As Zhu Zhuqing spoke up to this point, she was slightly stunned and glanced at Enjou with some surprise.
Us?
There are many monsters like Enjou?
"What I want you to do is very simple…"
As Enjou spoke, he looked around as if he had thought of something and let out a sigh of relief.
From such a distance, that person shouldn't be able to sense anything, right?
Probably?
Enjou's behavior only deepened the doubts in Zhu Zhuqing's heart. Could it be that he also had someone or something he feared?
After a moment, Enjou seemed to have made up his mind and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Go to the Geo Archon's side and gather information about him, especially how he resurrected the Dust Lord Guizhong!"
The resurrection of the Dust Lord Guizhong was an utterly inconceivable thing for Aether.
As for the arrival of Azhdaha and Xiao, he didn't find it particularly surprising, as these two were still alive and well.
But the Dust Lord Guizhong was different. She had been dead for over 3, 700 years, yet she was now resurrected in the Douluo Continent. This was simply unbelievable!
Directly confronting Zhongli was a very unwise decision.
So, after Aether and Enjou "discussed" it, they ultimately decided to use a more cunning approach.
Zhu Zhuqing had some connection with Zhongli, so the success rate of her extracting information would be higher. Therefore, Aether decided to bribe Zhu Zhuqing and have her complete this task.
As for giving Zhu Zhuqing some assistance, it was a trivial matter for him, too simple.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.
Have her go to Zhongli's side as a "spy"?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Zhu Zhuqing snapped back to reality and, without even thinking, shook her head vigorously, speaking with absolute determination.
Her tone was resolute. Even though she desperately needed power, she would never do such a thing for it.
She needed power only to help Zhongli, even if her power was insignificant to him.
"You… don't you need power? This is a very good deal."
Enjou said with some confusion, his gaze at Zhu Zhuqing slightly bewildered.
What's going on with this girl?
She needs power but doesn't want to complete such a simple deal?
"There are things one should do and things one should not do."
"I will never go to Zhongli's side as a spy!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was filled with resolve. She would rather die than do such a thing.
Enjou suddenly understood. This girl was afraid that they posed a threat to Zhongli!
If they really posed a threat, why would they resort to such methods, bribing Zhu Zhuqing to obtain that secret?
Wouldn't it be simpler to just confront Zhongli directly and get the secret?
"Girl, I think you've misunderstood."
Enjou waved his hand and continued, "We pose no threat to the Geo Archon. We just want to know how he resurrected the Dust Lord. What's so difficult about that?"
Zhu Zhuqing, however, gave up thinking altogether and said, "You can leave. I will never agree."
As if remembering something, Zhu Zhuqing added, "Don't think about capturing me to threaten me. I…"
But before she could finish, Enjou curled his lips.
"Really not going to reconsider?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's resolute attitude, Enjou sighed.
"Sigh, I've messed up again."
It wasn't the first time he had messed up, and one more time wouldn't make a difference.
"Alright, then I'll be going…"
With a flash, Enjou's figure disappeared from Zhu Zhuqing's sight.
He left just like that, without a moment's hesitation, and without causing any trouble for Zhu Zhuqing.
"???"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, blinking her eyes in confusion.
This monster called Enjou, he really didn't plan to use any means?
Just left?
It felt like a dream…
After a while, Zhu Zhuqing finally came back to her senses, feeling a bit of lingering fear. Fortunately, this "monster" hadn't caused her any trouble.
Otherwise, she would have had to choose death to prove her resolve.
If it had come to that, death might have been a luxury.
On Enjou's side.
"Your Highness, I've failed again."
Aether: "…"
He glanced at Enjou, his eye twitching slightly.
This guy…
"It's fine if you failed. That girl is completely devoted to that person."
"The Geo Archon's charm is not to be underestimated."
Aether made an excuse for Enjou.
Using special means to control this girl wasn't impossible.
The sacrifice of a few is better than the destruction of the entire world.
But this isn't Teyvat, so such methods are better left unused.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
As expected, the Prince is so good to his subordinates…
"Enjou, there's something very important I need you to do."
Before Enjou could finish thinking, Aether spoke.
"???"
"I vaguely sense her presence, but it's not clear…"
"Are you talking about your blood relative, the Princess?"
"Yes."
"Go and find her. She should be in this world."
The world is so big, and he, Enjou, is alone. Where is he supposed to find a "girl"?
"Of course, she might not be in this world. She could be in a small world not far from here…"
Enjou: "???"
For some reason, he felt that the Prince was deliberately making things difficult for him.
In this world, yet not in this world…
Possibly in some small world.
Isn't this just making things hard for him?
The world is already big enough, and now this.
The small worlds attached to the Douluo Continent, how is he supposed to know about them?
"Yes, Your Highness."
The higher-ups always have the final say, especially when it's the Prince.
After Enjou left, a look of nostalgia flashed across Aether's face.
"Sister, we will meet again."
"Although I don't know what that person is planning, exiling several Archons to this world, along with the Abyss…"
"But for now, there's no harm."
"This way, we can meet again."
In the past, he had shouldered heavy responsibilities and didn't dare to relax for a moment.
But now, it's different. Whether they can return is a question.
If his sister arrives, it would be a good thing. Without the burden of responsibilities, he can finally meet her.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
Asura used all his eloquence to persuade a certain deity to pass on her divine position to Zhu Zhuqing.
This deity had originally had no intention of leaving the Divine Realm. She planned to stay and face the challenges together with the Divine Realm.
But after the God of Asura's persuasion, she finally decided to pass on her divine position and leave the Divine Realm.
In a sense, passing on her divine position would bring some benefit to the Divine Realm and earn a bit of goodwill from that person.
This would be extremely beneficial for the Divine Realm.
"Asura, I am willing to pass on my divine position to that girl named Zhu Zhuqing. Please guide me and tell me her location."
