Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3891 The Truth Behind the Arrow
The Inventors' Conference of Mist and Clouds was a spectacular event in the divine realm. It was not only jointly organized by the three major academic factions, but also presided over by the hermit Keldon, and was open to all inventors in the entire divine realm.

It's fair to say that if the Mist were shot down during the Inventors' Conference, the Mist Mechanical Civilization of the God Realm would be put on hold, and it might not be able to recover for another thirty years.

If you feel capable and confident in your invention, you can attend the Inventors Conference in Wulan. A three-person judging panel composed of professional scholars will carefully evaluate your work.

If you're worried that your work might be overlooked by the judging panel, don't worry, you can apply for a second review to have another three-person judging panel re-evaluate your work. During the conference, we will strive to protect the rights of every inventor.

Furthermore, established forces such as the Li Yun Merchant Guild (which has been dismantled), the Demon Strike Team, the Mei Lun Zhi Yun, and the Wandering Association will all appear during the Inventors' Conference to seek out outstanding works and inventors for collaboration.

One can imagine that if one could gain the favor of these powerful forces, one's future would undoubtedly be bright and promising, full of promise, leading to a golden path and the exhilarating feeling of riding a horse and admiring the flowers.

Therefore, Ye Lin's advice to Chimera was to participate in the Inventors' Conference. As long as she had real talent and performed well at the conference, joining the Clockwork House would not only be a natural progression, but she would also be cultivated as a core student.

Chimera looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, hovering between adulthood and adolescence, and will have plenty of time and opportunities to approach the Rubik's Cube with legitimate reasons.

"It's too slow, really too slow." Chimera shook her head, her hair becoming even more frizzy. She didn't want to think about when she could become a high-ranking member of the Clockwork House, because she wasn't willing to wait even a day longer.

Moreover, a groundbreaking invention is not so easy to come up with. It is normal for it to take several months or even several years from having an idea to having a physical product.

There are only two weeks left until the inventors' conference. That's not enough time, is it? How could I possibly come up with an invention that would shock the entire audience? Do you think farming is like planting seeds in the soil and seeing seedlings in two weeks?

Why was Senior Sister Ruiqi a theorist in the past? It was because she felt that turning the inspiration in her head into real works would take too much time, which was equivalent to wasting her precious life.

She believes that excellent scholars only need to be responsible for generating a continuous stream of ideas and inspirations, while practical implementation is the job of "mediocre" people.

Ruiqi finally couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed Chimera's fluffy short ponytail with both hands, shook it hard, and said through gritted teeth:
"The inventors' conference has been hyped up for half a year, but you knew nothing about it and didn't prepare anything. Who can you blame for that?"

She finally understood that the newspapers the family subscribed to were just things the chimera used to prop up table legs, wrap food, or paste on windows; she never even glanced at the contents.

This leads to an awkward problem: the Dream-Eating Pollen that Ruiqi has is only enough for a month, enough to make the Chimera obedient. After a month, around the time the Inventors' Conference ends, she will go crazy again without the Rubik's Cube.

Excessive use of Dream-Eating Pollen is harmful to the human body; continuous use for about a month is about the limit.

Ye Lin shrugged and laughed:
"Unless you give me something of comparable value, I won't help you exchange the Rubik's Cube with the Clockwork House for Ruiqi's sake. Otherwise, I won't help you steal it."

Before Chimera could speak, Ruiqi quickly raised her voice and warned, "If you say another word of nonsense, I'll throw you out tonight. Girls should take care of their bodies."

Chimera, who had been scolded several times, rolled her eyes. "I might listen to others if they said this, but I have a lot of doubts about what you're saying, senior. A hundred, no, a million doubts."

Although Ruiqi wasn't as tall as Venus, she was still exceptionally tall and striking. She put her arm around Ye Lin's shoulder and said:
“I admit to you that my relationship with Ye Lin in the past may have been mixed with some business dealings, but now we are truly in love.”

Chimera crossed her legs on the sofa, then put her arms around herself, tilted her head slightly, and looked the two of them up and down, saying, "If you do it in front of me, I'll believe you."

"Get up right there!"

Ruiqi gritted her teeth, her emotions, which had just calmed down, almost exploded again. How did this girl's brain circuits come about? Were some of her nerves connected to the wrong places?

