I would rather betray the gods

In the meeting room, Taurus told Yuzu that he knew the purpose of his trip.

But he also told Yuzu that he didn't want to help her, neither emotionally nor logically.

Because inner demons are Pisces's tribulations, Pisces's own business, and Taurus shouldn't offend another family for someone else's sake.

Moreover, it remains unknown whether the inner demon has actually reshaped the physical body.

However, Taurus will not refuse Yuzu's visit. As long as Yuzu gives a reason that will move him, Taurus will consider casting a vote for Pisces.

Since it was all about reason and logic, Yuzu didn't concern himself with grand principles; he simply asked Taurus a question in return.

He asked Taurus how long he could stay in a perpetually dark space without breaking down.

Taurus thought for a moment and said that he had done similar training before, but he could not last more than a year and almost went crazy.

Yuzu smiled slightly and said that she could persist for a thousand years or even longer.

That's ridiculous! How many years have you been reincarnated as a mortal? Taurus really wants to kick him out.

"Since the day I was born, I lost the one I loved, and my soul has wandered in a desolate place where there is no daylight for a thousand years. Moreover, my soul has not gone mad. As long as there is a thought left, I will continue to search."

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and tears welled up in Yuzi's eyes uncontrollably.

Then he smiled slightly, as if he was laughing at how worthwhile the suffering was. "Now I have found her, but because of my inner demons, I don't dare to see her even once."

I don't know what a demon is, whether it's good or bad, but it threatens the person I love, so why should I let it go? To protect the person I love and to see the person I love again, shouldn't I do everything in my power to destroy it?

Taurus was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then silently took out a gold flip-top photo frame from his pocket.

Inside is a photo of him and his wife.

Thinking of the countless years his wife had silently supported and encouraged him, enabling him to achieve what he has today, he fell silent...

I'm back. What do you want to say?

It was truly a meeting of minds. Just as Youzi was sitting in a corner of the library, holding a book in one hand and her phone in the other, anxiously waiting for Fang Yuan's message, Fang Yuan's message arrived in the back office.

Yuzu hurriedly picked up her phone and typed, "I want to date you."

You have to look at how thick the steel is; even thin sheets can be rolled up. The "steel-loving straight man" realized this directness was inappropriate, so he deleted the line and changed it to: "Getting home so late, you must be exhausted. Did you eat?"

1. I wiped my grandpa's body, and he was embarrassed. What's wrong with that? Everyone gets old eventually.

Turning him over was the most tiring part, but when I thought about how much he loved me when I was little, I gritted my teeth and persevered. 】That's what Fang Yuan did, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to show Youzi how filial she was.

【2. I ate.】Actually, she didn't eat. She was making dumplings with her mom. If she didn't say that, Yuzu would make her eat first. She couldn't wait for Yuzu to tell her what she wanted to say.

[I told you during the day that I had something to say, so I'm saying it now!] Yuzu's heart was pounding.

[Hurry up and say it, you're acting all coy like a young lady.] There's no way around it, Fang Yuan likes the person she likes no matter what, and she doesn't mind Youzi's lack of assertiveness.

After sending the message, she simply put down what she was doing and stared intently at her phone, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"You watch it all day and all night, you can't get enough of it, you might as well marry your phone."

As she spoke, Fang Yuan's mother forcefully pinched out a dumpling, showing both love and concern for her eldest daughter.

Fang Yuan squinted her big eyes, frowned, and glared at her mother, looking mischievous.

Thinking of how Yuzi often praised her in the live stream (for being quirky and clever), she couldn't help but smile.

I...I want to have a relationship with you, the kind that's indefinitely planned.

Oh my god~ Yuzu basically used another finger to hold down the finger that was sending the message before she could send it, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat after she finished.

Even though he knew perfectly well that things would fall into place naturally, he still couldn't believe he was experiencing something like this, and he wasn't sure how Fang Yuan would respond to the message, or if she would change her mind because of the heartbreak she had experienced a few days ago.

"yeah!"

Compared to Youzi's wrinkled and overthinking nature, Fang Yuan is much more straightforward and outspoken. Upon seeing Youzi's confession, she jumped for joy and beamed with happiness.

At that moment, it was as if a bright light pierced through the clouds and shone down on the earth, and the whole hall of flowers swayed happily.

"What?! You scared me! If you don't make dumplings soon, we won't have a hot meal."

Regardless of why her daughter was happy, Fang Yuan's mother smiled along with her.

"I'm not eating, you guys eat. I'm going to marry 'cell phone'."

As she spoke, Fang Yuan patted the flour off her hands, picked up her phone, ran to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then ran back to her room.

"Even if you're not eating, you should at least help wrap some. The food won't be ready when your dad gets back!"

Fang Yuan's mother was utterly helpless.

"Why don't you just buy enough food for two people? I already told you I'm not eating."

Fang Yuan poked her head out of the door and said something, then immediately closed and locked the door.

In the room, she could not contain her joy and lay on the bed, laughing almost hysterically.

"Is the child alright? I'll take you to ask the fortune teller tomorrow if he's been bewitched by something!"

Outside, Fang Yuan's mother looked worried.

Fang Yuan then realized that she had been laughing a little too loudly without even realizing it.

After a long period of calm.

Without any pretense or hesitation, she replied directly to Yuzu: "Okay, I agree."

I hurt your feelings the other day, aren't you going to yell at me a couple of times to vent your anger?

The success seemed to come out of nowhere. Thinking back to the beating she had given Fang Yuan a few days ago, Youzi felt a little sorry for her.

...

The message disappeared without a trace. Fang Yuan's promise was quickly forgotten, and she didn't reply to any of the messages Youzi sent. Youzi checked her watch (which was always on Earth time) and saw that it was her usual live broadcast time, but she wasn't broadcasting. Her heart was filled with turbulent emotions that she couldn't calm down.

Little did they know, on the other side of the starry sky, by the window, the soul of a beautiful girl was blossoming in her heart.

That night, Fang Yuan stared blankly at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, dreaming that her future home with Youzi would also radiate warm light.

When Yuzu didn't receive any news, she took it all as Fang Yuan punishing herself.

In any case, he was happy.

He put his legs up on the table, placed a book on his head, and imagined himself and Fang Yuan walking hand in hand down the street someday.

"Who's so rude, behaving like this while reading a book?"

The head steward, carrying a classic book, happened to pass by and questioned him.

Yuzu pulled the book down a little, revealing her eyebrows and eyes, and looked at him with a blank expression.

"Second...Second Master?"

Because Yuzi rarely wears Hanfu, the head housekeeper didn't recognize her at all.

Having interrogated his own god-king, he slunk away and sat down opposite the pomelo.

"What are you looking at?" Yuzu moved her book aside and followed the butler's gaze, shaking her clothes.

"Second Master looks really handsome in this outfit. If he were to activate his demigod mode, he would be absolutely amazing."

The head butler, speaking from the heart, now appeared to be flattering someone who was in the wrong.

"The maids washed all my Earth clothes while I was at the Taurus Palace, so I can only wear the ones left by Zifeiyu. But since it's from my past life, the size is just right."

Everyone is afraid of being praised, and Yuzi was secretly delighted.

"What was the outcome of this trip?" the head steward asked hastily.

"God King Taurus said he would consider it."

This reply would be considered full of official politeness on Earth, which annoyed Yuzu, so she asked again, "What about Scorpio?"

"It's estimated that Granny Paladin has already arrived at Scorpio Palace."

The head butler took out his pocket watch to check the time.
