Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 516 - 315 Can I Refuse? (4.2K, First Update)

Teresa felt like she was having a long dream.

After the embodiment of the Evil God turned to ashes, she entered the dream.

In the cold, dark space, she encountered a great presence full of motherhood.

It was as if she had seen her own mother or some kind elder, who spoke to her about her identity and the glorious destiny she was burdened with.

Through the "Kind Mother’s" words, Teresa learned for the first time that she was actually a so-called descendant of divinity, a bloodline heir of a great existence!

She carried the expectations of the gods upon her.

The gifts from the gods granted her better talents and greater power than ordinary mortals.

They were the offspring of gods, noble Divine Sons.

But every gift comes with a price, and after accepting this blessed bloodline, there will ultimately be a day when she must repay the gods.

At that time, she would offer her body to become a vessel for the gods’ descent onto the mortal world, a way to repay the gods’ favor.

...Just as her mother had done back then, willingly sacrificing everything she had.

After hearing the great presence’s words, Teresa did not actually resist the risk, feeling it was only natural.

However, for some reason, there was always another voice deep in Teresa’s heart, feeling something was not quite right. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But that voice was too small to stir up much of a ripple.

Teresa could only feel familiarity and warmth from the figure before her, a deep-seated respect and admiration.

It was like seeing the source of her bloodline, seeing the true ancestor!

She could only obediently kneel before that mountain-like vague shadow, devoutly listening to its teachings.

And just as Teresa thought this dream would go on indefinitely, a change occurred.

After some time, a brilliant golden light flashed through the dream.

The great presence seemed to suffer some harm, letting out a scream, cursing out in anger.

Before Teresa could react, the enormous shadow shattered, turning into a cloud of smoke and dissipating.

After the smoke cleared, the entire dream space took on a new appearance, transforming into a boundless expanse of pure white.

And in the center of the space, another figure appeared that made Teresa’s eyes widen.

The lord appeared in her dream!

Draped in golden radiance, holding a longsword, giving her a warm, slight smile.

Knight!

It was the Paladin!

The knight Teresa had longed for countless times in her dream walked into her dream once again.

Moreover, in this dream, the knight finally had a face.

It was a beautiful young man with white hair and gray eyes, with a pair of pure white wings extending from his back.

Just like the legendary Apostle descending from the heavens.

Moreover, just as she had imagined, the knight was unusually gentle and kind to her.

He first reached out to Teresa, gently helping her up from the ground, not letting her kneel like she had before the great deity.

Then, the knight voluntarily took the girl’s hand, leading her to stroll through the pure white space.

Teresa had no resistance at all, nor did she want to resist, dazedly following the knight.

The two walked for an unknown amount of time, until Teresa’s frantic heart finally settled down slightly, and the knight finally spoke.

"Teresa, are you calm now?"

"Ah! Hmm? Mmm!"

The girl was startled, feeling much more alert, quickly nodding: "My lord, I’ve calmed down now."

Teresa felt a bit embarrassed and downcast, thinking she was truly hopeless for acting so poorly in front of the knight.

"Hehe, don’t worry."

The knight shook his head with a smile at her nervousness, gently pressing down on her head to comfort her:

"This is your dream; don’t be too tense. You are the master here."

"There’s no one else here; you can show your true self in front of me."

Teresa blinked, hesitated a little, and softly asked: "Really?"

"Of course, really."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head, slowly exhaling, her tense shoulders relaxing.

She was in a daze for a moment, looking around, realizing the dream was indeed empty, just the two of them.

"My lord, you say this is my dream? So, am I dreaming?" Teresa was a bit confused.

If it’s a dream, why am I so awake now?

And why are you appearing in my dream? Could it be that I missed you too much before I fell asleep?

!!!

This bold thought made Teresa’s cheeks flush, shyly biting her lip as she discreetly watched the knight’s expression.

"Yes, and no."

Facing the girl’s burgeoning feelings, the knight remained calm, explaining gently: "If you think this is a dream, then it is a dream, and you will remember nothing upon waking."

"If you believe all of this is real, then it can be considered as fact."

The profound words, seemingly with deep implications, left the village girl with inadequate knowledge baffled, tilting her head in confusion.

Eh?

What does that mean?

Teresa thought about it carefully, quickly chose to give up, and instead asked another curious question.
