Chapter 1164: Chapter 538: Stack Them Up!

["Herbert, I’ve said it many times already."]

She extended her slender finger, almost poking his nose: ["I have never... never worried about those Monster Girls."]

["Do you really think the reason I’m doing this is because I’m jealous and uneasy about their status?"]

Her voice lowered, carrying an unprecedented seriousness as she shook her head:

["Compared to those mortals, a Goddess is different."]

["They are Divine, possessing long lives, immense power, and intricate networks! Once you’re too involved, wanting to extricate yourself won’t be that easy."]

["Even though that Mirror Demon isn’t reliable, what she said was actually correct—be wary of the Goddess."]

The Goddesses are dangerous!

But at this moment, Herbert blinked, weakly raised his hand, and couldn’t help but interject:

"Well, let me interrupt for a second, you seem to be the least qualified to say others are unreliable... Ahem, I was wrong, I’ll keep quiet."

["Say it again!"]

After being glared at by Nenasha, Herbert decisively shut his mouth and raised his hands in surrender.

["Sigh..."]

With a bit of a headache, Nenasha sighed in resignation: ["Do you understand? Although we’re destined to walk a path opposing the Gods, I don’t want to see you dragged into trouble prematurely because of these matters."]

She never feared conflict with other Divine beings.

Even that Sun, Nenasha may have some reservations, would temporarily avoid confronting them, but never felt fear towards them.

If it was just herself, Nenasha wouldn’t worry about anything, but now she’s more than just herself.

She often teased Herbert for getting more intertwined with more and more Monster Girls, increasing his bonds, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities.

But in reality, Nenasha also knows in her heart that she too now has weaknesses, ones she brought upon herself and is unwilling to give up.

Herbert is her weakness.

To maximize his protection and fundamentally reduce risk, the best choice is to avoid getting involved with Divine beings.

—Although she knows, with Herbert’s grand destiny, that’s practically impossible.

But even so, Nenasha doesn’t want to give up trying.

Destiny coming to you is one thing, but you rushing towards it is another!

["Moreover, I also don’t want to see you, for a certain Goddess... hmph!"]

The rest of the words seemed difficult for Miss Xie Shen to say, and she eventually turned her head, turning her anger into a frustrated huff.

At this moment, someone who really couldn’t read the atmosphere added on her behalf: "You don’t want to see me mesmerized by another Goddess?"

!!?

Miss Xie Shen was speechless with anger, stomped her foot fiercely, and complained: ["... Tsk, that’s right! So what!?"]

["I just don’t want you to get involved with them, so what? I’m just jealous!"]

Herbert listened quietly as she finished, watching the slight rise and fall of her small chest due to her excitement, and the emotions in her deep eyes, a bit of joking in his heart faded away.

He was silent for a moment, finally nodding lightly with resignation.

"Alright, alright, I understand."

His voice carried a hint of reassurance, said softly: "It truly was my fault, I shouldn’t make you worry."

Herbert reached out his finger, wanting to gently pat her hair as before, but Nenasha turned her head away angrily to avoid it.

He had no choice but to withdraw his hand, sincerely admitting his mistakes: "Knowing full well you have, uh, a special vigilance against Goddesses, but I couldn’t resist temptation... hmm, let’s call it temptation."

Although it’s hard to say who’s enticing whom, admitting it first is not wrong.

["Hmm? You..."]

Unexpectedly, Nenasha didn’t expect Herbert to admit so straightforwardly, and for a moment, she was stunned, turning her head to look at him oddly.

Seeing Herbert’s serious introspective appearance, the small amount of bitterness she initially had seemed like a balloon pricked, instantly deflating more than half, her feigned fierce demeanor plunging to the bottom.

["..."]

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she turned her head, avoiding his gaze, her small hand unconsciously tugging at the skirt she conjured, her voice lowering with a bit of muttering:

["Uh... you, you don’t have to apologize so seriously, actually, I’m not that petty."]

I’m just ordinarily petty!

Not so petty!

Seeing her contrarian, obviously cares yet unwilling to admit it, Herbert’s eyes glinted with a hint of amusement.

He let out a sigh of relief internally, understanding Nenasha was actually more worried and not truly upset with him.

The situation still had a turnaround...

No, it could definitely be smoothed over.

"However."

Herbert waited for Nenasha to calm down a bit, shifted the topic, his tone turning calm with guidance.

"Nenasha, I have an idea, you might want to hear it."

"I think you would be interested."

["Oh?"]

Nenasha turned her head curiously, signaling him to go on with her gaze.

"You really don’t have to worry so much."

Herbert began explaining, earnestly: "For me, a Goddess is actually no different in essence from a Monster Girl or a mortal woman."

He paused, looking at Nenasha’s slightly widened eyes, continuing:

"They might possess Divine Formats and authority, but in my eyes, they are not treated specially because of the ’Divine’ status."

"I don’t see them any differently, nor will I flatter them with servility, this, you should be very clear about."
