My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 242: Deliver Dinner

"I can’t eat and drink anymore, but I want more..." Amy lay her head on the table while patting her stomach. She was carried away by pleasure and overate seafood.

"I’ve reminded you to eat in moderation." Elysia sipped her tea in serenity.

"But~ I can’t resist the temptation of heavenly food feast! I’ve never eaten food this delicious before. The raw ingredients are nothing more than mortal meat, but why am I so full of energy? The spices and seasonings come from the heavenly paradise for sure." Amy raised her hands high as if conveying her complaints to the heavens.

"Hmm... Unfortunately, no. These spices come from my mama’s garden, not from the Divine World or heavenly paradise." Miko also sipped her tea in peace.

"You are the honorable Agent of Heaven, but you looked like a starving girl a few minutes ago. May I know what you usually eat in the upper world?" Nell raised her eyebrows. She felt the Heaven Rank was stingy to serve their people with only fruits and veggies.

"We actually don’t need to eat and drink to survive. We are fine not to consume anything for even a hundred years. As Gods and Immortals of Heaven, we sometimes eat heavenly fruits and vegetables. They taste good and are nice for improving one’s cultivation. But, this! Supreme Goddess’ delicacies are both good to improve one’s cultivation, and the taste is truly heavenly." Amy raised the nearby creamy seafood pizza high as if it were a heavenly treasure.

She was full. Thus, she immediately preserved that pizza in her private storage space to eat later.

"Heavenly fruits and vegetables only?" Lifa covered her mouth and glanced at Fortuna.

The other Goddesses also stared at the Goddess of Fate and Fortune.

"Err... why are you all looking at me? Yes, it’s similar. I previously also only ate raw fruits and veggies. However, that was before I met Ely..." Fortuna recalled her life in Earth’s Heaven.

Her current self could no longer live without Elysia. Everything started from her tummy, Elysia won her over, and then she joined Elysia’s family. She thought about the nearby Agent of Heaven. It might be a matter of time until Amy would side with Elysia over He-Dao.

"Be careful. It may taste like heaven, but it can also send you to heaven if you overeat." Rhea sighed and shook her head.

"Huh? Does this food have a teleportation array to the upper world? How can a food send me to heaven?" Amy was stunned for a moment.

"My big sister wants to say that you can explode to death if you overeat. Don’t you see the rich spiritual energy in one full serving?" Nell reprimanded the undisciplined agent.

"I see... Yes, I might explode to death if I eat a hundred servings at once..." Amy nodded in agreement.

"Yuuki, how is your progress?" Elysia moved closer to Yuuki, who was eating dinner in silence.

"Mm, I am improving steadily, thanks to your guidance, master. After I comprehend the new stage version of the Immortal Ice, I can jump into battle without emitting a cold aura and freezing myself." Yuuki felt happy and warm over her master’s attention and help.

She received the most significant benefit and assistance from her master’s side. Still, it was regrettable because she couldn’t join the other members in their conquest mission due to her little setback.

Her greatest wish was to be useful for her master. However, she got herself frozen every time she used her ice technique underwater. Therefore, she was there, back to practicing her technique again, and her master had to revise it.

"Mm, that’s wonderful. Don’t rush it." Elysia gave Yuuki a head pat.

"Hm-mhm~ I will master it in less than three days, master. I will punish the incoming evildoers into frozen seafood." Yuuki enjoyed her master’s touch but didn’t indulge in comfort because her determination was set to not disappoint her master.

"Err... we might not need to fight on the day of the invasion. They will lose before the fight starts. Well then, you can continue your training and meditation after dinner. I need to check on our people and send them dinner, then we can sleep." Elysia got up from her seat.

"Understood. No staying up all night." Yuuki nodded like an obedient fox. She knew she had to go to sleep when her master returned.

"Please allow me to come along." Rhea immediately stood up, following Elysia.

"Alright. Miko, Megami, accompany me." Elysia extended her hand.

"Mkay~" Miko was happy to follow her mama anywhere.

Megami replied with a subtle nod and followed Elysia like a good daughter.

Elysia then bid her farewell to everyone and asked her Goddess sisters to guard the prospective Mermaid Kingdom area for a while.

Since Amy still wanted to play the Duel Trial Artifact for a few more matches, she would stay and guard that region for Goddess Elysia. With four divine beings around, that newly rejuvenated area would be safe. Yuuki could also practice and meditate in peace under good protection.

"Aargh, don’t burn me alive!"

"Then, state the truth. Where are you selling those mermaids?"

"I can’t breathe! Don’t smear me with that salty oil on my wound. It’s hurt!"

