âIf you donât want to choose, you can request both.â The voice that came from the Moon Goddess Temple left Zhou Wenâs mouth agape in surprise. He failed to immediately recover from his shock.
He didnât know that he could make such a choice. In the past, when he had chosen Truth Listener and Banana Fairy, he could only choose once. There would be no reaction if he tried again.
But this entity was different. She actually said that he could choose them both.
Conspiracy... It must be a conspiracy... This Lady Supreme Yin wants to scam me after scamming them?
Zhou Wen didnât believe that such a good thing would happen and felt that there was definitely a trap.
Shen Yuchi also thought so, so he kept looking at Zhou Wen. If Zhou Wen were to choose to take both, he might end up worse than Wang Qiuyuan.
âYour Excellency, Iâm not doubting you. Itâs just that Iâve heard from others that a person can only choose a Companion Beast once, right?â Zhou Wen said.
âThatâs right. A person can only choose once.â The Moon Goddessâs voice floated out again.
Zhou Wen never expected the Moon Goddess to admit it so quickly. After some thought, he carefully asked again, âOne person can only choose one Companion Beast?â
âYes,â the Moon Goddess answered with certainty.
âThen why are you allowing me to take both?â Zhou Wen felt that the Moon Goddessâs trap was a little too obvious. No matter how stupid he was, he wouldnât fall for it that easily, right?
Although Shen Yuchi knew that Zhou Wen was very careful, he couldnât help but feel somewhat disappointed when he saw that Zhou Wen wasnât tempted.
âChoosing and requesting are two separate matters.â The Moon Goddessâs voice sounded, leaving Zhou Wen and Shen Yuchi stunned as their emotions underwent a subtle change.
âYou mean...â Zhou Wen looked at the pearl and jade slip in disbelief.
âNow that these two Companion Beasts have been chosen, there are naturally no rules. Anyone can take them away and hatch them.â The Moon Goddessâs words left Shen Yuchi somewhat dumbfounded.
It must be a conspiracy... There must be a conspiracy...
Shen Yuchi reacted and stared at the pearl and jade slip in the temple as he thought repeatedly.
âThat works too... However, Your Excellency, your divine might is too powerful. A mortal like me canât enter your temple...â No matter how greedy Zhou Wen was, he didnât dare enter to take them.
However, just as Zhou Wen said that, the pearl and jade slip flew out and quickly landed in his hand.
Zhou Wen held the pearl and jade slip in disbelief.
Could it be that my luck has really turned for the better? I actually encountered such a good thing. Or could it be that Iâm handsome and confident, and Lady Supreme Yin thinks that Iâm a promising talent?
Zhou Wen looked at the pearl and jade slip in his hand and was momentarily at a loss.
Meanwhile, Shen Yuchi gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered. He had been tricked. Furthermore, he had been tricked by a deity.
However, he still couldnât figure out why the Moon Goddess would entrap him and Wang Qiuyuan and give Zhou Wen the Companion Beasts that originally belonged to him and Wang Qiuyuan.
This didnât make sense. It didnât make any sense at all.
According to the information he had obtained, the Moon Goddess was a goddess who saved the world from calamity. It didnât matter if one came from a noble family or a lowly family. Therefore, she didnât have any requirements for their physiques. As long as one sincerely knelt and prayed, they would be rewarded by her.
But from the looks of it, that wasnât the case at all.
Zhou Wen didnât even kneel. He even caused trouble in front of the Moon Goddess Temple. That was a great disrespect to the Moon Goddess.
Now, not only did the Moon Goddess not punish him, but she had also scammed them and given their Companion Beasts to Zhou Wen. This infuriated Shen Yuchi to the point of nearly exploding. He couldnât understand why this was happening.
Thankfully, Shen Yuchi had experienced too many storms in his life. He had long reached the point where he didnât show his emotions on his face. Even though he didnât show it at all, he was so angry that he almost went crazy.
âLady Moon Goddess, you are truly wise, mighty, beautiful, and magnanimous...â After Zhou Wen confirmed that the Companion Beasts in his hand werenât fake, he thought about the praises his limited vocabulary could afford and used them all to praise the Moon Goddess.
He now felt that the Moon Goddess was the best deity in the worldâa deity with such foresight should be the only true god in the world.
Those gods such as God, Jade Emperor, Buddha, and the like were nothing compared to the mighty Moon Goddess. They should have long been eliminated.
âThatâs not what you were thinking. Didnât you say that I should be called Scam Goddess?â The words that came from the Moon Goddess Temple instantly made Zhou Wen break out into a cold sweat.
âNothing of that sort. You are the gentle, beautiful, and kind Goddess of the Moon. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to you, Iâll not let him off,â Zhou Wen hurriedly said, not daring to think too much.
Moon Goddess seemed to have the ability to read minds.
Beside him, Shen Yuchiâs face turned pale. If the Moon Goddess really had the ability to read minds, what he was thinking would probably lead him to an outcome worse than Wang Qiuyuan.
Just as he thought of this, his body quickly froze, turning into a jade statue like Wang Qiuyuan.
âSince you have already obtained the Companion Beasts, would you mind doing me a small favor?â The Moon Goddess didnât harp on the matter.
âYou also know that Iâm weak. What can I do for you?â Zhou Wenâs heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself,
As expected, thereâs no free lunch in this world. I wonder what this Moon Goddess wants?
âItâs not a big deal. Go to Moon Palace and help Changâe defeat the logger,â the Moon Goddess said.
âYour Excellency, your divine powers are boundless. Isnât it just a matter of moving your fingers to deal with the logger? With my lowly strength, I wonât be of much help even if I go. Instead, I might become a burden.â Zhou Wen wasnât crazy. How could he be a match for the logger?
However, the Moon Goddessâs words confirmed that the one possessing Wei Ge was the logger.
âIf I could leave this temple, would I need to seek your help?â The Moon Goddess said, âHer abilities are very compatible with the Moon Palace. If you take her to help in the battle, you might be able to defeat the logger.â
Moon Goddess was naturally referring to the frozen Ice Maiden.
âYou also said that itâs a âmightâ...â Zhou Wen still didnât want to go. Ignoring how terrifying the logger was, the body he possessed belonged to Wei Ge. They were former school classmates after all. Neither Wei Ge nor the logger had made attempts on his life. It wouldnât be right for him to kill them, much less destroy Wei Geâs body.
âOf course, you can also choose not to help. However, if the logger succeeds, the Moon will be destroyed. Do you think Earth will be unaffected?â the Moon Goddess said calmly.
Zhou Wen naturally knew that the Moon had a huge influence on Earth. If the Moon was really destroyed, Earth would definitely be greatly affected. It was even possible for an apocalyptic calamity to happen.
âDidnât the logger say that he only wants to retrieve his Companion Beast? It shouldnât be that exaggerated to the point of destroying the Moon, right?â Zhou Wen was skeptical.
âDo you know what Companion Beast he wants to take away?â the Moon Goddess asked calmly.
