A Painful Ruse, Gu Yuena Debates the Goddess of Life
However, he soon paid the price for his arrogance.
The dragon tail that had left such a deep and nightmarish memory on him swept in from the side without warning, as fast as a silver lightning bolt, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air!
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Lin Hai was sent flying into the air by the blow, landing hard on the hard cave wall in a perfect "T" shape before slowly sliding down.
It rolled twice on the ground before finally lying on its back, facing upwards.
But instead of crying out in pain, he seemed to have lost his mind, laughing even more brightly.
But hidden deep within that smile was a hint of cunning, as if a scheme had succeeded.
He secretly bit the tip of his tongue, and a trickle of bright red blood immediately seeped from the corner of his mouth, adding just the right amount of misery.
Go ahead and fight...
This ordeal can't be for nothing; perhaps it will help me get a gentle and considerate maid in the future!
He was secretly making plans in his mind.
Originally, Ah Yin, whom he had the best chance of gaining Flame Water Jade's approval, was unexpectedly paired with Flowing Light Qin.
In his view, the only ones who have a chance of gaining Flame Water Jade's approval are Bi Ji and the Goddess of Life.
His relationship with the Goddess of Life was delicate, and he really didn't know how to tactfully cultivate a closer relationship.
They were afraid that a single misstep might push this gentle god-king to their opposite side.
In this way, the target naturally became Bi Ji.
She had served Gu Yuena for so long and was utterly loyal.
Without Gu Yuena's approval, even if she harbors feelings for him, it would be impossible for anything to happen.
Now that Gu Yuena has made a furious move, he can conveniently take advantage of the situation.
When Gu Yuena saw the glaring bright red stain that spilled from the corner of Lin Hai's mouth, her heart felt as if it had been gripped by an invisible hand, and a clear, sharp pain shot through her.
But seeing that Lin Hai could still laugh, that inexplicable feeling of resentment surged up again, making her unable to bring herself to ask him.
However, after this outburst, her boiling dragon blood calmed down a bit, and her rationality gradually returned.
After calming down and thinking it over, she also felt that there was probably more to the story.
Based on her understanding of Lin Hai's character, he was definitely not the kind of despicable person who would collude with the Divine Realm and betray his companions.
Having spent the past four years together, Lin Hai's heartfelt affection for her was palpable.
Moreover, if Lin Hai truly chose to stand on the side of the Divine Realm, why bother sending that Soft Bone Rabbit to deliver a warning in the first place?
If the two great god-kings were truly in league with him, they would probably have already taken Thunder action; they wouldn't have allowed her to vent her emotions here.
Thinking about all this, she already felt a bit of regret.
With a flash of silver light, the enormous dragon body rapidly shrank and transformed, reverting to the stunningly beautiful humanoid girl with silver hair and purple eyes.
She turned around abruptly, as if in a fit of pique, her back to Lin Hai, presenting him with only a cool and elegant silhouette, and spoke in a harsh tone:
"Speak! If you can't give me a proper explanation, I... I will not let you off easily!"
However, the last syllable of her voice lacked some of its murderous intent and instead carried a hint of girlish coquettishness.
Seeing that Gu Yuena had stopped and transformed into human form, Lin Hai felt a little disappointed.
This Little Dragon Cub's temper flares up quickly, but it also subsides just as fast!
The effectiveness of this "self-inflicted injury" ruse is likely to be somewhat diminished.
However, once a blow has been dealt with, even if it was just a single strike, it's enough for him to use it as an excuse to make a fuss.
He pretended to struggle, supporting himself with his hands as he shakily stood up, and even symbolically patted off non-existent dust from his robes.
His face then promptly adopted a forlorn, aggrieved, and somewhat disheartened expression, and he let out a long sigh.
"Sigh... never mind. Let them explain some things to you."
At the same time, his mind raced, and he quickly transmitted his thoughts to the Goodness Goddess and the Goddess of Life within his dantian:
"My two dear sisters, my future happiness depends entirely on your clever tongues!"
'Goddess only talks, please, please, please, please let them fight!'
Without waiting for a clear response from the two goddesses, Lin Hai channeled his energy and directly pulled them out of his Dantian Small World.
He then sighed deeply again, his steps heavy, and staggered out of the cave, leaving the three women alone.
"It's you—!" Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on the two goddesses before her, her tone filled with an indescribable complexity.
Among the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, Asura and Destruction were the two she hated the most.
Before the war, their attitude towards the Soul Beast Clan was the coldest and harshest.
In that great battle, they also killed the most dragons and other beast gods.
The Goodness Goddess and Goddess of Life, on the other hand, are among the few in the Divine Realm who genuinely promote peaceful coexistence between the two sides.
