Many of the goddesses' gazes towards An Ge shifted from curiosity to hostility, some even scrutinizing her with a critical eye. After scrutinizing her, they became even angrier.
Even if they were unhappy with An Ge and the others, they had to admit that this person was a lucky one in terms of both appearance and strength. Even his weak background had been compensated for by Yin Cang Shenjun's machinations.
Who doesn't know that An Ge is Yin Cang Shenjun's acknowledged granddaughter, the Dragon God's sister, and on good terms with Su Xinhe, and also has a powerful, cold-faced immortal by her side? Don't underestimate her just because she's few in number; any one of them is a prominent figure.
An Ge, amidst curious gazes, suddenly sensed several hostile forces. Turning her head, she saw several goddesses looking at her jealously, then gazing at Hu Jiu with tender affection. She immediately understood.
Even with a cold face, Hu Jiu still manages to attract attention. Unfortunately, the goddess is interested, but Hu Jiu is indifferent.
An Ge smiled at the goddess who was glaring at her, then rolled her eyes at the goddess's puzzled look. There was no need to give a goddess who was eyeing her man a friendly look.
The goddesses initially thought An Ge's smile was friendly, but after seeing his disdainful look, they realized it was a provocation, not a friendly one. Some goddesses almost couldn't help but curse him, but when they saw Hu Jiu's deathly gaze, their already shattered hearts turned to dust.
Judging from Hu Jiu's behavior, it was clear that he knew An Ge Shenjun's true personality, and he even seemed smug. Instantly, the beautiful filter that the goddesses had for Hu Jiu shattered.
Such blind immortal lords, how could they have been so foolish as to have fallen for them?
Amidst many envious or amazed gazes, there was also a complex emotion. An Ge shifted her gaze, and the other person seemed to have seen something terrifying, immediately averting their eyes and hurriedly walking out of the gates of the divine realm with their head down.
An Ge frowned in confusion. "What does that deity mean? I haven't offended him, have I?"
Su Xinhe smiled mysteriously, "Ignore him, he just doesn't know how to face you. Lord Yin Cang is your grandfather, but he's his ancestor." Then, he recounted how the two of them made the bet, leaving An Ge dumbfounded.
She thought she already knew enough about Grandpa Yin's arrogance, but she never expected him to surpass her expectations once again. To have a deity call him "ancestor"—how arrogant must that be?
"Luckily, Grandpa Yin is strong." Otherwise, with that temper alone, he would have died countless times over.
“Yes,” Su Xinhe couldn’t help but sigh, and then reminded An Ge, “Some oaths in the Divine Realm cannot be made casually. If you break an oath, the backlash you will suffer will be unbearable.”
"Don't worry, I... I'll see how it goes." An Ge swallowed back the words that were originally meant to be affirmative.
Su Xin chuckled, "It's not that you can't speak carelessly, just don't use divine power when you're saying certain things. That deity was in a bad mood at the time, so..."
“I understand.” An Ge gave Su Xin a knowing look and silently breathed a sigh of relief. She had now mastered the skill of lying without batting an eye. If she couldn’t speak freely, she would have to remain mute in the future.
The Alliance headquarters building resembled a Western castle. Upon entering, Ange was stunned by the statues lining the corridors. Some of these statues depicted powerful demonic beasts, while others portrayed soldiers wielding weapons. Walking through the corridor, the imposing aura emanating from the statues made her feel somewhat oppressed.
Looking at the tall soldier, who clearly had a Western appearance and looked like a god, An Ge truly realized the power of the Divine Realm Alliance. His previously indifferent attitude immediately changed.
Suddenly, the statue's eyes twitched. Then, the soldier bent down, staring at An Ge's shocked expression, and said, "Oh, is this the new kid?"
"It moved?" An Ge stammered, pointing at the statue. It wasn't that she was scared, but rather that she was ignorant.
"Stop teasing her, Lord Yin Cang is waiting to see her."
"Tch, I just wanted to say a few words to her, look how anxious you all are. Go on, go on, we'll be colleagues from now on, there'll be plenty of time to talk."
After passing the statue, An Ge breathed a long sigh of relief. "What is that? Can a statue become a god?"
Su Xinhe explained, "That's an ability of the statue's owner. The statues he sculpts seem to have a life of their own, and he can possess them at any time. Don't be fooled by how ordinary it sounds; if used in combat, it's like having several lives."
An Ge understood; these statues were essentially substitute puppets. As long as the statues existed, the deity would never perish. Knowing this ability, An Ge was truly envious. With such divine power, she wouldn't have to worry about her life anymore.
Seemingly sensing An Ge's envy, Su Xinhe explained, "It's not as incredible as you think. Making this kind of statue requires a lot of power. Even though there are so many statues in the Alliance, only one or two can be possessed by a deity."
"That's still very impressive."
"Yes, every divine power in the alliance is not to be underestimated. That's why the gods avoid fighting each other if possible. Someone like Lord Yin Cang is a complete accident."
"Has Grandpa Yin also suffered a lot of losses?"
Su Xinhe gave An Ge a "that goes without saying" look, which made An Ge sigh. Even a powerful deity like Grandpa Yin would suffer a loss, let alone a little deity like her.
She caused a scene at the office as soon as she arrived in the Divine Realm, truly showing the fearlessness of a newborn calf. If it weren't for the Dragon God, she might not have escaped unscathed.
Noticing An Ge's worry, Hu Jiu squeezed her hand. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. As long as I have a breath left, I will avenge you."
An Ge grasped Hu Jiu's hand in return, "Even immortals can take revenge after a thousand years. Let's settle our scores together."
Su Xinhe felt particularly annoyed by their behavior; these two were truly a perfect match, both so vindictive. Recalling Hu Jiu's past actions, Su Xinhe realized their words were more than just empty rhetoric.
Whether they are gods or immortals, no one wants to be constantly targeted by enemies, especially when those enemies are so powerful and even reckless.
Immortals cherish their lives, and the saying "a wise man submits to circumstances" is even more fitting for them. Perhaps only newly born immortals like Hu Jiu and An Ge possess such courage?
Before they even reached Yin Cang's office, An Ge heard a commotion. The group exchanged glances and quickly went forward.
Yin Cang jumped up and down, pointing angrily at a Western-looking deity, "I've put up with you for a long time, what, you want to fight?"
The other party refused to back down, shouting, "You damned Yin Cang, give me back my divine coins!"
"You can't even pay back a little bit. Who told you to offend me? If you're not satisfied, do you believe that you won't receive a single divine coin for the next ten thousand years?" After saying that, he took out a divine coin and threw it at the other party.
The divine coin disappeared the moment it touched the other party.
