Chapter 259

"So this is what you looked like when you were little."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata lowered her head slightly, looking at Shenhe with great interest.

"So this is what you look like when you grow up."

Shenhe raised her head, her face tense, her aura not weak at all, looking at her.

Xia Zhi seemed to smell a faint scent of gunpowder.

He thought for a second, then walked over to the two people facing each other at the door, touched Shenhe's hair, and looked at Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

"Why are you here?"

"I fell asleep, had a dream, and came in."

"You knocked on the door as soon as I entered the dream. Such a coincidence, you must have been waiting for days, right?"

"It's just a coincidence."

"I don't believe it."

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not... What's going on with Shenhe?"

"Reminiscing about childhood."

"I bet you made her smaller, didn't you?"

"How could that be possible?"

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be that kind of person!"

"I'm not."

"You also said you like Yaoyao. Sure enough, you have ulterior motives!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I treat Yaoyao like a younger sister."

"I don't believe it."

"I don't care if you believe it or not... What kind of look is that?"

"I'm also small outside, like Shenhe. You massage me every night. Could it be that you also want to take advantage of me?"

"...Tomorrow I'll give you a bottle of [Essential Oil]. You can apply it yourself."

"Huh, is Cousin angry?"

"No."

"I was just joking."

"So?"

"It's too troublesome to apply it myself."

"You can ask Ying'er to help you."

"That's too embarrassing."

"But I can?"

"Anyway, you've seen me bathe many times. One more time doesn't matter."

Shenhe instantly became alert: "?"

"Speaking of which, did my coming in disturb you two?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, I'll leave now."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll stay outside the door. Keep it down, I'll pretend I can't hear you."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata glanced at the small-bodied Shenhe, with a worried expression on her face.

"Cousin, remember to be gentle."

"..."

This goddess is hopeless!

Xia Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "I'm a priest, I know healing spells."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was also silent for a moment: "You're quite the player... But this is in a dream, it doesn't matter whether you use it or not."

"Hey, are you Aqua from somewhere?"

"I'm the God of Wisdom, not the God of Stupidity."

Shenhe was a little confused: "Who is Aqua?"

"A useless goddess in an anime."

"Oh..."

Then, Shenhe pulled on Xia Zhi's clothes and looked up at him.

"I want to watch that anime."

"Okay."

Xia Zhi touched Shenhe's hair, and opened a rift in front of him leading to his meditation space.

Shenhe glanced at Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, whose face was slightly surprised, and walked straight in.

Xia Zhi turned back: "What's wrong?"

"Your meditation space reminds me of a friend."

"Oh?"

"The previous Electro Archon, Baal. I once visited her [Musou Isshin] to play. You should have seen her figure in my fate."

"I remember. She looked like a very gentle goddess. It's a pity that she has fallen."

"Fallen?"

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's expression suddenly became strange.

"Although Morax did tell us that Baal died in the disaster five hundred years ago, but..."

"But? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Aren't you able to travel through time and space? Maybe one day in the future, you'll suddenly bring her back from the past."

"Uh... I don't have any connection with her."

"You didn't have any connection with me before either."

"Your situation is different."

"How is it different?"

"We have good compatibility."

"?"

"Don't get me wrong! Compatibility here refers to something proper."

"Oh, then how do you know we have good compatibility?"

"This is a secret, I won't tell you."

"Tsk."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see my home."

"I'm already tired of seeing your home."

Xia Zhi and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata walked into the rift in front of them one after the other.

The next moment, the two appeared in a clean and bright room.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata looked at the familiar furnishings in the room, and a trace of unspeakable nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

Shenhe was standing in front of the desk, operating the computer with the mouse.

"Boss, which anime is it?"

""KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!". You probably don't recognize these words very well, so I'll help you find it."

"What's this?"

""Redo of Healer", that's "Havoc in Heaven"."

"Oh."

"Here, found it."

Xia Zhi opened the anime and started playing from the first episode of the first season.

The pleasant theme song sounded leisurely with the bright pictures.

Shenhe naturally pulled Xia Zhi to sit on the chair, and then sat on his lap herself. The height was just right for her to lean on the desk and watch the anime.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata walked over, with that "you guys are really having fun" teasing expression again.

Xia Zhi didn't bother with her, and hugged Shenhe to watch the anime together.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata pulled over another chair and sat beside them to watch.

"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" is an isekai reincarnation anime. The protagonist, Kazuma, accidentally died after being frightened by a tractor. He met the goddess in charge of reincarnation, Aqua, and was told that everyone who reincarnates can get a cheat. Then, because Aqua mocked his death as being too embarrassing, the angry Kazuma chose to reincarnate with this goddess.

This is a parody of the isekai transmigration system genre.

As Shenhe watched, she suddenly turned her head and asked softly, "Boss, did you also transmigrate from another world like this?"

Xia Zhi said seriously, "Yes, I accidentally died, and then I transmigrated here."

"Was there a goddess who helped you reincarnate?"

"A very powerful goddess."

"Was there a cheat too?"

"Yes, the goddess gave me a pair of wings and sent me here."

"Is the transmigration location random?"

"Random."

"Then it's a good thing you landed in Liyue. Otherwise, Master would definitely not have met you, and I would not have met you."

"It means we are fated."

"Mm-hmm."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata glanced at Xia Zhi and said, "Is it interesting to lie to children like this?"

"What lie? I'm telling the truth."

"Just like in the anime, right? I almost believed it... Is the very powerful goddess you mentioned beautiful?"

"Very beautiful, much more beautiful than you. Let me tell you, I looked at her for too long and couldn't bear to blink, so my eyes went blind."

"Didn't you tell me before that you were injured because you looked at the sun for too long?"

"She is as dazzling as the sun." 

"..."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was silent for a moment and looked at Shenhe.

"He praises other women in front of you like this, and you don't do anything about it?"

Shenhe blinked.

"You're jealous."
