Goodness, the air I was holding in instantly reached my lungs.

You bastard, of all people to blackmail, you come here to bully my golden, fragrant darling Lila. You're just overestimating yourself.

However, since that's the case, you will become the first soul to perish under my sword after I begin my cultivation.

"Go, Kumaru, take them down!"

"Roar!"

At my command, Kumaru immediately let out a loud roar and began preparing to attack.

Then, it immediately increased its speed, carrying me along with it, and charged madly towards the demon king and its two lieutenants.

Of course, at this moment, I took advantage of Kumaru's speed to unleash a powerful attack.

At that moment, without saying a word, I placed my hand on the Aurora Blade at my waist and gathered a radiant light on it.

Just as I was about to throw myself at the Demon King's lieutenant on the far right, I jumped directly off Kumaru.

At the same time, I also unleashed my Wings of Light, and just as the demon king turned its head, I slashed at it.

Then the demon king's head split directly in two from its body, and the entire head fell to the ground like a ball, rolling a long distance.

Of course, I also kicked the demon king's body away, then grabbed Lila's arm and carried her in a princess carry in mid-air.

"Damn it...how could this happen..."

The demon king seemed somewhat resentful that I had killed him in one blow. Then, with his bloodshot eyes glaring at me, he slowly rolled his eyes back and died.

Honestly, Kumaru's strength really opened my eyes.

At this moment, Kumaru had already rushed to the side of the Demon King's lieutenant, and the lieutenant's face instantly turned ashen; he couldn't dodge at all...

Immediately afterwards, Kumaru stretched out its snow-white bear paw, which was bigger than its head, raised it high, and then slammed it down on its head.

In an instant, the head of the Demon King's lieutenant was also slapped off.

The blood gushed out like a bursting fountain, directly from the severed neck and head.

The Demon King's lieutenant died on the spot.

I could hardly bear to look at its bloody, mangled, and grotesque face.

Soon, the two corpses turned into countless black ash, which then began to scatter in all directions with the surrounding wind.

The other adjutant of the Demon King's army, now the only one still alive, turned ashen-faced with fear and scrambled to his death to run away.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Then he shouted at the top of his lungs.

And just like that, the struggle between the Demon King's army and the Gray Wolf God clan, which was perhaps thought to be going to continue for a long time, was ended instantly by the intervention of Xiongmaru and me.

At this moment, the little beauty in my arms seemed to freeze. She stared at me with wide eyes, looking at me with some fear.

"Huh? What's wrong, Lila? Is there something on my face?"

Seeing her expression, I asked her with a puzzled look.

"Who...who are you?"

In an instant, Lila seemed to not recognize me anymore and began to struggle desperately in my arms.

Then, just a hair's breadth away, I was thrown to the ground.

"Hey, Lila, what are you doing?"

Seriously, I don't know where Lila got such strength from. If I hadn't recently made great progress in my training, I would have been dragged to the ground and fallen flat on my face.

"This……"

At this moment, the Grey Wolf God and the Goddess Emmafit slowly walked towards me, their faces showing expressions of astonishment.

Does this mean my appearance has changed?

Why are you all looking at me like that?

"Could it be that you are the legendary goddess, Her Highness Goddess Shidone? Thank you for traveling all the way from the northernmost reaches to save my people from this crisis."

As she spoke, the goddess Emma Fitti bowed slowly to me.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I... I'm Ivy, don't you recognize me?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that I've become so different that even they don't recognize me anymore...?

"Hmm? Ivy?"

Upon hearing this, Lila got up from the ground and carefully moved closer to me... and then carefully observed me.

"Uh...doesn't it look like it?"

"It's somewhat similar, but not quite..."

At this moment, Lila actually made this assertion.

"However... you now have the appearance and scent of a goddess... you are indeed completely different from the previous Ivy."

At this moment, the Gray Wolf God couldn't help but frown and then said.

"However... she still has a bit of a princess vibe."

As I was speaking, Little White darted out from behind the Gray Wolf God, grabbed my arm, and started wagging its tail.

It seems that Xiaobai's sense of smell is more acute.

"Huh...? Is it really Ivy?! Is it really Ivy?!?"

At this moment, Lila's eyes widened again, and she asked me incredulously.

"You idiot Lila, who else could it be but me... Honestly, it's only been a month, how come you don't recognize me anymore?!"

At this point, I was still a little angry because it had only been a month. How much could I have changed in such a short time?

Moreover, although I have only been recuperating for half a month and cultivating with the White Snow Serpent God for half a month, it feels like I haven't been seen for a long time.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, because I did remember that it was only a month, how did it become more than a year?

"Um... Ivy, a month? Are you out of your mind? You've been gone for over a year! How could it only be a month!"

At this moment, Lila's already wide eyes widened even more.

It felt like I was dreaming... It was really strange.

Chapter Three: The Troubles of Countless Mysteries

"What? How could it have been a year already...?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide, utterly astonished.

As far as I can remember, I've only stayed at my mother's house, the goddess Shido-nei's, for a maximum of one month...

Wait a minute, I suddenly realized that during the time I was injured, I did feel like I was sleeping for an exceptionally long time every day. Could it be that... I was basically sleeping for more than half a year?

If that's really the case, then I've been wallowing in despair for far too long!

"Honestly, I've suffered so much this past year. I've been woken up very early every day for training, and I can only sleep in once a week anymore. Ugh..."

At this moment, Lila couldn't help but lower her big golden head.

"But... Lira, you're an adult now... so how come you look exactly the same as when I first met you? Pfft..."

That instantly made me laugh.

"What?! Ivy, how dare you laugh at me?!"

In an instant, Lila's arrogant and fiery temper flared up, and she straightened her cute golden ahoge (cowlick) out completely.

At this moment, Lila's mouth was making a series of loud, machine-gun-like noises, with her arrogant words coming one after another.

However, even so, I haven't seen Lila for a long time, and I feel a strange sense of closeness to her.

Of course, I haven't taken any of Lila's nutrients in a long time, so I definitely need to take good care of myself tonight.

"Seriously, are you even listening to me?!"

"Yeah, I heard that."

As I spoke, I hugged Lila's big golden head and gently stroked her soft, long curly hair.

Instantly, the natural fragrance of Lila wafted into my nose; that long-lost scent truly made me feel incredibly happy.

"Well……"

My action was as if I had gagged her, and then everything came to a complete stop.

“It is true, it was indeed I who sent Your Highness Ivy to the northernmost point to find that reclusive goddess. Who knew that just a week after you went there, I sent my men to look for you again, but the northernmost barrier seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and simply disappeared.”

"Disappeared?"

Upon hearing the words of the Grey Wolf God, my hand, which had been stroking Lila's head, instantly stopped.

Speaking of which, isn't it possible for anyone to enter this barrier? How could it just disappear?

"We spent more than half a year sending out many batches of our people and gray wolves to search for your whereabouts, but unfortunately we all returned empty-handed. What should have been the northernmost point is now just a desolate forest with practically nothing left."

"But I did encounter a barrier back then, and I was even pushed (kicked) into it by something."
