My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 423: The Foxkin need a Freedom

"..." Ophelia stared at the distance sky while holding her crystal blue necklace.

She received a farewell gift from Goddess Ely, and it might take a while until they could meet again. Goddess Ely had to go to a faraway place, and she was probably the only one in this world who knew about it.

"Oh, El!" Althea waved her hand at the sky, knowing her Goddess had gone to a faraway place. She then grabbed her necklace and nibbled the purplish-blue gem with a teary gaze.

"No, don’t bite that, my baby. We’ll meet Goddess Ely again someday." Ophelia gently pulled the gem from her baby’s mouth.

"Eiy!" Althea pointed towards the sky.

"Yes, our God will visit us someday. You need to grow and be strong. Let’s go. Mommy has some private training classes for you~" Ophelia kissed her baby’s cheek and dived under the sea, back to her chamber in the deepest tower.

---

"Hm?" Elysia looked back reflexively because she could feel Althea kept chanting her name.

She smiled as she didn’t need to worry about Althea’s future development. Apart from her blessings, Althea and Ophelia also received her protection. That artifact necklace would protect them and enhance their progress speed.

As for Linda, she also provided protection and many things. However, Linda would need to graduate first.

’It might take a while. I look forward to seeing the better Earth on our next visit.’ Elena held Elysia’s hand tighter.

’Mm!’ Elysia nodded in reply. They then sped off and finally arrived at Quadtria.

At that moment, Zi Xuan ceased all her activities because her Goddess Master would return. She had to properly give a warm welcome.

"Rua?" Sakura asked in wonder. They had been waiting for several minutes, but their Goddess Master still had not appeared.

"Be patient." Zi Xuan gently gave the pink spirit a head pat with her finger.

*Thump*

Zi Xuan felt her heart pound and her soul was as if being drawn by something. Despite her shock, a spiraling dimensional rift suddenly appeared before her eyes.

A black-haired lovely lady and a golden-haired graceful lady stepped out of the void, emitting a fleeting aura of high divinity. Unfortunately, it lasted only for seconds. They disguised their aura flawlessly right away.

"Welcome back, Goddess Master." Zi Xuan greeted respectfully. She noticed Goddess Ely looked different from the one in her memory, younger and shorter than her, but that didn’t diminish her respect.

"Rua, rua!" Sakura was incredibly excited. She waited nothing more and flew to Goddess Ely’s head, pampering herself in comfort.

"Oh my~ Did you miss me?" Elysia chuckled in amusement when Sakura hugged her head.

"We’re back, Zi Xuan. We’ll leave for Vrelenia soon, but how about staying a while to chat about the recent news?" Elena pointed her thumb at the nearby garden pavilion.

"It’s my honor." Zi Xuan bowed slightly and guided the two Goddesses into the garden pavilion. She served them a cup of warm tea and started reporting about the latest news, especially regarding the big evils awakening.

"I see... Thank you for your hard work coordinating everyone, Zi Xuan, Sakura." Elysia gave Zi Xuan and Sakura several head pats.

"It’s not worth mentioning, master. That is my duty." Zi Xuan blushed slightly, but she enjoyed this kind of warmth.

"Hum, the big evils aren’t much of a threat when everyone unites to eradicate them. Moreover, we have anti-evil magic items. Anyway, what about He-Dao and his group? Are they still mass producing the divine-class anti-evil magic items?" Elena looked right and left, but couldn’t find He-Dao anywhere.

"He will soon descend from his Heavenly Palace, master." Zi Xuan looked up, and sure enough, the sky above the shrine suddenly turned golden. Two Gods descended to the mortal world.

"Hahaha! This is a good day. I didn’t expect you to return faster than estimated, Goddess Ely. Hm?" He Dao stepped down from the Heavenly Altar, but he was immediately stunned when he discovered Goddess Ely’s appearance had become like an underage girl!

"Welcome back to Quadtria." Agent White paid her respect.

"Hi~ I hope everything is going well on your side. May I know how the production of anti-evil magic items is progressing?" Elysia waved her hand, inviting the newly arrived ones to join her tea party.

"Everything is still going smoothly. We produced more than estimated in anticipation of the unexpected. Everyone in Heavenly Palace has become very busy. Anyway, do you want to inspect it?" He-Dao joined the tea party and put some anti-evil magic items on the table.

Elysia inspected them from the simplest to the most complicated ones. Elena helped her to check the mechanism of each item.

"Everything works as it should. We can also give them a finishing touch to enhance the anti-evil effects later." Elena gave an OK hand gesture.

"Hehe, we exerted our great efforts to ensure the perfection of every craftsmanship." He-Dao felt relieved and happy.

