Chapter 1664 The Salted Fish Comes in Very Useful?
to be frank,
Kil'jaeden had thought that signing the tripartite agreement and learning the truth about what Li Yun and Evelynn had experienced in the ruins would at least offer some help in his current predicament.
But as it turns out, it wasn't what he thought at all!
After hearing the truth about Li Yun and Evelyna's experiences, it did not help them with their current predicament.
Instead, it forced the predicament to 'evolve' and turned it into a dead end!
to be honest,
Now, he, Kil'jaeden, is a little mushroom imp tied to Li Yun and Evelynn on the same rope!
After all, the core of the tripartite contract is the slave contract.
Even if there is a mutual restraint effect, but they cannot reach the level of mutual control, they can still hold each other's lives in their hands!
Of course, their own lives were also in the hands of the other party.
Therefore,
Regardless of Kil'jaeden's inner desires, after signing the contract, he was forced to become Li Yun and Evelynn's comrade-in-arms.
If Li Yun and Evelyna wait to meet Prince Sargeras, they risk bringing about their own demise.
Kil'jaeden will be buried with him immediately!
The most urgent thing right now is to think about how to save your life!
“Now I’m a little curious.” Kil’jaeden swallowed hard, trying to force a smile.
But the final expression she made was even uglier than crying:
"When you two meet Prince Sargeras later, what are your plans for reporting?"
"Of course, I'm telling the truth." Lu Li replied without the slightest hesitation.
"One lie requires countless lies to cover it up, and I don't have the time or inclination to deal with those convoluted schemes right now."
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
Upon hearing this, Kil'jaeden, who was already in a terrible mood, couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Sincerity is the ultimate weapon? Hah... It's a skill that will surely get you killed by Prince Sargeras..."
After venting his frustrations, he spoke with a serious expression, offering his advice:
"Based on my understanding of Prince Sargeras, he certainly won't believe you if you tell the truth."
"Not only will he not believe it, but given his suspicious nature, he will also think you are lying to him... no, playing with him, and thus he will fly into a rage and kill you."
Lu Li blinked, his gaze filled with a genuine and unpretentious confusion and sincerity, and asked in return:
"Then what do you think we should do?"
“We definitely can’t tell the truth!” Kil’jaeden stated his conclusion first, his tone resolute.
He paused for a moment before continuing:
"Let's use the same excuse you gave before, and say that the divine ruins are just empty shells with nothing inside!"
Lu Li's eyes widened slightly, a perfectly timed hint of surprise appearing in his bewildered yet sincere expression:
"But that was the excuse I used to fob you off. You didn't believe it then, so why would Prince Sargeras believe it?"
"Do you really think Prince Sargeras is easier to fool than you?"
As she said this, Evelina took out some snacks from her storage container and started munching on them.
One launched a verbal offensive, the other ignored it physically.
The two-pronged humiliation caused Kil'jaeden's face to turn red and white again, and he was instantly enveloped in an awkward atmosphere.
But he just can't get angry!
Because he and those two annoying big demons on the other side are now in cahoots.
Conflicts and arguments will not only fail to help him in his current predicament, but will also further reduce his chances of survival!
If he could do it all over again, Kil'jaeden would never choose to sign a three-way contract with Li Yun and Evelynn!
right now,
He had no choice but to accept it, even if he had to hold his nose!
“Prince Sargeras is certainly smarter than me,” Kil'jaeden said, forcing a polite tone.
"But you two may not know that the holy deity that prince worships is lust."
"Moreover, among his spouses, the most powerful one, Prince Scarlett, is also a succubus!"
"If you two can make a small sacrifice, I think I can persuade Prince Sargeras to personally go to the Endless Forest to see the ruins!"
"If he can be there in person and see everything inside the ruins, then our lies will be much more credible."
Hearing this, even Lu Li, who had already prepared several contingency plans in his mind, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, is this the "beauty trap"?
Evelina, the succubus who's been slacking off all this time, is finally going to be put to good use?
Evelyna, her cheeks puffed out, remained in a leisurely state of slacking off, completely oblivious to Lu Li and Kil'jaeden's conversation.
After the two men turned to look at her and stared at her for a long time, the lazy succubus finally slowed down her snacking and belatedly asked:
"Why are you all looking at me like that...?"
"Are you sure she can do it?" Lu Li ignored Evelina's question and spoke directly to Kil'jaeden.
"Actually, I'm not entirely sure..." Looking at Evelynn's 'brainless' expression, Kil'jaeden wasn't entirely confident either.
"But it's better for Miss Evelina to act cute than for the two of us to give a formal report, isn't it?"
"If that doesn't work, then go back to your original plan and tell the truth again!"
“That makes sense.” Lu Li nodded in agreement.
That's not actually the case.
But it was really fun!
According to Lu Li's original plan, the main purpose of going to the central area was simply to buy time.
That's it.
Based on the information obtained from the ruins quiz game, and the hints later given by Xing Anlin, it can be concluded that...
The endless forest surrounding the Demon Realm will likely soon 'disconnect' from the Demon Realm and disappear.
Once the endless forest disappears, the divine ruins located within it will naturally also cease to exist.
At that time, let alone Prince Sargeras,
Even if the Demon King Hanenor came, he would not be able to explore the divine ruins again.
As long as no one can explore the inside of the ruins, whatever happens inside is entirely up to Lu Li's word.
As for signing a tripartite agreement with Kil'jaeden?
That guy practically delivered himself right to our doorstep!
After all, he was a great demon who could live for 600 years.
Being able to be deeply bound to his fate means that he won't be afraid of capsizing no matter how reckless he is in front of the demon prince Sargeras!
This can further increase Evelyna's chances of survival.
This is like adding another layer of insurance.
Therefore, what Kil'jaeden saw as a desperate situation was, in Lu Li's eyes, just a formality.
What happened in between is unknown.
But the outcome will definitely be safe and sound.
On top of that, adding a little fun is a real reward for Lu Li, who finds amusement in this!
The next second, a mysterious smile appeared on Lu Li's face as he looked at Evelina with a serious expression and said:
"My esteemed Miss Evelina, are you ready to sacrifice your beauty?"
