Death... and me

Chapter 2228 Then That's Fine

Jeskli-Go obviously had no idea that the twins were looking for the Universe Foundation Fragments. Fortunately, he didn't connect Werin's presence with the Angel and Devil that got the fragment back in the Ruins of the Stars. It would be weird if he did anyway since no one was supposed to know that the twins had the ability to transform their bodies.

Rean expected to be questioned at some point, so he had already come up with an excuse. "We heard from Werin that no one can get close to the Center of the Floating Islands of Time. However, Luan here has a special kind of eyes that can see the elements of the world. That said, we wondered. What could be there that doesn't allow anyone to get close? We are pretty much free at the moment, so we decided to check. Perhaps Luan's eyes will help us get through this phenomenon."

Jeskli-Go narrowed his eyes. "And so what? Do you just expect me to say yes, go ahead? Let's presume you can indeed enter the center that no one else can, and there is indeed an incredible treasure there. Why would the Minokawas let YOU guys take it away?"

Rean pointed at Kentucky. "He is the Regal Minokawa, so he has the right to take it too."

Jeskli-Go nodded. "Oh, then that's fine."

Luan and Roan's mouths twitched. 'IS THAT REALLY OKAY?!!!!!' They thought. 'How has this race not disappeared already?'

Jeskli-Go then looked at Lily-Yu. "Alright, your hubby needs some help around the Floating Islands of Time, so you will guide them. Werin will come with me as we still need to talk about the events in the Ruins of the Stars."

Lily-Yu felt like crying already. "Who's my hubby? I have no Hubby!"

"Yes, yes... just do as I said," Jeskli-Go couldn't care less about her opinion.

Yet, Lily refused. "I'm not going! I don't like this guy. He is too fat! I prefer to make Brother Werin my partner instead!"

Werin shrugged his shoulders. "You made it look like I'm some kind of last option in a desperate time."

Lily nodded. "To be my last option is already a great honor."

"There is no need for you to take the last option when your first option is right here," said Jeskli-Goi while pointing at Kentucky.

"Why do I feel like you don't care about my own opinion?" Kentucky couldn't help but ask.

Rean, Roan, and Luan looked at each other. 'Has Kentucky ever cared about anyone else's opinion either? You reap what you sow,' they decided to not help him at all. Not to mention that not caring about anyone else's opinion seemed to be a trait of the Minokawa Race as well.

"I'm not going to do it," said Lily-Yu.

"Then I will send you to help in the war against the Devils," Jeskli-Go smiled as he answered.

Minokawas are lazy. Even if it was for the greater good of the Realm of Gods, none of them wanted to take part in it at all. In the end, they had to rely on drawing lots to decide who would go and who would stay. It goes without saying that every single Minokawa wanted to stay, and Lily-Yu was no different. She was lucky enough to draw the 'stay and defend' option. However, as one of the leaders of the Minokawa Race, Jeskli-Go could totally revoke that and force Lily to go to war like the majority of the Minokawas.

Lily-Yu immediately put her wings around Kentucky's shoulder in response. "Hubby, it is so good that we can spend some time together. Don't worry. Your beloved Lily will show you everything in the Floating Islands of Time. You can ask any question you wish, and I will answer everything!"

Kentucky only felt repulsed at seeing that. "Can you be any more shameless?" he said while trying to push Lily away.

Rean pointed at the two while asking Roan and Luan. "Is that what you call a match made in Heavens?"

Roan and Luan nodded. "If that's not it, we truly don't know what it is."

"Fuck you!" Kentucky was truly crying already.

Roan then sent him a Divine Sense Message. 'Stop complaining. This is just temporary, idiot. Once we get the fragment, we can even use the Circuitry Teleport Formation if you wish. First of all, no one expects Rean and me to be able to open a Spatial Gate, so we can easily leave. Just bear with it for now.'

Kentucky truly didn't want it, but at least he could use it against the twins in the future if he needed something. 'Fine! But you owe me one!'

Roan nodded, not that he intended to pay that favor anyway. 'Fine.'

Seeing that things were resolved, Jeskli-Go decided to leave. "Alright. Just remember, Kentucky's Regal Bloodline is a secret. Keep it suppressed so that no one can feel it. Although the war efforts have decreased the number of eyes around the Floating Islands of Time, I can still feel some with my Divine Sense. I can't stay here much longer since it would only raise suspicion too."

Rean accepted the warning. "Thank you, senior Jeskli-Go. We will definitely be careful."

"Good!" Jeskli-Go was satisfied. "Once you finish whatever you are doing, make sure to disappear. The longer you stay here, the higher the chances of being found. If you can't find a way to enter the center, which is most likely what will happen, you must leave. I will give you one month. If I find out you are still wandering around the Islands by that time, I will come out myself and teleport you somewhere else, far away from here."

Jeskli then took flight, followed by Werin. "I hope to see you again once you grow strong enough." A moment later, the two of them disappeared in the distance.

Lily-Yu's smile immediately disappeared as she got away from Kentucky. "So, fatty, let's go. Don't waste my time."

Kentucky pointed at Lily. "It shouldn't be a problem if I 'accidentally' gave her a beating, right?"

The twins simply ignored him and took flight as well. "Let's go."
