A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1860 - 516 Eye of Blasphemy and Light of Judgment

...

The Devil Bu Ye's projection in the material world was nothing more than a human-like shell.

Most of it was wrapped in chaotic shadows and delicate vines.

Especially the face.

Matthew had gazed at its face for so long,

it was as if he saw a fathomless vortex!

He knew this was the effect of an Esoteric Spell, so he quickly shifted his gaze.

"Mr. Matthew."

"First of all, I want to thank you for sparing my mount."

Bu Ye's voice actually sounded quite pleasant, youthful, and full of vigor.

Matthew replied calmly,

"It was no trouble at all."

"Besides, I had no particular reason to kill it, I just didn't want to see it cause unnecessary conflict with my friends."

Bu Ye chuckled,

"Your choice was the right one."

"You're clever."

"And you weren't used by that wretched woman, Lady Xue!"

When mentioning the name of Lady Xue,

Bu Ye seemed to grit his teeth.

Matthew's expression shifted slightly:

"Do you hate her that much?"

"Of course!"

Bu Ye replied with a hint of anger,

"That cunning woman used me!"

"She made me all kinds of promises, but in the end, none were fulfilled!"

"After all, she even had the nerve to blame me for being too greedy!"

"Didn't she know what I wanted during all the years I helped her stabilize this kingdom?"

"No!"

"She did know, she was very clear about what I wanted."

"She was just pretending all along, always finding excuses for herself!"

"She contentedly enjoyed the kingdom I had conquered for her, yet in the end, she wouldn't even satisfy my most humble request!"

"How could I possibly not hate her?!"

With the Devil's angry tirade,

his projection began to twist violently, the breeze on the balcony grew colder, and the platform under Matthew's feet even trembled slightly, as if it might disintegrate at any moment!

Matthew quickly said a few words to comfort him.

Bu Ye then calmed down.

"So what you want is her, right? What reason did she give for rejecting you?"

Matthew asked curiously.

Bu Ye replied bitterly,

"Ugly!"

"She said it was because I was too ugly, and she instinctively felt repulsed, so she couldn't be with me!"

Matthew couldn't help but snicker inwardly upon hearing this,

"It seems I guessed right; Lady Xue really isn't any good!"

"How important can beauty and ugliness be compared to a territory like the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes?"

At that moment,

Bu Ye suddenly turned toward Matthew.

His fuzzy head began to take on a real appearance.

After a few seconds,

Bu Ye's projection fully transformed into a clear, humanoid creature.

But when Matthew saw Bu Ye's face, he fell into a long silence once again—

"Wait..."

"This is indeed a humanoid!"

"But it seems to meet only the bare minimum standards of being humanoid..."

Matthew was silent.

He swallowed hard, a cold shiver running through him—

This Devil Bu Ye was indeed exceedingly ugly.

Could any normal person accept such an unsightly partner?

His opinion of Lady Xue gained back a bit of respect.

"Mr. Matthew, give me an honest answer, do you think I'm ugly?"

Bu Ye demanded angrily.

Matthew hesitated for two seconds, then lied through his teeth,

"It's decent..."

"Just average..."

Average ugliness?

Matthew added inwardly.

Bu Ye immediately argued,

"I knew it! I really am not ugly; it's just that vulgar woman lying!"

"To tell you the truth, I've asked many demons and warlocks before, and not one of them called me ugly!"

"Only Lady Xue!"

"She insulted my adoration for her with such a despicable excuse!"

"She's inhuman!"

Matthew silently endured the wave of resentment washing over him, his teeth itching to retort,

"Sssss..."

"It's like this; although you're not bad-looking, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement when it comes to Charm."

"Lady Xue Ji, being a Warlock, surely prefers beings with high Charm."

"How about wearing a mask, or maintaining a Charm spell, or adopting a form with higher Charm?"

He tried to offer sincere advice.

But this was met with a strong rebuff from Bu Ye:

"Why should I wear a mask? I'm not a demon who hides and skulks!"

"As for Transfiguration, that's out of the question. I am as I am, I hate dishonesty!"

Matthew unconsciously wanted to persuade him further.

But Bu Ye suddenly snapped,

"Do you like to recommend Charm items or spells so much, are you selling Charm dust?"

"You're so handsome, you must have used Transfiguration, and probably Charm dust too, right?"

Matthew opened his mouth,

but under Bu Ye's doubtful gaze,

he sighed inwardly.

However, Bu Ye took Matthew's gesture as an affirmation,

"I just knew you must be enhanced somehow!"

"There's no way someone can be naturally that good-looking, hahaha!"

He seemed a lot more balanced inside.

Matthew suddenly felt,

this great Devil from the Abyss might not be that difficult to deal with.

He smoothly steered the conversation back on track,

"So, it all started to fall apart between you two over this?"

Bu Ye nodded.

"She couldn't accept my appearance, I can understand that."

"In fact, after some time of my courtship being fruitless, I also convinced myself to accept this."

"I no longer demanded Lady Xue fulfill her promise to be my wife, instead I told her that as long as she could keep another promise, we would remain allies in battle, and I would continue to protect the land of Asidu..."
