Being a God Isn't That Easy

Sakura felt a little embarrassed by her own words, but she managed to finish them. Under her terrifying aura, no one around her suspected anything.

"This, this is my honor." Yae Guuji bowed even lower.

Liu Bai changed his posture and floated over to glance at the guy's expression.

The excitement in his eyes was obvious.

Tsk, so the trembling in his voice was because he was scared.

Liu Bai waved his hand, and Ying immediately understood. "Alright, you may leave now. From now on, you are not allowed to enter the shrine unless there is a reason."

"... Yes, as you command."

The middle-aged man seemed to want to say something more, but under Sakura's pressure, he could only choose to take his leave.

After the group left the shrine and Liu Bai made sure everyone was gone, Sakura transformed back into human form and hurriedly changed her clothes from the backpack on the ground.

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief after getting dressed.

"Fox God... I never thought I'd be called a god one day... It feels so strange."

"Ah, then please be a little more understanding of me." Liu Bai felt that he was the one who was most mentally exhausted, and that the other person was nothing compared to him.

"No, I don't see what's wrong with the Lord God being a big-breasted nun at all," Sakura rarely complained.

"I'm having trouble with the one with the flat chest."

"Eh? More than one?" Sakura looked surprised. "You're looking for someone else outside, Master?"

"..." This left Liu Bai speechless. "Yes, I looked for someone, or rather, I looked for someone again. What's wrong?"

Scumbag's remarks

But it is also honesty in a certain sense...

"Um... it's nothing. Anyway, I don't think it's my place to rush into this kind of thing."

Sakura thought for a moment, and realized that if anything was urgent, it was Mobius and Mei who should be in a hurry.

Besides, it's just looking for someone, right? What's so surprising about that? For Eden and Mobius, they're the ones being looked for too.

It would be strange if no one came to the head of the household.

"Anyway, I... never mind, it's nothing."

Sakura really wanted to say that all she needed to do was come to my place for the night once a week, but when the words came out, she couldn't bring herself to say them.

"Speaking of which, what do you need that girl for, sir? Has she been corrupted by Dr. Mobius?"

In order to prevent Liu Bai from investigating further, Ying decisively changed the subject.

"Ah, no, I'm not Mobius, I don't have any morals and I like to kidnap people's daughters to play with."

"Oh. That's..."

"To be used as a child bride." Liu Bai rolled her eyes.

"... Ahem, I was just joking." Sakura couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. There's nothing embarrassing about saying something and being teased about it. What's embarrassing is having your inner thoughts read and then being teased about them.

"Alright, I know what kind of situation I'm in right now, you don't need to complain."

The thought of having to go back to face Eden after the simulation made Liu Bai feel really bad.

"As for why I need people... go and see for yourself, those two little girls should be hiding."

Liu Bai was eager to see how Sakura would react when she saw the Yae sisters.

"Cough cough..."

"Rin, keep your voice down..."

Inside the wardrobe, the petite Yae Sakura released her younger sister's mouth with a worried expression.

Her younger sister was too weak, and even though she knew the best thing to do was to keep quiet, she couldn't bear to keep covering her sister's mouth.

"The sounds outside seem to have stopped. Did Father win, or... did the monster win?"

Will I and Rin be eaten?

Legend has it that monsters love to eat children.

What will happen between me and Rin...?

Although Yae Sakura young, her experience of taking care of her younger sister has made her much more mature than her peers.

Yae Sakura slightly pushed open the wardrobe door a crack.

Outside, all was calm and quiet.

Should we take a gamble? Bet that it's all over outside? That my father didn't come looking for me just for some other reason?

—In some respects, Yae Sakura's guess was quite accurate.

After much deliberation, Yae Sakura finally decided to take the plunge. There hadn't been any screams outside from beginning to end; if she went out herself...

Squeak—!

Yae Sakura was about to push the door open, the wardrobe door opened by itself.

Two pink-haired animals, one large and one small, silently gazed at each other.

"Monster... monster?"

"..."

Is this... myself?

To outsiders, Sakura might just look slightly like Yae Sakura, but Sakura herself knows that she looked exactly like the little girl in front of her when she was a child!

"... Husband, what's going on?"

Sakura, disregarding Liu Bai's presence, asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"That's the coincidence between Previous Era and current civilization."

"..."

That makes sense. The terrain here is exactly the same as that of the Previous Era, so it's not so hard to accept that there's someone like myself here.

"Cough cough...!"

Rin's coughing became rapid, seemingly due to being startled.

