Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1660 - Hell God? He will be left with nothing but his pants!

Nine-headed Bug, relying on his own intelligence and his understanding of the Nielong clan, coupled with shifting the blame for the Nielong clan's extinction, seemed to have successfully deceived Chu Hao, and he couldn't help but feel smug in his heart.

However, Nine-headed Bug wasn't particularly stupid. The talents of deceit and betrayal bestowed upon him by the Nielong clan gave him remarkable acting abilities. His face remained calm, displaying just the right amount of sorrow and helplessness.

"Your Excellency Prison God, please lend me some treasures. I swear, if I deceive you, may I be forever cast into the demonic path, pursued by the Three Realms and Six Paths, and never find peace for eternity!"

Tang Sanzang and the others were dumbfounded when they saw Chu Hao hand over the demon core. They had never imagined that Chu Hao would be so considerate and polite, even giving a deposit?

If it were the old Chu Hao, he would have blown Nine-headed Bug's dog head off by now! It wouldn't be like him to act this way!

Sun Wukong was anxious and wanted to remind Chu Hao not to be deceived by Nine-headed Bug,

But Pigsy woke up in advance and stopped Sun Wukong, whispering:

"Elder Brother, our boss has his own plans."

Sun Wukong was still anxious.

"But giving this thing to Nine-headed Bug is like throwing a meat bun to a dog! We won't get it back, and we'll lose out no matter what!"

Pigsy hesitated for a moment. Indeed, with Nine-headed Bug's personality, he would never keep the demon core. He would definitely eat it right away. When that time comes, Chu Hao would lose the demon core no matter what.

If Chu Hao just wanted to trick him into returning the relic, he could directly threaten him with killing intent. With Nine-headed Bug's personality, he would obediently admit defeat in a few minutes.

But what exactly was Chu Hao up to?

Although Pigsy didn't understand, he knew very well that the boss's actions were always elusive and unpredictable.

In any case, trusting the boss was all that mattered.

Pigsy stopped the eager Sun Wukong and the others.

Nine-headed Bug, on the other hand, received the demon core with suspicion, his face full of disbelief.

"Immortal Lord, are you really going to give this to me? This little demon can't bear it..."

Nine-headed Bug wasn't really being respectful and humble; he was afraid.

Although he was confident, he wasn't stupid after all. Chu Hao's reputation in the Three Realms and Six Paths was well-known—terrifying.

Now, he had tricked Chu Hao out of a precious demon core with just a few words, which made Nine-headed Bug suspect that he had been tricked.

However, Chu Hao frowned slightly.

"You're so ungrateful. I, the dignified Prison God, would I deceive you? Do I look like someone who would deceive people?"

Chu Hao looked sincere, his expression gentle, like a young man about to be scammed.

However, Nine-headed Bug's entanglement deepened. It had to be said that Chu Hao's appearance at this moment was like an old buddy who wanted to trick a scammer into going to northern Myanmar to have his kidney harvested.

"Do you want it or not? Young man, make a decision quickly." Chu Hao shook the demon core in his hand.

However, Nine-headed Bug looked at the demon core in Chu Hao's hand, and the greed in his heart was stirring.

Greed was also an indelible stain rooted in the bloodline of the Nielong clan.

Although Nine-headed Bug was extremely vigilant and worried, and even felt that Chu Hao would attack him, the demon core that could increase his strength made Nine-headed Bug covet it.

The demon in Nine-headed Bug's heart kept whispering to him:

"Take it! This so-called Prison God is just a fool who is all talk and no action!"

"But what if he has a trap? The people who have been swindled and cheated by the Prison God can circle the Primordial World three times hand in hand."

"Stop bragging. He's just a mortal. What can he do?"

"Besides, once you eat the demon core, can he make you spit it out?"

"The increase in strength will be your own. When you run to the Demon Clan, the mere Prison God will be nothing to worry about."

In the end, Nine-headed Bug's greed overcame his reason.

Reason? How can you ask me to be reasonable?

That was an incomparably precious demon core!

Although Nine-headed Bug claimed to be a branch of the Nielong, his bloodline was thin and mixed. Cultivating to this point was already his limit. It was foreseeable that without the accumulation of resources, Nine-headed Bug would never be able to take another step forward.

In that case, if he missed this opportunity with the demon core, it could be said that Nine-headed Bug would be trapped here forever.

Nine-headed Bug hesitated for a moment, then happily accepted the demon core from Chu Hao's hand, flattering:

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down! With this demon core, finding the relic will be a piece of cake!

Please wait a few days, Your Excellency Prison God, and I will definitely find the relic for you!"

Nine-headed Bug made a very respectful and humble promise to Chu Hao.

Chu Hao nodded, turned around and left with satisfaction.

"Very good, young man, look carefully. I'll come find you in a few days. Let's go."

Pigsy pointed at Nine-headed Bug fiercely.

"Look carefully, or you won't have a good time!"

So, the group turned around and left.

After confirming that Chu Hao and the others had left, Nine-headed Bug's eyes were filled with ecstasy.

He looked at the demon core in his hand and gritted his teeth:

"The bold are stuffed to death, and the timid starve to death. I don't believe it. What tricks can you, a mere Prison God, come up with!"

Nine-headed Bug wanted to eat the demon core, but hesitated for a moment and used his powerful mental power to conduct a thorough internal and external examination of the demon core.

"No problem? Could it be that I'm overthinking it? Sure enough, this Prison God Chu Hao is just like that."

Nine-headed Bug no longer doubted and suddenly swallowed the demon core into his stomach.

He vigilantly observed the possible changes in his body, ready to react at any time.

However, things were still going incredibly smoothly. Although it was the most ordinary demon core in Chu Hao's hands, it allowed Nine-headed Bug, who had been stuck at the first level, to break through the bottleneck!

"Hahahaha! I, Nine-headed Bug, am indeed a genius, a genius who plays the whole world in the palm of his hand! Prison God? I'll make him lose his pants!"
