After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 56
Something Wrong with the Divine Fragment?
The live broadcast of the Bright Star Imperial Family continued, but the demon clan quickly cut out the previous footage and projected it onto the largest screen.
Xinghui was carefully examining the divine fragment on the screen.
Several members of the demon clan also frowned as they watched.
While watching, they glanced in Xinghui’s direction.
Having followed Xinghui on several outings, although they hadn’t actually held the divine fragments themselves, they had seen many pieces of them.
In their eyes, all divine fragments looked the same.
Transparent like beautiful rare gems, emitting a faint warm white light, sometimes twinkling.
Although they despised the Alliance guys, they were very much hoping that what the Alliance got were fake fragments. However, after staring at them for a long time, regardless of the light or the style of the divine fragment, there was no difference from what they had seen before.
They looked at Xinghui suspiciously again.
And Xinghui nodded seriously, looking at them with conviction.
“It’s indeed not right. Have you noticed?”
Other members of the demon clan: …
Yuanyuan, who was standing behind Xinghui, also chimed in, with a serious expression of agreement.
“I noticed. You truly are observant.”
The sudden praise broke Xinghui’s serious demeanor, and he subconsciously glanced at Yuanyuan’s face.
Well, that’s a very serious compliment.
Xinghui, already overwhelmed by various compliments from the demon clan: … Alright, he’ll have to get used to it.
The little deity pretended to be calm and nodded.
Other members of the demon clan: Even if it’s Lord Divine, but Boss, what exactly did you see?
“That piece of divine fragment is not lively at all.”
And Yuanyuan spoke very confidently.
The divine fragments Xinghui received were all lively beyond measure. Not only would they spontaneously come to Xinghui and rub against him, but if they saw something they didn’t like, they would unhesitatingly rush up and knock their heads against it. They were very human-like. But the divine fragments around Yuejian had absolutely no humanity about them.
They seemed mechanical in their movements.
Xinghui was surprised that Yuanyuan could be so meticulous, and couldn’t help but glance at him, then quickly suppressed his surprise.
Still, he maintained his calm and reliable demeanor.
“Yes, that’s one observable manifestation.”
Yuanyuan smiled knowingly.
Actually, it wasn’t observed from the appearance, but from the competition for attention with the divine fragments, and from the experience of being knocked on the head by the divine fragments.
“And one more thing, you may not have noticed. When the light flashes, it looks similar to the divine fragment, but it’s not the same. Occasionally, there’s a Bright light that feels powerful.”
Xinghui stared at the screen, watching the divine fragment revolving around Yuejian for the first time.
This is something that even instruments might not detect.
Xinghui could notice it because he had been unable to see for a long time, and could only see some traces of spiritual power, making him particularly sensitive to this kind of situation.
Almost at the first moment the Bright light flashed, Xinghui sensed it.
“So what’s the situation with this divine fragment?”
Yuanyuan watched for a while and asked again.
“Is it fake?”
“It seems like it’s fake, but the feeling of power is like it’s real. So I feel something is very wrong. Wasn’t this fragment sent to Yuejian by the mermaid clan’s Fengyu?”
Xinghui stroked his chin.
“At least one thing is certain, this divine fragment definitely has a problem. If it’s really made, then the person who made it must have seen real divine fragments.”
At this moment, the live broadcast of the Bright Star Imperial Family has ended, and the screen goes black.
The upcoming divine show aimed at regaining public favor is scheduled to take place in five days.
“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that the situation with that divine fragment is different from what we encountered. After all, it’s possible that it was obtained from a natural disaster. But if it’s indeed fake, then the situation could be very bad.”
Xinghui pursed his lips, pondering something.
“If it’s fake, then someone behind it has seen real divine fragments and made fakes. Perhaps even more has been done. Maybe even situations like what happened with Yuejian are manipulated by someone behind the scenes. And now, Abyss’s power has diminished due to the depletion caused by the natural disaster.”
Yuanyuan continued what Xinghui wanted to say, then a tall demon chuckled.
“If it’s true, then what Yuanquan did would be laughable.”
He’s probably been manipulated since a few years ago.
