My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 680: Playing Landlord

In an act of profound unity and purpose, Elysia and her family’s senior Goddesses withdrew from the mortal and celestial realms, entering a month-long seclusion.

The retreat was held deep within the sanctum of eternity spherical barrier, a mini separate dimensional realm untouched by the flow of time.

Seated in perfect harmony, their luminous forms radiated divine energy as they entered a state of deep meditation. With their eyes closed, their auras intertwined, forming a celestial mandala that pulsed with profound divinities. Each Goddess contributed her unique essence, blending into an eternal source of divine strength.

For thirty days, their divine powers realigned, intensified, and solidified into an unbreakable force.

"..." Xentia stood near the sanctum of eternity spherical barrier, looking at her Goddess master. The radiant presence was so bright and meant the world to her.

One month had passed since her divine ascension, and since then, her Goddess Master and the senior Goddesses have been on retreat, a joint meditation training in seclusion.

As for the other Elysium members, they took turns guarding the chamber and simultaneously nurturing their spiritual roots in the divine energy that radiated out from the spherical barrier.

After two hours of meditation, Xentia turned around and left the chamber because her shift was over.

"It’s my turn. See you in six hours!~" Vanessa waved her hand as she was eager to replace Xentia who had just come out of the chamber.

"Please keep it quiet." Xentia gently reminded Vanessa, remembering that Vanessa would most likely be asleep and snoring under the comfortable atmosphere inside the room.

"I know. I’m just purring at most..." Vanessa carefully closed the gate, but she couldn’t hide her wagging tail. She was eager to take a nap and cultivate near her master and the seniors.

Although she would literally take a nap, she would still safeguard the spherical barrier well, ensuring nothing would disturb her master and seniors.

Considering they were in the outside world, in the sacred cave in the Sacred Mountain’s peak basked by the Heavenly Realm’s divine energy, advanced protection was essential because intruders could come at any time.

In addition to the protector who was guarding right next to the sanctum of eternity spherical barrier, some family members were always on standby around the mountain peak while waiting for their turn to guard the sacred chamber.

"Hi, Xen. Your shift is over, and Vann is the last one..." Luna greeted the approaching Xentia gently.

A month had passed and in six hours, their master and the senior Goddesses would come out of the joint meditation.

"Mm... it’s still a long way to go." Xentia responded with a nod.

"It won’t be long before we can reach a position where our master can rely on us more." Luna reassured Xentia, understanding what Xentia felt.

"Mmhm, we are already in the Goddess sisters’ circle, but our strength is still inadequate to fuse with our master. Do you think I can reach the 12th Rank in two years?" Xentia wondered, subtly asking Luna to divine her future a little.

"Our future is still blocked by the Nirvana Great War. Even Goddess Fortuna can’t foresee past it." Luna shook her head, feeling a little sad.

"It doesn’t mean it’s a bad omen. Even if our body is destroyed, our soul will always return to our master." Xentia patted Luna’s shoulder and walked away.

She understood there were some girls who were afraid of the unexpected, especially the bleak future where anyone could die on the battlefield. But they needed to remember they belonged to their master, and even if they got killed, they wouldn’t truly die as they would return to their master’s soul sanctuary.

Their master would protect them well. Even if they really died, starting over from scratch wasn’t a terrible thing if they could spend eternity in the Elysium Family.

"Yo, Interstellar Archangel, come play some cards with us. Soulbound Oracle, come over here and blow off some steam. You look a bit stressed lately." Sylvia beckoned her fellow sisters to join her at the game table.

"Why did you call us with our divine title all of a sudden?" Luna tilted her head slightly.

"Just come here. The others are busy with their respective tasks, but it’s just us to safeguard the peak now. Are you just going to stand there for six hours?" Sylvia rolled her eyes.

"Full house! You won’t be able to beat me, Sylvi." Evelyn placed her cards proudly.

"Wait, how? Did you cheat while I wasn’t paying attention?" Sylvia flinched a bit, surprised that Evelyn suddenly placed the cards with a big move.

"It wouldn’t be fun if we cheated. It’s my win. Your spirit stones are mine now." Evelyn made a V sign and immediately took all the spirit stones on the table.

