Your Preference (10)
She has endured for too long.
“I am your most beloved Lilith.”
This voice was full of hoarseness, with a deep sexiness in it, but this hoarseness was unlike the kind Xu Jiao had heard from Shen Yelan before, it was a kind of…
Hoarse and damp feeling.
It was like moss growing in the corners, or like ferns growing under the waterfall’s wash, how to say, it matched the snake body well, at a glance it was a creature growing in darkness, making people feel that just by listening, they would be tempted to step into darkness, wholly letting themselves fall into it.
The icy breath fell coldly on Xu Jiao’s face, at such a close distance, it should have given an ambiguous feeling, but because of the chilliness of the breath, Xu Jiao inexplicably felt the fine hairs on her back all stand up.
Her neck was also icy cold.
The guy in front, who was half-god, was very tall, perhaps due to the sheer size of the body, the pure black scales and the soft boneless lines of the snake tail always gave people a terrifying feeling, even though the color was actually very beautiful, because this black was exceptionally pure.
Xu Jiao raised her head, she was now thin and slender, standing in this cave, if others saw this scene, they would surely think she was an ordinary person who had mistakenly entered this place, tempted by the devil in front of her, and once she stepped into the darkness, she would be eaten with not even bones left.
But there was no slightest fear in her eyes, even this glance upwards made her seem like she was actively approaching the other, with a little innocence of not knowing worldly matters.
Only her pure black eyes revealed the answer—
She was calm and clear, knowing exactly what kind of existence was in front of her.
“My most beloved Lilith…” she gently repeated the other’s words, at the moment before that face was about to kiss her lips, she raised her hand and gently pressed it against the other’s face, considered as a neither light nor heavy rejection.
Lilith’s skin was pale, with the pale blue blood vessels faintly visible underneath, she held Xu Jiao’s wrist, letting the cold kiss fall in her palm, noticing the warm wrist in her palm gently move, as if unable to endure this sharp coldness, her pupils slightly shrank, actually she was joyful, just the light in the cave was too dim, so her pupils were always sharply thin, now more ruthless.
As if anytime she would swallow the person in front whole, leaving not even a trace.
Xu Jiao quickly remembered the answer: “You are the Lilith who was originally expelled from the temple by God… right?”
This was not the blonde little girl she had previously saved.
Xu Jiao looked at this face, for a moment somewhat unable to distinguish exactly who these two people were, who exactly was her protagonist, earlier the blonde little friend matched her written setting, but now this black-haired snake-bodied woman, had the appearance of the female protagonist in her mind.
“You seem to have remembered everything, my God.” Lilith did not release her hand, clearly knowing the person in front was the world’s most noble incarnation of God, yet she boldly directly touched the other’s body, her eyes were infatuated and devout, her actions bold and unrestrained.
It seemed her whole body was written with the big characters “I want to desecrate God.”
Xu Jiao calmly looked at her, also did not mind this little contact with herself, just indifferently continued communication with her, thinking about what she just said: “If you are talking about God’s memory, then I don’t have it.”
She asked again: “And her? I mean the blonde little friend I know.”
Hearing her words, the snake-bodied witch in front smiled, kissed her palm, then let that cold kiss gradually spread to her fingertips, leaving a little wet trace. Afterward, she boldly bit Xu Jiao’s fingertip.
The pain just transmitted to Xu Jiao’s mind, then turned into a tingling numb sourness.
Xu Jiao felt nothing in her heart, but her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Because her fingertips were already wet, the other, clearly with cold-blooded animal eyes, yet every action towards her, and each gaze, carried unparalleled ambiguity.
Just like the action just now, earlier only biting her fingertip, now was slowly…
Licking.
Clearly, even the tip of the tongue was cold, but because of this ambiguous action, a kind of heat spread from her fingertips to her cheeks, making her not want to look at the glistening and wetness of her fingertips.
She just involuntarily curled slightly.
Whether it was the earlier neither light nor heavy bite or the continued seduction now, the snake woman did not show any too obvious emotion, but Xu Jiao vaguely felt she seemed somewhat unhappy.
Unhappy about what?
Because she asked about the blonde Lilith?
