"Shhh—"
Holy Son blushed and quickly covered Sima Wei Zhi's lips.
She pulled Sima Wei Zhi's hand and ran out without looking back.
"Butterfly Senior and—"
Only after running out of the back garden did Sima Wei Zhi pat her chest, her heart pounding as if it would leap out. The scene she had just witnessed had too great an impact on her.
"It's not just Butterfly Senior—" Holy Son whispered, her hands involuntarily patting her cheeks, which were burning.
She had never encountered such a scene before; it was truly too embarrassing.
"Upper God must know we were here, how embarrassing, how embarrassing," Sima Wei Zhi squatted on the ground, covering her head with her hands. She felt like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
"What are you two doing?"
A clear, gentle, and childish voice came, startling Holy Son and Sima Wei Zhi. They looked over in alarm: "Who?"
Only then did they realize that someone had already been here.
She wore a light pink haori, and her pink eyes held a contradictory blend of gentleness and a hint of aloofness that kept people at a distance.
The girl looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, and a top-tier sword crafted by master smiths was tucked into her waist.
She was also a Dependents, and her aura was a level stronger than theirs, a Lv.3 Dependents.
"Kanawo, who are you two?" Kanawo looked at the women who had run out of the back garden in a panic.
"I, I'm Holy Son."
"I'm Sima Wei Zhi."
Holy Son and Sima Wei Zhi were only familiar with Butterfly Senior in Heaven and no one else.
After all, she hadn't met anyone before becoming a Dependents; at that time, the Dependents were all on missions.
"Mm, I remember." Kanawo said, then walked around Holy Son and Sima Wei Zhi towards the back garden.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute!"
Holy Son and Sima Wei Zhi quickly grabbed Kanawo's arms, one on each side.
"You can't go in yet!"
"Why?" Kanawo asked, puzzled. Although she didn't know these two unfamiliar older sisters, anyone who could come here was approved by Lord Xia Wei.
"How should I put it, Upper God is busy with other things, you'd be disturbing him," Sima Wei Zhi quickly made up a lie.
"Oh, I see." Kanawo nodded, not suspecting anything, especially since they had run out in such a hurry.
"Let's go play somewhere else. I heard there are many magical floating islands. Let's go see them."
Holy Son and Sima Wei Zhi hastily pushed and urged Kanawo.
"Oh, okay." Kanawo didn't understand why these two unfamiliar companions were so familiar with her, but she didn't refuse.
Sister Kanae hoped she could make more friends, so she shouldn't refuse others' kindness.
Time passed bit by bit, and night and day alternated three times.
During this period, Saya Takagi and Tendo Kisara had both come to the Main God Temple, but found that the back garden was inaccessible, which was a bit disappointing.
After listening to Holy Son and Sima Wei Zhi's explanation, they learned that Lord Xia Wei was doing something important.
Tamayo wanted to find Shinobu Kocho to discuss the creation of new potions, but she searched all over Heaven and couldn't find her. Not only that, but Butterfly Kanae, Mitsuri Kanroji, and the others had also disappeared.
As someone with experience, Tamayo naturally understood what was happening in the Main God Temple's back garden.
"I wonder if they will give birth to a divine child. I should prepare some prenatal medicine."
Tamayo lived on a floating island only four hundred meters in size. This was not only her residence but also her laboratory and hospital.
Previously, when she checked her personal information, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she had 'divinity,' and her skill had become 'God of Medicine.'
Originally, as a demon, she had an immortal body, and now with divinity, she could truly call herself a god in the lower realm.
"Their physiques are different, so prenatal medicine will require different formulas—"
In these three days, Heaven remained as peaceful as ever, even somewhat leisurely and boring.
Aside from battling each other on the stone islands, the Dependents would only return to their residences to rest, or self-train.
Alternatively, they could go to other floating islands where wheat and fruit were grown to farm and turn the soil, or teach at the Angel Academy.
The Dependents, accustomed to combat and excitement, were still somewhat unaccustomed to such a peaceful life.
Outside the Main God Temple.
"It's been three days, are they okay?" Sima Wei Zhi quietly asked Holy Son, who was trimming the flowers and plants in front of the temple.
"Probably—they're fine, they're not ordinary people—" Holy Son responded softly, unsure, but her body still couldn't help but shiver.
Even if Butterfly Senior and the others were amazing, they surely couldn't endure it."
She couldn't help but put herself in their shoes and imagine it.
No, no, no, Holy Son shook her head repeatedly: "They'll die, they definitely will die."
"That was truly exhilarating."
Xia Wei stretched comfortably, looking at the Butterfly sisters, the school doctor, and Mitsuri Kanroji, who were sound asleep on him.
There were no marks left on their bodies; they were still as pristine white.
"Such little weaklings." Xia Wei pinched Shinobu Kocho's cheek. Shinobu couldn't last more than ten minutes, and Kanae was only a few minutes stronger than Shinobu. Even with Shinobu cheating with recovery magic, she only lasted a few more minutes.
The school doctor won the silver medal, thanks to the special nature of her skill, making her comparable to two Shinobus.
The MVP was still Mitsuri Kanroji, whose physical quality was originally eight times that of an ordinary person. One of her was worth dozens of Shinobus.
Seeing Mitsuri Kanroji so strong, the other three were naturally unwilling to give up. They had to prove that they weren't so weak, so they competed like this for three whole days.
"Mm—I still want Lord Xia Wei," Mitsuri Kanroji, hugging his arm, murmured in her dream, her cheeks flushed with happiness.
"You all are satisfied—but I'm still far from it," Xia Wei sighed slightly. He was now in a somewhat awkward state.
The physical difference between a god and them was too great. He had to be careful not to hurt them, which was a technical skill.
Therefore, he couldn't fully immerse himself.
"As expected, I need to find a goddess to be satisfied," Xia Wei stroked his chin, and worlds where goddesses could appear at the Third Level of energy came to mind.
"Rest well."
With a thought, Xia Wei's clothes appeared. He opened the door, looked at the four sleeping women, and slowly closed it.
Although their bodies were fine, their spirits were a bit listless. It would be better not to treat them and let them rest well instead.
Just as he walked out of the Main God Temple, he saw two Dependents discussing him here.
"They'll die, they definitely will die." Holy Son frantically shook her head.
"Oh~ what will die? Tell me so I can hear too," Xia Wei appeared behind Holy Son, a trace of amusement on his lips, and asked softly.
"Ah!" Holy Son was startled, and the scissors she was using to trim the flowers dropped to the ground.
She quickly turned around, saw the familiar face, and explained in a panic. At that moment, she felt as if her whole body had turned into a boiled red shrimp.
"Nothing, Upper God!"
