Chapter 2861

"Finding a wife isn't something I'll rush into," Qian Huansheng said calmly. "Besides, I'm not even sure where my emotional tribulation lies."

Qian Huansheng never denied being cold-hearted.

Once, he thought he was affectionate. He had waited tens of thousands of years for a spiritual pivot. But in the end, he realized that initial flutter was long gone. Only habit and responsibility remained. So, his relationship with the spiritual pivot ended without a clear conclusion.

Now, he had taken a knife wound to repay the debt of affection from the spiritual pivot’s past life. Therefore, when Zhan Diting talked about matters of the heart, Qian Huansheng absolutely did not believe he would ever feel such emotions.

Of course, Qian Huansheng had never cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness. He was a demon, specifically from the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan, famous among all demons for their cunning and charm.

She was now a god. Her former demon body no longer existed. But as the former clan leader of the Heavenly Foxes, she possessed much affection, not exclusive devotion.

Naturally, this "much affection" did not mean promiscuity. Especially in romantic matters, he remained chaste.

His affection manifested as a gentle demeanor toward everyone—whether old or young, male or female. He seemed equally tender to all.

Those who didn’t understand thought he was incredibly polite. Only those who truly saw through him realized that his apparent gentleness toward everyone meant he held no deep feelings for anyone.

Qian Huansheng understood this well. But asking him to drop this habit and get to know a girl anew? Honestly, he had no such intention.

"I say, Qian Huansheng, you’re a True God, aren’t you? You should know that the Supreme Emperors in our Supreme Universe exist in pairs. I think a big reason you can’t break through to become a Demon Emperor is because you’re single." Zhan Diting wasn’t afraid of angering Qian Huansheng with these words.

Zhan Diting and Qian Huansheng were similar types. One was an elephant, the other a fox. So, Zhan Diting naturally appreciated Qian Huansheng as a kindred spirit.

"Besides, unlike me, you have no affinity with Buddhism. Even in the Yanluo Realm, I have ties to Buddhism, so it’s fine if I don’t find a wife. But for you, not finding a wife is a bigger problem," Zhan Diting said seriously.

"Zhan Diting, you’re a part-time Yin God in the Yanluo Realm. Why do you want to be a matchmaker?" Qian Huansheng raised an eyebrow. "For me to feel emotion is impossible. Unless a woman is more beautiful than me, stunning me with her beauty. If she can’t shock or shake my soul, I won’t feel anything."

"Fine. Talking to you is useless. You’re still so stubborn. I’m done talking." Zhan Diting said directly. "I’m leaving. Oh, remember to apply the medicine yourself." With that, he vanished.

"Runs away when he can’t win," Qian Huansheng muttered. But he still picked up the blue bottle, opened it, and applied the medicine to himself.

Although the scar on his surface had disappeared, the inside wasn’t fully healed.

After applying the medicine, he found that the wound, which still hurt slightly, no longer pained him.

"Truly worthy of medicine made by the Medical Emperor," Qian Huansheng sighed.

She felt she wouldn’t need three months to recover. Even if she didn’t, with her current cultivation, dealing with those demon and soul monsters would be very simple.

Thinking about it, he remembered Cheng Jin. He decided not to tell Old Ma and the others the specifics of his injury. If Cheng Jin could graduate successfully, he could relax a bit.

It had to be said that his experiences in the Immortal and Divine Realms made Qian Huansheng particularly fond of laziness.

As for Cheng Jin, she didn’t know Qian Huansheng was plotting against her. Perhaps subconsciously, she thought that as an ordinary person, there was nothing for Qian Huansheng to scheme about.

Because of this indifferent personality, Cheng Jin didn’t ask much about Qian Huansheng’s injury. Since she said it would take three months to recover, she would just act as her assistant for those three months.

Moreover, Cheng Jin didn’t think she could last long. Although she wasn’t afraid of soul monsters, she was a late starter. Although she had begun cultivating Heavenly Master techniques, her cultivation couldn’t rise overnight. So, she would just take it slow.

Three days later, in the afternoon, Qian Huansheng called Cheng Jin to go out with him.

From Shen East Road to the Fifth Ring Building, driving required a detour. However, there was a pedestrian street that went straight through. Walking took about fifteen minutes, while driving the detour took eighteen minutes.

So, Qian Huansheng led Cheng Jin there on foot.

"Boss, should we buy talisman paper or something?" Cheng Jin asked after thinking for a moment as they stepped out.

"The ones sold in those shops are fake and useless. Unless you draw them yourself," Qian Huansheng said calmly.

