After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 45
Wu Xi’s body trembled slightly, blood trickling from his mouth along with the shattered fragments of his internal organs.
The bloody scene happened too quickly for him to react. He struggled to breathe for a moment, his eyes fluttered a few times, then fell silent.
Amidst the smell of blood and dust, there was silence.
The towering demon still wasn’t satisfied. It was as if he hadn’t properly stretched his muscles in a long time. He leisurely turned his head from side to side, then chuckled.
That smile, tinged with the bloodthirsty aura provoked by the scent of blood, exerted an invisible but oppressive force on the demons holding guns, making them feel like they were facing a mountain.
They were too far from the God of Stars and had only recently gained fame. Almost no demon had heard of Yuanyuan, this Reaper God.
For the first time, the demons who were accustomed to being rampant with Wu Xi felt fear, and they retreated in fear.
At this moment, Ya Er took on the responsibility and stepped forward, standing in front of Xinghui. He gently asked if Xinghui felt any discomfort, while glancing sideways at the group of demons whose guns had been taken away by Yuanyuan and were now lying neatly on the ground.
Why bother?
Why did you provoke this Reaper God?
His temper had been quite good lately, thanks to their little deity at home.
Xinghui probably knew what he was about to do and avoided looking, while the little deity obediently kept his eyes closed.
Shi Xi looked at the ground of his base, which was now pockmarked and uneven, feeling both heartache and anger. He wished he could go up and hammer these guys himself.
But he couldn’t.
The wings behind him flapped desperately, diligently blowing away the dust around Xinghui.Â
And not long after that.
Yuanyuan had already dealt with those who had targeted the little deity. In front of all the demons, his spiritual power instantly converged, as if forcibly stuffed into an ill-fitting jar, seemingly transforming back into the gentle, harmless appearance he had shown before.
But everyone who had witnessed the scene just now, upon looking at Yuanyuan again, felt that his mildness and harmlessness were just a lid pressed down on his opponent’s strength. Occasionally, in his unconscious moments, a terrifying momentum would still be revealed, instilling fear and trembling in those who saw it.
The demons following Yuanyuan seemed accustomed to handling such matters, especially with the presence of their deity.
Before the smell of blood could spread further, Wu Xi’s body had already been swiftly cleaned up by these demons. The demons who had been hammered to the ground and left half-dead were also dragged out and tied up with ropes.
Coincidentally, Xinghui had come to help look for any usable minerals or similar resources this time. Wouldn’t this add some extra labor?
When Xinghui opened his eyes again, besides the absence of the demons led by Wu Xi, everything was almost the same as when he had closed his eyes.
But the change in the atmosphere made Xinghui understand what had just happened.
“Alright, you can continue now.”
Yuanyuan had returned to Xinghui’s side. After the recent activity, his hair was somewhat disheveled, and his military uniform looked even more disorderly due to having taken a hit.
Indeed, he was quite ruthless.
Xinghui thought to himself as he looked at Yuanyuan.
Shi Xi also thought the same as he looked at the full of pits on his floor.
He probably owed this trouble to Yuanyuan, right?
He had to go to the God of Stars to work as a laborer, and finally when he got to his own territory, the only operational command center became like this.
However—
Shi Xi turned to look at the demons behind him with a grim expression.
“You let them in without checking their weapons properly?”
After all, the demons were all soldiers, and it was inevitable that everyone would be armed. But this time, it was Xinghui who had come, and he had instructed to ensure that everything was foolproof.
The demons were sweating profusely.
“It should be some kind of special technology.”
Yuanyuan looked at the guns piled up in the corner.
“Ya Er, you lead a team to check.”
“Yes, boss.”
Once the farce was resolved, the attention of Xinghui and the other demon clansmen fell on the demon who had not been involved in the conflict from the beginning.
At this moment, Qing Rong was also filled with uncertainty. His spiritual power, which had been released casually, seemed to be restrained invisibly and was being suppressed without a trace, making his attitude even more subdued.
