"We succeeded," Gu Qingshan said.
"Yeah, we succeeded in Bestowing Divinity," Lola said.
The two fell silent.
"Hey, weren't you going to send money to that God of Fighting?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Lola nodded. "Right. His bank account number is—"
"I didn't write it down," Gu Qingshan said.
"I wanted to, but his voice was so nasal I couldn't make it out," Lola said.

Absolute silence.
Lola asked nervously, "...Is he going to come back and beat me to death?"
"I don't think it'll come to that," Gu Qingshan said uncertainly.

"Okay. I guess that's the only thing we can do."
Lola sighed.

She spoke.

"King of the Underworld discovered me. I had to run around with the Gate of Ritual to keep him and his subordinates from interfering with the Ascension Ritual," Shen Xue said.
