The story begins with the first day of support missions, detailing every single aspect vividly...

As Xiao He listened, his thoughts drifted away involuntarily.

She gently touched her stomach.

He once said he would never have a daughter, but soon his ideal was overturned by reality.

However, at this very moment, Patika is a living example right before our eyes.

If we wrap our children up in the same way in the future, they will find it difficult to integrate into human society when they grow up.

Moreover, this adaptation process will be extremely painful. If one isn't careful, there's even a risk of going astray...

But I am a "god"! I was destined to belong to a non-human circle long ago.

Sensing Tyr's presence behind him, Xiao He suddenly realized that this might be the reason Tyr had been hiding his identity.

She needs to provide her child with a normal environment for development, not just physical growth, but more importantly, emotional growth.

“So that’s how it is…” Xiao He also stared blankly at the river.

Among the large group of fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river, there are leaders, tail followers, scattered individuals, and those who have fallen behind.

Among millions of species, even the most exceptional fish and shrimp will appear quite ordinary, not to mention the distant deep sea and blue whales...

What are you pursuing?

Xiao He knew that this question could not be asked of the two unborn children, so in his confusion he could only turn to ask Patika.

The latter's incessant chatter abruptly ceased, and his gaze back at Xiao He was filled with confusion: "Pursuit?"

"right."

Xiao He's expression remained unchanged.

"Before, you thought day and night about leaving your mother and leaving the Holy Maiden Temple. Now your wish has come true, but you are not happy. Why?"

“I…” Patika seemed stumped by the question and couldn’t answer for a moment.

Yes! Why?

Why is it that even though I've gained the freedom I wanted most, I'm now less happy than before?

They even tend to compare the present with the past.

However, the scariest thing is that life now is not as comfortable as it used to be?

Patika's mental state completely collapsed.

All she wanted to do now was ignore everything and just cry her heart out to the sky.

“Good girl…” Tyr gently put his arm around her shoulder.

Patika's eyes widened; she was completely unaware that someone had appeared beside her.

"You? Who are you?!"

"Don't be afraid, my name is Tia..."

The gentle tone of her voice made Patika feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze, as if her whole mood was infected with calm and tranquility.

Xiao He also turned his head to look at the shadow beside her.

Tyr, who had regained her divine form, now reverted to the appearance of a peasant woman, with a kind and amiable smile on her face.

“Tia?” Patika felt a pang of disappointment, but also a sense of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn't Tyr, the water god, who came.

Otherwise, with his disheveled appearance, no one would want to even glance at him, let alone teach him about the water element.

As if guessing her thoughts, Tyr didn't say anything, but continued to comfort her with a smile.

"Right now... do you not want to do anything, and don't want to go anywhere?"

She spoke slowly, as if deliberately leaving room for people to think.

Patika nodded in agreement.

"Would you be willing to put everything aside and come back to the village with me for a while?" Tyr asked with a smile.

"Back to the village?" Patika was taken aback, clearly not expecting this woman she had never met before to invite her like this...

"Water, avoid arrogance and impetuosity."

"Water can be angry, it can be wild. But if it is always angry and wild, it will eventually fall apart after its rage."

"You are naturally drawn to water, but you still need to change yourself so that water will naturally draw to you."

"Otherwise, you will be stuck at the level of forbidden spells forever, and you will even be able to cast forbidden spells with great difficulty."

"This is why only the 'human heart' can cultivate elemental power."

"Because the first beings in the world to have feelings were not human beings, but the spirits of the elements."

"I hope you understand this before continuing your studies in water-related subjects..."

Patika's mentor's words echoed in her mind.

This was the only "evaluation" she heard before leaving, from her mentor who knew her best.

Human hearts, emotions...

Having heard countless stories, she thought she understood the world perfectly, only to discover that she knew nothing at all.

“Okay, I’m willing to go with you,” Patika suddenly said.

Tyr smiled slightly, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes becoming more pronounced, but his eyes were like bright crystals.

"Huh?" Only Xiao He was caught off guard: "You're really willing?"

She didn't understand how Tyr could persuade Patika with just a few words.

If Xiao He could read all of Patika's thoughts, perhaps he could understand her words and actions.

But she struggles to understand ordinary girls, let alone a special girl like Patika, whose life experiences are completely different from others...

A girl who has always been revered as a "goddess" or "saint".

The phrase "a fairy descending to earth" sounds like it describes beauty, but the truth is that it reflects a helplessness that mortals cannot imagine.

Fortunately, Patika was willing to accept this change.

Rather than a life of solitude and loneliness, she longed for simple happiness.

Patika's eyes immediately cleared.

She turned to look at Xiao He, her voice firm: "Yes! I really am willing!"

Xiao He blinked in surprise, then looked at Tyr beside him, who nodded slightly.

"Leave it to me, don't worry," Tyr telepathically said.
