Chapter 10: Battle between the Mold Gods
A sharp blue light flashed before my eyes, and my nightgown suddenly swayed and was lifted up.
Sora dodged it deftly, twisting his body in an extremely difficult move, but my vase was not so lucky. It was hit and broke into pieces.
Although I regard money as external things, the broken vase is a cultural relic that my patriotic parents bought from abroad with great difficulty. How could it be broken like this?
"Sora, today I will have a good competition with you to see who is more qualified to be promoted to the official God of Mold!" As soon as Lan Cang said this, a circular formation immediately rose from his right hand, flashing a compelling blue light. Although I don't understand their fighting techniques, it's really jaw-dropping that he can even emit light from his hands.
"I'm not competing with you to become an official Unlucky God. I just want Asa Moli's luck value." Sora was determined about the purpose of this battle, and his eyes were determined.
Blue light suddenly burst out from Lan Cang's hand, and the aperture suddenly became larger and larger. When it flew in front of Sora, it had become as tall as him.
I was just worrying about Sora, when suddenly a blinding white light burst out. Sora stretched out his hands and caught the huge blue halo!
I was so scared that I covered my mouth and almost yelled. Sora's face was illuminated blue by the halo, which actually looked a little creepy.
Suddenly, there was a loud "rustling" sound in the room. I looked over in surprise. Wherever the blue light passed, the tables and chairs were all broken into pieces and scattered all over the floor. Even the handmade Persian carpet on the floor was cut into several pieces, and the wool was flying everywhere.
Lan Cang wasn't sparring with Sora at all, he clearly wanted to kill him!
But he knew very well that Sora had just transferred lucky energy to me and my body was very weak. Not only did he not let him go, he also used such a deadly trick. It was really despicable!
Seeing Sora's arms shaking more and more while holding up the blue halo, my heart was also tightening. My sight fell on the table leg that was cut off by the blue light, and my blood suddenly boiled. I leaned over and lifted the table leg, using all my strength to lift it up, jumped behind Lan Cang, and hit the back of his head hard, while doing so I shouted loudly: "Lan Cang, this time I am avenging myself!"
The table leg shook violently in my hand. Lan Cang's energy was too strong, and I didn't even hit him. Instead, I was knocked back by him, along with the stick.
With a "bang", my back hit the wall violently, and I felt a sharp pain as if it was broken.
Lan Cang was startled by my sudden intrusion. He suddenly turned around, stared at me with angry eyes, clenched his fists, and after enduring for a while, he suddenly decided to attack me. I was so scared that I stepped back repeatedly, muttering: "You...knocked me out...in the playground...I..."
I couldn't see the kind of emotions that humans have in Lan Cang's eyes. I could only see utilitarianism and desire. Talking to him rationally was a bit like speaking human language to a wild beast. After understanding this truth, I was so scared that I was shaking like a sieve.
"Lan Cang, your opponent is me!" Along with an angry shout, I heard a "crackling" sound, and saw Sora's hands pushed forward hard, and the blue halo was broken, but the fragments of the halo were like broken glass, scattering randomly, directly scratching Sora's robe.
But Lan Cang didn't take Sola's words seriously at all. When he saw Sola broke his blue halo, he glared at me even more angrily and raised his hand to hit me.
"Lan Cang, the God of Mold cannot harm humans. Have you forgotten?"
At the critical moment, Ke Teng, who had been standing aside without making a sound, suddenly stood in front of me, stretched out his arms to stop me, and yelled at Lan Cang in a stern voice.
"Hmph, the premise is that humans cannot offend God!" Lan Cang said contemptuously, and took another step closer to me.
Seeing him so arrogant, Ke Teng stretched out his arms to protect me behind him, stared at Lan Cang bravely and said: "If you want to touch humans, you must defeat me first, and the gods will do justice for me!"
I instantly felt awe for Ke Teng. If he hadn't stopped Lan Cang, I would probably have been dead long ago.
"You, a mere trainee who is less than a hundred years old, dare to stop me?" Lan Cang was completely enraged.
"Well, I'm almost four hundred years old. Can I stop you? If you hadn't harmed me, I wouldn't have to come to the human world to complete my mission. Now that I'm here thanks to you, I can't let you do whatever you want!" Sora quickly stood in front of Keten and protected him as he confronted Lan Cang.
