Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 801 - 534: Essence of Life (Part 2)

Chen Gu looked elsewhere, and finding nothing, the suspicion of being betrayed and abandoned surfaced in his heart. He instinctively assumed that Milgray had run off with all the benefits."What are you looking for?" Suddenly, a slightly mocking voice sounded from behind Chen Gu. He quickly turned around and found Milgray still appearing as a silver-eyed, silver-haired girl, leaning against the stone wall, her eyes fixed on him with a profound and unreadable gaze.

"You thought I ran away?"

"How could I think that? Heh, heh, you are, after all, a supreme being whose words are as good as gold." Chen Gu forced a laugh, trying to recover.

Beside Milgray lay the corpse of the Insect Queen, and in her hand was a stone—a clearly shrunken Evil God Contract Book!

Milgray handed the stone to Chen Gu: "Take it, deliver it personally to the principal."

Chen Gu could hardly believe it: "You're giving this to me just like that?"

Such a supreme being like Milgray, after taking such risks and seemingly consuming great energy, for what purpose?

Milgray said: "This was agreed upon with the principal. I've already comprehended it, and it's not much use to me anymore."

Chen Gu remained hesitant. Milgray, a bit impatient, urged, "Hurry up! The Insect Queen has been dead for a while. Without her command, the insect swarms are no match for the human fleet. Out in the Star Sea, the human fleet must be advancing triumphantly, on the verge of total victory. I need to leave before they encircle this planet."

"I do not trust your so-called human contract spirit—being a supreme being, staying here might make me your fleet's hunting target."

Chen Gu was silent inwardly. Although Milgray was bluntly accusing humans, he agreed with her assessment. Such matters weren't even up to the principal; if the fleet commander discovered the weakened Milgray, they would probably proceed with a hunt without hesitation. A supreme being represented immense wealth.

Chen Gu reached out, but just as he was about to touch the stone, he quickly retracted his hand.

A flash of anger crossed Milgray's eyes: "What's the matter? You humans are such an annoying race, so indecisive at critical moments."

But instead of being goaded into picking up the stone, Chen Gu became even more cautious, stepping back a few paces: "Honorable Milgray, why don't we have an open conversation about how you plan to leave?"

Milgray, with calm detachment, said: "I will reveal my true form and fly out directly. With my speed, your warships can't catch up with me. As long as I'm not surrounded, there's no danger."

"Sigh—" Chen Gu, looking disappointed, shook his head lightly, saying, "Your lack of trust in me is truly disheartening."

Milgray could no longer even use her mind-reading ability, unable to perceive Chen Gu's inner thoughts. How could she talk about flying out directly in such a state?

Chen Gu had suddenly realized something: there was no need for Milgray to wait for him to wake up, hand over the Evil God Contract Book, and then leave.

Why did she do this? To follow him?

Chen Gu didn't think that such a "small human" as himself would have such a strong relationship with a supreme being!

Milgray glared at Chen Gu, her teeth clenched. Supreme beings were not supposed to have emotions, but she had lost control already.

Watching Chen Gu, who wouldn't be deceived, Milgray retrieved the Evil God Contract Book, clutching it tightly in her hand, and said, "Help me escape, or I'll destroy the Evil God Contract Book and this Insect Queen's corpse right now! Then how will you account for it to the principal!"

Chen Gu inwardly sighed in relief, knowing his judgment was correct. Milgray was too depleted, possibly even badly injured, unable to escape on her own power.

"No need to threaten me. The principal cares for me dearly. I am one of his two most valued students; the other being Aviloya—so you understand my importance to him?"

"Be it the Evil God Contract Book or the Insect Queen's corpse, if they're destroyed, so be it. Without these, we still wouldn't be at a disadvantage against the Insect Race; these items are merely the icing on the cake."

"Besides, I highly doubt you currently have the ability to destroy the Evil God Contract Book."

After saying this, Chen Gu continued to stare at Milgray intently.

The supreme being decisively abandoned deceit and inducement, and with a refined human countenance, returned to her previous aloof and indifferent expression, asking, "Alright then, what are your demands? Let's make a deal."

Only then did Chen Gu slowly nod: "I need to know first, if I take the Evil God Contract Book, what will be the consequences?"

"There remains some power in the Evil God Contract Book. Upon contact, I can use this power to control your mind.

Then I'll hide in your Dimensional Prison Ring, secretly controlling you to help me leave."

Chen Gu: "..."

Women are truly venomous!

Fortunately, this actor is alert.

"I can help you leave, as you planned, by letting you enter the Dimensional Prison Ring."

"Impossible!" Milgray decisively refused: "I don't trust you! You humans are too cunning. In my current state, entering the Dimensional Prison Ring would be equivalent to being imprisoned."
