Chapter 2023

"is what makes a powerful god..."

Xiyao's evaluation of Su Han was very high.

At least in her view,

he was even more powerful than the Heavenly Emperor.

This power referred to an incredibly firm heart.

Allowing others to be stronger than oneself.

This is a tolerant heart.

Like Fuxi, who always looked down on others, feeling that they would threaten him.

This made it impossible to break through.

But the person before her was the exact opposite.

He hoped his partners would become stronger.

Taking advantage of having time today,

Su Han accompanied Xiyao for a while. During this time, she heard about the puppet and took a fruit from her bosom.

It was similar to Xuejian's,

but it didn't have a soul attached.

"This is?"

"The fruit of the Divine Tree, but... it doesn't have too much power. The Divine Tree leaves a fruit every once in a while. It has very powerful effects for repairing the body,"

"and for recreating the body."

Looking at the crystal-clear fruit in his hand...

Su Han raised his head and asked, "Can you give me another one?"

He wanted to save the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

She had a soul but no body.

If there was such a fruit, reshaping her body would become incredibly simple.

Xiyao nodded gently and took another one from her bosom.

The same fruit, the same spiritual energy.

It seemed she had saved quite a few.

Seeing Su Han's curious gaze, Xiyao smiled: "This is the Divine Tree's intention. It hates Fuxi very much, saying he slaughtered too many lives."

"But you are different... this land records many things."

"There is war and there is peace."

"But ever since you arrived,"

"those chaotic things have disappeared."

"So the Divine Tree likes you very much."

"So that's it... so Fuxi was rejected by the Divine Tree!"

Su Han suddenly realized.

No wonder that guy Fuxi was so old.

So that was it.

Su Han accompanied Xiyao for two hours. When he left, she made a strange request.

"Can you hug me?"

"Hmm..."

He looked at her strangely.

Xiyao smiled faintly,

indicating she wasn't joking and he hadn't misheard.

"I just want to feel it... will you satisfy me?"

The Goddess spoke.

How could he refuse?

Su Han stood up and pulled her into his arms.

Touching this Goddess for the first time, he felt what it meant to have skin like ice and bones like jade.

She was a Goddess,

without the body temperature of an ordinary person.

Holding her in his arms felt a bit cold.

And... her heartbeat was clearly accelerating. Before he could sense it clearly,

Xiyao pulled away.

She turned her back to Su Han and said, "Alright... I'm tired today, let's meet another day..."

"Hmm, you rest well."

Su Han didn't understand what she meant,

but looking at her, it seemed she felt pretty good?

After he left,

Xiyao looked at her body, which had become slightly warm, and murmured, "Is this the feeling of a heartbeat? A bit scary..."

"But also a bit addictive."

"It's a different feeling from Feipeng."

Being with Feipeng was mutual appreciation,

it was pity,

it was self-pity.

But being with Su Han was a kind of equality, a feeling of wanting to be with him more.

This feeling was the first time Xiyao had experienced it.