She was about to say something, but the other held her fingertip, with a big smile at the corner of her lips, slanted eyes looking at her, then said: “…Don’t you want to first ask, who did all the things in the previous dreams?”
Xu Jiao lowered her eyes, wanting to retract her hand, yet felt the other holding tighter, even the wrist bone transmitted a faint pain.
As long as the other’s actions do not reach her bottom line, she is too lazy to struggle. After trying and failing, Xu Jiao turned her gaze towards the outside of the cave, slowly said:
“It is you.”
Her voice contained not a bit of surprise.
In mythology, the name Lilith originally is the witch in charge of dreams, and was Adam’s first wife, later left Eden, and colluded with the devil. The snake-bodied person in front appeared, very easily letting Xu Jiao guess the answer.
She just did not know the relationship between this person and that blonde little girl.
The snake woman laughed, with slightly sharp teeth holding her finger, as if at any time could bite through her skin, yet always hovered at that edge, making people feel danger, heart pounding.
Perhaps this is the feeling of facing a beast.
Rationality seemed to have no use, only the most instinctive attraction remained, communicating only through breath, actions, and some other natural things.
Xu Jiao strongly suppressed the ominous feeling in her heart, repeated her question: “And her?”
The smile at the snake woman’s lips disappeared slightly, as Xu Jiao constantly watched her face, she easily caught this change in her eyes.
Next, Xu Jiao heard her speak, the hoarse meaning in the voice still there, rustling, like the sound made when walking across a beach, smooth soles rubbing against fine sand, also like the sea breeze blowing over the continent, unconsciously making people want to listen intently.
Xu Jiao’s gaze was confused for a moment, the next moment she became alert.
This voice is not right.
This snake woman’s voice… carries enchantment.
She saw the other approach, slowly opened her mouth and said: “She is me.”
Xu Jiao calmly looked at her, a light breeze blew into the cave, circling at her ear, dispersing the innate magic in the other’s voice, making herself not so easily enchanted by this voice, to avoid unknowingly falling into the opponent’s trap.
Once her ear was covered with wind, the other’s voice, when speaking again, had an added layer of ethereality inside.
Like it was transmitted from a distant place.
Xu Jiao’s expression did not change, but the snake woman felt the change in the air’s elements, the deep lines at the corner of her eyes softened, as if wanting to make people unconsciously lower their guard, just like when a scorpion’s tail is prepared to attack and capture prey, first raising high…
Then, it’s a one-strike kill.
Many people know this, but still inevitably are attracted by the raised tail’s red light and arc, and the light reflected from the tail tip, making this poisonous creature appear extremely beautiful.
The same goes for snakes.
The more brightly beautiful the color, the more poison is hidden, the sharp fangs inside, the venom sac already prepared, as long as it aims at prey, it must kill the other in its embrace, only then will it stop.
She and Xu Jiao looked at each other, her voice softened charmingly, as if somewhat wronged—wronged that Xu Jiao only cared about that useless little girl, ignoring such a beauty as herself.
“It is true—”
“Since you expelled me from the temple, I stayed in the human world for a long time, without you in the world, everywhere is boring. Later, just like you every time you came to the human world, I casually chose a woman, entrusted myself to her belly, and was born as her child.”
“Originally I should not have awakened so quickly, just…”
Xu Jiao suddenly glanced outside.
At the same time, the voice of the snake woman Lilith also stopped, and both of them simultaneously sensed that outside the magic forest, there were many, many people. All the elements in the air became restless, as if a large magic formation was about to appear, and all the students and people here were prisoners of this formation.
Everything became so unusual.
The invisible smell of smoke slowly spread.
“Today there are too many outsiders, really affecting our intimacy,” the snake woman’s orange-yellow pupils squinted slightly, her voice carrying the usual ambiguity.
Xu Jiao didn’t bother with her inexplicable words; her right hand was still a bit wet, but she didn’t care about such details. She insisted on pulling her palm out, then half-squatted down, placing her palm on the ground to sense the earlier hexagram formation.
A hot feeling came from underground.
