In this crossover anime/manga series, my romantic choices in my head are a bit strange.

What to do now? Lin Tian was even more troubled than Astrea. He really didn't expect Drag to be released so suddenly.

【Um... well, but, Draig.】

【What's wrong, buddy? Is there a problem?】

Lin Tian thought for a moment. Draeg definitely wanted to breathe fresh air and cause a ruckus with the gods. Even with the arrogant nature of the Second Heavenly Dragon, who didn't respect the God of the Bible, and Sun Wukong, imprisoned for so many years, still couldn't change his nature. This Red Dragon was the same; she didn't respect the gods either. Even if Lin Tian told her that she would provoke many gods, and that it could end in mutual destruction, Draeg would still insist on going out…

Reasoning with him didn't work, so he had to resort to emotional appeals.

[Dreig, haven't I been good to you? I even released you, that was my promise, and I've kept it. But think about it, you haven't kept your promise yet.]

[I promised... Oh, I see.]

Drag remembered. The condition for Lin Tian to fulfill his promise was that it would help him solve his future troubles with the gods.

[No problem! Partner, where's your enemy? Let's go take care of it right now! I can't wait to feel my current power!]

"Uh... not yet. But I'm not kidding you, my friend. You saw the god who helped you break the seal, didn't you?"

Drag looked out through Lin Tian's body. She was a beautiful woman who had become haggard from expending too much energy to help Lin Tian imprint the mark. Drag felt embarrassed thinking that he had contributed to her haggard appearance.

"She is your benefactor, but in fact... uh..." Lin Tian's mind raced, and he made up an excuse at random:

In fact, a god lurking in the shadows has already set his sights on her and is about to make his move!

【Ugh…this is unacceptable!】

After thinking about it, Draig realized that rather than suffering for the rest of his life by not repaying the kindness, he could accept the temporary discomfort of not going out.

[Alright, buddy. Hmph, when that day comes, I'll definitely deal with him myself—oh, buddy, you said you wanted to use my strength, was it also to deal with this vile clown?]

"Half, I guess. I still have another one to deal with." This was from Fiona's god, Dionysus. Fiona disliked him intensely, saying she sensed he was connected to the Dark Clique, and if she were the real Dionysus, then he would also be his target.

After calming Drag down, Lin Tian began to check his skills. The first two were somewhat expected, but the Pink King's skill surprised him…

accurate.

Damn it, men are supposed to fight! This is forcing me to fight only in bed!

"Have you finished watching?"

Astraea asked. By this time, she had tidied herself up, and her sweat-soaked dress was now clean and clear. She sat in the chair at the table and took a sip of the black tea that Kaguya had brought her at some point, looking just like an elegant noblewoman.

A burst of noise came from outside; the members of the Astrea Familia had all gotten up and started exercising.

"I've finished reading, Lady Astraea." "Hmm, no need to be so formal..."

She wanted to say there was no need to be so formal, and that she could just call her Astraea, which was what Kaguya called her in private too—but when she thought of Lin Tian's two almost monstrous skills, her mind became flustered without her realizing it, and even the ancient goddess, who had been around for millions of years, blushed for once: "Hmm. Just call me that."

We can't be that close!

Before Lin Tian could even process what was happening, the topic of Astraea had already jumped to the next one:

"After reviewing your skills, Lin Tian, ​​you must understand that you are completely different from other adventurers."

The mere fact that Lin Tian possesses dragon blood is enough to prevent him from rashly entering the dungeon. With his "dragon" attribute, Lin Tian's abilities are undoubtedly incredibly powerful, perhaps even surpassing the legendary SSS rank—that's the crux of the problem.

She was unsure what physical symptoms the dragon blood would cause in Lin Tian. When Lin Tian led his team to explore the deeper parts of the dungeon, the Astrea Familia would definitely have to cooperate with other Familias. What if this mutation was discovered then?

Not to mention that Lin Tian doesn't need to enter the underground city at all!

"Lin Tian, ​​we may have only known each other for a day, so I am not qualified to advise you."

