I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Ling Ping’an finally had appetite.

He gobbled down the delicious crab.

The pine-leaf crab from Fusang was indeed delicious.

The main thing was that it was fresh and sweet, and there was no peculiar tastel.

“This deep-sea, pollution-free food is delicious!” He exclaimed as he was eating.

He had known about it a long time ago.

The peculiar taste on his tongue was actually due to the contamination of the ingredients during their growth and the processing process.

But what could he do?

Could he cut off his tongue?

“I don’t have the fate of a noble young master, but I have the illness of a noble young master…” He sighed softly. “If this goes on, sooner or later, I will need to take medicine!”

Fortunately, he was a gentleman.

A gentleman would restrain himself, so that he could control his desires.

Therefore, he stuffed a roasted crab leg into his mouth and ate it.

Beside his feet, his pet was also holding a crab leg and eating it slowly.

He finished eating the crab leg.

When Ling Ping’an raised his head, he saw a man in a white suit, who looked like a white-collar worker in a TV show, standing beside him.

“What’s the matter?” Ling Ping’an asked.

However, the other party seemed to stutter. “No…no… nothing…”

“Oh!” Ling Ping’an then lowered his head and continued to clean up the food in front of him.

As a gourmet, he never let down any delicacies.

But…

After a while, he raised his head again and looked at his side. “Sir, What’s wrong with you?”

“Is it very hot in here?”

It was just a short while, but the hair on the forehead of the person in front of him was soaking wet with sweat.

After thinking for a while, Ling Ping’an felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, he asked, “Is there anything wrong with you?”

In his opinion, this person might be suffering from some kind of disease and it was acting up now?

Therefore he was asking for help?

…

Sweat kept dripping down Tang An’s forehead.

His hair was soon wet, as if he had experienced a life-and-death battle.

His heart was thumping.

The sound of his heartbeat was extremely loud!

This had never happened before.

With just a few simple words, Tang An felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell.

“Is this a true Almighty?” He thought.

Just a moment ago, that person had only raised his eyes and glanced at him.

It was just a glance.

His cold gaze was like one from a scientist in a laboratory looking at a lab rat that he was raising and was about to send it to the laboratory.

That seemingly ordinary glance contained too much information.

It made him tremble with fear, and it also made his heart beat so fast.

The simple question that followed had sent him into a bottomless abyss, and froze him in between the terror and hell .

“What’s the matter?”

These three simple words seemed to have magic power and were reverberating in his heart.

Soon after, they turned into countless strange whispers and terrifying murmurs.

Beside his ears, there seemed to be countless terrifying existences angrily scolding him.

“Vile creature!”

“Ant!”

“Weed!”

He was trembling in fear.

There was only one feeling in his heart: I would know the might of the Almighty being today!

It was just by getting close, just by looking directly at him, with a single sentence, he lost all his fighting spirit and his mood dropped.

What was even more fatal was…

The whispers and murmurs that lingered in the bottom of his heart…

They were like magic spells, lingering in his soul.

They made Tang An understand that he was already one foot on the edge of death.

Next, if he was not careful…

He would probably die instantly here.

Look…

The Almighty even found an excuse for him.

You’re sick!

Heart disease, high blood pressure, myocardial infarction, pulmonary obstruction…

There was always a disease that could let him die peacefully.

Tang An knew that this Almighty that couldn’t be measured by common sense, would have 10,000 ways to make him die naturally.

Even the top forensic doctor of the Blackguard would not be able to find out the problem.

Moreover…

The Blackguard didn’t dare to care about him at all.

So, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then, Tang An carefully replied, “I’ve always had this problem of sweating since I was young… I’m sorry!”

Even the Almighty said that he was sick.

Tang An was a smart man.

He knew that he couldn’t be free of illness.

He had to be.

Even if he didn’t have it, he had to have it!

It’s because, this was the Almighty.

He was the one who stirred up the storm! He was also the one who stirred up the clouds and rain! He was the one who stirred up the mountains and the rivers!

Ling Ping’an listened and clicked his tongue, but he wasn’t surprised.

That was because he was suffering from face blindness.

Naturally, in such a big world, there would always be some strange diseases that appeared on others.

