Chapter 278: What Happened Back Then?
Xiu Wu had no intention of hiding anything from her, so he nodded and said, "Mhm. When I was born, only one goddess was born at the same time as me. At that time, the eleven ancient gods had not yet been born. Therefore, I knew every god and goddess born after me and her."
Zhu Lin heard what he said and thought: ’Did he just say the Eleven Ancient Gods and not the Twelve Ancient Gods? Could it be that the goddess who was born at the same time as him was one of the twelve ancient gods?’
After a few seconds, she frowned slightly and thought: ’Since one of the Twelve Ancient Gods was born at the same time as Xiu Wu, why does she want to kill him? What happened back then that made the Twelve Ancient Gods so determined to kill the Devil God, even at the cost of their primordial souls?’
Seeing Zhu Lin deep in thought, Xiu Wu reached out to hold her hand and was surprised to find that her hands were cold. He frowned, covered her cold hands with his warm hands, and asked worriedly: "Lin’er, what’s wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Why are your hands so cold?"
Hearing his concerned voice, Zhu Lin came back from her thoughts. She shook her head and said, "I’m fine. I just have something on my mind."
Seeing that Xiu Wu didn’t believe her words, Zhu Lin smiled at him and said, "You know, I can’t lie."
After she said that, Xiu Wu looked at her silently. Looking at his worried eyes, she stretched out her hand to smooth the deep frown between his eyebrows and said, "If you are still worried about me, how about you check it yourself later?"
Lu Qiu, who was sitting in front of the two of them, suddenly choked on his saliva as soon as he heard Zhu Lin’s words.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
