Chapter 880: 747, The characteristic that can be eaten_1
The Life Goddess sat up straight, one hand on her waist, her belly unusually swollen.
Yesterday, to borrow the Dragon Pillar from Lin Yi to chase the Rakshasa God, she had agreed to swallow Little Golden Crocodile into her stomach.
The reward was such that as long as someone swallowed Little Golden Crocodile, it would acquire a certain trait of theirs after spending a whole day in their stomach.
Thus, the Life Goddess volunteered to be the test subject.
In fact, she also wanted to experience what it felt like to be pregnant.
Now, feeling something unusual in her belly, it should be time for... no, the Life Goddess recalled what Lin Yi had explained the day before, it wasn't time to give birth, but to vomit.
After all, to be accurate, she had eaten this child.
The Life Goddess, leaning against a tree trunk, got to her feet. She suddenly smiled wistfully, realizing that being pregnant indeed was a rather tedious affair, unable to do anything with a big belly. It was just as well she could communicate with the little one inside her. Otherwise, she imagined human mothers, unable to communicate with their unborn children, must be bored to death.
The Life Goddess suddenly couldn't figure out why, despite the hassle of pregnancy, humans still persevered with it.
If Lin Yi were to explain, his answer might be that condoms hadn't been invented in Soul Land yet.
As she prepared to descend to the lower realm, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the Life Goddess, the Destruction God.
This being, enveloped in a purple glow, stepped forward somewhat awkwardly, "I... I'll accompany you down?"
Without speaking or even glancing at the Destruction God, the Life Goddess walked around him. She remembered the promise she had made to Lin Yi; how could she break her word?
She brushed past the Destruction God, but he caught her arm, only to be shaken off immediately by the Life Goddess.
"I've told you, our relationship isn't what it was before. Please keep your distance. I've had enough of everything you've done over the years, all your tempers; I don't want to tolerate it anymore."
The Life Goddess glared at the Destruction God and walked on alone, while the Destruction God remained in place, watching her leave before silently following at a distance, keeping his gaze on her but not getting close.
Since the Life Goddess stopped paying him any attention, he had changed a lot.
Soul City.
Lin Yi and the others awaited the arrival of the Life Goddess. Soon, a green and gold light pillar descended from the sky, and a figure gradually emerged from within.
Everyone was astonished to see the Life Goddess step out, her belly far larger than the day before. Some men with peculiar fetishes felt a surge of excitement at the sight, their imaginations running wild.
"So you've all been waiting for me. Good, I'll spit it out now... that's right, isn't it?"
The Life Goddess double-checked with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, just think of what you want to do, and spitting him out will be just as natural as when you swallowed him yesterday."
The Life Goddess followed his instructions, opened her cherry lips, and a one-meter-long baby indeed came spitting out of her mouth.
Little Golden Crocodile thudded onto the ground, shaking his head as though nothing had happened, only to scratch his head and try to stand, looking as if he couldn't walk, and falling over again. The Life Goddess watched him, puzzled, unsure whether she should help her son up or not.
After calming down a bit, Little Golden Crocodile ran to Thousand Waves, crying, and pointed at the Life Goddess, "Big brother, she abused me!"
Thousand Waves slapped Little Golden Crocodile's head with an embarrassed expression, "Don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, he turned to the Life Goddess with an apologetic smile, "Kids don't know any better, please forgive him."
But Little Golden Crocodile sat on the ground, hoisting both legs onto his shoulders and squishing his body into a ball. Then, he turned to Thousand Waves, "That's how it was, she put me in a very tight space, I could only keep this position to avoid discomfort."
The Life Goddess tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Indeed, I didn't know what it was like inside..."
Thousand Waves hurriedly waved his hands, "No worries, no worries. This little rascal is always up to mischief; it's good enough that he didn't cause trouble inside your stomach."
Little Golden Crocodile, picking his nose, said, "Nope, I just farted."
The Life Goddess's face stiffened.
She suddenly remembered belching a strangely flavored burp last night and couldn't help bending over to retch.
No wonder! She never burps!
The Life Goddess, who had never been pregnant, even thought this was normal!
Seeing the Life Goddess looking like she was about to collapse, Thousand Waves immediately angrily grabbed Little Golden Crocodile by the collar and started spanking him hard, "You little ...! You're a disgrace to the Martial Soul Hall!"
"You farted inside there?! That's inside a god's body, where countless men only dream of entering without ever finding a way, and you had the chance and still didn't cherish it?!"
That sounded weird, and the Life Goddess, frowning, waved her hand as she walked away, "I am feeling unwell and must leave, farewell."
Her body was quickly enveloped by a green and gold pillar of light.
Seeing the deity leave, Thousand Waves put Little Golden Crocodile down and then stealthily gave him a thumbs-up in silence, "Good kid, impressive! I wouldn't even dare think of doing that."
Yet Little Golden Crocodile was crying loudly, confused by his elder brother's behavior. It was him who was uncomfortable, so why was he getting spanked?
Annoyed by the crying, Thousand Waves immediately handed over a lollipop, and Little Golden Crocodile stopped his tears.
Thousand Waves asked, "You were eaten by her, so what abilities did you gain in the end?"
Little Golden Crocodile, licking the lollipop, replied, "Don't know."
"What?!"
Thousand Waves nearly choked with anger, "Did this guy really treat it like a vacation? Shouldering such an important task and coming back with 'don't know'?!"
Lin Yi said, "Life is endless."
Hearing the voice from the stage, Thousand Waves looked over in surprise and repeated as if he hadn't heard clearly, "Life ... life is endless? Does that mean this little guy is now immortal?"
Lin Yi nodded.
In fact, even he hadn't expected Little Golden Crocodile to gain such an ability.
Before this, Little Golden Crocodile was already the person with the longest lifespan among those present and could even live until Soul Land IV with Lin Yi.
Upon hearing this, Thousand Waves silently squatted down, his expression complex as he watched Little Golden Crocodile, who was focused on his lollipop.
"This reward might not necessarily be one for my second brother. I think it's more like a curse. Immortality for one, and in the end, he'll be all alone."
But Little Golden Crocodile continued to lick his lollipop, not paying much heed.
Lin Yi said, "Let's talk about future things in the future. You still have the chance to accompany him for a longer time, why think about such distant matters?"
Thousand Waves nodded, "That's true."
After saying that, he picked up Little Golden Crocodile and threw him onto the stage, shouting, "Attack!"
