After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 26
He struggled to control his expression, stepping aside to let the little demon tribe members into the room.
Demon tribe characteristics were evident, with a long average lifespan and a short childhood period, growing rapidly overall. Despite their young age, their capabilities were not to be underestimated.
For someone like Xinghui, who had never been around children and faced the top demon tribe forces directly in the desolate star system, these little demon tribe members seemed harmless and even cute.
Three young demon tribe members arrived with two small carts carrying processed energy ore. Besides the girl who handed him the energy ore and the boy with the cute but fierce voice, there was another silent one who silently followed the fierce-sounding demon tribe member in pushing the carts inside.
Xinghui listened to the sounds around him, holding the energy ore in his hand.
The girl felt that the crimson energy ore held by Xinghui’s elegant and fair hand was indeed beautiful. She glanced at Xinghui’s other injured hand. Even this little demon tribe member, only a few years old, couldn’t help but sigh like a little adult.
How could the Great God be so fragile?
She wiped the water droplets from her hand, her eye color still relatively light. With bright red eyes earnestly watching Xinghui, she asked, “How does Great God feel?”
“It’s good.”
Xinghui, who dared to negotiate cooperation and trade with Yuanyuan, faced this little cutie unexpectedly and didn’t know what kind of posture to assume. In the end, he couldn’t resist and bent down.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Jie Yuan,” the little demon tribe member’s cute voice followed, “and the one who didn’t speak is Jiang Xing. That fierce one over there is Lu Cun. Our task is to deliver energy stones to the Great God, and it should always be us coming over.”
Xinghui bent his lips and smiled. “Thank you.”
With black hair and snow-white skin, beautiful and delicate, especially in line with the demon tribe’s aesthetics, this smile left Jie Yuan stunned.
“Hey!” Lu Cun, upon hearing his name, turned his head and glared at Jie Yuan, putting down what he was holding. He rushed over in three steps, grabbing Jie Yuan and pulling her next to him. He gave her a dissatisfied look, then dragged her away without waiting for a response.
“The items are already placed by the bed. We’re leaving.”
After saying this, without waiting for Xinghui’s reply, the irritable little demon tribe member had already pulled his companion out of the room. The silent little demon tribe member also quickly walked to the door, closing it thoughtfully behind them.
Xinghui held the energy ore in his hand, turning back to the bed.
The tuft of hair on his head swayed as he moved, and he slapped his cheek.
No, now was not the time to think about how cute these little demon tribe members were. He needed to focus on recovering his spiritual power and gaining faith.
Outside the corridor, Lu Cun dragged Jie Yuan to run ahead, stopping only after turning two corners.
“Why did you tell him our names?”
“We were assigned the task of delivering energy stones to the Great God, right? It’s been many days; we just told him our names.”
“Hmph, everyone else has other tasks, but we’re the ones delivering energy stones to him.”
Lu Cun muttered, dissatisfied with this task. He turned to look at Jiang Xing, who was following them.
“We’re all getting irritated. Jiang Xing, don’t you think so?”
The slightly taller little boy had fair skin, soft black hair falling gently, and a small horn partially covering his forehead. Without looking at them, he walked past them, and the bright armband on his shoulder shimmered.
“Soldiers must follow orders.”
After they were out of sight, Lu Cun snorted.
“Pretentious.”
After saying this, he continued to glare at Jie Yuan.
“We’ve heard countless stories about the Abyss and the evil gods since we were kids. You can’t be deceived just because the other person looks good and seems like a good person. He looked so fierce when he first appeared!”
Jie Yuan pulled her hand away, also snorting. “I’m just following orders.”
Turning around, she walked quickly behind Jiang Xing.
Leaving Lu Cun staring, he quickly caught up.
“Hey, hey! I told you, don’t be deceived by the evil god!”

In these days, Xinghui had been staying in the room, holding the energy stones to restore his spiritual power.
With the resonance of his spiritual power, the energy inside the stones was purified, and his spiritual power gradually recovered. Although it was not much different from when he first arrived in the desolate star system, Xinghui felt a sense of security.
A small airship covered by Xinghui’s spiritual power had departed a day ago, and today it had passed through the isolation zone separating the desolate star system and was on its way to the Rejuvenation Star.
At this moment, Xinghui sat in the command room, holding a delicious and nutritious high-level nutrient solution. He sipped it occasionally, listening to the demon tribe discussing how to deal with the group led by Shixi. Occasionally, there were incomprehensible data mixed in.
He had been silent since entering, maintaining his divine image and trying not to attract the demon tribe’s attention when there was nothing to do.
The nutrient solution in his hand, however, tasted good.
Xinghui took another sip with the straw.
Born from the Abyss, although his power belonged to the cosmic forces, his physique was different from that of interstellar beings. He had little need for the pleasures of eating, and he wasn’t accustomed to it.
This aspect was somewhat similar to the demon tribe. In the desolate star system, resources were scarce, and besides occasionally grilling the meat of star beasts, most demon tribe members consumed nutritional supplements for their daily needs.
This difference was significant between the desolate star system and the alliance. The alliance had a variety of delicious food, especially loved by Moonlight, who was very particular about food. Many people put a lot of effort into this aspect to gain the favor of the gods and become the chefs of the imperial tribute.
However, for Xinghui, during his years in the alliance, activities like seeing with eyes and eating were optional. He never engaged in behaviors that would make him look disheveled, so he had never tasted those so-called delicacies. Occasionally, Moonlight would come to visit him and talk about those delicious foods. At that time, Xinghui didn’t feel much, but now, sipping the sweet and sour nutrient solution, he had some understanding.
Yuanyuan sat next to Xinghui, watching him sit there, his small face still cold and calm. However, he held a bottle of nutrient solution with a straw, quietly sipping, looking somewhat obedient.
This feeling was strange, so strange that everyone couldn’t help but look over, unable to shift their gaze.
At this moment, probably all the demon tribes had a common thought—didn’t the alliance boast about a flourishing culinary culture? How come their little god, who came from the alliance, could be so enthusiastic about drinking a nutrient solution?
Meanwhile, messages lit up on the screen, indicating a communication request from the dispatched small airship.
“Formation 537, Lu Xuan, requests communication.”
Author’s note:
Xinghui: Ah, nutrient solution is delicious, and it doesn’t affect the divine image. Perfect!
Other demon tribes: Oh, our little god is so delighted with just drinking a nutrient solution. How did the higher-level star systems treat him in the alliance?!
