Type-Moon Demon King exploded Elle's gold coins at the beginning!

On the other side, Ishtar, who had already made her move, was at the dining table, smiling as she picked up a piece of food and gently placed it near Li Lin's mouth.

At this moment, she had completely shed her usual willfulness and arrogance, and instead exuded gentleness and the temperament of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Li Lin narrowed his eyes and did not accept Ishtar's offer of food.

This is strange, so very strange!

As the saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves!"

Faced with such a drastic change in Ishtar, Li Lin's vigilance instantly became heightened.

That idiot goddess is definitely up to no good!

"Alright, just say what you want to say. There's no need to be so hypocritical."

Li Lin grabbed her wrist, pushed the food away, and looked very indifferent.

"Hmm~ What's wrong with me? Can't I be gentle sometimes?"

When Ishtar saw that Li Lin refused her offer of food without hesitation, she pouted and said with dissatisfaction.

"Ha, you? Gentle?"

Li Lin looked at her with an amused expression and said...

"Do you believe what you said?"

"And think back to what you usually do before you talk to me about being gentle, okay?"

Ishtar: "......."

Clap a few times!

A twisted blue vein bulged on her forehead.

At the same time, the hand holding the chopsticks unconsciously began to tighten, almost breaking them directly.

Hoo-ha~, hoo-ha~

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

Ishtar took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

She hasn't achieved her goal yet, so she can't let all her previous efforts go to waste over such a small matter.

but.....

I'm so damn angry!! [Slams table!]

"Ok?"

"interesting."

Li Lin was quite surprised that Ishtar didn't go berserk because of his teasing.

You know, normally when he said that, the other person would already be lunging at him with bared teeth and claws.

Although this had basically become the norm for their daily flirting, every time Ishtar pounced on him, she would be met with Li Lin's merciless counterattack.

Even so, shouldn't we at least remain completely indifferent like this?

'Ha, trying to trick me? Looks like I'll have to prepare.'

Li Lin thought to himself.

Chapter 185, Ishtar and Aibifshan were practically face-to-face! Horrible!

The atmosphere at the dinner table became somewhat heavy for a moment.

Neither of them spoke as they moved the wine glass back and forth between their hands.

Ishtar turned her little head to one side, clearly feeling a little guilty.

So that's how it is. No wonder this guy was suddenly being so kind today; he was waiting for me here.

Li Lin glanced at the wine glass on the table with a deep look in his eyes, and then spoke.

"Tell me, what did you mix in?"

"No, don't talk nonsense! I didn't add anything to it!"

"No? Then why are you nervous?"

"Nervous? Not at all!"

Ishtar patted his chest, forcing himself to appear normal.

She said.

"It's just a glass of wine, why should I be nervous?"

"Ha, just a glass of wine?"

Looking at the proud goddess who was stubbornly refusing to admit it, Li Lin's lips curled into a smile.

He turned to the side, looking directly at Ishtar as he spoke.

"In that case, you can drink this glass of wine for me first."

Ishtar "..."

"Haha, what are you talking about? This is fruit wine that I prepared especially for you. How can I drink it first?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the goddess's temple.

She forced a smile, raised her glass, and slowly brought it to Li Lin's lips.

"Come on, drink it, and we can talk about it another day."

As he spoke, Ishtar tried to force the drink into Li Lin's mouth.

"Sigh, you really went to great lengths to drug me."

Li Lin pushed away the wine glass in front of him.

The spilled wine landed on Ishtar's fair neck, then slid down her smooth skin...

"Uh~!"

Ishtar frowned slightly.

Looking at the wine that had soaked her chest, a sense of pent-up frustration rose within her.

"Hmph, fine, I won't drink then. You're ungrateful for my kindness. It's not like I have to fawn over you!"

Ishtar snorted coldly.

He drank the rest of the drink in one gulp.

"Ding ~"

Li Lin raised an eyebrow as he watched Ishtar, who showed no change after finishing her drink.

What's going on?

Was there really nothing wrong with that glass of wine just now?

But that shouldn't be the case. If there's no problem, why is she nervous?

Li Lin's gaze was fixed on Ishtar, as if trying to penetrate her outer skin and see into her inner soul.

"What? You just think there's something wrong with this wine, don't you?"

Seeing that Li Lin was puzzled, Ishtar raised her eyebrows, poured herself another glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Is it really okay?"

"I already said no!"

"Okay, it seems I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

Li Lin nodded and sincerely apologized.

Since there was nothing wrong with the drinks, he didn't mind admitting his mistake.

Hehehe~ Looks like the first step went smoothly.

Ishtar's lips, hidden in the shadows, slowly curled into a crooked smile.

In fact, Li Lin's reaction was exactly what she had expected.

Her initial guilt, nervousness, and dissatisfaction were all an act.

The purpose was to use the tactic of "advancing as a retreat" to make Li Lin think that she had misunderstood her, thereby lowering his guard.

As for that elixir bought from Leonardo da Vinci...

Of course, you should drink it while you're at it!

She wasn't stupid. Knowing that Li Lin had a high chance of discovering her scheme, how could she possibly put all the drugs into the drink right away?

Only after Li Lin lowers his guard will he slowly add the elixir little by little, and then... hehehehehehe~~

Ishtar, whose face was hidden in the shadows, involuntarily burst into a strange laugh.

You didn't expect that, did you?

One day, I'll be able to turn the tables and exploit your weaknesses.

Hmph~, serves you right for always bullying me, now you'll pay!

Ishtar stopped laughing and returned to the light.

At the dinner table, she acted like a devoted wife, serving Li Lin food and pouring him wine.

Having enjoyed the delicious food for so long, Li Lin had almost given up the idea that there were treacherous subjects plotting against him.

Was I overthinking it after all?

Looking at the goddess so close to him, Li Lin's last remaining doubt vanished.

To be fair, Ishtar was a bit unreasonable.

However, it cannot be denied that she, who did not follow the old path in the myth of her previous life, also has her own gentleness.

She may be proud and aloof, but she's not stubborn.

Arrogant, but not incapable of looking down.

Her status as a goddess led her to view many things with an air of superiority.

Some foolish behaviors and inexplicable destruction are born from this.

But as the saying goes, a good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them.

You can't look at one side of a thing.

Ishtar, as a goddess of the heavens, once voted against the extinction of mankind.

Keep in mind, this was opposition made in front of the god-king Enlil.

This courage alone proves that she deserves the title of "Goddess of Goodness".

Of course, this only applies to Ishtar at this moment.

Li Lin picked up the refilled glass of wine on the table and downed it in one gulp.

What he didn't know was that the seemingly ordinary glass of wine suddenly emitted a strange pink hue just before he picked it up.

He drank it! He drank it!!!

Ishtar's eyes lit up, and she almost jumped up with excitement when she saw that Li Lin had finally fallen for her trick.

Before she could react, a large hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.

"Eh?"

Ishtar looked up in confusion, her eyes immediately meeting Li Lin's eerie gaze.

"........."

"I...I have something to say!!"

Ishtar swallowed hard and managed to utter those words.

Li Lin did not answer.
