Chapter 1004: Return Trip (Part 1)
Baishou Qianwo... Can split into a hundred one-year-old infants at most?
After the handshake, Lyon couldn't help but flash a look of understanding as he looked at the Shuangzi Dangshi, who appeared to be only in his early teens.
This thing not only had a top-notch life-saving effect—any of the one hundred bodies could survive, and as long as one remained, the others wouldn't die. Moreover, once the division was done in advance, the abnormal objects would become dormant, and there wouldn't be any worry about them not activating in the Yuan Shen tai.
From this perspective, he was indeed the best candidate to come to the Yuan Shen tai. No wonder he was sent here.
"Alright, now that we've met, let's go up."
Smiling kindly at Lyon, about one-eightieth of the Shuangzi Dangshi patted the bizarre creature beneath him. The abstract-looking creature grunted a couple of times and then strangely sprouted a new neck, which twisted and bent in front of Lyon and the other person.
"This is the Ejing Hushen, a true deity of an ancient race that lived in the present world before humans arrived. It has very magical abilities and can cross the entire plane in just a few minutes.
Although it's a true deity, it doesn't have much intelligence, similar to a beast driven by instinct. It accidentally entered the Yuan Shen tai and couldn't get out, so it's been wandering around here ever since."
After a brief introduction to the strange mount, the Shuangzi Dangshi gestured for Lyon and the other person to climb onto the Ejing Hushen's neck, secured the captured deities, and then whistled sharply into the dark starry sky.
"Shew—"
The sharp whistle was brief, and in the surprised gazes of Lyon and the other person, several of the flickering stars in the distance suddenly expanded, transforming into the Shuangzi Dangshi, rushing hurriedly toward the Yuanming niban.
"Those are also me, but I didn't call them over before because I wasn't sure about the situation here."
After explaining why the other clones hadn't come over, the Shuangzi Dangshi looked at Lyon and chuckled:
"In the past, when I wanted to come to the Yuanming niban, I could only come a few at a time and would often be discovered and killed by the deities. Now that you've captured so many deities at once, we should be able to move freely here for a while. You've really helped me a lot this time."
"Thank you, sir..."
Watching the clones cheerfully jump into the mud pit one by one, Lyon couldn't help but ask curiously:
"They jump in like that to find the imprints of the deities on the Yuanming niban, right?"
"That's right."
The Shuangzi Dangshi nodded, patting the Ejing Hushen's back to get it moving while answering:
"My main task here is to find the imprints left by ancient deities on the Yuanming niban and deal with those troublesome beings.
Unlike the deities you've captured, these ancient deities, like the Ejing Hushen, are quite powerful but have low intelligence and often lack a clear sense of self. Many are just beasts driven by instinct, which makes them harder to handle than deities with intelligence.
A typical deity, once killed, would take at least thirty to fifty years to be reborn from their corresponding authority. However, the 'selves' of these ancient deities are so thin that some can recover in just a few months. It's better to keep them locked up rather than put in the effort to kill them... um..."
At this point, the Shuangzi Dangshi paused slightly and then looked at the red-haired Bureau Chief, who had naturally sat behind Lyon and wrapped his arms around his waist, hesitantly asking:
"He is your..."
"Hmm?"
"Isn't this clear enough?"
Upon hearing the question from the Shuangzi Director, the Red-haired Bureau Chief's eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upward. Lyon's heart, on the other hand, leaped with a sudden sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, seizing the opportunity to stir things up, the Red-haired Bureau Chief wasted no time. She clasped her hands together and locked Lyon's waist firmly, then replied with a sweet smile:
"Little lover~"
I knew it!!!
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Faced with the Red-haired Bureau Chief, who had just shrugged off the pressure and was back to her usual frivolous self, Lyon couldn't help but turn around, glare at her, and push her back a bit, slightly annoyed:
"Can't you just—"
"You're so naughty~"
"?"
With a bewildered look, Lyon watched as the Red-haired Bureau Chief, whose shoulder he had just pushed, blushed and crossed her arms, moving back a bit with a playful scowl:
"There are people here! Don't touch me randomly!"
"..."
It's not like your shoulder is that sensitive, right?
Seeing the Red-haired Bureau Chief, who was clearly up to her old tricks and teasing him, Lyon rolled his eyes and turned his head away.
Based on his repeated experiences of being teased, the best response in such situations was to ignore her. The more he "resisted," the more she enjoyed it, and she would only escalate her actions, even to the point of... Holy crap!
A warm, damp sensation brushed against his cheek, and Lyon, who had been preparing to ignore her, couldn't help but shudder. He turned around with a confused look just in time to see the tip of her tongue, a pale pink, disappear between her lustrous lips.
"Ew! What are you doing? Gross!"
"It's fine~ I don't mind~"
With a gentle force, the Red-haired Bureau Chief held Lyon tightly, her cheeks flushed. She leaned forward, her chin resting lightly on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and said with a smile:
"Lyon~ You really smell good~"
"..."
It's not like... you haven't forgotten about that, have you?
Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the Red-haired Bureau Chief's over-the-line actions, Lyon couldn't help but frown, wanting to scold her. However, as she leaned closer, his Lake of Heart, which had been burdened with pressure, now felt as light as a feather, and it moved with her body.
"..."
Tsk... Fine, just this once!
Using the vision provided by the "Lake of Hearts Ability," Lyon clearly saw the joy in the Red-haired Bureau Chief's heart and fell silent for a moment. He then stopped trying to evade and allowed her to lean on him.
Ever since the Snake Lord's erosion of the country, the Bureau Chief had been tormented by guilt for far too long. Now that everything was mostly settled and her greatest regret had a chance to be remedied, her momentary loss of composure was understandable.
After all, for someone who was constantly tormented by the pain of blood and slaughter, and could only numb herself with alcohol, this was probably one of the most peaceful and relaxed moments she had had in years. Even if he wanted to scold her, it didn't have to be now. Just one lick, right? Why won't you stop?