"Tch, take it. You got lucky this round. I’ll beat your ass in the next one." Sylvia clicked her tongue, throwing her cards on the table.

"Fufu, that’s a landslide victory." Evelyn chuckled cheerfully.

"Are... why are you gambling? Have you forgotten that our master hates it?" Xentia narrowed her eyes, looking skeptically at what Sylvia and Evelyn were playing.

"Ah, no... that, that’s not it. We’re just playing for fun. Ely hates the gambling scam, not the game itself." Evelyn quickly explained herself, stuttering a bit.

"Yes, yes. This is just another harmless game for fun. The card game got introduced by Ely in Vrelenia as well, so she can’t possibly hate it." Sylvia supported Evelyn’s claim.

"Is that so?" Xentia wasn’t too sure, but it made sense.

"Hmm, since it’s four people, let’s play four-person landlords." Luna didn’t mind playing cards for a while.

"But with two extra decks. Don’t ever try to cheat or I’ll bite your ass." Sylvia stacked two packs of cards, baring her fangs with a wide devilish grin.

"Why do you keep mentioning ass? I won’t cheat and ruin the fun, alright." Luna complained, but she had already taken her seat near the stone table.

While the others went to carry out their respective tasks, the ones who stood guard around the Sacred Mountain’s peak were only four people, excluding Vanessa who was guarding inside the sacred cave.

While the four ladies were playing cards, someone approached silently.

"What are you doing here, Lady Yuna? You came too early. Our master has not come out of her seclusion yet." Luna glanced to the side, feeling something was odd about Agent White’s sudden arrival.

"Hello, it’s been a while." Yuna raised her hand in greeting.

It had been a month since the Divine Teacher’s absence, but it couldn’t be helped. The students were also able to self-study, especially the practical classes.

The simulated realm created by Goddess Ely helped them greatly to prepare for the Nirvana Great War, sharpening them to their full potential. However, there was still no one who could beat the highest-difficulty final boss effectively, including the Lord of Heaven himself...

"Is your arrival your own decision or your lord’s order?" Xentia glanced at Yuna once, but she soon lost interest.

She knew her master once invited Yuna to join Elysium as a double agent, but Yuna indirectly refused. Her master understood Yuna’s situation, but she could see this leader of the Heavenly Agent felt somewhat hesitant and swayed. Moreover, she could easily tell Yuna expected something from her master.

’She is really pretty in all aspects, but the master will ignore the prettiest flower if you can’t even decide it. It wasn’t even a betrayal of your lord, but the invitation didn’t come twice. Master already has us, her garden of flowers.’ Xentia muttered in her mind, dismissing the matter about Yuna since her master didn’t bother with it anymore. They were just a simple friend at most.

"Do you hate me or something?" Yuna put her hand to her chest, wondering about Xentia’s flat stare.

"Hm, so you came here of your own free will? I believe the Lord of Heaven is currently busy with his grand project. Would it be alright for you to leave his side?" Sylvia offered a chair for Yuna, patting it invitingly.

"Yes, but we can leave the progress to work alone. Lord Heavenly Dao is still in seclusion as well since last week..." Yuna took her seat with a soft sigh.

"Did something happen? If you don’t mind, you can talk to us more. We’re good listeners." Luna could guess something, but she didn’t dare assume.

"Sigh... I don’t know anymore. Count me in the game." Yuna sighed as she put down a few taels of divine stones.

"Wow, a rich contender wants to challenge me? I won’t lose my third winning streak." Sylvia pushed all the stakes and restarted the game to five-person players.

"..." Evelyn, Luna, and Xentia looked at each other. They remembered that their master once reminded He-Dao to open Lady Nirvana’s last message recorded in that divine artifact, earlier the better, so it wouldn’t affect him during the Nirvana Great War.

Seeing Yuna’s expression, He-Dao was most likely already braced himself to hear his beloved’s last message. Their master would try to save Lady Nirvana’s shattered soul later, but there was no guarantee it would succeed.

’He has three thousand beauties, but he only has her in his mind. I don’t know if that’s romantic loyalty or excessive cruelty.’ Evelyn shook her head, but that was none of her business to think about.

As the game restarted, the five ladies played cards without realizing the time, and the sun had already set by the time they noticed it.
