Type-Moon Demon King exploded Elle's gold coins at the beginning!

Upon hearing this, Ishtar's expression crumbled, and she instantly lost her composure.

She had originally held onto a sliver of hope that once she was out and her divine power was restored, her golden hair would naturally return.

Li Lin's words almost brought her to tears.

"Waaah, please, kind stranger, you can spot my problem at a glance, you must have a way to solve it, right?"

"Please, can you really bear to see such a lovely girl being pointed at and gossiped about whenever she goes out?"

Finally, Ishtar unleashed the ultimate attack of the goddess of beauty.

That is, acting cute and crying.

She grabbed Li Lin's left arm and began to sway back and forth, tears streaming down her face.

Upon hearing this, Li Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I was thinking to myself, 'I won't.'

But considering that the goddess in front of him was very vengeful, he still sighed and said.

"Even if you beg me like this, it's no use. The evidence is already there; it's too late to say anything now. But..."

Li Lin paused for a moment, then continued, seeing Ishtar's anxious expression, which revealed her adorable little tiger teeth.

"However, you can cover up the aura. But in the future, when you go out, you'd better think of an excuse to explain to others why you changed your hair to black."

"Hmm~..."

"Although we haven't been able to completely solve it, this is the best we can do."

Ishtar pouted and sat down on the ground, looking dejected.

She looked up at the sky; night had fallen in the forest.

Li Lin gathered some branches around him and used them as firewood to start a campfire in front of Ishtar.

The orange-red firelight shone on the goddess's face, and the warmth dispelled the chill of the night.

Ishtar knelt beside the campfire, arms crossed over her chest.

Her fair face no longer held its former arrogance and condescension, but instead possessed a delicate cuteness and fragility.

Seeing this scene, Li Lin was somewhat moved.

Are Ishtar and Ereshkigal truly worthy of being called twin goddesses?

As long as they keep their mouths shut and don't say anything, the two of them are almost identical.

Of course, it's a pity that Ishtar has a mouth.

The moment those arrogant words were uttered, it was clear who was who.

However, that's true.

But in reality, the other person was quite different from the Ishtar he had imagined.

Li Lin is a time traveler.

His understanding of mythology came almost entirely from his previous life.

In her previous life, Ishtar didn't have a good reputation, both in official mythology and in fan-made game content.

That's why, when Li Lin saw that the identity she was simulating was Ishtar's runaway husband, she felt she never wanted to see him again.

However, it now seems that such a view is still too one-sided.

Ishtar remains the same arrogant goddess.

But compared to the silversmith he knew in his previous life, the Ishtar before him was far, far more innocent.

Take, for example, the fact that in order to find him, the runaway bride, the other party did not hesitate to break into the cedar forest to steal the gods' treasures.

That's enough for Li Lin to call her a "beautiful girl".

PS.......

In fact, even in mainstream mythology, the early Ishtar wasn't a bad person. She was very devoted to love.

However, things changed after being forced by Utu.

Chapter 15, You idiot Ishtar, why are you blushing like a teapot?

【Fenbaba】

A powerful mythical beast in Sumerian mythology that guards the cedar forests and the golden city.

In mythology, Gilgamesh, the former golden king, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat the moment he saw it.

If it weren't for Enkidu's encouragement, the proud king would probably have been the first to succumb.

However, despite overcoming her fear, Humbaba's strength still stands at the pinnacle of the Fantasy species!

Not only does it possess power comparable to that of the gods, but when combined with the seven powers bestowed upon it by the God-King, it can unleash an extremely overpowered ability in this cedar forest.

For example, exercising the judgmental power of [Utu, the God of Law] to temporarily strip Ishtar of her divinity is a special ability bestowed upon the guardians of the Golden City by the gods.

So at this very moment...

The next morning, faced with the sudden attack of the guardian beast Humbaba, Li Lin didn't hesitate and grabbed the still fast asleep Ishtar and started running away.

joke.

Although Humbaba is not the most powerful mythical beast, it cannot compare to the Bull of the Sky, a weapon of war that has obtained the power of the three creator gods.

But they are, after all, privileged dogs in this region.

Li Lin didn't want to accidentally cause a disaster.

