What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"what's up?"

“You are no longer human. You can keep your feelings and live your life as before, but you need to think about certain issues from a different perspective.”

"What angle?"

"From the perspective of a deity, or, of course, from the perspective of a human leader if you're interested."

"……I?"

"Yes, don't ask why you're in this position, just because you're sitting in mine, and more importantly, I believe you have the will."

"You think I have?"

"You don't need to be angry, and you don't need to think that this is the parents arranging homework for their children. I'm just objectively describing a fact."

"But I think you have another meaning behind it."

"Ok?"

"You just want to use the title of human leader to get me to let you go, because your existence is the greatest threat to the human world."

Gu Yuqiu fell silent.

At some point, Lin Mushi stopped and quietly looked at the girl in his arms.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly laughed and said, "I really don't know what's going on."

Lin Mushi raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What does that mean?"

"You're supposed to be smart, but you always seem to do stupid things."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "Just when I thought you were really stupid, you suddenly became smart again. What does this mean?"

"I can be stupid about other things..."

Lin Mushi looked into her eyes and said, word by word, "But this is an exception, because I don't want you to leave."

……

……

The real world.

Shen Muchan opened her eyes, stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for a while, and gradually regained her senses before realizing that she was lying on a sofa.

She struggled to lift the thin blanket, sat up, and saw another person in the room.

That person was Su Yan.

She looked at this person she didn't particularly like, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Where is Gu Yuqiu?"

Su Yan said, "Alive."

Shen Muchan was puzzled by her cold tone and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

Su Yan did not answer the question.

Shen Muchan was slightly taken aback.

After a moment, she finally understood, looked at Su Yan with a complicated expression, and sighed, "In the end, it turned out like this."

Su Yan glanced at her and said, "You seem quite disappointed?"

"Ah."

Shen Muchan did not deny it. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Maybe it's because I can't stand this kind of instant success. After all, I've been stuck in the same place for a long time."

In the twenty-three years since the spiritual energy revival began, before the emergence of Nostalgia, Stardew was universally recognized as having the greatest talent, and she was the second most talented.

However, even when there were already seven peak fifth-tier experts in the world, almost godlike powerhouses, she still couldn't advance any further.

Years ago, a big reason she missed that battle was that she could no longer stand being overtaken by others.

She's come to terms with things much better now and doesn't care as much anymore, though she still feels a little bittersweet.

She looked at Su Yan and wondered, "Can you really take it all in stride?"

"Fortunately."

Su Yan said calmly, "But this is something that was destined to happen, and there's no point in complaining."

Hearing this, Shen Muchan couldn't help but ask that question.

"Now that she's with Lin Mushi, how can you still not care?"

Su Yan remained silent for a long time before asking, "Do you want to die?"

Shen Muchan certainly didn't want to die.

Because she knew that Su Yan was in a bad mood and might actually kill someone, she regretted her sharp tongue.

But how do you change the subject at this point?

She thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with a suitable reason, so she could only remain silent and pretend to be dead.

The room was completely quiet.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window.

"What's your relationship with Lin Mushi?" Su Yan suddenly asked.

"what?"

Shen Muchan was somewhat surprised and said, "I'm wanted by the Special Affairs Bureau, and Lin Mushi works for the Special Affairs Bureau. How could we possibly have a good relationship?"

Su Yan said, "My relationship with her isn't good either."

Shen Muchan became serious, knowing that the following conversation would be very important, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Of course, it's not about dealing with her."

Su Yan stood up and walked towards the coffee machine, saying, "I just want to clarify how we should treat her; it's very important."

"Give me a drink too."

Shen Muchan watched her retreating figure and asked, puzzled, "Why do you want to discuss this with me?"

Su Yan didn't turn around, and said softly, "Because you made the same decision as me."

Xin Chu once experienced a storm.

During that storm, Lin Mushi was seriously injured and nearly died.

—If Gu Yuqiu hadn't been the one to descend and protect him at all costs, the Pope's plan on Christmas Eve might have already come true.

The storm began with the two of them.

From this perspective, they naturally share a common stance on the issue of Lin Mushi.

"Different."

Shen Muchan shook her head slightly and said, "I was just saying that. If you really do it, no matter how much Lin Mushi holds a grudge, you'll be the one standing in front of me in the end."

Su Yan remained expressionless and reminded her, "You are an insignificant person right now."

Shen Muchan remained silent.

That's the truth. Although she stood on Gu Yuqiu's side today and paid a huge price, she was fully entitled to take credit... but she was ultimately an outsider.

"I trust Gu Yuqiu in this matter."

She looked at Su Yan, shook her head and said, "Don't say things like that anymore. Let's get serious and get to the point."

Su Yan gave her an appreciative look and said, "If you can't think of that, then there's no need for me to continue talking to you."

Shen Muchan said seriously, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not an innocent little girl like Lin Mushi. I don't need your praise."

Su Yan smiled and said nothing about it, instead revealing her true purpose.

I want her to leave.

"she?"

Shen Muchan wasn't quite sure who "she" was referring to in that sentence.

Because whether this is interpreted as Gu Yuqiu or Lin Mushi, there are sufficient reasons to accept it.

Su Yan said, "It's Gu Yuqiu."

Shen Muchan was stunned, and asked with a blank expression, "Why is that?"

Su Yan didn't want to explain, so she didn't answer the question and said, "Lin Mushi is still young and easily makes mistakes. We should think about letting her stay."

Shen Muchan thought to herself, "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking why you want Gu Yuqiu to leave."

Don't you want the person you like to be taken by someone else?

This is a very normal emotion; everyone would think this way, and there's nothing wrong with that.

She could understand, therefore she didn't understand why Su Yan avoided talking about it.

Shen Muchan was even more puzzled, but she didn't ask.

Su Yan, carrying two cups of coffee, returned to the sofa and placed them on the table, interrupting her thoughts.

"It's a bit bitter."

"fine."

"Ok?"

"It is indeed quite bitter."

Shen Muchan frowned at the bitter taste and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Why didn't you put any sugar or milk in it?"

Su Yan took a sip of coffee, savoring its flavor, and said, "Because this is how I see the relationship between her and me."

Shen Muchan was taken aback, wondering how the conversation had veered off to this point again.

Su Yan said softly, "It is precisely because this cup of coffee is bitter that the aftertaste is so memorable, and I believe that is the truly wonderful taste."

She paused, then continued, "If sugar and milk were added to this coffee later, it would certainly taste better, but would it still be the kind of coffee I like?"

Shen Muchan understood.

Sugar and milk are, in fact, all people.

Gu Yuqiu is the best at making coffee.