"Your sister?" Sakura looked at the girl who looked exactly like her when she was a child and the child in her arms who was about the same age, and her eyes softened considerably.

"Yes... what do you want to do?" Yae Sakura tried her best to protect her younger sister.

"Are you twins?"

Sakura's gaze softened even more as she watched Yae Sakura's protective behavior.

"...yes."

"It's different." Sakura smiled and reached out to touch Yae Rin's head.

Seeing Sakura's actions, Yae Sakura trembled and quickly shielded Rin behind her.

"Don't touch my sister! Anything else... anything else is fine!"

"... Don't be too nervous, I mean no harm." Sakura sighed and stepped aside. "What's your name? And where's your sister?"

"Sakura, Yae Sakura ... This is my younger sister, Rin."

"Sakura... What a coincidence, I'm also named Sakura, but we're different. My younger sister is named Rin, and she's a few years younger than me."

At this moment, Rin started coughing again.

"Your sister is not in good health?"

"...yes."

Looking at the gentle older sister in front of her, Yae Sakura couldn't help but lower her guard a little.

"I see. Now that you mention it, Ling wasn't very healthy when she was little. Was there any treatment?"

"Yes, but... many doctors are helpless." Yae Sakura bit her lip as she spoke. "But one day I will leave this place and take Rin to find the best doctor!"

Sakura remained silent upon hearing this, given the level of medical care in this era...

"The main problem is congenital deficiency. As for the lung disease... it's not serious. It's probably tuberculosis, a minor issue."

Liu Bai glanced at the girl a few times and came to a conclusion, which he then stated directly in the public channel.

"Honey, do you have a solution?"

"Who? Who's speaking?"

Sakura looked delighted, Yae Sakura looked surprised and wary.

"Yes, none of them are serious problems. It's just minor tuberculosis. I'll take good care of myself and supplement my diet. I'll find some time to apply some antibiotics. If it's a congenital deficiency, well, actually it's still because I can't eat well. I'll eat something better. If all else fails, I'll prescribe a milder Diyega. Although it's a folk remedy, it works."

When Otto was a child, she was also weak and sickly. Although she was not well received at home, she was still the family's daughter, so Otto ate a lot of things like Diyega. Moreover, this thing was a kind of "panacea". Well, the formula and the diseases it cured were almost the same.

The one Liu Bai had was the kind mixed with poisonous snake meat.

Although Yae Sakura was stunned by what she heard, it didn't stop her from realizing that her sister could be saved.

"Can... can you really save Rin?"

"If the head of the household says it can be saved, then it can be saved."

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Previous Era, there was nothing that could be done when her own sister was in trouble. But if in the current civilization she had to watch a little girl who looked exactly like her sister die, Ying estimated that her Dao heart would collapse.

"Alright, you guys come out now, don't stay in the closet."

"...Um."

Yae Sakura nodded, came out of the wardrobe first, and then helped Rin out.

"Um... Sakura... Sister, where is my father?"

"He sold you to me, the Fox God."

Sakura pointed to the ears on the top of her head.

"Fox... God?"

Ah... are those fox ears?

Yae Sakura secretly rejoiced, thankful that she hadn't mentioned her ears earlier.

"Hmm, Fox, should we go and confirm this with your father?"

"... No, no need."

To be honest, Yae Sakura has absolutely no good feelings towards her father. If she hadn't just experienced Sakura's gentleness, Yae Sakura would have no good feelings towards the gods at all.

It's said that the father is clumsy and doesn't know how to take care of children, but how can someone not even know how to brew medicine or feed it to a child? From the time Yae Sakura can remember, she has been taking care of her younger sister herself.

My sister's illness has reached this level, which may well be related to her childhood.

Yae Sakura is only unwilling to admit it because of blood ties... Her own sister may have already been abandoned by her father.

"... That's the kind of thing that person would do."

Chapter 531 Being a god isn't so easy.

"This means... the father and daughter don't get along?" Sakura seemed to understand something as she looked at Yae Sakura's attitude.

"Obviously."

Liu Bai shrugged.

Do you really think the Yae family can't support a sick girl? Although the Yae family isn't even worthy of carrying shoes for the Schicksal, they are still a small wealthy family as the head of a village.

They had money to buy medicine to keep Rin alive, but not enough to find someone to take care of her when she was a child.

That's bullshit.

Yae Sakura probably realized this as well.

"Sigh..." Sakura patted Yae Sakura's head. "In that case, you can come with me from now on."
