Perhaps it was because I had received too many unimaginable things in a day, I suffered from insomnia on the second night after arriving in the Realm of Gods.
I didn't know how time was calculated in the Realm of Gods, but it should be around midnight in this world. The Obsidian Shrine was already silent. Even the Gods who controlled darkness were used to sleeping at night. This made me feel a little strange at first. In the minds of most people, shouldn't the Gods in charge of darkness begin their activities in the dark?
However, Bryndis said, "How many midwives do you think are still able to give birth?" This question of mine was smashed to smithereens.
Going out for a stroll in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? I felt that this wasn't appropriate. After all, I was a guest. No matter what, it would be rude to torment Bindis' family without sleeping for a night. Also, I doubted whether I would be able to find the main door of Bindis' family without Mo leading the way. Even if I found the main door, would I be able to wake up the old door that was snoring loudly before I woke up the next morning? So, I couldn't sleep and I didn't have a place to go, so I walked to the courtyard of the temple.
The structure of the Obsidian Shrine was similar to the Chinese character "Jing". Inside the outer wall, four palaces with overlapping beams and eaves formed a horizontal and vertical pattern. The four bell towers were near the intersection of these intersecting palaces. Icetis jokingly called her father's design "Both horizontal and vertical are two". However, the latter always insisted that he was trying to embody a simple beauty of balance — — just like the fourth bell tower that was specially built for symmetry.
The courtyard of the Obsidian Shrine was a large open space surrounded by the four palaces. This place was opened up into a huge garden. Of course, considering the ferocious size of Icetis's house, this could basically be seen as a small forest. I wandered aimlessly in this garden. In the middle of the night, I wandered like a ghost among the shadowy plants.
According to Icetis, the name of this place was Shadow Garden. The reason for this name was because of the plants inside. The plants here were all mutated life forms under the power of the Dark Protoss. They could only grow in the dark and would stop moving under the sun, which was the opposite of normal plants. When I first heard about this, I was puzzled. I asked Icetis, "These plants can only photosynthesize in the dark. Won't they be unable to grow if they are exposed to sunlight?"
Icetis replied me like this:
"Grow it at night, idiot!"
How could I forget that there's such a thing as night when I'm in the daytime?
The Shadow Garden was quiet in the middle of the night. There was only a slight breeze that came out of nowhere, gently brushing against the shadowy flowers and plants. I walked along the stone path in the garden until I reached the center of the garden. A large fountain that was in a silent state suddenly appeared in front of me after I bypassed a row of shrubs.
"What a luxurious back garden."
I sighed and strolled to the front of the fountain. What caught my attention was that there were three sculptures in the center of the fountain: Icetis and her family of three. The ostentatious air of a capitalist nouveau riche could be seen at a glance.
I stood in front of the fountain and looked around aimlessly. In the end, a slightly frail figure unexpectedly appeared in front of me.
A girl with long hair stood less than ten meters away from me. She was staring at the gorgeous aurora in the sky. Her silhouette made her look ethereal as if she was going to blend into the night. The girl was wearing light pink pajamas. Her hair and the hem of her clothes swayed slightly in the night breeze. Occasionally, her hair would reflect the beautiful aurora in the sky. It was as if a mysterious phosphorescence was sprinkling down from her black hair.
The tranquil and beautiful scene before me made me slow down my breathing. It was as if I was afraid that my breathing would break the tranquil side of her that I had finally seen. Until she took the initiative to speak. It was a purposeful tone of dissatisfaction, but it couldn't hide the coquettish tone in her voice, "Hey, blockhead, what are you thinking about?"
I was stunned for a moment. I tried my best to suppress my sigh and nodded seriously, "Before you spoke, you looked like Sadako …"
Lin Banxian immediately changed from extreme silence to extreme movement. She turned around and jumped three steps before landing on my shoulder and taking a deep breath.
… Bastard! Return the tranquil and elegant forest elf to me!
Lin Xue, who was usually very aggressive, would of course have a tranquil and gentle side. Although it was rare, I had seen it a few times. Occasionally, when she was alone, Lin Xue, who was in deep thought, would reveal the appearance of a lady from a wealthy family. As the saying goes, the rarer something is, the greater its value. It was not easy to see that the fierce prophet finally acted like a girl. It was understandable that I could see that she was a god.
"It's already so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
I pressed down the berserk miss who was scratching on my shoulder with ease. I casually draped my clothes over the shoulders of the silly girl who ran out to get some fresh air in her pajamas. The other party's face instantly turned red, "Idiot … Idiot! Don't suddenly act so intimately! You are not allowed to touch me without my permission! "
Tsk, what a shy and arrogant person. I didn't know in the past, but now I know what this girl was thinking.
Although she looked carefree and fearless, Lin Xue was actually a pure person. Even when the two of us were alone, she would jump in fright when I suddenly acted intimately. Although it wasn't to the extent that she would immediately go all out, she would definitely be stubborn.
"You can't be waiting for me to appear, right?"
