Three days later
After the reforms led by Mu Chen, the God Realm has established the Inner Cabinet. The land of the God Realm now belongs to all living beings within it. From now on, anyone wishing to settle down in the God Realm will need to spend God Coins to buy a house.
Of course, the Goddess of Life's true form is the Ancient Tree of Life, and the Goddess of Kindness's true form is the Lake of Goodness. The areas within a fifty-mile radius of the Ancient Tree of Life and the Lake of Goodness are privately owned by the two goddesses. Without the consent of the two goddesses, no one except Mu Chen is allowed to easily step into the Ancient Tree of Life and the Lake of Goodness.
Under the Ancient Tree of Life, there is a table made of Wood Vine, adorned with many delicious dishes. The Goddess of Kindness is guiding a silver-haired beauty, whose eyes are also silver, to this table.
The table is composed of countless roots as fine as hair, and both the table and chairs are part of the Ancient Tree of Life. They emit a hazy green light. It is said that if an ordinary person sits here, they can survive without eating grains and extend their lifespan!
"I think I'll pass; my appetite has been really poor these past few days," the silver-haired beauty glances at the food on the table.
"It's precisely because I heard you have no appetite that I prepared some delicious food to whet your appetite," the Goddess of Life walks out from a small path, holding a tray with a jade-like wine jug. A rich life energy overflows from it, enveloping the jug and causing it to emit a greenish glow.
It is not merely a pure green light; there are also specks of white and pink light.
"What is this?" the Silver Dragon King asks.
"Just try it and see how it tastes. This is my latest concoction," the Goddess of Life smiles at the Silver Dragon King, avoiding the question.
"I really don't have an appetite," the Silver Dragon King replies lightly.
"Gu Yue, are you still mad at me?" the Goddess of Life frowns.
"Not at all. You are now Mu Chen's woman, and Mu Chen has done me a favor. How could I be angry with you? You helped the God of Asura split me in half, and I helped Mu Chen eliminate your husband, the God of Destruction. We're even now," the Silver Dragon King answers calmly.
"Since that's the case, we should put aside our past grievances and continue to be good friends. This is something I specially researched for you; you should try it," the Goddess of Life smiles.
"No need," the Silver Dragon King glances at the crystal-clear liquid. The energy within is very complex, containing the Power of Life, the Power of Goodness, and a hint of evil power. Out of caution, the Silver Dragon King does not drink it.
"Are you still angry with me?" the Goddess of Life asks.
"No!" the Silver Dragon King replies without hesitation.
"Then why won't you drink my offering? Are you worried I poisoned it to harm you?" the Goddess of Life inquires.
"You're overthinking it," the Silver Dragon King replies coolly, still not taking the drink from the Goddess of Life.
"You must be worried I want to harm you again. How about this: since you don't trust me, I'll drink it in front of you," the Goddess of Life says, picking up a wine cup and taking a sip of the liquid.
Gulp, gulp.
The Goddess of Life's throat moves, and the Silver Dragon King watches everything closely.
"Now you can rest assured, right?" the Goddess of Life asks while handing the half-full cup to the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King looks at the liquid in the cup. She is well-versed in herbs and does not detect any unusual smell or difference in the liquid. Moreover, since the Goddess of Life has already drunk some, she thinks to herself that the Goddess of Life wouldn't dare to poison herself.
At that moment, the Silver Dragon King lowers her guard and drinks the liquid in one go.
As the liquid enters her stomach, the Silver Dragon King does not sense anything wrong. A surge of life energy nourishes her entire body, especially rekindling her appetite.
After a hundred years apart, the Goddess of Life, the Goddess of Kindness, and the Silver Dragon King finally open their hearts to each other. About half an hour later, the Silver Dragon King feels increasingly hot and asks, "Do you feel hot?"
"No!" the Goddess of Kindness replies.
"Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit warm," the Goddess of Life says lightly.
"This heat is strange; I can't seem to cool down with God Power. I can feel the source of the heat in my lower abdomen," the Silver Dragon King fans her face with her hand.
"Gu Yue, you made a mistake in what you just said," the Goddess of Kindness grins mischievously.
"Oh? What did I say wrong?" the Silver Dragon King asks.
"You said our grievances are settled, but that's not entirely true. Have you forgotten that a few days ago, you brought Mu Chen here and allowed me to fulfill my wish of having my child?" the Goddess of Kindness caresses her belly.
"A child?" the Silver Dragon King stands up, looking at the Goddess of Kindness's abdomen, instinctively sensing that this is all a conspiracy.
"Yes. You've been so good to us, letting Mu Chen get us both pregnant. As good friends, how could I not report this to you?" the Goddess of Kindness grins mischievously.
"Is there something wrong with the drink?" the Silver Dragon King's heart sinks, her expression turning serious.
"Don't worry, it's just an aphrodisiac," the Goddess of Kindness reassures her.
"An aphrodisiac?" the Silver Dragon King's face changes, finally realizing why she feels so hot. She furrows her brow and looks at the Goddess of Life, "Wait, you drank it too?"
"That's why I feel a bit warm as well," the Goddess of Life smiles.
"Uh!"
The Silver Dragon King's heart tightens, and the saying finally echoes in her mind: Fire prevention, theft prevention, and best friend prevention. The Silver Dragon King curses inwardly; she has once again been trapped by her best friend.
The Silver Dragon King no longer has time to blame the Goddess of Life. God Power surges from her body as she tries to expel the heat.
"It's useless."
The Goddess of Life shakes her head, "This drug is made from Fairy Grass cultivated by me, the Goddess of Kindness, and the former supreme God of Evil. The aphrodisiac factors have already spread to every cell in your body, becoming part of them. Unless you abandon this body, the only way to relieve the heat you're feeling is to merge with someone."
"You…"
The Silver Dragon King bites her red lip lightly, glaring at the Goddess of Life in anger. Does she really have to find a man to merge with to relieve this intense heat?
But who should she find?
The image of Mu Chen appears in the Silver Dragon King's mind. If she had to choose a lifelong partner among all her suitors, the Silver Dragon King would definitely choose Mu Chen.
