Chapter 207.2: No-Food Goddess
At the foot of the Heavenly Pillar, Qi Yuan stopped before a lake.
A lush, verdant bamboo cottage stood in the distance. Within its courtyard, a red-robed woman gently plucked the strings of a jade zither. Her hair was unadorned, while her face bare, yet her unique aura could not be concealed.
The gentle music flowed like water, without any discernible rhythm.
"So that's No-Food Goddess? And here I thought she'd be underdeveloped because she eats nothing. After the Heavenly Pillar collapses, she dies holding off the being above True God. All her remaining divine power turns into countless treasures, giving the world a chance to ascend to the True God realm. Is it as selfless as it sounds, or is it some grand conspiracy?” Qi Yuan murmured to himself as he watched her.
Twang.
A string on the zither snapped. A trace of complex emotion appeared within her calm eyes, which resembled a well.
"Since you're here," she said softly, her voice akin to jade splashed by spring water. "Why not come in and sit for a while?"
Qi Yuan froze. There was nothing strange about hearing her voice. His ears could pick up even the slightest sound nearby. However, she could also hear him?
Qi Yuan inadvertently asked, "Are you talking to me? How can you hear me? Did your ears mutate too?"
He was genuinely curious.
No-Food Goddess murmured something, "Mhm..."
Her voice came through in fragments and he only caught a faint mumbling sound.
