What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

The two walked through the vast courtyard, crossed several wooden bridges, and stopped under a pavilion for listening to the rain. Standing by the railing, they looked at the silent melting snow on the lake and at each other's reflections, without saying a word.

Su Yan, who has always been straightforward, said, "Can we talk now?"

"Ah."

Gu Yuqiu took a sip of the still-hot coffee and said slowly, "Leaving this world and returning to the place where I first came from in my memories was my idea after I became a god. At that time, I deduced the possible consequences of this and came to three conclusions."

Su Yan asked, "Are they all broken?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "Pretty much. One of them is good, but I don't think it makes any sense."

"Let's agree on this first," Su Yan said softly.

"This is what I think is good, but it doesn't mean you agree."

Gu Yuqiu's lips curled slightly, revealing a complex smile, and she said, "The universe is too vast. For gods, interstellar travel is a very difficult thing to achieve. When humanity develops to a certain level..."

Su Yan interrupted her, asking coldly, "Invasion?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Mm."

Su Yan remained silent.

When she heard the word "universe," she had a guess, but even after it was confirmed, she was still unhappy, feeling that things were particularly troublesome.

However, the prerequisite for aggression is an imbalance of power between the two worlds.

"In my memory, it was a very ordinary, mundane world, without any miracles."

Gu Yuqiu, reminiscing about her past, said nostalgically, "Actually, apart from the extraordinary powers, there isn't much difference between there and here."

Su Yan suddenly said, "So you think you're too strong and just want to live a normal life?"

"I'm not that dramatic."

Gu Yuqiu looked at her and said, "I told you before, and I repeated it last night, that everything I do is just to live a more interesting life."

Su Yan was quiet for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you went back and lost all your powers, becoming just an ordinary person?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuqiu was somewhat surprised and said, "Of course I've thought about it, but that's almost impossible. At most, it would just make me weaker."

Su Yan then asked, "What's the bad conclusion?"

"The extraordinary power of this world has weakened, and the waters of that void ocean flow through the path I have opened up to the world I am going to."

Gu Yuqiu said, "If this happens, it means that the passage between the two worlds cannot be closed."

Su Yan frowned slightly and said, "And then there will be an extraordinary resurgence over there?"

"Ah."

Gu Yuqiu stretched and yawned, saying nonchalantly, "But this is just a trivial matter for you and me."

Su Yan's expression turned slightly cold as she looked at her and said, "If this were to happen, you would be a sinner in this world, and everyone who no longer wants you to leave would come out to oppose you."

Gu Yuqiu did not deny this statement.

Since she was willing to speak out, it meant she chose to believe Su Yan and didn't feel that she had been betrayed.

More importantly, she was ultimately a stranger in a foreign land, with no feelings for this world, so how could she possibly care?

"I find it hard to understand where your confidence comes from."

Su Yan looked into her eyes and said, word by word, "You trust me that much?"

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you moved?"

"It's hard to be moved."

Su Yan stared at her coldly, expressionless, and said, "I just feel that you treat everything as a game, and everyone is your plaything..."

"This needs to be made clear."

Gu Yuqiu interrupted him, saying seriously, "You are not, Lin Mushi is not, Songtang is not... Shen Muchan should not be either."

Su Yan no longer believed her. She glanced at her and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. What's your final conclusion?"

Gu Yuqiu fell silent.

The wind and snow intensified, turning the world into a pristine white.

It was already late winter, and the chill seemed to be dissipating before spring. A sobbing sound gradually came from the air, the traces left by the wind.

Ripples appeared on the lake's surface, and it was no longer calm.

Su Yan looked at the silent Gu Yuqiu and waited for a long time. Then, feeling annoyed by the sound of wind and snow, she glanced at him casually.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped.

The courtyard is picturesque, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the lake.

Like a mirror, it reflects the dim light of the sky, creating a melancholic and beautiful feeling.

Looking at these images, Gu Yuqiu finally came to her third conclusion.

"This is the least likely scenario, the one with the lowest probability."

She looked at the seemingly unbreakable ice and said, "When two worlds meet, they merge into one, becoming one, but this is a very long process."

Su Yan was stunned.

