"The wontons are here, Goddess, eat them while they're hot."
Meng Ji, who had been keeping a low profile, finally spoke up. It was unclear whether he genuinely wanted Chu Xinxin to eat while it was still hot, or if he was trying to salvage the situation by seeing Qing Wu at a disadvantage.
Meng Ji's behavior seems intentional, making two girls fight over him while he enjoys the "adoration."
When he cares more about the one in a weaker position, he steps in to maintain the balance.
Okay, let's get started.
"I drank two large pots of tea early this morning, one green tea and one tea made from leftover tea leaves. I feel a bit bloated and don't want to eat."
Chu Xinxin's face also showed displeasure. She threw the spoon back into the bowl, and the soup splashed onto Meng Ji's sleeve.
Meng Ji's face darkened, and his voice turned cold: "Goddess, this is what I ordered for you. Finish it."
It was estimated that Meng Ji had used the incantation technique again, and Chu Xinxin felt an invisible pressure, but that pressure was immediately dispelled by the coolness brought by the dragon ball.
Chu Xinxin sneered: "Are you ordering me around?"
The incantation technique didn't work, and a hint of surprise flashed in Meng Ji's eyes before he quickly recovered: "No, I just think you're being a bit too willful, Goddess. If it were anyone else, they might be angry by now..."
Still want PUA?
Chu Xinxin suddenly stood up, lowered her eyes to look at Meng Ji and Qing Wu: "We are not married yet, Lord Meng Ji, why don't you choose someone else who suits you?"
Meng Ji had probably never been treated like this before, especially in front of another woman who admired him.
He stood up as well, his tone chilling: "Since the goddess intends to break off the engagement, then I, Meng, will never presume to marry her! Qingwu, let's go."
After Meng Ji finished speaking, he turned and left.
Clean and efficient, as if they wished to cut everything in two.
but!
He walked very slowly, which was completely at odds with his angry face, as if he was waiting for Chu Xinxin to come up and try to stop him.
But even after walking quite a distance, he still didn't hear Chu Xinxin's voice.
Meng Ji looked back, but couldn't see Chu Xinxin anywhere.
The incantation technique just failed, even though the mark of the incantation technique was still on the goddess...
strangeness.
Meng Ji stopped and pondered.
Qingwu, who was secretly pleased with herself, suddenly felt a pang of unease. She took a quick step forward and lightly punched Mengji in the chest twice, pretending to comfort him, saying, "There are plenty of fish in the sea. Since the goddess doesn't like us, let's go back to our hometown. There are plenty of good girls who want to marry you."
Seeing the love hidden in Qingwu's eyes, Mengji temporarily suppressed his doubts.
He sighed and first comforted Qingwu: "You are still the best after all."
"That's right!" Qingwu felt a surge of excitement, and the words of confession were on the tip of her tongue when Mengji said—
"The goddess probably doesn't like you, so you should appear less often in the future."
Qingwu's face turned pale instantly: "Mengji! We're as close as siblings, and you're going to kick me out for a woman you've only known for a short time?"
"I didn't mean to kick you out, I just wanted you to stay out of my sight for a while..."
"Mengji, the arrow wound on my leg hasn't healed yet!"
Qingwu's eyes were wet, clearly indicating that she had suffered a great injustice.
Meng Ji was silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled Qingwu into his arms: "I know what you're thinking, but the important matter isn't settled yet. Just consider this helping me out. After it's done, you can have whatever you want..."
......
On the other side.
When Chu Xinxin returned to the Divine Palace, she saw her chief guard, Xie Zhi, leading several young men toward her.
“Goddess! This is the priest’s newly chosen attendant for you.”
Chu Xinxin wasn't in a good mood at first, but after glancing at it, she suddenly felt a spring breeze on her face, as if the sunshine had become much brighter.
The boys were tall and handsome, especially the one closest to her, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of innocent yet affectionate puppy eyes. He kept calling her "Goddess Sister," which softened Chu Xin's heart.
"May I have your name?"
The boy smiled sweetly and innocently: "Goddess Sister, my name is Nan Guangyu."
