My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 576: Fleeting Thought

Yuna went to meet Elysia as soon as possible under the order of the Lord of Heaven. She was sure her Lord had already hinted and warned about the world devourers before, but who would have thought that Elysia, the Supreme Goddess, would try to catch Vorgrim, the sealed world devourer in the forbidden ground in the northernmost part of the world.

In the past tens of thousands of years, nobody could approach or even find this sealing site because even the Deities would fall in this extreme region. Hundreds of Demi-God and Deity-level ice monsters were stationed here, ready to eliminate intruders.

Usually, one of the Heavenly Agents, the most excel in ice-attribute divinity would check the seal every three thousand years. Therefore, the mechanisms would never attack the calm mind, especially those with Heavenly Palace’s token.

"My Lord, you should have sent the Agent of Frozen Realm..." Yuna shivered slightly when she arrived at the cavern entrance.

After finding Elysia’s life signal at the bottom of the ice cave, she flew in with an additional anti-cold barrier.

"Yuna, you are here!" Elysia waved her hand high.

’Shhh! Sstt... please don’t make any noise!’ Yuna’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately covered Elysia’s mouth with her hand.

Vorgrim was the world devourer defeated in her Lord’s original world before the 1st cataclysm occurred. Moreover, this monster was more ancient than herself, the first ever Heavenly Agent.

In this separated dimension sealing ground, no noise nor energy should reach the sealed monster. Therefore, no disturbance should occur before the seal to avoid the unexpected! Even her Lord couldn’t kill this monster, and this monster should be sealed for eternity!

’How bold of you, Agent Yuna. Master Ely spoke with her voice because she understood it wouldn’t affect the seal.’ Yuuki grabbed Yuna’s arm and slowly pulled it.

’Sorry. I didn’t mean to silence you, my lady.’ Yuna felt guilty and immediately apologized, knowing her sudden reflex was rude.

’It’s okay, but why do you look restless and panicked? Have you never been to this place before?’ Elysia felt something was odd about Yuna’s behavior.

’The last time I visited this sealing ground was a thousand years after the 2nd cataclysm when the Lord of Heaven moved it here.’ Yuna recalled about it. She had already lost count and she barely remembered the details about this sealing ground. After all, it was out of her jurisdiction.

’Hmm, is that so... but why did He-Dao send you here? Since we already got his permission, we just need to throw this one to the sealed dimension in the Helven Realm.’ Elysia felt that there was more to why He-Dao sent Yuna to her.

’My lady, honestly, I still don’t understand why you created a calamity monster army. You even targeted the world devourer like Vorgrim for your collection. I don’t doubt your power and intention, but are you absolutely sure that you can handle the consequences without harming us and the world?’ Yuna placed her hands together. She asked politely yet decisively as she had to know the answer.

’Yes, we shall bear all the consequences. It would be much better if we secure the unsolved threats for He-Dao’s sake and our purposes. Do you trust me?’ Elysia confirmed it confidently. She explained nothing, and if there was trust, Yuna would eventually understand.

Yuna nodded in reply, and Elysia smiled in satisfaction. What they did next was literally throw the entire sealing ground to the sealed dimension in the Helven Realm.

An area with a diameter of 400 kilometers and a depth of 10 kilometers suddenly disappeared from the world’s surface, leaving behind a huge crater that was slowly covered by thick snow.

"What’s that, lord master?" Lixue, the ice dragon, was curious about the newly arrived frozen land. It was sealed under heavy restrictions that even the space and dimension were affected.

"Beware of that thing. The world devourer monster is sealed inside that sealing ground. We’ll probably catch some ultra-dangerous world devourers for our army soon." Elysia threw a little warning like a bomb to the calamity beasts in her monster army.

The nearby calamity beasts stopped moving as the news was so shocking. The world devourer was akin to the immortal beast, and their master would start adding such ultra-dangerous monsters to her army!

"Please cultivate diligently~" Elysia waved her hand, feeling quite satisfied with everyone’s shocked response, and sprouted determination.

Some of those who already stood at the pinnacle of the mortal boundary were slacking off recently. So, the lazy beasts had to feel a little threat if they wanted to remain as the bosses or seniors in the army.

Shortly after Elysia left the Helven Realm, the news spread to the entire realm. Hearing that, the calamity beasts immediately went to cultivate and strengthen themselves.

Their master already provided the necessary resources in this realm, and they shouldn’t slack off as they didn’t wish to be humbled and bullied by the future new recruits, or worse, nobody wished to become the food for the world devourers!

"May I know what you will do to that monster, my lady?" Yuna brushed the snow and ice off her hands. The monster had been thrown, and it was time to inquire about the supreme plan.

"We’ll put that one into submission. If it disobeys, then hehe~" Elysia covered her mouth gracefully, then returned to Yuna’s matter. "Uhm-mm, anyway, the matters here are over. Do you want to join the fun with us, or return to the Divine World right away, Yuna?"

