After making sure to meet the Deity, Lu Ping’an had imagined what it would be like to meet this lady.
Is it a sacred and splendid hall, in front of the huge and majestic God Statue?
Is it the Colosseum watched by Quasi-Gods, or a humiliating territory where you have to bow your head under pressure?
Is it a sneak attack by a possessed Divine Son, proving one’s strength in a fierce fight, then discussing the covenant of mutual relations afterward?
Lu Ping’an didn’t think he would have an advantage, but he also didn’t think he would be completely defeated.
At this time, Big Cat’s utterance unequivocally became a big trouble.
After all, the majesty of a Deity cannot be insulted.
"Clap clap."
The girl smiled and lightly clapped her hands by her right cheek.
In the next moment, a furious Big Cat turned directly into a meteor.
Lu Ping’an sighed, didn’t bother with her... Her body had reached beyond control distance, and the disconnected Big Cat had returned to the Courtyard.
And now, she was cursing quite unpleasantly, continually demanding to be let out.
Why let her out, to humiliate the Proper God and get herself flattened as well? Even if the other party could endure, they would inevitably kill the humiliator for their own dignity.
"Heh, is she cursing very unpleasantly, still rolling on the ground wanting to come out?"
This... goddess, seemed to have mind-reading skills, seeing right through what Lu Ping’an was thinking.
"...She didn’t roll."
By that, was everything else correct?
Lin Nu shook her head as if looking at a disappointing junior.
"Sister, you’re still so spirited, that’s really good."
Lu Ping’an’s expression turned a bit strange, this wasn’t the same as what he heard before.
In the next instant, Big Cat completely lost her temper, and all sorts of vulgar words filled Lu Ping’an’s ears.
"...Wait a moment."
Lu Ping’an sighed, rare for him, he activated the administrator’s rights and gave Big Cat a mute package.
This person... enjoying her second bowl of noodles, was definitely not as friendly as she appeared.
As far as Lu Ping’an knew, beings like Deities are often fused and restricted by rules; the weaker the Deity, the more rigid their behavior and speech. They are bound by will, only able to play a game of personal bias under the rules... Facing those divinity-filled cold statements, Lu Ping’an was actually not afraid.
"...Really befitting the title of Lady of the Forest, the fastest-growing God of Life in nearly thirty years, I can’t tell at all that she’s a Deity."
Being able to maintain oneself under the Erosion of "rules" and "Contamination" is what true strength means, implying she controls the Controller of Rules, "Contamination."
This was Lu Ping’an’s first encounter with a "God" whose nature could not be discerned... Even those Quasi-Gods clearly displayed non-human attitudes, but if she didn’t say it herself, she would seem just a Mortal.
"No, it’s not like that, this is just a part of me."
"Uh, can you be a bit more polite, not read minds?"
"Sorry, as beings of the same origin, you and I are so close, attractively connected, nearly transparent... Eh, you actually don’t care at all?"

"I have nothing to hide."
"...No private desires? Oh, there are, yet you calmly face them, believing them to be the needs of Life... Your desires, compared to most Mortals, are practically saintly, are you interested in being my Divine Son?"
"No, I do not wish to inexplicably be a generation shorter."
"What you are saying... You aren’t sister’s disciple... Oh, that’s the kind of relationship, indeed, then should I call you my junior brother?"
"..." Lu Ping’an closed his eyes, not wanting to respond, yet began to adjust.
In a sense, his body was merely a puppet manipulated by strings of the Courtyard itself, the other party reading interface information from his data end, so...
A faint flame covered his body, Black Flame’s King switched to a form more conducive for communication as a Human Trader, the existence of the Child of War was purely an Energy Creature.
"....Cheapskate."
At this time, watching the other unable to read, Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there really wasn’t anything he couldn’t say... laying it all out directly with the negotiation counterpart was too disadvantageous.
The woman in front of him had green hair and green eyes, and her smile was sunny and cheerful, her lips always carrying a sweet smile, resembling the woman next door, only her slightly pointed elf ears revealed her non-human identity.
At this moment, though, the rare hair color and beauty, and the blaze burning on Lu Ping’an, did not attract any surprise from others... They just went about their business, unconsciously bypassing the two, as if they didn’t exist.
How powerful? Lu Ping’an couldn’t tell, but that momentary ability to fling a Big Cat with at least above seventh-tier strength was also a declaration.
In a sense, the other party was indeed Lu Ping’an’s current boss, although nobody took it seriously.
"I want you to call me older sister."
"....Spare me, I don’t want to be annoyed to death by the cat."
"Then call me senior sister."
From the moment they met, the other party had completely mastered the pace, and instantly saw through the chips Lu Ping’an held... That was still what the other party was willing to show him.
The woman smiled sweetly, seemingly pleased to have a junior brother.
But it was Lu Ping’an’s first contact with the Secret Realm, and he had directly interacted with the other’s Virtual Persona... In all aspects, she was not a peaceful woman; if she really cared about the so-called sibling affection, Big Cat wouldn’t be so agitated.
Perhaps, the sweeter the smile, the harsher the strike, as evident here.
"No need, let’s keep it strictly business, boss."
Even without the nagging of Big Cat, Lu Ping’an knew that the person in front of him, if there were no issues, the farther away the better.
A name is the coordinate of the consciousness in the real world, and "address" could serve as a link; Heaven knows what rules Lu Ping’an might accidentally trigger by agreeing on the spot, or what price he might have to pay.
Becoming a "Divine Son" might also just need a title between each other.
"Really not cute..." The girl pouted, oddly a bit cute.
Lu Ping’an subconsciously stepped back, this cute girl was still better to be avoided.
During this first meeting, Lu Ping’an was full of vigilance... Considering the other’s "reputation", Lu Ping’an felt that additional caution was necessary.
Lady of the Forest, a Proper God, said to have miraculously ascended to godhood at a remarkably young age, real name unknown... To be precise, when she made her "deity name" as her title of existence, her original name had already been erased from the material universe, even if a few strong individuals remembered, it was meaningless.
From Big Cat, Lu Ping’an heard only negative critiques, phrases like "Camellia Woman", "Two-faced", "b*tch", "Swindler", "Smiling Poisonous Scorpion".
But in the Human World, most of the descriptions Lu Ping’an got of her were positive, after all, her main industries were healing, life forms, and Gardener (agricultural profession), and back then the hospital where Lu Ping’an stayed was one of her properties.
What Lu Ping’an knew was that she was a very unique god, her "doctrine" surprisingly Buddhist style, and her followers were quite free, even without the need to truly worship her.
But from previous contacts with the Virtual Persona and Big Cat’s words, Lu Ping’an knew that the bright and lively young woman in front of him, once she made up her mind, her actions would be absolutely ruthless.
"....I expect Guan Xinxian to become your Demigod." Closing his eyes, Lu Ping’an proactively stated his request.
Lu Ping’an had originally been talking nonsense with the other party, also as a strategy to take initiative in the negotiation.
After all, the God’s Descent of a deity consumes their own power and that of Saints and Saintesses... Even if the other party does not fear the consumption, excessively prolonged God’s Descent could completely destroy a precious vessel.
But now the other side seemed to be about to order another bowl of noodles, to eat and talk, Lu Ping’an realized he had still underestimated the resources of this Quasi-God.
Thus, go to Plan B... The communication with a deity and such high-dimensional existences, the longer and more you drag it out, the more flaws you expose, better to dive straight into the main topic.
Lu Ping’an directly made the request, hoping Guan Xinxian would become the other’s Demigod.
"Isn’t dragging out the time to consume more of it an option?" But the other party had already seen through everything.
