The Goddess of Life's Thighs, Zafkiel That Drained Lifespan

"Mm, no need for excessive courtesy. I accept your apology."

"More than that, I'd like to know why the Dragon God suddenly went mad back then. Little one, I assume you won't refuse such a small request from me?"

When the Goddess of Life saw the expressions on Yun Duo and the others' faces, a gentle smile like the warm spring sun bloomed across her tender, beautiful features.

Then, with a light wave of her jade-like hand, a streak of emerald divine power instantly and steadily lifted Dugu Bo's body, which had been bent at the waist with his head lowered.

Likewise, before anyone could react, Yun Duo had already been teleported before the Goddess of Life. She held him steadily in midair with both hands, her eyes filled with curiosity as she examined him closely and carefully.

This irresistible power... she truly is a god.

After feeling that force he could not resist, Dugu Bo could not help marveling inwardly. His eyes were full of awe and shock.

"Ah... this... Goddess of Life, I..."

Seeing himself held in midair like a baby by the Goddess of Life, Yun Duo, who had awakened the memories of his past life on Blue Star, felt a wave of embarrassment.

However, before Yun Duo could finish speaking, the Goddess of Life interrupted him.

"Hehe, little one, I find you quite endearing, so you don't need to call me Lady Goddess of Life. You can call me Sister Life, or simply Sister."

"Also, little one, your name is Yun Duo, right? Didn't you say earlier that you not only wanted to follow me around, but also wanted to cling tightly to my thigh?"

"Since that's the case, you'll be my little brother from now on. But then again, why are you suddenly too embarrassed to speak?"

"Here, Sister's thigh is right here. Go ahead and hug it. Then be good and tell Sister why the Dragon God suddenly went mad, okay?"

Seeing Yun Duo's face flushed bright red from holding himself back, the Goddess of Life teasingly used his own words against him.

Then, the Goddess of Life lightly patted her thigh, as though indicating that Yun Duo truly could hug it.

"Cough... cough... Sister Life... th-this isn't appropriate, is it? I was only speaking figuratively before. Figuratively, that's all."

When Yun Duo saw the Goddess of Life's legs wrapped in emerald-green stockings, the blush on his face deepened until it nearly seemed ready to bleed. His gaze darted about in panic, and he did not dare meet her teasing yet gentle eyes.

At the same time, Yun Duo kept chanting silently in his heart.

The Goddess of Life is a married woman. The Goddess of Life is a married woman.

And I'm not Cao Cao. I'm not Cao Cao.

"Hm? Twin Martial Souls? Little one, I only just noticed that you actually possess both the power of time and the power of space. But I've discovered that your time martial soul seems to have a fatal flaw."

"Little one, perhaps you can wield the power of space. But you must understand that time is a far stronger and more dangerous power than space. Likewise, the power of time is not something you can control at your current level."

After carefully examining the little one in her hands, the Goddess of Life discovered Yun Duo's unusual traits.

"What? His martial soul has a fatal flaw? X~3"

Upon hearing the Goddess of Life say that Yun Duo's martial soul had a fatal flaw, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling's expressions instantly changed. When it came to the suffering caused by flaws in martial souls, the three of them understood it better than anyone present.

"Come on, Sister Life, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Don't I still have a Martial Soul Domain to make up for it? It's no big deal. Old man, Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling, you don't need to worry about me."

After having his little secret exposed by the Goddess of Life, Yun Duo simply admitted it. Anyone who had watched Date A Live and knew Kurumi Tokisaki's Zafkiel would understand.

Zafkiel, its full name being "Zafkiel—the Angel of Time," manifested in the form of a clock face. The clock face possessed twelve hands, and every movement of those hands could manipulate time, such as accelerating, slowing, stopping, or rewinding it.

However, each use of Zafkiel's abilities came at the cost of the wielder's own lifespan. The amount consumed depended on the strength of the ability and how long it was used.

In the original work, Kurumi Tokisaki used many methods to replenish the lifespan she had consumed. For example, she used the City of Devoured Time to steal the lifespans of ordinary people.

Likewise, when he inherited Kurumi Tokisaki's Zafkiel as his martial soul, he also inherited her City of Devoured Time, as well as Zafkiel's flaw of requiring lifespan as payment.

The difference was that he did not need to follow Kurumi Tokisaki's example and steal the lifespans of ordinary people to replenish his own time.

This was Douluo Continent, after all. Thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts with long lifespans were everywhere.

Furthermore, he possessed Genesis Continent's Core Key. By slowly absorbing the pitifully small amount of divine power he could mobilize, he could replenish his time as well.

All things considered, as long as he did not, like when he had first awakened his martial soul, directly stop time across all of Douluo Continent or use the power of time on a massive scale, there would not be much of a problem with normally using his martial soul in battle.

Moreover, just as the Goddess of Life had said, time was king and space was supreme. Under normal circumstances, these two powers truly were not something ordinary people could wield.

Looking across the history of Creation Continent, aside from Taiyi and Taichu, the two original gods who governed time and space and had already fallen, the only others to possess these powers were the Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King, two God Kings among the Nine Dragon Kings who had likewise already fallen.

Of course, that excluded extraordinary beings beyond all standards like the Creator God and the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin.

Likewise, as a transmigrator who possessed both the powers of time and space, he was more like a bug in the world itself.

"Oh, right. Little girls, don't just stand there foolishly. Come over and have a seat. I never expected that a trip to Douluo Star would allow me to see descendants of the Flower Goddess."

When the Goddess of Life saw Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling still standing foolishly off to the side, she slowly spoke.

Then, the Goddess of Life gently raised her jade-like hand. A faint ring of emerald radiance surged around her, leaping and circling joyfully like nimble little spirits.

At the same time, the Aromatic Silk Beauty that the Goddess of Life had been using as a stool seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force and began to sway slowly. Its tightly clustered petals gradually unfurled and separated, while its emerald stems quietly grew, twisted, and transformed.

In the blink of an eye, a table and three chairs, naturally formed from bent and grown roots and stems, appeared before them. Their lines were smooth, and their designs were exquisite.