It was as if the earth’s core was disturbed by something, so even the magma below was eager to gush out, ready to overturn the land at any moment. In fact, it was just that complex, terrifying magic formation being activated.
Xu Jiao had already investigated once before and knew that this formation was used to seal a monster. Her palm hadn’t yet withdrawn from the ground, but her head tilted slightly to the slanted back side, and she spoke:
“This… is it meant to catch you?”
Although the demonic energy in the whole forest is very dense, the aura of the snake woman in front isn’t released very exaggeratedly, only allowing people to sense the evil nature on her body and that not very obvious demonic energy.
But the formation still activated.
Why?
Hearing her question, Lilith laughed softly, gently shook her head, and corrected, “It’s used to catch us.”
Xu Jiao: “…?”
She thoughtfully looked at the formation underground.
Thinking of those hidden fate lines she saw when she first entered this forest, and the Lilith in front of her, she vaguely guessed something, but on the surface, she didn’t show it. She only pretended not to understand and asked, “What does it have to do with me?”
She said, “I am their God.”
Hearing such an absolutely confident tone, Lilith inexplicably felt Xu Jiao’s arrogant, disdainful attitude. The smile in her eyes grew more intense, and she looked at Xu Jiao meaningfully, saying, “I don’t believe you didn’t perceive the temple’s plan.”
“Alright—”
Lilith took a step back and said to her, “Quickly leave, get out of here, find a way back to the temple, even if you are just a rib of the God, I don’t want to see you fall into anyone else’s hands but mine.”
These words are somewhat subtle.
At first listen, they reveal a peculiar possessiveness, but on careful consideration, there is care within them.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Xu Jiao didn’t move much; if she really is the God of this world and perceives the temple’s little schemes, she would certainly be enraged. After all, for long-lived gods, humans are just ants created during their leisure time. Not living according to the rules They created would be fine, but now they even dare to harbor thoughts of pulling Them down from the divine altar, which is truly terrible.
When the God’s incarnation returns, and the God awakens from a long slumber, the first thing They would do is destroy this world.
It’s just something created out of boredom anyway, and as long as They want it, destroying it and creating another one doesn’t matter.
Letting ants rebel is the most laughable thing.
Any creature with thoughts of blasphemy or deicide will not be forgiven, as this is the world’s most extreme evil sin, surpassing everything.
But Xu Jiao is not.
Her greatest purpose is not to return to the temple and become that high and mighty God overlooking the world, but to find a way to give 《She Who Is Favored》 book a good ending.
Moreover…
Xu Jiao doesn’t know how to return to the temple either.
She doesn’t have that part of the memory.
When looking up at the sky, she always has the thought that she’s very close to there, but when she raises her hand to reach, she realizes the vast distance of the sky. She has realized more than once that wanting to return to the temple is not a simple matter, and she doesn’t know where this intuition comes from. In short, Xu Jiao temporarily doesn’t want to go to the temple.
And then there’s this fellow in front of her.
Now bearing the protagonist’s name and the face she envisioned for the protagonist, how could Xu Jiao let her fall into the hands of those people in the temple?
……
“Detected that the protagonist is about to be threatened, please make a timely response!” The system’s task was issued at this moment.
Xu Jiao asked Lilith, who was about to disappear into the darkness, “How do I get out? I mean, if I help you.”
Lilith: “…!”
Although her eyes couldn’t show this emotion, her face revealed obvious astonishment, causing her slender black tail to gently slap the nearby rock, making a loud sound.
She seemed somewhat unsure whether her previous actions had any effect on the Saintess in front of her, after all…
Demonic power can taint divine power.
The stronger the demonic power, the more divine power it can taint. At her current level, as long as she is willing, she can completely prevent two pope-level individuals from ever using pure divine power again.
Such filthy power, once it appears in the world, will definitely be considered heresy.
Lilith knows she is currently unable to oppose the combined power of the six temples, but she can only use her full strength because she is unwilling to be controlled by these humans.
She completely did not expect Xu Jiao to help her, so her first thought was whether the other party was inadvertently influenced by the power she leaked.
Xu Jiao didn’t know what she was imagining, only calmly urging, “Quickly, the formation is about to activate.”
