Chapter 333

She turned into a jungle leopard

Xiang Honglin saw Cheng Shi, and the moment she saw him, she revealed a brilliant smile.

She waved the Mushroom-Foot people away, letting them wait in place, and then restrained her smile and walked toward him with a complex expression. When she reached Cheng Shi, she sighed with deep emotion:

"I never thought fate would be so tortuous."

Cheng Shi smiled and looked at this warrior friend who had been recognized by the 【Covenant】 as one of the heirs of 【Prosperity】, and suddenly teased her with a mischievous smile.

"Is this still the daring Druid I know?

How did you become so sentimental?"

"Bullshit, this is just emotion!" Xiang Honglin laughed again, shook her head, reached out, and took the die bestowed by 【Fate】 from her space.

Looking at the 24-sided die in her hand, Cheng Shi enviously took out his own die, 6-sided.

But no matter how many sides, when the two people present placed their dice side by side, they suddenly murmured in low voices with a tacit understanding:

"The path coming and the path going, all are destined."

Seeing Xiang Honglin's expression becoming increasingly pious, Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that he had completely fooled the big cat.

Of course, his benefactor 【Fate】 played a part in this; after all, It was the god who made Xiang Honglin believe that there really was an organization of destined people in this world.

But to be fair, since Xiang Honglin got the die, then the one in his bag......

He peeked into his personal space and found that the Fate Die for opening the second faith was still lying quietly in his personal space, not taken back by his benefactor.

So......

Is his identity as a destined person officially recognized?

Does It still want him to take this die to fool others?

Cheng Shi hummed a laugh and remembered 【Deception】's words: It is better at lying than I am.

Now it seems, whether 【Fate】 is better at lying, he doesn't know, but It certainly seems to like lying—hmm, to be precise, It likes fooling people.

Xiang Honglin saw Cheng Shi smile and raised an eyebrow: "What's so funny? Tell me too?"

Cheng Shi was stunned and shook his head: "Nothing, the trial is over, and I should go too. But before I go, I have something to give you."

As he spoke, he took out two branches, one large and one small, in front of Xiang Honglin.

One was sturdy and full of vitality, the other was tender but overflowing with 【Prosperity】.

Xiang Honglin only recognized her own baptism of rebirth; as for the other one, although she didn't recognize it, she could guess what it was.

Feeling the infinite power of 【Prosperity】 coming from it, Xiang Honglin's pupils shrank, her gaze sharpened, and she exclaimed in disbelief in a low voice:

"This is Its...... authority!!??"

She suddenly raised her head to look at Cheng Shi, her eyes revealing unconcealable shock.

"Where did you get the authority of 【Prosperity】?"

Cheng Shi shrugged and stuffed both branches into the hands of the stunned Xiang Honglin.

"It gave it to me."

He didn't dare say it was given by 【Deception】, so he could only vaguely say "It," letting Xiang Honglin fill in the blanks herself. But he knew that even if Xiang Honglin filled in the blanks, she would only think of "It" as 【Fate】.

However, all of this should have been within 【Deception】's expectations. It didn't care about these things and would even find amusement in them.

Because this is the god of amusement; apart from amusement, It probably doesn't like anything else.

"You......"

"You still say you haven't become sentimental. What 'you, you, me, me'—what's wrong, you don't want it?"

Xiang Honglin stared blankly into Cheng Shi's eyes and suddenly laughed: "I want it. What I wanted to say is, do you have any other authority? You can give it all to me; I want it all."

"......"

Keep dreaming.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and irritably took out something else from his personal space......

A tongue.

He held this Lying Tongue, looked at Xiang Honglin, whose body had stiffened, and hummed with a laugh:

"Don't think this is over. My brother Tongue says that even if you become a Messenger of 【Prosperity】, you still have to finish that unfinished game.

Speak up: Truth or Dare?"

The Lying Tongue was still twisting in Cheng Shi's hand, but after he finished these words, it suddenly burped and lazily stopped moving.

Xiang Honglin wasn't stupid. Seeing that the Lying Tongue had no interest in her, she chuckled, turned to look at Cheng Shi, and said:

"Truth. Ask away."

You asked for it!

Cheng Shi was happy. He blurted out the question Xiang Honglin had once asked, returning it exactly as it was:

"How did you get tricked by Zhen Yi?"

Although Xiang Honglin had expected it, her face still darkened upon hearing the name.

As expected!

She nodded irritably, gritting her teeth and saying:

"Fine, fine, fine, you want to know, right? I'll tell you, but you swear you won't spread it."

Cheng Shi nodded vigorously: "Impossible, tell me quickly."

"She......" A flash of shame and annoyance crossed Xiang Honglin's eyes as she clenched her fists and said, "She turned into a jungle leopard......"

"?" Cheng Shi was stunned, "What does that mean?"

Xiang Honglin glared at him hatefully and refused to say another word, and the Lying Tongue also had no reaction. Cheng Shi was even more confused now.

Seeing him still thinking, Xiang Honglin gritted her teeth and laughed:

"The trial is already over. Are you planning to stay here thinking until tomorrow's sunset, waiting for the game to automatically teleport you out?"

Cheng Shi jolted back to his senses. Although there was still doubt in his eyes, he nodded seriously:

"Let's go, it's time to go.

But I'm curious, after becoming a Messenger, will you continue to participate in Their trials like us?"

Xiang Honglin frowned, thinking as she phrased her words:

"The guidance It gave is too vague. Everything will have to wait until I leave this trial to give an answer.

But speaking of this, I want to ask you: for such a large organization as the Destined People, shouldn't there be some means of communication or meeting?

Why have you never told me?

Could it be that you are still hiding something from me?"

"......"

Big sister, if an organization of two people can be called large, then I really have hidden quite a few things from you......

As expected, the loophole of one lie needs countless lies to cover up.

Fortunately, I know a little about lying and am not afraid of such small scenes.

Cheng Shi sneered disdainfully and curled his lips:

"Don't forget under whose protection we are. When you need to see me, fate will naturally let us meet, and the same goes for me."

Xiang Honglin nodded thoughtfully, her eyes shining with fanatical light.

This is fate, crazy and charming fate.

Watching Xiang Honglin's expression become increasingly abnormal, Cheng Shi swallowed quietly.

His hand behind his back tightly covered the stuffed Lying Tongue, preventing it from burping again.

Sigh, it's better to take this tongue out less often in the future; otherwise, it's easy to give the game away.

Apart from 【Truth】, the bald one should be the last "bloodline" of 【Prosperity】. And even this bit of "bloodline" was fooled by him into believing in 【Fate】.

I have to say, fate...... is quite interesting.

"Alright, that's all for now. Bald one, let's meet again if fate allows."

"Wait, aren't you curious about what I inherited from 【Prosperity】?"

Of course I'm curious. If my benefactor hadn't told me long ago, I would have died of curiosity.

But now, *ahem*, the mysterious destined person never cares about external things.

Cheng Shi smiled and touched his nose: "What's there to be curious about? Everyone has their own fate. Go, I won't see you off."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi waved his hand and stepped back.

He wasn't performing any farewell ceremony; he just wanted to end this trial as a believer of 【Fate】, writing a perfect period for this fate-changing situation full of changes.

So he quietly touched his shadow behind his back and left the trial.

And the moment he left the trial, seeing the settlement information, he finally understood what the so-called "task of bestowing the 【Prosperity】 trial" meant.