I suddenly realized that Sora was a loyal and righteous god, and I was actually touched. Keten took the opportunity to tug at my clothes, motioning me to hide with him.
I knew I couldn't help and would only cause more trouble. Although I felt sad, I could only follow Ke Teng into another room.
The moment I closed the door, my heart sank. I grabbed Keten's clothes helplessly and asked, "Keten, is Sora okay?"
Ke Teng thought about it for a while but still had no clue, so he immediately took out a calculator and notebook from his trouser pocket and started calculating seriously.
My heart sank when I saw him acting like this. I knew he couldn't help, and I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"I've never seen you so worried about Lord Sora before." Seeing me walking around the room, Keten finally couldn't help but ask me.
I became even more panicked by his question. I didn't want to admit that I was worried about Sora, so I just made up a lie: "No, the furniture in Moli Castle is very expensive. I was afraid that they would break it!"
Ke Teng thought what I said made sense and nodded.
But I couldn't feel at ease. The crackling sound of something breaking outside made me even more uneasy.
Lan Cang is cruel and ruthless, without any emotions, but Sora is different. Although he is lazy, he is very affectionate. Although the good guys always win on TV, in reality it is usually the villains who succeed!
I couldn't sit still any longer, and was about to open the door to go out and see what was going on, when Corten suddenly spoke up: "As long as you stay here safely, Master Sora will have a chance of winning."
I was startled and turned to ask him, "Why do you say that?"
He handed the notebook to me and pointed to the battle power list on it. It actually showed: "Qian Moli, battle value: 80 points."
I was completely confused and asked Ke Teng doubtfully: "Does this mean that I have strong fighting ability?"
Cotten nodded, shook his head, then looked at me and said, "I can only say that you have a strong fighting motivation in Lord Sora's heart. In other words, 80% of Lord Sora's fighting power is related to you!"
My heart skipped a beat. Thinking of Sora constantly asking Lan Cang for my luck points, my heart suddenly felt sad. What was so good about me that made Sora willing to fight for me?
"Lord Sora is such a strange person." I was still in a daze, but Ke Teng started talking to himself, "Didn't you eavesdrop on our conversation yesterday? We had planned to come back and give you a good lesson, but you were always with Fei Xuanzi, so we had to go home and wait for you. But we waited until it was almost dark , and you didn't come back, and we couldn't get through to your cell phone. Lord Sora was lying on the sofa eating grapes, and when he saw that you didn't come back, he suddenly sat up from the sofa and forced me to search the whole city for you. Later, we ran into Fei Xuanzi and found out that you went to the amusement park to keep an appointment."
Sora was so worried about me. I couldn't help but feel warm inside. Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly realized that Ke Teng was looking at me seriously: "Ms. Moli, you are not as sweet as fruits, nor as tempting as barbecue, and even less comfortable than a rocking chair. Why do I feel that the way Lord Sora looks at you is like a combination of these three things?"
I was a little confused by what Cotten said for a moment, and just responded casually: "Maybe this is his personal habit."
"Habit?" Keten was even more confused and asked, "You mean, to Lord Sora, you are more attractive than fruit, barbecue, and rocking chairs?"
I understood what he said, and my heart trembled. I answered in panic: "That's not what I meant." At this point, I was so embarrassed that I didn't know how to explain it.
"In fact, I think what Lan Cang said is absolutely right. Lord Sora is a little stupid. I don't understand why he doesn't act quickly with you. In fact, kissing you is not a difficult thing. He just doesn't want to force you. There are many magic weapons in the God Shop that absorb luck. He doesn't choose effective and direct weapons such as knives and needles, but chooses the ones that cause the least harm to humans. He said that if he treats you gently, you won't be afraid. But he can't afford it at all and is in debt. What's even more infuriating is that he always shows mercy to you, causing us to lose all our efforts every time when we are just a little bit away from sucking out all the luck from you. And in the end, he simply went on strike and quit, because he was worried that you would be unlucky because of the lack of lucky energy. He actually hopes that you will be luckier than others!" Ke Teng said so many words in one breath. After he finished speaking, he quickly picked up the water cup and filled it with water.
I understood what he meant. My heart seemed to be illuminated by the sunshine of May, warm and sweet. It turned out that Sora had always been thinking about me. An indescribable feeling suddenly entangled me.