Lilith quickly said, “Introduce my power into it, and it can destroy the formation. This illusory forest is created by magic, and the demonic power above can restrain other magic. There’s a closed magic formation overhead, not allowing anything in this forest to escape—”
“In other words, all these students are bait released by the six temples to trap us here, they are their chess pieces, just to lure you in, my God, this is what your most beloved humans have done.”
“They can harm their kind, taking ignorant young people as sacrifices without hesitation…”
At the end, Lilith began to insert her personal agenda, describing to Xu Jiao slowly, with malice.
Xu Jiao, however, didn’t have the mind to listen to her brainwashing anti-human rhetoric, only slightly frowned and interrupted, “Introduce your power into it? You can’t destroy them directly?”
Lilith licked her lower lip and smiled wantonly at her, “I can’t.”
Xu Jiao: “…”
She didn’t really want to understand why Lilith could still smile so confidently while saying such useless words.
The warmth and patience in her eyes were slowly fading away, and Xu Jiao stared at Lilith expressionlessly, having a momentary thought of just leaving this stupid snake here and running away herself.
BE then.
A foolish protagonist is not worthy of a HE.
After all, foolish people have foolish fortune, but fools do not.
Lilith didn’t know what kind of thought Xu Jiao had for a moment, with her beautiful pure black snake tail swaying, she smoothly came to Xu Jiao’s side, leaned in close to her, and instinctively said:
“The formation buried underground has a natural repulsion to demonic power. If I introduce power directly, it will cause alertness and attack.”
“It must first be introduced with divine power, and then destroyed with demonic power—”
As she spoke, her slightly cool palm was already placed on Xu Jiao’s slightly cool hand back. Clearly doing something serious, this snake could create an ambiguous atmosphere anytime and anywhere, her cool, snow-white fingers interlocking with Xu Jiao’s, transmitting that coolness to every inch of her skin, then tightly clasping her fingers.
Completely interlocked fingers.
Xu Jiao: “…”
She could feel that annoying, very resistant power, transmitted from the other’s hand back.
And for some unknown reason, the divine power in her palm was unable to resist the invasion of this power… this shouldn’t be the case. God is the creator who most despises dark power; he hates the fall of humanity and also hates all dark creatures. The power that God possesses should be an absolute expulsion of darkness, as can be seen from the divine power guidance of the Sun Temple, War Temple, and so on.
Now, the incarnation of God unexpectedly allowed dark power to act recklessly. Is it because Lilith’s power is special, or is it related to those strange dreams from before?
Xu Jiao had many questions she wanted to clarify.
So, first she needed to save this snake, and secondly, she would properly settle accounts with the other party.
Golden divine light fell into the ground, directly contacting the formation below, and was unreservedly accepted by the other party as source power—
In the next moment.
Pure black demonic power was like thick ink, seeping in little by little from the center of the formation. Xu Jiao closed her eyes but could clearly “see” how those divine powers turned gray.
It was as if cold water had fallen onto a red-hot iron block, making a sizzling sound. Initially, the water droplets quickly vaporized, but when a torrent of water came, the final result was that the iron block slowly lost its red color, gradually returning to calm, submerged by that torrent.
No traces were left behind.
Xu Jiao watched little by little as that intricate, massive golden demonic circle completely dimmed.
Even the demonic power that enveloped the entire magical forest was extracted by the snake beside her. At this moment, outside the cave, countless students sensed the change in that evil power, all looking up at the sky, only to discover that the gray covering the sky outside had vanished, replaced by countless twinkling lights.
The demonic power had thinned significantly.
……
Outside the forest.
The six popes also noticed the changes within. This forest was created by their churches, which had collected demonic energy over the years and released it through a complex formation to trap that demon.
God’s incarnation wanting to enter was an unexpected joy for them—
However.
If the duck at their lips flies away, it is not a result they want to see.
This formation was researched by the six popes together, considered as an overlap of many kinds of divine powers, completely preventing spying or destruction from the outside. Now sensing changes in the formation, the female pope of the Temple of Fate first reacted:
“Is this… God joining forces with that demon?”
