C900 Everything Has Been Seen Through
By the time Wu Di returned to his residence, someone had already informed him to pay a visit to the Southern King Mansion. It seemed like both Southern King and Three-headed Snake had already received the news, but why was Southern King late to find him? The thought in his mind was rather intriguing.
When Wu Di arrived at Southern King's mansion, he was immediately brought to the side hall. Southern King was still as lazy as before. He laid on his side on the couch, his eyes half-open.
"Your subordinate greets Southern King."
"You are here. Alright, there is no one else here. There is no need to be so polite. Just find a seat." Southern King said in a low voice.
Wu Di cupped his hands and found a chair to sit on.
After the two of them were silent for a while, Southern King suddenly stood up and sat upright. His actions made Wu Di unconsciously straighten his body.
"I think you know why I called you here. Belle Hu has already told me that in order to get all of Three-headed Snake's forces as soon as possible, you and her went to the south and west area to stir up the water there, right?"
Wu Di did not expect Hsing Hu to really dare to say anything. But after thinking about it carefully, he knew Hsing Hu's intention. Sooner or later, Southern King would know about this matter. Now that Hsing Hu had said it in advance, she could actually do a good favor in front of Southern King.
This would increase Southern King's trust in him, but Wu Di didn't dare to be careless at all. He said, "Southern King, I have something to hide from you to anger me to death."
"Oh?"
"Southern King, I am doing this out of selfishness. " However, I have made my final decision after racking my brains during this period of time. " Wu Di suddenly got up and knelt down in front of Southern King.
Southern King only moved his fingers slightly. He didn't look very emotional. Wu Di did not care about it at all. He lowered his head to show his loyalty.
"Being ambitious is not a bad thing, but there are not many people who can see their way in front of power and benefits. " If Three-headed Snake was half as smart as you, he wouldn't have come to this stage.
Wu Di was silent about this. He couldn't express his opinion. After all, Three-headed Snake was the one who promoted him. People still couldn't forget their roots.
"I wonder... how Southern King will treat Three-headed Snake General in the end." Wu Di suddenly asked.
Southern King chuckled and stood up. "I thought you would be smart enough to not ask this question. Belle Hu, it seems like I lost this bet."
Soon, a person came in from the side door. Who else could it be other than Hsing Hu?
Hsing Hu covered her mouth and laughed, "King, this General Yinbai is so straightforward. But he is not stupid. It is also good to ask you directly. How are you going to answer?"
"Belle Hu, this king has finally seen through it. Do you like General Yinbai? Upon closer inspection, he was indeed quite handsome.
Hsing Hu was teased instead and immediately blushed as she said," I hate him, my king. My heart has always been yours. "
Southern King smiled and said to Wu Di, who didn't know what was going on, "If you want me to give you a guarantee, I'm afraid I can't do it. "But if you really want to help me ascend to the Divine World, as a reward, I can give you the position of Southern King."
"This subordinate is terrified."
All right, any more denial is hypocrisy, This King does not like hypocritical people. Soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers. Having such ambition is not necessarily a bad thing. Moreover, after this period of observation, I think you are indeed much better than Three-headed Snake. Although south China seas is actually a place for me to stay, it doesn't mean much to me. "But this is a place that I have lived for ten thousand years, so I hope that someone can help me maintain everything here even if I am no longer here."
Wu Di roughly understood what Southern King wanted to say, so he said, "Don't worry, Southern King. I will do my best to find a way to help Southern King ascend with Lady Hu."
Hsing Hu gave Wu Di an amorous look, then held Southern King's arm and said, "Hsing Hu did not fail her mission this time. She helped Southern King find a capable subordinate. How should Southern King reward her?"
Southern King looked at Wu Di and said, "Don't you want him? I will fulfill your wish. As long as you can successfully suppress Three-headed Snake and drive him out of south China seas, I will make the decision to marry you and General Yinbai."
When Wu Di heard that the marriage was about to be concluded, he immediately knelt down and said, "Southern King, please reconsider the matter of the marriage. I have already found a suitable wife in my heart, so..."
"What, you..." Southern King was about to flip out. He had already taken advantage of Wu Di by handing Belle Hu over to Wu Di. In the end, this guy really did not know what was good for him.
Hsing Hu also knelt beside Wu Di at this time. She said to Southern King, "Please don't be angry, Great King. Actually, Belle Hu already knew that General Yinbai had someone else in his heart, so she shouldn't mention the matter of the marriage anymore. As long as the family could be together with General Yinbai, they would be satisfied.
When Wu Di heard these words, he also felt somewhat ashamed of Hsing Hu. Ever since he met this Merman woman, she practically spared no effort to help him, even willing to sacrifice herself to him regardless of her status.
Although now he vaguely felt that Hsing Hu had a motive for getting close to him, this did not affect him feeling her true feelings. Some deception might not be so hard to accept.2
"Belle Hu, you are really... as long as This King is willing, he dares not marry you. Why do you have to make yourself suffer?"
Southern King was a little disappointed, but his words also carried a bit of pampering. It could be seen that Hsing Hu still had a certain status in Southern King's heart.
Hsing Hu stood up and said, "King, actually, you should know very well that Hsing Hu's appearance is completely ruined. Even if it is thanks to General Yinbai that my appearance can temporarily recover, this cannot change the fact that my appearance is ugly. General Yinbai did not despise me because of this, or hate me because of this. I already feel very gratified."
"Belle Hu, forget it. This matter is something you want to pass by yourself. Even if I say anything more, it will be meaningless."
"Does the king agree with us?" Hsing Hu asked.
"You two have no objections. Is what an outsider says so important?"
"King, I knew you were the best man in the world." Hsing Hu rushed to Southern King and hugged him.
Southern King reached out and rubbed Hsing Hu's head. Wu Di finally understood. So these two had never been the kind of relationship he thought they had. The intimate actions of these two people made them feel more like a family.
When Wu Di and Hsing Hu came out of the hall together, Wu Di was still unable to get out of that strange feeling.
"What? What are you so worried about?"
Wu Di said, "I'm just curious about what kind of Demonic Cultivator this Southern King is. I keep feeling that it's hard to guess his thoughts."
"I can only tell you that Southern King is a good person. Alright, the matter about Southern King has come to an end. What's next is our matter. You don't have anything to ask me. For example, I lied to you.
Wu Di shook his head." At first, I really thought that you and Southern King weren't on good terms. However, I already know that he has a special position in your heart. In that case, I don't have any reason to blame you for lying to me. "
"As expected, you are the one who understands me the most. Southern King saved my life. I have told you about this. " After that, he treated me like his child and doted on me. Although I had that kind of feelings for him before, I felt that the two of them were more suitable to be family. "I don't have that kind of feeling of my heart beating wildly at all."
Hsing Hu has always been very frank. Unless she thinks that something very important is hidden, otherwise, there are rarely any lies in her mouth. This was also the reason why Wu Di was willing to believe Hsing Hu.
"You didn't tell Southern King about me being a human cultivator, did you?" The Demonic Cultivator could never accommodate human cultivators. Therefore, this became the thing that Wu Di was most worried about.
Hsing Hu covered her mouth and smiled, "You look smart. Sometimes you will also be confused. In fact, it was Southern King who found out about your identity as a human cultivator earlier than me. It was just that he liked to play a prank, so he didn't expose your identity when he found out about it."
Wu Di broke out in a cold sweat. He thought that he had hidden it well, but in the eyes of some people, secrets were no longer secrets. It was such a sad and sad thing.