In order not to look strange, I quickly said, "I heard from Lan Cang that he came here to take my luck points on the orders of the gods..."
"That's not the case!" Ke Teng, who was always calm, also started to get excited. "Sora is the oldest trainee God of Mold in our God of Mold." Ke Teng's face turned slightly red when he said this. He glanced at me and saw that there was nothing wrong with me before he continued. "You humans may not feel anything, but in the God of Mold, it is a shameful thing to be over 300 years old and not yet promoted to a formal God of Mold. Therefore, the Great God specially gave Sora a chance this year. As long as he can complete this mission, he can be directly promoted to a formal God of Mold."
I understood what Ke Teng meant, that is, Sora is the worst one in the Unlucky God Realm, but this year the Great God let him off easy, but I didn't care, and asked: "Since Sora has no competitiveness, why did Lan Cang bother him?"
"Because there is only one spot for promotion to the official God of Bad Luck every year, he wants Sora to fail and not complete the task. This way he will have one less competitor, and his chances of becoming the official God of Bad Luck will greatly increase." Ke Teng showed a look of disgust.
Lan Cang is really abominable. If he wants to get promoted, he should just do it openly. Why does he always stab others in the back? It's really too much!
But then I thought, what does this have to do with me? Sora is a bad god after all. After completing his mission, he will definitely return to the bad god world. So what am I? But Sora has never regarded me as anything to him. What on earth am I thinking?
I was feeling conflicted when suddenly I heard a loud bang. I was so scared that my whole body trembled. The door of my room began to shake violently, and even my feet began to tremble.
Could it be that Sora was defeated by Lan Cang?
As I thought about this, my head was once again filled with a sudden surge of hot blood, and I decisively pushed the door open.
The living room outside the door was in a terrible state, a mess, Sora was covered in wounds, lying on the ground unable to move. However, Lan Cang stood opposite him, looking down on Sora with a proud look.
I saw several bloody scratches on Sola's fair face. Her eyes were slightly closed weakly, blood was oozing from the corners of her lips, and she looked extremely miserable. I suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
"Lan Cang, why are you so arrogant? Don't you look down on humans? Today I will let you taste the power of humans!"
I was so furious that while he was looking down on me arrogantly, I increased my power and ran towards him at full speed, aiming my eyes accurately at his crotch and kicking him hard.
The God of Bad Luck is also a man, and he is a physical entity now. I don’t believe that he doesn’t feel pain, because my ankle hurts so much that it’s almost dislocated. After attacking him, I was so shocked that I fell to the ground.
"Damn woman!" Lan Cang turned around on the ground a few times with twisted movements, cursing me with gritted teeth, but he couldn't use his power against me.
Suddenly, I saw a shiny bottle in his robe pocket, and could vaguely see colorful butterflies fluttering in it. I immediately remembered that Sora also had a bottle like this before, which was specially used to collect luck points. So I ignored everything else and pounced on his robe pocket.
The bottle flew out of his pocket when I hit him, but I couldn't fly. My center of gravity fell to the ground and I couldn't catch the bottle at all.
Lan Cang realized that something was wrong. He reached out to touch his pocket, looked up and saw the bottle flying in the air. He immediately jumped up and tried to catch the bottle. I knew that if he succeeded, I would have no chance anymore, so I gritted my teeth and hugged Lan Cang's legs tightly.
He was trapped by me and it was difficult for him to move. I only heard him roar in anger, and then I felt two extremely strong air currents coming straight at my back, the cold air penetrated into my bones, almost tearing me apart. Just as I was waiting in fear for Lan Cang's attack, there was suddenly a force on my back, and silky silver hair was like a waterfall, covering my head, shoulders, and back. Sora groaned on my back, and then our bodies were shaken to the corner of the wall with the powerful attack air currents.
He blocked Lan Cang’s attack for me?
My body just fell to the ground, and my heart trembled. I didn't care about anything else. I turned over and looked at Sola who fell beside me. I saw that his eyes were closed and he was barely breathing. I held his blue face in panic and called him anxiously: "Sola Sola Sola, don't scare me."
When he heard my voice, he just opened his eyes slightly, still with the same breathtakingly beautiful gaze, one clear as the sky, the other crystal clear as a spring, clean without a single flaw, yet with a ripple of water, almost melting me into his bottomless eyes.
