Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 754: The Trick
Considering Connie’s recent business trip, which involved both effort and hardship, Loli displayed a very generous side.
She affectionately touched Connie’s soft, pretty face and teased, “You said it yourself, usually it’s just me and Ruo Yi, and we can barely satisfy Master. You’re so small; if you can’t handle it later, don’t come begging us for mercy.”
Connie’s heart leaped at her words. Her gaze shifted to Ruo Yi, who nodded in agreement. With excitement, Connie declared,
“Don’t worry, I’m a Giant Dragon!”
She formed her fingers into claws and made a fearsome dragon-roaring gesture, letting out a playful “Owooo,” which caused the two maids to burst into laughter.
At that moment, Connie’s thoughts turned to:
*She* won’t be the one begging for mercy.
Because tonight, You Ye is going to be sent in~
***
The Sleeping Land.
Within a certain shattered floating divine domain.
Three goddesses sat opposite each other.
One of them was none other than the Earth Goddess, who had just issued the divine trial. She no longer possessed her previous casual demeanor. Her face was solemn, and her entire being radiated an authoritative aura.
“Terra, are you certain about passing down your divine seat?”
The speaker was Nyx, the Goddess of the Night.
She wore a long black dress adorned with flowing stars and moons. Her skirt resembled black mist, spreading across the shrine’s floor. A black veil concealed her face, revealing only a pair of seductive red lips, and an ineffable, mysterious gaze could be felt.
“That depends on whether she can pass the trial.”
Terra’s tone was cold, almost devoid of emotion.
A mirror image appeared before her, depicting Nina wielding the divine hammer.
The demi-human girl’s hands were covered in blood. Both of her palms were worn and raw. Sweating profusely, Nina swung the hammer resolutely while crying. Although the crying displeased Terra, considering she was still a child, her current achievement was commendable.
“Heh heh heh~ You’re truly something, Terra. The Sun God Stone can only be shaped after ten million forgings. Before that, no weapon can be forged, no matter what. I don’t believe this girl can persevere.”
Nyx, the Goddess of the Night, gently fanned herself, concealing her red lips as she chuckled seductively.
“If she cannot persevere, then she is not qualified to inherit the divine seat.”
Terra glanced at Nyx coldly.
“These children will face greater trials in the future. Without a resilient heart, how can they become worthy gods? How can they be entrusted with the grave responsibility of resisting the Old Ones?”
“You are right.”
Nyx closed her fan, a cold smile curving her lips. “Therefore, I have no intention of passing down my divine seat. I dare not take such a risk, nor do I have the inclination to choose a successor like you. Even if their future might surpass mine.”
“You intend to directly seize the vessel?”
The Earth Goddess Terra frowned. “That King probably won’t agree.”
“What if he doesn’t agree? He cannot stop me.”
The Goddess of the Night’s tone was casual, and her figure gradually began to fade.
However, her ethereal voice still echoed in the palace.
“However, I am still a goddess, and I do not wish to bully mortals. Since that is the case, I will also set a trial. As long as the vessel can defeat me… Heh heh heh~”
Nyx departed.
The Earth Goddess Terra furrowed her brow tightly.
Everything the Goddess of the Night had just said was utter nonsense.
How could the vessel possibly defeat her?
She wanted to seize it directly, yet she insisted on fabricating a grand and righteous excuse. Truly hypocritical.
“And you, Aina, how do you plan to deal with your vessel?”
Terra’s gaze fell upon another goddess, crackling with lightning.
Aina, the God of Heavenly Punishment, held authority over lightning and divine punishment and was a close sister to the Goddess of Order. Now that the Goddess of Order had fallen, most of the divine nature of Order had gravitated towards Aina, leading to Aina’s potential to become the new God of Order.
Unlike the ancient visage of the God of Order.
Aina appeared very young, like a little girl. However, her pale eyes held only solemnity and explosive lightning. These characteristics had completely scoured away any innocence and playfulness from her.
“The Northern Territory, Lightning Peak, the Eye of the Storm. This is the trial I have set for her. If she can pass, the divine seat will be passed on. If not, she dies.”
Upon hearing the words “Eye of the Storm,”
The Earth Goddess Terra couldn’t help but shudder.
The Goddess of the Night had just called her heartless.
Compared to Aina, she was practically benevolent. She merely subjected her successors to some physical pain to temper their will.
This one, however, directly played with their lives!
***
Winter Fort.
After a busy day, Xi Wei returned to his bedroom.
However, he did not turn on the lights.
Because Connie had said she wanted to play a new trick with him, and the lights couldn’t be on.
To cooperate with the little lecherous dragon’s performance, Xi Wei naturally complied with all her requests.
He even donned an eye mask very cooperatively.
Of course, a regular eye mask was as good as not wearing anything. So, to ensure this trick went smoothly, Connie specially made an eye mask inscribed with the Dragon Speech [Moment of Absolute Darkness].
This way, Xi Wei would be completely unable to see.
His Majesty, the King of Winter City, felt a thrill of novelty and groped his way to the bedside. He skillfully flipped open the covers and lay down. He reached out left and right, feeling for the petite and delicate “Connie.”
He pulled Connie into his embrace and couldn’t resist teasing, “You know, wearing an eye mask really does feel different. There’s a mysterious allure, like opening a blind box. Tsk, you’re something else, Connie. Who else would come up with such a move? Confess now, did you go flip through those inappropriate books again?”
No one answered.
Xi Wei even felt the delicate body in his arms tremble slightly.
As if… afraid?
No, this wasn’t Connie’s first time. What was there to be afraid of!
Or was pretending to be scared also part of this trick?
If that were the case, Xi Wei could only say that Connie was really good at playing. However, to be safe, he decided to confirm whether the person in his arms was indeed Connie.
First, he sniffed her.
Mmm…
Sweet and milky, with the scent of Dragon Milk all over.
Then, he touched her dragon horns, tail, and wings.
These were the most recognizable features.
He felt them all!
There were absolutely no problems.
Combined with her petite size, it was indeed Connie. As for using the Appraisal technique, there was no need for it. Who would use an Appraisal technique on their little wife? That would be utterly idiotic.
“Not going to speak, are we?”
Xi Wei placed his hand on “Connie’s” slender waist and squeezed, grinning wickedly. “Fine, you won’t speak now, and you’ll keep your mouth shut later. If you can’t hold it in, don’t blame me for being rude, kekeke!”
With that, Xi Wei groped his way to turn “Connie’s” body over.
***
On the bedroom windowsill.
Connie sat under the moonlight, her short legs swinging back and forth rhythmically. Listening to the sounds behind her, gazing at the bright moonlight, and feeling the cool night breeze, she couldn’t help but mutter softly:
“You Ye, as a good friend, I can only help you this much. Whether you can capture Master after this depends on your own abilities…”