Guang means bright, and Yu also means bright. Looking at his increasingly bright eyes, Chu Xinxin sighed inwardly that he truly lived up to his name.
Nan Guangyu is handsome and has a sweet tongue, making him very likable. He quickly became familiar with everyone in the entire Divine Palace after only a short time.
"Goddess, yesterday Yu Shenshi fought the head guard for an hour and was not at a disadvantage. He was really amazing."
Xiaoxia spoke of Nan Guangyu with great admiration.
Just as Chu Xinxin was about to speak, she suddenly heard two sounds of bamboo being struck.
"Xiaoxia, please help me take these bamboo slips back to the library."
After Chu Xinxin sent Xiaoxia away, she couldn't wait to run to the window. As soon as she peeked out, she saw Nan Guangyu leaning against the wall, a sword in his right hand, a bottle of wine in his left, and a blade of grass in his mouth.
"liquor!"
Chu Xinxin reached out her hand to him.
Nan Guangyu walked over and placed the two jars of wine in Chu Xinxin's hands: "Goddess Sister, I've been queuing for a long time, what reward do you have for me?"
Chu Xinxin opened the jar and took a sip; it was from her favorite shop on West Street.
What do you want?
Nan Guangyu thought for a moment and said, "Goddess, I've heard that there have been frequent strange occurrences in the Abyss Land recently, and it seems that a treasure is about to appear. If you have time, could you take me there to see the world?"
Chu Xinxin didn't want to go, but when she met Nan Guangyu's expectant eyes, she couldn't utter a single "no".
......
The capital city has become increasingly lively recently due to the upcoming wedding of the goddess.
Everywhere you look on the streets, you can hear people talking about this grand event—
"Hey, have you met that Master Mengji?"
"I've seen her, she's very beautiful."
"I heard that the goddess has no interest in the position of clan leader. After she marries Lord Mengji, Lord Mengji will be the next clan leader."
"Isn't it obvious? Although the priest said he would leave the divine power to the goddess, once the goddess and Lord Mengji resolve their fates and share the divine power, then the rights will naturally be shared as well."
"Oh God, I really hope the goddess likes me..."
Meng Ji was drinking tea at a tea shop on the street, while two herbalists outside the window were gossiping about their wares.
When he heard the words "divine power sharing," he paused in his tea-drinking.
After that day, the goddess never came to see him again...
The two little gods outside the window are still chatting—
"The goddess is so beautiful and gentle, how could Lord Meng Ji have tolerated her for so long?"
"That's right, that's right. If it were me, I would settle the fate first to avoid any unforeseen problems. Anyway, we gods don't care about those complicated formalities."
"You know what, things might really change. I have a distant relative who works at the temple, and he said that recently a very handsome young man has been following the goddess around. The goddess dotes on him, and even lets him play with the token that represents the goddess's identity..."
Meng Ji couldn't listen to the rest of the conversation anymore.
He called the waiter to settle the bill, and then went to the temple.
Upon arriving at the temple, they were told that the goddess had gone to the abyss.
"Whom did the goddess go with?"
"Naturally, it is Divine Servant Nan Guangyu."
"nature?"
The guard replied matter-of-factly, "Nan Guangyu is the Goddess's number one attendant, so naturally he will do everything personally."
Meng Ji then asked, "The First Divine Servant? What is his strength?"
“Nan Guangyu, the divine servant, possesses formidable divine power, capable of fighting to a standstill with the head guard, and even holding out against the priest for half an hour. Given time, he will surely be able to rival the priest!”
Is his strength that high?
It should be noted that the Chief of the Guards is among the top ten strongest of the gods.
"Really? You're very good-looking?" Meng Ji asked casually.
"Yes, I've never seen anyone more handsome than Nan Guangyu, the Divine Servant. He's just as good-looking as the Goddess when they walk together..."
Unwittingly, the guard also subtly criticized Meng Ji.
Powerful, handsome, a divine servant, and always by the goddess's side...
Meng Ji's heart sank, and alarm bells rang loudly—
A formidable rival!
