Chapter 42: A Mischievous Deity (Extra Update 11)
“…?”
With a loud bang, Leng Qing Qiu opened her eyes. She released her hands that were covering her ears and stared blankly at Lu Zhi Yin, who had collapsed on the side of the road and fallen unconscious.
“…Zhi…Zhi Yin?”
All the anger and resentment in her heart had long since vanished. She dazedly ran to Lu Zhi Yin’s side.
Seeing the girl lying in a pool of blood, Leng Qing Qiu was more flustered than ever before.
She hadn’t wanted Lu Zhi Yin to die. She had no idea why a car had appeared here.
Logically, no cars should appear here at night…
Leng Qing Qiu, with slightly trembling hands, reached out and felt for Lu Zhi Yin’s breath.
Fortunately, although her breath was weak, the girl was still alive.
Leng Qing Qiu quickly regained her usual composure. She looked at the girl slumped on the side of the street, took out her phone, and called the hospital.
After quickly and concisely informing them of her location, Leng Qing Qiu hung up. She adjusted Lu Zhi Yin’s position, letting the girl lie flat on the road.
Looking at the girl covered in blood, Leng Qing Qiu realized then that Lu Zhi Yin’s abdominal stab wound had reopened.
Her heart was filled with endless regret. She sat beside Lu Zhi Yin, anxiously waiting for the ambulance to arrive, while occasionally checking Lu Zhi Yin’s breath to ensure the girl hadn’t died prematurely.
While waiting for the ambulance, Leng Qing Qiu happened to notice a wallet lying on the ground not far away.
This must have been left by the person driving the car that hit her. Leng Qing Qiu picked up the plump leather wallet and clutched it in her hand.
She didn’t intend to look inside the wallet. This belonged to Lu Zhi Yin, and she didn’t intend to take anything that belonged to Lu Zhi Yin.
After picking up the wallet, Leng Qing Qiu started staring blankly at Lu Zhi Yin’s pale face again.
She carefully wiped away the blood from the girl’s face, her finger touching Lu Zhi Yin’s dry lips.
Lu Zhi Yin, to her, was probably not something that could be described by the word “toy.”
After all, who would be this panicked over a broken toy?
“…”
Unable to describe her feelings for Lu Zhi Yin, Leng Qing Qiu just sat there blankly.
While Leng Qing Qiu was spacing out, in Lu Zhi Yin’s mental world, she found herself in the now-familiar pavilion again.
“…Ha… I’m back here again…”
She shook her head, her memory stopping at the moment just before the car hit her.
Looking around, she found scattered white feathers at one of the exits of the pavilion.
Well… if nothing unexpected happened, these were likely dropped by that damned evil god yesterday.
It seemed like not much time had passed here.
“Hmm? You’re back again, and quite frequently too.”
As Lu Zhi Yin picked up a pure white feather, recalling the deity’s appearance with wings spread yesterday, the deity suddenly appeared behind Lu Zhi Yin.
With a hint of malice, the young deity pushed Lu Zhi Yin’s back.
Lu Zhi Yin was pushed several meters back by a seemingly light push, almost falling face-first onto the ground.
Fortunately, she managed to steady herself in the end.
“Tsk… Not interesting. You didn’t even fall flat on your face.”
Unlike her majestic appearance when they first met, the young deity gradually began to reveal her mischievous side.
“…”
Without saying anything, Lu Zhi Yin turned around and looked at the deity in front of her.
Her rational mind told her that the car accident was undoubtedly related to the deity.
“Hmm? You guessed right, the car accident was indeed something I caused. After today, you’ll probably be in the hospital for a few months. The money you asked me for is the compensation from the hit-and-run driver, and what you need to pay is for the after-effects of the car accident. How’s that, unexpected enough?”
With narrowed eyes, the divine maiden carefully observed the person in front of her.
A normal person who was stabbed and then hit by a car would almost certainly die. However, the deity didn’t want this girl to die so soon, so the girl couldn’t die.
