On the contrary, he rather enjoyed the process.
It was just a little hard to breathe!
After that, Hestia finally calmed down as well.
Letting go of Ling Xuan, a flush appeared on Hestia's face.
Only then did she realize just how bold her actions had been.
"Crap... Don't tell me that made this child think I'm some frivolous goddess..."
At that moment, Hestia suddenly worried that her image in Ling Xuan's eyes had been affected.
Just as she was feeling uneasy, Ling Xuan's voice rang out.
"By the way, I'm quite satisfied with what I gained from this trip to the Dungeon. I should give some of it to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Xuan handed a portion of the Fali he had earned to Hestia.
After all, he knew full well that Hestia had always been working outside.
That would not do. Now that he had money to spare.
Making his own goddess go out and work would be rather beneath him.
If others saw it, they might think Ling Xuan could not afford to support his own deity!
So, with another wave of his hand, several hundred thousand Fali immediately appeared in the room!
"With this, you won't have to go work anymore, right?"
Seeing the Fali before her, Hestia's eyes immediately lit up.
"Ling Xuan, you're amazing... You actually have so much Fali!!"
At that moment, Hestia finally felt the joy of having a Familia.
She had always relied on part-time work to get by before. This amount of Fali would have taken her a long time to earn through work!
Is this the benefit of having a Familia?
For a moment, Hestia's eyes sparkled brightly.
Even so, she did not intend to spend this money on herself.
After all, she remembered that Ling Xuan seemed not to have a weapon that suited him.
"Ling Xuan, what kind of weapon do you prefer?"
Hearing her question, Ling Xuan froze slightly.
He quickly understood.
Was she planning to choose a weapon for him just like in the original story!?
But he did not need one. Heavenly Fire Judgement was enough for the time being.
Besides, with the system, he might acquire even more powerful weapons later on.
There was no need to make his goddess humble herself and beg Hephaestus to forge one, and he had given her this money precisely so Hestia would not have to work outside anymore.
If she went to ask Hephaestus to forge a weapon, she would probably have to go back to work afterward.
Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
So Ling Xuan shook his head.
"As for weapons, I already have one that works well for me for now."
What nonsense. Having the Goddess of Forging make a weapon started at hundreds of millions.
If Hestia had to shoulder such a huge debt, she would be working until the end of time.
That was hardly worth it...
Besides, with the system, his future held limitless possibilities!
The Brat I, Freya, Have Set My Sights On
Early the next morning.
"...Mm."
At the Hestia Familia's base, in the church's hidden room.
Before Ling Xuan had even opened his eyes, he felt an inexplicable weight on top of him besides the blanket.
He could not help sighing again.
Hestia had climbed into his bed again.
That was right, at that very moment.
Hestia had buried her face in Ling Xuan's chest and was sleeping soundly.
Hestia's twin peaks gave a faint squishing sound as those overwhelmingly massive orbs flattened against Ling Xuan's body.
Ling Xuan could only helplessly pick Hestia up, then thoughtfully cover her with the blanket.
It was not that he did not want to linger in the warmth a little longer. The main thing was that he had a mission today.
He planned to head to the Dungeon again and grind some levels...!
With that thought, Ling Xuan immediately stepped out the door and silently left the room.
"...That idiot Ling Xuan. Mmm."
After leaving the room, Ling Xuan was clearly in a very good mood.
He had received such a huge benefit from Hestia first thing in the morning.
How could he not show off something like this?
Thinking that, he remembered the Chat Group from before.
He had not chatted in the group at all yet!
He immediately entered the group...
Ling Xuan: Guys, every day when I wake up, there's a girl lying on my chest. She sneaks into my bed every night, and it's ruining my sleep. What should I do? Waiting online, urgent! Izayoi Sakamaki: ???? A goddess sneaking into your bed? Why doesn't the Black Rabbit in my house do that, even though she isn't a goddess? Bronya: A goddess... You haven't woken up yet, have you? Aizen: ...Hmm, you're bragging, aren't you? You're absolutely bragging! Bronya: To be fair, yes. It looks like you're asking for help on the surface, but I can sense the bragging. Izayoi Sakamaki: Looks like your world, like mine, has beings such as gods too? Aizen: Your worlds actually have gods? Then you must be incredibly powerful as well. Ah, I'm suddenly rather curious!
In the Honkai World, Elysia curiously watched the group chat.
When she had first joined the group, it had been rather quiet.
She had not expected one person's words to break that silence this morning.
For a moment, the entire group became lively.
As everyone discussed it, Elysia became intensely curious about both of their worlds.
But after seeing that Ling Xuan had not said anything else after sending that message.
Elysia could only temporarily set aside her curiosity.
Still, she believed this group chat would definitely see many interesting things in the future!
Watching the group chat buzz with discussion, Ling Xuan closed it.
Then, in high spirits, he set off toward the Dungeon.
As Ling Xuan headed toward the Dungeon, memories from his previous life rapidly surfaced in his mind.
"Let me think. The monsters in the Dungeon from my previous life... Jack the Ripper Bird is a monster from the First Floor."
It was a rare monster that resembled a rooster covered in fluffy yellow-green feathers. Although it was not aggressive, it was unbelievably fast and would flee the moment it sensed an enemy.
There was no doubt that this monster was the best for grinding agility skills.
"There are also War Shadows and Killer Ants..."
War Shadow was a black humanoid monster with long arms and three sharp claws.
It was the strongest monster on the Sixth Floor. Together with Killer Ants, it was known as a "Rookie Killer" because it had killed many novice adventurers.
Killer Ants, meanwhile, were red ant monsters with four legs and two arms.
They had hard shells, high attack power, and used pheromones to summon their companions in critical moments.
Together with War Shadows, they were known as "Rookie Killers" because they had killed many novice adventurers.
Ling Xuan quickly decided on today's target.
"Today, I can probably reach the Sixth Floor at most, so I'll grind more Killer Ants and War Shadows... Let's see if these old bastards can drop some loot for me."
Ling Xuan muttered.
That was right. This trip to the Dungeon was not only for grinding Ability Stats.
Having discovered that the Human Chimera skill could grant skills based on monsters, he naturally intended to make good use of it.
"It'd be such a waste not to use such a good skill..."
As he spoke.
Ling Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Monsters, get ready to drop loot for me!
Meanwhile, Freya suddenly noticed.
A white-haired, golden-eyed youth.
The youth was walking over from the other end of the road.
The youth, deep in thought as he walked, suddenly entered her field of vision.
For some reason, though he was merely walking through the city, he unconsciously drew her gaze.
Thump, thump, thump!!!
For some reason, her heart suddenly began pounding rapidly.
"This is..."
As the Goddess of Beauty, she naturally knew exactly what this feeling was...
That youth was human, no matter how she looked at him!?
In other words, she had fallen in love with that youth at first sight!?
Although she did not know why, as a goddess, she could naturally tell that Ling Xuan did not seem particularly powerful.
Yet for some reason, his soul faintly gave off an aura that fascinated even her!
She could not understand why she had fallen in love at first sight, but Freya did not dwell on it. What she was thinking about now was something else.
How to lure this youth into her Familia...
Her silver gaze remained fixed on Ling Xuan...
That burning stare immediately caught Ling Xuan's attention!
This feeling... Someone was watching him!
