330: Spokesperson
Countless petals actually enveloped the suspended city, slowly lifting it.
A faint pink glow fell upon the people, and those who had been rigid quickly revived, regaining their vitality.
Even livestock and wild beasts rapidly became active again.
Under the City Lord's leadership, the entire city quickly recovered its former vibrancy.
Chen Tianming and the Goddess exited the city one after another, but this time, the Goddess also received the prostrations of the living beings.
She didn't care, following behind Chen Tianming with an expressionless face.
This time, Chen Tianming was also a bit unusual; he no longer paid attention to the Goddess, his thoughts seemingly adrift and aimless.
Conversely, the Goddess suddenly began to gaze at Chen Tianming.
She seemed able to see through Chen Tianming's thoughts and spoke concisely.
"You didn't try to comprehend my will of vitality; instead, you were wondering why I saved them?"
Chen Tianming was stunned for a moment, then turned his head.
"Ah! You saw through that! Hehe, you're quite strange. Why do you have the ability to revive living beings, yet you've always been unwilling to use it?"
The Goddess was indifferent.
"Bringing the dead back to life is going against the heavens. Although I possess divine power, going against the heavens is a thankless and arduous task!"
Chen Tianming's eyebrows twitched slightly, then he asked again.
"So why did you save people later?"
The Goddess immediately narrowed her eyes.
"Do I have to answer you? Walk!"
Chen Tianming spread his hands and continued forward.
A haze seemed to condense in the air; the entire Mystical Fantasy Continent visibly grew increasingly gloomy.
Beyond the entire planet, a black aura gradually enveloped the golden atmospheric clouds.
By the time the black aura had completely enveloped the golden planet without a trace, Chen Tianming finally led the Goddess back to Cage City.
They were welcomed with cheers and presented with flower wreaths.
Even the Goddess's collar was adorned with many flowers, and a strange feeling continuously emerged in her eyes.
Chen Tianming keenly noticed that in her eyes, filled with stars and the sea, there seemed to be humanity flowing.
As night deepened, Chen Tianming's plan slowly unfolded.
As soon as Chen Tianming got home, he put on a divine display of affection, showering his wife with passionate kisses and doting on his children.
He observed the Goddess's reaction from time to time.
She remained expressionless, but Chen Tianming noticed that her eyes were constantly darting away.
At this moment, Chen Tianming knew that his plan could now enter its final stage.
The Goddess was getting a bit impatient.
"Hey! Are you done yet?"
Chen Tianming rolled his eyes.
"What's the rush? Isn't one day in heaven ten years on earth? Just give me one night, just one night! That's one six-thousandth of a day in heaven! The Heavenly Realm won't be that meticulous!"
The Goddess didn't answer.
Chen Tianming spoke again.
"You already know where my home is, so are you afraid I'll run away? You stay, my family will take good care of you, and I'll prepare some delicious food and fine wine for you!"
The Goddess remained unmoved and spoke coldly.
"One night for a mortal? Very well, but if the sun rises tomorrow morning and you still don't come with me, I will clear out all your family members, remember, all of them!"
Chen Tianming immediately agreed.
He arranged light gauze curtains, a pavilion screen, surrounded by small bridges and rivers, a clear pond with lotus leaves, and lotus lanterns drifting about.
Countless delicacies and fine wines were brought out, but the Goddess disdained to enjoy them; she scoffed.
She didn't care what Chen Tianming was doing at this moment either.
She sat quietly cross-legged, as if she were not of this world.
But the scene was so beautiful that even the Goddess couldn't help but come to the pond's edge, her feet skimming the shimmering water.
Suddenly, a divine light flashed, and an unfamiliar battle armor actually appeared on the Goddess's body.
She was a little flustered.
Until Wan Yue passed by the small bridge, silently.
The Goddess, dressed in a flowing, resplendent gown and wearing a crown woven from stars, stood quietly beside a clear spring, as if she had merged with the natural world.
This made the Goddess even more flustered, and she spoke with a feigned coldness.
"Why do you disturb my tranquility?"
The Goddess's voice was like the tinkling of a spring, clear and carrying a hint of undeniable majesty.
Wan Yue immediately became alert and responded calmly.
"Respected Goddess, I am a believer, an admirer. I heard that you are a Heavenly God descended, and I have come specifically to ask for your guidance."
Then she knelt on one knee.
The Goddess feigned composure, though her heart was actually in a panic, pretending to be moved by Wan Yue's sincerity.
"Since that is the case, I shall chat with you for a while. But remember, regarding worldly matters, know what you know, and admit what you don't know; never force it."
During their conversation, Wan Yue continuously pretended to be conquered by the Goddess, and the Goddess gradually lowered her guard. The two discussed the marvels and hardships of managing space, as well as various strange tales from the Heavenly Realm.
However, Wan Yue quickly became certain in her heart.
The person before her was not the Goddess!
She was either an administrator or a spokesperson, but a god would never agree to a mortal's request.
It wasn't until the crescent moon turned pale that Wan Yue feigned her departure.
She quickly met with Chen Tianming.
Meanwhile, the Goddess, who had undergone a strange transformation in the pavilion, gradually flushed red.
She began to drink wine, compose poetry, taste delicacies, and boldly jumped into the river to swim, her divine body like white jade, rippling in the water.
But as she swam, the Goddess gradually fell into a trance.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the light gauze curtains, scattering into the cozy room.
The Goddess suddenly awoke to find herself lying on Chen Tianming's bed.
Her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes intertwined with anger and bewilderment.
Her former mysterious aloofness vanished in an instant, and her distorted face was filled with rage.
"You... what did you do to me!"
Her voice trembled, anger made her frantic, spiritual power surged around her body, lightning flashed and thunder roared, runes spun, like an impending storm about to erupt.
Chen Tianming's expression remained unchanged, completely composed.
"I just wanted to understand the Goddess's physiological structure more deeply, so... I added a little something to your wine to help you sleep, nothing more."
In an instant, the Goddess erupted.
Chen Tianming snapped his fingers, and the entire space began to collapse, spiritual power wildly distorted, and terrifying pressure spread in all directions.
Chen Tianming stuck out his tongue.
"Even a Goddess is afraid of medicine! Are you real or fake after all?"
Before he finished speaking, two powerful spiritual energies instantly collided, and the air in the room seemed to twist due to the fierce confrontation.
The two masses of spiritual energy exploded, and Chen Tianming and the Goddess almost simultaneously attacked again.
Explosions, terrifying flames, collapsing buildings, and the shaking of Cage City!
The duel between Chen Tianming and the Goddess was surprisingly evenly matched.
But the city's inhabitants were all dumbfounded.
Ding Xiaoyu glanced at Wan Yue, and in their shared gaze, both saw unprecedented shock in the other's eyes.
The "Goddess" was enraged.
"Chen Tianming! Your strength is beyond imagination, but that doesn't mean you can act recklessly!" The Goddess's aura was slightly unstable.
Chen Tianming smiled slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"My beautiful Goddess, perhaps this is fate, allowing us to have an unforgettable encounter. However, Goddess, why don't you try going back to the Heavenly Realm to find a rescuer?"
