"It's already been three months, and he is still blocking the entrance. The Void Mask is really rather patient and determined!" The Hyacinth Goddess sighed.
Upon hearing this, the Clover Goddess sneered and replied, "Everyone knows the Void Mask protects the marginalized. Previously, when the God of Storms ordered the sea people to kill Leon, the Void Mask killed two gods in anger, and the whole pantheon was extremely shocked. Afterwards, many of his biggest wars were also to protect his own people. In particular, the battle with the Alliance of Evil gods as well as the Fear God system was also to take care of his subordinates. Being such a person, it comes as no surprise that he is standing his ground in a situation like this."
The gods all nodded in agreement. All along, Sui Xiong had been known for doing things with his heart, although not without reason, and going all out, especially for those who he wanted to protect.
Furthermore, he was in the right in this situation; thus, he would definitely not back down easily.
This whole problem was the Goddess of Love's fault.
"I think you should just put away your pride and accommodate him in this matter. Looking at his current stance, I can bet you that he'd be willing to wait not just three months or three years but maybe even thirty years.... As long as you refuse to accede his request, he will continue to bide his time for the next hundred or thousand years till you admit that you are wrong, " the Rose Goddess, dressed up like a street rogue, advised the Goddess of Love.
"Well, he can continue waiting for the next hundred or thousand years then!" the Goddess of Love replied moodily.
"I've never seen such a stubborn person before. He was courteous to you at the start, do you think he's easy to bully? If you continue to act in this manner, after Leon and Kalisa's wedding, I can bet he will give you a good beating!" the Clover Goddess chuckled coldly and spoke up in a hostile manner.
"Please! Even before the wedding ends, this silly wretch will be dead!" The Hyacinth Goddess sighed.
"Hey! Exactly whose side are you on now?" The Goddess of Love was getting increasingly riled up.
"Rubbish! If I didn't plan on helping you, I wouldn't have come all the way to talk to you! You think it's fun for me to risk angering the Void Mask? I'm not like you!" the Clover Goddess retorted.
The Goddess of Love was momentarily stunned. After all, while she could be a little indifferent sometimes, she was still able to ascertain between right and wrong.
The gods had almost been fully mobilized to help her out this time. Everyone had taken turns to negotiate with the Void Mask as well as to give her advice. They had done so despite the risks of angering the Void Mask who could easily destroy not just the Goddess of Love but also the three other goddesses in the Flame of Passion.
Previously, the Clover Goddess also did not have a very good relationship with him. The only reason why she was willing to help with the negotiations here was because her Master God, the Goddess of Fortune had strictly ordered her to. Although both were considered gods from the Fortune Realm, the Goddess of Fortune could influence the entire population's luck, while the Clover Goddess specialized in increasing or decreasing the influence of a particular event on individuals or giving individuals specific blessings over a short period of time. At this point in time, the Goddess of Fortune felt that the Goddess of Love really needed such a blessing. Even if it couldn't make her magically clever, it could at least change her luck for the better and perhaps change her stubborn mind. After all, if logic couldn't get her to see the error of her ways, maybe luck could.
The tragic thing was that the Clover Goddess' blessing seemed to have little impact on the Goddess of Love. Not only did she not change her mind, she even started to overthink.
The Goddess of Love closed her eyes and started to use her powers as well as the added blessing to psychoanalyze Sui Xiong in her head.
The Void Mask's level of passion and commitment to the wedding is certainly unusual! He must have special feelings for the couple!
She kept all these thoughts in her head as she knew that the three goddesses would beat her up if she voiced them aloud
Previously, when she had first regained normalcy from her "fireball" status, she had gotten a severe beating from the Goddess of Joy and Goddess of Fortune. Only the Goddess of Lavender had taken a step back, and this was not due to her lack of anger but rather because she felt that her powers were too limited against the Goddess of Love's thick skin. Instead, she chose to bestow some powers onto the two goddesses doing the beating, allowing their fists to be heavier and their punches to be stronger.
In the end, when the two goddesses had finally finished venting their anger, the Goddess of Love's beautiful face was left with many severe scars and bruises.
After such a beating, the Goddess of Love should have learned her lesson. However, regretfully, she did not.
Now, her brain was starting to come up with stupid and weird ideas again.
Ah, I no longer have any way to control the Void Mask's romantic situation.... But I can test Leon Igor's!
At that moment, Leon was reviewing some documents, and he felt his heartbeat irregularly for a second as if someone was watching him. He immediately used a strong magic prop to protect himself.
However, the feeling of being watched did not diminish one bit.
"I used a legendary magic prop, and it still did not work?" Leon was shocked and decided to act without hesitation. He rubbed a ring on his right hand and teleported to Garth City, the Church of the Void Mask.
This was probably one of the safest places in the entire city as it was personally built by the Void Mask. If even this place couldn't shield against the prying spell on him, he would have to approach the lord for help.
This move succeeded as once Leon ducked into the church, its protection on top of his magic prop strengthened his body and prevented the Goddess of Love from further spying.
Shucks! His reaction is too fast!
The Goddess of Love had barely started to pry and was already discovered. Thus, she had not been able to assess his love situation properly before Leon defended himself. This made her feel extremely displeased, and only her companion's potential scolding stopped her from voicing her displeasure out loud.
Where did the Void Mask find someone like Leon? He's remarkably observant!
After venting to herself, the Goddess of Love had decided to try again and cast her gaze onto Kalisa.
This time, she had managed to remain undiscovered as Kalisa's powers were much weaker as compared to Leon. She was a city lord and had never really trained her powers. Rather, she had always relied on Sui Xiong's grace to maintain a certain level of skill. She could be labeled as a "parallel import."
Using Sui Xiong's professional system, she could be labeled as being a level-ten beauty, level-four leader and with an added level of being a wizard. With these fifteen levels, she had managed to scrape into the advanced level of society. If one could count being a beauty as a job, that is.
If she were to be involved in a fight, she would probably be able to assume a large body to fight novice adventurers. However, if she were to fight against experienced veterans, even those who were not mid-legendary level, it would not be a guaranteed victory.
Of course, one could not deny her beauty. She was one of the rare people in this world who reached level ten for this title. This was something that the Goddess of Love quickly observed when she pried into Kalisa's heart.
The Goddess of Love also realized that Kalisa only had one true love, Leon, who took up most of her heart. The remaining little space was mostly filled by the Void Mask.
What a traitor, given the amount of generosity the Void Mask has had towards her!
The Goddess of Love shook her head as an idea suddenly came to her. This lovesick Kalisa really fit her personal doctrine!
