Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2308 - 1033: Li Island, The Curtain Falls

The chime made from Summer Green Bamboo, once filled with water, hit the floor with a "ding".

The cold spring water splashed everywhere, then the bamboo tube bounced back, tilting high.

The entire sleeping palace had already turned into ruins.

Xia Hongmian’s suit was undamaged, but it was stained with quite a bit of blood.

She looked down at it, casually took off her jacket, intending to throw it on the ground. But upon seeing the exploded abdomen of Suzuka Momoka, split open, she let out an almost imperceptible sigh and covered the corpse with the jacket.

In the battle that had just erupted, Xia Hongmian had won.

She had come prepared, plus Tachibana Chihitomi was already severely injured by the Dragon Goddess and was unwilling to fight desperately, so Xia Hongmian won this battle quite easily.

The only problem was, it was all for nothing.

Inside the belly of Suzuka Momoka, the Dayao Witch, there was no Dragon Ball.

Nor was it anywhere around!

This is not scientific!

"Where could it have gone?"

Xia Hongmian frowned slightly. Although she only glanced briefly at Suzuka Momoka’s corpse and didn’t check it carefully, her perception was enough to confirm that the Dragon Ball was gone.

Or rather, the most primal Life Essence that condensed after the Dragon Goddess’s death...

Was gone!

Xia Hongmian lowered her head in thought.

She could be sure that other than herself and Lin Baici’s team, no other outsiders had stepped into the Dragon Palace.

Was it Suzuka Momoka or Tachibana Chihitomi who made arrangements in advance?

Xia Hongmian shook her head.

This possibility was slim!

Otherwise, Tachibana Chihitomi wouldn’t have fought so desperately, and as for Suzuka Momoka, who was already dead, if she had arranged things in advance, it would definitely have been with the premise of ensuring her own survival. Otherwise, what would be the point of leaving the Dragon Ball after she died?

Besides, Suzuka Momoka’s demeanor before indeed seemed like she was prepared for mutual destruction.

"Could it be Lin Baici?"

Xia Hongmian recalled all of Lin Baici’s actions.

This hypothesis doesn’t stand!

He definitely didn’t make a move!

Wait!

If it was that God, it’s indeed possible for them to take the most precious spoils without alerting anyone.

Thinking of this, Xia Hongmian smiled slightly.

Interesting!

She walked towards the back garden, snapping her fingers as she went.

Snap!

On the ground, Suzuka Momoka, whose upper body was covered by the jacket, suddenly burst into flames, and a few minutes later, the fire grew larger, engulfing the entire room.

...

Lin Baici’s group, while making a quick retreat, chatted gossip.

San Miyairi didn’t want the affair of Suzuka Momoka to get out, but couldn’t resist Xia Hongyao’s persistent coaxing and eventually spilled the beans.

Actually, what she mainly worried about was Gu Qingqiu.

This woman would surely try to get information about this God’s ruins from Lin Baici’s mouth, so since it was destined to be known, she might as well tell it herself, as a favor.

"Suzuka Momoka ate the Dragon Ball? And could even fight Tachibana Chihitomi? She didn’t directly turn into a Dead Flesh Man?"

Xia Hongyao was dumbfounded.

Why does it feel like listening to a celestial book?

"You should go ask your sister!"

San Miyairi glanced at Xia Hongyao, thinking if only you were a bit smarter, Xia Hongmian would have definitely poured her efforts into nurturing you, and you wouldn’t be in the dark about so many big secrets like you are now.

"What a pity, if only I could have witnessed that great battle!"

Xia Hongyao lamented.

What a wasted trip otherwise, right?

But she also understood that she had no qualification to participate in such a battle; even watching from afar could have brought disaster her way.

The group hurried along the steps down the mountain.

"Why do I feel something is off?"

Yi Jisheng scratched his head, watching the surroundings warily: "Is the enemy chasing us?"

"The steps have gotten longer!"

Gu Qingqiu quickened his pace. This change indicated a great outbreak of divine pollution.

"Run!"

Lin Baici urged, glancing back toward the mountain gate.

Three minutes ago, the intense hunger as if he could wolf down an entire cow in one sitting had suddenly vanished.

Looks like Tachibana Chihitomi won and used some means to digest the Dragon Goddess; otherwise, his hunger wouldn’t have subsided.

Everyone dared not take things lightly, even the fearless Gu Qingqiu quickened his pace.

On both sides of the long steps, there were Cryptomeria, horse chestnuts, and some plants Lin Baici couldn’t name.

Their branches and leaves were lush and verdant, with summer sunlight unable to penetrate, creating a cool shade in the forest.

The wind blew, causing the leaves to rustle, like silkworms munching mulberry leaves.

Lin Baici and his team of six, upon nearly rushing down the long steps, suddenly came to a halt.

In front of them was a platform paved with large blue stones, with a statue of a dragon maiden placed in the center.

A twenty-something woman, hands behind her back, stood before the statue, admiring this Taboo thing!

That’s right,

This was also a Taboo thing!

Swish!

Everyone instinctively stopped, on high alert, ready for a fight!

However, Xia Hongyao quickly called out in surprise and joy.

"Sis?"

Having lived with Xia Hongmian for fifteen years, Xia Hongyao was all too familiar with her older sister.

Just a silhouette was enough to know who it was.

"Sis!"

Xia Hongyao happily stretched her long legs, rushing over.

"It’s actually Director Xia?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Long Miaomiao was baffled: "Why is she here?"

Gu Qingqiu thought, the concern should be about when she arrived!

She didn’t glance at San Miyairi, but she knew that the cherry blossom girl must be in turmoil, thinking a lot.

Indeed, San Miyairi’s mind raced with countless thoughts in an instant.

She even started to speculate if the battle just now was between Tachibana Chihitomi and Xia Hongmian?