“Previously, Abyss and the cosmic storms were in balance, with Abyss responsible for handling the birth of divine power from the storms. Never before have post-storm natural disasters caused Abyss to act again. It can be said that five years ago, after the birth of the deities, Abyss’s responsibility ended. But now, even in the upper star systems, there are natural disasters that require Abyss to resist. This is not good news at all, and we can’t see much through the screen.”
Xinghui quickly spoke up.
“We need to confirm what the situation is with that divine fragment… Five days should be enough.”
Although the distance between the Bright stars and the demon clan is quite far, they can reach the Bright stars at full speed, and most of the time will be spent on disguise.
But now, as Xinghui looked at the screenshot of the divine fragment on the screen, he felt more and more uncertain about the unsettling truth that had eluded him all along.
After Xinghui said this, the atmosphere in the command room became noticeably uneasy.
The demons were unconsciously rubbing their hands together.
That’s just what they were waiting for.
After watching the video that the palace was originally planning to release, many demons wanted to have a “talk” with the lunatics in the Bright star palace.
Xiya had already organized the information and quickly went to prepare.
Xinghui also contemplated the current situation, grabbing a nutritional supplement from the side.
With slender fingers, he casually opened the cap of the nutritional liquid.
While pondering what to do next—besides confirming whether the divine fragment was real or fake, what else they needed to do, and what preparations they needed to make to safely return from the Bright stars.
Even if the divine fragment turned out to be fake, should they investigate the truth behind it, or if the divine fragment was real, should they try to obtain it themselves.
Oh, his thoughts had really been led astray by the demons, thinking about going there and back. If it’s really fake, why not just snatch the divine fragment, especially since Yuejian, as a deity, is so despicable.
Not to mention that the Alliance is now heavily promoting the role of divine fragments.
But in reality, Xinghui could clearly feel that the divine fragment is just an auxiliary for him. What really supports him is his increasingly powerful spiritual power, supplemented by faith and divine fragments.
Xinghui pondered.
The little deity looked coldly beautiful.
Yuanyuan had just executed the command and turned his head to see Xinghui in this state, a serious expression on the young man in military uniform, but his actions were casual, opening the cap of the nutrient liquid. He didn’t even notice whether there was a straw or not, casually aiming at the bottle of nutrient liquid and taking a sip.
It was only at this moment that Yuanyuan noticed that the color of the nutrient liquid in Xinghui’s hand seemed a bit off.
It seemed to be different from the nutrient liquids prepared for Xinghui in the laboratory.
As the light green nutrient liquid entered his throat, Xinghui’s eyes widened involuntarily.
The stimulating taste made the little deity choke for a moment, and for a moment, he wanted to cough out loud without caring about his image.
But after glancing at the surroundings, Xinghui resisted the urge, and a thin layer of mist quickly covered the bottom of his eyes. Taking advantage of the fact that the demons around him were busy executing orders and not paying much attention to him, Xinghui quickly turned and walked towards the door.
Yuanyuan hurried to catch up.
At the corner outside the command room, Yuanyuan reached out and put his hand under Xinghui’s lips, a bit urgent.
“It may be some stimulating nutrient liquid that other demons drink, not the ones prepared for you. Spit it out first—”
Spit it out?
Spit it onto his hand?
Too embarrassing!
But Xinghui, holding back the mist in his eyes, retained some semblance of rationality. He forcefully swallowed the liquid, then couldn’t help but open his mouth and cough.
“Cough, cough—cough, it’s so spicy—cough, what is this—”
Yuanyuan had taken the half-drunk nutritional liquid from Xinghui’s hand and carefully examined the small label on it—Devil Pepper flavor.
This kind of thing was too stimulating for the delicate little deity, and the momentary stimulation made the usually sharp-eyed little deity misty-eyed, and his throat was a bit hoarse from coughing.
He looked like he was tortured by this liquid.
This was probably something confiscated from the elves.
Yuanyuan wasn’t sure what kind of impact this liquid would have on the delicate little deity, so he was worried. He gently cradled Xinghui’s chin with one hand and tried to pry open Xinghui’s mouth with the other to see if the stimulation had caused any injury.
But he was clumsy.
Xinghui was still coughing from the spiciness and even wanted to breathe with his mouth open. He couldn’t help but cough softly.
The sweet-toothed little deity almost sent away the spicy-flavored nutritional liquid that was being experimented on by other demons in the laboratory on a whim.
“Ack—ack—so spicy, don’t touch me. Do you have any other nutritional liquids?”