I glanced at Lin Xue and faintly stated my guess.
Thinking about her prophetic ability, her unique way of caring for her lover, and her daily habits, I came to this conclusion. It should be about 80% to 90% correct.
Just as I predicted, Lin Xue immediately rolled her eyes at me, "Go to the side, you're dreaming. Why would I wait for an idiot in the middle of the night?"
I knocked her head, "You also know that it's the middle of the night. Wearing pajamas in the middle of the night, do you think you're Shallow Shallow? It's obvious that there's a plot. "
The miss stuck out her tongue at me and didn't say anything. Then she suddenly said in a low voice, "Hey, your mind is in a mess, right?"
"Why would you think like that?"
"Suddenly realizing that you're not a human — — If this was in a normal plot, as the person involved, shouldn't you respond to the call and turn dark?" Lin Xue looked at me seriously, her large eyes sparkled as they reflected the aurora in the sky.
Although Lin Xue's words were still not smooth, it really made me think: That's right, from today onwards, I'm not a human — — or I should say, I've never been a human since the beginning. Today, I finally found out the truth. If this was in the literary world, I should be running out with disheveled hair and screaming "Why did the heavens do this to me". If I was in the fantasy channel, I could obtain a Nine Heavens Profound Lightning. If I was in the supernatural channel, I could obtain a white bearded old man's jade bracelet. If I was in the romance channel, I could pretty much wait for meimei Lin to fall from the sky. If I was in the romance channel, I would be waiting for meimei Lin to appear from the sky.
But that was all nonsense, the situation Lin Xue guessed didn't happen at all. I really couldn't sleep, but the reason "I was suddenly excluded from the primate category" wasn't as important as the Mercury Lamp running around the room. Speaking of which, I don't know if that puppet was too crazy today, why didn't she sleep in the middle of the night and jumped around on my bed.
In an instant, my heart was filled with all sorts of emotions. In the end, I just raised my hand and ruffled the hair of the girl beside me. Then, I pulled her to sit on a large rock next to the fountain.
Although she could see the future, she couldn't see through other people's minds. Lin Xue's ability made her very powerful, but she wasn't used to facing situations she couldn't see through.
"I'm fine, not being able to sleep has nothing to do with this matter."
"Really?" The missy looked at me suspiciously, tilting her head to the side to make her look a little cute. "I saw you wandering around the garden in the middle of the night because you couldn't sleep, and you still say you're fine?"
"I'm really fine. Although the truth I learned today was quite shocking, to be honest, other than the mess in my head, I really don't feel anything else." I knew that the other party was worried about my situation, so I didn't take this opportunity to bicker with Lin Xue. Instead, I told her the truth.
The missy placed her hands on the stone table beside her and looked at the aurora belt in the sky. "Ha, I was the one worrying for nothing. The only commendable thing about your wooden mentality is your only commendable point: Suddenly, you aren't even a human anymore, but you can still accept it. I thought you were very concerned about this problem."
"It's not that I don't care about it at all." I scratched my head. "There is a problem that I still can't figure out. Father said that I am a Void Creature, and that is definitely true. However, Icetis said that Void Creatures are 'Gaia' who couldn't evolve into a world, a type of Spiritual Body. That shouldn't be wrong either, but … You should also know that Sandora scanned me for half a day today. From head to toe, I am a normal life form. Physical life, human soul, organic molecules form my body. I can eat, drink and grow … Other than being able to turn into a void form that doesn't even have a face for a short period of time, I can't tell that I am a Void Creature at all. Do you think that they made a mistake? Do Void Creatures look like me? "
How should I put it, I wasn't bothered about what kind of life form I was. What I was really bothered about was something that both Father and Icetis couldn't explain: How did I, a Void Creature, turn into a human form?
Lin Xue didn't reply to my sigh as I muttered to myself. She only closed her eyes slightly and a faint white light seeped out from the gap of her eyes, letting me know that the Half Fairy was starting to cast a spell.
No one has ever been able to understand how the world looks in Lin Xue's eyes, just like how no one knows what kind of worldview Shallow shallow has in her head. I could only look curiously at the missy beside me as she hummed a messy song while lowering her head to search for the truth for herself. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes again and told me a piece of bad news. "Don't talk to strangers tomorrow."
I replied, "Huh?"
Lass, you must have gotten something wrong!
"Also, by the way, I don't understand your situation at all."
I shouldn't have said that by the way.
I rolled my eyes and ruffled the missy's silky hair rudely. While kicking me, she tidied her hair and said, "Why are you thinking so much? Since Father didn't intend to explain, it means that it isn't something important. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it — — Then we shouldn't even think about it. The Void is such a mysterious thing. Didn't they say that anything related to the Void can't be explained with common sense? You can just treat yourself as another abnormal life form of the Void — — "
I could only accept this answer that wasn't really an answer. However, Lin Xue's sharp tongue had only just started to show. "Hehe, you were still talking about others in the past, but now, you have truly separated yourself from the primates into your own class — — You might even be a unique Void Creature in the multiverse. You belong to the Wood Family, Wood Class, Wood Genus, Wood Head …"
I flicked the lass's forehead. "Did you get the sequence wrong?"
