Under the influence of the charm buff, Lu Ran kept demanding Q coins. Wei Yang, the Dragon King, was powerless to resist and eventually fainted. When she finally regained consciousness, she saw nothing but a vast blank space.
‘Great, have I finally reached heaven? Have I finally died…’
Wei Yang had never wanted to ascend to the heavens so badly before.
While she was lost in thought, she suddenly sensed a presence behind her. She turned around to see a young girl—if she were to judge by appearance rather than age.
“It is our first time meeting~ I have always wanted to see you.”
Even Wei Yang, who had seen a beauty of Ah Li’s caliber, had to admit that the girl’s beauty could make anyone give up everything just for a single smile.
The girl’s body was a translucent milky white. Her abdomen was particularly clear, looking as if a few fish could swim inside her. Because of this, the shape of her gorgeous long hair could be seen through her waist, and Wei Yang could even see the faint outlines of what appeared to be internal organs.
The moment her orange-yellow, crescent-shaped pupils met Wei Yang’s gaze, they fused and reorganized like liquid silver into sparkling, starry eyes.
The girl’s aura was incredibly unusual. Wei Yang realized that this was not heaven, but a soul channel she had created. Only a god could possess such an ability. In other words, the person in front of her was—
“Heng’e?”
“Bingo! It is your goddess, Heng’e~”
“I’ll kill you, meow.”
If it were the old Wei Yang, she wouldn’t have bullied Heng’e, but the current Dragon King Wei Yang, who had just been forcefully given Q coins, was different. Lu Ran’s transformation definitely had something to do with Heng’e!
And so, with a smile on her face, Wei Yang raised her fox fists and unleashed a thousand strikes in an instant upon Heng’e.
“Eeeek~ Why are you hitting me the moment we meet, meow!?”
“You’re asking why? I’m the one who wants to ask why!”
Unfortunately, her pink fists landed on Heng’e as if she were merely flirting. Moreover, the sensation of hitting the goddess was very strange, like hitting gel. Deep indentations would form under her strikes and then slowly bounce back.
To put it bluntly, it was a bit disgusting. Rather than a god, Wei Yang felt she was more like a humanoid slime.
By the time Wei Yang was too tired to lift her arms, Heng’e even reached out to pat her head. Wei Yang glared at her, but she didn’t have the strength to resist, so she let her continue.
“Fine, give me an explanation.”
“Because my divine office is ‘Love and Child-rearing,’ my divine power’s characteristics also lean in that direction. By the way, after you drowned, your soul was fished out by me. You are a person without a trace of magic power, a rarity not seen in a millennium. Only you can accept divine power and become my Angel. I am truly fortunate to have met you!”
Wei Yang understood. Her body now bore the marks of the goddess’s divine power. When she came into contact with Lu Ran, she hadn’t controlled it, and it automatically flowed into the other girl. Under the blessing of the divine power’s characteristics, Lu Ran had uncontrollably attacked her.
Aside from that, it seemed her eyes still had X-ray vision active.
She tried the method Ah Li had taught her and finally managed to turn off the passive X-ray vision. Divine power and magic power shared the same underlying logic, though divine power was far superior in performance.
When she looked back at Heng’e, the goddess’s skin was no longer translucent but appeared no different from a normal human’s. It seemed the X-ray vision had a unique and strange effect when looking at gods.
“You really screwed me over. I was given Q coins for so long. How exactly are you going to compensate me?”
“Uh, you could also give me Q coins. Besides, I am a god, so I won’t faint. You can give them to me for as long as you want~”
Wei Yang was truly speechless.
“I’m not doing that. Why did you want to meet me, you ultimate loser goddess with only one believer?”
“Stop… stop insulting me… Anyway, back to the main topic. There is one last step for the contract, and that is your personal consent.”
Heng’e took a deep breath and tapped the air lightly. Pale yellow incantations appeared and gathered together, flipping like a snake swallowing its own tail until they transformed into an Angel’s halo.
“Accept this halo and collect faith for me in the mortal world. People’s faith in me can be converted into your divine power. You can replenish your divine power and become stronger just by getting close to believers. It’s very convenient, right?”
The goddess looked at Wei Yang expectantly. Theoretically, Wei Yang should accept here, officially become an Angel, and start her mission. But she suddenly wanted to tease this girl.
“I refuse!”
“Eh!?”
At those words, the previously composed goddess instantly panicked.
“Please, please wait! Why are you refusing? Please do not reject me!”
Generally speaking, a god wouldn’t get so agitated. But Heng’e’s situation was different. She currently didn’t have enough faith, and things were looking grim. If Wei Yang refused her, it was highly likely that she and her divine status would be completely annihilated.
“Because I just don’t want to.”
“Don’t be so selfish. I… I’m telling you, it takes a lot of effort for a god to establish this soul channel for a conversation. Could you please just form the contract with me today…”
The tables had turned. She grabbed Wei Yang’s hand flatteringly and pressed her body against her. At the same time, her pupils merged like liquid silver once more and turned into heart shapes.
Wei Yang’s consciousness became slightly blurred for a moment.
‘Is this a charm ability?’
“Huh? Why didn’t it work?”
“So you admit it! To think you’d use such cheap tricks… Give up, I’m not signing the contract.”
“No—! This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to get an Angel! I am definitely going to make you my Angel!”
Wei Yang hadn’t expected her to suddenly start rolling around on the ground like a child throwing a tantrum.
‘As expected of a lewd goddess, I can almost see that in this posture.’
“If I let you see what’s under my skirt, would you be willing to become my Angel?”
“No. Why would I accept a contract for a reason like that? And stop reading my mind, it’s disgusting.”
“Then what about this Sacred Treasure? This is my final ripple!”
Heng’e lifted her skirt and pulled out a horn from underneath.
Wei Yang didn’t want to know at all why she could pull a Sacred Treasure out from there. She only wore a dark expression of disgust and contempt for this goddess. Seeing her lack of reaction, the goddess’s eyes grew even more tearful as she gazed at Wei Yang.
“Please, please, please! I’m begging you, begging you, begging you! Lu Ran is my only believer. If this continues, I’ll fade away!”
Wei Yang shrugged. This girl was actually quite interesting. She decided to stop messing around and get serious.
“Fine, I’ll reluctantly agree. It’s not like I want to, okay? It’s just because you’re so pitiful and you saved my life. Don’t get the wrong idea.”
*Splat.*
Heng’e threw her arms around Wei Yang.
“Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me, I can’t breathe…”
However, Heng’e was simply too excited. She kept rambling on about things like, “I finally have an Angel,” “I love you so much, you can do whatever you want to me,” and “Be my Angel for the rest of your life, forever!” She didn’t notice at all that the Wei Yang in her arms already had XX eyes and had passed out.