"Mm, then we can leave to the second world at ease." Elysia nodded in satisfaction and returned the divine-class anti-evil magic items to He-Dao.

"Huh? Do you want to leave again? You just returned." He-Dao was taken aback.

"Mm, we need to visit Vrelenia. After resolving the Ruvoid’s invasion, we wanted to see the world we saved. Several years have passed since then." Elysia raised her hand, looking at the sky from the gap between her fingers.

"The task on my part is safely under control. I will follow you for this world visit." He-Dao took a deep breath and stated his desire as if it was an absolute decision and he didn’t want to hear no as an answer.

"Will you insist on coming along? But, I guess it wouldn’t be a problem." Elysia considered several things in mind, but she couldn’t help but glance at Agent White.

"..." Agent White felt a bit nervous when Goddess Ely glanced at her.

’Have you made some progress towards your lord lately, Yuna? You need to be a little more proactive and aggressive.’ Elysia sent telepathy to Agent White’s mind.

’Pardon? I don’t dare, ma’am! Our lord’s has been so indifferent regardless of time and era.’ Yuna was stunned for a moment, but she soon understood what Goddess Ely meant. It made her feel a bit embarrassed, and sad, ended up with complicated feelings.

’Hmm~ Then, maybe I can help you. His divine avatar is himself too, right?’ Elysia covered her mouth as she couldn’t help but smile.

"???" He-Dao wondered what Goddess Ely was talking about with his Agent White.

"Miss Yuna, Lord He-Dao wants to visit the other world, but it’s a bit unbecoming for him to go alone. Can you please tag along, and also... maybe two or three more companions are needed." Elysia put her hands together, suggesting with a meaningful smile.

"This, I think Agent White and I are enough. No need for additional people." He-Dao scratched his head.

"This is necessary. You are the Lord of Heaven. Miss Yuna, please invite three more ladies. Please bring Amy as well." Elysia grabbed Yuna’s hand with a beaming gaze.

"Y-yes, my lady." Yuna immediately informed Amy to go down to the mortal world, bringing two reliable attendants.

"Well..." Elena covered her mouth as she could barely contain her laughter. She knew Elysia would play as a matchmaker to help Yuna hook He-Dao.

Even though it was only his divine avatar, it would still serve the purpose because the feeling would still return to the original one. After all, the original He-Dao took over the divine avatar all the time, different from the divinity between Elysia and Megami.

*Swoosh!*

Amy descended to the mortal world hastily, but she still had no idea why her presence was urgently needed.

When she caught Goddess Ely’s presence, she finally understood half of the reason as she knew Goddess Ely put her in high regard.

Therefore, she immediately led the angel attendants. They paid their respect to Goddess Ely and Goddess Elena.

"Sorry for calling you so suddenly, Amy. The Lord of Heaven wants to visit another world with us." Elysia exchanged a few pleasantries with Amy.

"It’s my honor, my lady. You have nothing to apologize for." Amy shook her head.

"..." He-Dao raised his eyebrows because he somehow felt these ladies plotted something against him, but he couldn’t connect the dots because Goddess Ely was involved.

"Ely, we have some visitors and outsiders. Zi Xuan, who are they?" Elena sensed the presence of outsiders in the Sacred Mountain area, and they were definitely not subjects under Sacred Sakura’s rules.

"Erm, yes. We have two visitors from the Qinlan Sect and a suspicious man. He was taken by Holy Knight Myra for interrogation at Sacred Mountain because he stated no good reason for his intention. He desperately wanted to meet Holy Priestess Miko." Zi Xuan reported the situation.

"Hum..." Elena nodded in understanding and returned to Elysia’s side while reading the activity report that Zi Xuan made.

Most of them were extermination missions, but she soon stopped at particular news related to the demon invasion of the sealed sacred land which was believed to be the place where the suppressed foxkin took refuge.

Elena showed it to Elysia because she felt the need to confirm the truth.

Elysia asked Zi Xuan for an explanation. But Sacred Sakura had yet to make any move for that because Sacred Mountain lacked demi-human personnel for this mission.

"If that’s true, then we need to help them to regain their freedom." Elysia made her decision. She then took her family members out of Nature Realm and explained several things to everyone.

Yuuki, Luna, Lynn, Yusagi, and Vanessa were chosen to confirm the truth and help the pitiful foxkin regain their freedom.

"Please leave it to us, master. But, please wait for our return! Don’t leave us behind..." Yuuki knelt before her master, looking up with a begging expression.

"Of course. We will wait for your return. Get the task done before the day changes, or we will pick you up tomorrow. Luna will be the team leader for this." Elysia put her hand on Yuuki’s head.

"Please rest assured, Master Ely." Luna bowed respectfully. She led her team to gather more personnel before leaving with Xentia’s spaceship to their destination.
