Ishtar was slightly stunned.
Because Moran directly took her hand.
She instinctively wanted to throw it away.
However, at the moment when she looked up, she saw Moran’s handsome face full of tenderness.
In her impression, Ishtar has a superficial impression of Moran.
Only the arrogance like a god king, the beauty that is not like a human being, and the unyielding domineering comparable to an emperor.
However, this warm smile like a spring breeze.
But it made the goddess of Venus slightly lost.
——This hateful man also has this side to him?
Moran noticed Ereshkigal’s reaction.
That expression wasn’t one of shyness or calmness, but rather surprise, as if she was seeing him act this way for the first time.
This made Moran feel strange.
In the past, he always dated Ereshkigal , so she should be used to it by now.
Could it be "that time of the month" for women?
No way, do goddesses have that too?
Moran pondered past experiences.
It seemed Artemis also had days when she was moody.
He had tried asking about this before.
As a result, Artemis forced him to play a hunting game all day and chased him around, scolding him for not understanding women’s hearts.
He was the prey, and Artemis was the hunter.
Ishtar’s absent-mindedness was only momentary.
She quickly suppressed her surprise and instead scrutinized Moran with curious eyes.
If she knew what Moran was thinking right now,
Ishtar would probably have Maanna fire on all cylinders.
If any other human dared to touch me , I would blast them to pieces without hesitation. But, special circumstances, special treatment. I can’t let Moran realize something is wrong with me.
[Ishtar recalled the Ereshkigal in her memories]
[And the information Siduri provided]
[She tried her best to hide her harsh side, trying to fit into the role of a partner]
[—Be gentle, be shy, be clingy]
[Show the charm of the goddess Ishtar here, and completely steal him away from Ereshkigal]
[The only treasure loved by the goddess of the underworld]
[If she could snatch him away from her hands and trample her underfoot]
[Wouldn’t that perfectly prove her excellence as the mistress of the heavens?]
[This is the best revenge plan]
Thinking of this, a seductive blush appeared on Ishtar’s face.
Her eyes were fixed on Moran.
Walking on the road, Moran felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Something seemed off.
According to his memory, Ereshkigal would indeed stare at him "affectionately" in the past.
However, compared to the past, when her eyes were full of tenderness and affection, now it felt more like being licked by a venomous snake, a suffocating feeling.
Could it be that he made her angry?
That shouldn’t be the case, right?
Moran couldn’t think of anything he did to make her angry.
The last time they parted, Ereshkigal kissed him goodbye and excitedly talked about her vision for the future of the underworld.
Thinking that perhaps he wasn’t giving her enough care,
Moran not only held Ishtar’s hand but also embraced her possessively yet gently.
Ishtar, who was immersed in her wonderful revenge plan, snapped back to reality.
This was the first time she had been held .
Even gods couldn’t treat her so disrespectfully, yet this man ignored the dignity of a goddess.
The first feeling Ishtar had was displeasure.
However, she didn’t show it, choosing instead to continue using her superb acting skills to disguise herself.
[But some things can’t be faked]
[Ishtar has never understood what true love is; she only knows how to accept the love others offer her]
[Therefore, she can’t understand Ereshkigal’s restraint in guarding the underworld, nor can she understand your importance to Ereshkigal]
[Even less can she understand Ereshkigal’s loneliness]
[She can’t fake Ereshkigal’s shyness, can’t express the kind of cuteness that makes your heart flutter]
[It was also at the moment you hugged her]
[That you noticed all of the above]
[And therefore, you began to examine the true identity of the woman before you, wondering who had taken over Ereshkigal’s vessel]
[You had taken precautions against this when you created it]
[After thinking about it, you knew who this person was]
[Since she has a grudge against you and has the ability to descend into this vessel, it could only be that crazy woman]
[That’s right, it could only be Ishtar]
[She probably wants to use this method to get revenge]
[To be honest, when you thought of this, you couldn’t help but laugh—Ishtar was too presumptuous]
[She underestimated the love between you and Ereshkigal]
[And overestimated her own acting skills]
[A goddess who has never loved anyone equally, how could she ever come into contact with true love?]
[As the goddess of love and beauty who has never experienced true love, in your eyes, Ishtar is even more pathetic than the love god Aphrodite]
[Faced with Ishtar’s malicious intentions]
[You don’t plan to expose her]
[Even if you did, it would only make Ishtar fly into a rage and then bombard Uruk like crazy]
[In the end, it would only be the people of Uruk who would suffer]
[Usually, Ishtar isn’t very well-behaved; she inflicts many unreasonable things upon the world to vent her displeasure]
[Since Ishtar is the city god of Uruk]
[The people of Uruk can only accept it]
[They basically treat the disasters caused by the goddess as natural disasters, and the people are miserable and can only resign themselves to fate]
[Rather than letting Ishtar wreak havoc on the people of Uruk, you’d rather play with Ishtar for a while longer]
[This way, not only can you divert Ishtar’s attention, but you also won’t feel bored... Moreover, you’re also very curious about how unreasonable Ishtar can be and how exactly she plans to take revenge]
[Given Ishtar’s level of madness, dealing with her is like disarming a bomb, requiring extreme caution]
[This unique challenge]
[On the contrary, aroused your interest]
Moran thought about many things in an instant.
Also, his acting skills were not weak at all, and the tenderness on his face did not change in the slightest.
This made Ishtar very pleased.
She believed that she had successfully deceived this man.
That’s right, this is a love affair of mutual deception.
This is an unprecedented experience for both Moran and Ishtar.
