I would rather betray the gods

The next day, in the Moon Palace.

Yuzu and Yuebai exchanged bad news:

The pomelo couldn't stop Xu Xiangsheng;

Yuebai then presented feedback from the Taurus Palace, stating that the font on the Sound and Color Flag was not within the database. Based on this, it could be inferred that the extraterrestrial visitors came from a planet outside the jurisdiction of the Twelve Palaces, namely, a planet in the uncivilized region of the Milky Way.

"There are countless uncivilized planets; it's like looking for a needle in a haystack—where are we supposed to find one?"

Yuebai was quite distressed, and her slightly aggrieved tone sounded like she was complaining. Taurus, being a large and fearless person, didn't care much about her little Earth.

"Is it because you've overstepped your bounds too much? Which King Kai governs Earth under the Taurus Palace? Why don't you ask King Kai for help?"

Yuzu offered a thoughtful reminder.

"Because Your Highness was born on Earth, Earth was long ago designated as a directly governed territory, with only the Taurus Palace at the top."

Both sides are top tycoons, so how could Yuebai, a nobody, possibly criticize either of them?

Hearing this, Youzi really felt bad, since Yuebai's grievances and helplessness were partly due to him.

Although it wasn't intentional, he was still a little flustered, because he couldn't stand seeing girls sad.

So he took out his phone to contact his own divine palace's backstage. What the Taurus palace couldn't handle, the Pisces palace would take care of—let them overstep their authority!

As luck would have it, when he unlocked his screen, he received a picture from Lao Xu.

He had almost forgotten about this unkempt, smelly Taoist priest.

The picture shows an exquisite red robe, and the text below the picture says that this robe is called the Zhenwu Red Robe.

[So I know it's a family heirloom, right!] Yuzu had no time to say that, so she replied hastily and continued searching for Pisces friends on her phone.

【…】

Old Xu sent another string of text, a jumbled mess with punctuation errors and a few typos.

It seems that Lao Xu wanted to send a voice message but mistakenly clicked on the "microphone to text" function in the input method interface.

Ok? ? ?

At first glance, Yuzi seemed to understand, but soon she turned into a golden light and disappeared.

Yuebai turned to look at the vanished pomelo, without much reaction. After all, in the eyes of the gods, such a departure was equivalent to turning around and leaving in the eyes of the mortals.

The scene reflected that even a minor deity like her could be respected or not.

She turned around, rested her chin on her hands, and casually instructed the servant to make her a cup of coffee.

Outside the window was the long-necked dragon she had raised, rubbing its head against the water through the glass, like the only companion in the world who knew and understood her.

After drinking coffee, Yuebai felt much better, so she picked up her tablet to look at the major events happening around the world today.

"What's going on? You hit me today, I'll hit you tomorrow. If I'm not happy one day, I'll just switch to another version."

She muttered to herself, annoyed, as she watched a news report about the conflict in the Middle East.

She wasn't bragging; she has both the ability and the authority.

To her, the development of Earth's civilization was nothing more than a three-dimensional role-playing game. Starting over was easy, but catching up with the progress of the other "players" was extremely difficult. Who would want to stay in the beginner's village forever? So she would never do that easily.

"Where does a young lady like you get such a temper? Let me tell you, my family is all on Earth!"

A flash of golden light and the pomelo reappeared.

"Just said in anger, Your Highness, please don't take it seriously... Oh, Your Highness, who are you?"

Yuebai looked at Youzi, who had changed her clothes, with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't he cool!"

The pomelo spreads its arms and spins around in place.

He told Yuebai that this crimson robe was passed down from Master Xu. Master Xu said that the time was right for the divination they had made last time, and he could reveal the answer by wearing this robe.

"This old man Xu, he made excuses when you looked for him, but now that you've forgotten about him, he's revealing the secret to you."

Yuebai, overjoyed at the sudden turn of events, stood up.

The answer was in the way she looked at Youzi from head to toe. Youzi looked very handsome in the red robe, but he lacked a little bit of presence, so he wasn't the kind of handsome that won her heart. She would give him an 85 out of 100!

Then Yuzu looked at Yuebai with a serious expression, and Yuebai also became serious in tacit agreement.

The two nodded to each other and then vanished in a flash of gold and silver light.

It's worth mentioning that the pomelo's golden light also emitted a faint red tail, which is inextricably linked to his red robe...

