I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xu Wenkui heard Xue Jing's words, her eyes flashed, and she said:

"What do you want me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing smiled and said:

"It's very simple... all you need to do is provide me with a little bit of information. For instance, where you're going to create a new batch of Divines next. Once this batch of Divines is completed and roughly matured, provide me with the location..."

Xue Jing revealed his true purpose.

A Divine being: killing one guaranteed a minimum harvest of five hundred points of Divinity.

He hadn't forgotten the sight of those dozens of 'Xu Mudes' immersed in the cultivation chambers when he infiltrated Xu's Biology...

If he had known that these creatures were each equivalent to a Divine Relic, Xue Jing really didn't know if he would have been able to restrain himself from going on a killing spree on the spot.

However, it wasn't too late now.

Divine beings, these biological weapons, were quite fierce. Not to mention the fact that the New Beiyang Council already had a large amount of reference material, the special individual who possessed the ability to affect spacetime shaping that Xue Jing had just encountered was telling.

The Xu Family definitely wouldn't give up on continuing to create Divines.

Xue Jing's proposal for this 'trade' was naturally aimed at harvesting this crop of plump leeks... as long as he knew the Xu Family's next location for their Divine experiments, he would rush over there and harvest fiercely.

To know the location, of course, he needed an insider.

There was no better choice than Xu Wenkui.

Even, if played correctly, he estimated this leek could be harvested more than once.

"This..." Xu Wenkui was somewhat tempted but hesitated.

"Miss Xu, I can help you with many things."

Xue Jing began speaking gently, his voice soft, yet eerily seductive like a devil's whisper.

"Without any false modesty, I am a peerless genius, destined to dominate this era."

"My status in the future will be unimaginably high for you. Even now, it's already dazzling enough."

"Becoming my friend, or even an unspoken 'accomplice', you will definitely not be at a loss."

Xue Jing spoke with an unchanged expression, his words sounding supremely arrogant, as if coming from a delusional teenager.

But Xu Wenkui, who had personally experienced his terror, did not mock him at all. Instead, she nodded in agreement.

"I also need some friends from the Thirteen Great Families to plan for the future. I will do my best to help you raise your status within the Xu Family, so you can likewise assist me in the future."

As Xue Jing spoke, Xu Wenkui's expression became increasingly wavering.

"All you need to do now is nod. In the future, on a certain day, you might make a small mistake, like... sending a text to a mysterious location to an unfamiliar number by mistake."

"You would know nothing about it, just overused your eyes too much and ended up sleepwalking, completely unaware of such a small mistake you made."

"It's incredibly easy for you to get rid of the troublesome Xu Mude and gain a very helpful friend."

Xue Jing smiled with refined ease.

"There really is no need to think about it, is there?"

Facing the softly spoken words of the devil-like figure, Xu Wenkui's usually calm and composed face showed signs of intense confusion.

Her heart pounded fiercely, and it took a while for her to take a few deep breaths and calm down.

Xu Wenkui had made up her mind but didn't immediately reveal it. Instead, she posed a question to Xue Jing:

"I clearly came here to kill you, and we are sworn enemies. Aren't you at all apprehensive about becoming 'friends' with me?"

Xue Jing laughed and said, "Bai Qi, who trapped and killed four hundred thousand soldiers, didn't personally do the killing, but the blame falls on him all the same."

"In the same way, Miss Xu, you are merely a knife that carries out orders. It's not the knife that decides whom to kill, but the person wielding it."

Xue Jing walked up to her, towering above her and looking down with a smile in his eyes:

"Even if you wanted to kill me yourself, it doesn't matter... who would be bothered by a little cat's scratching and pawing?"

Xu Wenkui was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

"Am I just a 'little cat' then..."

...

The Dragon Core Fighter landed; the hatch opened, and Xu Wenkui stepped out.

Watching her leave, Ning Fengwan, standing beside Xue Jing with her arms crossed and propping up the trophy, her stunningly beautiful face expressing a sigh, said:

"Jing, you are very despicable now."

