Chapter 42: Double Encounter and the Fox's Troubles
The night is rich.
The system quietly refreshed the information database without disturbing the human priest who was in a deep sleep.
The sound of shallow breathing and faint tinkling sounds briefly intertwined, and then there was silence.
【Information has been changed】
Current citizens:
——[Dark Elf Iper] has arrived]
*
The dark god in front of him lowered his head, leaning sleepily against the edge of the bathtub, his flushed face blurred and unable to even focus.
The translucent window refracted the moonlight hanging high in the sky, casting delicate shadows on the wheat-colored skin.
The long, curly black hair was wet with water, clinging to her collarbone until it sank into the water, creating ripples.
Something is very wrong.
Chen Shuang stretched out a finger and moved it to the left, and the god looked to the left. When she moved it to the right, the god looked to the right.
"It's fine during the day," Chen Shuang touched his flushed cheek, "a little hot."
Do gods also get fever?
"I……"
His Adam's apple rolled, and he kept following the person in front of him like a thirsty man. His hazy eyes gradually fixed on the rosy lips in front of him.
Want to kiss.
In this hot and humid environment, I wanted to breathe faster and fall together.
Without reason to restrain his actions, the restless god followed his natural instincts, and his hand covered with transparent water stains slowly reached out to the face that was close at hand.
Hold her in your arms, hold her tightly, pull her into the water, and let your breath entangle forever.
God thought.
He stretched out his hand and carefully touched the equally black hair. The cold touch passed through his palm, causing a tingling sensation.
God felt a sudden heaviness in his hand.
"Put on some clothes first, don't catch a cold."
Chen Shuang stuffed a large, layered skirt into Shen's hands, picked up another maid outfit, and asked, "If you don't like something too complicated, how about this one?"
god:"……"
The god, feeling dizzy due to the influence of an unknown force, quickly shook his head and decisively took a half step back into the pool. He buried his upper body in the transparent white water, his head floated to the surface, and looked vigilantly at the human priest in front of him.
"Don't you like it?"
The god shook his head like a rattle.
God: Stare.
Shen Shuang moved her skirt away regretfully.
Tsk, I thought it would be easier to fool people who are stupid.
Although confused, the god who refused to obey finally got the right clothes through struggle.
He wore a gorgeous black robe, with silver chains of various sizes wrapped around his slender waist. A delicate jewel chain hung from his slender neck, extending into his robe. As he walked, a clear and crisp sound was heard.
The god, dressed in his clothes, sat obediently by the pool, staring blankly without moving.
Chen Shuang withdrew her observation gaze.
It seemed to be more of an elf-like state, and he didn't realize that he was actually in a dream.
It seemed that something had happened that she was not aware of.
Chen Shuang asked, "Do you know how to get out?"
The god in front of her slowly raised his head, his black eyes looking at her: "Why do you want to go out?"
"Can't you stay here with me?"
Sleeping in the deserted temple for a thousand years was truly unbearable. The Dark God rarely let out a plea: "Stay in the temple..."
"Don't leave me here alone."
"……OK."
The god, his identity already confused, lowered his head slightly, chaotic memories fluttering before his eyes like snowflakes. One moment, it was his true self sleeping in the heavens, the next, it was the spirits waiting outside the temple every day.
He thought for a while, as if he had made some important decision, looked up at Chen Shuang, gritted his teeth and said reluctantly: "Wearing a skirt is also possible."
"As long as you can stay."
Chen Shuang clenched her right fist and put it to her lips: "Cough."
What a pity, I couldn't record it.
"That's not necessary, Iper."
The clear voice pronounced the name slowly and seriously, causing God to focus all his attention on her.
The priest in front of him had a smile in his eyes. He looked around at the gradually disappearing scene, turned his head and said slowly: "It seems that we can walk now."
She said, "Go out and meet him."
The dream collapsed, and the person in front of him suddenly disappeared. The god's eyes widened instantly. He staggered to catch the scattered remaining phantoms, but unfortunately he only touched thick water mist.
The warm breath still lingered there, but his perception could not find any trace of human beings.
disappeared.
The god, whose consciousness was not very clear, could not distinguish between truth and falsehood. He only knew that he saw the person in front of him disappear with his own eyes.
The god curled his fingers, and the vibration in his heart rumbled.
Gone forever.
He trembled and said, "Gone...forever?"
God was instantly overwhelmed by great panic.
【06:45】
The first thing Chen Shuang saw when she woke up was the unknown seed prompted by the system.
She got up from the bed and just as she stepped outside, she saw the vine dangling back and forth over the doorway. It had woven itself into a peace knot and hung upside down over the door. Upon seeing Chen Shuang, it saluted dazedly and then continued to dangle.
"It looks like the symptoms are serious."
Chen Shuang put down the vine that had twisted out flowers, then went upstairs and knocked on the elf's door: "Are you okay?"
No response.
She put her palm on the door and was about to push it open when the door in front of her, which had been motionless, suddenly opened.
The conscious elf stood behind the door, his voice a little hoarse: "What's wrong?"
Chen Shuang: "Something happened in the temple, I came to see how you are."
The elf turned his face away: "I'm fine, they are just some little tricks, they have no effect on me."