Over a certain uninhabited area.

Yuzu looked down through the thin, gossamer-like clouds. "This should be it. The terrain is very similar to what Lao Xu described."

Yuebai looked down as if she had a sudden realization, and couldn't help but admire Lao Xu, who was truly a dragon among men and a mudfish among men.

But she quickly shifted her gaze to the pomelo, frowning as she asked, "Is Your Highness feeling unwell? You're covered in sweat and trembling."

"It's only natural for a mortal's body to feel a little uncomfortable from all the ups and downs."

Yuzu pressed one hand against her forehead and the other hand against her thigh.

"Are you dizzy from heights?!" Yuebai's gaze suddenly turned suspicious.

"What a joke! Dizziness about heights stems from humans' fear of falling. I can travel through the stars, why would I be afraid of falling!"

Yuzu shook her head, not wanting to explain any further. She was annoyed by their mindset of looking down on people without considering reality.

"Oh my god~ Your Highness, the airflow behind you is collapsing, be careful not to fall."

Yuebai hopped a step to the side, his face clearly recognizable.

"Uh... huh?"

Upon receiving the psychological suggestion, Yuzu felt a jolt throughout her body, suddenly realizing that she had stepped into thin air, and fell straight down with a choked voice.

"You said you don't get dizzy from heights."

Yuebai looked down with disdain.

As Yuzu fell, she wondered if Yuebai would really ignore her, until her body scraped against the branches and leaves at the top of the tree and she realized that Yuebai really didn't care.

Fortunately, after a brief period of extreme fear, he gradually calmed down and managed to save himself just before his head hit the ground first.

With a "whoosh," it wasn't a sound but a vibration that transcended matter, a counterforce transformed from stellar energy spreading out around him.

Because of the red robe, the shockwave turned into a visible light red color.

Wherever the "qi" passes, flowers, birds, trees, and creatures emerge in abundance, but ordinary people cannot hear it.

It turned out to be a treasure!

Having regained her footing, Youzi didn't argue with Yuebai. Instead, she rolled up her sleeves and marveled at the wonder of Lao Xu's clothes.

All he could say was, no wonder everyone in the game is obsessed with equipment; it turns out it's the same in real life. Hehehe~

Just as they were marveling at this, a powerful pressure swept over them, followed closely by a figure that moved nimbly from side to side, approaching with lightning speed.

The moment the figure froze, the true face of Mount Lu gradually became clear; it was Xu Xiangsheng.

Xu Xiangsheng looked Youzi up and down in his red robe, stroked his beard, and said, "I thought you were a fellow cultivator, but it turns out you're just an Earthling wearing a red robe."

"I miss you dearly after just one day apart, Xu Xiangsheng."

Yu Zi then realized Lao Xu's intention: this red robe could emit a certain aura that would interest Xu Xiangsheng.

He increasingly felt that this Old Xu was not as simple as a master, but simply a mere bystander looking down at the stars!

Xu Xiangsheng, whose name was called, looked slightly surprised. He studied Youzi's face for a while before realizing, "It's you!"

The essence of "important people are forgetful" is that they think too highly of themselves and don't care about the people and things around them. If this continues for another three to five days, you probably won't even remember who I am.

Yuzu joked.

As he said, Xu Xiangsheng was not only forgetful of important people, but also not very interested in ordinary people and things. When he saw him, he turned around and was about to leave, not wanting to say another word.

"You think you can leave? You have no choice!"

As he spoke, Yuzu immediately activated demigod mode.

He thought, surely this model won't be overturned like last time.

To his surprise, this method attracted Xu Xiangsheng's attention without him having to put in any effort.

Xu Xiangsheng suddenly turned his head, seemingly lost in thought, "Red clothes, long hair... that blurry figure in the Grand Elder's dream, perhaps it wasn't a woman."

"What dream about women? You're not leaving today!"

Yuzu pointed straight ahead, assuming a fighting stance.

"Not only will I not leave, but I will also take your life, 'woman in red' from the dream."

Xu Xiangsheng smiled and stared intently. As he spoke, a whirlwind of battle aura suddenly erupted from his body, spreading outwards.

So... I'm the 'woman in red' that L is looking for?

Thinking of the red robe she wore and her long hair in her demigod state, Yuzu seemed to understand something.

Old Xu, you're quite the gossipmonger! He secretly marveled.
