Yet, the Dark Knight and the Mermaid god were the greatest treasures.
With two demigods and one pseudo god in her possession, Suzi Han believed she could generate even greater value upon returning home.
Soon, the Dark Knight would serve as the captain of the Divine Kingdom's defense, while the mermaid would assume the role of fishery officer before she had even completely returned home.
Suzi Han had already arranged their respective duties.
The siblings, upon receiving Suzi Han's approval, remained in a state of exhilaration.
When they received the systems transition notification, their excitement heightened and they galloped away on their skeletal horses, disappearing from sight.
Suzie Han sat beside the campfire, gazing at her colossal roasted egg, her spirits lifted.
At the optimal moment, Lon Lon had extinguished the flames.
Now only a perfectly roasted divine beast egg rested on the makeshift stove.
The egg exuded an enticing aroma, a fragrance of protein being scorched, rich, and fragrant.
This scent was typically associated with a roasting of eggs, a unique aroma that could only be encountered during childhood visits to her grandmother's rural home, where chicken eggs were cooked over a traditional earthn stove.
Reproducing such a scent in an air fryer was nearly impossible.
However, in comparison to the effortlessly simple air fryer, one must exercise caution when roasting eggs over an open flame.
For should one mismanage the process, the eggs may either explode or become charred.
Only a grandmother possesses the skill to produce perfectly roasted eggs with a richly brown exterior, a delicacy seldom encountered in bustling metropolises.
Many delectable memories lie buried within the recesses of one s mind.
Suzie Han with a spoon in hand scoops into the freshly roasted mythical beast egg.
Its edges adorned with a ring of deep brown yielding a slightly chewy texture.
Upon reaching the center, the egg reveals a soft and velvety core.
Harmoniously complimented by the flavors of scallions, cilantro, and salt.
A truly intoxicating aroma.
Suzie Han is enveloped in this exquisite taste.
Time passes as she relishes the moment.
reminiscent of the crunching sound of corn being bitten into.
Three days later, having tidied up the chaos, Suzie Han returns home, cradling the fish deity alongside the death knight.
She departs as she arrived empty-handed, say for the addition of three new companions.
Why, one might wonder, does Suzihon embrace the fish deity? Is she truly bringing home a creature with a length exceeding 3 m, its tail spanning two? Not all.
The current incarnation of the fish deity resembles a petite fish no more than a meter in length, embodying the form of a young child of 3 or 4 years.
This juvenile state diminishes its alluring beauty, replacing it with a delicate adorableness, originally devoid of gender.
In this form, it has shed much of its androgynous traits, resembling a charming little girl instead.
With its large silvery eyes fixed upon Suzie Han, it exudes an irresistible cuteness, evoking an overwhelming desire to take it home in a sack.
And so Suzie Han does just that, personally carrying it home.
Who could resist such a soft, delightful little mermaid? Especially one so enchanting, Suzie Han finds herself unable to refuse.
It remains a mystery how the system managed to manifest this youthful form, allowing the little creature to regard Sue Xihan with a maternal mindset, rendering her a mother without the accompanying pains.
However, within the essence of the fish deity lies an imprint of Sue Xi Hon, signifying her eternal dominion over this deity, ensuring unwavering loyalty.
This bond transcends mere familial ties.
The system has healed the fish deity s wounds and restored many of its memories which naturally lean in favor of Suzie Han.
Mother deity it speaks its voice akin to a crystalclear spring ethereal and serene in a fishes recollections.
It perceives itself as a newly born deity having encountered its mother deity which granted it life a new in a previous existence it was a foolish creature left to dry as fish jerky after a failed battle.
The valiant and noble mother deity vanquished the evil god and upon discovering the desecated remains of the foolish being chose not to disdain its past, bestowing upon it a second chance.
From a moment of rebirth, all that belongs to it is its mother deity, severing all ties to its previous existence.
Do not call me mother deity.
