Chapter 718 - 17: Xia Yue’s Final Joke
Excitement.
This was the emotion conveyed by the Tai’e Sword.
Even though a sword conveying emotion is somewhat strange.
But Chen Lusi indeed sensed a very human-like excitement.
Why?
Why would a sword be excited?
Just as Chen Lusi had this thought, before he could do anything.
Not far away.
Where Mount Tai was pointing at Chen Lusi and Lan, a halo-like object suddenly appeared, collapsing and coalescing, then swiftly flew towards Chen Lusi and the others along the direction of his finger.
Chen Lusi immediately raised the Sword of the Way of Power in his hand, standing in front of Lin Ying and Ji Xin.
But the anticipated harm did not come.
The halo approached.
Instead, the surrounding environment began to fade and blur.
Eventually.
The room disappeared, the color disappeared.
Only pure white remained, as if standing amidst the vast snowy mountains.
And ahead.
Chen Lusi slowly looked forward.
Mount Tai had disappeared, replaced by a...student?
Chen Lusi was taken aback.
Ji Xin, Lin Ying, and Luo Mountain were also taken aback.
"?????"
Not far away.
A girl with shoulder-length flaxen hair, with a cute face, wearing an unknown school’s uniform, was standing where Mount Tai originally was.
By the look of it, she seemed younger than Lin Wan, probably around sixteen or seventeen, a bit shorter than Lin Wan but taller than Lan, fitting subtly between a young girl and a loli.
As for the uniform she wore, it seemed well-fitted but was quite wrinkled, as if it hadn’t been ironed for a while. Moreover, the short skirt seemed to have been deliberately shortened, exposing almost three-quarters of her snowy legs.
Such a uniform, not to mention in the country, even in Japan, would be considered exceedingly bold.
Of course...this evaluation pertains to students.
But this person here, isn’t she a god???
Isn’t she the Queen Mother of the West???
What’s the meaning of wearing a school uniform???
What a joke.
"Heretic."
In the distance.
Noticing the gaze of several people.
The cute-faced girl took a step forward, pointing once more at Chen Lusi and Lan.
Except this time.
She brought no pressure.
Although expressionless, appearing very serious.
But with an absolutely cute round face by universal standards, where is the dignity?
Especially for Chen Lusi who had never seen the true form of the Goddess of Longevity.
Even Ji Xin and Luo Mountain, who had seen the true form of the Goddess of Longevity, facing this ill-matched girl, only felt bewilderment.
Until.
In the distance, the girl slightly bowed, her eyes transforming into a golden hue, accompanied by the flutter of her skirt, she instantly lunged towards Lan.
Everyone suddenly reacted.
And Lan raised her snowy arm, slightly bent over, rushing towards the school-uniformed girl.
The two closed in on each other in an instant, pressing tightly against the ground.
Then.
Their fists collided fiercely.
Boom—
An airwave suddenly burst out, lifting their hair and surging rapidly in all directions.
The two were locked in place.
However, this standstill didn’t last long.
Soon.
The school-uniformed girl slowly pushed Lan backward.
Her pair of golden eyes mirrored Lan’s figure, gradually tinged with savagery.
"Heretic, death!"
Lan remained expressionless.
But in terms of personal martial prowess, it seemed the school-uniformed girl had the upper hand.
Chen Lusi was stunned in place until the airwave from their colliding fists reached him.
He then reacted.
First Line!
Instantly, Chen Lusi appeared beside the two, separating them and standing in front of Lan, lifting the Tai’e sword and pointing at the school-uniformed girl in front of him: "Please wait."
Lan bumped her head against Chen Lusi’s back and fell silent, making no further moves.
But on the other side, the school-uniformed girl wasn’t so easy to talk to.
The savagery in her eyes increased as she looked at Chen Lusi wielding the Tai’e, seemingly starting to beastify.
Chen Lusi was very familiar with this state.
Because Tang Language’s beastification was like this.
"Goddess of Longevity, please wait a moment."
At this moment.
Ji Xin also reacted, pushing his wheelchair to Chen Lusi’s side, saying, "We are not your enemies, and neither is Chen Lusi. Xia Yue bringing you down to the mortal world was out of necessity."
"..."
Hearing these two names, the savagery in the Goddess of Longevity’s eyes suddenly paused, then quickly dissipated.
Then.
She showed an...extremely human expression of anger.
"Xia Yue, Chen Lusi..."
She slowly lowered her hand, looking at Chen Lusi: "You bastards!!!"
Chen Lusi: "..."
Ji Xin: "..."
"What exactly is this?"
Lin Ying approached from behind the two, looking at the Goddess of Longevity, who seemed more like a pouting young girl than a deity, quietly muttering, "She looks even more like a student than my sister."
Ji Xin turned his gaze towards Luo Mountain, his eyes questioning.
Luo Mountain’s face was full of surprise and bewilderment.
"Xia Yue."
At this point.
Mount Tai suddenly appeared beside them, gently rubbing his temples, looking at them, he softly said: "Xia Yue exchanged part of her divinity with her."
They all sharply turned their heads, looking at Mount Tai, who still dressed like a disheartened middle-aged man even under these circumstances.
"Are you alright?"
Ji Xin slightly knitted his delicate brows, "And what do you mean by Xia Yue exchanged part of her divinity with her?"
"I was fine all along, she was just too unruly...saying she’d occupy the body, just like that."
Mount Tai shook his head, then glanced at the enraged young girl, "As for what exchanging part of her divinity means, it’s simple. When Xia Yue hammered her down to the mortal realm, he forcibly took away part of her divinity, and then, according to his own preferences, injected part of humanity into her.
This is why she appears like this at the moment."