Then, he asked, “Are you looking for me?”

The other party nodded.

Ling Ping’an was puzzled. “Do we know each other?”

Tang An swallowed his saliva and shook his brains like a rattle drum.

Ling Ping’an frowned. “Then why are you looking for me?”

Tang An lowered his head. His heartbeat quickened and he felt his mouth and tongue dry.

He knew that he was already facing a life-and-death decision.

If he didn’t give a good answer, he would probably have to go back to the King of Hell to discuss today’s matter!

As Tang An could clearly hear a hint of authority without anger from this person’s tone.

This meant that this person was a little angry!

Since the ancient times, the more important a person was, the more serious the consequences of being angry would be!

Therefore, Tang An became more and more nervous.

He tried hard to recall some of the information that he had obtained.

He had obtained all sorts of scattered information through the Blackguard, Fusang Embassy, Xinluo Embassy, and other channels.

This…

Within the Blackguard, there was a special code name ‘God’.

In the intelligence agencies of various countries, it was called ‘X’.

It was incomparably mysterious, powerful, and also terrifying!

Last night was already sufficient to prove his strength and terror.

With a flip of his hand, he could turn the clouds into rain!

He was truly a powerful figure who could rise up a nation with a single word and lose his country with a single word!

Countless countries’ embassies and high-ranking officials had already set up records for him.

As the Blackguard had the most contact with him. they therefore understood him the best.

Unfortunately, every single piece of information regarding him was top secret!

Only the Blackguard’s general, the cabinet’s first minister, and the second minister had the qualifications to read it.

It was said that there were even more important information that required the approval of the Commander-in-Chief of the Blackguard and the approval of the joint conference of the Blackguard before they could be accessed!

Therefore, everything about this person was hidden in the fog.

People only knew one thing about him: Powerful! Very powerful! It’s so powerful that it was indescribable and even incomprehensible!

Other than that…

It was his generosity.

The Yama Sword, Zhang Hui, had battled with that peerless great demon in the chaos of the feathered fox. He was heavily injured and had long been sentenced to death.

Therefore, he had retreated to the second line and became a minister in the palace.

According to the rumors, he could only attack three more times before his body collapsed.

But now…

He was alive and kicking. It was even said that he had opened a door to further advancement.

Perhaps, in two to three months, the federal empire would have another admiral!

Moreover, it was the admiral with unrivalled divine powers!

The iron-faced Judge Situ was only a major-general.

But in the Southern Zhou, he had taken down the head of the wasp forefather Huyan Yue in three moves.

Even the Commander-in-Chief, who had long been unable to advance, had broken through his shackles and advanced another step!

This was what his family’s forefather had said.

The Commander-in-Chief had already stepped into the boundary between man and God.

He was just one step away from breaking free from the shackles of humanity and stepping into the legendary realm of Immortals and gods!

This was the first human to do so since the recovery of spirit aura!

And all these changes were closely related to this person in front of him.

In the past, when people heard these legends, they were all astonished and bewildered.

But last night, the facts were irrefutable!

No one had any doubts about how powerful this person was and how capable he was!

Thus, everyone began to make arrangements.

As for Tang An…

He bravely took the first step!

Being the first person to eat crabs, he was very bold!

It could even be called a gamble!

He gambled on the generosity of the Almighty and also on his tolerance.

After all, the three generals of the Blackguard had received benefits from him.

Last night, he had personally spoken to hundreds of people to enlighten and awaken them.

Naturally, the attribute of generosity was marked on him.

Before he came, Tang An had even fantasized that he would gain the favor of others and even be taken in.

Now that he thought about it, it was truly ridiculous!

How could such a person be easily manipulated or even plotted against by him?

Wanting to curry favour?

But if he could, why would the Blackguard have to work so hard?

Thinking of this, Tang An couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

“I was really blind…”he sighed.

But things had already come to this point, there was no use regretting it.

The current plan was to make up for it.

“Sir…” Tang An looked at the Almighty who was eating the food in front of him. He licked his lips that were chapped from nervousness. His face was flushed red as he carefully replied, “Please forgive me for being presumptuous…”

He lowered his head and looked at the kitten who was eating the crab leg meat at the feet of the Almighty. It didn’t even bother to look at him.

