Call Me Divine Father
"If I ever go to Four Symbols City as your master in the future... If she still wants to, of course she can."
"She wants to! Of course she does!" Cutie Pie chirped. "She really likes you, Master!"
Jun Lionhead looked at the animated Cutie Pie, but said nothing...
...
After Cutie Pie left, Nina Sanders showed up again.
"Divine Master, did you get an answer? Who are we supposed to kidnap?"
Jun Lionhead didn't reply.
"Divine Master?"
"Me."
Nina Sanders: "...What?"
"She said I'm the most important person to her. So just kidnap me and threaten her!"
"Huh? But..."
"Just do it!" He wanted to see if she was telling the truth.
"Okay..."
...
That night, Cutie Pie came home and saw Ray.
He ate dinner with her and Ray, then slipped into the spirit space.
Then, after Cutie Pie fell asleep, he spoke to Ray in Drake Transmission: "Come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"Just come with me!"
"I'm not going! I don't want to leave Mom!"
He must be trying to take Ray away, so he can have Mom all to himself.
Ray's not falling for it!
"Do you want to stay like this forever? Don’t you want to turn back into a human?" Evan Xiao asked.
"Huh?" Ray thought, actually wanting to be human again.
"Let's go."
"Fine..."
Evan Xiao walked for a while, then stopped again.
Ray looked at him, confused.
"Call me Father God."
"What's a Father God?"
"It's just Dad."
"Oh, Dad."
"We're gods now, so you should call me Father God."
"Fa... Father God."
The big Antler Serpent stretched its head over and gave the little Antler Serpent a kiss.
The little Antler Serpent blinked its big eyes, clearly enjoying it.
Father and son walked off together, searching for a place fit for Drake training, and Evan Xiao started teaching him...
...
Three days after Evan Xiao left.
Cutie Pie's body was at the Spirit Alliance, but her soul was in the Celestial Library.
The Ten Wilds Herbal Codex was protected by a white glow, so it didn't seem to be too worn by time.
But it's still made of paper.
One time, Cutie Pie accidentally tore a page and felt heartbroken for ages.
Every page of this book was precious, the painstaking work of the Alchemist God, Luke Kee.
So she spent a lot of time copying the entire Ten Wilds Herbal Codex—twice.
That way, she could get a general idea of this legendary book, and after copying, she could just read her copies instead of risking the original.
Once she finished, she put the real Ten Wilds Herbal Codex away for safekeeping.
Besides that, Cutie Pie loved browsing all the other miscellaneous books in the Celestial Library.
Those books broadened her horizons.
For example, one book called 'Divine Clans' talked about the three great clans: the Drake Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan.
It said the royal family of the Drake Clan had the surname Xiao.
The Phoenix Clan's royal family was named Qi.
The Qilin Clan's royal family was called Quinn.
She'd just read that when Rona Yin called for her.
Cutie Pie left the spirit space and asked what was up.
Rona Yin handed her a letter, saying someone delivered it to the gate.
Cutie Pie curiously opened the letter. It read: If you want to save Jun Lionhead, come to Full Moon Manor at noon today.
The signature at the bottom was: Nina Sanders.
Cutie Pie glanced at the sun high overhead and suddenly shouted like crazy, "Quick! Get the Falcon Team—head to Full Moon Manor, now!"
Full Moon Manor was usually a peaceful place.
But when they arrived, it had turned into hell.
All the servants and guards at Full Moon Manor were dead, bodies everywhere.