Astraea said seriously:

"Compared to other ordinary adventurers, your method of acquiring power is extremely easy, and your potential is incredibly high, making you unique in this world."

"But acquiring power too easily can also lead you astray. No matter what, please remember the justice in your heart and do not lose your way because of power!"

Lin Tian's strength will definitely increase explosively, and she has no way or reason to stop this delightful change.

"Your skills... need to be in bed with women to improve, and I can accept that."

She felt embarrassed just thinking about it. How could a nascent goddess like herself have a child whose abilities were linked to sex? If Loki and the others found out, they would laugh at her for the rest of their lives!

She suppressed her embarrassment and said seriously:

"But you absolutely cannot force anyone! Lin Tian, ​​even if it's to go to the pleasure quarters, if I discover such an evil act... without a doubt, I will expel you from the clan! Do you accept that?"

"No problem. I accept!"

And so, Lin Tian's Orario Fantasy Tale began!

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Families of Dionysus

While Lin Tian was busy joining a clan, elsewhere...

Fives arrived at an unassuming house. The house looked splendid, with no weeds growing at the entrance; it was a grand mansion belonging to a wealthy family, and if you asked the nearby residents who lived there, everyone would know.

A god resides there! Although not widely known in Orario, this god is quite famous in his own residential area, and many locals respect him. If asked what one would think of him, he would probably be a gentle, upright individual among the many gods who harbored ambitions to explore Orario but failed.

He is an ordinary god with a very good impression - that's about it.

But Philvis knew that it was all a disguise by Dionysus. Whether it was his unintentional fondness for pretense or his deliberate manipulation and deception of the inhabitants, the gods who descended upon Orario, though each had their own personality and habits, were ultimately gods.

In the realms of gods and humans, it's not surprising that high-ranking deities might suddenly decide to descend to the mortal realm, and thus, for no apparent reason, decide to play the role of a good person. During the time when Philweis was filled with gratitude towards the supreme god, she didn't pay attention to such things.

Now, Phil Weiss stepped into this manor once again. The lush, verdant grass, the white courtyard that was always exposed to the sun on one side, and the meticulously maintained windows and walls all gave her an eerie feeling.

“Senior Fivies!” Fivies. “Fivies…” “Hmm.”

Philweis greeted each of her fellow clansmen who passed by. Though called fellow clansmen, she didn't actually remember what they looked like; she only nodded to them, and they treated her as an unrelated member of their clans.

Her relationship with her fellow members was quite ordinary, which was to be expected; who would associate with a harbinger of death who was burdened with a strange curse? After all, exploring dungeons is something that fellow members should do together, and the fact that Philvis always teamed up with other members of her fellow clan was enough to show that she was being ostracized.

Philweis was instinctively insecure, and therefore hadn't paid attention to her companions. But when she noticed these companions—some disdainful, some indifferent, some greedy—that uneasy feeling resurfaced. This was a reality contradicting reality, a truth contrary to established common sense.

"So weak..."

And ordinary. It's not that the gods would never accept children with ordinary talents—after all, gods are capricious and willful—but there are just too many of them!

They were all IV1, with a few like her at Iv2, and not a single one at V3. If the stats update goes smoothly this time, she'll definitely be the leader of the Dionysus Familia…

Given Dionysus's good reputation in this region, even if there are few outstanding and upright children, he can still recruit two or three. With his wisdom, gentleness, and meticulousness, he will surely be able to cultivate a few V3 or even V4 children. Of course, perhaps this benevolent god simply doesn't like his followers to be too powerful, after all, gods do as they please.

It's possible that this is the truth!

He was hiding something he couldn't show to others, so he didn't need overly bright children; the thought made Phil Weiss feel bitter, which meant she was also one of the mediocre ones.

No. Despite my mediocre abilities, I will do my job well! She pushed open Dionysus's door, and the handsome, blond-haired, Greek-style man smiled gently at her!

"Welcome back, Phil Weiss! I thought you had died a few days ago... I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Hmm... I'm very sorry, Lord Dionysus. I've worried you."

