Chapter 2536 Bargaining
Yes, what's the big deal if God Helu first places a divine mark on Alian? It can also prevent her from escaping or hurting people.
As for divine intervention, that's a matter for later. The Heavenly God Helu can always find another vessel.
Xiao Ping chimed in, "Of course that's possible. Master Duan, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Duan Heyun shut up.
The fact that Helu God has his eye on Alian is most likely due to Xiao Ping's machinations behind the scenes. Who knows what this woman said to the gods?
But the reason why God Helu was so careful in marking the body was that he did not want Alian's body to fall into the hands of other gods.
The gods who had their eyes on Ah Lian were not the only ones.
He now wants to take advantage of his proximity and seize the opportunity.
If only Xiao Ping were present, Duan Heyun could still try to win her over, but Helu Shen is also here, and he cannot be easily dismissed.
Duan Heyun had no choice but to turn around and look at Alian.
Upon seeing his expression, A-Lian took several steps back and shook her head violently: "No!"
She might not understand everything the people in front of her were arguing about, but she could sense that the situation was turning against her.
“It doesn’t hurt at all. All you have to do is say ‘I do.’” Duan Heyun squatted down and looked into her eyes. “It’s much more comfortable than when your father usually pricks you with needles to draw blood.”
A-Lian pointed at Helu God: "What is he going to do to me?"
Duan Heyun gently pressed down her arm: "You can't point at the gods, it's impolite... The gods only borrow your body occasionally, and they'll return it to you when they're done with it."
The Blood Demon hidden on He Lingchuan's body cackled, "I'll borrow it occasionally, but each time I'll borrow it for a long time, probably as long as a lifetime?"
Ah Lian said sadly, "Father doesn't love me either; he wants to give me away to someone else."
"You were created solely for the purpose of being a vessel for a god descending to earth." Xiao Ping spoke in a calm tone, but each word was like a knife. "No matter how much your father loves you, he will never forget this."
"Shut up." Duan Heyun glared at her, then turned to A-Lian and said, "Once A-Lian agrees, she can leave here and roam around freely, no longer confined to the garden. Isn't that what you want most—to go out and play?"
"Can we leave here?" Ah Lian's eyes flickered slightly. "Just go back to the place I left last time."
The place she went last time, the outskirts of Baisong City?
Duan Heyun nodded: "Okay."
By then, she will already have the mark of the god Helu in her mind, and Lingyun Island will not worry about her running away or getting lost.
A-Lian's eyes darted around: "Then I want something else."
"You said."
A-Lian immediately pointed at Xiao Ping and said, "She's mean to me, she hates me, I want to eat her up!"
Xiao Ping, who had been standing on the sidelines watching the commotion with her arms crossed, was taken aback and raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"See? Her true nature has been revealed." Xiao Ping sneered. "She can hold a grudge against me, and she can hold a grudge against you too. Don't forget, you were the one who experimented on her the most cruelly. You think she's like a dog, that you can beat her into submission and she'll offer her loyalty to you? Ha, I told you from the very beginning that this thing hates us to the bone. You treat her like a daughter, but she treats you like an enemy. Given the chance, she will tear us to pieces without mercy."
Duan Heyuan's gaze turned serious as he looked at A-Lian: "A-Lian, this is not negotiable, just like the fact that you live in the garden, that is not negotiable either."
Ah Lian had cried to him before, taking advantage of his favor, saying she didn't want to live here anymore. He didn't agree.
Ah Lian pursed her lips: "But I heard that those who serve as the skin of gods die a terrible death, either their skin explodes or their bodies become moldy."
As she said this, her eyes were fixed on Helutian.
Isn't the physical body that Helu Tian is currently using just "mold"?
Duan Heyun frowned: "Who told you that?"
Who would gossip about Ah Lian?
A-Lian immediately pointed at Xiao Ping again: "Her! She keeps saying I'll die a horrible death."
Xiao Ping's fists, hidden in her sleeves, hardened: "You little wench, when did you learn to spout nonsense?"
She disliked A-Lian, but she had never said such a thing to A-Lian's face. How could she be so gossipy at such a young age? What would she be like in the future?
However, judging from Duan Heyun's expression, he clearly believed it again.
Oh man.
She gave a cold laugh, thankfully this little thing didn't have much of a "future" left.
Aside from the Heavenly God, Xiao Ping is the number one figure in Lingyun Palace. In terms of status, she is half a level higher than Duan Heyun. How could Duan Heyun have the power of life and death to deal with her at will?
Ah Lian said those words deliberately to disgust her.
Duan Heyun looked at the mechanism on the wall:
"Did you just release tranquilizers?"
"Half a tube was put in, which is already a considerable dose. But she was just pretending to be confused; she was perfectly lucid." There are many ways to get a sentient demon puppet to say "I do," the simplest being a combination of enticement and deception.
"I understand." Duan Heyun then turned to Helu Tianshen and said, "Leave this matter to me, but it will take some time, so please rest assured, Heavenly Venerable. Also, there are two other bodies in the palace that would be very suitable for you. Would you like to change them now?"
A-Lian herself does have research value. Besides, Duan Heyun, as the person in charge of the Divine Body Project, has given his guarantee, so Helu Tianshen will not force him: "Alright, you will handle this matter."
Duan Heyun breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll have the palace prepare immediately, and the ritual to invite the gods can be held in half an hour!"
Helu Tian nodded and strode away.
Xiao Ping remained standing there, while Duan Heyun didn't even glance at her, his tone cold: "Is there anything else?"
He was telling them to leave.
Xiao Ping didn't care, only staring at A-Lian who was sitting on the ground, and said: "No matter how good you are to her, she is just a demon puppet! No matter how well she pretends, she is not your real daughter A-Lian. Master Duan, whose heart is as hard as stone, when will you wake up?"
Duan Heyun sneered: "So you finally understand that the only reason I treated her differently was because she resembled my former daughter?"
"That's a question for you to answer," Xiao Ping chuckled, then turned and left.
Duan Heyun frowned and asked the little girl in the garden:
"She used to be nice to you, but you disliked her a long time ago, why?"
"She's not genuinely kind to me, A-Lian knows that." A-Lian pouted, "Unlike Father!"
Duan Heyun's expression shifted: "You can sense whether others treat you well or badly?"
“Yes, he can.” Ah Lian pointed to the guard who had given her the red bean paste rice cake earlier. “He likes me.”
Then she pointed to another guard: "He despises me."
The guard turned pale with fright: "I...I didn't."
Duan Heyun ignored him and casually pointed to He Lingchuan beside him:
"So, what about this?"
He Lingchuan, who plays Hu Xin, appropriately reveals surprise and unease on his face.
“He’s not afraid of me at all, nor does he dislike me, but he’s curious about me.” Ah Lian even added, “He’s completely different from before, like a different person.”