Henry’s expression was somewhat unpleasant: “Impossible, that demon is too special. Initially, to capture her, we already sacrificed too many high-level knights, because any contaminated divine power would be polluted. God detests this kind of darkness the most, how could They join forces with that demon?”
The female pope of the Temple of Wisdom spoke gently: “In fact, I think Karina’s words are the only explanation for this matter. In the world, except for change, nothing is eternal. People always forget this principle, Henry.”
The pope of the Temple of War touched the black iron bracelet on his rough wrist and said gruffly: “In my view, when that demon revealed her tracks, we should have rushed in. We have so many people, unless God personally comes, how could anything else be our opponent? I see you calculate and calculate, but in the end, nothing is figured out.”
Upon hearing his words, the remaining people exchanged glances, while the surrounding knights remained silent, only guarding around the popes, as if turning their entire beings into the sharp blades in the hands of the popes, intending to devote everything to them.
Henry raised his chin, crossed his hands, glanced in the direction of the War Temple, and then nodded leisurely:
“Didn’t expect you could occasionally propose something seemingly useful—”
“Alright, then let’s act directly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he chanted a long string of complex and very lengthy incantations. Ordinary sun god incantations do not require such chanting, and from the moment Henry began, it indicated that the divine magic to appear next would not be the kind everyone usually sees.
As his ancient intonation resonated.
Everyone noticed that the sky above the forest slowly…
Slowly began to brighten.
What kind of terrifying power is this?
This pope of the Miracle Continent can actually directly summon the sun!
……
In the forest, the demonic energy gathered for thousands of years was completely cleared before the sunlight emerged. Lilith noticed this, looked up at the sky, and suddenly thought of that annoying fellow Henry, involuntarily cursing:
“This damn old thing.”
She hated the bright power of the Temple of Sun the most.
Hearing her curse, Xu Jiao turned her head to look at her.
Lilith: “…”
She belatedly remembered that the world’s oldest “old undying” was right in front of her.
The scene was once very awkward.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Fortunately, Xu Jiao did not take it personally, looked at her once, and then spoke: “Now that the demonic energy has been purified, we must take advantage of the sun not yet rising to leave. What kind of power do you need?”
Lilith softly answered her: “Wind.”
Xu Jiao closed her eyes and felt the wind rising beneath her feet, lifting both her and Lilith up—
But this was not enough.
Speed alone is not enough to allow them to escape from this forest.
Something else is needed.
Xu Jiao, self-taught in the method of escape, raised her hand and grabbed several tens to hundreds of nearby red lines, then waved those lines altogether towards the distance.
Outside the forest.
The gemstone on Karina’s staff suddenly began to emit light, and afterward, all the knights standing beside them rapidly retreated, in the blink of an eye, they had retreated hundreds of meters away, and all their expressions were confused.
The female pope of the Temple of Fate immediately knew what had happened: “Someone is altering their fate! Is it… the Saintess?!”
Except for God’s incarnation, no one else possesses such surging divine power to change ordinary people’s fate so casually, because people’s fates are all intertwined. Changing one person’s life is not purely just changing that person but involves separating their entangled parts with others and reestablishing connections with other people…
This is not a simple task.
Xu Jiao just casually moved hundreds of lines, yet made at least tens of thousands of changes. In just an instant, she was already sweating profusely. After changing those people into ordinary people, her lip color had already turned pale. There was a moment when even the wind beneath her feet was unstable, reflexively falling backward, and it was Lilith who caught her.
Lilith also knew what she had just done, taking this opportunity, kissed her forehead, and softly said:
“You did really great.”
This tone was exactly the same as when Xu Jiao used to teach that blond child.
Xu Jiao was just about to leave her embrace when her waist was tightly held by Lilith, who softly “shh”ed and said: “My Saintess, hold me tight. You have already exerted so much strength. Let me handle the rest. How could I bear to see you tired?”
After saying this, without waiting for Xu Jiao to react, a black wind enveloped them both.
That black wind swiftly vanished into nothingness, and before daylight fully emerged, it wrapped around Xu Jiao and quickly fled in the direction opposite to where the popes were coming from.
