After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 24

The surroundings became unusually quiet.

 

Quiet to the point that Xinghui’s thoughts began to waver.

 

What’s wrong?

 

Why did everyone suddenly stop talking?

 

Is he facing the wrong direction?

 

Did he say something wrong?

 

The invisible little deity’s tuft of hair on the head swayed slightly with his subtle movements.

 

Xinghui struggled to suppress the expression of confusion.

 

To outsiders, the deity stood perfectly in the brightest spot of light, skin so fair it reflected, especially for those who witnessed Xinghui snatch Huan Yun back from the brink of death among the demon tribe, it was hard to describe the feeling.

 

This kind of awe, not seen for many years, was truly felt from Xinghui at this moment.

 

So why the sudden silence?

 

Or did his words just now make the exile of the demon tribe for so many years seem too trivial?

 

But he didn’t seem to delve too deeply into it.

 

Their unintentional, reverent silence with eyes filled with admiration made the invisible Xinghui feel a bit awkward.

 

Regardless of him or the demon tribe, the ingrained notion of not having faith in the demon tribe was deeply rooted. Xinghui had witnessed a lot of interactions among the demon tribe in these days.

 

Now Xinghui couldn’t quite understand, but he didn’t want to linger in this place any longer.

 

He reached out his hand.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

The slightly melancholic feeling given by the pretty demon just now made Xinghui a bit uncomfortable. Yuanyuan had always used his fists to “convince people,” and he never thought he would one day ponder how to coax someone and make them happy. While he was contemplating, that soft, white, and tender hand reached out.

 

Elegant and unspoiled by wind and frost.

 

Yuanyuan suddenly realized.

 

Oh, this time he wanted to hold hands.

 

At this moment, unseen, Xinghui intended to let Yuanyuan lead him to hear how they would arrange things. Xinghui felt his hand being held.

 

Those hands were a whole size larger than his, and when they encircled his hand, the warmth made his fingertips tremble slightly.

 

Xinghui initially wanted to pull back his hand, but sensing the movement of his fingertips, Yuanyuan tilted his head. “What’s wrong? Walking too fast?”

 

The other party seemed like a warm stove. In just a short time, he directly warmed his fingertips. The feeling wasn’t uncomfortable, and wherever he grasped, they continued to move forward. Xinghui didn’t retract his hand.

 

Following him out of the door, Xinghui’s steps were neither slow nor fast. He shook his head. “No, I just experimented earlier. Being near the energy mine does help me recover my mental power, but it only restores me to the level I was before. We should proceed with our cooperation as soon as possible.”

 

Xinghui could feel that to truly strengthen his mental power, he still needed belief or something else.

 

Meanwhile, Shi Xi, whose heart was pounding, snapped out of a tremendous shake in his spiritual consciousness.

 

If Xinghui’s posture just now made other demon tribes unable to help but stop what they were doing and gaze up in awe, then Shi Xi, who was just electrocuted by Xinghui’s mental power, was internally shaken. It was like there was a little Shi Xi inside his heart cheering wildly for Xinghui.

 

Now, as he watched Xinghui leave, he opened his mouth, but the one who was usually skilled at spitting out sharp and sarcastic words was left speechless.

 

Was what Xinghui just said true?

As a child of the Abyss, defying the will of the Abyss, knowing the assistance the Abyss provides to the gods, yet still asking questions about the demon tribe, led to abandonment by the Abyss. Eventually abandoned by the alliance, they ended up in the desolate star system, still determined to protect them.

 

Is this a god?

 

Bound tightly, he struggled to stand.

 

He happened to see that rascal Yuanyuan holding hands with the little god, acting as the exclusive guard, with a dominating spiritual power that even demons around cautiously avoided. The solidified spiritual power enveloped the god.

 

How dare that rascal hold the hand of Lord God?!

 

Sensing his gaze, Yuanyuan lazily turned his head, giving him a provocative look.

 

The invasion came quickly and ended quickly.

 

He had planned everything, ensuring enough time to grab some energy minerals and leave quickly.

 

But with so many warehouses, he unluckily chose the one where Yuanyuan was located. Yuanyuan rushed over with full force, and the Z30 group, like madmen, converged, despite being scattered throughout the Z30 star system.

 

The moment they received the message, even the high-ranking demon tribe had to fly back and suppress them with full force.

 

Shixi: …

 

He had just cursed them as having a mental illness, like rabid dogs.

 

Now he looked down at the ropes on himself and his bound companions.

 

Thinking back to the expression and tone of the little god disliking them a bit, along with the injury on his hand caused by Xinghui.

 

Damn.

 

Shixi widened his eyes as the warehouse door closed.

 

The little flower buds that had just blossomed in his heart drooped suddenly.

 

Can this still be smoothed over?

 

Can he make Xinghui dislike them just a tiny bit less?

 

*

 

The road from the warehouse to the command room was somewhat long.

 

Yuanyuan held Xinghui’s hand, walking particularly slowly.

 

He took one step, and Xinghui took two.

 

At this moment, Xinghui, who was a head shorter, was held by him, and the injury on the other hand, though not severe, looked more terrifying because Xinghui was so delicate that even a gentle bump could make it swell and horrifying.

 

On this journey, Yuanyuan pondered countless ways to deal with Shixi.

 

While unable to see, Xinghui, still walking gracefully, lowered his thick black eyelashes, contemplating how to approach him.

 

“Can I frequently visit the warehouse later? I feel I can purify the energy minerals appropriately, benefiting my spiritual recovery. I can also provide you with higher-level energy minerals. Occasionally, I can assist in rescuing severely injured patients, just like Huan Yun.”

