Heroic Death System (Bl)

⁹°⁶

"You can stay in the Yi Empire, but you have to accept me monitoring your every move."

The War God finished having his fun, and left right after saying this.

Shang Ke's mask expressed the joy he felt, '╰(*＾▽＾*)╯.'

Neil had appeared next to him at some point. He asked, "You're still happy despite having to be monitored?"

Shang Ke gave him a glance, '(﹁"﹁).' 'You don't understand this. He was the Evil God who locked horns with the War God as well as other gods for hundreds of years, but he hadn't been exterminated and he was given the opportunity to turn over a new leaf. This was a rare opportunity.'

Since this was a good start, he was in a good mood. Therefore, he didn't care that the expressions on his mask varied more than it usually did. He waved goodbye to the dumbfounded Love God and drifted back to his room feeling like he was on cloud nine.

Three days later, the selection ceremony for the imperial concubine was held. The Shu Clan had carefully prepared themselves before they escorted Tima to the ceremony. Shang Ke turned into his spirit form to join her during the ceremony.

In order to ensure that Tima emerged victorious, the previous Evil God had secretly cursed the other participants so they ended up seriously injured or ill. The curse didn't affect every participant as some believed in powerful gods that could neutralize the effects of the curse. Some of these powerful gods were the Light God who was at the same level as the War God, the Healing God who was powerful in restoring health, and the Death God who had darkness attributes. However, the Death God would not willingly enter the land of light.

At the entrance to the banquet, Tima removed her mask and presented her invitation to the servant who was receiving the guests.

The servant's eyes held immense surprise when he noticed her appearance. He inspected the invitation before he bowed and waved her inside.

She lifted her dress and gracefully walked along the red carpet towards the hall. Her heart pounded and her hands sweated. She felt the urge to leave when she felt more and more people's eyes on her.

Although Shang Ke had helped her build up her courage and confidence, she had never experienced anything so grand. It was inevitable that she would be somewhat timid.

"Don't feel nervous. Just treat them the way you treat plants and flowers." Shang Ke told her as he floated towards Tima's side. He looked like a man that was on patrol. It was a pity that mortals could not hear him except for in their sleep.

Thus, Tima did not hear his advice and she became more anxious instead as she entered the hall.

Shang Ke continued to cheer her up by commenting on another girl's weight, another girl's prettiness, another girl's undignified laughing style, another girl's messy haircut, and so on.

However, the cold sweat on Tima flowed heavily like a river.

"Pfft." Laughter sounded on the side.

Shang Ke turned his head in that direction. He noticed Neil wearing a gorgeous outfit not too far away. He was holding a wine glass in his hands.

Neil was a god with a physical body and this made it possible for him to interact with mortals and flaunt his beauty.

Shang Ke drifted towards him and poked Neil's waist with his elbow. "Help me with something."

"What do you need?" Neil asked as he smiled.

"Ask Tima for a dance later. This is her first time at a ball and she doesn't have any experience."
