Chapter 398: Mind you, don't give the game away

"What are you all chatting about? Mind if I join in?"

At this moment, the door to the card room was pushed open directly, and a man's voice drifted in.

Accompanied by the voice, Su Nian walked into the card room with a smile on his face.

He nodded at Black Rabbit with a smile, then walked over to the card table with the ease of an old acquaintance and pulled up a chair to sit down.

"What monkeys, what bickering? It's made me quite curious."

"You know perfectly well why you're asking!"

Hearing this, Mata couldn't help but roll her eyes; looking at the culprit behind all this chaos in Little Garden, she spoke speechlessly.

"How come you walk like a ghost? I've been keeping an eye on the surroundings, yet I didn't notice you coming back at all?"

Speaking of this, Mata couldn't help but look at Su Nian's simple short-sleeved shirt and casual shorts, and she couldn't help but narrow her eyes as she looked at Su Nian's lower body.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's that look supposed to mean? I only dawdled for a little while, didn't I?"

Noticing Mata's gaze, Su Nian couldn't help but block his front with his hands, his tone unnatural as he spoke.

"It means nothing, I was just curious."

Mata said this playfully, then rested her chin on her hands and looked at Su Nian with surprise.

"Six Sun Sovereignty; you and Wansheng really do look like a married couple."

What married couple? I can't even handle Wansheng's gravity myself... Su Nian muttered to himself, then flicked his hands and said displeasedly.

"You old folks are really something, how is it that nothing can be hidden from you?"

It's one thing for Shiroyasha to see how many Sun Sovereignty he has, but how could even you, Mata, see it?

Tsk, this tiny Little Garden really is full of hidden talents.

As expected, apart from Gaia, there isn't a single being who can sit firmly as an Earth Mother Goddess who is simple.

Mata is the only one Su Nian has seen whose status exceeds that of her counterpart in the Godslayer World; the star power she wields is probably even greater than Typhon's, right?

Hearing this, Mata blinked her eyes with feigned cuteness and gave a very innocent smile.

Seeing this scene, Su Nian couldn't help but retort.

"Why does an old crone act like a maiden?"

But as soon as these words were out, he offended people; after all, not one of the women present was under a hundred years old.

Even Black Rabbit, that youngster, was over two hundred years old.

But before Su Nian could continue, Mata rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Is that really the kind of image we have in your heart?"

She wasn't about to care much about such a small matter.

As for Su Nian, he followed the step Mata had provided to climb down.

"How could that be? Which one of you present isn't a goddess in my heart?"

Su Nian laughed it off and said.

Hearing this, Mata glanced at Su Nian speechlessly.

"Your words lack a bit of class, shouldn't you keep complimenting us?"

Mata said with a grin.

"Otherwise, be careful, or we might arrest you on the charge of illegal possession of Sun Sovereignty~~"

As she spoke, Mata shook the rose-gold handcuffs in her hand.

Sometimes Mata also wondered if the Heavenly Army's workload would decrease if she arrested Su Nian.

But in reality, she knew that Su Nian was slippery; even in the Heavenly Army's prison, it wouldn't stop him from causing trouble.

As far as the current situation in Little Garden goes, Su Nian hadn't even left Arcadia.

But in fact, although the current situation in Little Garden is treacherous, the lower levels have become much calmer, and the influence of the Heavenly Army has unexpectedly increased faintly.

Otherwise, would that old fox Indra cooperate with Su Nian to stir up trouble? He would have been arrested long ago.

"If I could legally possess these Sun Sovereignty just by staying for a few days, that would be great."

Hearing Mata's words, Su Nian couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Of course, it would be even better if a beautiful girl accompanied me."

Just as Su Nian finished this joke, Uesugi Kenshin slammed the table and stood up.

"Impossible, I would never accompany you to sit in a jail cell."

Once these words were out, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Su Nian, who had only been joking, looked at Uesugi Kenshin with a strange expression, while Mata, on the side, revealed a meaningful look.

And Black Rabbit, on the side, muttered in a low voice.

"Jialing-sama seems to hold a position in the Heavenly Army as well..."

Listening to Black Rabbit's muttering, Uesugi Kenshin's face was extremely embarrassed, and she even wanted to find a crack to crawl into to avoid these gazes.

It's all Mata's fault for saying something about a political marriage to maintain the relationship between Su Nian and the Heavenly Army...

At this time, Mata, covering her face with a speechless expression, sighed and said.

"Alright Uesugi, this was just a joke."

Could this silly girl really think that the marriage they talked about earlier was her?

So foolish; with your personality, who would dare let you go? You'd probably be tricked until you didn't know which way was up, right?

"If it were Uesugi, it wouldn't be impossible."

"You little brat, don't add to the chaos at a time like this!"

Mata looked at Su Nian speechlessly.

"The situation in this Little Garden would definitely be much more peaceful without your meddling."

"Causing trouble? When have I ever caused trouble?"

Su Nian widened his eyes and looked at Mata.