"Answer my question, or I will cut your fish tail and feed it to the cats."

"No, not my fishtail! Hey, I never cut any mermaid’s fish tail. Why would I receive the same threat as them!?"

"It doesn’t matter. You’ve made many of us suffer. Now, how about this? Should we cut your future? We don’t need black-hearted merfolk like you to multiply."

"Don’t you dare to cut my pee-pee! I warn you. The Empire is at my back. The Sea Emperor and the Sea God will destroy you and the Mermaid Kingdom!"

"We waste too much time. If they keep talking nonsense, just cut their fish tail and future first. We can extract what we wanted with other means, but it might be very, very painful~"

"No, no! I will talk! No, keep those blades out of my pants first!"

Several mermen, slave merchant higher-ups, and big bosses behind the mermaid’s pitiful fate were interrogated by many mermaids.

*Poof*

Elysia brought her small group to Xentia’s side using an instant teleportation. Xentia was usually in the command room, but not this time.

The sight they encountered was astounding. Several mermaids were ’roasting’ several mermen for interrogation.

Those mermen wouldn’t be burned alive or killed easily before the information got extracted. However, there was something wrong with the interrogators. The mermaids resembled psychopaths, and they took pleasure in punishing those guys.

"What’s going on? Interrogation room?" Miko asked in an astonished tone.

"No looking." Megami covered Miko’s eyes.

"!?" Xentia and several girls gasped when they heard a familiar voice behind them.

Everyone turned around and found their master, her two avatars, and the Goddess of Nature arrived without prior notice.

"Greetings, master." Xentia knelt like an honorable knight.

Everyone, except the prisoners, immediately knelt down by reflex.

Xentia then continued. "My apologies to show you such a disgraceful sight. They are the big masterminds behind the mermaid slave trading. These mermaids wish to interrogate them and punish them personally."

"Do what you need to do. The information they have to offer is useless because the entire sea will bring all the mermaids to the Mermaid Kingdom. They won’t even dare keep a single one behind when the time comes." Elysia closed her eyes and walked away.

She pretended not to see anything as she didn’t want to get involved in the other mermaid’s personal grudge. They might have suffered a lot because of those evildoers. She would fulfill Dory’s wish to save the mermaids and change their fate. It would also be a salvation to this ocean and restore it to the proper law and order.

"Come with us and call our people for a meeting." Rhea raised her hand, making Xentia stand up with a wind magic.

"Elder sister, I can’t see. Why are you blocking both my perception and sight? I can feel Azrael’s aura and some of my disciples nearby. Don’t just stand there. Come with us." Miko held her elder sister’s arms. She tried to peek, but her elder sister was adamant about ensuring she couldn’t see anything.

"Affirmative." Xentia followed her master obediently.

"Err... are we going to get scolded?"

"I don’t think so. We’re just grilling the fish, right?"

"Yeah. They are as good as grilled fish."

"No, they’re just some useless rotten fish. Just throw them to the Devouring Cauldron."

Sacred Sakura disciples exchanged their opinions and gave a suggestion to the mermaids.

Michael rubbed his head awkwardly. He was afraid his master would misunderstand, but his master’s tone did not indicate so. Thus, he wasn’t that worried. Considering his Goddess Master considered these evildoers insignificant, then he had nothing to do here. He and his juniors left the interrogation room right away.

"Senior, who are they? Why is Lady Xentia kneeling before that lady, and we are reflexively kneeling too?"

"Lady Xentia’s master. Her divine grace, our Patron Goddess, is here. She said these evil mermen are useless. Throw them to the Devouring Cauldron!"

One mermaid asked, and the other answered. After that, they immediately took their prisoners away.

"You shall meet a gruesome death. Please wait for my revenge. I won’t die even if you killed me." One of the prisoners grinned as if he was the winner.

"Yeah, tell that to the God of Hell. Not even the Sea Emperor will avenge you. You deserve the gruesome, true death after what you’ve done to our mermaid sisters." The mermaid warrior grinned fearlessly.

The evildoers were thrown into a big cauldron of black liquid. They were melted like burned candles and disappeared from the world for good.

A few moments later, Elysium’s members and Miko’s disciples gathered in a meeting room. Several executives from Blue Soul Fox Fleet, El-Fai Merchant Fleet, and Mermaid Revolutionary Army also attended.

Their conquest of the following city was temporarily stopped because the Supreme Order came to visit them.

"???" Elysia sat in the master seat with a subtle smile.

She was amused because almost everyone looked tense. They might be afraid or worried about something. However, she mainly came to visit them because she would help them solve a little problem, and deliver dinner...
