I would rather betray the gods

The next morning in Pisces.

Yuzu brushed her teeth as she walked from the bedroom to the main hall.

There's no need to wait until you finish brushing; there are three or five maids following behind, some handing you towels and water, others carrying spittoons to collect the toothpaste.

To be honest, Yuzu isn't used to being waited on.

If he doesn't do this, the girls behind him will be scolded, and Banlan will accuse them of not fulfilling their duties.

Arriving at the small heavenly gate of the main hall, I had just finished washing up.

Yuzu wiped her face with a towel, then handed the towel to a maid, and then stretched comfortably.

As he stretched, he remembered that his left arm was injured, and he discovered that the injury had actually healed most of the way.

Is it really that amazing?

He swung his left arm wildly, yet he felt no pain or itch at all.

"Second Master, please don't be careless. Your wound has not healed yet. It's like... like a courtyard wall made of cement, where the cement in the joints hasn't dried completely."

Seeing this, a maidservant quickly stopped them.

Based on this clear and down-to-earth explanation, Yuzu immediately lowered her left arm and sat down at the table prepared by the maids to enjoy her meal, of course, using only her right hand.

It is unclear when, but the area in front of the Little Heavenly Gate has become the main dining place for this generation's God King.

The maids chuckled to themselves.

"Let him laugh. Who doesn't want an easy-going boss?" Yuzu didn't care about any of that bullshit about authority and even chuckled a few times. "Hey, by the way, what was I like in my past life? Would you be scared if you were following me around?"

"Second Master, your previous life was a thousand years ago, before I arrived."

A maid stepped forward to answer, but then stepped back.

Her insistence on speaking out when it wasn't her turn caused everyone else to burst into laughter.

This made everyone less reserved, and they all gathered around the table to chat as if it were a casual conversation.

From their back-and-forth conversation, Yuzu got the gist of it.

Actually, they don't know much about Zifeiyu either.

After all, Zifeiyu was a god-king on horseback. Even when he occasionally returned to the Pisces Palace to recuperate, military reports kept coming in. Except when he was sleeping, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers in armor most of the time.

One of the most senior maids had the good fortune to see him alone a few times. It was always late at night when Zi Feiyu would go to the back garden alone, gazing at the distant starry sky with a melancholy expression, and stay there for a long time without saying a word.

"He was a very quiet and handsome man, exuding a charming aura. My girlfriends and I all had a crush on him!"

When talking about deep feelings, the maid still couldn't help but cover her face.

A thousand years is nothing to the universe and to these laughing and joking gods, but for a god-king suffering from lovesickness, it is an extremely agonizing period of darkness.

Yuzu felt heavy-hearted at the thought that she had become one of the lucky ones under the dawn.

But the girls were having a great time, and he didn't want to spoil their fun, so he jokingly said, though his words didn't quite match his true feelings, "You're talking about your girlfriends from back then. Where are they now? Have they all been promoted while you're stuck in the same place?"

"They're all married now, and they've gone off to be wives and mothers."

As she spoke, the maid showed her phone's photo album. In the album, her best friends had gone to different planets with their families, which could be seen from the background of their respective family photos.

This pomelo understands, but it was only after becoming a god-king that it came to know.

So-called gods are not a "rare commodity". There are mortals who ascend to heaven after achieving merit, and there are also gods who form families and reproduce to produce divine offspring.

Those with supernatural abilities in the mortal world, tracing back to their ancestors, are the offspring of love between gods and mortals, with divine blood flowing in their veins.

Therefore, whether in the mortal world or in the higher realms, forming a family with one's soulmate is a major life lesson, and it is an inevitable part of the natural order.

Like Yin and Yang in Tai Chi, the harmony of Yin and Yang is the way of the universe.

Like many doctrines established on mortal planets that gods cannot fall in love, these are nothing more than lies fabricated by the indigenous elites, using the principle of "rarity makes things valuable" to make the beings on their planets believe that these elites are celestial beings descended to earth and cannot be challenged.

If all living beings knew that there were more and more gods in the half-heaven realm than monkeys on earth, who would care about those lying masters who expect to be fed?

"And you, why haven't you found a suitable husband yet after all this time?"

Yuzu asked again.

"As for me, I'll test him for at least another hundred years."

The maid casually flipped through the photos of her crush and hugged the phone to her chest, unable to put it down.

Yuzu glanced at the photo casually, and upon seeing the person in the picture, she immediately spat out the porridge she had just drunk.