……
“Don’t let it escape again—”
Karina had no time to waste energy calling those knights back to her side, but relying solely on her and the other popes’ joint effort was enough, though it was a pity for so many high-level knights.
Fortunately, the Saintess seemed to choose randomly, luckily not from the Fate Temple alone, everyone was quite evenly affected, with the most disappearing from Henry’s side.
She tried hard to control her eyes from showing a smile.
Henry’s response was more direct, his expression cold, he accelerated his chanting speed, and almost at the moment the black shadow was chased by Karina’s fate red line, the sky fully brightened!
A brilliant, dazzling sun hung in the sky, radiating heat in all directions.
In an instant, all students in the forest felt the heat, even the students of the Sun Academy had some difficulty resisting such pure power, yet they were amazed, amazed at such a vast, perfect miracle.
Xu Jiao placed one hand on Lilith’s shoulder, and the other summoned a storm, quickly pushing this mass of black shadow away from where the sun was. Even so, some magic was still scorched by that terrifying divine power.
But the wind didn’t push them far before Xu Jiao felt another force contending with her for control over the wind.
It was the pope of the Temple of Storm.
Xu Jiao did not give up on the contest for control over the wind elements. She raised her hand and bit her fingertip, bright blood beads flowed from her fingertip and dispersed into the air—
All the elements at that moment betrayed the popes.
Because they sensed the Creator’s aura, it was the aura that created everything in this world.
The popes also smelled the scent of the blood, as the divine power contained within it was so pure. The stronger the power, the harder it was to resist the allure of this pure bloodline.
They felt suffocated for a moment.
However, the beast released from the depths of their hearts was clamoring:
Obtain her.
Turn all this bloodline into your own.
Obtain this power, and you will become the supreme Creator of this world, all elements, all living beings, will bow to you.
Despite being separated by such a great distance, both sides were locked in a stalemate.
Breaking this stalemate was the pope of the Temple of War—
An axe flew from afar, aiming directly at Lilith and Xu Jiao, whom she was holding!
Along with that deep, power-laden voice:
“Monster! Release our God!”
Lilith’s ability was suppressed by the sun in the sky, which purifies all dark forces, so she momentarily couldn’t block this axe imbued with pure power. Yet Xu Jiao reached out towards the axe!
“No!” The person holding her cried out to stop her and also tried to grab her hand.
But Xu Jiao was not someone who could be stopped by others.
The popes sent into the sky by the wind element watched as the War God’s axe cleaved through the black mist and was caught by a white tender palm.
The axe cut open flesh, struck the bone, and emitted the clanging sound of metal striking metal!
It was a divine artifact striking against divine bone!
Flesh was only affected by divine power, naturally unable to withstand the pope of the Temple of War’s power, but divine bone is different; it is the hardest thing in this world, and nothing can harm it.
That is to say…
If one day a deity falls, their body will transform into many parts, but only this divine bone will never dissipate.
Hearing the sound of this weapon colliding, the popes were all envious—
They had long planned that their current divine artifacts were not good enough, and once they obtained the divine bone, they would certainly use it to forge the most handy divine artifact, to be used as the temple’s treasure.
Drizzling liquid fell from Xu Jiao’s palm that caught the axe.
Her hand was already torn and bleeding, bright red blood flowed down, fell from midair into the ground, absorbed by the soil, then quickly bloomed into beautiful small flowers, and clusters of greenery grew out.
Such a vibrant scene.
Xu Jiao herself couldn’t care about these, just holding the axe, she slightly turned her cheek. Lilith knew what she wanted to say, and taking advantage of this moment when everyone was stunned, she quickly rolled in the black mist and headed towards the distance.
……
“Detestable!”
“Karina, can you figure out where it went?”
“No, the fate line of that thing has completely disappeared, hidden by the Saintess.”
“What about the storm? Can it be tracked?”
“The wind elements over the entire continent are in chaos, I can feel it… we can’t find their traces.”
“Then, who among you collected the divine blood that dropped just now?”
As these words were spoken, the female pope of the Temple of Wisdom slowly smiled, then raised her hand and summoned two peace doves. The doves were exquisitely snow-white, and upon closer inspection, it was revealed that these doves were fake, their bodies made of jade, and their eyes of red crystal.
