The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 175: Puppets?

The eternal hell tower was a special high-grade item that was originally created a thousand years ago as the fourth-dimensional training ground, but due to the high risk of death, it was later turned into a torture prison for people who committed unforgivable sins.

To think that a mere twelve-year-old had been able to get out of there with his soul intact... It was certainly an achievement that seemed almost impossible to attain.

"What do you plan on doing with it?" Jin Shifeng gulped as she asked, suddenly seeing Jie Fu Lian in a new light.

"I’m going to trap the master of curses inside it."

"He would be able to get out," Jin Shifeng sighed as she spoke, "The eternal hell tower cannot be looked down upon but it’s still not enough to kill that man."

"I do not plan on killing him," Jie Fu Lian shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, "I just plan to trap him inside."

"He’ll get out," Jin Shifeng firmly spoke.

"And I’ll prevent that by breaking the eternal hell tower."

"Huh...?" For a second there, Jin Shifeng wondered if she had heard that correctly.

"The eternal hell tower is just an object that is used as a door to a different space. If we send him in and break the eternal hell tower, he would not be able to find his way out since the door would have disappeared," Jie Fu Lian smirked as he explained.

"But he’ll end up being trapped there forever."

"We can just make another eternal hell tower and replace the door that we had destroyed."

Jin Shifeng looked to be a little impressed as she heard this and nodded her head as she thought about it and spoke, "It might work. If the master of curses is not next to Jin Long, he would no longer be able to help him and Jin Long would also become vulnerable inside the abyss. It would be a perfect scenario."

Yu Wei slightly frowned as she heard this and spoke up, sharing her thoughts on the topic, "Even without the master of curses, Jin Long is not a man who can be taken lightly. He might not have surpassed you in terms of cultivation, but he is surely a tricky man who’ll do whatever it takes, no matter how crazy it is, in order to win."

"There are five of us and six, if we include Ren Lei as well," Shen Chao spoke up as he pointed out, "No matter what he does, there is no way he can manage to defeat all of us alone."

In theory, it surely did sound ridiculous to imagine Jin Long defeating them all.

"The odds certainly seem to be in our favor," Jin Shifeng nodded her head as she spoke, "However, we must not underestimate him. Even I don’t know what he is really capable of."

Jie Fu Lian and Hua Tianshu nodded their heads, agreeing with the woman.

"As long as we can separate him from the master of curses, I believe that we stand a chance," Jie Fu Lian spoke.

Jin Shifeng gave a nod as she heard his, "I’ll get the eternal hell tower ready for you."

Jie Fu Lian nodded his head and turned his head to look at Shen Chao as he spoke, "Go and find Ren Lei."

Shen Chao pursed his lips into a thin line and nodded his head in understanding as he heard this.

Jie Fu Lian turned his head to glance at Yu Wei as he spoke, "Can you go and find Mo Xue for me? Explain the situation to him and I’m sure he’ll agree to help."

"Mo Xue?" Yu Wei repeated, feeling a little confused.

"He is the king of demonic beasts."

Yu Wei nodded her head, "Alright. I’ll find him for you."

Jie Fu Lian, "We’ll all meet again at the mouth of the abyss. Please make sure to hurry up."

The group soon split up and Hua Tianshu looked at Jie Fu Lian as he asked, "Are we going there directly?"

"Of course, not."

"Hmm?"

"We are going to make puppets."

"Puppets?" Hua Tianshu repeated, his eyebrows creasing together in confusion.

Jie Fu Lian gave a nod as he confirmed it and spoke, "Puppets that resemble me. About a thousand of them should be good."

"What are you planning to do?"

"I’m going to distract Jin Long while you move in and capture the master of curses inside the eternal hell tower."

Hua Tianshu did not know exactly what the man was planning but he had a lot of trust in Jie Fu Lian and believed that the man’s plan would be a success.

"How do we make the puppets?" Hua Tianshu asked. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

As Jie Fu Lian heard this question, he took a minute to seriously think about it before he spoke, "It would be better to make it out of stone but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to find that many large stones and even if we managed to find them, to carve them out would be troublesome. For now, we can only settle for mud."

When Hua Tianshu heard this, he suddenly remembered something and hesitated a little before he spoke, "If you are looking for stone sculptures then I might be able to help."

"Huh?"

Hua Tianshu coughed and cleared his throat as he took off his spatial ring and opened it to show Jie Fu Lian exactly what he was talking about.

From the spatial ring, came out a lot more than a thousand stone statues of Jie Fu Lian.

"There are eight thousand stone statues for you to choose from," Hua Tianshu proudly spoke.

Jie Fu Lian didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or seriously ask Hua Tianshu where he got all these statues from and why he needed them...

Some of the statues were of Jie Fu Lian’s original appearance, while others were of the Demon King’s appearance.

"Umm... TianTian, would it be rude to ask why you have these with you...?"

Hua Tianshu’s ears blushed red as he heard this question and he averted eye contact as he tried to brush it off as nothing, "I just happened to come across them."

Jie Fu Lian couldn’t help but chuckle as he heard this, "There is no way you came across so many statues for free. Don’t tell me you carved them all out with your own two hands...?"

Hua Tianshu quickly denied it as he spoke, "I did not! I’m not crazy enough to do something like that!"

Jie Fu Lian pouted as he heard this and decided to tease the man a little as he spoke, "Is that so? That’s a pity~ I thought it would’ve been really romantic if you had carved them out yourself."

Hua Tianshu felt a little wronged as he heard this and hurriedly spoke, "I can do it if you want me to! I can carve more than eight thousand! I’ll carve a hundred thousand statues of you!"

Jie Fu Lian clicked his tongue and lightly smacked the man’s head as he heard this, "Don’t you dare try. Do you even know how long that would take? It would be better if you spend that time with me."

Hua Tianshu smiled as he heard this and nodded his head as he spoke, "I would also like to spend that time with you instead of carving out statues. As for these statues, I bought them from the demon realm."

"It must have been expensive."

"I emptied out my pockets for it."

Jie Fu Lian felt the urge to thank the man for his dedication, but at the same time, he also felt that it would encourage Hua Tianshu to do the same in the future as well and Jie Fu Lian did not want that.

In the end, Jie Fu Lian kissed Hua Tianshu’s cheek as a reward and spoke, "TianTian, it was crazy of you to spend so much money on buying stone statues but thanks to you, we do not need to worry about the puppets. I just hope you don’t do the same in the future. Why would you need a statue of me when I’m standing right in front of you?"

When Hua Tianshu heard the latter question, his lips unconsciously curled up in a smile and with blushing cheeks, he spoke, "You are better than them but I had a plan for those statues."

"A plan?" Jie Fu Lian repeated, tilting his head in confusion as he asked, "What plan?"

"They were supposed to come in handy when you ascend."

"Huh?"

"I would build many temples dedicated to you and each stone statue would be placed in a different temple. Eight thousand is already a bit less. I was planning on buying more."

When Jie Fu Lian heard this, he seriously wondered if the man was joking or not and in the end, came to the conclusion that Hua Tianshu’s face looked too serious for it to be a mere joke.

"TianTian, are you sure you didn’t hit your head somewhere...?" Jie Fu Lian questioned, "It sometimes seems as if you have lost your marbles."

"..."