 

Xinghui was thinking about cooperation, which he hadn’t considered with the demon tribe before. But now that cooperation had been established, it needed to be mutually beneficial to prevent it from collapsing.

 

The little god felt his proposal was very sincere, so he confidently approached Yuanyuan.

 

Meanwhile, Yuanyuan was observing the intertwined hands of the two, pondering how this person could look so tender without calluses on his hands. Holding hands with him felt like holding a cool, soft water. Although he was relatively fair among the demon tribe, the contrast between the color of his hand’s back and Xinghui’s skin was striking.

 

In response to Xinghui’s words, he agreed, still staring at their clasped hands, clearly not focused on the recent events. “Every day, we’ll send processed energy minerals to your side. The warehouse is too dusty, and you’re too fragile. Be careful not to get sick.”

 

Is he really that weak?

 

In the Bright Star, his body had been fine, and his spiritual power was slowly recovering. Being a god, he wouldn’t easily succumb to common illnesses.

 

Xinghui opened his mouth, suddenly realizing that in the desolate star system, the scorching sunlight could be painful, and there was always the possibility of encountering storms that could overturn him.

 

His little strand of hair on his head shook slightly, as if shocked by his own vulnerability in the desolate star system. Xinghui couldn’t find words and lowered his head, his small face expressionless.

 

Oh, why was he so weak?

 

Finally shifting his gaze away, Yuanyuan recalled the latter part of Little God’s words.

 

Huan Yun?

 

“The situation that got out of control was just that one instance. With the assistance of Lord God’s energy minerals in the future, such incidents shouldn’t easily occur again.”

 

Yuanyuan smiled.

 

They had said it before – the demon tribe had no faith. Huan Yun’s situation was an exception, and attempting to replicate it wouldn’t win hearts. Moreover, if everyone insisted on becoming Xinghui’s bodyguards, what would happen then?

 

Normal words always seemed to have a sarcastic, cynical tone when spoken by him.

 

Little God didn’t want to engage with him.

 

After walking a few more steps, Yuanyuan, who had been observing for a while, finally stopped dwelling on other matters and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t you feel tired? How about I carry you there?”

 

The distance between the warehouse and the command center was originally far. Yuanyuan took large steps, but Xinghui walked gracefully, remembering his divine dignity, moving slowly and steadily with a graceful demeanor.

 

Yuanyuan couldn’t help but feel the slow pace was strangely hot, the heat disturbing his thoughts and mixed with annoyance. Perhaps it was just that the little god was walking too slowly.

 

Xinghui didn’t know what had gotten into this person.

 

But he continued to walk earnestly, saying, “No.”

 

Now there were no injured patients, and gaining faith from the remote planets in the lower star systems wouldn’t happen immediately. Naturally, he had to maintain his dignity and walk slowly, instead of being carried by this guy.

 

What would that look like?

 

So, two words successfully silenced Yuanyuan.

When the command room’s door reopened, the previously chaotic place had been tidied up.

 

Xiya sat in the vice-captain’s position, rising when he heard the sound.

 

“Boss, everything is arranged more or less…”

 

His words paused, then softened with a gentle smile.

 

“Lord God.”

 

This single address made all the demon tribes inside the command room instantly look up, their eyes focused on the doorway.

 

Xinghui hadn’t interacted much with Xiya, but most demon tribes were assertive and unruly, having a dominant personality. There weren’t many demon tribes like Xiya these days.

 

Hearing this respectful tone, Xinghui felt a bit uncomfortable, but he nodded with a serious expression.

 

“We’ve already selected personnel. When Lord God’s strength recovers a bit and the people who can resist the Abyss’s influence are ready, we can set off. The first target is the Reconnect Star. There are signs of life activities there, and the Alliance hasn’t had time to send people to investigate, so the specific situation is unclear.”

 

Without waiting for Xinghui to speak, Xiya smilingly provided the information.

 

The efficiency of the demon tribe was indeed fast. They had just concluded a cooperation deal, and immediately after, the other party was already well-prepared.

 

Feeling like he was lagging behind due to his not fully recovered strength, Xinghui nodded nonetheless.

 

“When you are ready, I will inform you immediately. Also, there’s one more thing. Can you explore the resource situation on Reconnect Star and the surrounding smaller affiliated planets?”

 

“Of course, but the resources in the desolate star system are currently sufficient. May I ask if you want them?”

 

Yuanyuan hadn’t spoken since entering the room, leaning against the doorway, listening to Xinghui and Xiya discussing other planets and races. He felt a subtle discomfort in his heart.

 

It wasn’t until Xinghui’s lips formed a light smile, his expression gentle, displaying a delicate and beautiful side profile, that Yuanyuan, who had been standing silently, straightened up.

 

“If they can become my followers, I will do my best to do what I can for them.”

 

The demon tribe had never seen Xinghui with such a gentle expression.

 

Yuanyuan stood up straight.

 

The author has something to say:

 

Shixi: What to do?!

 

Lord Hui: In dealings with the demon tribe, we need to make it profitable for them, and for the races under my protection, they might be fragile, so I’ll try to do good for them!

 

Yuanyuan: Damn!

Today, there was a bit of an issue. Due to well-known reasons, I went out for shopping and returned late. It’s also too cold, and the wind gave me a headache. I squinted for a while and accidentally overslept, so I’m late. I’m guilty (holds head).

 

Please collect the story, dear readers!!!
