My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Chapter 686 Declaration of the Goddess of the Underworld

As night fell, a deep blue sky enveloped the city of Uruk, with stars twinkling, as if countless gems were dotted in it. The torches lit on the city walls illuminated the city like a golden ocean, and the swaying light danced on the solid stone walls, with countless figures passing through it.

In the square, laughter and joy rose and fell. The residents of Uruk put on their best clothes and rushed to this rare event. Led by the king of ancient Sparta, the men laughed and showed their bronze skin in the flames, while the women's gauze skirts shone in the moonlight, dancing with butterflies in the night sky, attracting envious glances from the silver-haired and red-eyed girls.

The children shuttled among the crowd, playing with young ghosts, chasing with boys dressed as ninjas, and laughing like silver bells.

On the arch bridge in the center of the square, a girl from the Yuan family in white played the flute, and a monk sat beside her, slapping his knees and chanting a song that was both future and ancient. The priests formed a circle in the center, holding up the torches in their hands. The flames trembled in the night wind, reflecting their faces with sacredness and enthusiasm. Their chanting echoed in the night sky, praying for a good harvest and peace.

On the high platform, three handsome heroes sat opposite each other, with beer in their hands rippling with fragrance. The wise king and the saint gazed at the citizens' celebration, as if watching the endless fire, with a gentle look, and the magician shook the wine glass, feeling the rising soul, but his eyes fell on the beautiful goddess with golden hair like a waterfall on the seat next to him.

God, if you can hear it, please give us peace, joy and satisfaction tonight.

This free and noble watch alone is enough to cope with the separation of life and death in the future.

As if she heard the young man's prayer, the goddess's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes in the bustle.

Then, the brand new Uruk came into view.

It was late at night, but the enthusiasm of the celebration had not diminished at all. The night of Uruk seemed to be ignited, full of endless joy and vitality. The cheerful music, fragrant food, and blazing fire seemed to have integrated the entire city into this ocean of joy. At this moment, every corner of Uruk was echoing with people's laughter and singing. Even if the monsters were dormant outside the city and the ominous gods were eyeing them in the dark, they still couldn't stop people's voices.

That was a praise for life and an expectation for the future.

And Ailei had never thought that when the bustle reached an extreme, it was no different from the silence of no one.

It's all like this... It makes people feel lonely.

No matter which one, it reminded her that she was alone, with no one to express her sorrow and no one to share her happiness.

Just looking at the celebration scene she had never seen before, Ai Lei still couldn't help but take a look, and then another look...

She didn't realize that a young man was holding his chin, half helpless and half amused, looking at her, until a certain moment when he raised his glass to drink, the light reflected on the glass flashed into the goddess' eyes, and then Ai Lei realized it belatedly.

"... New Moon?"

"Hey, goddess, long time no see." As soon as he opened his mouth, it was still the familiar and frivolous tone, "The moonlight is really beautiful, isn't it?"

Of course.

Ai Lei subconsciously wanted to answer this, but when she caught people's smiles, her eyes were rippled, and she shook her head:

"What's beautiful today is not the moon, but the people bathing in the moonlight."

After the voice fell, Gilgamesh and Amakusa looked at her in surprise, and their expressions were a little appreciative for a while-it's really rare to have such a deep love for humans, and this love is not distorted.

However, Ailei's sigh was not over yet.

"I really want to send them all to the underworld and take good care of them."

!!!

The corners of the mouths of the wise king and the saint twitched, one hand retracted into the sleeves of the wide robe, and the other secretly touched the battle axe at his feet. At this time, the magician beside him laughed, full of ease and joy.

With a "snap", he clapped his hands with the blushing goddess, completing the curtain call of this little prank.

"Did King Gilgamesh tell you?" Shyness did not come until then. Ailei looked at the body of Ishtar, the mistress of the sky, and then looked at Shuoyue, who had no surprise, and said softly.

"Of course not, why do I need others to tell me about your affairs?" Shuoyue responded with a smile, "Look, I invited you, and you came here at the invitation. The communication between the two of us does not need other people to remind us."

"That kind of message, how can it be considered an invitation..." Ailei muttered, but when she thought that she really came to Uruk as Shuoyue wished, she felt a little complicated.

I always feel like I'm being played around by Shuoyue.

The goddess subconsciously picked up the wine glass and used the wine in the glass to hide the shame in her eyes.

"Okay, cook, let's talk about the love with the goddess later." Gilgamesh didn't want to be filled with dog food, he knocked on the table, "Don't forget why I agreed to this celebration."

