I would rather betray the gods

Chapter 15 Three Feet of Heart

In a dark, secluded alley.

"What bad luck, how did that kid know it was me?" The young man who had his hair cut off muttered to himself as he counted his spoils.

After thinking it over, he suspected that the problem was discovered because of a hole in his backpack, so he checked the backpack again.

As he was watching, a discarded aluminum can rolled to his feet.

The crisp, metallic clanging sound was particularly jarring in this deserted alley.

The young man was shocked. A strong feeling told him that there was a pair of eyes staring at him menacingly from behind!

"Who!" He turned around abruptly and saw Yuzu. Seeing that it was the person who had just helped him with his hair, half of his fear dissipated. "Heh, who do we have here? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've come to my door yourself."

No wonder the young man was so fearless; after all, Yuzi's refined appearance gave people the impression that he was not very strong in combat.

Moreover, Yuzu's awakening was an "unconventional" one. His special way of becoming a god created his unique form. As long as he doesn't use the power of stars, he is basically no different from an ordinary person.

"You have such great superpowers, yet you choose to be a scoundrel. Did your family teach you the opposite of what you should do?" Yuzu asked slowly and deliberately.

The young man was quite shocked after hearing this, because most ordinary people don't know about superpowers, so the other person was probably also a superpowered individual.

But the young man was extremely puzzled, because no matter how he looked at it or sensed it, he felt that the pomelo in front of him was just an ordinary person.

Little did they know that he was probing the sea with a needle. How could a needle on the seabed sense the waves and surges on the surface of the sea, thousands of meters above the surface?

Therefore, the young man concluded that Yuzu was one of the few ordinary people who knew about superpowers, and gradually regained his arrogant demeanor. "Young man, you probably haven't learned the consequences of meddling in other people's business, have you?"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed toward Yuzi at an extremely fast speed.

So fast was the speed that even the stray cat in the corner didn't notice someone passing by it. Only the wind that followed made the stray cat belatedly meow.

The light here is so dim that ordinary people wouldn't even be able to see my shadow clearly, haha!

As the young man thought this, a smug smile crept onto his lips.

As soon as he got in front of Yuzi, he punched her in the temple.

With a "snap," the final scene was even more unsettling than the youth's speed.

How could this be!

The young man broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at the hand that Yuzi was holding his wrist.

"You firmly believe that you are so fast that you will never be detected, so you attack me without any scruples."

Your abilities have not only made you lazy and gluttonous, but they've also corrupted your heart.

Yuzu kept her head slightly lowered, the dim light obscuring any outline of her eyebrows. Her words were calm, but her sinister aura exuded intense anger.

"Dude, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

The young man suddenly realized that the other party was a tough nut to crack, and changed his attitude to pleading.

"I was originally planning to have you return the items to their owners one by one and that would be fine," Yuzu said calmly, shaking her head.

"Then what do you want?" The young man was on the verge of tears.

How is it?

Let's hand you over to the police.

In the blink of an eye, Yuzu brought the young man to the police station even faster than before, so fast that the young man's body couldn't take it and he vomited as soon as they arrived at the station...

When Youzi returned to the food street, she found that it was already very late and all the stalls had closed.

He only knew that he would have to rely on snacks to fill his stomach again tonight.

But when he walked past the pancake stall, he was surprised to find that the pancake he had ordered was hanging on the stall's frame.

Every night when all is quiet, you can see some elderly people living alone who make a living by collecting recyclables.

But they would rather rummage through filthy trash cans for a single plastic bottle than steal the food they might have earned by scavenging garbage all night.

Some people are dirty inside, while others are dirty simply because of the pressures of life.

The comparison before and after left Yuzu with a myriad of emotions...

Back home, Yuzu lay in bed, wide awake.

Outside the window, the lights of thousands of homes shone brightly.

Every lit window represents a warm and happy family.

Yuzu imagines a thousand homes and a thousand scenes to drive away the loneliness that inevitably comes when the night is deep and quiet.