Yuna felt the monster would meet its doom if it offended the Supreme Goddess. She then glanced down. The Supreme Goddess and Yuuki held each other’s hands. She felt an unsettled feeling somehow. She then bowed to bid her farewell. "Uhm, I’ll look around for a moment before returning to the Divine World, my lady. If there are no further orders and arrangements, please excuse me."

"Alright. Thank you for your assistance. Please convey my gratitude to Lord He-Dao. If he has more calamity or apocalyptic monsters sealed somewhere, please let me know. We’ll take care of them to lighten his worries." Elysia waved her hand.

"Understood. I shall convey it forward to Lord He-Dao, my lady." Yuna nodded and vanished into thin air.

After Yuna left, Elysia hopped and climbed onto Yuuki’s back, wrapping her arms around Yuuki’s slender neck. "Yuuki, let’s go to somewhere exciting! If you have nowhere in mind, then let your master show you unforgettable moments in some interesting places."

"Ah..." Yuuki immediately put her hands below her master’s thighs, but her face soon flushed red as her master’s fair body suddenly pressed on her back. Her master’s fragrance gave off a heavenly scent, but her master literally rode her like a mount! That didn’t mean she disliked it, though!

"Yuu-ki~" Elysia called out and blew a gentle breath near Yuuki’s fox ears. Upon recollection, Yuuki had never carried her like this. It was usually her who carried Yuuki everywhere, but this time, she wished the other way around.

"Ahn~ Ah, yesh! Wherever you wish to go, I shall follow..." Yuuki was startled. She was shy but happy, but she was still feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Then, let’s go! The day is still long, and many things are awaiting us to explore. We can also bully some demons during the journey. We’re the nine-tailed fox sisters~ We’re invincible!" Elysia raised her hand high and hummed melodiously as Yuuki carried her to fly into the sky.

They left the extreme north and went to some interesting places. Yuuki also wished to experience life and love, so Elysia granted it to Yuuki’s satisfaction.

Unbeknownst to them, what Yuna wished to check was actually Elysia’s activity. She was looking around and observing what Elysia was doing.

Two nine-tailed fox sisters went around like a pair of happy girls. Even the ever-cold lady like Yuuki could show such a genuine happy expression. The expressionless iceberg melted into a pristine smile under Elysia’s company.

"..." Yuna remained silent from the distant void. The longer she observed Elysia’s activity, the more jealousy arose in her heart.

For some reason, she also yearned for it deep down. The occasional carefree moment to enjoy life, smiling and laughing with the person she loved.

"Why do I feel this way?" Yuna put her hand on her chest, realizing that it was jealousy. As she recalled it, she could no longer remember the last time she was truly happy...

"I shouldn’t think like this. Lady Ely is proficient in enjoying her life, and those around her are affected by her positive energy. They seem happy even though there are already many people by her side. But, she is fond of beautiful girls, huh..." Yuna muttered softly under her breath.

She thought how good would it be if she accepted Elysia’s offer. It did not mean she would betray her Lord or anything, but she could stay loyal as a Heavenly Agent even though she went under Elysia’s wings.

’What’s on your mind, Yuna.’ Yuna muttered in her mind and gently slapped her cheeks, feeling guilty for the fleeting thought that crossed her mind.

She sighed and left the scene. She went back to the Sacred Mountain in the Terra World and then returned to the Divine World through the Heavenly Altar.

"Hm?" Elysia looked up as she felt someone who was observing her from afar finally left. She could reckon it was Yuna, but she chose to let it be whatever the reason Yuna was watching her.

"What’s wrong, master?" Yuuki also looked up, but she could see nothing but a clear sky.

"It’s nothing. Do you want to try my snack, Yuuki?" Elysia put the matter aside and fed Yuuki with her newly made snack.

"Nee, Yuuki. Do you want to dance with me on the ice peak there? That place looks unique and romantic in the twilight sky." Elysia asked out of the blue, remembering the dance was pretty nice to strengthen the bond.

"With pleasure, master." Yuuki put her master down from her back. She grabbed her master’s delicate hand and kissed it.

"I want to dance too!" Elena emerged out of the Elysian Realm excitedly as she was fond of dancing.

"Well..." Yuuki didn’t mind. They went to the ice mountain’s peak to dance under the twilight sky and the glow of the aurora.

Meanwhile, Lucius and Bai Yuchen led their team to capture the corrupted officials in the Mirstone Town. They did a throughout investigation, and the corrupted mayor, including his aides, was proven guilty. They announced a death sentence to the sinners, and it would be carried out in the town square, witnessed by the townspeople and surrounding villagers.

The news shocked many, and even the Qinlan Sect’s group was so impressed at how overbearing and decisive Sacred Sakura’s people could become.

"Flower Gate Sect will never let you go after what you have done, bastard! I am the chosen one, chosen by the high elder!" The captured mayor threw out threats as he was taken to the execution ground in the middle of the square.

"Whatever you say, it won’t change anything. They can come for us anytime, and you will be replaced by someone more decent to govern this town. You’re nothing special, fool fuck." Lucius smacked the corrupted mayor’s head.