"Tsk, who cares? Do you have to check Baidu every time you speak?"
I chatted with Lin Xue for a while, but the content of the conversation was either joking around or teasing each other. This had almost become my daily interaction with this lass. However, it was precisely this "world of two people" that outsiders couldn't understand, but the two of us always enjoyed it. She was still waiting for me here so late at night. It was obvious that she sensed that I was a little annoyed in my heart. Thus, she finally realized that as a girlfriend, she should have a healing ability. It was a pity that other than all kinds of sharp tongues, this clumsy missy couldn't think of any other way to express her feelings. But how should I put it, a missy who wasn't tsundere wasn't a good half-goddess.
"Hey, Blockhead, Blockhead, are there words here?"
The two of us joked around for a while, and I almost forgot about the messy things. I was just about to go back to sleep and check if Mercury Lamp had calmed down. Suddenly, Lin Xue seemed to have discovered something. She grabbed my arm and pointed at a stone pillar next to us, making a big fuss.
This fountain was surrounded by a circle of stone pillars that were several meters tall. At the top of the stone pillars was a spout that sprayed water into the fountain and a sculpture of a Dark Angel. This kind of thing wasn't rare in the Dark Protoss's buildings. But what Lin Xue pointed at was a certain pillar that clearly had lines of words carved into it by hand.
We curiously moved closer. Lin Xue took out a flashlight and shone it on the pillar. The two of us could clearly see that most of the words were written in the same style. It was just that the font from bottom to top was slightly different. It seemed that the words weren't written in one go, but after a long time. The strokes of the words at the bottom were very shallow, but it was still distinguishable. Lin Xue and I connected to the Empire's database and slowly translated them — — starting from the bottom. Because all kinds of literary works told us that the beginning of these ancient secret books were all nonsense words thanking XX. It was specially used to make the faster villain dawdle for a long time before being killed by the main character later on. The most classic example was the Sunflower Treasure Book. At the end of the book, it wrote "Happy April Fool's Day". Those who castrated themselves before were all idiots.
When I first started translating, I was excited. The lines of ancient words carved into the Dark God's back garden made me involuntarily think of treasures, secrets, artifacts, and the main character's aura. Looking at those scribbles, it was as if I could see the glorious main character's path unfolding in front of my eyes — — this excitement lasted for seven seconds. We were tricked.
"Dad, you're lying! There's no big monster in the garden! "
"Oh …" Lin Xue and I carefully looked around like thieves. Our heads touched together, "Could this be the dark history of that female pervert when she was young?"
"Obviously." Lin Xue nodded and took out a camera from her pocket, "Blockhead, you don't need to say anymore. I know you need this!"
My considerate big sister, you understand your boyfriend's delicate conscience too well.
While holding the camera to preserve the evidence, we continued to translate. The second last line on the stone pillar was: "Sneaking into the garden again. Dad didn't notice. Hehe, this is a souvenir — — Icetis."
Oh oh oh, I never thought that the fierce female hooligan also grew up as a loli. Look at this childlike message, it's filled with the cute spirit of a mischievous little girl against her strict parents. Looking at these lines of words, my heart that has been attacked by the female hooligan several times has begun to heal!
The third last line: "This is my third time revisiting this old place! No one noticed — — Icetis. "
I: "…"
The fourth last line: "I can finally enter and exit the garden freely. Leave a mark, I'm an adult now! Oh yeah! "
Lin Xue: "…"
The fifth last line … I didn't even dare to look.
I felt that my mood was very subtle. We had just witnessed a shocking transformation from a loli to a pervert in the past few minutes. Don't look at the four lines of words, the impact directly jumped from news broadcast to legal proceedings.
We also understood the reason why the words gradually changed from bottom to top. Obviously, the height of the words truly reflected the process of Icetis's growth. If the two of us were a bit more troublesome, we might be able to directly convert the normal growth speed of a healthy Protoss girl. I was a bit rude and thought of Pandora and Visca who were 1.2 meters tall every ten thousand years — — It couldn't be helped, it was a conditioned reflex. As long as it was something related to growth, the first thing that came to mind would be those two brats — — If Pandora learned from Icetis and wrote a message on a pillar since she was young …
The pillar should have been engraved from 1.2 meters up.
After a period of secretive and nervous busywork, Lin Xue and I successfully collected this dark history of Icetis's growth. We also checked the nearby pillars and found some very funny graffiti. It was obviously the work of the goddess from the loli era. I wonder what expression Icetis would have when she sees these shameful things from her "young and ignorant" era. It should be very interesting.
As for the two of us — — Alright, the two of us didn't sleep in the middle of the night and actually used our time to ridicule each other and lie on the ground to take pictures. Lin Xue and I could be considered a unique couple!