Having witnessed the scene just now, everyone looking at Yuanyuan again felt that his gentle and harmless appearance was merely a lid pressed down on his opponent’s fierceness, and some intimidating momentum would still leak out inadvertently.
The demon clansmen following Yuanyuan seemed accustomed to dealing with such situations, especially with a deity present.
Before the scent of blood had spread further, the body of Wu Xi had been swiftly cleaned up by these demon clansmen, along with the half-dead demons who had been hammered to the ground, all tied up with ropes.
It was convenient that Xinghui had also come to help check if there were any usable mineral deposits around Z72, which meant there were more laborers available.
When Xinghui opened his eyes again, besides the absence of the demons led by Wu Xi, everything in front of the god’s closed eyes remained almost the same.
But the change in the atmosphere made Xinghui understand what had just happened.
“Alright, you can continue now.”
Yuanyuan had returned to Xinghui’s side, and after the recent activity, his hair was somewhat disheveled, and his military uniform looked even more disordered due to the hard blow he had received.
Indeed, extremely ferocious.
Xinghui thought to himself as he looked at Yuanyuan.
And so did Shi Xi, looking at the demons behind him.
“Didn’t you check their weapons before letting them in?”
The demons sweated profusely, knowing that all of them were armed, it was inevitable that each person would carry weapons. However, Xinghui had previously instructed to ensure that everything was foolproof.
The demons felt the pressure.
“We should have some special technology.”
Yuanyuan looked at the firearms piled up in the corner.
“Xi Ya, check with your people.”
“Yes, boss.”
But no sooner had the curtain fallen on this little drama, Xinghui and Yuanyuan were already planning their next move. They moved towards the window to observe.Â
“I think the rain sounds heavier now, and the wind is getting stronger,” Xinghui said.
Qing Rong couldn’t help but raise his eyes again, looking at Xinghui.
“Don’t you need us to believe in you?” he asked.
Xinghui turned to look at Qing Rong, his eyes dark and deep, showing no signs of intimidation, but Qing Rong still instinctively lowered his head.
“Hello.”
Qing Rong was just here to find a storage point for energy minerals, not to seek a new faith. Besides, like other demons, he didn’t feel that demons necessarily had to have any faith. Moreover, during the previous contact, the other party had said that these things were not mandatory, only that they could provide ways to search for energy minerals.
But at this moment, he felt uncertain, feeling that this matter needed to be re-evaluated.
Although demons always admired strength and believed that the strong could lead everything, in this situation, Qing Rong felt a bit cramped.
But the expected words did not come.
Instead, it was the same calm tone from the little god.
“Follow Shi Xi to go. He will mark the places where there might be energy minerals for you.”
After saying this, everything that had just happened seemed like a mere interlude. Xinghui turned his head to look at Yuanyuan.
“Let’s go and take a look by the window. It sounds like the rain is getting heavier, and the wind is blowing too hard.”
Qing Rong couldn’t help but raise his eyes again, looking at Xinghui.
“Don’t you need us to believe in you?” he asked.
Xinghui turned to look at Qing Rong, his eyes dark and deep, showing no signs of intimidation, but Qing Rong still instinctively lowered his head.
“Hello.”
Qing Rong was just here to find a storage point for energy minerals, not to seek a new faith. Besides, like other demons, he didn’t feel that demons necessarily had to have any faith. Moreover, during the previous contact, the other party had said that these things were not mandatory, only that they could provide ways to search for energy minerals.

“Follow Shi Xi to go. He will mark the places where there might be energy minerals for you.”
After saying this, everything that had just happened seemed like a mere interlude. Xinghui turned his head to look at Yuanyuan.
Shi Xi also reached out and placed his hand on Qing Rong’s shoulder. They had only met not long ago, but they seemed to get along well as they walked inside together.
“He’s alright, just here to seek help, at least it doesn’t feel out of place,” Shi Xi thought.
Meanwhile, Xinghui and Yuanyuan stood by the window.