He would sometimes stare blankly at the stars in the sky, wondering why God had left him alone on earth.

Yuzu was incredibly envious and jealous when she thought about how the young man next door was going back to his hometown to get married.

Feeling agitated, he turned on his phone and started browsing posts and reading news to pass the time.

After a short while, he impatiently threw the phone away.

I didn't expect him to be in such a bad mood tonight.

He lay there blankly for a while, then suddenly remembered that his older sister had downloaded a lot of popular apps for him.

With a try-it-out mentality, he picked up his phone and opened one of them.

Registration successful, then I started watching videos.

It's alright. There are things I like and things I dislike. After looking at it a few more times, the big data will naturally help me filter out the things I don't like. Overall, it's acceptable.

Keep in mind that while he was making such a judgment, a three-year-old child had already filmed countless videos of him just passing by.

He's only just starting out with things that everyone else has already done; that shows how low he is!

But that doesn’t mean he was intellectually barren. From a young age, he aspired to explore the vast universe and harbored a different kind of magnificent world in his heart.

At the same time, in Pisces.

"Isn't our second master strange? He's completely different from what I imagined."

Ordinary people who obtain the power of the stars would surely use it to have fun, but Second Master went down to the mortal realm as if nothing had happened, as if his return was just a dream.

Banlan stared at the pomelo in the mirror, her brows furrowed.

"I said Second Master is quite normal, but you activated the [Galaxy Eye] on your own to satisfy your own selfish desires."

This is a shared treasure of the Twelve Divine Kings' Palaces, and it is explicitly forbidden to spy on it.

The person who answered was the low-key head butler of the Pisces constellation, a handsome man with glasses, a refined appearance, long hair without ears, and wearing the latest style shirt.

"Whether the treasure is in the Pisces Palace or not, it belongs to the Pisces Palace. Besides, spaces that are not allowed to be seen are naturally protected by barriers. If there are no barriers, what's the point of keeping this broken mirror?"

Banlan huffed and puffed as she patted the "Galaxy Eye" inlaid on a stone statue.

"That's true, but there are always inconvenient times. I wonder what Second Master would think if he knew that a treasure was shining on him while he was taking a bath."

The head butler wore a wry smile, watching as Banlan slapped the mirror a few times, her face breaking out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, "Women are the same, humans and gods alike."

"I... I don't watch all the time. If I happen to see Second Master taking a bath, I'll turn my head away!" Before she finished speaking, her freckled little face turned as red as a little apple.

"Looks like you've seen Second Master completely naked? Cough cough~ I mean, Second Master accidentally exposed himself in 'Galaxy Eye'? He, he really doesn't care about his image."

The head steward of the Pisces Palace can control everything, from the heavens to the earth to the air, but he can't control the God King and the woman in front of him. He can only express his protest on behalf of Yuzu in the most subtle way possible.

A perfectly good topic suddenly veered into such an awkward dead end.

For a moment, the stone platform where the [Eye of the Galaxy] was placed fell silent...

Achoo!

Yuzu, who was watching videos, suddenly sneezed.

He pulled the blanket up, feeling sleepy, so he put down his phone, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

He had a strange dream while he was fast asleep.

In a misty, cloud-shrouded realm, the woman whose features were obscured and who smiled faintly reappeared.

Last time, her laughter alone made him inexplicably feel a sense of goodwill towards her.

Her face was still not visible this time, but her figure was clearly outlined.

In his dream, he was still clumsy and couldn't catch up with the woman no matter what he did.

In his anxiety, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

"You, you're the person in the portrait!"

He remembered that the woman's clothes were extremely similar to the portrait that Zifeiyu treasured!

Perhaps he was right, for the woman stopped walking and stood with her back to the pomelo, waiting.

good chance!

Yuzu hurriedly chased after him.

But just as he was about to pass through the woman's side and see her face, he woke up again.

I only dreamt about it for a short while, so why is it already 8:30 in the morning?

Yuzu sat up reluctantly, staring blankly at the clock on the wall...
