And while reporting, she kept wiping the drool off her face—she was the epitome of a foodie.
Fang Ze looked at her in surprise and then... he didn't believe her at all!
Tricking a ghost, huh? You spent fifty years enlightening a blade of Little Grass, set up eight puppets, and orchestrated such a grand scheme, all for the sake of eating?
How big of a foodie must one be to do such a thing!
Moreover, even if there are foodies like that. It's impossible that every demigod is a foodie, right?
So, you guys are here in the Real World for a buffet, huh?
[Demigod Gourmet Tour?]
Therefore, although he could see that "eating delicacies" was indeed one of the Flower God's goals, Fang Ze believed that there had to be another purpose shared by all demigods that was driving them to descend.
Thinking this, Fang Ze was too lazy to continue arguing with the Flower God: mainly because... the Flower God's spiritual attacks were too strong, so after settling on a trading method, they disconnected.
The trade between them was also very simple.
To prove Fang Ze's sincerity, he would first return Little Grass to her original place, after which, the Flower God would arrange for her subordinates to bury a safe at a location specified by Fang Ze.
Then, Fang Ze would go to retrieve it.
As for what to do if the Flower God broke the agreement, Fang Ze boldly stated, "If you dare break the agreement, I dare to mess up your plans all over again."
So, the two of them made this deal with each one harboring ulterior motives.
As his consciousness returned, Fang Ze thought about the details of the trade with the Flower God and realized there seemed to be no loopholes: he acted like a greedy merchant who wanted to extract every bit of value from the Flower God.
In doing so, his true purpose would be concealed.
Thinking this, he woke up Little Grass and, using a "verbal contract," required her to reveal nothing about himself, the demigod prison, the Late-Night Investigation Room, or her experiences during this time.
It wasn't that Fang Ze didn't trust Little Grass, but it was a protective measure. It not only protected Fang Ze's identity from being exposed but also allowed the naive Little Grass, when entrapped in conversations, to notice something was off.
Indeed, with "personal deprivation" + "verbal contract," only then did Fang Ze dare to scheme against a demigod so boldly.
After all this, Fang Ze retrieved the "Prank Map" transfer tool from his clone.
Then he left the Late-Night Investigation Room, directly releasing Little Grass from the "demigod prison" and returned the now orb-shaped her back to the temple.
While putting Little Grass in place, Fang Ze remarked, "This temple is not scientifically designed."
Less one clone triggers an alarm, and more than one, doesn't trigger any alarm.
Now both he and Little Grass, two "clones," were there without any reaction. What a huge loophole!
After placing Little Grass in the temple, Fang Ze gently soothed her, telling her to send him a mental signal if anything was amiss, and he would come to rescue her.
Little Grass responded with a couple of "yay"s, obediently floating there.
After finishing all this, Fang Ze, with the "Prank Map" in hand, then said to Little Grass, "Then I'm off first! Come and catch me!"
As his words fell, his transfer was activated, and he was directly transported away from the Garden Temple.
Meanwhile, Little Grass, not knowing Fang Ze was activating his power, went "yay yay" a couple of times, tilting her head, her bright red petals trembling....
Meanwhile, at the same time.
Since settling the terms with Fang Ze, the Flower God paced around in the Spirit Realm, anxiously waiting for Fang Ze to fulfill his promise.
Finally, after waiting about fifteen minutes, she first sensed an additional link to her clone, immediately followed by one being cut.
At that moment, the Flower God knew that the annoying man had actually kept his promise.
Thinking this, she hurriedly tried to communicate with her clone.
Indeed, although the one appearing before her still had the "Hand of the Devil" form of the clone, the "yay yay" sound let her know her clone was back!
With this thought, her gaze grew slightly colder. Momentarily, she grasped the "clone's" stem and began summoning her seven puppet subordinates.
Suddenly, waves of spatial fluctuations appeared within the Flower God's Private Garden, followed swiftly by the last puppet who respectfully approached the Flower God Temple.
They initially intended to engage in standard worship practices, pray, bless, and then interact with the Flower God.
However, at that moment, they heard the Flower God's cold voice directly in their ears, "No need for formalities!"
"You useless trashes! You have no idea what I had to endure these past few days!"
"Now! Go fetch me 15 backup 'Qin 28s'!"
"I'm going to attach my Divine Thought to them and find that man who dared to play with me!!"
"He's hiding isn't he!"
"I want to see who he really is!"
"Once I descend, I will find him and drain him alive!"
Perhaps because the entire space was created by the Flower God herself. Now that it's reconnected, the entire space began to tremble slightly, as if it were about to collapse.
The puppets were also startled.
Although they didn't know what had happened, seeing their deity enraged, they dared not ask questions and hurried to the secret location to fetch the backup "Qin 28s".
