Chapter 39
Was Chapter 39 good?
"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense, this is not something to joke about."
"I...have...something to do, so I'll be going now."
Xia Er stammered a few words of explanation, then turned and flew out of the palace. The shame of having his browsing history seen made him wish he could fly from the Rhodes Islands to the North Continent right now.
"You can't leave now."
"It seems there's still a lot I need to teach you."
"I'm really afraid that if you go out and take a trip, you'll unwittingly drive yourself to your own demise by sticking to your own principles."
Goshinam was faster than Chael; she grabbed Chael's long hair and dragged him back.
Of course, Xia Er refused. He really didn't dare to stay here any longer. This mind-reading female monster was too terrifying. Even his natural disaster properties were activated. He would rather have his hair torn off than not leave as soon as possible.
"You don't actually think you can use what I sealed for you against me, do you?"
Goshinam snorted coldly at Xia'er, who was still trying to run away. Her power extended along Xia'er's hair, directly suppressing the natural disaster characteristics within Xia'er's body. Xia'er was in so much pain that tears came out, but the damn hair still wouldn't break.
"Don't waste your energy. Pokémon hair is very difficult to break, especially the stronger the Pokémon. Their extraordinary abilities give their hair a great boost."
With a forceful pull, Chael stumbled backward as she was caught by the shoulder. She brushed aside the stray strands of hair, grabbed Chael's chin, and forced the other's terrified eyes to meet her own brown ones.
"You want me?"
shame...
Intense shame...
The dark side of my heart was exposed in a single sentence...
Chael's heart pounded like a drum, echoing rapidly through the empty, deserted palace.
He didn't know why he was acting like a fool, unsure how to react. He had felt perfectly comfortable teasing Sauron, but now... but now... he just wanted to die... Why wasn't he dead?!
Looking at Xia Er, whose eyes were darting away and whose face was flushed red, Goshinam smiled, grabbed his chin, and leaned in to kiss him.
Break apart at the touch of a touch...
Shael stared blankly at the Elf Queen, his heart pounding even faster.
"What's your name?"
"Goshinam asked."
"Xia Ran".
"I can't help but reply," Xia Er replied unconsciously.
"How old are you?"
"Will your two lives add up to 100 years?"
Gohchinam continued to ask.
Chael tried to turn his head away, but his hair and chin were held tightly, so he could only shake his head.
"What about at 50?"
Xia Er hesitated and shook her head again.
"Turns out it's still a baby."
Gohchinam's tone became a little lighter.
He is a god who lived from the Second Age to the Fourth Age, and he can accept that a little elf who is still a baby would be so immature.
"I'm not..."
Xia Er instinctively retorted that he felt too ashamed to mention the word "baby".
"lie."
Goshinam bit Chael's pointed ear, and Chael's breathing became somewhat rapid.
Are you still running?
"You don't want to run anymore? You want to stay here, looking forward to more?"
Shael didn't say a word, but the high elf read his mind and understood his thoughts.
"Tell me, just talk about now."
"You've also been in contact with several other women."
Goshinam dragged Chael back to the throne on the high platform. She sat on it, held Chael in her arms, and gently stroked his cheek with one hand as she asked.
"Not many."
Chael sat somewhat bewildered on Goshinam's lap, reluctant to answer the question.
"So you weren't lying, it seems there really aren't many."
Goshinam observed Xia'er's expression and nodded.
"You didn't bring those women back; you just wanted to have some fun and didn't want any trouble, right?"
Gohchinam asked again.
Shael opened his mouth, feeling a little hoarse, but looking into Goshinam's calm brown eyes, he nodded with difficulty.
He felt like his life was dead.
Again.
He died...
He's just so irresponsible...
"You did a good job."
Unexpectedly, Goshinam patted Shael's head with satisfaction.
"It seems I was worrying a bit too much. Although you're still a baby, you're already quite sensible. No wonder I was fooled by your behavior before."
Gohchinam said with satisfaction.
"What...does...you mean?"
"I can't believe it," Xia Er asked.
"Don't you understand?"
"Are you wondering?"
"Is that so hard to understand?"
"When you were idly playing around with those mermaids, didn't I not object?"
With a flick of his wrist, Gochnam conjured up images of Shael fishing and teasing a mermaid in the Rhodes Islands.
boom!
Chael smashed the screen with a punch.
"You're violating my privacy? Can't you have any moral compass? How is this any different from a deity spying on believers' daily lives?"
At this moment, Chael's desire to move out and live alone became extremely strong.
Fortunately, he returned to the elven settlement only after becoming a demigod. If he had returned at Sequence 5, his very clothes would probably have been dug up.
"First, this is because I'm giving you extra attention; otherwise, why would you be receiving this treatment now?"
"Secondly, the fact that believers have no privacy is just because the gods are too lazy to look, not because the gods will consider the believers' thoughts."
Gochnam corrected two of Chael's mistakes.
"You mean...like a mermaid?"
"But that's..."
Shael originally wanted to say that Sauron was a human, but he suddenly stopped. In Goshinam's eyes, Sauron, who was at Sequence 5, seemed to be no different from a mermaid.
There are no human rights here either.
In the Second Age, within the Elven faction, the Seafolk held a higher status than the Humans.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Shael struggled for a moment, and Goshinam released his grip. He stood up and looked at the Elf Queen on the throne, asking her a question.
"What am I trying to say?"
"You've touched me, hugged me, kissed me, is that enough?"
Goshinam looked at Shael with interest and asked.
Chael's expression stiffened again. What could he say? Enough? Or not enough?
brush!
Another bolt of lightning flashed by.
This time, Xia Er accurately caught the Elf Queen's kicking leg. Without hesitation, he punched the Elf Queen's shoulder with his other fist.
Goshinam still didn't defend herself. Seeing that Xiaer hadn't held back this time, she nodded in satisfaction. She raised her hand and waved it gently, and a breeze swept by, blowing her loose robe up along her calf that was being held.
Look?
Not going to watch?
Damn it, since I've already lost face, why not look?
You have to choose between hypocrisy and despicableness, right?
I've become despicable, so what!
Xia Er paused in his attack, his gaze involuntarily shifting, and then he saw that the deep blue scales covered parts that shouldn't be exposed, like clothing.
I knew it...
Thump!
He suffered a severe blow to the abdomen.
