"Damn it, that's so unsportsmanlike!"
Jiang Yuan, who had just logged off, clutched his heart, looking terrified. Although the Apocalypse World was a virtual world, his soul still entered it, and the sword that struck him in the chest was indeed very intimidating.
"Jealousy has turned you into a monster, hasn't it? Next time I go in, I'll slaughter you all!" Jiang Yuan said arrogantly, rubbing his neck. After fighting for four days straight, he was indeed exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Looking at Liu Zhaodi, who was still in his arms and hadn't yet emerged from the Apocalypse World, Jiang Yuan sighed, "Alas, I wonder when we'll be able to live a life without fighting and killing!"
Three days was too short a time; he even had an impulse to forget his hatred and live in seclusion with Liu Zhaodi.
But he knew this was unrealistic. His soul and body were still buried at the source, his vow remained forever in the sky above the southern city, and everything about him needed to be accounted for.
What are you thinking about?
As Jiang Yuan's thoughts drifted, the person in his arms wrapped their arms around his waist and poked their head out, looking at him with a mischievous grin.
Jiang Yuan snapped out of his reverie and smiled, "I was thinking about you."
"Why would you miss me? We've been inseparable for the past three days!" Liu Zhaodi snuggled up to her like a kitten.
"I was wondering if the blood that splatters when I give you the sword to kill me would scare you!" Jiang Yuan said with a wicked smile.
"Yes, I was scared, sob sob sob..." Liu Zhaodi was practically wiping tears on her face and pretending to cry.
Jiang Yuan hugged her affectionately, and finally pressed his face against hers through her long hair, saying tenderly, "I might not be able to be with you for the next few days, so please promise me you'll take good care of yourself."
"No, I need you to take care of me so I can grow up healthy and plump," Liu Zhaodi said coquettishly.
"Gu Anlei told me a message half a day ago that her master will be back in the next few days, probably to prepare for this year's pilgrimage. So, it's best if I keep my distance from you!"
At this point, Jiang Yuan dared not take any risks, so he preferred to leave the academy to go out and collect his insights.
“Actually, I think there’s a difference between a companion god and Ning Yanlan. Ning Yanlan will recognize you, but a companion god might not. The only thing on you that could alert her is the Soul of Mending Heaven!” Liu Zhaodi pointed out Jiang Yuan’s shortcomings incisively.
There are far too many similar people in this world, and the ability to distinguish one's identity is not only based on appearance, but also on one's more familiar field of expertise.
“This problem can’t be solved for now.” Jiang Yuan shook his head and said helplessly. He knew all too well that the key to his identity being exposed was the Soul of Mending the Heavens, but so what? He only had this one soul to use now. If he were to lose the Soul of Mending the Heavens, even if he had the inheritance of the God of Death, it would be useless.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi slipped out of Jiang Yuan's arms and crawled out of bed, saying, "Close your eyes, I'll give you a treasure!"
"No need, your best treasure is right in front of me!" Jiang Yuan straightened up and said sweetly.
"You smooth talker, you're asking for it!"
Liu Zhaodi raised her hand and glared at him threateningly. Jiang Yuan had no choice but to give in and close his eyes. In his perception, Liu Zhaodi started activating a formation after getting up. After performing a complicated ritual, she waved her arms as if summoning something. A few minutes later, Liu Zhaodi tiptoed back to bed.
"Alright, open your eyes!" Liu Zhaodi put her hands behind her back and knelt on the blanket in a loli-like kneeling position.
"You retrieved something from another dimension?" Jiang Yuan guessed, relying on his perception of the array.
"Great! Now guess what gift I've prepared for you?" Liu Zhaodi asked mysteriously.
Jiang Yuan seemed to be deep in thought, and said with a complicated expression, "If my intuition is correct, one of them should be the lucky die!"
"You idiot, did you peek?!" If Liu Zhaodi hadn't been holding her leg down, she would have kicked her directly.
"Don't cheat! I guessed this completely!" Jiang Yuan had used the lucky dice many times before, and he was very familiar with its light and aura.
"Okay, then guess what the second thing is!" Although Liu Zhaodi took out the lucky dice, she still held her other hand tightly behind her back.
"There's no need to guess anymore, it's another set from the Goddess of Fortune!" Jiang Yuan said confidently.
"You said you didn't peek, but you did!" Liu Zhaodi said unhappily, raising her fist.
"Really not!" Jiang Yuan could only smile wryly, because he had already considered borrowing these from Liu Zhaodi before coming here, since he would need them whether he was opening the Supreme Core or surviving the Divine Realm.
"Close your eyes!"
Liu Zhaodi gave a very domineering order.
"What now?" Jiang Yuan couldn't figure out the mysterious Liu Zhaodi.
"Shut up! What makes you think a man would be afraid of a girl like me trying to take advantage of you?" Liu Zhaodi said irritably.
Jiang Yuan remained silent and could only close his eyes.
After closing his eyes, he could feel Liu Zhaodi's fragrance getting closer and closer, as if she was less than a few centimeters away from him.
"Is she putting a necklace on me?" Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. The Goddess of Fortune set has five pieces in total, one of which is a necklace.
"Open your arms!"
Jiang Yuan cooperated fully, and after he did, he felt the lucky dice land in his palm, turning back into a small, exquisite cube.
After finishing all this, Liu Zhaodi clapped her hands and said happily, "That's it! A perfect look!"
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes to examine the two items, and sure enough, they were both sets from the Goddess of Fortune. However, before he could speak, Liu Zhaodi spoke first.
"I originally wanted to give you the lucky ring as well, but it has a naming effect, so it wouldn't work for you. Therefore, I took out the remaining two items!" Liu Zhaodi chuckled, showing no other emotions despite taking out things that were very important to her.
