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

What she hates most are those guys who are full of wisdom but never say anything.

You're smart, you're amazing!

If you're so tough, don't come begging to this goddess!

"Well, it's time for me to leave too."

"As for that person, you just need to tell him the truth."

Enki stood up, not intending to stay any longer. He gave Ishtar a few words of advice and then turned and left.

After Enki left, Ishtar, who was still sitting in her seat thinking, belatedly realized what had happened.

That guy, it seems, probably, maybe... hasn't paid yet?

Good grief, someone actually wants to take advantage of her for free?!

Didn't she know that she was so poor she didn't even have a penny left, and that she desperately needed a sum of money?

Thinking of this, Ishtar immediately stood up with a somersault and rushed out without a second thought.

"Damn it, you haven't paid me yet! Trying to get something for nothing? You better stop right there!!"

Chapter 35, The Girl Who Lives Towards Death

"There are fewer and fewer things to eat in the city lately, are you really planning to go out?"

At a side gate next to the city wall of Elidu, a soldier guarding the gate stopped a young girl who was about to go out alone.

"If you stay in the city, you might be able to barely survive on the King's supplies, but once you go out..."

The soldier glanced at the snow-covered world outside, and the bitterness in his eyes prevented him from finishing his sentence.

Even without being told directly, the girl understood what the other person meant.

Faced with such a vast expanse of white snow, if she insisted on going out, she might not be able to return.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your concern, but I..."

The girl pursed her chapped lips, and her tightly clenched hands proved her determination.

"Ah, okay."

Seeing this, the soldier sighed, and for reasons unknown, finally opened the gate.

Perhaps for him, one less person in the city meant one less burden, and this appropriate dissuasion was probably the greatest act of kindness in his heart at that moment.

...........

After stepping out of the city gates of Elidu, the girl clasped her hands together and silently prayed to the gods before heading straight towards the snow-covered east.

There, she vaguely remembered her mother saying that there was a forest over there.

Since the goal is to find a way to survive, going to the forest is naturally the best choice.

"God, please bless me."

The girl silently recited prayers as she braved the wind and snow, moving forward step by step.

But the road ahead seemed endless, nothing but white snow...

“Huff, huff~!”

The icy wind rushed into her lungs, making the girl feel dizzy and lightheaded. The biting cold made her hands and feet feel unresponsive.

"No, no, I can't just collapse here!"

"There must be places that haven't been covered by the snow!"

"Dad...Mom..."

The girl walked with difficulty through the snow, her vision growing increasingly blurry.

A burning flame was raging in her chest, making her feel as if she could see her parents, who were buried in the snow, and the people in the city who were waiting for her return.

"God, why...why are you doing this to us..."

The girl fell to the ground, but in her last moments before losing consciousness, she instinctively grabbed a handful of snow and muttered something to herself, her heart filled with resentment.

......

"Yes, there might still be hope for this child."

"Although the pulse is very weak, it should be fine if we act immediately."

"Alright, stop standing there and get her with you right now."

"Huh? Let me do it?"

Li Lin pointed to himself, somewhat speechless.

But seeing Ai Lei's expression that seemed to say, "If it's not you, then is it me, the goddess?", Li Lin eventually went over and picked up the girl who had fallen in the snow.

"Speaking of which, you, a goddess of death, actually have the mind to save a mortal?"

Back in the forest cabin, after settling the girl in, Li Lin turned around and looked at his goddess with a somewhat inexplicable expression.

"What, am I not allowed to do a good deed?"

Upon hearing this, Ereshkigal puffed out his cheeks, crossed his arms, and looked at Li Lin with some dissatisfaction.

"No, there isn't."

Li Lin shook his head.

"Although it surprised me a bit, it was actually all within reason."

Li Lin smiled slightly and said.

"Because I already knew that Lady Ereshkigal was very cute and kind. This behavior was entirely within my expectations."

"Woo..."

Hit by Li Lin's blunt words, Ai Lei suddenly felt as if she had been struck in the forehead, and couldn't help but let out a sudden, mournful cry.

"Ugh, ugh! There's no need to say this out loud!"

Ai Lei's face turned bright red, and a wisp of white smoke rose from her little golden head.

His arrogant demeanor greatly pleased Li Lin.

dong dong dong~~

Just then, there was a knock on the door next door.

Li Lin frowned slightly, looked in the direction of the sound, and thought to himself, "A guest has arrived."

However, before he could go over and open the door...

Ai Lei was already standing in front of the door before him.

"Hoo~, ha~~."

Ereshkigal took a few deep breaths, raised his hand to his chest, and forcibly suppressed the shy expression he had just had.

She then reached out and opened the door, intending to see who had come all the way to this freezing place to find her.

However, when she saw who it was, her slightly embarrassed face immediately turned expressionless, and she slammed the door shut again.

"Hmm? Is someone outside the door?"

Seeing Ai Lei walk over again, Li Lin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, it's just a female dog passing by, nothing to be surprised about."

"Hey! I heard you! Who are you calling a bitch?!"

Before Ai Lei could finish speaking, another series of banging sounds came from outside the door.

Li Lin: "......."

Upon hearing that highly recognizable curse, Li Lin's lips twitched, and he immediately knew who it was.

Good heavens, he was wondering where a female dog could come from in this freezing weather, and it turns out it was that guy.

No wonder Irene's expression changed so quickly just now.

"Tsk, looks like you really don't know why flowers are so red unless I teach you a lesson!"

Ereshkigal pulled out a wood-chopping axe from somewhere, and with a fierce expression, opened the door, intending to show the goddess outside what it meant to split a mountain in two!

"No, no, no, it's not necessary, there's really no need for that."

Seeing this, Li Lin broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stepped forward to stop it.

After much persuasion, Ereshkigal reluctantly put down her weapon, allowing Ishtar to enter with trepidation.

I had just stepped into the cabin.

Ishtar immediately noticed the huge axe standing to the side.

"Gurgle~."

She subconsciously swallowed, her snow-white neck involuntarily shrinking back.

What just happened?!

Why is there an axe here that looks like a murder weapon made from cardamom?

Ishtar felt as if she had just narrowly escaped death.

And this murder weapon is irrefutable proof!

'That damned Enki! I told you not to come looking for him at this time, but he wouldn't listen!'

"See? I almost got chopped up alive just now!"

Ishtar couldn't help but roar in his heart.

She was increasingly resentful of Enki's sudden request for her help.

PS...............

Here's a spoiler; feel free to delete if you don't like it.

In fact, this girl is Siduri.

Siduri is, in essence, a survivor of the Great Flood and a wise woman exploring the nature of life and death. (*oω?*)?))+?

Chapter 36, Ishtar A went up, and Ishtar dropped a whole bunch of gold Bs.

"I see."

"Are you saying that the God-King plans to destroy the world, the power of the Destiny Tablet has been activated, and you don't want to see the world suffer, so you came to me for help?"

At the table, Li Lin rested his chin on his hands, adopting a commanding posture as he spoke.

"Yeah, that's right."

Ishtar sat opposite Li Lin, her hands obediently tucked between her legs, and nodded.

"Okay, so how do you think I have the ability to change all of this?"

Li Lin glanced helplessly at Ishtar, who was deliberately pretending to be a good girl, and said speechlessly.

"No matter what, I used to be a god. You think too highly of me to expect me to stop fate from happening?"

Although Li Lin had vaguely guessed this from the beginning of this heavy snow.

It's likely that, in mythology, the first cataclysmic event is not far off for him.

But as I said before, what good is it if you notice it?

Ultimately, he lacked the power to truly influence the course of history.

"Huh? But Enki said you have a way!"

Ishtar's red eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised.
