Happy holidays! I was still going strong today, but tomorrow I'll be back to two updates~
The Lips of Foolish Play had remained silent all this time, but Cheng Shi's repeated bombardment finally wore it down, so it could only sigh and say:
"I'm not omniscient and omnipotent like The Great One. How would I know?"
"Then you must know something, right?"
"All I know is that a clown who picked up his life is still a clown.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you died in the Sea of Desire? What would happen to me? What would happen to the tongue? What would happen to the ears?
We don't want to turn into some strange Lips of Fear, Tongue of Joy, and Ears of Pain."
"..."
At the time, Cheng Shi had had no mind to think about such things. He had long since been controlled by desire.
But after regaining his composure and hearing this, he suddenly asked in a strange tone:
"Brother Mouth, Lele'er was an Envoy of Prosperity before becoming the Fear Mother Tree. Since you said you could become something like Her, a Lips of Fear, can I understand that as you tacitly admitting a fact? Namely:
Even though you don't have a title granted by the God of Merriment right now, you're actually already considered Her Envoy?"
"You're wrong." The Lips of Foolish Play responded extremely quickly.
"?"
"The true Envoy is you, Lord Foolish Play.
But judging by your performance today, you won't need to be called Foolish Play by then. You should change your title to Greedy Lord. After all, your connection with the Sea of Desire is nothing but greed."
"..."
He had been mocked again, but this time, it somehow... didn't feel so bad?
Cheng Shi laughed.