"That being said, where is my butter cake?" Shuoyue glanced back, not to be outdone, "Don't forget why I came to Uruk."

As soon as the voice fell, the elegant lady stepped onto the high platform, holding the delicacy that Shuoyue had been thinking about day and night.

"I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while in order to preside over the ceremony of worshiping the goddess Ishtar...ah, Lady Ishtar?!"

"Okay, thank you~" Shuoyue reached out and took the cake from the dumbfounded Siduri, and poked Ailei, "Your priest is right in front of you, don't you want to say something, Miss Ishtar?"

Really, you know I'm not good at dealing with this kind of situation... Ailei glanced at him with a reproachful look, clenched her fist, put it to her mouth and coughed lightly. Just as she was about to speak, Siduri had already put away the surprise on her face, and bowed while regaining her composure.

"Excuse me, it turns out to be the goddess Eleskigal?"

Discovered?

Ailei was stunned. She thought that only she knew the characteristics that could replace Ishtar at night, but now it seems that everyone seems to know this matter?

"I told Siduri about this." Gilgamesh raised his hand lazily, with a playful smile on his face, "Goddess, you don't want to be treated as that woman, do you?"

"Humph, that's true." Ailei picked up a spoon, scooped up a piece of cake, and put it into her mouth elegantly, "Only Ishtar, I don't want to touch anything of hers."

"Ailei, this is my cake..."

"Of course, if it's my sacrifice--" The goddess looked back at Shuoyue, revealing an extremely bright smile, which made him lose his mind for a long time.

"Then his bones, flesh, and everything will belong to me, and only to me."

Surprised.

Shuoyue never thought that the always gloomy Ailei would declare her sovereignty so openly. Is it because she occupies Ishtar's body, or is it simply because she is unwilling to abandon the reservedness of the goddess under the gaze of others?

Facing the young man's inquiring eyes, Ai Lei's face became more and more red under the firelight. She held up the wine glass with her slender white palm, tilted her neck and drank it all, then slapped it on the table and said proudly:

"Another glass!"

"..."

Okay, the case is solved.

Ai Lei, how much wine did you drink when I wasn't paying attention? !

Shuoyue looked at the wise king, and Gilgamesh seemed innocent, but in fact he secretly handed the empty wine pot to Amakusa. Amakusa smiled awkwardly but politely, and under Shuoyue's death gaze, he hid the wine pot deeper behind his back, deeper...

"Forget it, Miss Siduri, take good care of Ai Lei for me." Shuoyue sighed and stood up, "I'll go prepare dinner."

Just as she stood up, her robe was pulled by a strong force.

"Where are you going?" The goddess's eyes were dim, and the flames of the celebration moved from the square to her eyes, and it seemed to ignite Shuoyue's heart.

"Um, cooking?"

"I think I've said that, haven't I?" As if she was not satisfied with the hem of her clothes that was so close, Ailei simply stood up and moved closer to Shuoyue, her breath smelling like orchids... no, it would be more appropriate to say that it smelled like the fragrance of wheat.

In the slight dizziness brought by the smell of alcohol, Shuoyue heard Ailei's whisper.

"You are mine, and only mine."

The gun cage appeared in the goddess's hand at some point. As Ailei shook, the spiritual fire of the underworld rose, and the spirit of Garula swarmed out like the most loyal servants, opening the door to the mistress and her sacrifice to go home.

"Also, you don't think that what I said was just a joke, do you?"

The drunk goddess grabbed Shuoyue's arm, and after saying the last sentence, she pulled him and herself into the underworld.

"The things that this goddess likes from the bottom of her heart will be kept in the underworld for you to enjoy!"

The goddess' divine power appeared and dissipated. At the last moment of returning, the Garula spirits bowed to the stunned crowd, retreated into the door like elegant butlers, and then disappeared.

It was quiet on the platform. After a long time, Gilgamesh came back to his senses from the sudden super development. He slapped the table and gritted his teeth.

"It's absurd, that guy..."

"Indeed, I didn't expect the goddess to get drunk, and when she was drunk, she actually kidnapped her own sacrifice..." Amakusa smiled bitterly, but found that Gilgamesh's eyes moved to him, very unhappy.

"Is the king talking about the goddess Eleshkigal?"

"Eh?"

"Stupid, the king is scolding the cook Shuoyue!" Jin Shanshan was furious, "How dare he stand me up! Where is the dinner party? Does he want to entertain me in the underworld?"

"So, is that the case..." Tiancao wiped the cold sweat and looked at Xiduri, both of them noticed the same speechlessness in each other's eyes.

My king, is your focus wrong?