She had grown into a woman, and thus naturally learned to disguise herself, revealing a smile that was no different from her usual mix of inferiority and joy. Dionysus paused slightly, his eyes deepening.

"Is that so? But as the chief god, it is my duty to care for my children. — Philvis, come here."

He sat perfectly upright. His tight-fitting black suit trousers accentuated his perfect leg shape. He patted his thigh and reached out to Phil Weiss:

"What difficulties have you encountered this time? Don't worry, tell me as you always have, and I will listen to your troubles." Philweis would never refuse in the past. Perhaps it was an elf's quirk, or perhaps it was her inexperience—she was still quite young, and it was inevitable that she would develop special feelings after experiencing external pressures.

It could be her father, it could be love, it could be a friend; she couldn't deny that she had once sat on the lap of this god who had lived for millions of years, seeking his comfort like that of an elder. A woman's heart is always complex.

She had once been confused about what this feeling was, but now she didn't need to. She had a very domineering first love, a man who had seized her with cunning and force, and her heart was pounding for the first time. So the answer was obvious.

"...No, no need."

Perhaps it was disgust and hatred. The thought that her misfortune might have been caused by this wicked god filled her with immense anger, but thankfully, it wasn't too late!

At least there's still a chance to salvage things; at least she didn't ignorantly offer all her precious possessions to the gods for solace—that's what she's most grateful for now.

"...Oh? Phyllis, you've changed. It seems you've grown a lot during this dungeon trip." Dionysus subtly withdrew his hand, speaking with a mixture of curiosity and kindness.

"What's wrong? Did something strange happen?"

Philweis tried to hide her eyes, and just as she was about to answer no, her mind suddenly clicked, and something dawned on her: she was facing a man who was incredibly cautious in his every word and action, someone who could even hide his true face before the gods. Could her novice-level disguise really fool him?

She couldn't fool him! He saw all her resentment, disgust, and pain! She couldn't answer no, because that would give the impression that she had a secret. She knew perfectly well how dangerous that impression would be for Lin Tian.

So she turned, her drooping neck slightly lifted as if weary, allowing Dionysus to see the deepest flicker of emotion in her eyes. She didn't deliberately reveal it; if he believed he was being manipulated, then he would continue down this path! No matter how deeply she hid this stirring of emotion, as long as it was genuine, Dionysus would surely discover it!

“…Hmm. I met a special man. A lot happened between us… He saved my life.” Philvis always did most of the talking in their conversations, with Dionysus only offering slight responses. When Philvis was unwilling to elaborate, the two naturally fell into silence.

"Ah! I see, I see... Hmm~"

Seemingly having discovered something interesting, he was about to ask who the man was when Philvis spoke up directly: "I'm so sorry! I... I've fallen in love with him." "Therefore, I'm leaving the Familia!"

Chapter Seventy: Joo-hee's After-School Exercise

"what?"

Dionysus was utterly astonished by this statement. He truly hadn't expected that Philweis, who was practically universally disliked, could actually find a boyfriend. No, was it a one-sided love...?

"Is it for pursuing love? Fiona is so romantic." "It's not about pursuing," Fiona blushed and said shyly, "I...we've already...um." Oh, I see.

This also resolved Dionysus's doubts; presumably, Phileith's dislike stemmed from this variable. But why?

This man, whom she had never known before, whispered slander in Phil Weiss's ear. The reason for doubting the authenticity of this word is not that she doubts the existence of the words, but that the use of "slander" here is inappropriate.

Because he actually did it!

"Hehe, this is quite interesting. However, it would be too frivolous to leave the clan for something like this."

"I, I..."

"Philips".

Dionysus's gaze was serious, and the hem of his robe fluttered even without wind: "No god would rashly allow their followers to leave their people, and you are no exception."

"Were you deceived? Or rather, why would love make you abandon our relationship?"

“I’m worried about you, Philweis. You’ve only been gone for a few days, and some people have said something to you that has drastically changed your perception of things… I’m glad you have such a girlish heart, but the cunning and treachery of some people is beyond your comprehension.”

"They'll use the girls' wildest imaginations to weave a huge net, making them obediently abandon everything—Philwines has heard of the Dark Faction, hasn't she?"