"Now, immediately, right now, go back to sleep. These are the only two options. There's no other way." Ruiqi snapped. Either you bring out something worthy of the Rubik's Cube, or you participate in the inventors' conference.

I'm not your mother, and Ye Lin isn't your father. Where do I get so much energy and love to indulge your neuroticism?

"Oh, okay." Chimera looked unhappy and dawdled for half a minute before finally jumping up from the sofa and going back to her room to sleep. It was indeed getting late; the wall clock was pointing to 2:30 in the morning.

Under Ruiqi's angry gaze, Chimera reluctantly walked to the door, then suddenly slapped her forehead, turned around and began to pack up the newspapers in the room, including Wulan's newspaper, Qingyan's evening paper, and Baihai's weekly newspaper. She moved all the newspapers that Ruiqi had subscribed to into her room.

Seeing this, Ruiqi's anger subsided considerably. After all, she was her junior, a young girl not even twenty years old. It wasn't important that she made a mistake; what mattered was that she would admit it and correct it.

Chimera is now showing an attitude of correcting herself. She takes the newspaper back to read, which helps her understand all aspects of the divine realm. She may miss this year's inventors' conference, but that's okay, she's still young and has plenty of opportunities.

Chimera picked up the door she had smashed open from the ground, leaned it against the door frame to barely block out the privacy in the room, and waved to him and Ruiqi, "Good night."

Watching Chimera close the door, Ye Lin asked with a smile:
"Ruiqi, when did she come here?"

“About a week ago, she had nowhere to live, so I let her stay with me as an assistant and I paid her a salary.”

Ruiqi pressed her finger to her forehead and lowered her voice: "Chimera is actually very talented, but just like me before, she can't use her talents in a proper way. Go back and help me think of a solution."

When she saw Chimera carrying newspapers, she immediately softened and even had a thought: to ask the Clockwork House if they sold Rubik's Cubes. If there was a clear price, Chimera would have a goal and motivation to save money.

Alternatively, she could pay for the Rubik's Cube for Chimera first, and then let Chimera pay her back gradually.

Ruiqi was silent for a moment, then said:
"Before I met you, whatever I said or did, I was met with ridicule and sarcasm. When I said that there were highly intelligent individuals among the monsters, everyone laughed at me. They all thought that monsters were just a group of brutal, mindless beasts."

Ultimately, the facts of the divine realm proved that Rachel was right.

That's why Ricky had such patience with the Chimera. She genuinely believed that the Chimera had the talent to challenge the Rubik's Cube, and she hoped that the Chimera would find someone who trusted her.

Ruiqi adjusted her tinted glasses and whispered in his ear:

"Are you staying overnight tonight? But you can't do that kind of thing."

Immediately, Ruiqi gave him a captivating look:

"My problems this month will be resolved in about two or three days. I'll send you a message then, and you can come over and experience the charm of a woman from the divine realm."

Ye Lin remained silent, only touching her rosy and alluring lips, hinting that she might want to eat spicy chicken again.

"Ah……"

Ruiqi rolled her eyes at him, raised her hand to re-tie up her hair that had been stained with paint because of the exploding paint can thrown by the chimera, and then, as she untied her hair tie to check for paint stains, she sneered:

"You always tease me about having big breasts but small hips, saying I lack the charm of a mature woman. I haven't reached any cultivation level yet, and I'm on my period, but you're still craving me like crazy. Is there some kind of pervert hidden in your bones?" After Ye Lin left, Rui Qi carefully brushed her teeth and washed her face before going to bed. Before falling asleep, she was still a little worried about Chimera's condition, so she quietly went over to take a look.

"Have a repairman fix the door tomorrow, and deduct the cost from her salary."

Chimera was fast asleep on the bed, her little face peaceful, her breathing even, and a faint smile on her lips.

"What? When you're not crazy, you're so cute."

Then, Ruiqi saw the thick stack of newspapers used to prop up the bed legs, the very ones she had just moved back to her room.

She suddenly remembered that when Chimera suddenly went crazy tonight, she had taken one of the legs off her bed.

"Chimera!"

Ruiqi couldn't hold back any longer. She used both arms to push the broken door aside, a large black line appearing on her forehead, and angrily said:

"I thought you brought the newspaper back to immerse yourself in reading, but you just used it as a bedpost?!"

