The God of Destruction cursed and dragged the God of Emotions away.
Xiao Wu unceremoniously sat on the chair vacated by Rong Nianbing, leaned close to the goddess of life, and said with a wicked smile: "Hehe, you bad woman who likes to see your husband jealous, tell me the truth, did you do it on purpose?"
"Yes." The Goddess of Life also smiled, with an especially soft look in her eyes. She whispered, "Xiao Zi was so cute just now... No wonder people say that being jealous can help maintain the sweetness of a relationship."
She and the God of Destruction have lived together for billions of years. This is almost the first time she has seen the God of Destruction with possession and jealousy written so clearly on his face... It's really cute.
"Xiaolu, you've also learned bad things, hehe." Xiaowu's eyes curved and a playful smile appeared on her face.
Although she has become a mother, the pink-dressed lady still smiles like the girl who just stepped out of the stars...but few people know the changes in her heart.
"Come to think of it, why did the God of Emotions come to see you?" Xiao Wu asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"You also know that my golden tree can see the situation in the lower world. The God of Emotions wants to find a successor, but it is not easy to ask the God Realm Committee to use the Eye of the God Realm, so he comes to me for help." The Goddess of Life smiled and lightly avoided the line of Douluo World that she had tied for Rong Nianbing.
Xiao Wu nodded in realization and felt relieved, not realizing at all that the Goddess of Life was hiding something - after all, she didn't like or was good at doing this kind of thing, she only asked this question for Tang San's sake.
The third brother had always wanted to win over the God of Emotions to his side, but the God of Destruction seemed to have been trying to compete with the third brother. She was not very clear about the specific undercurrents, after all, she was not qualified to attend those core meetings, and Tang San was very protective of her and never told Xiao Wu about the things that worried him.
But Xiao Wu still felt a little guilty. After all, the Goddess of Life was also her friend, but... nothing was more important to her than Tang San.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." The Goddess of Life saw the change in Xiao Wu's expression and calmly poured her a cup of tea. A green branch of a plant carefully brought up a plate of snacks. "Try some. This is a bribe from the God of Emotions. But I haven't agreed to lend him the golden trees in the underworld."
"Hmm, delicious!" Xiao Wu picked a piece of orange dessert, which happened to be carrot flavored, and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. After hearing what the goddess of life said, the last bit of doubt in her heart disappeared.
Xiao Wu laughed evilly and moved closer to the Goddess of Life. "Xiao Lu, you should get more delicious food from the God of Emotions. It's not easy to eat the delicious food he makes."
"Where is your little devil star? Why didn't she come with you? I specially left some for Xiaoqi to take back." The Goddess of Life smiled and asked.
Tang Xiaoqi is a rare child in the divine world, and is extremely close to both her and Destruction. Life and Destruction, who have no biological children, truly love that child.
"Don't mention it. Xiao Qi secretly ran off to the lower world to play by himself." Xiao Wu sighed. "Before, I always thought that if the child was gone, I could live in a world of my own with my third brother. But Xiao Qi really left home. I am the one who is most uncomfortable with it..."
"When?" The Goddess of Life was a little surprised.
It is no small matter for a person from the God Realm to go down to the mortal world without permission, not to mention that Xiao Qi has inherited the Butterfly Goddess. ...But after all, she has not completed the inheritance, and is not a formal god. She is also Tang San's daughter, so this matter can be a big deal or a small one. In comparison, the Goddess of Life is more worried about Xiao Qi's safety.
"When I went to her room yesterday morning, she was gone." Xiao Wu said sullenly.
The Goddess of Life frowned, "Didn't the Sea God bring her back?"
"No." Xiao Wu shook her head and said gloomily, "Xiao Qi went to the hometown of my third brother and me, Douluo World. Third brother told Xiao Qi to gain experience in Douluo World before coming back... Anyway, there are descendants of my third brother's old friends in Douluo World, so someone will take care of Xiao Qi."
“How can this be possible?” The Goddess of Life widened her eyes in shock. “One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year on Earth! Xiao Qi is not even a priestess now. She is just a child and her strength has not reached its peak. If she leaves the God Realm, she will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of time in the lower world!”
Time will not affect gods. A god can go to the underworld and stay there for 18 million years without getting old, but Xiao Qi, who has not completed the inheritance of the throne, is definitely not among them!
"Yes, when Xiao Qi comes back...she will be grown up." Xiao Wu said with a smile, but her eyes revealed the loneliness that could not be hidden. "Growing up is good, she will be sensible when she grows up."
"Ridiculous!" said the Goddess of Life angrily.
Although she shouldn't interfere with Poseidon and his wife's education of their own child, she truly loved that lovely little girl.
