"Auntie, what kind of deities are you talking about?"
"Are they all like in books and movies, omnipotent, and all handsome men and beautiful women, yet heartless and ungrateful?"
Fu Yu clearly had an endless interest in these bizarre and wonderful things, and could never suppress her inner curiosity.
They started asking questions non-stop right at the dinner table.
They can't even have a quiet meal...
"They are pretty much all-powerful, but they are definitely beautiful, probably reaching the limits of human aesthetics."
"As for your claim that they are heartless and ungrateful, quite the opposite is true. They are very responsible to their believers and would not bear to see them suffer any harm. They are quite humane, but they are not very quick-witted and cannot see things clearly."
Li Xuanzu swallowed the food in his mouth and slowly opened his mouth.
"How beautiful are they? Do they even have different genders?"
Fu Yu still asked the question that concerned her the most.
"They are very beautiful. To be honest, those gods are exquisite and handsome, beyond the scope of human beings, just by looking at their appearance. I am stunned by them."
Li Xuanzu did not shy away from these matters at all, or rather, he did not think they were things that needed to be avoided.
Fu Yu simply gave a soft "oh," then lowered her head and started picking at her chopsticks, clearly in a bad mood.
Are you jealous?
Li Xuanzu leaned closer, looking at Fu Yu's downcast eyes.
"No...no, I'm full."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yu lowered her head even further, but as Li Xuanzu drew closer, she fled the table as if escaping.
"They are creations of imagination, incomparable to humans, without flaws or defects, merely a group of inanimate objects. How can they be compared to you?"
Li Xuanzu followed Fu Yu to the kitchen, embraced her slender waist, and peered into her cascading raven hair, greedily inhaling the unique fragrance of the young girl.
He's really not good at comforting people, and his words always sound so stiff.
However, this was so sincere for a woman who had suffered a little setback.
It's as if that aloof man has somehow acquired a touch of everyday life.
"I...I'm not jealous at all, don't talk nonsense..."
Although she said that, the smile in her eyes and the blush on her cheeks from the close contact showed that she was very receptive to it.
Even though he was shy, he did not respond to her intimate conflict, but turned around and leaned against Li Xuanzu's chest.
"Ugh, my hair is all messed up."
However, they seem to have forgotten one thing.
Am I also part of your play?
Qian Li looked at the empty rice bowl and idly nibbled on her chopsticks a few times.
She wasn't full yet and wanted to go to the kitchen for another bowl of rice, but she was afraid that going in now would disturb them.
"Do you two always have to do this during mealtimes? A child's life is precious too. What if they don't get enough to eat and don't grow tall?"
Qian Li was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth, but she only muttered a few words to herself and didn't say them out loud.
At some point, Qian Li's personality was no longer as gloomy as before. Although it wasn't very obvious on the surface, she was at least much more active inside and no longer deliberately hid her emotions.
She no longer intentionally distanced herself from Li Xuanzu, and even developed a kind of dependence on him because of the long separation.
Sure enough, humans are social beings and cannot live without groups. Spending every day with Li Xuanzu, a man who doesn't like to talk, and Dahei, a strange creature, has caused them to develop some psychological problems.
The malleability of a child's mind is not just about the good aspects.
Li Xuanzu also noticed Qian Li's actions, and led Fu Yu out of the kitchen, casting an apologetic glance at Qian Li.
Fu Yu finally noticed that there was another person here, and her face turned even redder. She wished she could bury her head in Li Xuanzu's body.
The main reason is that Li Xuanzu overused his divine sense. He didn't usually have a very precise range of divine sense to detect danger. At most, he would subconsciously become alert when danger approached.
People need to relax; being tense for too long can drive you crazy.
As if venting her anger, Qian Li filled a large bowl with rice, piling it up like a small mountain.
... ...
When evening came, Ouyang Ningxue returned and saw the three people sitting on the sofa, looking bored.
"Are you so free? Qian Li, I brought you some snacks."
Ouyang Ningxue shook the bag in her hand, which was full of candies and dried fruit that little girls like to eat.
"Sister Ouyang, you are so kind."
Qian Li accepted Ouyang Ningxue's bag without any hesitation.
"How's it going in Serbia? Has that matter been investigated thoroughly?"
Ouyang Ningxue sat down next to Qian Li and asked about Li Xuanzu.
"Fortunately, it was the gods of those five divine kingdoms in the Mediterranean region who instigated it, and they paid a price for it. They also managed to capture that discordant goddess Eris."
"Then...bring it back? What did you bring back?!"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Ouyang Ningxue was about to speak when she could hardly believe her ears.
“Eris, the goddess of discord, haven’t you heard of her mythology? She’s the one who started the Trojan War.”
Li Xuanzu raised an eyebrow at Ouyang Ningxue, seemingly not understanding why she was so surprised.
Li Xuanzu had roughly calculated that even a high-level exorcist could capture the true form of a deity, which was why he was puzzled.
"Do you know what you're saying? You've captured a god! You'd better make sure He survives, otherwise..."
Ouyang Ningxue had never been so out of control before, and she instinctively stood up.
"Why such a big reaction? Or do you know them very well?"
Li Xuanzu's expression was extremely hostile, and his spiritual awareness had heightened. He feared that if Ouyang Ningxue did anything amiss, he would make a move.
He initially thought Ouyang Ningxue was merely shocked by his ability to capture gods, but her words made it difficult for him not to be suspicious.
How could Ouyang Ningxue know that the death of a god would cause trouble?
Even Leng An was unaware of this!
"I... that's not what I meant. After all, gods are people's beliefs, and it's not right for you to just capture them like this."
Ouyang Ningxue softened her tone.
That only makes it more suspicious.
Li Xuanzu stared intently into her eyes, as if trying to discern something from them.
But it was quickly interrupted by a sharp pain in his consciousness.
Li Xuanzu clutched his head in slight pain, but quickly recovered.
"You really are... just as I thought, Ouyang Ningxue!"
Li Xuanzu gritted his teeth, but the malice was not directed at Ouyang Ningxue herself.
"I'm a little tired and can't understand what you're saying. Or is it that your battle with the gods left you with aftereffects?"
Ouyang Ningxue waved her hand and went straight into her room.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and Fu Yu and Qian Li were too frightened to move.
"Phew, it's alright now. I was just letting those gods affect my mindset. You guys should go and get some rest too."
Li Xuanzu waved his hand irritably and went back to his room on his own.
The two were left standing there, staring at each other in bewilderment.
