She Became a Jungle Leopard

Hong Lin saw Cheng Shi, and a bright smile appeared on her face the moment she saw Cheng Shi.

She waved away the Fungus-Footed People, telling them to wait where they were, then her smile vanished, and she walked towards him with a complex expression. When she reached Cheng Shi, she sighed with deep emotion:

"I never imagined that Destiny would take such a turn."

Cheng Shi smiled as he sized up his warrior friend, who was recognized by the Covenant as one of the heirs of Prosperity, and suddenly grinned mischievously.

"Is this still the daring and aggressive Druid I know?"

Why have you become so sentimental?

"Bullshit, this is just a sentiment!" Hong Lin laughed again, shaking her head and chuckling as she reached into her spatial storage and retrieved the Dice bestowed by [Destiny].

Looking at the 24-sided Dice in her hand, Cheng Shi enviously pulled out his own Dice, which had 6 sides.

But regardless of the number of sides, when the two people present placed the Dice side by side, they suddenly whispered in perfect unison, as if by telepathy:

"The path we take and the path we take are all predetermined."

Seeing Hong Lin's increasingly devout expression, Cheng Shi's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself that he had completely fooled the Big Cat.

Of course, the credit for this goes to her Lord of Grace, Destiny, who was the one who made Hong Lin believe that there truly was the Fated organization in this world.

However, to be fair, since Hong Lin has obtained the Dice, what about the one in her bag...?

He peeked into his personal space and found that the Dice of Destiny had opened up the second Faith was still lying quietly in his personal space, never taken back by his Lord of Grace.

So...

Has my identity as the Fated been officially recognized?

Does He want to use this Dice to fool others?

Cheng Shi chuckled and recalled the phrase from [Deception]: He is better at deceiving than I am.

Now it seems that he doesn't know if Destiny is more likely to deceive people, but it does seem to like to deceive people, or to be precise, it likes to fool people.

Seeing Cheng Shi laugh, Hong Lin raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny? Tell me about it."

Cheng Shi was taken aback and shook his head. "It's nothing. The Trials is over, and I should go now. But before I leave, there's something I want to give you."

As he spoke, he took out two branches, one large and one small, right in front of Hong Lin.

One is robust and full of Vitality, while the other is tender yet overflowing with prosperity.

Hong Lin only recognized her own Newborn's Baptism; as for the other one, although she didn't recognize it, she could guess what it was.

Sensing the boundless power of prosperity emanating from it, Hong Lin's pupils constricted, her gaze sharpened, and she exclaimed in disbelief in a low voice:

"This is His... Divine Authority!!??"

She suddenly looked up at Cheng Shi, her eyes revealing unconcealed shock.

"Where did you get the Divine Authority 'prosperity'?"

Cheng Shi shrugged and stuffed both branches into the bewildered Hong Lin's hands.

"He gave it to me."

He dared not say that it was given by [Deception], and could only vaguely say the word "He", letting Hong Lin fill in the blanks herself. But he knew that even if Hong Lin filled in the blanks, she would only imagine "He" as [Destiny].

However, all of this should have been expected by [Deception], who doesn't care about these things and might even find them amusing.

Because this is the God of Merriment, who probably doesn't like anything but fun.

"You..."

"You still say you haven't become more sentimental? What are you doing? Why don't you want it?"

Hong Lin stared blankly into Cheng Shi's eyes, then suddenly laughed, "Yes, what I want to say is, do you have any other Divine Authority? You can give them to me as well, I want them all."

"..."

Dream on.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes, and then, with a hint of annoyance, pulled out another item from his personal storage space...

A tongue.

He pinched the Tongue of Lies, looked at Hong Lin whose body stiffened, and chuckled:

"Don't think this is over. My Tongue Brother said that even if you become the [Prosperity] Emissary, you still have to finish that unfinished game."

"Tell me the truth, or... a slap across the face?"

The Tongue of Lies was still wriggling in Cheng Shi's hand, but after he finished speaking, it suddenly burped and lazily stopped moving.

Hong Lin wasn't stupid. Seeing that the Tongue of Lies had absolutely no interest in her, she chuckled and turned to Cheng Shi, saying:

"Go ahead and ask me the truth."

You said it yourself!

Cheng Shi laughed, and he blurted out the exact same question that Hong Lin had once asked:

"How did you get tricked by Zhen Yi?"

Although Hong Lin had expected it, her face still darkened when she heard the name.

Really!

She nodded irritably, gritting her teeth as she said:

"Alright, alright, you want to know, right? I'll tell you, but you swear you won't tell anyone else."

Cheng Shi nodded vigorously. "That's impossible, just tell me."

"She..." Hong Lin's eyes flashed with embarrassment and anger, and she clenched her fist, saying, "She turned into a Jungle Leopard ..."

"?" Cheng Shi was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Hong Lin glared at him resentfully, refusing to say another word, while the Tongue of Lies remained unresponsive, leaving Cheng Shi even more bewildered.

Seeing that he was still pondering, Hong Lin gritted her teeth and laughed, cursing:

"The Trials is over. Are you planning to stay here until dusk tomorrow, waiting for the game to automatically teleport you out?"

Cheng Shi snapped out of his daze, and although there was still doubt in his eyes, he nodded seriously and said:

"Let's go, it's time to go."

But I'm curious, after becoming Emissary, will you still participate in their Trials like we did?

Hong Lin frowned, pondering as she chose her words:

"His guidance was too vague; everything will only be answered once I leave this Trials."

Speaking of which, I'd like to ask you, shouldn't such a large organization the Fated have some means of communication or meeting?

Why didn't you tell me this all this time?

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"..."

Sister, if both of your organizations can be considered large, then I have indeed kept a lot of things from you...

Sure enough, the loophole in one lie requires countless more lies to cover it up.

Fortunately, I know a little about lying and am not afraid of such trivial situations.

Cheng Shi scoffed dismissively, then curled his lip and said:

"Don't forget who we are under. When you need to see me, Destiny will bring us together, and so will I."

Hong Lin nodded thoughtfully, her eyes gleaming with fervent light.

This is Destiny, a crazy and fascinating Destiny.

Seeing Hong Lin's increasingly distorted expression, Cheng Shi quietly swallowed.

He tightly covered his Tongue of Lies with his hands behind his back, preventing it from burping again.

Sigh, it's best to keep that tongue out less often in the future, otherwise it'll give you away easily.

Putting aside the concept of "Truth," the bald man is probably the last remaining "bloodline" of "prosperity," and with this last remaining "bloodline," he has been fooled into believing in "Destiny."

I have to say, Destiny... it's quite interesting.

"Alright, that's all I have to say, bald guy. Hope we meet again someday."

"Wait, aren't you curious about what I inherited from [Prosperity]?"

Of course I was curious. If my Lord of Grace hadn't already told me, I would have been dying of curiosity.

But now, well, the mysterious the Fated never cares about external things.

Cheng Shi chuckled and touched his nose, "What's there to be curious about? Everyone has their own destiny. Goodbye, don't bother seeing me off."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi waved his hand and took a step back.

He wasn't performing a farewell ceremony; he was simply following his heart, wanting to end this Trials as Believer in "Destiny," and to write a perfect ending to this Change Destiny.

So he quietly touched the shadow with his hands behind his back, and then left the Trials.

The moment he left the Trials and saw the settlement information, he realized what the so-called "Proxy on behalf of the [Prosperity] Trials" really meant.
