Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

"Forget it, this will have to do."

Lan Ze reluctantly accepted Tiamat's affectionate embrace.

Perhaps it was from traveling all day, or perhaps he felt exceptionally safe lying in Tiamat's warm embrace, but Lan Ze soon felt a wave of sleepiness. Tiamat also let out a small yawn, her eyes watering slightly as a tiny canine tooth peeked out.

She cast one last look at her child, seemingly worried she wouldn't see him when she woke up. So, she cradled the back of Lan Ze's head and gently pressed him into her chest before slowly falling asleep.

Late at night, Ishtar returned to the temple. She tiptoed into the room, careful not to disturb Tiamat.

Upon entering, she saw a sight she had never witnessed in her life.

The Creation Mother Goddess, with her sexy and voluptuous figure, was gently holding Lan Ze, cradling him in her arms. The intimate pose was almost too much for Ishtar, even though she had been somewhat prepared.

She looked at the woman's sleeping face and unconsciously swallowed.

In all her life, she had never slept with the Creation Mother Goddess...

"It should be okay to just lie down and rest for a bit, right?"

Ishtar muttered to herself, then crept to Lan Ze's back and lay down, nuzzling against her Mother's scent.

Time quietly passed into the latter half of the night. In his sleep, the young boy's cheeks enjoyed a soft, warm sensation, but he vaguely felt something hard pressing against his back. He opened his eyes in his drowsy state.

He glanced back slightly, and his eyes widened: "Ishtar?!"

"Shh... shh!" Ishtar put a finger to her lips, signaling Lan Ze to be quiet.

"Why did you come in here?" Lan Ze lowered his voice as much as possible.

He didn't know if Tiamat would allow anyone else to sleep with her. If Ishtar had barged in like this and Tiamat found out, he didn't know what would happen.

Ishtar stuck out her tongue apologetically, clasped her hands together, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, but I wanted to see what it felt like to sleep with Mother, so I..."

"Then why are you sleeping behind me?"

"If I slept right next to Mother and she found out, she might get angry," Ishtar said plaintively.

"Aaa..."

Just then, the woman in her sleep seemed to have overheard their conversation and let out a soft hum.

Lan Ze and Ishtar fell silent simultaneously. The proud Goddess of Beauty seemed to be worried about being discovered by Tiamat, and instinctively pressed herself against Lan Ze's back to avoid detection.

At the same moment, Tiamat slowly opened her eyes.

The instant Tiamat's eyes opened, Lan Ze closed his eyes.

He let out a faint snore, pretending to be asleep.

However--

"Aaa?"

Tiamat poked his cheek with her finger, making a confused sound, as if wondering why her cub was pretending to sleep.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Lan Ze had no choice but to open his eyes.

Lan Ze's face was reflected in Tiamat's clear, translucent eyes. She looked at him with confusion and made another "Aaa" sound.

"Mother, why are you awake so early?" Lan Ze forced himself to stay calm, looking at Tiamat with a gentle smile.

"Aaaa (I heard a sound just now.)"

Lan Ze could clearly feel Ishtar, hidden behind him, tremble slightly.

"Um... are you imagining things?"

As he spoke, Lan Ze unconsciously tensed his body, trying to cover for the trembling Ishtar.

However--

Tiamat immediately shook her head gently and stared at Lan Ze: "Aaaa (It wasn't imagination.)"

As she spoke, she started to sit up from the head of the bed. Lan Ze felt an inexplicable nervousness and grabbed Tiamat, saying, "Mother, let's just go back to sleep. I'm sleepy."

Tiamat gently stroked Lan Ze's head, as if to say: Child, be good, don't make trouble.

Then, her gaze continued to fix on Lan Ze.

Ishtar's heart suddenly tightened.

She could clearly feel that Tiamat wasn't looking at Lan Ze, but at her, hidden behind him.

"What do I do, what do I do... If Mother finds out I snuck in here in the middle of the night to disturb her... I don't know what terrible things will happen," Ishtar worried inwardly.

The proud Goddess of Beauty, imagining Tiamat's angry expression, became even more nervous.

She subconsciously clutched Lan Ze's sleeve, as if hoping her Divine Messenger would do something.

However, before her Divine Messenger could do anything, Tiamat had already sat up from the head of the bed, her gaze fixed on the slender goddess hiding behind Lan Ze.

Tiamat tilted her head: "Aaa?"

Seeing that she could no longer pretend to be an ostrich with its head in the sand, Ishtar raised her hand with a friendly smile and waved: "Good evening, Mother..."

Then, the aura emanating from Ishtar suddenly changed. The next moment, the Ishtar with the friendly smile disappeared.

Ereshkigal, who had just taken control of the body, looked around the surroundings in confusion, then raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her.

Ereshkigal clearly froze for a moment, looking at Tiamat and blinking.

"Aaa?" Tiamat blinked as well.

Immediately, Ereshkigal, who had been confused for a long time, slowly widened her eyes, staring straight at Tiamat.

"Eh, eh?! Mother?!"

She let out an incredulous gasp, crying out in shock.

Then she turned her head to look at Lan Ze by the bed, then looked down at herself, instinctively covering her chest, her face flushed red: "Wh-why am I sleeping in the same bed as you?!"

"And how did Mother get here? Wasn't she..."

Lan Ze only reacted after a long pause, saying helplessly, "Are you Ereshkigal?"

Ereshkigal nodded, her brain still in a state of shutdown: "What exactly is going on?"

She was completely bewildered at the moment.

Just now, she felt like Ishtar's consciousness had disappeared. She had wanted to take the opportunity to go to the surface to relax, but when she opened her eyes... she was lying in bed with her Divine Messenger sleeping beside her.