It makes me quite shy.
Sue Xihon blushes, addressing the little fish.
Call me elder sister instead.
She gently ruffles the little fish as head.
Behind them, the siblings exchange glances, each reflecting the other as shared sense of resignation.
Initially, I presumed that the systems transformation would diminish the allure of that merman deity by rendering him smaller.
To my surprise, it has only amplified his charm.
It seems that the divine being has become utterly enchanted by that dimminionive sprite.
Moreover, his petite form is quite convenient for the deity to cradle in his embrace.
Brother, what do you think? The sister inquired.
Upon finishing her sentence, she waved her hand and a girl significantly reduced in size yet exuding a striking demeanor materialized before them.
This was the death knight transformed into her youthful state.
Theoretically, as an undead entity, the ability to shapeshift is a standard feature, albeit rarely utilized.
The brother glanced at his sister and then at the deity playfully engaging with a tiny mermaid in the distance.
With a swift gesture, he too transformed into the likeness of small boy.
They exchanged nods.
The two dimminionive children, now perched upon a towering steed, presented a peculiar yet endearing sight.
Suddenly reduced in size, the skeletal horse sneezed, looking up at its master, puzzled by the unexpected change in stature.
After a moment of contemplation, it activated its magic, combining it with the reduction to become a smaller skeletal horse.
This way, being together, both master and steed, appeared much more harmonious.
Suzi Han, accompanied by her loyal followers, returned to the divine realm at the war god s altar on dark island.
As she opened a portal, she turned to behold the dark knight and the skeletal horse, both transformed into their smaller adult forms.
Her pupils constricted for a brief second.
Chapter 74.
The colorful little spirits.
You need not shrink to accompany me home.
My divine realm is quite spacious.
Suzi Han remarked.
At that moment, she mistakenly believed that the two assumed shrinking would facilitate their journey to her divine domain.
They were surprisingly considerate, as newly awakened deities often possess realms of varying sizes.
For instance, Suzi Han's previous life had a divine kingdom spanning several thousand square meters, where shrinking would indeed be more convenient.
The twins exchanged glances and in unison addressed Suzah esteemed deity, we find this form delightful.
It allows us to feel more at ease.
However, their thoughts were evidently at odds with her spoken words.
Through her mindsensing ability, Suzi Han observed the bubbles of thought emerging above their heads, revealing a stark contrast between their internal musings and external expressions.
I have become so small.
Does the esteemed deity wish to see more of me.
Am I cute like this? He how I long to be cradled like a little mermaid.
The deity is looking at me.
Oh, how thrilling.
I yearn to be held in the deity's embrace.
Suzie Han was taken aback.
her grip on the mermaid trembling slightly.
It was not her intention to pry into their thoughts.
The mind-sensing skill activated spontaneously at the mere flicker of her consciousness.
In that instant, the previously harsh winds of the dark island seemed to soften, warming her spine.
Their apparent affection for her had reached a remarkable height.
The twins envied the mermaid's transformation, for she was adorable and could be held close.
Looking down at the mermaid in her arms, Suzie Han noted that after the systems modification, the little mermaid bore a striking resemblance to a child, making her feel less burdened in her embrace.
Yet, despite the twins dimminionive forms, the steadfast image in her mind remained that of two cool, striking knights.
They were grand, impressive twin knights, willing to shrink for her attention, perhaps by adopting their perspective.
The situation was not so different after all.
The mermaid had once been of considerable size, but now in her smaller form, could be cradled in her arms.
If they two were small, could they not also be held? Why then was she holding the mermaid? Suzie Han pondered her sudden ease in embracing a newly acquainted little creature.
Ultimately, she concluded that it might be due to the mermaid's cuteness and the divine mark she had imprinted upon its divine essence, providing a sense of security.
Gently, she released the mermaid, placing on the ground.
Little Chi, you may walk on your own.
A deity must maintain a certain distance from their followers.