"I’ve read that book, but I can’t draw talismans yet. Drawing talismans requires Qi, and I haven’t cultivated my Qi yet," Cheng Jin said quickly.

"So there’s no need to buy any. Let’s go. I brought what we need," Qian Huansheng said, still very calm.

"Oh." Cheng Jin nodded. Since the boss said no need to buy, and she had brought things, she didn’t ask further, even though she hadn’t seen what she was holding.

This was Cheng Jin’s strength.

Perhaps due to her childhood experiences, she was cautious in everything. She didn’t have excessive curiosity, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Cheng Jin’s personality, Qian Huansheng looked at her with slight surprise. "Your curiosity seems very low."

"It is low. Because I think curiosity kills the cat. So, if someone speaks, I listen. If no one speaks, I don’t get curious," Cheng Jin said as they walked, her mind very calm.

This calmness actually made Qian Huansheng curious. "Don’t you hate your mother?"

Cheng Jin wasn’t surprised that Qian Huansheng knew her family situation. she was extraordinary. It would be strange if she didn’t know such things.

"There’s nothing to hate," Cheng Jin looked ahead. "If I hated her, it would mean I still cared about her. Now that I can treat her calmly, it means I basically don’t care about her anymore. With or without her, I still have to live my life. Of course, perhaps for her, not having me appear would make her happier. After all, I’m just a burden."

Hearing this, a faint displeasure rose in Qian Huansheng’s heart. "Do you want me to help tease her?"

"If I don’t care, why tease?" Cheng Jin smiled. "If I have time to tease her and care about her, I’d rather spend more time working overtime. Overtime pays wages. Teasing and caring about her brings me no income."

Qian Huansheng was slightly stunned, then laughed. "True. Why care about people who bring no benefit?"

Cheng Jin hummed. "I understood this when I was in middle school. So, although life was a bit hard then, I was happy. Because I didn’t care about her. The most I’d have to do is pay her alimony when she gets old."

"You humans are so troublesome," Qian Huansheng sneered. "If this were in our place, such people would be stripped of their right to be human."

Cheng Jin chuckled. "So we are just mortals, and you are an unusual person."

"Unusual person? I am a God." Qian Huansheng lifted his chin slightly, proudly.

Cheng Jin raised an eyebrow but agreed naturally. "Yes, you are a God. Gods and humans are different. Their perspectives are different, so their ways of handling things are naturally different."

Qian Huansheng tilted his head to look at Cheng Jin. "Actually, you don’t need to consider yourself a mortal. After you accepted the Heavenly Master inheritance, you are no longer a mortal."

Cheng Jin was slightly stunned. "Heavenly Master inheritance? What is that? I didn’t accept any inheritance."

"How not? Did I throw that jade slip at you for nothing?" Qian Huansheng said directly.

Cheng Jin looked at Qian Huansheng, dumbfounded. "Boss, don’t tell me the things that entered my mind were the Heavenly Master inheritance."

"Yes." Qian Huansheng nodded seriously. "That is the Heavenly Master inheritance." Then he looked innocent. "You really didn’t know?"

"I really didn’t know." Cheng Jin was almost laughing and crying.

Inheritance sounded like something high-end and prestigious. How did it not seem high-end on her boss? It seemed like she was throwing away trash.

Seeing Cheng Jin’s expression, Qian Huansheng seemed to understand her thoughts. she coughed and said, "I don’t cultivate the Heavenly Master path. So, for me, that is actually just trash."

Indeed, if a fox doesn’t cultivate with a clear heart, it becomes a demon that acts recklessly. The Heavenly Master inheritance also contained methods to suppress demons.

Therefore, Qian Huansheng didn’t like the Heavenly Master techniques much; he even disliked them a bit.

That was why, upon discovering Cheng Jin had a Yin-Yang constitution, she simply threw the jade slip at her forehead.

Usually, people accept inheritance by knocking the jade slip against their own forehead. Encountering someone like Qian Huansheng who threw it was a first.

Fortunately, no one from the Heavenly Master sect was there to see Qian Huansheng throw the jade slip. Otherwise, they might have fought him to the death.

"You don’t cultivate this path, but you can still exorcise demons and spirits?" Cheng Jin asked, slightly surprised.

"Who told you that only Heavenly Masters can exorcise demons and spirits?" Qian Huansheng smiled. "Besides, today I’m just using my mouth. The one who will actually fight is you. In other words, you are the main character in this scene."

"Don’t scare me. We agreed I’m the assistant," Cheng Jin said, truly frightened by Qian Huansheng’s words.

Qian Huansheng raised an eyebrow. "Yes. So I’m going with you. But how can an intern gain experience without going on stage?"