The drowsy chimera rolled over and mumbled:

"Otherwise, how can you sleep with a bed missing a leg?"

…………

The Temple of Bellagio, Venus's bedroom.

The moonlight, hazy and dreamlike, transformed into a veil, enveloping a perfect goddess.

When Ye Lin returned, he tiptoed without making a sound, as softly as a feather falling to the ground, and he even temporarily blocked out his own breathing.

Gently climbing into Venus's bed, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his many distracting thoughts, and silently closed his eyes.

Although Venus did not yet allow him to be a "mayfly," she had already broken some of the restrictions between men and women. The two shared the same silk quilt, and he could clearly feel the body heat coming from her, which was not only warm but also carried a faint fragrance.

Just as Ye Lin was about to fall asleep and his thoughts were becoming heavy, Venus's clear, cold voice was like a sudden blizzard in the dead of summer:

"You've come back from another woman's bed."

"what……"

Ye Lin's hair stood on end instantly, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly explained:
Strictly speaking, no.

He definitely didn't sleep in the bed of the beautiful scholar Ruiqi; she ate spicy chicken on the sofa.

Just as Ye Lin continued to wait for Venus to ask him questions, the goddess beside him once again began to breathe softly and evenly, as if she would fall asleep a second after asking him her questions.

After a while, Ye Lin slowly closed his eyes, and then felt a head leaning towards him. He slightly opened his eyes and saw Venus's stunningly beautiful face. Her beautiful hair was smoother than the finest silk, and she was leaning on his shoulder.

However, there is one slightly awkward point: Venus is really too tall, so his feet can only touch Venus's calves.

“Actually, when I used my power to strike you, I made a decision,” Venus suddenly said softly.

"Ok?"

"If the strike of the power of virtue can work perfectly, even if it means being hunted down by fate and Remy, I will take you into hiding and make you my complete possession. You will belong to me alone, we will be each other's only one, and you will be my most loyal dog."

Ye Lin was not at all surprised that Venus would say such a thing. As one of the people who had personally experienced the bet, he certainly knew how terrifying the power of that arrow was.

Any powerful being at the divine realm, regardless of gender, race, or whether they are an outer god, would become Venus's dog if they were to take a direct hit from the power of virtue without any defense.

When he was struck by the arrow, he sensed Venus's true intention. The arrow's power was not aimed at his body, but at his soul, profoundly altering his thinking. Every corner of his memory was filled with the image of Venus.

Even the faces of Hia, Momei, and Celia were gradually distorting and changing, slowly transforming into Venus's face.

This creates the impression that Hia is Venus, Momei is Venus, Mile is Venus... everyone is an incarnation of Venus, the goddess of beauty Venus in multiple identities, accompanying you on your adventures, in your life, and on your journey to godhood...

She is replacing the concept of existence of Hiat and the others in her soul, replacing their identities; she is creating a very terrible illusion, that one person wants to replace everyone.

Venus wanted to take advantage of the agreed-upon "no defenses" to "steal a chicken" and commit a public vehicle misuse right under everyone's noses.

After being shot by the arrow in the night forest, he knew everything. If he hadn't already reached the level of creation, without any defenses, he would probably have become Venus's dog by now.

He didn't reveal it on the spot, nor did he ask Venus about it in private; he kept pretending that it had never happened.

That arrow was a curse called "love," a selfish act by Venus, a selfless act that made him willing to be an enemy of many goddesses. He didn't know how to respond to Venus's love, which was severely distorted but incredibly ardent, like the sun.

He knew he had never been a single-minded person, so it was hard to blame Venus for her passion... Tana occasionally lamented that she had a chance to control the sugarcane back then, but she didn't seize it.

“I’m sorry, I will apologize to everyone again tomorrow,” Venus said.

Ye Lin moved his arm slightly, put his arm around Venus's shoulder, and said:

"It's okay, and... actually, I'm apologizing today because it's already past midnight. I'll stay with you, don't worry, everyone will understand. After all, I'm not a good person either. I love you."

"Is midnight the sign of the start of a new day?" Venus asked, as if waking from a dream.

"Of course, only Beyana plays games and thinks the sign of the next day is six o'clock in the morning."
