Chapter 32: The God of War Appears

"Compared to some meaningless ritual, something more tangible was obviously more important, wasn't it?"

Having apparently found a way to do some loving things without violating either agreement, Raphael's lips curled slightly upward.

Chapter 32: The God of War Appears

Early the next morning, Li Zihan woke up early.

After yawning, he shook his head slightly, and his mind instantly cleared.

The events of last night wove themselves into memories and surged in like a tide as his mind awakened. He could still feel a small, soft body lying atop his chest, its gentle, steady breaths slowly tapping against his heart as though making it beat along with them.

That feeling filled someone with immense satisfaction.

He lifted a corner of the blanket and, as expected, found the golden-haired goddess lying naked atop him like a little kitten, her lovely crimson face carrying a weariness that made one's heart ache.

If he lifted the blanket any further, her unconsciously trembling, dainty jade feet, her round ankles with faint white marks, and her long calves would all be exposed to the air. Her smooth, youthful, elastic skin was covered in kiss marks and bite marks.

"Seems like we got a little carried away," Li Zihan muttered.

Apparently disturbed by his movements, Ereshkigal, who had barely slept at all last night, opened her eyes in exhaustion and looked beside her.

"Not going to sleep a little longer?"

The young man, whose constitution was clearly exceptionally good, smiled and lowered his head, pressing his lips to the goddess's delicate ones.

Feeling that aggressive aura, the goddess, who had received a good-morning kiss upon waking, flushed enticingly. Even her body temperature rose.

"...Shouldn't I be asking you that? You clearly woke up before I did."