"You just let Tang San mess around? What kind of experience can't you wait until the child grows up?! Xiao Qi will grow up as usual according to the time in the lower world, and as a parent, you will miss the most important time in her life! How can you bear to let a child grow up alone in the mortal world without a father or a mother?"
No matter what kind of life you have, you only have one carefree childhood. The time a child can spend with his parents is so short...
In fact, Xiao Wu was also unwilling to see Xiao Qi descend to the mortal world. It is said that a mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away...but this is the distance between the divine world and the mortal world!
If something happened to Xiaoqi... Although Da Ming and Er Ming would look after Xiaoqi, they went down to the mortal world secretly. If they made too much movement outside Haotian Castle, it would attract the attention of the God Realm. What if Xiaoqi was bullied?
Besides, my third brother is very busy every day and can't always be with me. Only my daughter is always by my side...
But human children are different from rabbits.
Xiao Wu grew up as a rabbit in the Star Forest. She never experienced the childhood of a human child, and her growth experience did not allow her to know how to better understand children or how to better teach them.
Her love for Xiaoqi was clumsy, but no less than that of any other mother in the world.
"Xiao Qi has a bad temper... Going to the lower world can temper her and make her more sensible." Xiao Wu murmured.
She was repeating what Tang San said to her, as if she was explaining to the Goddess of Life, but more like she was convincing herself.
"Xiao Qi has no peers in the God Realm. She needs friends of the same age... You can't see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain. The strength she gained in the God Realm was too smooth after all. She needs hardships to make her strength more solid..."
It’s not that she doesn’t love her daughter or is willing to let her suffer, but she is used to giving in.
Even if two people are in love, conflicts will arise, and in a relationship, one party will inevitably give in. Xiao Wu seems to be acting like a spoiled brat, asking Tang San to do this and that, but her coquettishness is actually within Tang San's permission.
Every time she stepped back, Xiao Wu would tell herself that what her third brother said made sense, that her third brother didn't like to do this, that he had his own plans, and that this would be better for him... She changed her soft skills and killing moves, said goodbye to her relatives who had been with her for tens of thousands of years, changed her personality and way of dealing with people, and tried her best to preserve the Shura Sword despite her inappropriate attributes.
Because she loves Tang San so much.
Her love for Tang San made her habitually take this step back, but this time Xiao Wu still had some grudges in her heart.
But no matter how unhappy she was with Tang San's decision, she would not express her thoughts, and naturally she could not show resentment in front of life.
Feeling that she had said something out of turn, Xiao Wu took a sip of the tea that the Goddess of Life poured for her and sighed comfortably: "Xiao Lu, your tea is still the best."
The Goddess of Life sighed, added some more tea to her cup, and said meaningfully, "It tastes good, so drink more... This tea contains the power of life, and your body... Sigh, you and your wife had better be more restrained recently, because you can't rush to have a child."
Instead, Xiao Wu almost choked, "Ahem, uh, Xiaolu, did you figure it out?" Then she slapped her forehead and stuck out her tongue, "You're the goddess of life, you must be able to figure it out... But Third Brother doesn't know, so please keep it a secret for me, I don't want him to be sad."
She lowered her head and touched her lower abdomen, where a very weak breath quietly disappeared. "This time it took more than half a month... I thought it was stable this time."
Not all seeds can grow into saplings. The Goddess of Life looked at Xiao Wu with a little pity and a little bit of bitterness in her eyes.
There are many factors that affect the growth of a new life in the mother's belly. In the early stages of pregnancy, most seeds will actually die quietly, being absorbed or excreted by the mother without the mother even noticing.
This is a process that even the goddess of life cannot interfere with - the combination of the blood of both parents is full of uncertainty, and the seeds formed are very likely to grow into deformed seedlings that cannot grow. Such seeds will automatically die and leave the mother body, which is the most basic "inferior selection" of life. *
But for the powerful mother, this process seems a bit cruel.
The stronger your strength, the more control you have over yourself, and the more clearly you will feel a new breath of life being born... and disappearing.
This is far more cruel than never knowing at all.
Even if Xiao Wu's power does not completely belong to her, she has finally reached that level... In fact, Tang San, who is stronger than Xiao Wu and is very close to her, should also know this.
...This is probably a tacit understanding between the Poseidon couple.
However, Xiao Wu's current changes were also slightly different from her previous condition. Her condition seemed to be worse, and her aura was very disordered and unnatural, as if something had disrupted her...
There are some remnants of Poseidon's power... Could it be that Poseidon was too eager?
However, there are too few women in the divine world who can successfully become pregnant. The Goddess of Life lacks an object of comparison and temporarily puts aside her confusion.
"I'll help you recuperate later." The Goddess of Life smiled gently and said.
"Thank you! Xiaolu!"
