The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1163 - 446: The King of Sloth・Kukuba_3

At the same time, with the idea that new friends should exchange greetings, it activated "Pain Demon God’s Finger" to share the current pleasure.

"Ow! Where did that damn mosquito come from?"

"I was sleeping so sweetly, I hate mosquitoes the most! Die, die! Don’t touch me, bastard!"

Kukuba slapped himself on the left cheek eighteen times in a row.

By the fifth strike, half of his face was already swollen.

By the tenth strike, it had swelled into a pig’s head.

By the eighteenth strike, he had broken a front tooth, and his eye socket had cracked open; he was brutally hard on himself.

"I’m awake, finally awake!"

GuaGua covered his eyes, peeking through his fingers.

The divine blood of the filthy cloth is a massive weapon.

It would have been better if this poor hulk had been awoken by a little sword, but instead, he had to suffer an additional serious sin.

"Hisss... who are you guys?"

"This is the Demon Queen’s tower, I’ve hidden all the way here, is there still work waiting for me? No, I don’t like to work!"

Kukuba screamed miserably, hysterically.

He was breathing unstably, unable to absolutely block Mo’s curse.

But the central statue, and the pillow behind the statue, were both emitting gray beams of light.

Bathed in this beam, the flattened Mo suddenly flew up, forced away from Kukuba’s body.

"Such dense divine blood, who the hell are you?"

Kukuba, realizing something was amiss later, started removing the rotten skin from his face while glancing over sideways.

His large body granted him an expansive field of vision.

Ye Hanjun, Ye Liuying, and Bana - he took them all in at a glance.

As his gaze swept over Aegifura, his eyes paused for a second with a look of doubt:

"Eh? Primordial Enchanting Demon?"

"You’ve got a pretty unique look. Are you from the new generation? Why leave the Land of Lust to come to my Land of Sloth?"

"..."

Aegifura looked at Kukuba with the eyes of someone watching a dead person.

After a while, she squeezed out a few words in Demonic Language through clenched teeth:

"You... didn’t you attend the Seven Lords’ meeting? Why pretend to be clueless here?"

"Seven Lords’ meeting? When did that happen?"

Kukuba scratched his head with a you’re-trying-to-fool-me expression.

Suddenly, his divine thought stirred, and with one hand digging in his backside, he pulled out a crumpled paper, resembling toilet paper, from inside his pants.

He stared at the words on the paper, mumbling as he read:

"Great King, the King of Pride requests your presence at the meeting."

"I saw you were sleeping soundly, took the liberty of projecting your image so as not to wake you, you wouldn’t hold that against me, right?"

"Alright, the meeting’s over, I, Kuku Lu, am off duty, next in rotation is Kuku Da, let’s meet again if we’re both alive..."

After reading the careless words, Kukuba realized,

"Oh, it was Kuku Lu."

"This kid, ignoring the bad to learn the good, he’s taken all my essence, he has the potential to be a Clan Leader..."

"I don’t want to, I don’t want to be a Clan Leader!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a Primordial Sleep Demon suddenly clutched its head in the corner as if having a nightmare.

Kukuba pricked up his ears and scratched his head again, a look of speechlessness on his face:

"Ah, if it wasn’t for the old generation biting the dust, who would want to be Clan Leader."

"Get a move on, promote to Supreme Holy Completion sooner, and take over my position earlier."

"Eh, who’s this young guy? He’s got pretty thick skin, sleeping even sounder than me..."

As he said this, Kukuba’s eyes sparkled. He jumped over to where Lan Qixiong was, staring intently at the lion’s head.

Yang Xiaoqi and She Xiaoxiong were both startled.

The divine fluctuations from Kukuba’s body were incredibly strong, and with his rank as a Supreme Saint Complete, not yet a Half-Step Deity, he was undoubtedly an absolute ruler, with few beings able to contend.

"Wow! The old ancestor has opened his heavenly eye!"

