Chapter 841 - 409: Inanna
"Where did this wild woman come from?"
Dorothy crooked an eyebrow and, without hesitation, said with a mocking tone, "Hey, I’ve never seen you before, but the moment you step on our ship, you start talking like you own the place. This is the Star Flower Travel Corps, not a place where random strangers can spout nonsense."
As she spoke, she compared the curves of the mature woman opposite her with her own, growing more anxious.
"Who are you?" Zoe raised her eyebrows, hands on hips, breathing heavily, on the brink of snapping.
Andasu and ALulu stood by their sides, forming a human wall. The White Wolf’s tail wagged left and right, its whole body tense, even shadows danced at its feet.
"What having babies? Can I take that as a warning for trespassing?"
"You need to take things step by step when dealing with people, don’t skip too much, big sister."
"Ah wah wah..." This made Othella’s brain freeze up, waving her hands and shrinking into a corner, while the Purgatory Spirits circled around watching the drama.
Inanna closed her eyes, but just like a normal person could see, she slightly turned her beautiful face to observe everyone.
"Oh dear..."
As she was about to speak, Farina quickly stepped forward between both sides.
"This one is the incarnation of the Earth Dragon God, everyone..."
The Dragon Witch’s words were rather forced.
As the Deputy, even though she worshipped the Fire Dragon, she also had a respect for other Dragon Gods. However, in front of her companions, apart from her own god being reliable, it was either rolling rabbits or bizarre women spouting shocking words, making it hard for her to maintain a serious expression.
"What?!"
The young girls who were either thinking of sharp words or whether they should make a move were collectively stunned.
"Everyone, listen to me, it started like this..."
Li Ang grabbed Anna’s hand, trying to step in and explain what happened, starting from the Star Soul Resonance at the nursery.
However, his voice couldn’t capture their attention at all.
"Even if it’s a god, they can’t force Li Ang." Zoe said righteously looking ahead.
"Exactly, don’t think just because you’re a divine spirit I’ll be scared. Even a divine spirit can’t snatch a man without a word. If you push me, I’ll pull your hair." Dorothy said grumbling.
"Can you not hide behind me while saying that?" Li Ang turned to the Half Elf.
"Girls, you’ve misunderstood."
Inanna smiled slightly, spreading her slender hands: "I understand your words, you’re declaring your partner status, right? This is a form of union that mortals care about.
"And my view on life is somewhat different from yours."
Her beast ears gently flicked; from their shape, compared to Andasu’s wolf ears, they were longer but also wider than rabbit ears. This wasn’t something you’d see on ordinary beasts or Beast-Earkin, as though they weren’t naturally grown but aimed to highlight that while she shared characteristics with animals, she was far from a common beast.
Amongst her thick layers of dark brown hair, a pair of horns that first grew horizontally before bending upwards were not as strong and towering as ALulu’s but thicker and rougher, emphasizing that her characteristics surpassed those of horned animals.
Just as she said, those biological features alone showcased her distinction from ordinary life forms.
"To me, the propagation of life is the most magnificent symphony of the world, it exists innately, and it should always exist. You understand what I’m saying because among you, there’s someone who has already formed a deeper life connection with their partner."
As Inanna spoke, her face turned towards Andasu.
This movement made the young girls, whether they understood what she said or not, all look towards the White Wolf.
The Beast-ear Maiden’s elegant face suddenly turned as red as if dripping blood, her big tail curled protectively in front of her body, this reaction immediately clued others into her involvement.
ALulu’s eyes darkened, and in a small voice said, "I knew it, I guessed right."
Zoe was initially puzzled, but she seemed to catch on as a look of understanding began to emerge on her face.
The atmosphere turned into a strange silence, yet it felt like a pressure building towards an explosion.
Inanna then turned towards Dorothy, "This one too... hmm, but the aura of life connection is a bit unusual, perhaps chosen close, yet not fully..."
"Eek!"
Dorothy leapt a step back under the blade-like gazes of Zoe and ALulu, instinctively covering her behind with her hands.
"What does the Earth Dragon God care about this?!"
Inanna smiled and said, "Since some of you have personal experience, you should understand more about the multiple meanings contained within life’s harmony; that can’t simply be encapsulated by a mortal’s possessiveness."
She was oblivious to the seeds of potential conflict she had sown, continuing to express her views.
"The beauty you feel, much of it comes from your instinct to continue life, which shouldn’t be suppressed. I came here not to take your partner’s place, but to continue the world’s life, to have him and me bear countless children of the Earth, offering strength to continue the world."
"As pretty as that sounds, it’s all the same in the end." ALulu said with her head down.
Feeling the non-existent dark aura rising from Xiaoniu, Dorothy and Andasu involuntarily distanced themselves, even the puzzled but no-guilt-in-her-heart Zoe felt a bit uneasy.