The long silence earlier made her realize that the third conclusion Gu Yuqiu had deduced must be something extremely troublesome.

No matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't have imagined it would be like this.

"Just like you."

Gu Yuqiu left the Listening to the Rain Pavilion, walked to the lakeside by the pavilion, squatted down on a moss-covered stone, and poked at the thin layer of ice with her fingertips.

The sound of ice breaking came, followed by her voice: "This is also the possibility I least want to see."

Su Yan said, "But this won't change because of your will. Besides, you're a selfish person and won't give up your decision because of these things."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Su Yan was a little annoyed. She walked over to her and, seeing her playing in the water, asked, "Is there anything else important?"

"It's gone."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "I have already told you everything I need to tell you. The rest are my private matters and have little to do with you."

As soon as the words were spoken, a deep red voice rang out behind the two of them.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

She watched Gu Yuqiu's retreating figure and said with a self-deprecating smile, "After all, the whole world already knows that I belong to you."

The hidden meaning in this sentence is quite obvious, but it's unclear whether it's meant to provoke Gu Yuqiu or to provoke Su Yan.

However, what bored her was that neither of them reacted at all, as if they couldn't understand the deeper meaning in her words and only understood the surface meaning.

She was very angry, but more than that, she couldn't understand why Su Yan could be so calm, since Gu Yuqiu always knew how to play dead.

Su Yan seemed to guess what she was thinking, turned around, looked at her, and asked, "Do you want to know why I don't care?"

Shen Muchan nodded readily, her eyes full of curiosity.

"It's very simple."

Su Yan shifted her gaze from her youthful and pretty face to her chest, looking at the flat chest, and said sincerely, "Because your chest is flat."

Chapter 185: A Few Words

I've been feeling really bad these past few days and can't write. I don't know if it's because of real-life issues or something else.

I didn't want to say anything, but the thought of not updating continuously without saying a word is indeed a very irresponsible thing to do.

Last year, I also went a long break from updating without saying a word, and at the time I had a perfectly valid reason to play the victim, but ultimately it was my own business, and there was no reason for me to tell the readers about my unhappiness.

Therefore, I feel even more strongly that if I'm not going to update, I should make it clear to the readers.

As for the other reason for the hiatus, it's that I haven't figured out how to properly wrap up this book yet.

It's better not to update at all than to update meaninglessly.

I'm very sorry.

I hope you're in a better mood than I am.

Chapter 186: Sunrise (Chapter Thirty-Three)

Shen Muchan was not angry upon hearing this answer.

She thought the words were childish, pursed her lips, and the curiosity in her eyes disappeared completely. She looked at Gu Yuqiu, who still had his back to her, and said, "Whether I am your person or not, I have something to tell you."

Gu Yuqiu still didn't turn around.

The snowstorm had just stopped, the clouds had not yet dispersed, and the sky was still dim.

She gently poked at the thin ice on the lake surface, still playing with it, and asked softly, "Do you want to talk to me alone?"

Shen Muchan glanced at Su Yan, thought for a moment, and said, "This person is too jealous. I don't want to offend her, so let's just say it here."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's expression remained indifferent, and she did not argue. Instead, she reached out and touched the girl's black hair, her eyes filled with tenderness, as if she were looking at a mischievous little girl.

In the eyes of the world, she was such a gentle person.

Although those who truly knew her powerful presence understood that this was merely a facade, a false persona she had intentionally created years ago when she was active in various news reports.

Yet today, many years later, when she picks up these old things again, it still feels so natural, and everything is just right.

Songtang, perched atop Shen Muchan's head, observed this scene with some surprise.

It stared wide-eyed at its vehicle, its head patted by Su Yan, which filled it with anger and frustration. It tried to shake its head to get rid of the hand, but it couldn't manage it, its cheeks puffed up with rage.

At this point, Shen Muchan really did have some of the cuteness of a young girl.

"Let go of me!"

Shen Muchan got anxious, grabbed Su Yan's right arm with both hands, and said angrily, "Otherwise, when I reach the peak of the fifth rank, I'll make sure you won't have time to talk about love anymore."

Su Yan smiled and said, "I don't care about romance."

Shen Muchan couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Gu Yuqiu's nose, and said, "Then what is she?"