"This young guy has actually gained the approval of the Seven Sins, and even Demon Queen Ralu Habu has given her blessing!"

"Such a pity, such a pity, it’s just a blessing and not an inheritance!"

"If it were an inheritance, I’d take my whole clan and retreat this instant, happily ceding the Land of Laziness to you folks to do as you please!"

Kukuba’s eyes first glittered, then his face was filled with annoyance.

This display had Ye Liuying, watching Ye Hanjun silently, wondering if this truly was the King of Laziness? How could he be so out-of-tune, acting like a complete fool?

"That, um..."

GuaGua, raising his hand tentatively, said weakly:

"Big guy, look over your head."

"Over my head?"

Kukuba immediately looked up, glancing left and right, acting like a monkey.

Finally, he saw the pillow behind the statue and, after wracking his brain, said:

"Could this be... a magical artifact of our tribe?"

"Eh?" GuaGua was surprised and curious, "Weren’t you asleep? How did you know about the announcement from the King of Pride?"

"Did Yuwen Nai tell you?"

Kukuba tapped his head and suddenly exclaimed in shock:

"Oh no, I’ve neglected something important!"

"Back in the seventh epoch of the Near Ancient Era, when Kuku Xiong was the Clan Leader, our clan already knew there were seven magical artifacts in the Ancestral Grave!"

"But Kuku Xiong was too lazy, laziness to the point of driving demons mad!"

"He actually threw such a troublesome matter to me, and in my anger, I forgot all about it!"

"By the time I became the Clan Leader, with a whole lot of issues to handle, it slipped even further from my mind!"

With a "I’m-not-to-blame" expression, Kukuba let out a long sigh:

"Thank goodness, Yuwen Nai is still reliable."

"You guys are good demons too, going out of your way to bring back our artifact, but it’s too bad there’s no tea or water here, otherwise we’d properly host you..."

"Wishful thinking!"

Little GuaGua puffed up his cheeks and interjected directly:

"We accidentally activated the magical artifact, which teleported us here on its own!"

"This is the treasure we worked hard to find. Either you return it to us, or help us find the Whip of Lust?"

"Huh? The magical artifacts have been scattered? And they’ve even fallen into human hands?"

Kukuba, trying to be patient, listened to GuaGua ramble on for a bit, then immediately became anxious.

He leaped up in a whoosh, snatched the pillow and stuffed it straight into Little Lazy Lion’s mouth:

"Take it, take it, just leave me out of this!"

"It’s just a magical artifact; it’s not like we can’t live without it!"

"Anyway, I have no money, and it’s totally impossible for me to help you!"

"My demon life is meant for slopping around; keep your troublesome matters far from me!"

"Gua?"

GuaGua was all question marks.

He and Ye Hanjun stared at each other, wide-eyed, and after a while, GuaGua’s voice weakened, lacking confidence:

"Big guy, from what I understand, a magical artifact has endless benefits to the descendants of the same origin of the Seven Sins."

"If you could sleep on it, you might one day advance to a Half-Step Deity."

"Don’t you find that tempting at all? You have such a strong will."

Kukuba, oddly pleased by the praise, said:

"That’s right!"

"If I could advance to a Half-Step Deity or even reach the state of Divine Enthronement just by sitting back and relaxing, I would be willing!"

"But things aren’t that simple, are they? Almost two hundred thousand years have passed since the epoch of the Demon God, and the Realm of Desire hasn’t seen a second Divine Enthronement."

"I’m not a chosen demon, so why shoulder these karmic debts? Instead of striving hard, I’d rather idle around. Demon life’s all about happiness, right? Do whatever makes you comfortable~~"

"Gua! You’ve got even more personality than Little Meili!"

GuaGua couldn’t help but exclaim.

Big Tadpole had mentioned earlier when he was identifying that Kukuba’s Core Personality was "waiting to die."

Before, GuaGua had no concept of it, but now, he was starting to get the picture.