Next to the Divine Messenger sat a woman with a well-proportioned figure, her blue hair spread out, tilting her head like a cat, uttering a beautiful "Aaa" song.

"Hmm... to put it simply, Ishtar sold you," Lan Ze said with a complicated expression.

Ereshkigal blinked, a look of confusion on her face, as if asking "Who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do now."

Lan Ze glanced at Tiamat, then leaned close to Ereshkigal's ear and whispered something.

The Goddess of the Underworld, who had been in a daze, slowly widened her eyes when she heard the end. She looked at Tiamat in disbelief: "Is that guy an idiot?"

To sneak into "Mother's" room in the middle of the night, and even wake her up...

Could she really be called that idiot goddess?

Just then, a sound of "Aaa" suddenly came from the room. Ereshkigal, her mood complicated, looked up at Tiamat and saw the woman wearing a gentle smile.

Lan Ze looked at Tiamat with some surprise, then explained, "Mother says she's happy that others aren't afraid of her, so she won't blame you."

Ereshkigal finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, when she noticed Lan Ze's gaze, her face suddenly flushed red: "But I'm not like that idiot goddess. Sleeping together or something, at least wait until we're lovers. Not yet..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and fiddled with the golden strands of hair at her forehead, a shy blush coloring her face. She glanced at Tiamat again: "But it's okay if I sleep next to Mother..."

"You're not afraid of her either?" Lan Ze asked.

Ereshkigal gave Lan Ze a strange look: "Why would I be afraid of Mother?"

Tiamat was not a beast now, but the Creation Mother Goddess. Some gods feared her, but there were also those who liked her.

Both Ereshkigal and Ishtar were among those who liked her.

Lan Ze immediately turned back to Tiamat and said with a smile, "See, Mother? I told you everyone wouldn't be afraid of you."

Tiamat nodded with an "Aaa," a gentle smile on her face.

Ereshkigal's eyes suddenly lit up.

Mother is smiling at me!

The atmosphere wasn't as bad as she had imagined; the room was filled with warmth.

But at this moment, Ereshkigal suddenly felt the control of her body being stripped away... It was Ishtar, who had forcibly made her faint earlier, waking up again.

"What a shame... I'll come find you again if there's a chance," Ereshkigal said, looking up at Tiamat and Lan Ze. In the next moment, the aura around her changed drastically.

Just then, Tiamat gently stroked Ishtar's head.

"Huh...?" Ishtar was still dazed. She looked up at Tiamat, and after a long pause, she finally reacted. She closed her eyes, immersing herself in Tiamat's head pat.

In this warm atmosphere, Tiamat still lifted Ishtar by the back of her collar, as if grabbing fate by the scruff of its neck.

"Eh?"

Ishtar blinked and looked up: "Mother?"

"When you rest at night, you cannot approach my child," Tiamat said.

"No... but I'm your child too."

"It's different," Tiamat shook her head. "There is only one child who sleeps with me at night."

Whether it was an illusion or not, Lan Ze clearly felt Ishtar looking at him with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Then, under Tiamat's gaze, she dejectedly left the room.

The next morning.

When Lan Ze woke up from his sleep, Tiamat was already sitting in a chair not far from the bed, tidying her hair.

The sunlight outside was just right. Under the azure sky, only a few white clouds could be seen. Sunlight streamed through the window, and when the wind blew, the light and shadow on the ground swayed gently.

Lan Ze didn't disturb Tiamat and sat beside her, waiting for her to finish grooming her hair.

Actually, the original Tiamat wouldn't care about such things, but she had watched an anime before. The female protagonists in the anime would dress up meticulously before going on a date. It was said that the date recipient's mood would improve significantly upon seeing their beloved girl dressed up.

Lan Ze didn't know when Tiamat had woken up. This woman, who was usually fond of sleeping, seemed to be looking forward to today's date. She had woken up even earlier than him, sat there tidying her hair, and was even agonizing over what clothes to wear.

She touched the horns on her head, then let her soft, blue, long hair hang down naturally. Seen from the side, one could just make out the woman's slightly pursed, elastic, and sexy lips. Her profile looked pure white and flawless, incredibly beautiful.

After confirming her hair and dress were neat, she picked up the bowler hat beside her. She put it on, then touched the hat, making sure she wouldn't feel her horns.

"Very pretty," Lan Ze commented from the side.

"Aaaaa (I'm not pretty without the hat.)" Tiamat took off the hat and pointed to the horns on her head.

She actually didn't like wearing hats, but without one, the pair of horns on her head would be exposed. That might scare the local residents when she went on a date, so she had to wear the hat.

"Not at all, it's quite distinctive," Lan Ze said with a smile. "Super cute. If my girlfriend were you, I'd be very happy."

"Ishtar thinks so too, right?" He turned to look at Ishtar, who was hiding by the door and peeking.

Ishtar was clearly startled, then nodded vigorously, "Ah... yes, right! Mother is beautiful!"

Ishtar had been peeking ever since Tiamat woke up. She had wanted to come in a few times to help Tiamat with her hair, but the tsundere goddess couldn't bring herself to do it. She hesitated at the door for a long time, watching Tiamat finish styling her hair.

"Speaking of which, where are you two going today?" Ishtar suddenly asked again.

This was the first time she had seen Tiamat take something so seriously, waking up early to fix her hair and prepare her clothes.

"I'm planning to go on a date with Mother."

Ishtar froze for a moment, blinked, and a question mark appeared above her head.

"A date...? You and Mother?"

"It means taking Mother out to play, eat, and see the sights," Lan Ze explained.

"No, I know what a date means... I mean, you're actually planning to go on a date with Mother?!" Ishtar strode up to Lan Ze, closing the distance to his face, her eyes wide, her face full of shock.
