Bai Xi kept her eyes down and didn't say a word the whole time, only moving slightly when she heard Philomona make a sound.
She tried to pull her hand away, but it was no use. Nophiel didn't seem to have any intention of letting go of her, so she could only whisper to Nophiel.
"do you like me?"
If Nofeel were to look at her face at this moment, she would see that she had closed her eyes to prevent various distracting thoughts from disturbing her hard-won return to rationality. However, even so, her thoughts were still chaotic and disordered.
Why did he suddenly want me to be his bride? Is it because my strength has increased? Or is there another purpose?
Nophiel must have his reasons for doing this. No, I can't let my lust for her get the better of me... He must have something in mind.
Although Bai Xi didn't think Nophiel had any ulterior motives towards her, that was all. If a scheming God of Light was willing to offend the other six gods and make her his 'bride', then he must have ulterior motives.
That's why she asked that question.
Talking about feelings with a god is ridiculous. If Nophiel denies it, she can get away unscathed.
Bai Xi didn't want to have any emotional entanglements with God, just as she always avoided other people's admiration for her, and she never felt that someone like her was suitable for love.
Although Eros said I need to be in a relationship, it doesn't necessarily have to be with a god.
I hope Nophiel can be rational and let me go.
Otherwise, in my current state...
Her thoughts came one after another, sometimes quite chaotic, but what she didn't know was that Nophiel received them all and even gleaned very useful information from her confused thoughts.
With victory in sight, he simply ignored Philomona's obstruction and instead spoke softly to Bai Xi in a more sincere and deceptive tone.
“Even if your status as the Holy Maiden of Light was just an accident, you are still my god, and of course I adore you.”
Because Bai Xi was avoiding his gaze, Nofeel used a little force to press Bai Xi's chin against his and force him to look at him, so that Bai Xi could see his expression clearly, and he could also see the surprise and confusion in Bai Xi's eyes.
At this distance, she could almost feel the other's breath. An uncontrollable desire seemed to be urging Bai Xi to do something, after all, beauty was right in front of her.
'He admires you, he loves you, and a handsome god willingly worships you as his deity. Don't you really want to accept him?'
'Your God loves you with all his heart, wouldn't it be wonderful to be in a relationship with someone like him? He's far more suitable than any other unreliable person.'
Bai Xi's mind was completely dominated by an emotion called 'love'.
Even Nofel himself didn't expect that his beloved, who was hesitating and struggling in his arms, would actually stand on tiptoe and kiss his lips.
The soft touch on his lips almost stunned Nophiel, who had been in complete control. He, who had always been in the dominant position, had never imagined that he would be put on the defensive.
However, no matter what, if someone he admires kisses him first and he doesn't react, then he's not a real man.
Almost simultaneously, Nofeel's slender fingertips pressed against the back of Baixi's head, his fingers plunging into her silky black hair, deepening the kiss.
All the surrounding sounds fell silent because of Bai Xi's actions. The gods and Philomona stared blankly at this scene, which was completely unexpected.
Putting aside what Nofeel did, whether he was right or wrong, it's unbelievable that Baixi would take the initiative to kiss someone.
"..."
This moment of stillness was the calm before the storm; Norfield had only kissed Baixi for a fleeting instant.
Above the Elemental Source Realm, a second war of gods erupted within seconds, and its terror surpassed even the previous struggle for divine thrones.
No matter how powerful and capable Nophiel was, she couldn't withstand the attack of the other seven gods, and the defensive barrier shattered in an instant.
The twin gods and the earth god Arunta, who had been holding their own and waiting to reap the benefits, launched an attack without hesitation. One could even see the look of annoyance on their faces, but the scene was too chaotic for anyone to notice.
The sound of magic booming reached Bai Xi's ears, and her reason finally returned.
She only felt a dazzling array of magical light before her eyes, mixed with divine power, but none of it harmed her. It all rushed towards Nofel, but being at the center of the bombardment, it was inevitable that her eyes would be dazzled.
Before Bai Xi could figure out what was happening, she suddenly felt light as a succubus ball lifted her up and carried her away from the terrifying center of the battlefield.
Philomona's irritable voice still rang in her ears.
"You! You! You can't do this even if you like them! These guys obviously like you, and you kissed one of them in front of everyone—are you trying to start a war of the gods?"
Her tone of disappointment finally made Bai Xi remember what she had done.
In an instant, Bai Xi's face turned bright red.
She actually fell for Nofel's charm and kissed him?!
"No, no, no, it was just an accident!"
She was extremely frantic. Who knew that Nofel would suddenly lift her face like that? Now things were really complicated.
"You need to think of something quickly to stop them!"
Philomona watched the ferocious and unstoppable divine war in the distance, dragged Baixi to a safe place, and held her forehead, filled with deep helplessness.
It's no longer a matter of whether her son can win Bai Xi's favor, but whether the continent of Coral can survive today.
Bai Xi stared stiffly at Nofel, who was being besieged not far away. As time passed, he became more and more disheveled, but he showed no intention of admitting defeat and leaving. He even managed to exchange a second of eye contact with her and reveal a bright smile.
What followed was an even more ferocious attack.
"..."
Bai Xi landed on a cloud, and shockwaves from the divine power swept past her in waves. She sensed that something was beyond her expectations.
After all, if the other gods only wanted to ask her questions, they probably wouldn't have exploded on the spot after Nophiel kissed her.
So... could it be that all of them like her?
Bai Xi nearly broke down upon reaching this conclusion.
What on earth is going on?
She never even considered that possibility, nor did she intend to develop a romantic relationship with a deity. How did things turn out like this?
However desperate and broken she may be, she is now at the center of the storm, and if she just stands by and does nothing, things will only get worse.
Finally, she mustered her courage and spoke to the men who were bombarding each other with questions.
"Stop fighting..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Bai Xi felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig her toes into the ground. She never expected that she would say something so melodramatic.
