You~Dare~Come~At~Me~
It had to be said that Ishtar's descent into the Underworld was truly an embarrassment on the level of the greatest humiliation in life.
At least, that was how it was for her personally.
"You lot are laughing at me here now, but once you have to face the questions at the Seven Gates, let's see how you answer!"
Ishtar strode forward with bitter resentment, making Luo Zhen and Mashu exchange glances and smile faintly before following her.

"I'll go."
He patted Mashu on the shoulder as he spoke.
"But..."
Mashu wanted to object.
