Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 174

The sealing Magecraft that Sajyou Manaka used before hasn't been broken yet.

"Hmph, this is no challenge for this goddess."

Ishtar merely snorted, then rummaged through her clothes for a while before finally pulling out a delicate and captivating emerald.

She gently stroked the smooth surface of the gemstone with her palm with some reluctance, and then tossed it away.

The gemstone instantly turned into powder, scattering like stardust by the window.

Then, a crisp cracking sound rang in my ears, and the Magic Barrier quietly disintegrated.

Ishtar leaned against the window, gazing at the scene inside.

"I'm leaving now, Lan Ze." Irisviel, barefoot but already dressed in her white dress, her face flushed slightly, gazed at Lan Ze with deep affection and spoke softly.

Lan Ze sat on the edge of the bed and hummed in agreement. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he lifted the silver threads wrapped around his hands and said, "Could you untangle these first?"

Irisviel merely glanced at the boy, a surge of pleasure welling up in her beautiful eyes.

She walked barefoot to the bedside, and under Lan Ze's gaze, she crouched down slightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a soft, sweet voice:

"Not yet."

Even though he had just entered saint mode, Irisviel's gentle voice stirred him, and Lan Ze's gaze seemed to be taken away by the woman once again. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and hug her.

But at that moment, Irisviel had already quietly gotten up from the bedside.

"Why don't you untie this thing first..." Lan Ze's bound hands made two grasping motions towards Irisviel's back, watching the door quietly close, and finally he sighed.

It seems I can only rely on my own magic to untangle these Rune Magic- enhanced silver threads.

It might be a bit troublesome, but he could still untangle it if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Lan Ze slightly collected his thoughts and was about to close his eyes.

Just then, he suddenly heard some commotion outside the window. Lan Ze subconsciously looked over and saw that the window, which had been tightly closed, had been quietly pushed open at some point, and Ishtar jumped in from outside.

"I was outside the whole time and saw everything." Ishtar gave a beautiful smile, but for some reason, there was a sense of danger in that smile.

Lan Ze took a sniff and smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance.

He took a closer look and realized that the person was Ishtar. Although Ereshkigal and Ishtar looked similar, their temperaments were completely different.

Ereshkigal is more like a well-behaved girl with a touch of arrogance, while Ishtar has an arrogant attitude of fearlessness.

At this moment, although this Goddess of Heaven was not wearing any makeup, she was even more beautiful than usual. Her pink top reached just to her thighs, highlighting her fair, round, and sexy legs. Her red eyes looked at Lan Ze with the air of an absolute superior.

She truly deserves to be called the Goddess of Heaven; she looks beautiful even with just a little bit of dressing up... Lan Ze couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Then, he calmed himself down.

No, I'm not a pervert. Right now, more important than looking pretty is untangling this silver thread... Lan Ze suppressed his lustful thoughts and said, "Can you help me untangle this?"

He gestured to the silver threads wrapped around his hands.

If Ishtar helps, he won't have to put in any more effort himself. With the Goddess of Heaven's power, breaking the silver threads with external forces shouldn't be difficult.

However--

Ishtar glanced at Lan Ze, a charming smile unconsciously curving her lips, "I can help you untie it, but..."

Under Lan Ze's unwavering gaze, Ishtar said something else.

Then, a brief silence fell over the room.

Seemingly unaccustomed to such silence, Ishtar suddenly strode forward in annoyance and grabbed Lan Ze's shoulder.

"This is a reward from the goddess herself, so be grateful and strive to fulfill your mission!"

Lan Ze remained silent.

It wasn't that he wanted to refuse, but he had only recently entered a state of enlightenment, and continuing to do anything in this state would hardly be enjoyable for him.

However, Ishtar felt her charm had been greatly insulted. Her red eyes fixed on Lan Ze's, she said unhappily, "You think I don't have the charm to attract you?"

"That's not the reason..."

Lan Ze tried to politely decline, saying, "Mother should be back soon."

"They won't be back anytime soon. Merlin is very resilient; he can probably beat him up for another afternoon, so..."

Ishtar didn't continue, but Lan Ze understood the meaning behind her words.

Ishtar meant that she had to be satisfied today.

After a fierce battle, Lan Ze was holding Ishtar's slender waist, fighting intensely, when Lan Ze suddenly felt that the goddess in his arms seemed a little strange.

Ishtar, her eyes half-closed, casually brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and asked lazily, "What's wrong? Is this not enough? Or is it because you were just with Irisviel... that you're tired now?"

At this point, her tone suddenly changed, and she threatened him fiercely:

"If you don't satisfy me, I'll tell my mother right away."

However, Lan Ze remained silent, only looking at the goddess in his arms with suspicion. Her hair clung to her snow-white shoulders, and compared to her usual aloofness, the Goddess of Heaven now possessed a more languid and down-to-earth air.

Lan Ze hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have a feeling something's not quite right..."

Ishtar didn't understand and asked in confusion, "What's not right?"

"That is--"

Just as Lan Ze was about to say something, he suddenly heard Ishtar let out a mournful cry, "Why did you wake up now? I haven't had enough fun yet--!!"

Then, Ishtar's voice suddenly fell silent, and her eyes quietly closed.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes.

She looked around at her surroundings, her eyes filled with confusion.

Where am I...?

Ereshkigal looked around the room in confusion. Soon, she felt something was wrong with her body, so she moved her body slightly.

Strange, I feel weird about my body.

Ereshkigal's thoughts suddenly stopped, and she finally realized what was happening, turning her head sharply to look at the boy behind her.

After a brief hesitation, a flush, like that of someone drunk, slowly spread across her cheeks. She muttered angrily, "What a scoundrel! What are you doing with Ishtar?!"