“Nieludayo~~”

Li Lin ran incredibly fast, his body disappearing in a flash like an arrow released from a bow.

But such speed was a real pain for Ishtar, who had just woken up and still had a bit of drool on her lips.

"Hey hey hey?! What's going on?! Why are you running?!"

Faced with this unexpected situation, Ishtar, who was being carried on his shoulder, shouted in bewilderment.

She covered her mouth with both hands, feeling as if her waist and stomach were about to be shaken to pieces.

Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer, and the violent jolting made her vomit.

Ugh~

And so, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Li Lin ran ahead, leaving a trail of colorful rainbows behind him...

Well, the ancients were right! The stuff the beautiful girl vomited was rainbow-shaped, hilarious...

.....

After a long while, Li Lin stopped in a dense forest.

It wasn't that he didn't want to run anymore, but that if he ran any further, Ishtar would kick the bucket.

At this moment, Ishtar's entire body turned ashen, as if she had lost her soul, and a transparent mochi was emerging from her mouth...

Seeing this, Li Lin slapped her soft little bottom hard...

shoot--

A crisp sound rang out in the quiet, dense forest...

Visibly, a ripple spread across Ishtar's little bottom like water.

"Huh?! What are you doing?!"

Ishtar covered her buttocks, glaring at Li Lin with a face full of shame and indignation.

"I didn't do anything, just woke you up."

Li Lin shrugged, indicating that he was only doing it for her own good.

"Wake me up? It's all because you picked me up and carried me on your shoulders without saying a word."

"You know I'm a goddess, a goddess, you know that? Can't you be a little gentler?!"

Ishtar was almost laughing in exasperation.

How could she, a proud daughter of heaven, have ever suffered such humiliation?

If she hadn't lost all her divinity, she would definitely have taught Li Lin a lesson.

"Okay, the situation was urgent at the time. It was early in the morning, and Humbaba caught up with me using his Fear Aura. I had no choice."

"Hmm, couldn't you have woken me up a little more gently?"

Upon hearing this, Ishtar pouted, still somewhat indignant.

"Oh, so you want me to just leave you here and ignore you?"

Li Lin raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

"Or is this how the goddess of heaven treats her savior?"

“You know, I was fully capable of handing you over to Finbaba back then. That way, I could have severed all ties and left on my own. After all, it was you who committed the crime, not me. If I wanted to leave, it couldn’t stop me.”

"But I didn't do that. Instead, I chose to take you with me."

"Well, now you're turning around and saying I'm wrong."

After saying that, Li Lin spread his hands, looking disappointed.

Upon hearing this, Ishtar opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to be true.

Finally, her face flushed red, and she turned her head away with a hint of arrogance, then muttered something under her breath.

"Hmph, you always think you're right, but this goddess is suffering too, okay?"

...

Hehe, you've got it figured out.

Looking at Ishtar's arrogant expression, Li Lin slowly curled up a smile.

Actually, he said those things on purpose.

The reason was to test Ishtar's reaction.

As he expected, the Ishtar before him was completely different from the one he had learned about in mythology in his previous life.

At least the logic is sound, and her arrogant demeanor is quite cute.

"Speaking of which, are you sure you failed in the theft? Or that you actually got something but hid it from me?"

Suddenly, Li Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at Ishtar.

“I found it strange from the very beginning. If you really didn’t take anything, at most Finbaba would have just kicked you out. Why would he keep you trapped here and not let you leave?”

Li Lin crossed his arms, a scrutinizing look flashing in his eyes.

"Tell me, what exactly did you take from others? If we return it now, we might still have a chance to survive."

Upon hearing this, Ishtar turned her head away and looked elsewhere, her expression extremely unnatural as she spoke.

"I...I don't understand what you're saying."

"Can't understand?"

Li Lin raised an eyebrow and immediately lunged forward.

He cornered Ishtar in front of a large tree, then reached out and grabbed her chin, forcibly turning her face towards him, and said...

Do you think I'm easy to fool?

"Fenbaba is just keeping us trapped here without attacking, which is obviously because he's holding something back."

"If we disregard the fact that our divine status makes them hesitant to act, then the only remaining reason is that you took something from them, which is why they won't let you leave."

"Tell me, you idiot goddess, what exactly did you take from her?"

"........."
