Indestructible God King

Her face twitched a bit before she said, "It's my first time seeing someone who dares to use the Demon Sovereign's image for money! Aren't you afraid to die?"

"Why fear death? The Demon Sovereign didn't say I can't make imitations of his mask! Maybe he even wants to become a famous celebrity! And I’m not doing anything wrong!" Wang Ke replied, exuding an upright stance.

Long Yu: "...................!"

She finally understood. It's not that Wang Ke is ignorant; the skin of his face is just too thick.

Wang Ke explained proudly, "Of course, if the Demon Sovereign gives explicit instructions that I can't sell his mask anymore, that's all right too, because I would have already raked in the first wave of money by then. Many more pirated versions will appear later, and I’ll use that opportunity to change to something else. There's a saying, 'I shall have what others don't. And when others have it, I will refine it. When others refine it, I will sell it cheaper. And when others start to sell it cheaper, I’ll drop it!' I’ll just earn a quick buck and then move on!"

Long Yu: "...................!"ç

Damn. It's not that his skin is too thick; he doesn't even care about keeping face!

"What are you gonna do now?" Long Yu asked with a frown.

"Put it on first!" Wang Ke urged.

Still confused, she obliged.

"Nice, perfect! Awesome!" Wang Ke cheered, clapping his hands.

Long Yu: "...................!"

"Wang Ke, what exactly are you trying to do by having me wear this mask replica? For what?" Long Yu asked with a frown.

"Your height is similar to that of the Demon Sovereign. Using this demonic mask and a black robe, tsk tsk…!" Wang Ke said with an excited look.

Long Yu came to a sudden realization. Do you want to pass me off as the Demon Sovereign?

She then understood the scheme being concocted by Wang Ke: he wanted her to pretend to intimidate the snake generals.

"Why would you think I want you to pose as the Demon Sovereign? You are merely wearing the same mask and clothing! I’m not claiming that you’re the Demon Sovereign, either. Should I be blamed if the Snake King and his generals insist you’re the Demon Sovereign?" Wang Ke said.

Long Yu: "...................!"

“Isn't that the same thing?”

Wang Ke continued with a stare, "It's not the same. It's fundamentally different! Directly asking you to pretend being the Demon Sovereign would be disrespectful! But I’m not telling you to do that; I'm merely giving you a new set of clothing and a mask! The snake generals may think you’re him, which has nothing to do with me. They would be the ones being disrespectful! Not me!" Wang Ke said.

Long Yu: "...................!"

Oh gee, should the Demon Sovereign thank you, then?

"Come, come, come. Just try it. Let's head to the snake den and strike a big one!" Wang Ke urged in exhilaration.

"I won't be doing anything!" Long Yu said with a frustrated look.

"You don't have to do a thing. Just stand there, that's all! I will be the one hoax... Uh no, I mean I’ll be doing all the talking!" Wang Ke reassured her before asking, " Aren't you the Demon Sovereign's maidservant? Does he walk in a specific way? Any habits when standing? You just have to do the same!" Wang Ke said.

Long Yu: "...................!"

"Don't worry, I will surely give you a share of whatever I get! I'm a very generous person. You’re just going to stand there and pose, but I will still give you a two out of ten cut! How about that?" Wang Ke suggested with a grin.

Long Yu: "...................!"

"Why? Why the look on your face?" Wang Ke frowned.

Long Yu replied doubtfully, "You... are generous!"

You take eight! While I only take two?

"Haha, that's for sure! I will play mind games with the snakes when the time comes; you’ll just have to stand there and pose! If it were someone else I would only offer a one out of ten cut! However, since you rescued my life, I will double that! You don't have to praise me! This is what I'm supposed to do!" Wang Ke said, flashing a grin.

Long Yu: "...................!"

Which eye of yours sees that I'm praising you?

And so, under Wang Ke's urging, Long Yu agreed to wear the black robe and the demonic mask he prepared.

"Tsk, tsk. You’ve truly proven to be the Demon Sovereign's maidservant, huh! You have a perfect grasp of his demeanor! Your every move is the same. Yes, that's right! That lofty and arrogant look! Yes! Oh darn! You really look like him! Perfect! Long Yu, our success will depend on you!" Wang Ke exclaimed in excitement.

Long Yu: "............!"

Both rushed out of the ice cave, then he carved an ice boat with his flying sword.

"This small boat should move faster. I will row, and you navigate; point us toward Divine Dragon Island and the snake den!" Wang Ke urged.

Long Yu—dressed in the Demon Sovereign's clothes—remained silent for a moment before finally pointing the vessel in a certain direction.

"Good. Sit tight!" Wang Ke said.

"Whoooosh!"

Wang Ke rowed the boat like crazy, shooting forth like an arrow.

While sitting at the front, Long Yu's heart was in shambles. She never expected that she would ever pose as herself, not even in her dreams. And all of this if for scamming? To fleece a bunch of beasts? Do you think I don’t care about my own face?

Damn, what have I gotten myself into! This Wang Ke! Where did this freak come from!?
