Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 9: Becoming Your God (VII)

The ball lasted for three days, but Shang Ke did not come on the second day since Tima and Yitamo became formally acquainted with each other. Tima would be his designated dance partner for the upcoming ballroom dances.

Shang Ke was interested in creating more opportunities for them to interact with each other as often as possible. He didn't want to be a third wheel in their relationship. The Shu Clansmen also had their own mission to complete which was to head out and set up their own stall. They wanted to sell some finely made objects, specially made desserts, tiny trinkets, and other items. They would become more used to this place as they made money.

The Shu Clan's elderly did not want the younger generation to live in the forests of the mountain forever. They should gain more experience when given the opportunity. They didn't have the desire to get close to the Yu Empire through marriage of their own to the Prince. They only wanted their clansmen to become more experienced by living in the empire.

In the current lifetime, they had permission from both Yitamo and the War God. Shang Ke was sure that their desires would be fulfilled early. When it came to the topic of becoming a part of the Royal Family through marriage, it would happen if it was meant to be. If it wasn't meant to be, then they didn't need to force it. Despite the existence of arranged marriages and choosing partners based on status, many wanted the freedom to fall in love with whomever they chose. This was also why Love God Neil had so much power. While war was occurring during a chaotic period of time, who knew what area of the world the Love God was planting apples in? The Evil God was older than the Love God by many generations, but the Love God did not know how to respect his elders. Instead, he treated him as if he was poor and deprived of love. He would often hang out with him from time to time.

The Lord War God kept making unexpected appearances the past two days. You could say that it was supervising, but the reality of it was that he had too much time on his hands. Since it was a peaceful era, the War God didn't need to use his abilities as much so he mostly slept. His sleep ended up being interrupted by the presence of the Evil God.

Since their first face to face interaction, Shang Ke was sure that he was his man. However, he felt it was uncomfortable to develop this relationship beyond companionship. There were also differences in their might and belief that their relationship was that of enemies.

There hadn't been any development, but this guy was proficient in the skill of ripping off his clothes within a second. It didn't matter what he wore, they would come off his body quickly. The only things that remained attached was the animal hide shirt and his face mask.

It was right at this moment that Shang Ke noticed Yitamo holding Tima's hand as he led her to the carriage. The two of them were animatedly talking to each other. They seemed to be getting along well.

"Neil, look at them. Don't they look good together?" Shang Ke asked Neil who was relaxing on top of a branch.

Neil lazily opened his eyes to briefly glance at the two. He answered without much interest, "They look good as friends."

Shang Ke questioned him with seriousness, "Just friends? Don't they have a pink aura around them?"

"I do see one." However, it wasn't directed to the other. Neil felt confused by this. It was normal for Tima to admire her god but why did Yitamo, who never experienced love before, have a pink aura directed towards Little Mask after the few days he spent with Tima?

Neil inspected Shang Ke.

Shang Ke made a face, '(￢︶￢)' What?

Neil thought, '.... Fine, he will admit that Little Mask had a way of attracting others with his irresistible charm.'
