A goddess at the doorstep

Right now, in front of Liang Lidong was a slanted flight of stairs, also made of pure gold, reaching straight into the clouds. At the end of the stairs, there was a bright golden dot. With his current eyesight, of course, he could see that it was another round golden floating platform made of pure gold.

"Come up!"

A mature female voice filled with majesty filled the entire world. The world seemed very vast, but Liang Lidong could tell from the time delay in the echoes that it wasn't too far away, probably only a few kilometers. In other words, the sky, mountains, and scenery in the distance shouldn't be real. In Earth's terms, they were most likely 'pasted pictures'.

"Quickly come up!"

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the person seemed to 'see' that Liang Lidong didn't respond, so she spoke again. This time, there was a hint of displeasure in her voice.

But Liang Lidong still didn't pay attention to her. Instead, he looked at his hands … which were translucent. Even his clothes and his whole body were translucent.

This situation was very obvious. He was in a soul state. In other words, he had been pulled into a special small world by a powerful lifeform that could make souls appear. Generally, a lifeform that could do this was at least a demigod-level powerhouse. From the small situation he had encountered before entering the world, and after seeing the floating building made of pure gold, he was certain of the identity of the person who had pulled him into the world.

Generally speaking, if one's soul fell into someone else's world, they would be at the mercy of others. However, as a player, Liang Lidong naturally knew a lot of secrets, such as how to quickly escape from the soul world, or how to quickly leave the Dimensional Plane.

Meeting a god in a soul state was a very unreliable matter, and it could even be said to be very dangerous. Because the soul was too fragile, it could be easily 'modified' by others. Although Goddess Woking was a neutral god, she had used a divine technique to pull his soul into the world instead of his body, which made Liang Lidong somewhat vigilant.

Perhaps the other party didn't have any ill intentions, but Liang Lidong didn't want to put himself in danger. A mortal's soul was incomparable to a god's. It was like the difference between an ant and an elephant. If the other party was unhappy and sneezed, it could cause great damage to Liang Lidong's soul.

Therefore, Liang Lidong did not plan to meet with him for the time being. Even if he wanted to meet with him, Liang Lidong had to ensure that he would not be harmed.

Without hesitation, Liang Lidong released his mental force and wrapped it around himself. He then took out the Pseudo Emperor Fallen Sword from his spatial bag and stabbed it into his heart.

Meanwhile. He seemed to have heard a surprised 'huh?'. It was the woman.

There was no bleeding, no pain, just darkness, and then he returned to the real world. He was still standing in front of the statue, but the golden light in the statue's eyes was gradually fading. When the golden light in the statue's eyes disappeared completely, Liang Lidong stood on his tiptoes. He patted the goddess's head lightly and felt much better.

The sun outside the temple was bright and beautiful. Although it was also very hot, to the professionals, this kind of sunlight was only very gentle.

It was almost night, and he planned to make himself something to eat. When he was practicing Mist Riding in the back of the mountain, his magic detected edible mushrooms nearby, along with the mountain and wild vegetables that the villagers brought. He could try a hotpot. Unfortunately, there was no tofu, or the hotpot would taste better.

Eating hotpot in such a hot weather was just how capricious a professional was.

He quickly cooked the soup base for himself, and washed the wild game and vegetables and placed them aside. No one knew when Joan had returned from outside. She stayed by the side and looked at the hot pot, drooling.

Just as Liang Lidong was about to pick up his chopsticks, two carriages entered the village. The one in the lead was a beautiful woman. She came directly to the entrance of the divine temple. After hesitating for a while, she took a deep breath. The two snowy plains swelled up as if they were about to burst her clothes. Then, she exhaled the air in her lungs heavily. Her whole person became firm and determined. Finally, she held a small box and walked through the door of the divine temple.