Outside, the wind and rain were raging, the sound was somewhat frightening, even making Xinghui’s already sensitive ears ache.
Yuanyuan noticed Xinghui’s frown as he looked at him.
Yuanyuan had just been inspecting the weapons Xi Ya had brought over. He lifted the heavy-looking star cannon effortlessly, dismantling its parts swiftly with his slender fingers.
After a brief inspection, he casually threw the pile of parts aside, cleaned his hands, and then reached out to place his palm on Xinghui’s ear.
Since he was standing behind Xinghui and his movement was sudden, Xinghui didn’t anticipate it and instinctively turned his head.
“Aren’t you going to change your clothes?” Yuanyuan asked, noticing the robust muscles outlined beneath the fabric and the delicate position of the cannon blast, revealing a glimpse of his chest.
Xinghui glanced briefly and calmly averted his gaze.
“And my ears are fine,” he replied, although they were just a bit deafened. But in front of the dignity of a deity, it was nothing! He could endure it; he could still hold on! He could continue learning how an excellent deity should interact with their believers tonight!
Yuanyuan didn’t move, his hand still lightly covering Xinghui’s ear. To speak, he leaned closer, his breath warm.
“The sound is too loud.”
In Yuanyuan’s mind, Xinghui was indeed a bit too delicate. After all, the memory of leaving red marks on Xinghui’s body with just a casual touch was too vivid and shocking. Now, seeing the thunder and lightning outside, the wind and rain, coupled with the transparent windowpanes, gave him a feeling that if he didn’t hold on, the stars would fly away.
Xinghui simply said a word and then felt the pressure on his ear ease slightly. Since it felt a little better, he let Yuanyuan be.
He felt a bit resigned. After all, he had seen Yuanyuan in such a state of disarray before; just covering his ears was nothing.
“Your ears are quite cold,” Yuanyuan said, still close to his ear, gently pressing his soft earlobe, sounding somewhat surprised.
Xinghui kept observing outside the window, instinctively turning his head away from the hot breath sprayed by Yuanyuan.
“You’re a bit too hot,” the little deity said casually, then suddenly fixed his gaze.
“Yuanyuan, what do you see?”
He raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
Yuanyuan also looked over.
To be honest, in such a stormy weather with lightning and thunder, the sky was already intimidatingly dark. Raindrops formed into curtains, and the hurricane swept up the wet sand, swirling in the air.
Even with their excellent vision, the demons couldn’t see much under these circumstances, whereas Xinghui could perceive the most direct forces with his spiritual energy, ignoring the flying dust and rain curtains. He could see the most straightforward power.
“I can’t tell, it’s all dark, blocked by rain and dust, it’s all black. We’ll need instruments to analyze what’s out there,” Yuanyuan said after careful observation. He felt that the weather in the Z72 star system today was really bizarre. If they had landed in such weather, they probably wouldn’t have had such a smooth landing.
“What did you see?” Xinghui asked, and Yuanyuan’s expression also became serious.
Although the demons were formidable, if a small asteroid were to collide with the demon territory, it would undoubtedly lead to a series of events, not to mention that Xinghui was still here.
Meanwhile, Shi Xi, who was in the middle of exchanging information about where hidden energy mines might be, was urgently interrupted.
All the analytical equipment was directed towards the direction indicated by Xinghui for further investigation.
It was eventually confirmed that indeed, a small asteroid that they couldn’t observe with the naked eye was rapidly approaching their direction.
“The landing site is near the base and will affect this area. The sudden change in weather is probably due to this small asteroid,” Xi Ya said with a serious expression.
“Is it a consequence of the storm?” asked the others.
Cosmic storms were the general term for natural disasters. When a cosmic storm arrived, numerous catastrophic events would occur on all planets it swept over, accompanied by contamination that could cause genetic diseases.
A meteorite or planet collision was just one of them.
After the storm was expelled by the Abyss, it didn’t mean things calmed down; the aftermath included not only pollution sources and genetic diseases but also occasional minor catastrophes.