The two doves landed on the pope’s shoulder, opened their mouths, revealing a few blood beads inside emitting golden light.
This is divine blood…
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Henry was the first to laugh out loud: “Look at how greedy you all are…”
He said, “I won’t participate in the distribution of divine blood this time, but… once we catch these two people, the distribution will be decided by me.”
As he spoke, others also recalled the Saintess just now, catching the War Temple pope’s axe out of thin air, and their eyes showed varying degrees of greed.
“Do you already have a method, Henry?” someone asked.
Pope Henry smiled slightly, then casually drew a magic circle, and at the same time, his voice spread throughout all the halls, big and small, of the Sun Temple:
“I regret to inform everyone that our Saintess has already been corrupted by dark forces—”
“I will make her appearance public, and from now on, she will become the target of all temples.”
Other popes saw and followed suit.
……
Xu Jiao still did not know that she had become the wanted target of the entire continent.
After all, people of this era are so fanatical and detest darkness and heresy. From now on, wherever she goes, as long as she shows her face, nearby churches will immediately receive a report and dispatch people to capture her.
But Lilith did not take her to any crowded places.
They hid in the Zake Mountains.
That place, covered by snow and ice year-round, is also a legendary place with magic wolves and snow demons.
Coldness is the main theme here, and frozen ice elements are everywhere. The blood on Xu Jiao’s hand had already dried, and after she used healing magic on herself, the wound had also healed.
Only large patches of red remained on her arm.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
She exhaled a breath with white mist in the barren ice crystal forest, turned to look at Lilith behind her, wanting to say something, but found Lilith staring at her injured hand.
The next moment.
Her arm was held up by the snake woman with both hands, and a slightly cool tongue tip reached out.
Xu Jiao: “!”
She raised her hand and pressed down on the pale face, saying softly, “Behave.”
Lilith caught the lingering scent on her palm, and instead of becoming more obedient, she grew even more restless. She smiled and kissed Xu Jiao’s palm, using the same trick again, making everything wet.
“I just forgot to tell you—”
Lilith grasped her fingertips, and at some point, her snake tail had already surrounded Xu Jiao, who was standing in the center, as if trapping prey. The pure black, beautiful tail slowly coiled, first climbing up from her slender ankle.
At this moment, Lilith was like a branch extending from this tree, using her tail to trap Xu Jiao’s legs, raising her hand to embrace her waist. Her head lowered slightly, and her nose moved close to Xu Jiao’s face to sniff.
She caught the delicious scent beneath the skin.
Constantly reminding her how delectable this person is.
Lilith had once tasted a tiny bit of that sweetness in a dream and could never forget it since.
This is the God she dreams of.
She was the one who, in the temple, tossed and turned hundreds of times wanting to approach the supreme creator, but the final result was being expelled from the temple. She had clearly accompanied the other for so long, yet when God banished her to the human world, it was without emotion.
Although she did not know why the other suddenly saved her today, Lilith would not miss the chance to completely devour her.
Even if it’s just an incarnation…
She also wants to obtain it.
After all, this thought was not born just one or two days ago, but every moment, every second, even in her sleep, she always wanted to do this.
She said, “Do not give me any opportunity, I will very much want to eat you.”
“Not leaving a bit, swallowing even skin and bones.”
While speaking, her tail tip slowly crept up, the cold feeling brushing past Xu Jiao’s ankle, little by little along the calf upwards. Xu Jiao was entirely bound by the snake tail, yet her expression did not change much, she just calmly asked:
“Is this your way of repaying me?”
Lilith laughed with her eyes squinting, seemingly feeling nothing wrong.
She is a demon.
A demon god.
A demon god does not possess the good qualities of humans; she only knows **, destruction, and possession… all negative things are her embodiment, and gratitude and repayment are far from her.
She was driven out of the temple long ago.
So, facing a kind-hearted God’s incarnation who actively exposes their weakness, how could she bear not to drag the other down into the abyss?
She wants to carefully savor this delicious, willingly offered feast.
For this, she has already endured for a very long, long time.