Liang Lidong picked up a few pieces of wild meat and was about to put them into the pot, when he saw a white shadow standing outside the temple. He raised his head and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Mrs. Mayor, it's almost night. You've come to Reed Village?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Beta." The mayor's wife came close and opened her red lips. "Inside the box is the equivalent of this month's gold. Because my husband needs to patrol the border, I'm here to escort the profits."

"Please sit down." Liang Lidong asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"Well, not yet!" The mayor's wife seemed rather nervous.

"Then let's have dinner together."

The mayor's wife took a deep breath. "Aren't you going to count?"

"You don't have to fool me about the numbers, so I believe that this is what I deserve." Liang Lidong stood up, took the box, and put it aside. "I just made a new delicacy. You probably haven't tried it before. Why don't you try it?"

It was obvious that the mayor's wife was a little afraid of Liang Lidong. The latter probably knew what was going on. After all, he had taken advantage of the young woman in front of him, whose figure was almost comparable to that of Blondie and Whitey.

Liang Lidong didn't think that the mayor's wife would accept his invitation, but he still had to ask. After all, this was the proper etiquette to greet a guest.

But to his surprise, the mayor's wife bit her red lips and thought for a while before nodding in agreement.

She actually agreed! Liang Lidong was very surprised. After all, for a woman, people who had harassed her should be as hateful as tigers and wolves, and the farther away they were, the better. Why did she agree to the invitation? Was she not afraid that he would do something inappropriate to a young woman again?

Under Liang Lidong's slightly puzzled gaze, the mayor's wife sat across from Liang Lidong in a very ladylike manner. She looked at the boiling vegetables and game in the pot with a rather interested expression.

Liang Lidong couldn't figure out what the woman was thinking, but he had invited her, and she had agreed. What was done could not be undone. He had no choice but to take out a knife and fork from his dimensional backpack and hand them to her.

Because of the rebellion of his "foodie nature" last time, Liang Lidong kept an eye on things. Now, he always had cooking utensils and seasonings in his dimensional backpack, as well as some easy-to-preserve dry food and jerky, in case of emergencies.

Using a knife and fork to eat the hotpot was not a wise choice. Liang Lidong voluntarily picked up some of the food in the hotpot, put them on a plate, and handed them to the other party.

Sophia ate the food very politely. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with the food. Her eyes were curved with a smile. Seeing this, Liang Lidong guessed that the mayor's wife probably stayed because she wanted to eat something delicious. After all, the food in Hollevin was too horrible. The most delicious Stargazy Pie was no different from sh*t in his eyes.

"It's delicious, and it doesn't seem too difficult to make." Sophia's watery eyes stopped on Liang Lidong's face. "Mr. Beta, can you teach me how to make this food? I can exchange it for enough gold coins."

"I'll write it to you later. There's no need for money. "Liang Lidong shook his head. It was just a way to make a regular hotpot, which was not worth much at all. As she spoke, Liang Lidong noticed the back of her right hand with the bronze Gemini coat of arms. He asked curiously, "After you became a Second-Class Knight, did you find anything inappropriate?" There was a reason why Liang Lidong asked this.

There was a reason why Liang Lidong asked this question. The Inferior Knights were the subordinates of the Knights of the Round Table, and because there was a person between them, the rules of Liang Lidong's' system 'would sometimes fail to apply to the Inferior Knights. Occasionally, the Inferior Knights would be conferred a title, but their abilities could not be corrected.

"Not really." Sophia glanced at Liang Lidong. Then she continued eating. After swallowing the meat in her mouth, she asked, "Your ability is very suitable for raising a family, but I've never heard of any family or race that has such an ability. So, I'm very curious about your family background and your real surname. "

Liang Lidong shrugged. "I don't know why it's like this."

Sophia knew that he didn't want to talk about his family, so she didn't ask anymore. Instead, she asked, "After Uther became your Knight, his ability increased greatly … There should be five Round-Table Knight spots, right? Now that Uther has been given one spot, there should be four left."

Liang Lidong glanced at her. "After you were conferred the title of Second-Class Knight by Uther, one of the five swords around the coat of arms on the back of Uther's hand dimmed. You deduced that from that, right?"