Chen Shuang looked at the elf hiding behind the door. He was hiding in the shadows, so her expression couldn't be seen, but he didn't look very good.
It seems that I didn't get a good rest last night.
Chen Shuang took back the hand that was pushing the door and said, "Then sleep a little longer."
The elf in front of her murmured "hmm", raised his eyes and looked at her steadily, as if he wanted to imprint the person in front of him in his heart.
Chen Shuang closed the door for the tired elf, then walked towards the temple gate, recalling the scene just now.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the elf’s eyes seem a little red.
After closing the door completely, Shen finally relaxed and leaned against it tiredly. The dim light of early morning filtered into the room, clearly illuminating his red and swollen eyes.
Wiping away the tears that had fallen, the god composed his expression a little and said self-deprecatingly, "What a cowardly elf body."
"If it were a divine body..."
The god stopped talking and looked at the water droplets dripping onto the back of his hand.
A sigh echoed in the room. He looked out the window at the sky and said softly, "...He probably feels heartbroken too."

Chen Shuang followed the system's prompts and found the plant growing in the crack of the floor. The tender green seedling with a pure white flower on top was swaying slightly. When it sensed someone approaching, it excitedly shook its few leaves.
The already sparse leaves were shaken off by it and fell to the ground. Xiao Miao touched his head and immediately covered his head in fear.
[Current "Unknown Seed" growth progress 5%]
After a rough inspection of the temple, Chen Shuang discovered that only the vines and elves seemed to be affected.
Is it a special plant that only targets natural creatures?
She picked up the leaves on the ground and handed them to Xiao Miao: "This is the punishment for doing bad things."
"Every seedling that likes to play pranks will lose its leaves," Chen Shuang glanced up and down at the stunned seedling, then continued, "especially a new seedling like you, I'm afraid you will soon become bald at a young age."
The young seedling took its own leaf in a daze, as if it saw its bare future. Its hands loosened, and it hugged the white flower above its head, wailing in despair and shaking its head.
"Don't want to be bald?"
Xiaomiao nodded vigorously.
Chen Shuang suggested: "If you meet a nature elf with pointy ears here and get along with it well, maybe the situation can be turned around."
Xiao Miao touched his head and nodded in conviction.
In order to grow leaves, it will definitely try its best to have a good relationship with this guy called elf.
This way there won't be any major problems later on.
Chen Shuang stood up straight.
This strange little seedling could actually cause the Dark God to fall. Even though he was now in the body of an elf, this was shocking enough.
Her thoughts turned.
Something related to elves...the Tree of Life?
Suppressing his thoughts, Chen Shuang closed the system's prompt interface, but stopped when he was about to exit completely.
She looked up.
The key on the [Adventure] interface changes from 0 to 2, hanging brightly at the top of the page.
This is the first time I have seen two adventure keys appear at the same time.
Chen Shuang didn't pause and directly pressed the adventure button.
The dark blue door on the page slowly opened as usual, and the obscure and complex patterns depicted unknown possibilities.
The system made a "ding dong" sound.
[In the process of adventure, please wait patiently]
Almost in the next second, there was a knock on the outermost iron door of the temple, and a strange, rough and hoarse voice shouted inside, "Is anyone there?"
Chen Shuang moved her gaze downwards, and a familiar red-orange figure appeared before her.
The orc boy with a platinum forehead band raised his hand and knocked on the door. The small golden bells in his fiery red hair jingled, and along with the crisp sound of the bells, the rough and sturdy man's voice continued to sound: "Is anyone there?"
The furry fox ears stretched back, seeming a little nervous. He took a deep breath and continued to knock on the door.
The rough man who could eat ten loaves of bread in one meal shouted loudly: "Excuse me, is there anyone here——"
Chen Shuang blinked: "?"
Is the voice change period of orcs so scary?
Using this kind of voice to make someone look like a green tea will only get half the result with twice the effort.
Imagine the high-end green tea girl falling to the ground whimpering, and then opening her mouth, the rough man said in a weak voice: "I'm so stupid, I can't even do this little thing, you won't blame me, will you?"
Chen Shuang rubbed her brows and tried to calm herself down.
The damage is almost the same as that of the Muscle Fish.
There was still knocking on the door outside the iron railings.
The weak fox bit her lip, turned around and whispered, "Gems, can you please stop talking for a while?"
A pitch-black bird head suddenly popped out from the bag behind him. The sleek crow shook its feathers, stepped onto the orc's shoulder, and loudly refused: "No!"
The gruff voice said clearly, "Knock loudly, and let the great Black Feather King play the path to sainthood for you."
The crow spread its wings and flaunted the words it had just learned: "Open the door quickly! A fox is coming to visit. Please come and prepare the bed for him. It will be a real honor to our humble home!"
The crow nodded with satisfaction: "I am really knowledgeable. Don't worry, little fox, they will definitely come to open the door as soon as possible."
fox:"……"
Will he really not be kicked out soon?
Ahhh, I feel like my hair is about to explode with annoyance!
Chen Shuang cast flying magic and landed quickly, looking at the bitter-faced red fox and the complacent crow.
The system prompts in my mind.