"This is one of the methods of the secret faction." "But...!"

Dionysus looked at Phileas with resentment; his less-than-subtle slander was sure to enrage the lovestruck young woman. Dionysus feigned a sigh; he was prepared. It was precisely this feeling that had left Phileas powerless that made him about to say, 'Phileas, I understand you are confused, no matter where in the world you are. But at least, you should let me know who he is—'

He didn't care what Phil Weiss thought; he was just curious about who this person who had suddenly barged in was. Just as he was about to say this:

"But I love him, I love him so much I can't control myself...!"

"Everyone sees me as a jinx, no one wants to walk with me, and I don't have a single friend in my clan. But now, someone has appeared—not just a friend, but an incredibly close lover!"

"Those thoughts don't matter! I want to be with him all the time, surrounded by his scent. That's all I want!"

"So, my lord, I beg you... please let me go!"

Philweis burst into tears, a complex expression she had never seen before even momentarily bewildering Dionysus. Philweis continued, speaking of the depth of her love for Lin Tian, ​​how happy she was to know him, how all the past seemed as dim as dust, and how she was willing to die with him. If Lin Tian were present, these words would sound utterly familiar—weren't they lines from those cheesy, love-struck dramas?

Balanced!

Phil Weiss stopped crying.

Dionysus was very well-mannered; even when angry, his face remained expressionless. He simply couldn't imagine how such a fine elf had become like this.

He's just like an ordinary human scoundrel! "Fine, fine..."

His gentle persona almost crumbled. Since Philvis was determined to leave, he might as well let her go. Since Philvis was so foolish, she probably hadn't discovered his true colors; she was just a simple-minded idiot who felt the world was hostile towards her and that only one person truly cared for her. A while later, Philvis walked out of the Dionysus Familia, looking refreshed. She was free!

She was pondering what to do next—joining a clan wasn't easy, and she needed to think of a few clans to recommend to Lin Tian. After entering the inn where Zhu Xi and the other woman were staying and learning their room number, she went to the door and knocked.

"Who...who is it?"

The faint voice was somewhat muffled, seemingly tinged with panting and panic. "Sister Zhuxi, it's me, Fei'er!"

She arrived late, and according to the rule of first come, first served, she was to call Joo-hee "older sister." She didn't feel embarrassed or shy at all; Joo-hee was a very gentle person, and it was very easy to talk to her.

There was a pause inside the room, followed by a series of increasingly loud, pattering footsteps, and a creaking sound—

"Unnie Joo-hee, I just... eh?!"

Phil Weiss stared in astonishment at the scene before her. Inside were naturally the two women, Joo Hee and Song Yi, but what startled and embarrassed her was Joo Hee's attire.

The curtains were drawn, the sheets on the two large beds were disheveled, and there were no candles lit for illumination. The two backpacks she had brought were open, with various erotic costumes and props scattered on the floor, and a familiar scent that made her blush filled the air.

Zhu Xi wore only a beige coat and a white, lace-trimmed bra, the crimson nipples of her breasts exposed and erect. Her long, straight legs were encased in white leg rings and intricately patterned stockings. A small pink device was attached to the leg rings, its wires disappearing below her triangular pubic area, with a faint, transparent liquid trickling down the pink wires.

Zhu Xi's cheeks were flushed, and she was panting heavily, clearly in the throes of excitement. She pulled Fei Erweis inside and quickly closed the door. After doing all this, she relaxed and slid down against the door, kneeling on the floor like a duck, her elegant and gentle image completely gone.

"Sister Zhuxi, what... what's wrong with you?!" Oh my god!

Phil Weiss had never seen Zhu Xi like this before—she was kept like a caged bird by Lin Tian in another small apartment, and the two didn't know each other at all before this time travel. Phil Weiss had also never been involved in this kind of thing, the only time being when she went through connections with Lin Tian. Therefore, seeing her supposed sister in such a dazed state, Phil Weiss covered her lips, her face full of disbelief.

“Philwines. You...you haven’t done this before...?”