Xue Jing was speechless and said, "Watch less Blade Teeth, careful not to turn homo."

Ning Fengwan rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and huffed,

"You're getting better and better at using seductive tricks and sweet talk on women. Although I don't know what you're up to, that woman must be spinning around in circles because of you."

Xue Jing felt wronged, "What seduction? What on earth are you talking about? Wasn't that just a normal negotiation?"

Ning Fengwan curled her lip, "Who uses that kind of tone in a negotiation? You almost had bubbles in your voice..."

Xue Jing made an amused sound and stretched out his hand to rub the soft cat ears on her head.

This Ning Maomao truly belittled her talent by being the Leader of the Dragon Sect; she ought to be the leader of a Vinegar Sect instead.

The Dragon Core Fighter levitated and took off, and at Xue Jing's command, it approached the vicinity of the 1000th floor of the Sky Center.

"You guys wait here; I have something to handle."

After instructing them and receiving Ning Yuantai's respectful acknowledgment, Xue Jing left the cabin and went to the spot where he had parted ways with Yu Ga Shenle before.

Without waiting for him to start searching, Yu Ga Shenle spotted him and walked out from a hidden corner, waving her hand to greet him,

"Xue Jun~ Over here, over here."

Seeing her, Xue Jing walked over and said with a smile,

"Just wrapped things up not too long ago after talking with someone... Have you been waiting anxiously?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ga Shenle showed a naughty and cute smile on her charming face, then suddenly turned her head and humphed,

"I-I wasn't waiting for you at all."

Xue Jing: "..."

My little toe has slammed into the corner of a table; that's when I yelp in pain.

Lu Sang, who do you think you're fooling?

"Hehe~ How is it, cute, right?" Yu Ga Shenle said smilingly.

Xue Jing kept his face unchanged, "Mediocre."

This woman really does have some talent...

"Eh~ At least give me a bit more of a reaction, Onii-chan~"

Yu Ga Shenle stepped forward, wrapping her arm around Xue Jing's arm and cooing in a high-pitched tone.

Since she had returned to her true form hastily and unprepared, not wearing any armor upfront, the soft top-rated Asian Cup was only separated by a few thin layers of clothing, rubbing against Xue Jing's arm...

The innately wicked women of the Far East, I shall personally...

Xue Jing's eyelid twitched, suppressing the slight tumult in his heart, and extricated himself from her embrace, speaking calmly,

"What are you going to do now? Do you have a way to revert to your previous state?"

Yu Ga Shenle shook her head, her hands reaching behind to untie the ribbon in her hair, letting her silky waterfall-like waist-length hair cascade naturally down.

She held the ribbon, now broken in two, in front of Xue Jing, speaking softly,

"This is an unofficial Divine Relic that has not been formally cataloged. I've named it 'Yi Chai'er Bian'."

Xue Jing paused upon hearing the term and searched it on his phone, learning that it meant 'to replace a gold hairpin with a ceremonial crown' and was used to refer to a woman dressing as a man.

"How can you come up with an obscure idiom like that, which even I, as a Zhuxia person, have seldom heard of?"

Yu Ga Shenle looked innocent and said with a foreign accent that was quite awkward, "I don't understand what Nini is talking about~ My Chinese isn't that good."

As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing herself, then reverted to her normal accent and said softly,

"As long as you wear this Divine Relic, you can perfectly shift from female to male. As long as you don't remove it, from the genes to sexual characteristics, you become just like a real man."

"However... now that it's been cut, it has temporarily lost its effect."

Xue Jing reached out and took 'Yi Chai'er Bian', saying, "So what's your plan now?"

[Divine Substance detected, commencing absorption of Divinity...]

"This is the first time I've faced this situation... For now, let's try fixing it first."

"Before its effects are restored, let me follow you around, Brother Jing~"

Yu Ga Shenle revealed a perfect, adorable smile, and her pristine, neatly aligned teeth glistened like porcelain.
