My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 673 This is Ai Lei, she is very cute

I unexpectedly discovered that the goddess of the underworld is a very easy character to please.

After feeding, Ailei held her cheek, still enjoying the aftertaste of the food. Shuoyue hummed a song while cleaning up the dishes, occasionally glancing at the corners of the girl's cat-like mouth, thinking in her heart.

Just a bouquet of flowers, a dinner, or simply a little company is enough to make her smile with joy.

But, it is also fragile.

The withering of flowers, the departure of people... Although she is the great goddess who controls the underworld, she still has not learned how to accept the common "departure" in the human world.

That's why he was so stubborn in wanting to collect all the souls on the ground. As long as they were all placed in the underworld, there would be no more loss and sorrow. Everything would be responded to in the underworld.

This is the method that the goddess of the underworld can come up with to protect mankind.

——Although this approach would naturally be rejected, no one would ignore Ereshkigal’s sincerity.

It is this childish clumsiness that highlights the goddess's lovableness.

"Why, aren't you afraid of me?"

If you don’t listen carefully, you won’t be able to hear Ailei’s voice, as if it was a whisper: “I am the god of the underworld, the mother goddess of fear who represents the death of mankind... You should be afraid of me and stay away from me.”

Shuoyue turned her head slightly, and when her eyes met Ailei's, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she turned her head away again: "You can obviously leave the underworld, but you ran back on your own. Is this dark place worth staying in?"

so cute.

Even if she says one thing and means another, she's still cute.

Feeling that his heart had been struck, Shuoyue covered his chest and decided to fight back in the most straightforward way:
"So what? Ailei is very cute. I came back here just to see you."

"Hmm..." The goddess had never expected to be hit by a straight ball. Her waterfall-like blonde hair swayed, and she hugged her knees again and curled up like a frightened little animal. After a long while, she finally found her voice.

"But, but, since you returned to the ground when I wasn't paying attention, you should have understood the situation of this land, Mesopotamia."

The serious topic diluted the charming atmosphere. Shuoyue put away the smile on his face, and Ailei also plucked up the courage, turned around, stared at him without blinking, capturing every emotion on the young man's handsome face.

"I cannot forgive the current Mesopotamia. I do not agree with you humans who have abandoned the gods and are planning to create a world that belongs only to you."

"Because this will only bring pain... Humans will be unable to escape the pain of living and the fear of death."

"People's intelligence has grown too much, too much to accept reality as it is. But as long as we are in the Age of Gods, this pain can be alleviated because there are 'things that humans cannot understand'."

"Blaming the unreasonableness and cruelty of God, I can live my life with an open mind."

"I have always believed that this way of existence is good, and I have endured it for thousands and tens of thousands of years."

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, but only in front of Shuoyue, she always couldn't help but speak out her inner thoughts:
"So I joined this alliance, in order to transform your world into a world where humans and gods coexist. I am not an enemy of humans, but an enemy of the human world. Ah, I only told you, Shuoyue, about this."

At the end, Ai Lei smiled, injecting a little vitality into the heaviness of the topic, but it couldn't hide the uneasiness in her eyes.

This is the real me, the goddess of the underworld who is selfish and stands against human civilization.

Can Shuoyue accept myself as I am now?
Amidst the anxiety, the goddess watching over the underworld heard the young man's gentle response: "Is that so... You are so gentle, Elle."

gentle?

I thought the young man would be unhappy, would scold her, or even order her not to do something...but I never thought that such a description would appear on me.

"You are also a god, right?" Shuoyue asked back, "If you think so, aren't you prepared to be blamed by the world?"

"Even so, I still want to protect humanity. There is no point in belittling myself with this intention."

Ai Lei widened her eyes and listened to Shuoyue's words in a daze.

"In return, I will tell you a secret, Ailei. I am not from this world, but a traveler who has come here from across time and space." "Based on our contact over the past few days, I can tell you responsibly without any prejudice—"

With the sound of footsteps, the young man approached the dazed goddess of the underworld, pointed at her beautiful face, and said in a shocking voice:

"This is Elle, she's adorable!"

As the young man's voice spread, the Garula spirits who were still lying dead suddenly sat up from their dying illness, cheered and rushed into the sky, circling around the goddess in the temple.

Agree with the above!

Ever since being influenced by Shuoyue's song "Young Man", the Garula spirits have become more and more "lively". Suddenly, it seemed as if there were a group of cats making a lot of noise in the underworld.

The goddess, who was described by Shuoyue in this way, blushed even more. When she noticed the young man's smiling gaze, she could no longer hold back and covered her face, slowly squatting down.

"What, what is that..."

I clearly knew that this was a teasing to the goddess, but I couldn't get angry no matter what. I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my mouth, but I couldn't help wanting to cry.

Is this a compliment? From the time I was born till now, I have never heard words that could carry such complex emotions.

Her head was still dizzy, but her thoughts were racing. As if to escape reality, Ai Lei suddenly recalled a memory.

That was a very girlish wish that was almost forgotten by her during the time of lonely waiting.

[I also want to live freely like Ishtar. I want to meet someone who knows that I am the master of the underworld but can get along with me without caring about my status as the master of the underworld]

【This is Ailei, she is very cute! 】

When the long-gone past was awakened, the two memories overlapped, causing the girl to open her eyes in surprise. Finally, she realized that her wish had come true.

"that……"

"Hmm?" Shuoyue raised an eyebrow and saw Ailei turned her head to the side, blushing and pleading in a low voice:

"Can you, give me another flower?"

"Of course you can. Although we haven't found a way to preserve it permanently, and the flowering period is very short, it will be fine as long as we renew it in time." Shuoyue raised his hand and the golden flower reappeared in his palm. He handed it to the girl, "I promise that I won't let it wither again."

Ai Lei carefully took the flower. The petals were dotted with dewdrops, which were crystal clear. They fell as the flower swayed, touched her fingertips, and flowed into her heart.

The refracted brilliant light, like happiness, filled her empty heart.

"Thank you, Shuoyue." The goddess raised her head and smiled at the young man, but Shuoyue was stunned and forgot to respond for a moment.

The carefully selected golden carnations are not only beautiful, but even have a faint fluorescent glow, making them look dreamy.

However, when Ailei smiled from the bottom of her heart, even the flowers blooming in the underworld would fall under the charm of the goddess.

No, the flowers fixed by the third method are illusory after all. There is only one bunch of flowers that truly grows and blooms in the underworld.

That was the goddess who showed a happy smile in front of Shuoyue.

"Being able to see such a smile, this trip to the underworld is regret-free."

With this thought in mind, Shuoyue left the temple of the underworld, found a huge and empty place, and closed his eyes.

Next, it is the planning of ground matters.

For example, the Absolute Demonic Front, Uruk City, which has not yet been completed.
