Fang Cheng's meaningful gaze made Gui Yunji somewhat puzzled.
She subconsciously recalled the ridiculous erotic dream just now, and her cheeks suddenly felt slightly warm.
However, this did not affect Oni Yunji. She sat down calmly and said to Fang Cheng: "I'm really sorry. I wanted to help you solve your trouble, but I didn't expect that I couldn't help you at all."
Fang Cheng waved his hand: "We are already so familiar, so there is no need to say these polite words. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, otherwise I will have no chance to negotiate with the evil god."
Gui Yunji leaned forward slightly, and didn't mind if her collar showed some spring light. She looked down at Fang Cheng and said, "Actually, we have something to ask for your help, Cheng."
Fang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, he's still here, I just took a break.
But the cannons have been fired. Although we don’t know whether they are true or false, we can’t draw our guns ruthlessly, right?
He had no choice but to calm down and ask, "What do you need my help with?"
Oni Yunji whispered: "This matter is related to the evidence Shuten Doji is looking for."
Fang Cheng looked curious: "So, what exactly is the certificate you are talking about?"
"It's a long story."
"Then let's keep the story short."
"..."
Oniunji was still thinking about where to start, and Uko Kaori on the side took the initiative to pour tea for her and Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng took the tea cup and was about to talk to her when he found that she was sitting aside and her eyes had not met his from the beginning to the end.
Is this...angry? what's the situation?
When Fang Cheng was confused about Umitsu Kaori's attitude, Oniunji finally spoke.
"A Cheng, you should know that most aliens have the habit of devouring their own kind to strengthen themselves..."
Fang Cheng nodded. Vampires are the most typical ones. They are famous for killing each other before, and they also like to create opponents for themselves. They can be made into a collection of monsters' confusing behaviors.
"Actually, there are monsters too, but in different ways..."
Perhaps because it is easier to form a group, the monster's method is different from other monsters. It is not devouring, but competing.
Among all the monsters in the world, there has been a competitive instinct that has been circulating for more than two hundred years. They will choose the most powerful monster as the leader in the competition.
If any monster can defeat competitors from all over the world, then it will be the lord of monsters and will naturally have control and dominance over all monsters.
A hundred years ago, great monsters from all over the world had a fierce and cruel competition.
At that time, the ghost master had just fallen out with Shuten Doji, and in order to maintain the stability of the Iron Palace, he really had no time to participate.
Many youkai suspected that Shuten-douji disappeared at that time and secretly participated in the competition.
Facts have proved that the ghost master was right not to participate. Because there were too many big monsters participating in this competition, it eventually turned into a big melee with a breakdown of order. In the end, corpses were everywhere and there were heavy casualties.
The surviving monsters learned from the experience and had to join forces to formulate rules.
Only monsters who have obtained the voucher can enter the venue to compete for the status of the Lord of Monsters. If you can't even get the admission voucher, then just go home and feed yourself.
More than ten years ago, the ghost owner went out to fight for the certificate. Although he successfully obtained the certificate, he came back seriously injured, and the injury never recovered.
Although he is a well-known master of the Iron Palace in District 11, he is not well-known to the whole world.
After listening to Gui Yunji's explanation, Fang Cheng finally understood that this voucher was simply a ticket.
Only with tickets can you play with the big guys. Without tickets, you can't even get in.
He asked Oni Yunji: "When Shuten Doji asked for it, you were unwilling to hand it over. Is this certificate very important to you?"
"That's right!"
Oni Yunji said seriously: "My dream is to become the Lord of Demons, so the certificate is essential for me."
"Um... I'm not trying to discourage you. It might be a little too early for you to consider this dream now."
Fang Cheng tried his best to speak tactfully, that is, he has a good temper now, but in the past, he would have said all kinds of unpleasant things.
Oni Unhime can't even beat Shuten Douji, so standing on the world stage is nothing.
Gui Yunji knew very well that Fang Cheng was talking about her own talents, so she was not angry, but smiled and said: "I know my own strength very well, so I won't consider it in the short term, but there is another important reason. , no matter who it is, the voucher cannot be handed over."
Fang Cheng wondered: "What's the reason?"
Umitsu Kaori, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "The certificate is the future."
Fang Cheng suddenly turned his head to look at her with a question mark: "Did you say it wrong or did I hear it wrong?"
"You neither heard nor heard me wrong."
Umitsu Kaori said calmly: "Umitsu Mirai, my daughter, is the proof."
Fang Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
"How come you monsters are involved in human trafficking, and you even got a child as a voucher...wait, the future is not your biological child?"
He suddenly realized that Gui Yunji said that the voucher was obtained by the ghost owner from outside more than ten years ago.
Then it cannot be Umitsu Kaori's biological child, there is a conflict between the two.
"The future is indeed not related to me by blood."
Umitsu Kaori whispered a truth that had been hidden for more than ten years: "She was given to me to be raised by the ghost master."
More than ten years ago, the ghost master returned to the Iron Palace after obtaining the certificate. He privately handed a baby girl who was waiting for feeding to Uguang Kaori, told her that this was the certificate for the fight for the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, and ordered her to be taken out and raised.
"I originally wanted to hide this matter forever. In fact, the princess only found out about it in the past few days."
Oni Yunji nodded. She only knew that her father had received the certificate, but she did not know that the certificate turned out to be a baby.
After knowing that the ghost master was dead, Umitsu Kaori quietly told her the matter.
Fang Cheng suddenly realized that no wonder Umitsu Kaori was obviously a fox, but her daughter was a dog demon.
Just looking at the bust sizes of the two, it's obvious that they are not biological children.
"So why is the voucher a child?"
Neither Umitsu Kaori nor Oniunhime could answer this question because the Oni Lord never said it.
He is dead now, so we can't get some magician to fish his soul out of hell and ask about it.
Fang Cheng gave up on this question and asked Umitsu Kaori another sentence that he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"Since the identity of the future is so important, why would you hand her over as a hostage?"
"Not a hostage."
Before, Umitsu Kaori didn't bother to explain this problem to others, but now she had to explain it to Fang Cheng.
"At that time, I had no idea what the situation was like in the Iron Palace. The outcome of my return to assist the princess was unknown, so I could only arrange an escape route for the future in advance. My identity as a hostage was to protect her."
Umitsu Kaori has raised Uguang Mirai for more than ten years. Mother and daughter are not better than mother and daughter. They have developed feelings for her long ago. How could she really take her as a hostage?
But the situation at that time was that there were people outside who were eyeing the Yuguang family, and it was not convenient for her to take her daughter back to the Iron Palace, so she had to arrange an escape route first.
"Okay, so what exactly do you want from me?"
"It's the safety of the future."
Umitsu Kaori bit her lower lip and slowly knelt down in front of Fang Cheng, bending her upper body forward until her forehead touched her palms on the ground.
"Shuten Doji will find out about Mirai sooner or later. Neither the princess nor I are his opponent, so I hope you can protect Mirai's safety when you go back. Please."
