854 Goddesses' Leisure Time
“How unbecoming of you, God King. While some of us were resting, you followed us to the ladies’ room. The banquet of gratitude will be held when the night sky falls, right?” Gaia turned around and unfolded a folding fan to partially cover her face.
“Eh-uh, that’s all from us. The event will be held at the grand palace hall.” Ileus raised his hand in farewell, then flew out rather hastily. He entered the room at the wrong time, and Earth Mother’s wanted to politely evict them.
Several high-rank Gods immediately excused themselves and flew out, leaving Fortuna and Darkness behind.
“You two seem to get along now. Even though it’s the Heaven Realm, we’ve seen quite a few devils and demons. With a public enemy, there’s no difference since your goals are all the same.” Elena got up from the bed and smoothed her hair with magic.
“Yeah, the Divine Association is formed because of it, and everyone came together for one common goal. However, no one can predict the future because there are too many variables.” Gaia replied with a faint smile and closed her eyes.
“At least, Heaven Realm will be free from trouble or conflict for the next few years, fufu~ Hopefully, the patch can last a very long time, just like the boundary.” Lifa spread her arms and looked up at the sky.
“Hmm, the heavenly laws have taken care of that. We can’t touch the ends of the sky anymore now. It’s back to being the boundless sky.” Gaia also glanced up at the sky.
“Whoa, I finally get to meet you. Are you really Elysia’s master. Gorgeous! What a wonderful divine aura. It’s a pleasure to meet you, the Goddess of Light. If that’s possible, could you graced me with your name?” Fortuna immediately approached Elysia’s master.
“You can call me Lina.” Elena raised her palm to prevent the other party from getting too close.
“Ah, Goddess Lina. I’ve been wanting to talk to you since last month. We’ve met since yesterday, but the opportunity never came. Elysia, Goddess Lina, would you mind having a little chat with me over a cup of tea?” Fortuna invites with enthusiasm.
She tried to keep her words polite even though she realized something unnatural. Earth Mother and the Goddess of Life had warned her to keep everything about Elysia and the Goddess of Light secret. Offending or disturbing Elysia and the Goddess of Light was prohibited.
“I’ll join you later.” Elysia smiled in reply. She wanted lunch, not a cup of tea and cookies.
“…” Elena tried to assess this Fate Goddess’s intention. For some reason, she felt this Goddess was just trying to curry a favor.
“Fortuna, can you see the future? I’ve been wondering, but what do you see about us?” Elena suddenly asked.
“Hmm, it’s a bit embarrassing to say even though I am the Fate and Fortune Goddess. Your threads of destiny are still shrouded in an endless thick fog. I have no way of peering any further. However, your good fortune knows no bound. I can see and guarantee it.” Fortuna made a V hand sign with a confident smile.
“I see…” Elena nodded in understanding and glanced at Lifa. She could guess something had happened because this Fate Goddess was no longer trying to dig up anything noteworthy.
Fortuna then just exchanged pleasantries to get to know the other better. She wanted to talk to Elysia too, but the girl in question was having lunch with the girls in the dining room.
Elysia occasionally checked on Elena’s situation, but she only found Fortuna trying to make a good impression.
Elena and Fortuna possessed lustrious long golden hair, charming white satin skin, golden eyes that seemed to radiate a holy aura, and perfect body curves.
Because Elena and Fortuna had some similarities in physical appearances, Elysia could see them as distant relatives sometimes.
“This is just a palace’s dish. Where is Elysia’s culinary delight that you crave?” Darkness looked at all the dishes on the table, then the serving trolley.
“My culinary delight?” Elysia blinked her eyes innocently. It took her a few seconds to realize what that meant.
“Would you like to make a dessert, everyone? We have some time until the banquet.” Elysia put her hands together.
The invitation made enthusiasm immediately soar. Everyone around the dining table agreed without delay.
Therefore, they borrowed an empty room to make dessert since Fortuna’s room did not have a kitchen. They have full equipment, and nothing is a problem.
Moments later, everyone got a few servings of their delicious dessert. Everyone feels blessed and happy.
“Here, please enjoy.” Elysia brought some dessert to the table near the balcony and served it to the Goddesses.
“Oh my, thank you. By looking at their happy expressions, I can see that your cooking skills are loved by everyone.” Gaia smiled in amusement as she looked at the girls’ blessed expressions, even Darkness. They enjoyed their dessert.
