Chapter 38: Are you an Evil God? (Extra Chapter 10)
Her consciousness plunged into bottomless darkness. Lu Zhiyin subconsciously reached out a hand, and in her unconscious waving, she grasped something.
Clenching her fist, Lu Zhiyin opened her eyes with some fatigue. What appeared in her vision was a vine. She was dreaming again.
“…”
Getting up from the ground, Lu Zhiyin looked at the light blue Lolita dress she was wearing and the white stockings on her feet.
It was the feeling of standing again after a long time. It was a bit cool beneath her, a dream with substance. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be able to see that so-called deity again.
“…Tsk, I must seek help from the deity.”
She touched her abdomen. The reason she wasn’t stabbed to death by Leng Qing Qiu was likely also due to the so-called deity.
Lu Zhiyin didn’t think her physique could withstand such an injury.
She steadied herself and began to survey her surroundings.
She was currently in a pavilion built of white marble. A few scattered vines hung from the top of the pavilion, and around her were countless clusters of violets.
In the center of the pavilion was a round table and two round stools.
The deity was nowhere to be found for the moment.
Lu Zhiyin had no intention of sitting down. That so-called deity was capricious and always put on an air of superiority.
Lu Zhiyin was unsure of the price she would have to pay for sitting down rashly.
She paced in the pavilion, feeling the sensation of upright walking while anxiously waiting.
She was very anxious. Before she completely fainted, she had clearly heard Leng Qing Qiu’s words.
She absolutely, absolutely could not let Long Qinxin die.
After pacing anxiously for a long time, a fragrant breeze brushed against her face, and the so-called deity finally appeared.
Still dressed in a white robe, her wings were gathered behind her, and a golden halo was above her head, obscuring her face.
Everything about her remained unchanged, still the same as when they first met, but Lu Zhiyin was no longer the same.
She had become covered in wounds.
“Long time no see…”
Looking at the deity before her, Lu Zhiyin didn’t quite know how to speak.
Her social anxiety was still the same.
“It hasn’t been that long, actually, only a few days.”
The divine maiden scanned Lu Zhiyin from top to bottom, her expression somewhat subtle.
“You’ve changed quite quickly; you’re even wearing a dress now.”
“…”
There was a hint of mockery in the words of the so-called deity, which made Lu Zhiyin feel awkward and unsure how to respond.
“…Tsk.”
Seeing Lu Zhiyin’s awkwardness, the deity felt a bit bored and sat down on a stone stool.
“You’re quite smart, knowing not to sit before I arrive. Sit down.”
Rarely without airs, the divine maiden pointed to the stone stool opposite herself.
“Um… thank you.”
Lu Zhiyin thanked her softly and sat down, feeling a little wary.
“You had a near-death experience today. I say, don’t die so quickly; I haven’t found enough fun yet.”
As the deity spoke, Lu Zhiyin thought that she had indeed survived Leng Qing Qiu’s stab because of the deity.
Everything was just for fun, whether it was sending her into this world or watching her suffer.
“Are you an evil god?”
She couldn’t help but ask the question.
“Who knows?”
Unexpectedly, the divine maiden opposite her did not show any anger.
“Perhaps. If you’re willing, then consider me an evil god. Anyway, no one worships me, and I don’t care about your opinions at all. Honestly, I really don’t know why my parents cared about the opinions of you little bugs, when crushing you is as easy as lifting a hand.”
Propping her chin, the young deity looked into Lu Zhiyin’s eyes.
As she spoke the last half of the sentence, Lu Zhiyin felt an immense pressure out of nowhere, her sweat pouring down like rain, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
Her body instinctively feared. Lu Zhiyin thought, she was not lying; if the person before her wished it, she would be crushed into dust, her soul and body vanishing into thin air.
As the divine maiden shifted her gaze, the pressure on Lu Zhiyin suddenly disappeared.
“… *Huff*… *Huff*…”
She panted heavily, wiping the fine beads of sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.
The table in front of her was soaked with sweat. Even though the pressure had dissipated, Lu Zhiyin still felt a sense of lingering fear.
“Usually, you only come here when you really want to see me. Speak, why do you want to see me?”
Tapping the surface of the stone table with her knuckles, her seemingly casual movements caused cracks to spread from the points of impact on the stone table.
Lu Zhiyin completely dismissed the idea of retaliating against the deity before her.
Even if she had the chance to stab the deity before her, it wouldn’t cause any harm.
“What rude thoughts are you having?”
She once again fixed her gaze upon Lu Zhiyin’s eyes.
In fact, this young deity did have mind-reading abilities, but compared to reading minds, she much preferred people to speak their thoughts aloud.
“…No, nothing.”
Lu Zhiyin shook her head.
“I want to see you because I need your help.”
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhiyin stated her request, and the deity showed an “as expected” expression.
“Before you state your request, I must tell you that my help is capricious. This time, you will have to pay with your health. I will give you one minute to think carefully about what you need. Of course, don’t treat me like a wish-granting machine; your wishes should not be too excessive.”
As she spoke, the young deity narrowed her eyes.
“After all, if you achieve your goals too easily, where will I find my fun? Haha.”
Laughing maliciously, the divine maiden casually took out a stopwatch.
“Now, let the timer begin.”
As the divine maiden’s words fell, Lu Zhiyin closed her eyes.
Health? Such a severe price… Is the person before me really an evil god?
However, no matter how severe the price, Lu Zhiyin had to get her help.
While Lu Zhiyin was thinking, the hands of the stopwatch ticked away.
“Let Long Qinxin survive Leng Qing Qiu’s attack, and then, give me money. I need enough money.”
Without waiting for the stopwatch hands to complete their rotation, Lu Zhiyin reopened her eyes.
Her request was simple, and she dared not ask for more.
She had to constantly remember that the person before her was not a great benefactor.
“Oh, is that all? Alright. Long Qinxin will survive Leng Qing Qiu’s attack. And you will receive one hundred thousand yuan in an unexpected way.”
As she spoke, the deity stood up.
She tidied her white robe, and her wings unfolded behind her.
White feathers danced in the air, creating a breathtaking beauty against the backdrop of the endless violets.
But Lu Zhiyin’s first thought was that the evil god before her was shedding feathers.
The young deity sensed Lu Zhiyin’s thoughts, and her already not-so-good mood turned sour.
It was because she had indeed been shedding feathers recently.
“Well then, see you next time, you lowly bug.”
With her mood at its worst, the divine maiden’s tone also became harsh. She flapped her wings and flew away.
As the deity departed, Lu Zhiyin lost consciousness once more.
This time, she was truly unconscious.
