Chapter 1291: You’re Like the Fire in Winter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This time, Hong Dali specially tested if he had retained his Elemental Affinity ability. Under his careful observation, he quickly discovered that his Elemental Affinity ability was greatly weakened compared to before. Simply put, he could only slightly control the water now, changing from a person who couldn’t swim at all to a person with decent swimming skills. As for total control of the elements like before, that wasn’t possible anymore.
Hong Dali was a bit disappointed. “Sigh, what a pity. The effect is greatly weakened. If not, I can already think of a way to go down from here.”
Depending on Elemental Affinity to go down wasn’t possible. But what Hong Dali was thinking was that since Elemental Affinity was still usable, then Animal’s Best Friend’s ability should still have some effect too. It would be perfect if he could direct the animals to find a large bird that could carry him and the Goddess down.
But now, it looked like his hopes weren’t high—even Elemental Affinity was weakened by so much, it was unlikely he could still communicate with animals. He reckoned that, at most, the animals wouldn’t attack him.
“Sigh, this is troublesome.” Hong Dali kept pulling at his hair in the water. “Damn it, how can I go down the mountain? This is really a troublesome thing.” After thinking for a long while, he still couldn’t come out with anything. However, he discovered something not bad too—it is much easier to catch fishes now. Wecould eat fish for dinner, brouhahaha!
Hong Dali came out of the water and breathed out in satisfaction. He smiled and said, “Sister Goddess, I’m back. The news isn’t too good, but not too bad either—ah!” He was carrying a fish he caught inside the water and the fish was still struggling inside his arms. Yet, when he came out of the water, his naked body was completely seen by the Goddess of Wisdom again—the white light from the staff lit up, and he was knocked down into the water again…
Hong Dali was really depressed. It was fine that he went inside the water again, but the crucial thing was that the fish escaped…
Coming out of the water and wiping away the droplets that dripped down from his hair, Hong Dali smiled and shook his head, then said, “Oh my, what are you so shy for. All humans came to this world naked in the first place. Also, ain’t I wearing something down there too, what’s there to be shy about? There’s only the two of us at this place, a man and woman… Alright, a man and a female goddess, but there isn’t a need to be like that—ah, ah! Sister Goddess, don’t walk so fast. My pants are wet, and it’s so cold at night, what if my little brother gets frozen!”
Another flash of light shot towards him. Hong Dali hurriedly went back into the water—Sister Goddess was getting angry!
At night, there was really nothing Hong Dali could do. At the top of the mountain, it was cooling when the Sun was up, and it was windy at night. Hong Dali was so cold that his body was shivering. He only had the body of a normal human. Even though all of his attributes were at 100, it still wasn’t a good thing to let the cold wind freeze his eggs.
Actually, he really wanted to remove his pants to let it dry, but he was afraid that Sister Goddess would really kick him down—by that time, it would probably be down the cliff and not down into the water anymore. He really would die…
“Forget it, there’s nothing I can do.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “Damn, I can only use my body warmth to try it, sigh…”
He was fond of sleeping in the first place, but he knew that it would be dangerous to sleep in wet clothes. It wouldn’t be a joke if he caught a cold on the top of a mountain—the abilities from the Great Prodigal System had already been severely weakened, and he wasn’t sure if his attribute would still be fixed at 100 anymore. If there were any accidents, he would really die.
“You’re like the fire in winter… Achoo… A fire, the fire lights up… Achoo… My heart…” Hong Dali didn’t dare to sleep and could only sing loudly to ease his drowsiness. He sang from ”Fire in Winter” to “Warm Desert”, then lastly to “Fade Away”, his shivering and singing figure appearing as pitiful as it could possibly get.
Just at this moment, the Goddess of Wisdom’s celestial-like voice softly sounded. To Hong Dali, these words were as beautiful as it could possibly get. “Stop singing, it sounds terrible. I have never heard someone sing as terribly as you. Come in. But I shall say this first: find a corner and don’t come near me. If not, don’t ever think of coming in again!”
“Sister Goddess, you’re really wonderful.” Hong Dali was extremely touched and ran in, shivering. Once he went inside the cave, he discovered that, although the cave was only a temporary living place made by the Goddess of Wisdom, she was a female, after all—she still used a little of her power to make it like a real house. At least, things like beds still existed.
After all, her power was much weaker compared to before, and she needed to lie down too when sleeping.
Currently, the Goddess of Wisdom was hidden inside the darkness, wearing a white dress, and her silver long hair almost dangling until it touched the floor. The moonlight reflected off the floor and shone on her slightly pale face. At this moment, she was filled with such holiness that Hong Dali felt as if their previous action of having sex was just but a dream.
“Sister Goddess, you’re really beautiful.” Hong Dali sniffled, hurriedly found a corner, and squatted down. “I shall stay at this spot. Hehe, I just require a place to lie down, my requirements are always not very high.”
Saying so, he really just laid down like that, not at all feeling unhappy whatsoever.
“Rest early.” The Goddess of Wisdom closed her eyes and insipidly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t attack you.” It was as if she was just talking to herself, but Hong Dali was very moved and said, “I knew that Sister Goddess is the best…”
At this moment, there were only two people inside the cave, a man and a woman, especially that these two people had already experienced the closest kind of contact before. Once it went quiet, the atmosphere got warmer and warmer.
The Goddess of Wisdom had never experienced such a thing before. Although she was a god, her brain was in a mess too. In the end, she softly hummed. “The sound of prosperity plunges into the empty door, and it breaks the world. Dreams cold, turning a lifetime of love debt and a few books as you default, life, and death. Without a circle, round the wheel…”
Hong Dali asked in surprise, “Sister Goddess, you know how to sing ‘Fade Away’ too?”
“I remembered it from hearing you sing it just now.” She answered matter-of-factly, “It’s quite a nice song, but you sang it terribly.” It was no wonder she said this. Her voice was crisp and clear, like pearls dropping on a plate, like the voice from heaven, able to ripple through the hearts of those who heard it.
It wasn’t an overstatement to say that out of all the people Hong Dali saw in his two lifetimes, only Li Nianwei’s singing voice could be compared to her. However, the Goddess of Wisdom’s voice was colder, while Li Nianwei’s voice filled with emotions. The artistic conception in their singing was different, so it wasn’t easy to compare the two of them. Hong Dali didn’t know which one he preferred too.
Of course, this wasn’t important anymore. Under the Goddess of Wisdom’s song, Hong Dali finally fell asleep.
