Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2301 - 1029: Will You Marry Me? (Part 2)

The two were talking, and their pace up the mountain didn’t slow much.

Everyone says they’re friends, but true friendship starts with open conversations and delving into one’s psyche.

Previously, San Miyairi saw Lin Baici through a filter, as a person from Jiuzhou, the youngest of the Nine Provinces Dragon Wing, strong, tall, and handsome...

San Miyairi appreciated these titles, but now, she’s beginning to admire Lin Baici’s inner qualities.

In the past, San Miyairi wouldn’t mind getting intimate with Lin Baici, purely driven by interest; but now, it’s purely out of affection.

They climbed along a small path on the back of the mountain, reaching a towering cliff.

Ahead was a garden filled with flowers and trees. Passing through it, the tea house lay to the right, beyond which was the imperial residence of Dragon Palace Island.

This is where the Dragon Princess resides.

The two jumped down, ran through the courtyard, and entered the tea house.

The structures here were all wooden.

Lin Baici saw a long house with large open spaces on both sides, lined with several archery targets.

A priestess in an archery outfit was practicing with a large bow.

Upon hearing footsteps, she immediately looked over.

Upon seeing Lin Baici and San Miyairi, the priestess instantly nocked an arrow and released it.

Boom!

The bowstring trembled as the arrow shot straight towards Lin Baici.

Lin Baici swung his sword, deflecting the arrow, and began an accelerated charge.

The priestess remained calm as Lin Baici charged like a beast, swiftly retrieving three arrows from the quiver at her waist.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

She fired three arrows in rapid succession, faster than an assault rifle.

Swish!

Lin Baici teleported, disappearing into the air, and the next moment, he appeared behind the priestess, slashing with his Bronze Sword!

Meat Shattering Strike!

Swish!

The Bronze Sword was so fast, it left no afterimage, like a green-blue lightning bolt.

The priestess pivoted gracefully on her toes, seemingly slow, yet she deftly evaded Lin Baici’s strike.

During this move, she nocked another arrow.

Elegant! Composed!

The priestess, with a steady expression, aimed for Lin Baici’s right eye socket and released an arrow.

Boom!

Lin Baici teleported again, but this time as he reappeared, the priestess mimicked drawing her bow without nocking an arrow.

Boom!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The arrows on the ground, on the targets, and in the nearby quivers all moved as if by an unseen force, shooting towards Lin Baici.

This priestess was powerful, instantly realizing Lin Baici was a formidable opponent, so she unleashed her full firepower.

Aim to kill one completely first, then contend with the other.

Swish!

Lin Baici teleported once more, but upon reappearing, the arrows curved midair, homing in on him like guided missiles.

Puff! Puff!

Two arrows pinned into Lin Baici; had he not quickly activated his Steel Body, they would have pierced through.

Swish!

Lin Baici teleported again.

Appearing this time, he didn’t even see the priestess as an arrow, swift as a meteor streaking through the summer night sky, came shooting towards him.

Too fast!

Puff!

The arrow penetrated Lin Baici’s skull.

With a successful shot, the priestess turned her gaze to San Miyairi.

Boom!

A giant fox sprang upright from the wooden floor.

The priestess dodged, but the fox’s five tails suddenly extended rapidly, ensnaring her, and then with a gulp, swallowed her whole.

Ninja Technique - Fox Fire!

The giant fox burst into flames, and naturally, the priestess it had swallowed was caught in the fire.

The fox resembled an Alchemy Furnace, trapping the priestess within, unable to escape the scorching fox fire.

"Lord Lin, how are you?"

San Miyairi took out a little bell, dancing while glancing at the corpse on the ground.

She knew Lin Baici couldn’t die so easily.

Sure enough, Lin Baici emerged from the ground where the targets were, as if sprouting like a seedling.

"You’re not planning to hold back anymore?"

Lin Baici realized there was no escaping, so he activated Nuwa Creation, using a clone to feign death, intending to ambush the priestess, never expecting San Miyairi to be this strong.

"The Dragon Princess’s residence is just ahead, so the pollution intensity here is very high. If we keep holding back, we’ll die!"

