Becoming Your God (VII)

The ball was held for three days but Shang Ke did not follow along on the second day, because Yitamo and Tima were finally formally introduced to each other. The following ball dances, Tima would be his designated dance partner.

Shang Ke's objective was to make opportunities for them to interact with each other as much as possible, not to be the third wheel. The Shu Clansmen also had their own mission, and that was to head out and set up their stall, sell some finely made objects, special desserts, small handiworks, and so on. They could get used to the environment as they earned money.

The elders of the Shu Clan did not wish for their young clansmen to live forever within the forests of the mountain. They should come out to gain experiences when given the chance. They were not aspiring for a relationship with the Yu Empire through marriage to the Prince, they only wished to get permission for their clansmen to come to the empire and develop themselves.

In this lifetime, they have Yitamo and the War God's approval, Shang Ke was sure that they would obtain their wish in advance. As for being related to the Royal Family through marriage, if it's meant to be, it will happen, but if it isn't they don't need to force it either. Although this world has the concept of arranged marriages and marrying within your status, most people still wanted the freedom to choose who to love. This was also the reason why Love God Neil was so strong. In the chaotic era of war when the Evil God ran amuck on the continent, who knows just which corner of the world this Love God was in, planting apples. Based on seniority, the Evil God was older than him by who-knows-how-many generations, but that guy did not know how to respect his elders at all. The Love God completely treated him as a love-deprived god in poverty, and would hang around him from time to time.

In addition, Lord War God has been turning up uninvited all the time these past two days. You can glorify it by calling it supervising, but who doesn't know that it was because he just had too much time on his hands? In the era of peace, the War God does not have many places to use his abilities, so he could only sleep previously. That ended when the aura of a certain Evil God accidentally woke him up.

Ever since they met face to face, Shang Ke was almost certain that he was his man. However, he did not want to develop their relationship beyond companionship while there was such a disparity in their strength and ambiguity in their identity as enemies.

However, their feelings haven't even been developed yet when that guy already cultivated the skill of shredding his clothes in a second. No matter what he wore, they would all be mercilessly peeled off. The only things that couldn't be peeled off was his true mask and the animal hide skirt... 

Right as he was thinking about that, Shang Ke saw Yitamo holding Tima's hand and leading her into a carriage. The two of them were talking cheerfully and seemed to be getting along well.

"Neil, look at them, aren't they quite well matched?" Shang Ke asked Neil who was lying on a branch.

Neil slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the two and mildly answered, "They are quite well matched as friends."

Shang Ke seriously questioned him, "Friends? They don't have the pink aura of romance on them?"

"There is one." But it was not targeted at each other. Neil was also somewhat puzzled by this, Tima adoring her god was very normal, but why did Yitamo, who had never experienced any romantic feelings before, suddenly have a pink aura floating from his body towards the Little Mask next to him, after interacting with Tima for a few days.

Neil scrutinized Shang Ke.

Shang Ke: (¬︶¬) What?

Neil: ...Fine, he will admit, Little Mask's charm of getting onto the good side of people isn't something a normal human or god can resist.