"I'm the God of Bad Luck, nothing will happen to me. But you, you're just a human, don't be stupid." He reached out and touched my face, and advised softly.
I was suddenly very afraid that he was dead, and I kept staring at his face without blinking.
A blinding light illuminated the hall, and on the dome, Ke Teng and Lan Cang collided with each other, neither of them giving in. At this moment, the small bottle filled with luck suddenly fell straight down between the two of them.
I had to go pick up the bottles, so I couldn't keep an eye on him anymore, so I had to remind him, "Sora, don't die."
As soon as I finished speaking, I rolled over several times on the ground, caught the bottle exactly one second before it fell, and then held the bottle steadily in my arms.
I glanced at the bottle full of colorful butterflies, and ignored Lan Cang's shouting on the dome. I hurried back to Sora, stared at his tired face, and said softly: "Didn't you say that as long as we kiss, you can return to the Mold God Realm and continue your free life?"
There was a hint of surprise in Sora's eyes. I didn't wait for him to react. I opened the glass bottle, put the bottle mouth to my lips, and absorbed all the lucky energy into my body. I felt the spirit and vitality that my body had never felt before. I took a deep breath. It was time to return the vitality that did not belong to me.
I suddenly leaned forward and pressed my lips against Sora's. I wanted to return all my lucky energy to him so that he wouldn't be dragged down by me.
Sora's lips were very cold, and he obviously didn't expect me to kiss him, and he was stunned. I knew it was useless for him to just stand there like that, and I had to sense something to absorb the lucky energy back, so I kissed him more deeply, and he responded, hugging me tightly.
My body gradually became exhausted in the gentleness. I knew that was the symptom of the lucky energy being absorbed. In confusion, I told myself that I must quickly adapt to life without the protection of lucky energy, rely on myself, and work hard to move forward.
I was still able to feel when Sora laid me flat on the ground. I only remember seeing a bright and chaotic silver light mixed in front of my eyes, and a blue light that was scattered and had nowhere to escape.
Lan Cang was defeated, and I saw Sora, who was in a dishevel, walking towards me. The wings behind him were shining with colorful light, looking more beautiful than ever.
Ke Teng jumped up and down and cheered, "Master Sora, the gods have opened the passage to the Mold God Realm. We can go home now!"
I saw a gorgeous golden light shining down from the broken dome of Moli Castle. The injured Lan Cang was the first to disappear in the golden light, followed by Ke Teng.
Gradually, even Sora's silhouette began to fade.
I sat up straight, looking at his increasingly dim shadow. I knew it was time to say goodbye. My heart was filled with bitterness, but I said with blessings, "Goodbye."
Suddenly, Sora quickened his pace and held my hand. I saw that his slender fingers had gradually become transparent, which was very unreal.
"Qian Moli, I don't have much time left. Do you like me?" He asked me nervously and urgently, but his bright eyes looked so dreamy at this moment.
Do I like him?
Just now, I was sure that I liked him, but he was the god of bad luck and was leaving now, so how could I like him? When I thought about the days without him, the pain in my heart made me choke and I could hardly speak.
I shook my head with difficulty, and asked him through my tearful eyes: "Do you like me?"
When he saw me shaking my head, his eyes suddenly dimmed, his mouth opened, and he suddenly hugged me tightly in his arms, his voice trembling: "If God gives me another chance, I will love you well and let you know how much I like you."
His words were like a heavy stone, hitting my heart and creating ripples. Tears fell without reservation at this moment. I held back my reluctance, forced a smile and patted his shoulder and said, "But I don't feel that you like me that much, why don't you treat me better?"
"I will change. I will treat you well, be considerate of you, protect you, and never bully you again." He hugged me tightly. I couldn't extricate myself from his gradually cooling embrace. I wanted so much to be held by him forever...
But this strength disappeared in just a moment. Sora's warmth was still in my arms, but he had disappeared.
I waved goodbye to the mess around me and the exaggerated hole in the dome with a desolate heart: "Sora, goodbye, you will be a kind and unlucky god."
After saying that, I buried myself in the rubble and burst into tears.
Sora, please forgive me for not being able to adapt to loving and being loved, and for not daring to face your problem directly. But I regret it now. I can’t bear to leave you, I like you so much, I like you so much!