"Don't spout nonsense without evidence, okay? I have been managing Arcadia properly all along, fighting for the dream of Arcadia!!"

Fighting? Where did the six Sun Authority you possess come from? And who planned and incited the God Slayer War?

And who is the one playing tricks behind the current abnormalities in Buddhism?

And who was it that toyed with Ouroboros until it collapsed?

Mata looked at Su Nian with a smile and said.

"You had better hope there never comes a day when I catch you red-handed."

Su Nian smiled triumphantly; did he really think that having the Little Garden Central as a true backer was for nothing?

It might not be good at other things, but when it comes to guiding and hoodwinking, Little Garden Central is quite capable.

This is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao of a world wiping your backside; how could it not be effective?

Speechless, Mata glanced at Su Nian, changed her expression, and revealed a gentle smile as she said.

"Alright, chat time is over; it's time to handle some serious business."

"Uesugi!"

Mata glanced at Uesugi beside her, signaling her to hand the items to Su Nian.

But this action of hers left Uesugi Kenshin stunned.

"Mata, you don't actually intend to let me go and accompany him in the heavenly prison for a few days, do you?"

Mata's eyelid couldn't help but twitch, and she gave Uesugi Kenshin a forceful push.

"What are you thinking? It's just returning things to their rightful owner; give Xiaoming and the others back to Su Nian."

Uesugi Kenshin's gaze couldn't help but drift; she didn't dare look at Su Nian and could only glare fiercely at Mata.

Afterward, Uesugi Kenshin handed a white Gift Card capable of storing living beings to Su Nian.

"Most of the people from Arcadia who were captured by Ouroboros are here. The remaining portion was exiled to the outside world and is still being searched for, but don't hold out too much hope."

Seemingly noticing Black Rabbit's gaze, Uesugi Kenshin sighed and said.

"Canary is not among them; she was exiled to the outside world."

Black Rabbit's expression stiffened, but she still maintained the smile on her face and said.

"It's alright, being able to rescue some of our former companions is already very good."

Yet her words still carried a hint of sadness and loneliness; after all, Canary was her foster mother.

"Alright, Black Rabbit, take it. I'll trouble you to explain it to them later."

Su Nian casually tossed the Gift Card to Black Rabbit, then watched as Black Rabbit ran out of the card room.

After all, this place is too small; it really isn't suitable for releasing them.

"Alright, let's continue with the serious business. If it were just simply Kasukabe Takaaki and the others, it wouldn't be worth having two of the Twelve Heavenly Generals come over in person."

Su Nian leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and supported his head with one hand as he spoke.

"The damage to the Last King's Spirit Status is a rumor, right?"

Mata sat up straight and asked seriously; after all, as one of the executors of the God Slayer War, she needed to know this intelligence.

Only in this way could she better... open a back door for Su Nian.

"Mhm."

Su Nian gave a non-committal response. In fact, if it weren't for Judas's dedicated efforts, even the Last King's Spirit Status would have been a rumor.

"As expected."

Mata nodded in agreement. To be honest, as someone who personally witnessed Su Nian display great power and destroy the phantom of the Only God with a single sword strike, they were more willing to believe that the Last King's Spirit Status was damaged.

Otherwise, to kill a Two-digit and have no consequences at all? Wouldn't that be even more terrifying?

Sure enough, reality is the least logical thing.

Zeus takes thousands of years just to initiate a Great Father God Declaration, and his Spirit Status dropped to Four-digit? Although this Four-digit is quite watered down.

"So, do you really intend to become this Last King next?"

As Mata said this, she looked at Su Nian with a subtle expression.

It was clear he had been unwilling before, so why the change of heart? Was he looking down on the support of their Heavenly Army?

"After all, how could one refuse a meal delivered right to one's doorstep?"

Su Nian said righteously, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Moreover, he also needed to use the excuse of repairing the Last King's Spirit Status to cover up the fact that he had awakened as a Dragon Species.

He, a mere Four-digit novice, had only managed to become the Last King by luck, relying on the support of boss Baiye.

How could he possibly be one of those ruthless people from the Chinese Mythology who self-awakened into a Pure-blooded Dragon Species?

Even within the Chinese God Group of Little Garden, there are quite a few who self-awakened into Dragon Species, but there are truly very few who awakened into a Pure-blooded Dragon Species.

The most representative one is that Zhenwu Great Emperor, and going further back, those at the level of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

"Then you must be careful from now on; the gods intend to restructure the rules of the God Slayer War treaty."

Mata said with a calm expression, as if she weren't warning Su Nian at all.

"They intend to use the excuse of repairing the Last King's Spirit Status to pass the 【Covenant Great Dharma】 based on contributions to repairing the Spirit Status, allowing all gods to share in the glory of the Last King."

Having said this, Mata paused and reminded Su Nian.

"Be careful not to let the cat out of the bag."

"Also, don't forget, Baiye is currently in a state of having converted to Buddhism."

Instantly, Su Nian's expression became subtle.
