"Where is she?!"
Enshrouded in a black robe, Evil seemed to merge into the darkness. He surveyed the surroundings and, after a moment, ascended to midair, scanning the environment within a hundred meters. Yet, he found no trace of Gu Yuena.
Just then, the message from Asura God transmitted through his Divine Sense arrived.
"What?! Back already... doesn't that mean she's right beside Lin Yi now? Asura God, are you sure you want me to do this?"
The look in Asura God's eyes grew intense, "There's no choice, we cannot delay this matter any longer. Have you forgotten how embarrassed we were today?"
"It's fortunate that today's rewards haven't really hurt us, but what about tomorrow?"
"Or say, what if Gu Yuena sneaks into the Divine Realm at any time we're unaware of? You're not afraid of her, but do you fear the Dragon God? Evil, we cannot afford to procrastinate on this."
Evil, listening to the transmission in his mind, descended to the ground and gazed towards Soul City with a complex look in his eyes.
Then, Asura God continued in a calm voice, "As long as you prevent her from making any disturbance, we can ensure absolute safety. Trust in yourself; we will be observing at all times and provide support as needed."
"Okay."
Evil nodded and, in an instant, vanished from the spot.
Sitting on the side, Sea God overhearing Asura God's words, couldn't help but grumble internally.
If there really is any support, it most likely doesn't include me... Ha, I wouldn't go; one would need to be crazy to face Lin Yi a second time.
Not everyone is as mad as this lunatic, Sea God thought, casting a surreptitious glance at the Destruction God.
This insane fellow seems intent on having a showdown with Lin Yi.
Sea God noticed that the Destruction God's gaze was fixed firmly on the direction of the cabin all along.
…
"It's not something you need to consider… Yes, I accept."
Wang Qiu'er shyly looked at Lin Yi.
The latter, slightly surprised, asked, "You accept? You will lose your freedom for life, even your right to choose."
Wang Qiu'er lightly shook her head, "To me, the respect and trust everyone has in you is not solely because you reward them. You are honorable and revered, Senior... I trust you too, Senior Lin Yi."
At this moment, Lin Yi slightly lifted his head, glanced at the unwavering heart-shaped arrow over Wang Qiu'er's head, and understood roughly what was happening.
Dangerous thoughts, Beauty.
There's no happy ending with loving me.
You only see my façade; do you truly understand who I am inside?
"Alright, if that's the case, you won't need to go back when the Spatiotemporal Gate closes."
Wang Qiu'er suddenly sat up straight on her chair, her eyes lighting up, "Then, from when can I start serving you?!"
People always tend to get close to those who are advantageous to them and whom they have a good feeling for, by any means, and to present that in a way they like.
Lin Yi thought for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless because there were already so many servants...
Aside from the rewards, there were already three living people.
"Let's set it to the day the Spatiotemporal Gate closes. If anything changes, I'll inform you then."
Wang Qiu'er gently swung her legs and asked again, "Then, as your servant, what should I do?"
In her heart, Lin Yi's status was higher than that of the gods, and calling herself Lin Yi's servant was not disgraceful at all; in fact, it even gave rise to a sense of pride.
Lin Yi: "Do whatever I tell you to do, and when I have no requests, do anything that makes me feel comfortable."
Wang Qiu'er's face turned a light shade of red as she gently pursed her lips, "Okay."
Gu Yuena looked down dejectedly, her head lowered.
Her Gold Intermediate reward only allowed her to stay beside Lin Yi for one day, while Wang Qiu'er had all eternity.

Is what I so look forward to something that others can easily obtain as an Auspicious Beast?
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the stars in the sky.
Suddenly, she saw a distorted black figure separating from the night.
This was a tall figure whose footsteps were steady and powerful, yet he approached without making a sound, each step seeming to leap through space, bringing him rapidly closer like a ghost.
Gu Yuena's eyes widened in fear. This oppressive aura could almost only prove one thing— a god!
The dense space elements swiftly enveloped half of Gu Yuena's body, but the man in black merely extended his hand and absorbed all the silver radiance into his sleeve, while his other hand quickly lifted and pressed against Gu Yuena's forehead.
Gu Yuena's eyes closed, and her body went limp, falling backwards. Evil immediately raised his hand to block her falling back while his eyes warily glanced at the wooden hut.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Yi turned his head to the side, feeling as though Gu Yuena's presence had vanished. Had she left?
Evil let out a breath softly, as if to relieve the tension within.
"Done."
The Kindness God looked down at the scene with joy.
The Asura God nodded with satisfaction, "Evil always gets the job done reliably."
Good, the ambush was a success. Although we could definitely have captured the Silver Dragon King head-on, making a noise would have been unavoidable.
This woman reacted quickly... But luckily, my reaction was even faster, hmph.
Evil hoisted Gu Yuena onto his shoulder, and her silver and gold interwoven long hair immediately fell down, covering her extremely beautiful face.
Just then, Evil focused on a certain direction and squinted his eyes, "What is that thing?"
On a platform to the front right, a round and plump thing was rolling around in boredom, round and round, freely and carelessly.
All of a sudden, the rotund thing stopped, flipped its body on the platform as if looking in this direction.
Evil: ?
Tuan Tuan: ?
A god and a ball stared at each other for five full seconds.
Then, a soft and terrified cry suddenly rang out, "Master!!! Thief! Kidnapping a woman! Tuan Tuan is so scared!!!"
Evil was so frightened that his face contorted, what the what is this...this thing?!
And it can even speak?!
"Shh! Shut up!"
Evil immediately whispered to Tuan Tuan who was rolling wildly on the platform.
But this thing not only kept rolling, it also kept shouting, and damn it was a soprano!
The five gods in another space were dumbfounded.
They had watched all day and had not realized that the thing Lin Yi had been sitting on was alive!
It is alive! Darn!
The Asura God immediately stepped forward and spoke in a growl, "Quickly take the Silver Dragon King back to the Divine Realm!"
Evil nodded and his body transformed into a cluster of black light points flying up into the sky, but just at that moment, the light points were suddenly grabbed by a hand.
The five gods silently watched the scene below.
"Master!!! You've finally come out! If you were any later, the thief would have taken away your beloved Tuan Tuan too! Such shrimpy brains!"
Lin Yi's expression was indifferent as he flung the black mass in his hand towards the ground beside him.
Evil rolled several times on the ground, the unconscious Gu Yuena also rolled several times, her pale legs sustaining several bloody wounds from the ground.