Wow, this is quite the butler!

While surprised, he also sighed. Some people spend their whole lives but can't hold the hand of their destined person, like a fish that is not a fish, while others can stay by their side with their beloved without any rush, like the head butler and his future husband. When it really comes down to it, fate is not something that can be controlled by man.

"What kind of behavior is this, with no respect for elders and elders!"

A sudden reprimand shattered the cheerful atmosphere at the dinner table.

It was Banlan, who stood in front of the small dining table carrying the documents.

Upon seeing this, the maids hurriedly left.

"Hey, it's the 21st century, can you stop being so rigid? They're just talking to me, why are you being so mean?"

This was the first time Yuzu had ever seen Banlan with such an angry face.

"What's wrong with the 21st century? You have to act like you're working during work hours."

As she spoke, Banlan sat down cross-legged, grabbed whatever looked delicious on the table, and then put it in her mouth and chewed it heartily.

She and the head housekeeper have been busy since yesterday, and they are both tired and hungry.

Persistence pays off; after focusing their anchor point on the two-dimensional world, they finally located the hiding place of their inner demons.

Forehead...

Yuzu was speechless; it seemed only she could be so disrespectful.

"What are you looking at, old lady... cough cough~ I've been busy searching for my inner demons until now, shouldn't I eat something!" Actually, Banlan wasn't that particular about rules, but she was just unhappy that those maids were getting too close to her second master.

"Eat, eat more. If you're still not full, I'll ask someone to add some more dishes for you."

Upon hearing that it was about her, Yuzu was genuinely excited, so much so that she almost wanted to personally serve Banlan food, but in the end, she couldn't wait to pick up the documents and start looking through them...

In the afternoon, an army of three thousand men assembled in front of the main gate of the Pisces Palace.

The army stood in neat rows, all the soldiers clad in golden armor and riding tall horses, looking quite imposing from afar.

With the coordinates of the inner demons locked, this army can set off immediately with just a command.

According to Banlan, this army was the guard protecting Youzi. If Youzi hadn't insisted on coming along, she and the head steward would only have needed to bring about a hundred people.

This is by no means an overreaction. The calculated location of the inner demon is at the intersection of the jurisdictions of Pisces and Aries, an area teeming with strange insects and beasts, as well as uncontrolled primitive tribes, fraught with unknown dangers.

Before the array, Banlan sat a floating blue sphere, her personal mount named [Galaxy Encounter].

The head steward's creature was a strange beast with a horse's head and a turtle's body, named "Floating Horse".

"As for me, as a dignified god-king, I must have had my own personal vehicle in my previous life, right?"

Looking around, Yuzu realized that only her feet were on the ground, so she walked up to Banlan and asked her in a low voice.

It wouldn't be right for someone with the highest status and the coolest outfit to be the only one in the team without a mount, that would be too lame.

"Yes, it is enshrined in a large garden in the Pisces Palace."

Banlan didn't feel embarrassed at all, since she wasn't the one who was embarrassed.

"Then why didn't you lead it out for me?"

Yuzu immediately became unhappy.

"It's not that I won't let you ride it, it's just that you're too weak to control it right now. I'm afraid it will catch you with its gluttonous maw if you jump onto its back."

As she spoke, Banlan moved to the side and patted the empty space, indicating that he should sit in her seat.

She wasn't afraid of him taking advantage of her, nor was she afraid of him taking a loss.

额~

Yuzu is too shallow to take advantage of this; any member of the opposite sex, except for the person he likes, can easily strip him bare.

He immediately shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

Damn it, I don't let just anyone take advantage of me!

Banlan cursed under her breath, her face turning green with anger.

Immediately, she forcefully waved her sleeve, using the power of the stars to open a hidden teleportation portal, and commanded, "All troops, advance!"

In an instant, the entire army transformed into a beam of light and surged into the teleportation portal.

In the blink of an eye, all that remained was a gust of wind and a pomelo that hadn't even had time to react.

Even more tragically, just as Yuzu was about to transform into a golden light and chase after him, the portal closed, leaving Banlan not even a crack.

"Banlan! You, you, you...you're so naughty."

Yuzu paced in front of the main entrance, pointed at the air, and roared.

That incredibly cool armor, that domineering aura—what a majestic lone commander!

In fact, Banlan never intended to bring him along from the beginning, after all, the safety of the God King was no trivial matter.

However, if he had chosen to sit next to her just now, perhaps she would have changed her mind.