So when the storm started, not many people questioned the downpour.
But a meteorite or planet collision was no longer considered a minor catastrophe.
“After calculating the speed, we still have time. Let’s prepare now. We have time to smash it before it lands. Then the base can activate the defense barrier, minimizing the impact,” analyzed the personnel on Shi Xi’s side, immediately getting up to prepare.
This sudden incident interrupted everyone’s work.
Shi Xi also temporarily asked Qing Rong to wait aside.
Understanding, Qing Rong stood up.
He politely asked his fellow demons, who seemed genuinely willing to help him: “Do you need assistance?”
Shi Xi looked at him sincerely and nodded. “Yes, we do.”
Qing Rong, who had wanted to be polite, was taken aback. They were really not holding back at all.
Soon, the energy cannon was placed at the entrance of the base, aimed at the sky where the small asteroid was approaching.
A continuous stream of energy stone energy was supplied to the energy cannon, including the spiritual power of the three demon commanders.
Energy was gradually accumulating.
Xinghui stood behind the transparent material door, glancing at them and then at the small asteroid about to fall.
Meanwhile, Yuanyuan, Shi Xi, and Qing Rong stood outside in the rain and wind. Yuanyuan hadn’t had time to change his clothes yet. The torn fabric on his chest rustled in the wind. He simply unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his sturdy muscles, standing confidently in the storm.
Wild and tough, he remained calm, giving people a sense of reassurance.
“It’s still a bit too dangerous here. You’ve been here for quite some time. Go back and rest first?” Xi Ya stood beside Xinghui, asking softly.
Xinghui shook his head and pulled down his military cap.
“It’s okay, I’ll stay here and watch.”
The power of that small asteroid was imprinted in Xinghui’s pupils, a faint glimmer.
The demons lived in the desolate star system year-round and encountered such situations often. Therefore, their military was advanced, and there were many types of weapons to deal with these natural disasters. However, this situation still made Xinghui somewhat uneasy.
Outside, Yuanyuan, Shi Xi, and Qing Rong stood, calmly channeling spiritual energy into the energy cannon.
The volume of this planet was not small. With the existing energy reserves of the Z72 star system, they couldn’t handle it.
“You’re quite lucky. If it were you trying to deal with the other party in such a situation, in a couple of days, I would have received news of you being lifted away by a minor catastrophe,” Yuanyuan said as he charged, squinting his eyes upwards.
Sand, rain, and dust entered his eyes, making everything blurry.
Shi Xi wanted to speak, but he ended up with sand in his mouth.
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—” He was also blown askew by the wind, trying to charge the energy cannon.
Qing Rong, who was temporarily brought in to help, saw Shi Xi’s appearance and tightly closed his mouth to avoid ingesting sand. At the same time, he couldn’t help but cast a curious glance at Yuanyuan, wondering how he spoke.
Was it possible that with such strong spiritual power, even sand wouldn’t get in?
Then he saw Yuanyuan’s cheek move slightly, still in a relaxed manner, and he spat out sand. Qing Rong thought to himself, “Alright, even with strong spiritual power, if sand needs to be spit out, it will be spit out.”
Compared to Shi Xi, Yuanyuan seemed more elegant when spitting out sand?
Qing Rong realized that he might not have seen other demons from other star systems for too long, and his thoughts were being influenced by them. As a guest here, he was swaying in the wind and rain, helping charge the energy cannon, and thinking about his purpose for coming here.
The energy cannon quickly accumulated enough energy.
It was aimed at the position of the small asteroid and soon fired.
In the pitch-black darkness, a streak of light swiftly shot out in front of them, then quickly disappeared. After a few seconds of calmness in the darkness, there was a deafening explosion in the sky.
With the support of energy minerals and the spiritual power of the three demon commanders, the power of this energy cannon shot was formidable, blasting the small asteroid into pieces.
