Chapter 704 (1/2)

Sui Xiong was naturally unwilling to let go of a disciple. This was especially so seeing as Kalisa belonged to his church’s inner circle. This was not just a problem of benefits but also an issue of personal relations.

If Kalisa had followed the Goddess of Love from the start or if the Goddess of Love had approached him thirty, forty years ago to discuss this proposition, he would have agreed without much thought. However, Kalisa had already been an important member of the Void Mask Church for the past fifty years and was heavily involved in the core of the work, gaining her respect and trust among the followers. She had already become indispensable and irreplaceable. Thus, he would definitely not accede to her request now.

Furthermore, he had developed such a longstanding relationship with Kalisa; surely he could not be expected to just give that up overnight!

Benefits-wise, as a member of the core of the Church of Void Mask as well as being the Garth City Lord, she was also too important to give up.

Thus, after a few rounds of hesitation, the Void Mask Lord still shook his head.

“No, it cannot be done. If Kalisa really suits your teachings, she will naturally become your Holy Spirit when she dies. However, I will not be doing my own trades with my followers, and that’s the end of discussion on this matter.”

He had assumed that with such words, the Goddess of Love would fly into a rage and continue the cold war with him or even take physical action. Thus, he readied himself for battle even as he spoke.

To his surprise, the Goddess of Love did not flare up but rather smiled to herself.

“Very good! Your answer makes me extremely satisfied.”

“Ah?” Sui Xiong was shocked as this was not the reaction he had been expecting.

The Goddess of Love smiled widely upon seeing the Void Mask’s confusion and explained, “Kalisa’s personal focus in life is her own choice to make. Who she wants to follow, who she wants to respect is also her own choice to make. Similarly, whether she will become my Holy Spirit after she passes away or whether she will enter my God’s Kingdom is also her choice. How can we as gods act purely on instinct and decide her fate for her? I really like your answer and your mindset towards this issue. While I cannot say that you understand the workings of a woman’s heart, at the very least, you understand the concept of respect. This is something that’s rather rare in this world.”

“Does this mean you agree to do me this favor?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Of course! I will find Kalisa right now to discuss this matter. Perhaps when she meets me, she will be so enamored that she will realize that she should be my follower…”

Upon saying that, the Goddess of Love teleported back to her own God’s Kingdom to morph into a physical being, ready to enter the human world.

Sui Xiong was left in a rather confused state, and he couldn’t decide whether he was more angry at her insolence or happy that the matter was finally resolved.

While the goddesses in the kingdom had blurry relations with each other, nevertheless, they had interacted with each other for many years, and thus they were used to the Goddess of Love’s unreliable nature as well as the fact that they always had to clean up after her. Thus, the Goddess of Joy approached Sui Xiong graciously and offered him some desserts and tea at her God’s Kingdom to smooth things over.

Sui Xiong was definitely not about to turn her down, and thus both of them made their way to the Goddess of Joy’s kingdom.

This kingdom was called Sorrow-Proof Kingdom and was the core of the Sorrow-Proof Field. In the past, when the Goddess of Joy been sealed as a god, she had merged her own kingdom and the Sorrow-Proof field and thus became the ruler of this world. This had also laid the foundations for the Sorrow-Proof God System.
