I would rather betray the gods

Chapter 19: Quietly Sprouting

When Yuzu woke up again, she was in her own bedroom.

By then, the sky outside the window was already filled with starlight.

The night sky here is thousands or even tens of thousands of times more beautiful than on Earth.

There are twinkling stars in the night sky, and planets flowing in the Milky Way.

Yuzu dragged her aching body out the window, looked at the scenery outside, and gradually felt more relaxed.

Then, he was led to the back garden by the maid who had been waiting for him.

The bonfire in the back garden was burning brightly, and colorful fireflies danced in every corner.

The head butler who grilled the dinosaur meat, along with the maids who arranged the delicacies, had been waiting for a long time.

"Second Master is awake, please take a seat."

Banlan stopped what she was doing, placed her hands on her abdomen, and bowed respectfully.

Yuzu rubbed her rumbling stomach and sat down at the table without any hesitation.

However, such a lavish dinner would only taste half as good if eaten alone, so he asked everyone present not to just stand and watch, but to eat together.

Upon receiving the order, everyone pulled up their stools and sat down without any hesitation. They chatted and laughed freely while eating, completely at ease.

Because their god-king was incredibly easygoing and unpretentious from the very first day he entered the Pisces Palace. At first, they found it hard to believe, but gradually, everyone came to admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

"Let's put aside the matter of inner demons for now, and take action only when we discover them again."

Yuzu put down his chopsticks and toasted everyone with a beverage instead of wine, thanking them for the delicious meal they had prepared for him.

He rarely drinks, partly because he has a naturally low alcohol tolerance and partly because he doesn't want to get drunk and affect his writing.

"That's fine too."

Banlan agreed wholeheartedly, as the Second Master's health was her biggest concern.

"On Earth, I can trigger a resonance with my inner demons simply by moving my arm, but when I come to the Half-Heaven and make a big fuss, the aura of my inner demons disappears. Don't you find that strange?"

After finishing his drink, Yuzu added a comment.

You mean...?

Banlan and the head butler exchanged glances.

They initially thought Yuzu was the most anxious person caught in the vortex, but now they realized he was more clear-headed and calm than anyone else...

After a satisfying meal, Youzi lay on a rocking chair at the edge of the garden, scrolling through short videos from Earth.

No need to worry about latency; the signal receiver from Half-Heaven uses true quantum technology, ensuring a strong signal.

Who would have thought that gods who can fly and communicate with divine will are even more obsessed with technology than mortals? Haha?

Outside the garden, there are stunning mountains and rivers set against a backdrop of starry skies.

"Second Master, Banlan has a question for you."

Banlan sat on a swing not far away, her beautiful hair swaying in the wind, her beauty capable of shaking distant mountains and rivers.

"What?"

Yuzu glanced at her, but before she could finish speaking, her gaze returned to her phone screen.

"You've been the God King for almost two months now, so why don't I see any signs of excitement in you? It's like... it's like you've never been reincarnated, and you're still living the life you knew so well from your previous life."

It's hard to keep a problem inside, but it feels much better to talk about it. Banlan gently swayed the swing.

"Oh! I thought it was some serious question. It's very simple. Becoming the God-King isn't my achievement. I only know that I've been doing nothing on Earth."

As they were talking, Yuzu came across an interesting video and chuckled.

As for Banlan, he answered, but it also seemed like he didn't answer.

"unless!"

Just as Banlan was savoring the pomelo's answer, the pomelo suddenly became serious.

"Um?"

The vibrant colors are inexplicable.

"Unless I, who am not the God-King, become the pride of my parents, and as the God-King surpassing my past life, Zi Feiyu, one day I will shine with my own destiny!"

The momentary seriousness lasted only a few seconds before Yuzu suddenly came across an even more interesting video and excitedly ran over to Banlan to share it.

Lofty ambitions lie in the calm and tranquility of the sky; even if one has seen the most magnificent starry sky, one's heart is still gently touched by it.