“The target has been shattered and disappeared. The impact has been reduced. Mission accomplished. Well done, several commanders,” came the voice of the demons in the control room through the communicator.
Shi Xi reached up and touched his face, finally covering his mouth to prevent the sand from entering.
“Today is really unlucky. The small asteroid is dealt with, but who knows when this weather will end.”
Who could know such things?
Yuanyuan couldn’t be bothered to speak. Even a deity couldn’t change the weather at will, right?
He thought so and turned his head, only to see Xinghui with his beautiful eyes wide open, still gazing at the sky.
It seemed like Little Deity said something.
But the surrounding wind and thunder were too loud, and Yuanyuan could only make out a few words from his lip movements—here… again…
The next moment, Xinghui had already pressed open the gate of the base without hesitation.
The wind instantly blew the military cap off Little Deity’s head. After the active little tuft of hair was liberated from under the cap, it was instantly drooped by the wind and rain, almost sticking to Xinghui’s head, only defiantly flicking up a bit.
The sky, which had fallen silent after the planet was shattered, now lit up again. It was as if torches had been lit in the sky, or fiery stars.
A somewhat panicked voice came from the communicator.
“The devices have quickly detected and locked onto other planets. It’s not a planet impact, it’s a large meteorite swarm attack! Just now, due to the distance and the magnetic field of the first planet, the instruments couldn’t detect it! Boss, what should we do?!”
Such a natural disaster could now be compared to the meteorite attack caused by the cosmic storm back then!
Xinghui had just said—there’s a new planet coming, hurry back inside the defense barrier!
Yuanyuan instantly understood the situation. His face darkened, and his wings spread out, blocking Xinghui’s path towards this side. With the defense barrier, they could at least block the hurricane blowing towards Xinghui. He looked up with a cold face towards the sky.
“How is this possible?!” Shi Xi exclaimed, looking at the sky in disbelief.
“This is already considered a major disaster, right?” Although there was only this major disaster, and not earthquakes, tsunamis, or underground lava eruptions, it was deadly enough.
The demons’ recovery ability was quick, and many could survive this disaster, but they needed to find a way to protect Little Deity.
As Yuanyuan pondered, Xinghui grabbed his wrist.
His wings were about to close, enveloping Xinghui.
“You stay put, and we’ll observe the trajectory of these meteorite swarms. Wait for a moment to find a safe place—”
Yuanyuan’s words weren’t finished.
Xinghui exerted force, pulling Yuanyuan back two steps, shielding him in front. Yuanyuan paused, looking at Xinghui’s small, rain-soaked face.
Shi Xi and Qing Rong also retreated into the defense barrier.
So everyone’s faces didn’t look good at the moment.
The meteorite swarm was rapidly approaching.
The power and scale were even more formidable than they had imagined.
“What do you want to do?” Yuanyuan asked calmly.
Xinghui stared intently at the meteorite swarm.
“Trust me.”
Then he turned to look at Yuanyuan.
“I now have the ability to protect you.”
In the backdrop of near-apocalyptic scenes under this meteorite swarm, Xinghui’s words sounded a bit crazy at the moment, even Little Deity himself couldn’t understand why he was so reckless, daring to say anything and make promises.
But it felt like that feeling when he crossed the isolation zone.
When he saw the vast and oppressive dots of light in the sky, the power inside him began to stir, and he felt a familiar sensation.
The fragment of the deity within Xinghui flew out in an instant, along with the spiritual power of the deity. As the meteorites fell towards their area, they erected a protective barrier.
There was a rumbling sound in their ears as the meteorites landed on the ground, the vibrations of their impact, and the way they were shattered and dispersed upon hitting the protective barrier.
The sky became completely bright, and everyone stopped their preparations and looked at the deity standing tall before them.
The wind and rain passed through the protective barrier, seemingly about to knock over the frail deity, while the fiery lights in the sky, combined with the impacts on the ground, formed patches of light and shadows that fell on them.
“This—this—can this really be done?”
