"Bi Ji, if there's nothing concerning you tomorrow, you must all go rack up those step counts, no slacking off, got it?"
Gu Yuena instructed with a serious face.
"Oh."
At that moment, Zi Ji, looking exhausted, walked over and said listlessly, "My lord, could I skip following Bi Ji tomorrow and have the boss come instead? It's really so boring and tiring."
"Don't you know Di Tian has designs on Bi Ji? I'm considering this for your own good."
Zi Ji suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"So, my lord hopes that I could be with the boss?"
Gu Yuena nodded, "Di Tian should indeed marry a pure-blood Dragon King as his wife so that his descendants can perfectly inherit his bloodline. Do you want to see Di Tian end up with a silly goose for an offspring?"
Zi Ji's face suddenly lit up with excitement, her lord's support filled her with instant motivation.
Bi Ji: "My lord despises me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena stepped forward and stroked Bi Ji's head, "Not at all, I'm complimenting you."
"Oh, thank you, my lord."
Gu Yuena: "Mhm, such a good girl."
Bi Ji smiled, her eyes curving with pleasure from Gu Yuena's caress.
"Alright, you may go now."
Zi Ji: "Then, my lord, you..."
She stopped mid-sentence and glanced in the direction of Lin Yi, quickly understanding Gu Yuena's intent, and promptly pulled Bi Ji away from the place, "I wish my lord a happy evening!"
Roll away, why so loud, as if afraid Lin Yi wouldn't hear?! Gu Yuena, like a startled little squirrel, immediately shrank her neck and looked towards Lin Yi's side.
Divine Realm.
Asura God looked to the Life God, "Just wait, Lin Yi isn't finished yet... But why hasn't Gu Yuena left?"
Evil God: "If Gu Yuena has to be here, she'll react to the gods as if she's seen her mortal enemies, definitely bristling with anger. Then what if Lin Yi thinks we've come to fight? If he decides to act, Sister Life probably won't even have the chance to explain."
Destruction frowned, "I'll go with her. If there's a fight, I'll take action."
The Life Goddess glared at her foolish husband, "Is fighting all you have in your head?"
Destruction: "I... I'm just worried about you."
Life ignored him and after pondering for a moment said, "Fine, I'll change into human clothes and temporarily seal my Divine Power. If Lin Yi senses that I'm not at full power, he probably won't think about resorting to violence."
Destruction: "But that's dangerous!"
Asura God nodded as well, "Indeed, dangerous. After all, in that state even Gu Yuena could harm you."
Life sighed and said, "It can't be helped; after all, we're the ones asking for help. When we encounter problems, we solve them. I'll have to adapt on the fly."
"When shall we go?"
"Now. I'll blend into their assault team!"
A tiny speck of gold-green light silently fell into place, and at the back of the long scraping queue, a "human woman" who was too beautiful to appear human quietly joined the ranks.
Gu Yuena, engrossed in tormenting Tang San's relatives, didn't notice this scene.
Just then, Asura God suddenly frowned, "What's happening? Why has someone returned?"
Upon hearing this, the other gods all looked in that direction and saw three "stunningly cold" individuals hiding on the rooftop of a street-side building, silently observing the scene.
And in the room just below the rooftop.
"Achoo!"
"Achoo!"
A couple quietly pulled the quilt tighter around themselves, sneezing non-stop, their noses so cold they were practically freezing.
Evil: "Why have those three come back?"
Sea God: "I have no clue."
Little Medusa quietly turned her head and glanced at the Ice Emperor. She didn't know why her little aunt had followed them here, and now her plan was harder to implement.
She could only continue to act coquettishly.
She raised her hand to grab the Snow Emperor's clothes: "Mommy, I want to be closer to daddy!"
The Snow Emperor shook her head: "No, it's too easy for our body temperature to give us away!"
"Does mommy really think it's such an unforgivable sin if daddy gets discovered by someone?"
Upon hearing this, the Snow Emperor was stunned.
Right, why did we come here to see Senior Lin Yi? Would being discovered warrant the death penalty?
We were just sleeping by the road at the beginning.
Thinking of this, the Snow Emperor took a deep breath and, holding Little Medusa in her arms, she walked towards the attacking stands.
The Ice Emperor was surprised and quickly followed behind. Although she wanted to see how her sister would deal with Little Snow Maiden's unreasonable demands, she had to watch with her own eyes and not let her sister mess things up. 'Pregnancy brain' could actually be real, and it would be a huge loss if they offended Lin Yi.
Gu Yuena ground the 578th of Tang San's Relatives into the ground with her foot, her gaze shifting to the Snow Emperor and the other two, puzzled.
Why are these three returning the way they came?
The Life Goddess, sensing the severe cold behind her, also turned her head to look and immediately frowned.
Three more ferocious beasts... Could it be a trap tonight?!
Did Lin Yi or Gu Yuena worry that we gods would come looking for trouble today, hence setting an ambush in advance?
No, it wasn't Lin Yi. It must be Gu Yuena taking the lead in this. With Lin Yi's strength, there's no need for him to set a trap in advance.
The Life Goddess sighed and held her forehead. She had been careless… If that was the case, it would have been better not to seal the Divine Power. Now Gu Yuena and the others must have detected her presence, which is why they let the other ferocious beasts show themselves—they could eliminate her with the Divine Power sealed without anyone noticing!
What to do, what to do, I should have called for Destruction to come down and help me…
The Life Goddess was burning with anxiety.
So was Destruction from the Divine Realm.
"What are they up to?! My wife is about to get hit by ferocious beasts in a pincer move!"
Asura God: "I didn't expect this to happen either. It seems that Gu Yuena wants revenge today. She clearly already has the power to deal with us, so why set a trap specifically for tonight?"
Evil, stroking his chin, analyzed: "Maybe Gu Yuena just wants to test us. She set up defenses in advance for tonight. If we don't come over, she'll think we've truly realized our mistakes. But if we send someone, she'll take it as us still being upset over the incident during the day. She's looking to catch us in a trap!"
Destruction: "My wife is the bait!"
Evil frowned: "Don't be so hard on your wife…"
Asura God: "We can't go down. If we do, it would only add fuel to the fire. Let's see if the Life Goddess with her Divine Power sealed will let Gu Yuena lower her guard."
Destruction growled: "My wife had better be alright! Otherwise, I'm holding all of you accountable today!"
Sea God, shivering with fear, clung to the arm of the Angel God: "Angel Sister, protect me."
"Off with you!"
The Angel God glanced at him and shook off his arm.
She regretted it too. If only she hadn't joined the crowd, she wouldn't be involved in this mess. Destruction is a madman; he truly is capable of anything for his wife.
The Life Goddess discreetly watched Gu Yuena and the Snow Emperor with the corner of her eye. She noticed all four of them were looking in her direction!
It really is a trap set for me!
What to do, the only one who can save me now is probably Lin Yi...
ps. Three updates today, don't you guys want to reward me a bit? If all goes well, I should be able to keep up with three updates tomorrow.