She brushed her stray hairs away from her ears and looked at the Second Master, who was laughing and joking as he explained the video, her eyes filled with admiration.

Later, the maids took their shifts to rest, and Banlan went to assist the head steward in inspecting the 3,600 realms of the Milky Way under the jurisdiction of the Pisces Palace. Only Youzi remained in the back garden, still engrossed in watching videos.

He used to refuse to use the apps his older sister forced him to use, and even rejected them.

Now, his attitude towards social media is quietly changing.

Over this period of time, the big data also remembered his interests and hobbies. The software mostly recommended some interesting, encyclopedic, and military videos to him, and occasionally other videos, but he ruthlessly swiped them away.

Tonight, mischievous big data is trying to steer him to look at something else.

He didn't stand on ceremony and removed them one by one.

Suddenly, a girl's artwork hanging upside down on the parallel bars stopped him in his tracks.

Recalling his first encounter with parallel bars in junior high school, he remembered how many embarrassing incidents he made while practicing the inverted stance. Touched by the memory, he decided to click on it.

The work provides more information; it turns out the author is a yoga teacher, and it shows that the author is currently live-streaming.

He was no stranger to yoga; he had learned about it from magazines when he was in school, but he had never seen a real person practicing it. So he clicked on the live stream.

Upon entering the live stream, I saw the girl performing yoga poses in the video, and she looked truly elegant.

However, few viewers know how to appreciate art, and the comments are full of vulgar and offensive language.

This made Yuzu feel quite unfair; they were working hard in the middle of the night, so why were they making such a racket!

So he glanced at a comment and replied, intending to say something fair, but unexpectedly, due to his clumsy hands and some unknown mistake, he directly copied the other person's comment and even sent it to the live stream!

"Watching your livestream will make me malnourished."

Yuzu stared at the comment she had typed, her forehead covered in black lines.

His first thought was to run away, since he wouldn't have any contact with anyone after that, but his conscience made him uneasy.

Finally, he decided to bite the bullet and wait for the streamer to come back, see his comment, get a scolding, and then leave dejectedly.

Unexpectedly, when the girl returned to the screen, she not only didn't blame him, but also greeted him with the username "Luoyu Tingchan" (meaning "Listening to Cicadas in the Rain"), saying, "Hello Luoyu Tingchan, welcome to my live stream."

God!

The girl's magnanimity made Yuzu feel even more ashamed and unable to let it go.

Suddenly, Yuzi's eyes lit up, and she thought of a good way to make up for her mistake—she angrily spent six yuan to give the girl some virtual flowers.

As the message "Gift sent" appeared on the public chat, the girl on the other side of the screen smiled happily.

Yuzu could tell that she was genuinely happy, not just going through the motions.

Six, just six yuan! In my memory, aren't those streamers only "slightly excited" when they receive special effects?

The pomelo is quite puzzling.

However, he overlooked one point: having never watched live streams before, his impression of the streamer was still based on what his real-life friends had said, and the streamer in front of him was just a newcomer with dozens of viewers watching online.

This shattered his prejudice against live streaming, and he, who had always disliked watching it, interacted with the girl more.

When they first met, the girl impressed him with her beauty and sweet voice.

After watching the girl's live stream for half an hour, which was unprecedented for her, Youzi dragged her extremely tired body away.

Before shutting down his phone, he left a message for the girl in the background, telling her that he was not good at managing money, so his meager salary was kept under control. Otherwise, he would definitely send her more money to support her.

Back in her bedroom, Yuzu felt tired but not sleepy, so she picked up a biography from her bedside table and continued reading.

He brought a book with a cover made of Tyrannosaurus Rex skin from the library. It contained a detailed account of his previous life as Zi Feiyu, a soldier.

A god-king on horseback, because of him, most of the Milky Way galaxy transitioned from barbarism to civilization...