The demons standing in the rain, hurriedly preparing for what’s to come, were stunned by the scene before them.
The power of the deity was indeed a natural enemy of disasters.
“Why do I feel like this scene looks a bit familiar?”
Someone said.
“Have any of you seen the documentaries from the Alliance? Doesn’t this barrier against disasters look similar to the one the Abyss used to resist the storm back then?”
The demons had never seen it, but in the documentaries, there were glimpses of demons noticing it.
Those semi-transparent barriers protected all the planets, blocking external threats and stabilizing the internal environment.
However, this comment didn’t seem to catch the attention of others nearby. After all, the power of the deity and the Abyss were from the same source. The deity was born from the Abyss.
It’s just that no one had ever heard of any deity being able to erect such a protective barrier.
It was as if no one had ever heard of any deity shaking the coverage of the Abyss, allowing the isolation zone to change at will.
It was too unbelievable, but they couldn’t help but want to show off—yes, that’s right, it’s our deity.
This kind of impact lasted for a few minutes.
The subsequent meteorite swarm was much faster than the first, carrying much more energy. Soon, they were all smashed to pieces like hail.
The outer part of the protective barrier set up by the deity had just been attacked and was now hazy, making it impossible to see whether it was dust, rain, or the fine particles of the meteorites landing on the ground.
Yuanyuan’s wings were still half closed, enveloping the deity in front of him.
The fragments of the deity wobbled back from the periphery of the protective barrier and began to happily circle around Xinghui again.
Although Xinghui’s spiritual power was no longer as prone to drying up as before, and he could even wrestle with projections from the Abyss, facing so many and such powerful disasters at the moment still caused him to overexert his spiritual power, and his body shook slightly.
Yuanyuan instinctively used his wings to support the deity’s body. He looked at the deity in front of him, and his heart pounded faster and faster, starting from when the deity said he trusted him and would protect them. Now it was accelerating beyond control.
It was at this moment that a beautiful light, a pale golden color, flew over from the sky, broke through the protective barrier, and rushed to Xinghui’s side. It circled around Xinghui twice and merged with the nearby fragments of the deity.
Xinghui was stunned.
“Fragment of the deity? Where did it come from?”
He turned his head to look at the sky.
At this moment, there was no more anomaly in the sky.
Xinghui then looked at Yuanyuan, who had been silent all this time. The deity, who was always considered fragile, had once again successfully protected his believers, and he was quite satisfied in his heart. He looked at Yuanyuan, who was bare-chested and needed protection, and asked very modestly.
“How about it, are you injured?”
It was really dangerous just now!
Thanks to him already having two pieces of the deity’s fragments, now it was the third one.
Xinghui appeared calm on the surface, but he was still somewhat frightened.
At this moment, the fragment of the deity that was even brighter instantly merged into Xinghui’s body.
His beautiful dark eyes slightly lit up.
His gaze was piercing.
Xinghui was still a mess from being drenched, with his little curls looking somewhat disheveled on his beautiful face. But at this moment, his eyes were very bright, his body was thin but reliable, and he looked over.
Thump, thump.
It was over.
His heart was beating even faster.
Yuanyuan couldn’t help but raise his hand and press against his restless heart.
Was this really such devout faith?
And Xinghui suddenly paused for a moment, blinked his eyes, and even got some raindrops on his long eyelashes.
“Black horns—red eyes— and also—”
Xinghui was attracted by his pounding chest, and he happened to see what was on his chest—
Good pink.
The black-haired deity paused for a moment, trying hard to maintain a polite and calm demeanor as he averted his gaze.
So why wasn’t he wearing proper clothes—
Wait? He could see clearly now?
“Can you see now?”
Xinghui subconsciously nodded, also raised his hand and looked at his fingers.
There were traces of blood on his delicate palms and backs of his hands, scratched by the rough gravel.
But indeed, since the fragment of the deity merged into his body, he could see clearly now.
Yuanyuan stepped closer, his dark red eyes carefully staring at Xinghui’s black pupils.
