Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Blaming Him for Starting Chaos and Abandoning It

"I won’t feel unbalanced because my confidence comes from within myself."

Chen Shu said, his tone tinged with disdain, "And you? What do you have to be confident about?"

"Even if you’re the child of a god and a demon, and born noble, aren’t you still an orphan?"

"Your father is the crown prince of the God Clan, and your mother the princess of the Demon Clan. Your father killed your mother before you were born. If it weren’t for your special constitution, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to come into this world."

"For you, this must be an incurable wound, right? Even if you can command others because of your superior status at birth."

"But what you hide in your heart is actually inferiority."

"It’s because of this inferiority that you think I would be like you, notice these things, and be as inferior as you."

The child of a god and a demon listened to Chen Shu and his expression instantly turned cold.

Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei didn’t know what Chen Shu and the child of a god and demon were talking about.

What they saw was Chen Shu’s expression suddenly change.

Quan Jinbei put on a hurt expression and said, "I thought our relationship was good, but now it seems you don’t think so..."

"In that case, let’s break off the friendship."

His expression showed no hesitation as he said this.

As if by speaking it, he had already made up his mind.

Seeing this, the child of a god and a demon inwardly mocked Chen Shu, "Aren’t you the one who’s inferior? You saw Quan Jinbei’s attitude, he clearly doesn’t have you in his heart."

"If he really considered you a brother, he wouldn’t have so casually mentioned breaking up the friendship."

Chen Shu rolled his eyes, "Get it straight, the one my brother Bei wants to break up with is you, not me."

"If I were the one controlling this body right now, there’s no way brother Bei would say he wants to break up with me."

The child of a god and a demon snorted coldly, "You’re pretty good at self-deception."

"I’m the one in control right now, but don’t forget, this body is yours."

"Whether I’m in control or you are, what’s the difference?"

Chen Shu wouldn’t be easily swayed, "Don’t bother saying these things to me. Even if you say them, I won’t be swayed."

After speaking, he heard the child of a god and a demon say, "Whether it’s a provocation or not, we’ll only know the result later."

Chen Shu’s expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Isn’t my meaning clear enough?"

The child of a god and a demon laughed coldly, "With me here, no matter what, your relationship with him can never go back to the way it was."

Chen Shu: "I don’t believe it."

He still had that confidence in himself.

The child of a god and a demon didn’t bother arguing further and immediately said, "Whether it’s true or not, you’ll find out soon enough."

"I hope by then, you’re still as confident as you are now."

When he said this, his tone was obviously mocking, "I just hope that a confident person like you doesn’t end up begging me, the one who supposedly lacks confidence, to comfort you, hahaha..."

Chen Shu closed his eyes, unwilling to engage further with him.

The child of a god and a demon at this point also had a new plan forming.

He previously thought that winning over Shi Yaoguang would be the best outcome.

Even though Shi Yaoguang killed the Left Protector, it wasn’t a real loss for him.

If the Left Protector could be killed so easily, it showed he wasn’t strong enough to begin with.

If he was powerful enough, he wouldn’t have been killed outright.

Anyway, he was a useless person; if he was killed, then so be it.

If he could take this opportunity to win over Shi Yaoguang, it meant losing a useless person and gaining a strong ally.

A hundred benefits without a single drawback.

But the current situation is different now.

Shi Yaoguang is no ordinary person.

She might very well be a celestial being reborn.

Or rather, a reincarnated Revered God from the heavens.

In such a case, he dared not try to recruit her lightly.

After all, he wanted subordinates, not a superior.

Even though he is the child of a god and a demon, having the powers of both the God Clan and the Demon Clan.

But the Revered God from above... the divine power is unfathomable.

In this situation.

Even if he successfully recruited Shi Yaoguang, she may not be willing to follow his orders.

Bringing back an ancestor for himself to deal with.

Hiss.

The thought alone made the child of a god and a demon shiver.

It’s better to give up on unrealistic ideas now than to regret them later.

Thinking this, the child of a god and a demon abandoned his previous plan.

Unable to recruit, it was better to eliminate the potential threat directly.

With this in mind, the child of a god and a demon seamlessly switched his plan.

Shi Yaoguang was unaware that what she said earlier provoked caution in the child of a god and a demon.

He even changed his target because of this.

But even if she knew, she wouldn’t fear anything.

After all...

She never intended to have a harmonious relationship with the child of a god and a demon.

The other party is likely antisocial, under such circumstances, Shi Yaoguang won’t let him go easily.

"Something terrible has happened."

While thinking, Cheng Lingdang suddenly rushed in, "Master, something terrible has happened!"

Shi Yaoguang looked at her with confusion, "What happened?"

Cheng Lingdang caught her breath and quickly explained the situation she knew about.

"It’s like this..."

Cheng Lingdang hurriedly explained, "Downstairs, for some reason, a lot of people have gathered. They’ve been incited by someone."

"Incited?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyes flashed upon hearing this word, "Do you know who incited them?"

Cheng Lingdang shook her head, "I don’t know who did it either, but they’re demanding an explanation from Shi Shimu."

Quan Jinbei didn’t expect that the matter would be related to him, so he quickly asked, "What explanation do they want from me?"

Cheng Lingdang’s expression briefly turned strange, but she quickly calmed down and said to him, "They’re here to demand that Shi Shimu take responsibility."

"???"

The confusion was clearly written on Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s faces.

Cheng Lingdang also didn’t understand what these people were thinking, and said, "I’m not clear on exactly what’s happening, but I can confirm that they’re here to hold Shi Shimu accountable for his act of abandoning them after starting something."

Abandoning after starting something?

Quan Jinbei felt like he might not understand this term anymore.

Cheng Lingdang also found this term somewhat inappropriate when applied to Quan Jinbei.

But this is the reality.

Even if she found it inappropriate, she could only speak the truth.

"Just now, this news somehow appeared online, and many people have come forward, claiming that Shi Shimu seduced them with beauty and then abandoned them..."

Since it was spoken verbally, Quan Jinbei didn’t catch that Cheng Lingdang meant a singular ’them’, so while he found it absurd, it wasn’t too outrageous yet.

However, when he saw the group of young men downstairs that Cheng Lingdang was referring to, his expression finally cracked.

Looking at the crowd of youthful men with perky rears gathered downstairs, Quan Jinbei’s face alternated between blue and black.

Cheng Lingdang swallowed, timidly saying, "They... they’re the ones demanding that Shi Shimu take responsibility..."
