Su Xi, witnessing everything unfold before her, had already made her plans.
The most crucial thing at this moment was to resolve the immediate problem.
Only by solving this would they be able to leave.
Amidst her confusion, a brilliant idea began to form in her mind.
Looking at Ouyang Chu Ge, whose demeanor was different from before, Su Xi smiled, "I never expected you to end up here, and in such a pleasant environment. If I didn't know we came together, I'd think you were on vacation."
Ouyang Chu Ge glanced at Su Xi, ignoring her taunt, and instead smiled, "There's no 'worth it' or 'not worth it.' I just didn't expect you to have the ability to reach this place now and find me."
Although Ouyang Chu Ge's words were directed at Su Xi, his gaze never left Tian Gang Zhen Ren.
It was clear that Tian Gang Zhen Ren was the most important person to him now.
After all, Tian Gang Zhen Ren was the most significant figure in their eyes, the most crucial person for him.
Without such a person, Su Xi wouldn't have been able to come here or find him.
He had originally intended to evolve quietly on his own, but it seemed the situation wasn't that simple.
Tian Gang Zhen Ren paid no attention to Ouyang Chu Ge, his eyes not falling on him at all.
Seeing Ouyang Chu Ge, Su Xi smiled, "At this point, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Although the experiences she had been through were unrelated to this group, she didn't want to suffer or waste her time in vain.
Ouyang Chu Ge smiled and beckoned, "Come with me now, and we'll have a good talk. Then you'll know the truth."
Upon hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words, Su Xi didn't insist further and nodded.
Although this place was unusual, with Tian Gang Zhen Ren present, they had nothing to fear.
After all, with Tian Gang Zhen Ren there, they were safe, and listening wouldn't hurt.
Moreover, she had long wanted to know Ouyang Chu Ge's secrets.
Along with Tian Gang Zhen Ren, they followed Ouyang Chu Ge into a small room. Along the way, people kept glancing at them but made no move to question them, continuing with their own affairs.
Their gazes held mostly curiosity, with no other emotions.
As these questions arose, Su Xi and the others soon arrived in a small room.
In this room, a person who looked somewhat similar to Lin Qing saw Ouyang Chu Ge enter with guests and asked in confusion, "Did you bring friends back?"
Ouyang Chu Ge nodded and said, "We have some things to do. You can rest for a while."
The person nodded without hesitation and said, "In that case, you two talk first. I'll go prepare some food."
After the person left, Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chu Ge and asked pointedly, "Who is this person? Is he your little lover?"
Ouyang Chu Ge's expression changed slightly upon hearing Su Xi's words, but he remained calm.
Now that he had brought Su Xi and the others over, he wasn't afraid of them discovering any secrets. Besides, he no longer wanted to hide this secret.
Understanding this, Ouyang Chu Ge said, "These are all my clansmen. We are hiding here to escape the pursuit of the Demon Race."
Su Xi blinked in confusion upon hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words, "You were being chased by the Demon Race?"
Su Xi knew that Ouyang Chu Ge was part of the Demon Race, and seemingly held a high position. Why was he being chased?
As if sensing Su Xi's confusion, Ouyang Chu Ge uttered a shocking statement, "Because I was once the Demon King, those people naturally didn't want me alive."
Su Xi, ...
She had always thought Ouyang Chu Ge was of noble status, but she never imagined he was the Demon King, and a former one at that.
Swallowing hard, Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chu Ge and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Are you joking with me?"
This matter was too significant; she found it hard to believe.
This person whom she could easily control was actually the king of the Demon Race?
When did Demon Kings become so cheap?
Seeing Su Xi's disbelief, Ouyang Chu Ge said, "I was ambushed and had all my demon souls devoured. It's already good that I've recovered to this state."
Ouyang Chu Ge sighed as he said this.
If only he hadn't trusted someone so easily back then, he wouldn't be in this predicament. He had almost been completely annihilated.