Me: You have to write a work where there is no absolute villain, and everyone has their own shining points!
Or me: Where the hell is Tang San’s shining point!
It’s also me: Give up!
118. Chapter 116: The Eve of Holiday
118.
2023-10-25
"Finally done it!!" In the space created by the sea of consciousness, Wang Rui threw the feather pen in his hand aside, picked up the parchment and shook it, looked at the spell written on it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
…Don’t ask why parchment and quills, because asking is just a stereotype.
What was written on the parchment was the new contract that Wang Rui had spent a whole year improving, a combination of the magic contract from the world of Divine Seal and the fate contract he had invented himself.
Although the new contract was still a draft, it combined all the advantages of the two contracts and avoided the original defects and shortcomings. It could be said to be the crucial key to unlocking a new future for humans and soul beasts - but neither of the two people present had any intention of celebrating.
Alex took the parchment with a bit of disdain and said, "Look at what you wrote. Not to mention the requirements for casting the spell, the spell alone took up a whole page. The chanting time is longer than that of the ninth-level forbidden spell. Contract magic only requires one rune and one spell. How can you popularize it?"
“We can change it later.” Wang Rui said nonchalantly.
He stretched and yawned. Improving the contract was not easy. After working hard for a whole year, Wang Rui felt that his brain cells were about to be burned out by the complex magic runes. He did not want to modify the draft of the new contract at all.
"Anyway, we've already figured it out, and we finally have a workable formula. We'll slowly experiment and improve it, simplify it a little bit, and as we gain experience, the complexity will slowly decrease."
Electrolux rolled his eyes at him with disdain, put the parchment on the table, and started scribbling on it.
Wang Rui suddenly had a vision of his supervisor in his previous life who helped him revise his graduation thesis with a look of disgust. He felt a chill on his back and slipped away quietly.
At this moment, he was sitting in the corridor outside the Soul Guidance Area Laboratory. Huo Yuqing was taking the final exam of the Soul Guidance Department, which was also the exam for promotion to the second-level Soul Guidance Master.
As a family member, Wang Rui was not a student of the Soul Guidance Department, so naturally he could not go in to watch other people's final exams. He could only sit outside the laboratory and wait.
Tomorrow is the official holiday, and there are not many people in the soul guidance area. Although there are thick walls, Wang Rui can still vaguely hear the movement in the laboratory, so he began to guess what stage Huo Yuqing's assessment has reached.
In the laboratory, Huo Yuqing sat next to a huge metal table. Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, the two big bosses of the Soul Guidance Department, stood behind Huo Yuqing, one on the left and one on the right, watching her movements intently like ghosts behind her.
The girl was seen holding a blue-gold hexagonal metal piece about the size of a walnut in her left hand, and a thin knife in her right hand, carefully carving on the metal piece.
Her movements were quick but without any hesitation. The blade made a very slight friction sound and left indentations of varying depths but extremely smooth on the metal surface. The complex lines slowly extended like a spider web.
Huo Yuqing's eyes radiated a light golden glow, focused and determined.
Time passed by minute by minute, but her body seemed to be motionless like a sculpture, even her breathing was extremely light, and only the fingers controlling the carving knife moved with extremely precise amplitude.
When the last line fell, Huo Yuqing let out a long sigh.
The most complex of the second-level core magic arrays has been completed.
Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er looked at each other at this moment. Neither of them said anything, but the amazement in their eyes could not be hidden.
Huo Yuqing did not stop after carving the core magic circle. There was a pile of scattered parts on the table. She grabbed the parts beside her and started to assemble them without thinking. Although the parts on the table looked messy, they seemed to have their own rules. She could accurately get what she wanted every time she reached out. The whole assembly process was as smooth as flowing water.
The prototype of a flying soul guide is emerging bit by bit.
Huo Yuqing installed the last small accessory, then she raised her head and looked at Xian Lin'er.
"Three hours and twenty-three minutes." Xian Lin'er closed her pocket watch and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you have officially passed the Level 2 Soul Instructor Assessment."
As long as she officially obtains the second soul ring, Huo Yuqing will be a second-level soul engineer.
He is not just a half-baked person who can barely make a second-level soul guide device - the flying soul guide device in front of him is made up of several relatively simple small second-level soul guide devices. It is much more complicated than an ordinary soul guide device and may be more difficult to make than some third-level soul guide devices.
Qian Duoduo took the flying soul guide and began to test its performance.
As the soul power was input, the wings of the flying soul guide unfolded to both sides. Compared with ordinary flying soul guides, the wings of the flying soul guide made by Huo Yuqing had one more joint. After unfolding, it looked more like a pair of dragon wings, painted in a bright blue. The halo flowed, and after a slight humming sound, the four jets under the folded wings spewed out bright blue light, providing stable suspension force.