As she said this, she muttered to herself in annoyance, "And you, you stupid goddess, how could you use someone else's body to do such a bad thing?!"

"Since you're so shy, leave it to me. By the way, what's the situation outside? I haven't had enough fun yet!" Ishtar's voice echoed in Ereshkigal's mind.

When Ishtar is attached to Ereshkigal, she won't know what's happening in the outside world unless she takes control of the body.

Ereshkigal ignored Ishtar's voice, glanced at the boy behind her, pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, pouted, and said in a fierce tone:

"And you, Ishtar is lawless enough, but aren't you afraid of being found out by Mother and the others?"

Lan Ze said innocently, "I just wanted her to help me untangle these silver threads on my hands..."

Ereshkigal looked down and noticed that Lan Ze's hands were wrapped in tough silver threads, which completely bound them together, making it difficult for him to move.

So he was forced...? Ereshkigal's expression softened slightly, but she still spoke in an lecturing tone, "Even so, you should have refused Ishtar. You are my Divine Messenger, why should you obey her?"

"While that goddess is certainly very charming, this is my body, you know? Even if something is going to happen, it should be me doing it."

"Besides--"

Ereshkigal's mouth opened slightly, as she was about to continue her lesson.

At that moment, the words she was about to say suddenly paused slightly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth, her toes pointing outwards.

After a long while, her body gradually relaxed.

She turned her head and gave him a resentful look, but bit her lip and remained silent, which was taken as tacit approval of Lan Ze's actions.

The sky had somehow transformed from dusk into a deep sapphire blue.

With a deafening roar in mid-air, Merlin escaped from the imaginary space and plummeted straight to the ground. He was disheveled and hurriedly glanced around before his gaze quickly locked onto a certain room. Without hesitation, he dashed towards that room.

Knock knock knock!

Merlin pounded on the window with all his might. The occupant of the room, clutching his back, pushed open the window. Before he could even see clearly, the white-haired wizard had already slipped into the room without hesitation.

Lan Ze was startled and took two steps back, watching the white-haired mage rush into the room, then lie on the ground in a spread-eagle position, panting heavily, looking utterly exhausted.

That's not surprising.

All day long! He was being chased all day long.

At first, Tiamat, Sajyou Manaka, and Ryougi Shiki were chasing him. Later, these people actually started to cooperate very well. When one person was chasing, the other two would rest, taking turns to chase.

"Are you alright?" Lan Ze's concerned voice came from beside me.

But to Merlin at that moment, these words of concern were laced with blatant sarcasm.

Merlin gasped for breath, rubbed his face, and said irritably, "Do I look like I'm alright?!"

Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."

Merlin: "..."

After a brief silence, Merlin complained indignantly, "We could be considered brothers who've been through thick and thin together, right? I already have a hard time observing Humanity's Order every day, and when I finally manage to go out, I get chased and beaten up..."

As he said this, a wave of sorrow washed over him, and he let out another heavy sigh.

To everyone's surprise, Lan Ze simply uttered a deep, resonant "Merlin."

"What?"

Merlin turned to look at Lan Ze, only to see Lan Ze standing in front of him, supporting his waist and looking weak.

Merlin was taken aback, thinking to himself, "I'm tired from being chased today, but why does this guy look so tired too...?"

Lan Ze waved, signaling Merlin to come a little closer.

"What's wrong?" Merlin looked at Lan Ze warily, afraid that he would use a Noble Phantasm on him.

"Help me up," Lan Ze said.

Seeing that Lan Ze didn't seem to be joking, Merlin went over and helped Lan Ze sit down at the head of the bed.

"You... how did you get like this?" Merlin asked, somewhat surprised and uncertain, thinking to himself, with so many people protecting him, how could this guy have gotten himself so weak?

Lan Ze didn't speak, he just shook his head.

He essentially gave away all the magic he had replenished over this period today... First it was Irisviel, then Ishtar, and after Ereshkigal Ereshkigal tired, Ishtar took the opportunity to come online again...

If this continues repeatedly, even a god couldn't withstand it.

Upon seeing this, Merlin immediately complained, "You've really gotten me into trouble today! I considered you a close friend—"

At this moment, Lan Ze gently patted Merlin's shoulder, his gaze deep as he stared into Merlin's eyes, and whispered, "Do you think it's easy for me?"

Their eyes met for a moment. Merlin stared at Lan Ze's deep and sorrowful gaze for a while before letting out a soft sigh and patting Lan Ze's shoulder.

"Thanks a lot."

Although it's unclear what exactly happened to Lan Ze during the time he was beaten, it must have been something heartbreaking and tear-jerking.

Thinking about it this way, Merlin suddenly felt much more at ease.

He was only chased all day, but Lan Ze lives with these dangerous beings every day and probably has to live in constant fear.

Thinking of this, Merlin felt even more saddened and patted Lan Ze on the shoulder as well. "I've gathered almost all the intelligence. Take good care of yourself."

Lan Ze ignored Merlin and simply waved his hand before getting into bed.

He used up too much energy today and needs to rest properly.

Merlin gazed at Lan Ze's retreating figure, feeling a pang of sadness at the loss of his comrade. He sighed and shook his head inwardly.

Thinking about it this way, Lan Ze seems to have had it pretty tough...

He definitely couldn't stand being around these beasts every day.

Let alone every day, just today alone, he has already experienced what fear is.

Merlin rubbed his face, looking at Lan Ze's tired back, and suddenly felt that today's beating might not have been such a bad deal after all?

At least he only got a beating, but Lan Ze had to face those people every day... Merlin felt even happier thinking about this.