Xinghui’s cheeks flushed with a light haze from the spiciness, and his lips took on a shiny red glow.
He could feel tears welling up in his eyes, and he was still coughing.
Faced with this follower who was trying hard to pry open his lips to check his throat, Xinghui resisted with all his might.
He felt that his divine image was ruined by this bottle of bizarre nutritional liquid.
He had endured injuries and confrontations with people, but in the end, his noble divine image was ruined by a bottle of spicy nutritional liquid.
Who could have imagined this?!
“Don’t fuss, let me take a look, your throat is hoarse.”
Yuanyuan gently cradled Xinghui’s face, his fingers holding the bottle of nutritional liquid that Xinghui had taken a sip of, while his other hand tried hard to pry open Xinghui’s mouth to get a look at his throat.
In his panic, it was inevitable that he was a bit rough. His hand was slapped away by Xinghui a few times. After taking a look and confirming that there was nothing wrong, and after his fingertips were bitten by Xinghui’s annoyed response, Yuanyuan hurriedly opened a bottle of strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement and inserted the straw, bringing it to Xinghui’s lips.
Xinghui took several big sips.
The particularly stimulating sensation in his mouth was suppressed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, maintaining a steady pace of sucking the nutritional liquid, which gradually decreased visibly.
Yuanyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The divine image was too delicate in the minds of the towering demons.
At this moment, he realized that the cold sweat had dampened his military uniform in his panic.
Xinghui’s hurried departure just now.
At this moment, he looked a bit broken by the spiciness, huddled in the corner of the corridor, his body blocked by Yuanyuan in front of him.
There was still a moist feeling in his eyes, but Yuanyuan was leaning too close, so he stiffened his neck, remembering his divine dignity, and didn’t reach out to wipe them, nor did he dare to lower his head. He just raised his eyes, trying hard to keep them open wide as he stared at Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan still had the bottle of spicy nutritional liquid in his hand.
He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xinghui’s eyes.
He felt that those eyes were as beautiful as if they had been washed with water.
“It should have been placed there by the other demons. If you want to drink nutritional supplements, just tell me. Even the laboratory, they’ve come up with all sorts of stuff following the elves.”
Yuanyuan said, his movements very gentle.
His rough fingertips gently brushed across the corners of Xinghui’s eyes.
Even though it was very gentle, Xinghui’s eyes were left with a small patch of red.
“Is it uncomfortable being spicy? I’ll call Yin Fan over.”
So let’s not mention this topic anymore.
The deity seemed a bit annoyed, unable to maintain his usual calmness.
Before, when he casually picked up a nutritional liquid from the table, although it wasn’t as good as the ones specially made for him, it was still drinkable. Xinghui considered himself not a delicate deity who needed constant care, but who would have thought that there would not only be ordinary nutritional liquids on the table, but also this kind of nutritional liquid?
He finally released the straw.
The deity’s lips were now even more rosy.
He had calmed down quite a bit now, and the spicy sensation in his mouth had been suppressed by the sweet strawberry nutritional liquid.
“It’s okay.”
The deity’s voice still had a bit of hoarseness from the coughing.
“It’s not that spicy.”
Yuanyuan met the gaze of those beautiful, translucent eyes.
He felt like his words were choked up.
But this was his own deity—
He finally realized that Xinghui seemed to be consciously hiding all kinds of emotions.
Yuanyuan held the bottle of spicy nutritional liquid and looked down again.
“Okay, okay, it’s not spicy.”
He was afraid that Xinghui would force himself to prove that it wasn’t spicy, so he hurriedly avoided the topic and agreed with his deity.
“Yeah, not that spicy.”
Just as Xinghui’s tears, caused by the spiciness, were still flowing, he watched Yuanyuan swallow the entire bottle of nutritional liquid in three or four gulps. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect, but before it could rise, he heard Yuanyuan say so.
Xinghui:…
He felt like he was being ridiculed.
The little deity pushed Yuanyuan away, his tone carrying a bit of angry embarrassment.
“Alright, hurry up and get ready.”
Don’t let him see this kind of flavored nutritional liquid again!
Author’s Note:
Yuanyuan: Damn, why is he so cute? I have to go along with my wife!
Xinghui: Is he mocking me?! Right?! Right?!
