I Have to Start Over

"Third Brother, is there anywhere else around here where I can walk about freely?"

Lin Yi always felt a bit strange staying within the Sea God's domain. Furthermore, after purchasing his first soul ring, he was now penniless. He had to do something to resolve this humiliating sense of destitution.

With that in mind, he immediately set his sights on Tang San.

As a God King, Tang San surely knew the God Realm like the back of his hand. Getting him to point out a path would be a piece of cake.

Tang San pondered for a moment, assuming Lin Yi wished to cultivate in solitude, and smiled indifferently.

"Lin Yi, if you wish to pursue deeper cultivation, it is not impossible. Aside from the God of Destruction, who does not see eye-to-eye with me, the holders of the domains of the Goddess of Life, the God of Emotion, the God of Justice, and the God of Darkness are quite reasonable. If you aren't afraid of being taught a harsh lesson by them, you could try your luck over there."

"Can I work for them?"

Tang San was somewhat stunned.

"W-work? You have already become a god; why would you need to work?"

"Hehe, I just want to experience life a little."

Lin Yi gave a guilty smile and shrugged.

"Third Brother, just tell me where I can earn some money."

"Earning money is easy, but you must understand that every one of them has a temper. To gain their recognition, you will need your own effort. As for me, I can only watch from the sidelines; I cannot intervene, or I would upset the balance of the God Realm."

"Alright then!"

Lin Yi nodded. "Since that's the case, I'll head off first—"

"I haven't given you the map yet; where do you intend to run off to?"

Tang San couldn't help but smile as he looked at Lin Yi's reckless demeanor.

"It seems you have the ability, but your head isn't quite sharp enough. Wait a moment; I will give you the maps for every location in the God Realm."

"Then many thanks, Third Brother."

After obtaining the maps to those various locations, Lin Yi chose to head toward the God of Emotion's domain first.

According to his understanding, the current God of Emotion was none other than Tang San's son-in-law, Huo Yuhao. Moreover, both he and Tang Wutong were relatively easy to talk to. If he could strike up a rapport, perhaps he could earn money even faster!

Action followed thought. Lin Yi immediately followed the coordinates on the map and rushed toward the domain of the God of Emotion.

At this moment, inside the divine residence, Tang Wutong was acting spoiled toward Huo Yuhao.

"Hubby, please order some takeout for me. I really love eating that roast duck."

Huo Yuhao looked hesitant. "Wife, you've ordered takeout N times this month already. Why don't you just eat your husband's grilled fish for once?"

"Then, then catch a fish for me first. If you can do it in one second—"

"Fish coming right up!"

Lin Yi's sudden appearance made Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong tense up instantly, and they simultaneously released their power.

"Don't misunderstand!"

Seeing their reaction, Lin Yi immediately waved his hands.

"I am not your enemy. I was recommended by Third Brother to come here and work. I just heard this beautiful lady say she wanted takeout, but that's actually unnecessary trouble. If you are willing to pay me a wage, I can make you different, delicious meals every day—and I can make every single dish available on those takeout menus."

"Recommended by Dad?"

Tang Wutong frowned slightly. She took two steps forward, scrutinized Lin Yi for a moment, and then pursed her lips into a smile.

"Kid, not bad. You're already a level 137 War Soul Venerable, and you even possess the rare Supreme Dragon God Soul Ring. For that alone, you can stay!"

"Wife, isn't it a bit dangerous to suddenly take in someone of unknown origin?"

"Hmm?"

Tang Wutong slanted a glance at Huo Yuhao and put her hands on her hips.

"Are you itching for a beating again, Huo Yuhao?"

"No!"

Tang Wutong watched Huo Yuhao's nervous expression and secretly chuckled.

"Alright, it's not like I haven't considered the consequences. But since he was recommended by Dad, I'm sure he has some extraordinary qualities. So, why don't we observe him for a while? We might even discover something else."

"Ahem."

Lin Yi coughed in embarrassment.

"So, two First-Class Gods, may I ask if we can start discussing the matter of my wages?"

"Wages are negotiable, but I need to see what kind of food you can actually make. Also..."

Tang Wutong's gaze suddenly darkened, and she instantly brandished the Golden Dragon Spear.

Lin Yi's expression sank, and he activated his Dragon God Martial Soul, prioritizing defense.

He knew in his heart that regardless of whether Tang Wutong believed his identity, she would not kill the innocent indiscriminately. Therefore, defense was the best move to lead with.

"You really are a smart one."

Tang Wutong retracted the Golden Dragon Spear and smiled indifferently.

"Let's get this straight: your takeout is delicious, so your salary is doubled. As for the specific amount, I'll pay you according to the standard rates online. If you want to earn more, just cook more. Besides, I don't gain weight anyway, hee hee!"

Damn, people who don't gain weight these days really have the capital to be arrogant!

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, but in order to earn back his Golden Soul Coins, he had no choice but to play the role of a chef.

"Thank you, First-Class God."

"Remember, my name is Tang Wutong, I am the Butterfly God, and my husband is the God of Emotion, Huo Yuhao. With us here, you can work with peace of mind!"