“Ely’s skills are on par with heavenly chefs. With top-class materials from another world, you will definitely like them.” Lifa covered her mouth in a light chuckle.
“Ely, sit here.” Elena patted the empty seat next to her. The five of them would have a small talk before the banquet.
“Thanks for the dessert.” Fortuna is curious about the so-called Elysia’s culinary delight now. The pudding-like cake before her looked very tempting too.
However, a ‘daredevil’ suddenly snatched her dessert.
“Ely, it’s not good to feed a vegetarian with a dessert like this. It contains eggs and other ingredients. She only eats fruit and vegetables, you know. Here, I replaced your dessert with this one. Don’t thank me~” Darkness placed a bowl of fresh fruit and vegetables in front of Fortuna, then carried away the dessert.
“E-eh?” Fortuna was stunned for a few seconds. She was already holding the spoon, but her dessert had been stolen.
“Yummy~ It’s a shame that a vegetarian like Fortuna can’t eat food like this. It must be a curse for her.” Darkness devoured the desert slowly.
“Yes, it is a curse.”
“A torment.”
“Perhaps, it’s just a preference?”
The girls commented on the statement with an opinion. They looked at the Fate Goddess and felt pity.
“Darkness… I like eating fruits and vegetables, but that doesn’t mean I hate other foods like what you guys are eating.” Fortuna clenched her fist out of frustration. She wanted to beat Darkness so much now.
“Don’t be so grumpy. We still have some more.” Elena pushed her dessert forward to Fortuna.
“Eh?” Fortuna was astonished. “You don’t want to taste the dessert your disciple made for you?”
“…” Elysia didn’t speak and just brought out the new dessert for Elena. She still had some in reserve.
“Oh~” Fortuna nodded in understanding and tasted that dessert without regret. As the girls said, it was true that this kind of dessert was definitely in the same class as the cuisine made by a heavenly chef.
“Amazingly delicious. Those foodstuffs from another world are truly amazing. Really, are you really a sixteen-year-old girl or just an immortal at sixteen? This kind of skill can’t be forged in a short time.” Fortuna stared at Elysia as if trying to discover the truth, but she gave up.
“I’m flattered. However, I think it’s a normal cooking skill.” Elysia put her hand to her cheek. She didn’t feel special.
“That’s just your opinion, Ely. Perhaps, you were the world’s best chef in your previous life?” Sylvia raised her hand.
“I don’t remember anything like that ever happening.” Elysia shook her head with an amused smile.
“Ely, Fortuna just can’t cook anything. That’s why she only eats fresh fruit and vegetables. She got banned in the kitchen because she was a disaster.” Darkness stated an open secret for everyone to know.
“Disaster? It’s not that bad, is it?” Elysia blinked her eyes a few times with an innocent gaze.
She observed Fortuna’s situation. Goddess Fortuna was probably just clumsy in the kitchen.
“Uh, anyway, what are you going to do after this? I mean, after the banquet?” The corners of Fortuna’s lips twitched. She immediately changed the topic.
“We will return to Earth Realm with Earth Mother. We will be there for about a week before returning to Vrelenia. The Ruvoid God has caused a lot of trouble for us, but the Ruvoid Race is still a huge threat in Vrelenia.” Elysia turned to the Goddesses before answering.
“I see… God King will send some powerful Gods to help you save your world. So, please don’t come back in a hurry. We will come to you in a few days. No, I will meet you the day after tomorrow, and God King can follow when his business is done.” Fortuna raised her finger for attention because it was important.
“We will be waiting for you. However, not more than a week.” Elena heaved a quiet sigh and enjoyed her dessert.
“How wonderful… you are a Fairy Goddess, and this dessert is just like a hill of delish.” Darkness rested her head on her hands while watching the Fairy Goddess enjoying dessert.
“This is my privilege. I feel it’s amazing to be a fairy.” Nell put her hand to her chest proudly. She then looked at everyone; most of them had already finished their dessert. However, she didn’t want to share her food.
At that moment, she suddenly noticed someone’s absence. “Wait, where is Gio? Is he still asleep in the next room?”
“Gio? Oh, he might still be sunbathing on the balcony!” Vanessa put her hand on her head. She forgot about her junior.
Therefore, she immediately went to the next room to pick him up. Once she returned with the little earth dragon, she asked her master for a portion of dessert for Gio.
