Chapter 265 : You Rock, Highgod! 15 (1/2)

‘“Not on purpose?” This phrase again! FL-sama, are you planning on making this damn phrase your life motto or something?!’

“Moon Elder Palace caught fire several days ago. Your red string attached to Dong Jing’s by itself, so this is the will of the heavens,” Zi Huan spoke with a placid expression.

‘Caught fire…

Oh, for fuck’s sake! At least put a little more effort into bullshitting me! What kind of fire could break out in the Heavenly Realm? It needs to be Samadhi Truefire[1] at the very least, right? Which idiot would be stupid enough to play with that sort of thing in the Heavenly Realm?’

“Like I care if it was an accident. Since it happened while you were in charge, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”

Yue Yao, who was timidly standing beside Zi Huan, complained in a soft voice, “How could you blame me for this?”

‘Hey! This girl!’ Shi Sheng swept a cold gaze over, causing Yue Yao to shrink back in fear. Her heart thumped wildly, as if it was about to leapt out of her chest. ‘Her eyes are so scary…’

“You’re the Moon Elder. Who else should I blame if not you? Myself?” Shi Sheng scoffed, “Alright, enough with the nonsense. Talking with you guys lowers my IQ. Hand over the Book of Romantic Fate.”

“Why should it be given to you?” Zi Huan frowned. “Qing Guan, don’t just use your status as Highgod to do whatever you please!”

“…” ‘Well too bad! I’m(lz) gonna do just that!’

“Don’t use your status as an Ancient God to suppress me then!”

‘Sonovabitch! So you can use your strength to suppress others, but they’re aren’t allowed to do the same? Fucking retard.’

Shi Sheng had never seen someone so shameless before. She felt like if she still didn’t attack now, she’d be letting herself down.

Shi Sheng flexed her wrists as the corner of her mouth tilted up, revealing a rather queer smile. That smile caused Zi Huan’s heart to skip a beat, but he calmed down in the next second.

‘She’s just a Highgod. What could she do to me?’

“Qing Guan, this is the Heavenly Realm. Mind your status!”

“Oh,” Shi Sheng replied calmly.

Zi Huan’s heart thumped even harder. ‘Why is her reaction so calm…’

“Highgod Qing Guan!”

“What?!” Shi Sheng glared back fiercely.

Zi Huan, “…” ‘In all my years as an Ancient God, I have never seen someone as arrogant as her!

Even in my heyday when all the other Ancient Highgods were still around, no one dared to speak to me like this!’

Shi Sheng’s eyes narrowed. She charged over with her sword in hand before Zi Huan had a chance to react.

The aura it emitted caused Zi Huan to turn serious. ‘That’s a divine weapon…

Ever since the other Ancient Highgods fell, all of the divine weapons vanished too. I’ve never seen this sword before…where did she get it from?’

But while he was distracted, Shi Sheng’s sword was already about to slice him in half.

Zi Huan’s movements were slowed due to having to protect Yue Yao as well, but he still had the strength of an Ancient Highgod; Shi Sheng couldn’t actually land a hit on him.

‘Gotta think of something.’

Shi Sheng swiftly filtered through all of her possessions in her mind. She finally took out an object that had the appearance of an ordinary fishing net and tossed it into the air. The once normal-looking net suddenly glowed a bright gold, growing bigger and bigger before plunging towards Zi Huan and Yue Yao.

Zi Huan effortlessly flung a spell at the net, piercing through it and causing some golden dust to be scattered around.

The hole caused by the spell rapidly widened as if being corroded by a strong acid. The net soon dissolved into a shower of gold dust that gently fell on them from above.

Zi Huan was wondering why this weapon was so fragile when he caught sight of his opponent casting an arrogant look at him right before the gold dust separated them like a curtain, blurring her figure.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

He lowered his head to find that countless specks of gold dust had landed on him and were beginning to slowly fuse into his body.

‘These things…’

He tried to pat them off, but the more he did so, the faster they fused with him.

“Don’t waste your energy; those lil fellas are alive.” Shi Sheng’s expression turned even more arrogant seeing his struggle. “They’ll reproduce endlessly, treating your body like a shell. Of course, they won’t kill you. You’re a god after all.”