It was fortunate that he now had Su Xi's help, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do anything. However, even with all his might, he couldn't exact revenge quickly.
After hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's explanation, Su Xi nodded and looked at him, bringing the topic back, "But you've said so much, and I still don't know why you're here?"
They had encountered such a big problem in the Underworld. What had Ouyang Chu Ge done to not only be unaffected but also to survive?
Seeing the scene before her, Su Xi felt her entire being become sharper.
No one could lie in front of her. Now, she had to keep a close eye on Ouyang Chu Ge.
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at Su Xi with a strange expression, then glanced at Tian Gang Zhen Ren nearby and asked in confusion, "You really don't know what's going on?"
Given how obvious everything was, how could there be anything he couldn't see?
Was Su Xi not joking with him?
Although he was complaining inwardly about Su Xi, he said nothing outwardly, merely showing his speechless expression.
Perhaps Su Xi wasn't lying and genuinely didn't know.
With that thought, Ouyang Chu Ge said, "I'm here because I wasn't with you from the beginning."
"???"
Su Xi's head was filled with question marks upon hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words.
He hadn't gotten into trouble like this?
Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chu Ge with some confusion.
He had been with her before; why was he now saying he hadn't been with her?
What a joke!
Ouyang Chu Ge pointed to his clansmen behind him and said, "I'm here to tell you that since I never intended to gain anything from the start, I secretly left after realizing this place was the Underworld."
Upon hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words, Su Xi began to understand.
She then turned her gaze to Lin Qing and asked, "Weren't you together at that time?"
It seemed Lin Qing and Ouyang Chu Ge were together before, so why was he now saying they weren't?
Lin Qing, seeing Su Xi look over, had a look of confusion on his face, "We were separated then. We weren't together."
Having received Lin Qing's reply, Su Xi did not let it go, her expression changing. Clearly, Lin Qing was not telling the truth.
However, even knowing that Lin Qing wasn't being truthful, Su Xi also knew that now was not the time to question him.
Everyone had their secrets, so not everything could be clarified.
Since Lin Qing wasn't saying anything, it meant he didn't want to. And if Lin Qing didn't have that intention, then asking would be futile.
Su Xi did not pursue the matter further and instead turned all her questions to Ouyang Chu Ge, "What do you plan to do now?"
Huh?
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at Su Xi, scrutinizing her several times with a look of confusion.
He wondered why Su Xi would ask such a question.
He had expected Su Xi to ask many questions, but he hadn't anticipated her asking something like this.
Such a strange question was clearly not normal.
This question seemed completely irrelevant and not at all typical.
Although he didn't know the meaning behind Su Xi's words, Ouyang Chu Ge knew it wasn't something he couldn't answer, so he said heartily, "I have no other thoughts now. I just want to resolve all the issues."
Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chu Ge and, without hiding her inner doubts, asked, "How do you intend to solve the problem?"
She didn't understand what Ouyang Chu Ge was talking about; there was nothing apparent before them, yet this person wasn't being honest.
Couldn't some things be said directly instead of being so complicated?
Going around in circles made her head spin.
Seeing the expression on Su Xi's face, Ouyang Chu Ge's eyes instantly turned cold, "What I want to do most now, of course, is to reclaim everything I've lost."
There was one more thing he didn't say: he would also seek revenge for all his grievances.
Upon hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words, Su Xi's face immediately showed a peculiar expression.
With Ouyang Chu Ge looking like this now, what ability did he have to do anything else?
With such strength, he didn't seem capable of doing anything else. Not to mention Tian Gang Zhen Ren, even someone slightly more skilled could show Ouyang Chu Ge how the flowers got their red color.
Su Xi looked at the scene and shook her head helplessly.
In this situation, it seemed there was no way.
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at the scene and smiled.
He knew Su Xi didn't believe him, but he didn't care at all.
For him now, the most important thing was to act, not to talk.
He couldn't do these things before, but that didn't mean he wouldn't have the opportunity now.
With so many clansmen, was this not his chance to act?