Well… very willful.
“Achoo…”
Letting out a yawn, the young deity had actually just woken up and was still a bit sleepy.
Observing the countless bloodstains on the girl’s body, the deity smiled again.
She temporarily blocked Lu Zhi Yin’s pain sensation. Here, Lu Zhi Yin wouldn’t feel any pain. When she woke up, all these pains would be returned to her.
The deity would not tell Lu Zhi Yin this.
“It really is… unexpected…”
Lowering her head, Lu Zhi Yin closed her eyes.
Was she going to stay in the hospital? If she stayed in the hospital, there would be many troublesome things.
If she didn’t see her for a long time, Long Qin Xin would probably go looking for Leng Qing Qiu again. Lu Zhi Yin, who had just managed to keep her alive, didn’t want Long Qin Xin to go looking for death in front of Leng Qing Qiu again.
As for Zhu Qing, she still hadn’t returned the book she borrowed, and she had promised to collaborate on a story with her. If she were hospitalized, she wouldn’t be able to finish the story.
And as for Qin An, Lu Zhi Yin still hadn’t figured out what was bothering her.
All sorts of troublesome matters made Lu Zhi Yin dread being hospitalized.
She almost wished to immediately ask the deity to heal her.
However, after experiencing this inexplicable car accident, Lu Zhi Yin no longer dared to casually seek the deity’s help.
The price this time was already heavy enough; she didn’t know what she would have to pay next time.
“…Wait, what are you holding?”
Her gaze swept over Lu Zhi Yin’s entire body, and the divine maiden noticed the white feather in Lu Zhi Yin’s hand.
She instantly appeared in front of Lu Zhi Yin, grabbed Lu Zhi Yin’s wrist, and the immense force almost crushed Lu Zhi Yin’s bones.
Lu Zhi Yin, not feeling any pain, was completely unaware of this. She was only startled by the deity who suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“…A feather picked up from the ground… Are… are you angry?”
Cautiously observing the deity’s face, Lu Zhi Yin still couldn’t see the deity’s face clearly. She could only sense her annoyance from the aura around her.
“Didn’t anyone tell you not to touch other people’s things?”
Snatching the feather from Lu Zhi Yin’s hand, the divine maiden then inserted the feather into Lu Zhi Yin’s shoulder.
“Mmm…”
With a muffled groan, Lu Zhi Yin was directly forced to her knees by the young deity in front of her.
Blood flowed profusely from where the feather pierced her, but Lu Zhi Yin still felt no pain. She gradually began to sense that something was wrong.
“…Sorry…”
Clutching her shoulder, Lu Zhi Yin apologized softly.
“Hmph, there won’t be a next time.”
The deity looked at her condescendingly for a while before pulling the feather out of Lu Zhi Yin’s shoulder. With a wave of her hand, all the feathers scattered on the ground disappeared.
“…”
Without a word, facing the capricious deity, Lu Zhi Yin could only force a smile.
Seeing Lu Zhi Yin’s smile, the divine maiden became even more displeased. She hated it when others touched her feathers, hated it very much, especially when the person touching her feathers was a small bug she considered a tool for amusement.
Lifting her leg, she placed her foot on Lu Zhi Yin’s chest, then kicked Lu Zhi Yin away.
“Scram, I don’t want to see you anymore.”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhi Yin’s vision plunged into darkness.
After expelling Lu Zhi Yin from her domain, the deity lay down on the stone table.
“It’s a butter world, yet she hasn’t encountered many chastity crises. Should I increase the danger level a bit?”
She thought this, and she acted on it.
Lu Zhi Yin, who had lost consciousness, couldn’t hear her words and naturally wouldn’t know the deity’s thoughts.
Meanwhile, outside, Leng Qing Qiu, who had been cooperating with the medical staff in lifting Lu Zhi Yin onto the ambulance, suddenly felt something had changed.
She looked at Lu Zhi Yin’s pale face and the white skin exposed through her torn clothes, and a strange heat rose in her heart.
