Water God

The Water God was very fond of the Goddess of Beauty.

The Goddess of Beauty is truly beautiful.

You may question his Divine Core, you may criticize his character, but you must not question his beauty.

As for why he fell in love with the Goddess of Beauty?

It all stemmed from that one glance that lasted an eternity.

Once upon a time, the Sea God was not like he is now.

The fate of the Water God is beyond the control of any deity.

After all, no one would dare to face a bunch of lower-level gods.

It's like the relationship between a boss and an employee.

No matter how foolish the boss may seem, employees have absolutely no right to interfere with his choices.

At that time, the Water God's favorite thing to do was probably to fight the God of Fire.

There was always a contest between them that dragged on for a long time without a clear winner.

God of Fire always says, "We'll fight next time!"

The Water God remembered it.

So whenever he had free time, he would excitedly run to find the God of Fire, and start fighting as soon as they met.

At that time, God of Fire had not yet met God of Wine.

Although I found the Water God's arrivals inexplicable, annoying, and disruptive, after a while, I realized that having a god to pass the time wasn't so bad.

This fight turned the two gods into mortal enemies.

99999th of the 99th month of the Divine Calendar.

A day that the Water God has remembered for countless years.

That day, as usual, he went to see the God of Fire.

As the Water God flew, he saw a god sitting sideways on a Flowing Cloud in front of him, holding a flower in his hand and tilting his head slightly to tuck the flower into his hair.

Her fingertips were gleaming white, her flower branches were vibrant, and her profile was like a painting.

The world seemed to lose its color in that instant, leaving only that one figure, which fell into his eyes and was imprinted on his heart.

The Water God froze in mid-air, forgetting even to breathe.

The wind blew past his ears, the clouds swept past his feet, but he felt nothing.

My heart and eyes were filled with nothing but that one breathtaking moment.

Later, when the God of Fire saw that he hadn't arrived for a long time, he came looking for him personally and blasted a Shengsheng down on him, which snapped him out of his daze.

That day, the God of Fire mocked him mercilessly, for he couldn't even dodge one of his own fireballs.

In the past, the Water God might have already started fighting with the God of Fire, but that day the Water God didn't listen to a word. He returned to the Water God Temple in a daze and locked himself in.

He raised his hand and pressed it to his chest.

There, the lingering fear of that moment still remains.

Later, the Water God learned who that god was.

--God of Goddess of Beauty.

In the Divine Realm, it is the most captivating existence.

The Water God frequently visited the Goddess of Beauty.

Strangely enough, there always seemed to be a slight gap between him and the Goddess of Beauty. Sometimes he would catch a glimpse of her from afar, but it was only a blurry silhouette or a glimpse of her clothes fluttering in the wind.

They couldn't even exchange a single word.

Even so, the Water God never gave up and went again and again, only to be disappointed each time.

He was like someone chasing after moonlight that would never fall on him.

Such days went on for a very, very long time.

One day, the Water God prepared to go to the Goddess of Beauty again.

Before he could take more than a few steps, a hand suddenly blocked his way. He looked in that direction and saw long, icy silver hair with a hint of light blue, and a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean.

There is no ugly god in the Divine Realm.

The Water God rarely left any special impression on his subordinate gods.

But the god before me is different.

Because there was always a thin chain hanging down the side of the other person's face.

Every time he saw it, his hands would itch.

--I want to make a call.

Because of this chain, the Water God immediately recognized the other party's identity.

--Sea God.

In my previous impression, the Sea God should be a quiet, gentle, and taciturn deity. His sudden visit today suggests he might want to trouble me with something.

After he asked that question, the facts proved to be exactly as he had imagined.

The Sea God said that he wanted to create his own Creations, but he lacked experience. After much thought, he could only seek an audience with the Water God he admired most, hoping to receive some guidance.

Upon hearing the word "reverence," the Water God felt a subtle sense of relief.

In the past, when he wanted to help other gods, they always declined or simply avoided him. It was as if he couldn't do anything right except fight and cause trouble.

Now that a god has finally come knocking on his door, and so sincerely at that, his little bit of pride is practically bursting out of his chest.

So he readily agreed.

That was also the first time the Water God didn't go to the Goddess of Beauty.

Later, the Sea God came several more times.

Sometimes it's to consult the Creation, sometimes it's to bring some snacks and chat with Him...

Later, they gradually became familiar with each other, like two rivers that originally flowed separately, but somehow ended up converging at one place.

When the Sea God came for the tenth time, he mentioned something.

He stammered, his eyes darting around, and he couldn't speak coherently for a long time. The Water God couldn't bear to watch any longer and pressed him with a combination of urging and intimidation before the Sea God finally spoke in a low voice, as if he had no other choice:

"Lord Water God, could you... shrink so I can feed you?"

The Water God was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He looked up and saw that the Sea God's icy blue eyes seemed to have been lit up by something, faintly glowing.

In the past, the Sea God often smiled, with a gentle and warm smile.

But this time, there seemed to be something more to that smile.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed, but the Water God really liked that look in her eyes.

He agreed so readily.

The Water God shrank as instructed and sat on the Sea God's lap. But soon he noticed that the person behind him was trembling.

He turned his head, somewhat curiously. "Sea God, what's wrong?"

Sea God remained silent for a long time before speaking softly:

"Lord Water God, I... I'm just... incredulous."

His voice sounded like it was suppressing some emotion.

"I didn't expect you would actually let me hold you."

That day, the Water God was fed many, many pastries.

One piece after another, sweet but not cloying, melting in your mouth.

The Sea God was extremely patient, sometimes gently asking, "Do you like this flavor?" and sometimes wiping away the crumbs from the corners of his lips with a handkerchief.

The Water God was pampered to the point of ecstasy, nestled in the other's arms, not wanting to move a single finger. It was from that day on that he belatedly realized that the Sea God held him in such high esteem.

Not only did she do everything herself, but she also always looked at him with those bright, sparkling eyes.

The Water God may not have said it, but he was already feeling quite pleased with himself.

Because of the Sea God, the frequency with which he sought out the Goddess of Beauty gradually decreased. Before, he would run out every few days, chasing after that fleeting figure throughout the Universe.

Later, it gradually became a matter of remembering to do it only once every ten days or half a month.

And then it was even longer.

After all, given the choice between running all over the Universe all day and being held in someone's arms, fed pastries, and enjoying a comfortable pat, who wouldn't choose the latter?

However, one day, the Water God was sitting in the Sea God Palace when he suddenly discovered that he had a little belly. It was a soft little lump under his clothes, and it felt quite nice to touch.

But the Water God was on high alert.

He clutched his stomach, pushed away the pastries offered by the Sea God, and said seriously:

"I'm not eating anymore, the Goddess of Beauty won't like it if I keep eating."

The Goddess of Beauty loves beauty.

He wouldn't look good if he had a little belly.

In that case, the Goddess of Beauty would be even less likely to give him a second glance.