The black kitten’s posture was extremely elegant even when it was eating the crab leg.

It was like an extremely noble queen lying on a high throne.

It was also like an elegant princess eating fruits in the garden of the palace.

He knew that this cat was this person’s pet.

A top-notch spiritual pet!

And it was intelligent.

Therefore, he smiled fawningly. “What breed is this cat of yours?”

This was to “save the nation through twisted ways”.

Then, he would find an opportunity to escape while the Almighty was happy.

As to curry favour?

He no longer dared to do so!

This was not something that he could do.

Ling Ping’an laughed, “This cat of mine?”

“I don’t know!”

It was true that he still didn’t know what breed his cat was.

All he knew was that it wasn’t a farm cat.

He was too lazy to investigate this little guy’s breed.

He had already raised it, so why would he care about all this?

If he had the time, he might as well play a game!

As he said that, he waved his hand, and the little guy on the ground obediently jumped onto his knee.

Meow!

The little guy obediently cried out, acting coquettishly towards its master.

The handkerchief in Tang An’s hand was completely drenched in sweat.

His back was starting to sweat.

Very quickly, the clothes on his back were completely drenched.

In his heart, the whispers continued endlessly, and the murmurs were everywhere.

It was incomparably strange, causing his heart to palpitate endlessly.

He could also hear what this person meant.

“This cat of mine…”

“I don’t know…”

The cold voice kept people at a thousand miles away.

His words were valuable as gold!

What was even worse was…

Tang An realized that even though he tried his best to shrink his pores and control his sweat, he couldn’t control it at all.

Sweat poured out like rain!

“A prophecy comes true!”

“A prophecy comes true!”

He was extremely shocked!

This was a divine ability!

He first asked if there was anything wrong with you?

Ever since he admitted that there was something wrong with him, this illness had been following him like a shadow according to his words.

He had indeed contracted this illness of sweating.

Even if he was a transcendent being, and a major, there was no way for him to sweat in such a bizarre manner.

He really wanted to kneel down and beg this mighty figure to withdraw his divine ability.

But..

He didn’t dare!

He didn’t even know if his ‘illness’ was enough?

Ling Ping’an, on the other hand, looked at the person beside him.

Looking at his hair, which was soaking wet in just a short while.

Even under his clothes, he was sweating.

“How are you feeling?” He asked, “Are you alright? Should I call a doctor?”

With so much sweat, it seemed that this person’s illness wasn’t light.

As a gentleman, Ling Ping’an naturally had the virtue of being willing to help others!

However, when his words fell into Tang An’s ears, it was like thunder.

He quivered and immediately started laughing. He laughed with all his might and revealed a relaxed expression. “It’s alright! It’s alright…”

“This is an old problem of mine… I’m used to it… Please don’t bother!”

Did he dare to say that he wasn’t alright?

Wasn’t that slapping the person in front of him in the face?

In fact, he even went a little overboard…

This was giving him face, but he didn’t want it!

He wouldn’t stand straight even if he was beaten!

In ancient times, it could be said that he was ‘harboring resentment’, and he would be seen as someone who didn’t know what was good for him!

Ling Ping’an looked at the person in front of him. He was sweating non-stop, and he was still trying to put on a brave front.

He shook his head and said, “Sir… you still have to be treated for your illness!”

Even though he didn’t understand what exactly was the cause of this person’s illness.

But…

As a patient with a rare illness, Ling Ping’an knew very well that it was very painful for a person to suffer from a rare illness.

Just like him…

Face blindness!

It was really annoying!

He had to recognize people afresh every day.

If he wasn’t careful, he would even forget his own appearance.

But he didn’t give up on the treatment.

He still persevered and worked hard to remember every important person and familiar person in his life.

Now, his perseverance was bearing fruit.

For example, he could now always remember his youngest aunt, and he could even remember Chiba Michiko recently.

Thus, Ling Ping’an encouraged him, “Don’t be afraid of treatment!”

Tang An wiped his sweat as he carefully asked, “Are you saying that my illness can still be cured?”

This made him overjoyed.

As long as this person said it, Tang An knew that his illness could definitely be cured!

Ling Ping’an shook his head. “How would I know?”