Too close.
Xinghui expressionlessly raised his hand and pushed the man’s face away.
“You should get checked as soon as possible.”
Yuanyuan didn’t dare to be careless about Xinghui’s eyes. With his face pushed away by Xinghui, he still didn’t forget to offer advice.
Xinghui had no objections, just faintly responded and followed Yuanyuan back.
There was still a sense of exhaustion lingering on his body.
“We don’t know what’s happening outside yet. Let them all stay inside. I should be able to hold on until evening. When the wind and rain stop, and the dust settles, you can go out and see what happened. I’ll try to minimize the impact.”
Xinghui’s head was feeling a bit muddled again, and he unconsciously pinched the tip of his wing.
Soft, and the feathers were pitch black.
He instinctively picked out a relatively perfect feather from the middle, gently tugged at it.
Only then did he realize that it was someone else’s wingtip.
Little deity released his hand, immediately reverting back to his usual calm and reliable demeanor.
Yuanyuan’s body trembled slightly, turning his head to look at the tip of his own wings. The normally obedient feathers were now sticking out, as if they had just been pulled by someone but not plucked.
Did they want his feathers?
Yuanyuan glanced at Xinghui again, seeing the visible signs of exhaustion in his eyes.
“You’ve worked hard.”
Yuanyuan walked beside Xinghui, with one wing almost completely enveloping the little deity, blocking the gaze of outsiders, and deliberately walking very slowly to match the pace of the deity.
Shi Xi and Leng Rong stood behind the two.
Leng Rong was now looking up at the protective barrier above his head, feeling a bit bewildered and unsure of what to say.
This trip was completely different from what he had imagined.
Would the deity rush to the front to protect them?
Would he tear open such a big net and persist until evening to ensure their safety?
“Our Lord Deity is different.”
Shi Xi seemed to see through the doubts on Leng Rong’s face.
“He’s really trying to protect everything he can.”
Even for their robust demon clan.
Clearly, he liked to keep a cold face.
But he was so gentle and reliable that it instinctively made people offer their faith.
*
This disaster was unusual.
It came too suddenly and was too intense.
Xinghui reluctantly discussed the situation with the demons, confirming his uneasy thoughts. Besides such disasters, there might be more to come—
But Xinghui still couldn’t understand if it was because of disasters like this that his believers needed him to protect them, that he kept wanting more power.
When the wind and rain outside calmed down and there were no major problems visible besides the uneven ground, Xinghui’s protective net disappeared, and the little deity returned to his room.
Shi Xi had already sent people out to investigate the damage and to see if there were any unstable situations.
And Yuanyuan didn’t need to lend a hand for now.
He finally changed his clothes and walked down the corridor towards Xinghui’s room.
The examination of the little deity didn’t reveal any problems. It seemed that with the gradual increase in power, his vision was gradually returning. However, the world in his eyes was probably still different from that of ordinary people. Although he could see colors now, looking at inanimate objects was still not very clear. But his vision would not affect him much anymore, and he probably still needed to continue searching for deity fragments.
Yuanyuan thought to himself as he walked, holding a pitch-black feather in his hand, until he reached the door of Xinghui’s room and gently knocked twice.
There was no response from inside. He carefully pushed the door open and peeked inside.
“You wanted my feathers, didn’t you? I’ll give them to you—”
He didn’t finish his sentence, his voice suddenly lowered as he saw the situation inside. Yuanyuan was first stunned, unable to control his deep red eyes as he stared straight ahead. After who knows how long, he couldn’t help but bend his lips into a smile.
The little deity had changed into clean and comfortable clothes, leaning against the corner with the blanket only covering his knees. In his arms, he still held the light golden deity fragment, which had increased in size after merging. Xinghui’s head was resting on the star fragment, his fair side face soft, his little curls fluffy.
——Softly asleep.
Author’s Note:
Yuanyuan: Darling, darling, darling, why is my heart beating so fast?
Xinghui: Stare—probably sick.
