately. “It’s good that you’re back!”

“I just met your aunt…” the old Emperor sat up and held Liu Zhi’s hand. “she’s here to plead for mercy!”

Liu Zhi showed an angry look, but he immediately lowered his eyes. “I’ll listen to your arrangements, father!”

The old Emperor nodded in satisfaction. “My son has grown up!”

He said to himself, “my body will not be able to hold on for long. I will return to the temple and meet with the Gaozu and Taizong…”

The souls of the successive emperors of the Xinghan Kingdom would enter the main temple after their deaths.

They would continue to bless and protect the country, and at the critical moment, they could bend over the clothes that were worshipped in the temple and fight for the country.

However, every time they showed their divinity, they would consume the vitality of the country and their souls.

Therefore, unless it was necessary, the ancestors, generals, and ministers enshrined in the temple would not appear.

The rebellion that happened more than ten years ago had already damaged the vitality of the country seriously.

Liu Zhi understood what his father meant. Now, he needed to endure and lay low.

“At that time!” The old Emperor looked at his son, the future heir, and said, “you still have to rely on your aunt. Letting her go to the Changle Palace and deal with the Empress Dowager!”

“Then let the Empress Dowager support you!”

“I understand!” Liu Zhi said calmly, “everything is for the country and the world!”

“That’s good, that’s good…” the old Emperor touched the crown on his son’s head with great relief. He did not ask how Liu Zhi escaped.

Because he did not need to.

The royal family of Xinghan had always been like this.

They would not ask about the process, only the results.

… … ..

Walking out of his father’s bedroom, a few panda-men guards immediately followed.

The panda-men were the most trusted personal guards of the royal family in this land since ancient times.

For thousands of years, they had also used their loyalty to prove their reliability.

Just like last night when Liu Zhi was assassinated, the eighteen panda-men guards protecting him had all died in battle!

“Your Highness…”

“Your Highness…” Liu Zhi had just walked down the steps when a voice that made him feel nauseous came from behind him.

He turned around and showed an extremely gentle and friendly smile. “Zhang Huangmen… I haven’t seen you for a long time…”

The person who came was the personal eunuch of his mother, the Assistant Minister of the Huangmen, Zhang Xian.

He was a standard follower of Tzeentch.

Starting from the ancestral dragon, these followers of Tzeentch were comfortable in the royal palace.

Especially the concubines in the harem, they all trusted and relied on their ideas and plans.

After all, there was no better place than the harem to play tricks and scheme.

The concubine in the harem itself was a huge market!

Zhang Xian narrowed his eyes and walked in front of Liu Zhi. He knelt and kowtowed, saying, “this servant pays respects to the Crown Prince again!”

“Your Highness…” he raised his head and said with a chuckle, “Her Majesty the Empress ordered this servant to bring a servant to apologize to Your Highness!”

“Your Highness, please do show due respect to Her Majesty the Empress and receive this servant mercifully!”

“Listen to what this dog wants to say… It’s not too late to get angry after that…”

Of course, Liu Zhi knew who was coming.

It must be the leader of the rat-men who had assassinated him last night.

These dirty rats had obtained a piece of territory in Guyuan by bribing the current empress dowager and Taizong’s most favored concubines and obtaining Taizong’s permission.

Thus, these rats had always had a good relationship with the concubines of the imperial palace.

Therefore, Liu Zhi was not angry. He even smiled and said calmly, “since it is the recommendation of Zhang Huangmen, then I am willing to listen!”

A moment later, an old rat-man stumbled in front of Liu Zhi.

He knelt with a thud. “This ignorant and vulgar rat-man Asin from afar pays his respects to the Honorable Crown Prince of the Milky Way Empire, the future guardian, and protector of the Temple!”

As he spoke, he kowtowed with a thud. “This lowly one is guilty. This rat-man deserves to die!”

“This lowly one has failed in teaching and discipline. I caused some ignorant, foolish, and audacious bastards to commit such a heinous crime like assassinating your highness under the instigation of others…”

“This lowly one and all the rat-men know that this is a deadly crime that cannot be forgiven even if they die for it ten thousand times…”

“But without Your Highness’s decision… This lowly one and all the rat-men would not dare to take their own lives as to avoid tarnishing your highness’ benevolence…”

“So, I made my own decision. I’ve already killed those stupid dogs who were used and bewitched by others…”

As it spoke, someone brought boxes to Liu Zhi.

The boxes were opened, revealing the rat-men’s heads that had been slaughtered.

Liu Zhi listened to the words and then looked at those heads.

The anger and dissatisfaction in his heart surged up like never before.

He felt humiliated, offended, and belittled.

But he hid these emotions very well.

He even hoped that outsiders would understand him as someone careless and easily believed in others.

After last night’s events, the crown prince of Xinghan Kingdom had grown up.

So, he smiled and personally went forward to help the old rat-man up. “I know the loyalty of the Aisin clan!”

“Mother, aunt, and the empress dowager have told me more than once that the Aisin rat-men have contributed to the country…”

“So, old sir, you don’t have to blame yourself…”

“Since these sinners are already dead… Let’s close this matter…”

“I will send someone to cancel the arrest and punishment of the Aisin clan…”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” The rat-man’s face was covered in tears as he immediately knelt and kowtowed again.

Liu Zhi helped him up again and comforted him, “old sir, don’t worry so much…”

“When you go back, tell the entire clan that I and the entire Xinghan Kingdom will not blame them…”

“Tell them not to have any burdens and continue to serve the Xinghan’s society and the Ancestral Temple!”

That was a bitter fruit that he had to swallow!

Liu Zhi was clear that his current strength was not enough.

He had to endure it!

He could only endure it!

But…

“I won’t endure your act for too long…” he touched the handwritten notes of the ancestral dragon in his sleeve.

He would immediately start to manufacture and produce the terracotta army according to the notes in the book.

Once the number of the terracotta army reached a certain level…

It would be time for him to take revenge!

Not just on the rat-men of the Aisin clan…

As the owner of an ordinary bookstore, Ling PingAn’s biggest wish was to muddle through life and do absolutely nothing.

However, customers that were right in the middle of their pubescent crisis kept visiting his store in the dead of night.

For the sake of his business, Ling PingAn had to mimic their childish tones, sparing no effort to promote the books in his store.

When he finally managed to sell his books after going through a great verbal tug-o-war, each and every one of them said that they don’t have money, and that they wish to use various tools that were seemingly divine artifacts as pledge.

Looking at these customers, Ling PingAn could only agree to them resignedly.

But little did he know that every single book that these customers purchased from him had altered in appearance.

“Secrets of Cosplay” became “Lower Abyss Research Report”

“Stellaris: Settings for Synth Ascension” was in fact “Gospel for Synthetic Beings”

What’s more, in the eyes of these customers, he was actually a horrifying ruler of Diablos, an indefinable entity that held the reins of all realms.

In this regard, Ling PingAn said, “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.