“This is the doctor’s business…”

Tang An’s heart fell to the bottom at first, but then it was ignited with hope.

“Then I’ll go see the doctor…” He said.

“En!” Ling Ping’an nodded. “Then you do your best!”

Tang An swallowed his saliva.

Doing my best?

What he meant was… even though my illness could be cured in the end…

I would definitely have to suffer a lot?

But what could he do?

He could only smile, even with a fawning and flattering smile. He lowered his head, “En! I’ll do my best!”

He had to stand up straight after being beaten.

In front of a mighty figure, he could only accept it.

Or else?

If he were to really take it seriously, it would probably not just be this so-called ‘sweating sickness’.

Only now did Tang An recall some legends that he had obtained from the Fusang Embassy.

According to the legends, this person had the heart of an ancient man of virtue.

According to the legends, his cultivation was as lofty as a sage.

It was said that these legends came from a person who had interacted with him in the Fusang Kingdom.

At first, Tang An didn’t think much of it.

In this world, how could a true Almighty be the man of virtue that those bookworms described?

Did the Almighty need any cultivation?

No!

But now, he came to a sudden realization.

He was indeed a man of virtue!

He was indeed a sage!

His move was completely a sage’s move!

Even if he hit you, he still needed you to recite it properly.

Silently, he was punished. With just a few words, he made him understand the rules and etiquette.

If this was not a man of virtue, who was a man of virtue?

If this wasn’t a sage, who was a sage?

Confucius and Mencius were only as good!

Or rather..

If Confucius and Mencius were born in the era of transcendent being…

This is how they would behave!

A single word would be the the law of the world, and the commoners would be the eternal teacher!

Thus, Tang An obediently bowed again. “Then… I’ll make a move first…”

As he spoke, he carefully turned around.

The whispers and murmurs in his heart quietly disappeared.

The pressure on his entire body disappeared in an instant.

Only the sweat on his forehead and back continued to flow.

Tang An heaved a sign of relief.

He understood that this Almighty had ultimately given him a hand.

Otherwise…

It would just be …

The death penalty could be avoided, but the living punishment could not be escaped.

The perspiration was probably not that easy to treat!

As he was thinking, he raised his head and saw the fellow who was still staring at him foolishly at the door.

Thee person who had tipped him off.

The person who had taken seven million from him.

Killing intent rose faintly in his heart, and he was a little angry at this person.

Thus, Tang An glared at him fiercely, memorizing the other party’s appearance.

…

Qin Ming was wandering around nervously when he suddenly met a gaze.

I wan a terrifying gaze filled with anger.

Just looking at it made his heart turn cold.

“As expected…” Qin Ming lamented. “This money is hot!”

Seven million!

Even in the capital, he could buy a 20 square meter bedroom, right?

It was equivalent to the savings of the middle class for decades!

However, that person gave it to him casually, and only asked him to do two small things.

It was something as small as lifting a finger.

Now that he thought about it carefully, the more Qin Ming thought, the more afraid he became.

Since ancient times, there was an unchanging iron law– the greater the benefits, the greater the risk!

So…

The other party spent seven million, he must have thought to get at least 10 times the benefits!

There was no other way!

Qin Ming could only brace himself and walk forward.

With a sad face, he said to the man who walked past him and was sweating for some reason, “Can I return the money to you…”

“Hehe…” Tang An laughed.

This person was not stupid!

Unfortunately…

He took his money and did things for him.

Now, he was suffering from sweating sickness.

It could be considered that he had paid for the price.

Then…

What about this person?

What price would he have to pay for the seven million windfall?

Spying on almighty beings…

How could he be innocent?!

When he thought of this, Tang An’s anger dissipated by more than half.

He chuckled and didn’t answer as he walked past this person.

When Qin Ming saw this, how could he not understand the severity of the situation?

He shouted, “I’ll return it to you! Friend, I’ll return it to you, alright?!”

He did not want to die…

He had yet to form a family and still wanted to carry on his family line!

Hence, Qin Ming chased after him and pulled on Tang An’s sleeve. He pleaded, “Can I return it to you?!”

But…

All he saw was a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

“I can’t help you either!”

Yes!

Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t !