Sophia nodded. "Indeed! Since you still have four spots, can you give Barbara another Round-Table Knight spot? "

Liang Lidong shook his head. "Actually, the other spots have already been reserved. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want Uther to be my enemy, I would have made him a Knight. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been happy. After all, Uther isn't young anymore, and his potential is almost exhausted. If I carve the coat of arms on the back of his hand, I would have been at a disadvantage in a way."

Sophia hurriedly said, "But Barbara is still young. She's still the fiancée of your student."

"Barbara isn't in a hurry. When Uther is older, he can pass his coat of arms on to his daughter." Liang Lidong said calmly, "It's already quite good for a family to have one Round-Table Knight. You actually want two? That's a bit greedy."

Hearing this, Sophia stuck out her cute pink tongue like a little girl. She then swallowed two pieces of game, stood up, and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. After all, as a wife, it's not very good to spend the night at another man's house."

Liang Lidong curled his lips and said helplessly, "I remember someone was trying so hard to seduce me a while ago, and now she's afraid to spend the night here?"

"That was then, and this is now. After all, my husband isn't home now, and I have to avoid arousing suspicion! "Sophia said as she swayed her hips and left.

Liang Lidong shouted at her back, "Leave a follower here. I'll write down the recipe for this food later and give it to him so he can take it back."

"Got it!" Sophia replied without turning her head.

She left the temple, got on the carriage, and had the carriage immediately rush back. Sitting in the wobbly carriage, she lowered the curtains on both sides, and then let out a soft moan … There was something slippery between her legs. If she didn't leave soon, she was afraid that her rationality would disappear and she would take the initiative to throw herself into his arms. But she knew very well that tonight's dream must be that kind of impure thing again.

Liang Lidong didn't know what exactly happened to Sophia. After eating the hotpot, he rested for a while, and then began to practice magic. When it was late at night, he climbed into bed and slept. Not long after he closed his eyes, he suddenly found himself in his own dream.

He was surrounded by tall buildings and heavy traffic. The pedestrians around him were wearing western-style clothes or long skirts and hot pants. Many of them were holding different types of mobile phones in their hands, so he was very sure that this was his dream.

He knew that he had now dived into the world of his subconscious. Normally, such a situation would not occur unless he was in a high-intensity meditation, or his soul was invaded. Only then would his surface consciousness be pulled into the world of his subconscious and cooperate with the subconscious to defend himself.

Golden cracks appeared in the blue sky, and at the same time, there was a loud noise, as if someone was knocking on an eggshell outside.

With a wave of Liang Lidong's hand, the surrounding skyscrapers disappeared and were replaced by a boundless yellow Gobi Desert. With another wave of his hand, densely packed D-41 intercontinental nuclear missile vehicles painted in yellow and green camouflage appeared on the Gobi Desert.

The huge metal tubular object at the back of each of the vehicles had already been erected!

This was Liang Lidong's Soul World, and he was the creator of this place. He could imagine everything that he had seen before.

The tortoises in the sky grew bigger and bigger, and soon the whole blue sky was shattered into pieces. The sky turned black, as if it was a black hole. A giant, golden-armored woman appeared in the sky. She was holding a golden scepter in her right hand, and there was a vertical golden ring on the top of the scepter. In the ring, there was a small golden ball floating.

The woman wanted to step in from the sky, but when she saw the densely packed strange metal beasts and the giant metal tubes, her scalp went numb. Although she had never seen these things before, she could feel that they were disgusting and scary.

"Is this how you treat your guests?" The woman's mouth did not move, but her mature and authoritative voice filled the entire space of Liang Lidong's consciousness.

"If you came with good intentions, you wouldn't use such rough means to knock open my soul and spirit shell!" Liang Lidong looked up at the huge woman in the sky: "Goddess Woking, although I am not your true believer, I have helped you develop quite a few followers. You repay kindness with enmity, this is not what a guest should do."