San Miyairi stared at the big fox: "Besides, you... you are worth my all-out effort!"

Lin Baici and the others landed on the island to support me, treating me like a friend. If I continued to shirk and be sneaky, that would be inhumane.

To be honest, my Great Divine Grace did not miss, all thanks to Lin Baici distracting the priestess.

If I had missed that opportunity just now, it would have definitely turned into a tough battle!

The big fox burned away, leaving some black ashes that scattered with the wind.

Plop,

The longbow the priestess used fell to the ground.

It wasn’t burned by the foxfire, evidently a piece of Taboo things.

San Miyairi saw that Lin Baici didn’t pick it up but walked straight ahead, so she quickly ran over and picked up the longbow.

"Hey!"

San Miyairi caught up with Lin Baici and handed him the longbow: "Your trophy!"

"You don’t want it?"

Lin Baici scrutinized the longbow.

In God’s ruins, weapon-type Taboo things rarely appear, and there aren’t many ranged weapons, so the value of this bow is very high.

Lin Baici didn’t like bow-type weapons. To shoot accurately, one must practice diligently, and Lin Baici didn’t have the patience for that.

He would rather wield a weapon and go forward with Steel Body to hack down enemies.

Besides, this longbow is too feminine, clearly something used by Dongying women.

"Can’t let you make the trip for nothing!"

San Miyairi felt apologetic.

"Haha!"

Lin Baici chuckled and quickened his pace.

He thought to himself, if you let me eat the Dragon Princess, I won’t have come for nothing.

San Miyairi slung the longbow on her back, took a few quick steps, and caught up with Lin Baici.

She no longer worried about the distribution of trophies.

Because she had already decided not to ill-treat Lin Baici.

Whatever she had, if Lin Baici wanted it, she would give it to him.

The two moved swiftly forward, and the surrounding was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

This rule pollution had no shortcut trick; the only solution was to fight.

Because the God Hunters who made it here were already battered and exhausted by the previous rounds of rule pollution.

For combat-type pollution, it was sheer strength that mattered.

If you’re not strong enough, even a brilliant mind won’t help.

Suzuka Momoka had told San Miyairi everything about the Dragon Palace, so the two of them avoided a lot of rule pollution, and even those they did encounter, due to Lin Baici’s strength, resulted in no loss. By the time they reached the teahouse, their combat effectiveness was virtually intact.

Lin Baici and San Miyairi were both combat geniuses, able to seize opportunities, unleash their trump cards, and decide victory or defeat with one hit.

"Lord Lin, we must be extra cautious now, or we could face a setback!"

San Miyairi’s words were more a reminder to herself than to Lin Baici.

They couldn’t drop their guard just because they had Suzuka Momoka’s intel.

"The upcoming pollution is likely all combat type, especially the Dragon Princess’s level, which will definitely be bloody and brutal!"

San Miyairi pondered, her brows furrowed.

Where did Tachibana Chihitomi go?

Killed by the Dragon Princess?

Or hiding somewhere, waiting like a mantis stalking a cicada, to finally pounce and claim it all alone?

They left the teahouse and crossed a stone-paved courtyard to reach the main hall.

The intricately carved and painted doors of the main hall were tightly closed.

Lin Baici didn’t wait but went straight ahead to push the door open.

Creak!

The doors opened.

Inside, the space was vast, and the most striking were the two samurai statues guarding the corridor.

They wore full armor, one red and one black, with two katanas at their waists, and they stood three meters tall, appearing as two small iron giants.

In a video game, they’d definitely be mini-boss-level figures.

"Across that corridor is the Dragon Princess’s sleeping quarters!"

San Miyairi was visibly excited. These two samurai were constant guards for the Dragon Princess, and their presence confirmed she was here.

This trip was not in vain.

Swish! Swish!

The two armored samurai opened their eyes, focused on Lin Baici and San Miyairi, then drew the great heavy swords from their waists.

"Must we kill them to pass?"

Lin Baici took a deep breath.

"No need, Momoka said that as long as we make it through the corridor and enter the inner chambers, they won’t dare pursue!"

San Miyairi spoke and lifted her foot to step over the threshold.

"Wait!"
