Chapter 774: Chapter 370: Pressuring the Kitchen God?_1

The Mountain Spider looked up smugly and said, "That’s right, if it weren’t for the Saint stepping in to mediate, these pieces of garbage would have been wiped out by us long ago."

Qin Shou glared at him and said, "Don’t get cocky, have you forgotten what happened at the Demon Slaying Altar? If it really came to a fight, you’d be dead meat too."

The Mountain Spider was immediately embarrassed and stood there awkwardly.

Qin Shou said, "You two better wise up. We’re still fighting amongst ourselves, and if Black Mirror attacks, well..."

When Black Mirror was mentioned, both Mo Lishou and the Mountain Spider fell silent.

After a while, Mo Lishou asked, "I, is there really such a thing as a Black Mirror in the world?"

Qin Shou nodded and said, "Yes, do you want to see it?"

Mo Lishou sighed and said, "If it were before my Investiture of the Gods, I really would want to take a look. But now... forget it, I don’t have enough strength; going there would be a death sentence. I’m just curious, is there really another me in that Black Mirror?"

Qin Shou said, "Maybe, don’t think too much about it."

Seeing the state of the two, Qin Shou essentially felt relieved.

If the two sides stopped fighting, it meant they had basically made up, and all that was left was to negotiate terms internally. Now that the Heavenly Court was quiet, he could put his worries aside for the moment.

After entering the Southern Gate, Qin Shou headed straight for Tianyong City. Upon entering Tianyong City, Qin Shou noticed that no red lines had been drawn inside, which was a relief.

However, when Qin Shou arrived at the Kitchen God’s dog meat shop, he sensed something was off!

A crowd of people were gathered outside the dog meat shop, craning their necks to see something in the middle.

Two City Guards teams were also in confrontation, seemingly having a heated dispute.

Qin Shou frowned and cursed inwardly, "Damn, if there’s something to discuss, can’t you do it elsewhere? Are you blocking my master’s business here?"

While speaking, Qin Shou casually patted a bystander who was watching the commotion and asked, "Hey, brother, what’s going on inside?"

The person turned around irritably and said, "I don’t know!"

Qin Shou took out a Red Spirit Crystal and said, "You really don’t know?"

The man’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly said with a smile, "I know, I know... The Demon Clan no longer comes in, and now there are two factions ruling in Heavenly Court. Tianyong City is also planning to draw a dividing line, but they haven’t reached an agreement. After all, the residents and businesses in Tianyong City are all human race, and everyone has a sentimental attachment. Suddenly asking them to pack up and leave, nobody is happy about that, so there has been constant turmoil. However, it’s been dragged on for so long that the higher-ups seem to want to speed things up.

The Demon Clan’s people from Heavenly Court want the people in this shop to move out, but the shop’s people won’t budge, and even called in the patrol team from the human faction of Heavenly Court.

The patrol teams from both sides are facing each other, and the atmosphere is very tense. If things go wrong, trouble could erupt."

After hearing this, Qin Shou frowned and said, "This is the Kitchen God’s shop."

The person said, "That’s right. But the other side also has significant backing. It is said to be some Prince who has taken a fancy to this shop’s location and insists on including it in their territory. They’ve been in a standoff for three days now!"

Qin Shou, puzzled, said, "Who stepped up on the human Heavenly Court side?"

Qin Shou was very aware that the Kitchen God’s status wasn’t very high; after all, being a kitchen deity, he couldn’t possibly compete with a Prince.

The person shook their head and said, "No one has stepped up, just this one patrol team. And by the looks of it, they’re not going to hold out much longer..."

Just then, someone from the demon patrol team shouted, "Leave quickly, or we won’t be polite!"

The human patrol team heard this and was furious, but the person who shouted from the opposite side was a Golden Immortal, vastly more powerful than any member of the patrol teams. Importantly, the human and demon Heavenly Courts shared the same set of laws, which included a hierarchical system. If the other party held a higher status, those of lower status could not disrespect or act against them. In case of issues, they could only report the matter, and then those above would negotiate or handle the conflict.

This system also served to prevent frictions at the lower levels and to maintain public order.

Hence, no one from the human patrol team could stand up to them.

Everyone just turned their attention to the Kitchen God’s restaurant.

The restaurant’s door slowly opened, and the Kitchen God walked out, tossing out the words, "It doesn’t matter whom you represent, I’m not moving!"

"Honorable Kitchen God, I think it would be in your best interest to reconsider. Our prince has given you three days, and if during these three days you can find someone influential to speak on your behalf, and if there truly is someone our prince must show respect to, then you may keep your restaurant, and we will have nothing further to say. But three days have passed without anyone speaking for you, and dragging it out any longer, what’s the point?"

"Out of respect for you being an Official God of the human Heavenly Court, our prince also wanted to offer you a dignified way out."

"Of course, if you stubbornly refuse, then in a little while, it might not be so dignified anymore."

As the Golden Immortal moved forward, Qin Shou could finally see the person who was speaking.

It was a man with a goatee and small eyes, with narrow eyebrows and a slight mouth protrusion, clearly exhibiting a shifty appearance, not looking like a good individual.

As he spoke, a golden palanquin arrived in the distance, emblazoned with a sun crow pattern, and wherever it passed, all the demons from the Heavenly Court avoided its path, kneeling and bowing—evidently, the newcomer was of high status!

Seeing this, the goateed man immediately turned and respectfully greeted, "I pay my respects to Lord Luwu!"

The person inside the palanquin didn’t speak, but emitted a wisp of aura so strong and domineering that it pushed everyone around away!

Yet, a stronger force was pressing towards the Kitchen God. However, the presence took the Kitchen God’s status into account and wasn’t excessive. It simply used the force to show the Kitchen God that he was outmatched.

Indeed, forced by the aura, the Kitchen God took two steps back, but to everyone’s surprise, he didn’t seem angry. Instead, he chuckled, "A Great Golden Immortal? Tsk tsk... Truly extraordinary."

The goateed man stepped forward, "Since the Kitchen God recognizes a Great Golden Immortal, why not concede and step back?"

The Kitchen God shook his head, gestured with his hand, and a black wok landed in front of him.

Zhou Buhuo quickly ran out, added firewood for his master, and lit the fire.

Seeing this, the goateed man was puzzled, clearly not understanding what the Kitchen God was doing.

The onlooking crowd also started to chatter...

It was then that a chuckle came from inside the palanquin: "Making one last dish before you go? Well then, I’ll give you this chance."

Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly understood!

The goateed man also smiled, "The Kitchen God is generous. Since that’s the case, please proceed with your cooking."

Listened to these words, the people from the human Heavenly Court all sighed and began to murmur among themselves.

"Alas, even a Heavenly God can’t withstand the pressure from the demons; is he really going to move?

"If even a Heavenly God stands thus, how can we ordinary citizens hold our ground against them? It’s over, all over... Alas..."
