“Fantasy Divine Domain, what a garbage game!”
“Garbage game, garbage game, garbage game!”
“Garbage game! Garbage game!”
“Garbage game!”
Every single player, every NPC, every item, every skill…
It was all a pile of shit built purely on stats and mechanics!
Calling it manure would be a compliment.
Numeric pollution, disgusting, too disgusting!
Ugh—
Primrose lowered her head slightly, covering her mouth. No one knew what she was going through at that moment.
She was allergic to growing strings of numbers, with an innate sense of fear and nausea toward them.
So much so that she hadn’t opened her own status panel in a long time.
In the past, she had endured that disgust for large numbers, relying on the thrill of swiping her credit card and overwhelming everything, forcing herself to keep playing until Fantasy Divine Domain, that garbage game, shut down.
Meanwhile, Lin Naiyue had already passed Cecilia and Yuna and moved to the very front.
Lin Naiyue’s expression was serious, her violet eyes bright and spirited, shining like gems.
She wasn’t looking at the powerful succubus but at the little demon girl lying on the ground eating mud.
“Cecilia, Yuna.” Lin Naiyue’s voice was very calm, yet carried an undeniable force.
“Whether she’s a demon or not, when we see such a small child being hunted down, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
Lin Naiyue’s thought process was simple.
Be it a demon, a human, or any other race.
She only knew one thing: an adult bullying a child was simply not acceptable.
Moreover, this child was so cute, she looked exactly like the daughter Lin Naiyue had always imagined.
Seeing her fall so hard, how could she bear to just ignore it?
The moment she finished speaking, Lin Naiyue directly swung her Moon Sword and stepped forward.
“Mother!”
“Lord Hero!”
Cecilia and Yuna panicked.
If something happened to Lin Naiyue, how would they explain it to the Goddess?
Lin Naiyue’s body once again turned into an afterimage, instantly appearing behind the little girl, directly facing Lilith.
“Don’t you dare bully a child!”
Lin Naiyue shouted loudly, gripping her sword with both hands, and fiercely struck at the pursuing succubus.
Lilith was just following the Demon King’s script, planning to finish this chase scene.
She didn’t think much of these humans at all.
And that silver-haired girl was a goddess who couldn’t make a move against local residents like them.
Even if she might add some BUFFs to the hero, Lilith wasn’t worried.
After all, she was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race, Lilith the Succubus.
Even if she couldn’t beat a goddess, was she afraid of a rookie hero buffed by a deity?
Fine, following the Demon King’s words, even if she hypothetically couldn’t beat this hero, couldn’t she at least easily defend against a strengthened hero’s attack?
She had even prepared her lines, planning to taunt a bit before making her move.
But just then, that woman with the sword suddenly charged.
Incredibly fast!
Lilith was startled.
This speed was absolutely not something a newly descended rookie hero could have!
She instinctively raised the long whip in her hand, holding it horizontally to block.
Clang!
The Moon Sword slammed heavily into the whip’s handle.
A tremendous force transmitted along the shattered whip handle.
Lilith felt as if her arm had been struck by a giant hammer, her tiger’s mouth instantly split open, blood flowing out.
“What?!”
Lilith was shocked, quickly letting go and retreating backward.
She was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, renowned for strength and speed.
Though she hadn’t used full force just now, that block still used seventy percent of her power.
Yet she was actually knocked back by this human woman’s sword!
Lilith’s body uncontrollably slid back a dozen meters, her feet plowing two deep grooves in the grass before she barely managed to stop.
She lifted her head, face full of shock, her dark purple rhomboid pupils fixed on Lin Naiyue.
Impossible!
How could a mere human hero possess such power?
Was she hiding her true strength?
Lilith roared wildly in her heart.
She had originally wanted to counterattack directly and tear this woman to pieces.
But then, from the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of the little girl lying on the ground—the Demon King, Dorothy.
Dorothy was watching her with an extremely icy gaze.
The meaning in that look was very clear: you can act, but don’t ruin my fun.
Lilith shuddered all over.
She immediately came to her senses. This was no time for a desperate fight; the script still had to be followed.
So, clutching her bleeding arm, Lilith put on an expression of unwillingness and wariness.
“Damn it! Didn’t expect you guys to have some skill.”
Lilith ground her teeth and spat out harsh words, “You got lucky today! All of you just wait, this isn’t over!”
With that, Lilith turned around, spread her bat-like wings, flapped them hard, and shot into the sky as a black shadow, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
Lin Naiyue stood still, watching the flying succubus leave, and let out a long sigh of relief.
She quickly sheathed her sword, turned around, and crouched down to help the little girl, who had a mouthful of mud, back to her feet.
“Little one, are you okay? Did you get hurt?” Lin Naiyue gently wiped the dirt off the little girl’s face.
Dorothy leaned into Lin Naiyue’s embrace, pretending to tremble with fear, her eyes glistening with tears. “Waaah, thank you, big sister. I was so scared…”
Dorothy buried her face in Lin Naiyue’s chest, the corner of her mouth slightly curling up, revealing a strange smile that no one could detect.
“Hohoho… Quite interesting.” Dorothy thought to herself.
She had seen it all clearly when Lilith blocked that sword just now.
Lilith hadn’t held back much at all, yet this hero had used pure, raw strength to cut through her weapon and knock her back.
“Her strength is surprisingly immense, and her heart… is pretty kind-hearted.”
“She didn’t even care that I’m a demon and just rushed in to save me. No wonder she’s Big Sister’s mother.”
Dorothy savored the warmth of Lin Naiyue’s embrace.
The reason Dorothy knew Lin Naiyue was Primrose’s mother was entirely because she used a Miracle Grade magical artifact—the Omniscient Crystal Ball.
This ball was a birthday gift Primrose had given her a thousand years ago, when she was still a human little girl.
When those three goddesses descended earlier, Dorothy hadn’t bothered to use the crystal ball to check their location or identity.
She had just sent her subordinates to kill them.
But this time was different.
When she heard that the descending goddess was Primrose, she immediately used the crystal ball.
Through the crystal ball, she not only saw Primrose but also discovered the relationship between the hero and Primrose.
When she found out that this hero was actually Primrose’s biological mother in the real world, Dorothy was almost ecstatic with excitement.
A mother-daughter duo coming together?
And one is a goddess, the other a hero?
This script was simply perfect!
Thus, Dorothy immediately formulated this plan.
She had Lilith cooperate with her in putting on this act, pretending to be a demon orphan being hunted down, in order to get close to Primrose and Lin Naiyue.
She wanted to see what Primrose’s heart had become like after a thousand years apart.
Even more, she wanted to see how this mother-daughter pair would react to her, this pitiful little demon girl.
As it stood now, the first step of the plan was a complete success.
This overly kind-hearted mother had already taken the bait completely.
