The Goddess of Love sat on the seat warmed by the fire and glanced at the patch of green above her angrily.
It was a colossal green jellyfish, and it was currently stretching. Such a movement made it look like it was engulfing the entire kingdom. Previously, with a flash of inspiration, she had tried to manipulate her God’s Kingdom and escape but was self-defeated. Sui Xiong had simply enlarged his body to wrap the entire kingdom, reaching his many tentacles outwards to add layers on the outside, making the kingdom look like a wrapped dumpling!
From afar, it looked like this large jellyfish had swallowed the entire kingdom into his stomach and was ready to demolish and digest it all.
“Stop being stubborn, look at the situation now!” His good friend, the Goddess of Lavender, was equally affected and sighed. “Thank goodness the Void Mask has a good temper; if he had been bad-tempered, you’d have been doomed a long time ago!”
“Yes, we have to be reasonable. This job was yours to begin with. He is a strong spirit but was willing to negotiate with you politely and offer a big pay-out. He merely invited you to take a walk and talk—that wasn’t hard at all! Instead, you chose to be ridiculous…. Honestly, if it were me, I’d have destroyed your God’s Kingdom and seized prisoners long ago!” Another god with similar sentiments, the Goddess of Fortune, chided the Goddess of Love.
“Yes, consider the situation from his perspective! If he were you, could you have been so controlled and calm?” The Goddess of Joy asked as she glanced sternly at the Goddess of Love.
The Goddess of Love was speechless, and she chose to shrivel up her body into a ball of fire, rolling around the floor as she laughed in a strange fashion.
This was the tactic that she always employed as a defense mechanism whenever her friends were debating with her and she was about to lose.
The Goddess of Fortune boiled with rage but was unable to do anything further.
All her friends knew that once the Goddess of Love used such a tactic, she would momentarily become unfeeling. If you tried to converse with her at this point, it would be futile. Even hitting her or throwing her into an ice mountain to freeze wouldn’t elicit any response. To put it bluntly, it was her way of throwing a childish temper tantrum.
“Sometimes, I really feel like beating her up. The fact that she hasn’t been beaten up by anyone yet in her life is a miracle in itself!” The Goddess of Fortune muttered angrily to herself.
The Goddess of Joy sighed and gestured above her as she said, “Maybe she’ll really receive a beating in the near future.”
Looking at the body of the giant jellyfish above her, the Goddess of Lavender shivered and asked in a low voice, “Do you think… he knows everything that happens in this place?”
“Probably! If it were me, I would definitely probe fully till the internal workings of the kingdom—at the very least, I know I would be able to penetrate the Flame of Passion. The Void Mask’s power is stronger than mine. If I can do it, he definitely can do it,” the Goddess of Joy replied.
Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Lavender’s worry increased, and she asked tentatively, “Then… wouldn’t he notice us right now?”
The Goddess of Joy smiled and said, “Stop imagining things and scaring yourself! He’s so busy, where would he find time to notice us? Do you know how big the Church of the Void Mask is? Do you know how many followers he has? Furthermore, he has many other things to do… among the gods, even if he isn’t the busiest, he is definitely one of the busiest few.”
“Yet in the end, this busy man managed to surround the Flame of Passion for a month!” The Goddess of Fortune had piped up.
The Goddess of Joy was momentarily stunned, and she froze for a long time before sighing.
