"No! Don't bully Boss Ye!" Zhong Mu barked wildly, but the little tentacle ball had already decisively hung up the communicator to go help her boyfriend.
The information from both ends was incomplete, leading to a chaotic understanding and leaving Zhong Mu anxiously waiting.
The little tentacle dumpling bravely broke through the door, determined to help her boyfriend, but was kicked out by Li Mo's main body, who then slammed the door shut.
"What's that sound?" Lying on the bed, Yin Xiu lifted his blindfold and looked out in confusion, but saw nothing.
"It's nothing." Li Mo smiled and shook his head, locking the door to prevent the little tentacle ball guarding the door from squeezing in and getting in the way again.
"I feel so weak..." Ye Tianxuan lay weakly on the chair, muttering to himself, "Why can I, the one whose lifespan was taken, only lie on a chair, while the one who received lifespan can lie in bed and recover his energy?"
"Because I favor my boyfriend," Li Mo replied matter-of-factly.
Ye Tianxuan gritted his teeth and maintained his smile, "Okay, okay."
Then he got up and said, "I won't disturb you two young lovers anymore. I'll go find a room to sleep myself."
As Ye Tianxuan pushed open the door, he stepped on the little tentacle ball that was right next to the door. The little tentacle ball twisted and struggled, trying to crawl inside, but the door behind him was slammed shut by Li Mo, giving it no chance to get in.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Tianxuan lifted his foot, saw a footprint on the dark ground, and quickly squatted down to wipe it clean.
"I came to help my boyfriend kill—uh…" The little tentacle ball looked at Ye Tianxuan, who had walked out unharmed, with a confused expression, "to kill you…"
"Why would you kill me?" Ye Tianxuan tilted his head in confusion, rubbed the little tentacle ball's head, and then disgustedly took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe his hands.
Dog lovers who adore plush toys obviously dislike this sticky and weird texture, so only Yin Xiu loves to touch and rub it.
"Help... my boyfriend kill... um..." The little tentacle ball froze and pondered. Number Two's brain wasn't very good; the brain it was assigned was tiny, only good enough to guard the door, and it was almost too slow to think.
"Never mind." Ye Tianxuan stood up and looked at the large lump at his feet. "Your boyfriend will be out after resting for a while. Wait for him at the door."
"If you really want to go in and see your boyfriend, you can go through the window."
He left after saying that, but this gave the little tentacle dumpling a lot of inspiration.
If the door gets kicked open, try the window!
It wriggled and stretched out its tiny antennae to gauge the distance between itself and the window, then began to climb up the wall, trying to squeeze through the gap in the window bars. If it could get into its boyfriend's arms fast enough, it could touch him.
The premise is that it will not be detected by the main body.
A few minutes later, Yin Xiu, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard some strange noises coming from the window. He lifted his blindfold again and saw a dark mass stuck in the crack of the window. It tried very hard to squeeze through, but its huge body, even though it was as soft as liquid, was still stuck in the crack.
I have no idea what it was thinking. It was such a big thing and it tried to squeeze through the narrow window gap. Now it's stuck in the middle, unable to move forward or backward. Its tentacles are baring their teeth and claws, and its eyes are full of innocence.
Upon meeting Yin Xiu's gaze, the little tentacle ball immediately exclaimed, "Boyfriend! I, I've come to see you!"
The next second, Li Mo got up and pushed her out, then closed the window.
"It's too noisy, my boyfriend needs some quiet rest." Li Mo smiled and turned back to the bedside, thoughtfully covering Yin Xiu's eyes with a blindfold, touching her boyfriend's cheek, and whispering, "Go out to find it when you can move a little more."
Yin Xiu being placed on the bed wasn't entirely due to Li Mo's favoritism. After being given a portion of his lifespan, Yin Xiu, who had taken a portion of Ye Tianxuan's lifespan, was still able to move, but after receiving the lifespan, he became unable to move. He felt weak all over and his consciousness was hazy.
According to the high priest, a moment of respite is needed because Yin Xiu is not a believer of the God of Longevity. His lifespan was transferred by using the power of the God of Longevity, and being from another world, he might feel a little uncomfortable.
Ye Tianxuan had already proactively shared his lifespan using the machine as a medium, so he would be more comfortable with it.
"Okay…" Yin Xiu murmured, closing his eyes.
The little tentacle ball outside the window stared with wide, resentful eyes, pressed against the glass and intently watching its boyfriend. From monitoring the outside of the door to monitoring the inside, it now wanted to know more about what had happened to its boyfriend than anything else outside.
After leaving the rest area, Ye Tianxuan saw the high priest looking out of the glass window towards the main city in the corridor.
She stood alone in the quiet corridor, facing the sunlight streaming in from the window. She had lost her girlish appearance and was slowly losing her lifespan. Her face now showed the mature look of someone around thirty years old, and even her eyebrows and eyes carried a sense of weariness from having experienced some vicissitudes.
But her face was beautiful to begin with. Even though she no longer looked like a young girl, she had simply shed her childishness and become more mature.
From that day on, Ye Tianxuan demanded that the High Priest move out of the main city, at least to stop relying on that empty tower.
So the high priest moved into the house where Ye Tianxuan had previously stored supplies, while the others returned to their previous lives after the city was at peace. Those who were supposed to move back to their own homes went back, and those who wanted to continue helping Ye Tianxuan stayed.
No one in this city talks much about the God of Immortality anymore; when they do, they only discuss God Ye.
Perhaps only the high priest in the entire city still reminisces about his past with the god of immortality.
"I'm going to gather some residents of Changsheng City to educate them about the life of a normal person. Would you like to come along?" Ye Tianxuan asked the high priest as he passed by.
The high priest turned his head, his eyes drooping, and looked at Ye Tianxuan. "Is the God of Immortality really dead?"
She stared at Ye Tianxuan and said in a leisurely low voice, "You don't need to lie to me. I will no longer rely on God."
Ye Tianxuan turned his head and glanced around, then lowered his voice thoughtfully, "I don't know either, but based on my speculation, they are most likely not dead."
The high priest silently turned to look out the window, without much shock. "Whether she is dead or not, the high priests know best. It is because I can always feel that God is still somewhere in this world that I am looking forward to her return."
"But you reminded me that God does not disappear without a reason, and a benevolent God will not abandon us unless there is great strife and death."
"The City of Immortality is on the verge of destruction, and the gods have still not appeared. It seems we have truly been abandoned."
She murmured to herself, her mind becoming much clearer after she abandoned the obsession that God would definitely return, and she could think a lot when she was alone and quiet.
The believers may be confused, but the high priests who are connected with God know God's situation best.
They were simply too reverent and respectful of God, never imagining that God had abandoned them without reason. Their obsession with God's return led to the shattering of everything around them.
"I love Changsheng City, and I don't want it to disappear." The High Priest of Changsheng City sighed softly and closed his eyes. "Now I understand, if this city is to truly exist forever, then the gods cannot exist."
"This time, the disappearance of the God of Immortality has caused unrest among the people. Next time you disappear, everyone will still be affected. The people of the city should rely on each other to live in order to survive in the long run."
Ye Tianxuan smiled with relief, "You finally figured it out. I also planned to plant this idea in their hearts before I left."
"You have relied on God for too long and have forgotten what a normal person's life should be like. You are obsessed with longevity, luck and misfortune, or something else. Those who are not like these are the normal people."
