Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 236: Unexpected Guest

"Little Yin, what are you doing here again?!” A low shout came from behind.

Duanmu Yin pouted as she reluctantly looked back.

Her older sister Duanmu Nianlan had a stiff expression exactly like their father’s; it was as if the two of them were carved out of the same mold. Duanmu Nianlan was currently staring straight at Duanmu Yin.

"I'm not doing anything. I'm… I'm just strolling around!" Duanmu Yin’s expression looked like she’d been wronged.

Duanmu Nianlan completely ignored her plea of innocence. She was earnestly bowing, and the target of her bow was actually two ordinary White Mist members.

"I'm very sorry. I hope my younger sister didn't cause you guys any trouble," her tone was also very calm, without any embarrassment.

One should know that this was a Void Cutter existence. To think that she would apologize so sincerely like this; she really didn’t fit the high-and-mighty description of a “Void Cutter existence.”

"Eh… It’s really no trouble at all." One of them hurriedly waved his hand.

They didn’t know the true identity of the person in front of them, only that she was one of the organization’s honored guests.

The other person also showed a similar expression. "Yeah, your sister is very cute. We all like her very much."

As soon as his voice fell, although he and his companion didn't feel like they said anything wrong, Duanmu Yin had already facepalmed helplessly.

Duanmu Nianlan's expression changed, and she shouted furiously, "You dare flirt with my younger sister? Die!"

Before the two of them could react, she had already punched that person in the abdomen. How terrifying was the strength of a Void Cutter cultivator? Even without using any laws, the punch was enough to tear apart someone’s insides.

This punch directly pulverized all of that person’s internal organs. His body swayed a little, then fell down.

His companion was completely dumbfounded and said in a daze, "My Lord, he didn't mean it like that… He just…"

Duanmu Nianlan withdrew her hand with a dark expression. Hearing his words, she immediately asked, "Then what did he mean?"

"He just…” The dead person’s companion gave her a careful look and whispered, "simply wanted to compliment your sister."

"Is that right?" Duanmu Nianlan frowned slightly, then turned to look at her younger sister. "Little Yin, is he telling the truth?"

"Yes…" Duanmu Yin answered weakly.

So Duanmu Nianlan was silent for a moment, then bowed at the corpse in front of her. "I misunderstood you and accidentally killed you. Please forgive me, I'm sorry!"

After her incomparably simple words, she said to her younger sister, "Okay, now come back home with me."

……

"Don't sneak out to play again, do you hear me?"

"I know, I'm going back to my room to rest."

"Mm, go to bed early."

Duanmu Yin waved impatiently and walked into her own room, then immediately opened her window and jumped out without another word.

"It’s truly a pain to have two family members with brain problems!" Duanmu Yin complained while walking back in the direction she came from.

"Because of their special bloodline, does everyone in that family have personality defects?"

"What a strange family. I really don't know how the little girl who originally owned this body survived for so long…"

“Whatever."

“I need to find that fellow as soon as possible. Whether or not I’ll be able to restore my strength to Void Cutter Realm depends entirely on him.” Duanmu Yin looked up, her eyes shining with a deep light completely unlike that of a little girl.

……

Gu Nan once again set foot on Heaven and Earth Star, appearing inside a research lab in White Mist that he specially prepared for himself.

There were still a few living people left over from his previous experiments. They were the test subjects he prepared for the half-soul exchange experiments—of course, they were already dead now.

He didn’t expect to be gone for that long either, and nobody dared to enter his lab, so these people literally starved to death after the nutrient fluids were used up.

After Gu Nan returned, he immediately noticed the repeated summons from Lan Si and Red Tail.

He was like someone whose phone battery had died. After he finally turned it back on again, he found a series of short messages and missed calls inside.

At the same time, the shadow clone he left here was also reactivated—because Immortal Demon World was cut off from the outside world, his connection with his shadow clone was also severed.

Countless memories and messages poured in, and Gu Nan immediately learned about the situation here.

"Four Void Cutter cultivators? A little interesting. Right when I was worrying over the lack of shadow servants… Mm, there's also a familiar aura?"

With the strength of Gu Nan’s current soul, not even the influx of such a large amount of information could bring him much pressure, and he soon found a small abnormality.

The shadow clone lurking in the dark found a figure whose aura was very similar to a certain person from his memory.

But… That person should never have appeared here.

At that moment, the door of the lab was pushed open with a bang. A petite figure stood at the door, which coincided with the one in Gu Nan's memory.

It was precisely Duanmu Yin.

"Miss Duanmu." Gu Nan smiled lightly and slowly stood up. "Or should I call you… Your Excellency Zi Yi?"

……

"Little Yin is gone again." Duanmu Nianlan walked out of her younger sister's room. Her face still looked stiff, and her emotions couldn’t be discerned.

Duanmu Sen gently put down the book he was holding. "Find her and bring her back. Remember to be polite if she causes trouble for other people again."

"I understand." Duanmu Nianlan nodded. "Our Duanmu family has always valued diplomacy over violence, and we will never bully others."

Duanmu Sen nodded with satisfaction. Compared with his second daughter, who always made him angry, this eldest daughter of his caused no trouble at all. Plus, she was very sensible, so he could rest assured.

‘Just like today—she accidentally killed someone yet again because of her younger sister, but since she apologized so sincerely, I'm sure the other party won't blame her.’

‘No one has come to our door with complaints yet, so I’m certain that no one blames her.’

……

Gu Nan and Duanmu Yin sat across from each other in the lab.

The latter said with a heavy voice, "I don't have much time. That woman with a brain problem will come and take me away soon, so listen to me first."

"Speak," Gu Nan expressed his attitude in one word.

Duanmu Yin, or Star Ruler Zi Yi, who once fought in the Splendid World personal dungeon alongside Gu Nan, took a deep breath.

"Zuo Zuo killed my true body, and Qiu Wenran is probably already in trouble too," she revealed some earth-shattering news as soon as she opened her mouth. "I managed to leave this split soul of mine behind with much difficulty. I need your help."

Gu Nan frowned tightly but didn't speak. He was considering the truthfulness of the other party’s words.

Duanmu Yin stared fixedly at his eyes and said loudly, "He’s trying to kill everyone who has ever seen you inside the Myriad Heavens Starry Road. You must be hiding a big secret!"

Without waiting for Gu Nan to respond, she quickly said, "My consciousness will soon fall into a deep slumber, and this girl will reawaken."

"On a moonlit night, help me kill those two Duanmu people and pour me their blood."

She finally paused here, then said the last sentence, "If you don't want to end up as Zuo Zuo’s food, then do as I say!"
