The Girls Are All Coveting Me

Chapter 253: First Find a Cage to Keep You In


Kallen didn't want to speak; she just wanted to hit someone.

Actually, going back in time, it seemed like she didn't need to do anything.

After all, she was just going back to collect the True God Uniqueness she scattered; what could go wrong?

However, after obtaining the [Reverse Flow Pocket Watch] from her father and returning to this timeframe, she felt something bad was about to happen.

Nothing else.

She had been significantly weakened.

Originally, her terrifying divine power suddenly seeped out of her body and embedded itself into the stars' crystal wall.

At that moment, she realized that the stars of this era weren't as generous as in the future.

In this era, even high-level divine powers were not allowed to descend to the human world with too much force.

Thinking of this, her expression turned awkward.

This situation wasn't right.

Other deities usually descended using divine incarnations, while their true bodies remained in the divine kingdom outside the stars' crystal wall.

But she descended directly with her true deity form.

In other words, her divine kingdom hanging on the stars' crystal wall was completely empty now.

If she accidentally got blown up directly in the lower realm, it would be a big loss of gold coins.

And it would be a massive, spectacular loss; all her foundations would become cheap for others.

Thinking of this, Kallen instantly became vigilant.

What a joke.

There was no way she would allow herself to fall into such a fate of losing gold coins to others.

She's decided. She'll hide herself a bit for now.

As for that damned woman…

The one who called herself the Desire Mother Tree, boy, her strength was ridiculously strong.

This extremely obscure life energy wasn't at the level ordinary high divine powers should have.

Fortunately, she seemed only curious about her.

Otherwise, if the two of them really fought, it would be very troublesome.

However, after joining the Witch Tea Party, the two quickly slacked off.

One day.

Perhaps feeling a bit bored, the Desire Mother Tree suddenly came up with an idea:

"I'm going out for a while."

"Where to?"

"To teach a foolish woman a lesson."

"Huh?"

"A woman named Abigail, I really dislike her."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find a pet to raise."

"A pet?"

"The kind that can walk upright."

"You mean a human?"

"Yes, find one that pleases my eyes to piss her off."

A mocking smile flashed in the eyes of the Desire Mother Tree, she would never miss any chance to hit Abigail.

As many times as possible, she would seize the opportunity.

"In any case, I'll leave first, and we'll reunite in a few years when there's time."

Kallen waved her hand and said, "Go, go, just get out of my sight, as far away as possible."

She was truly fed up with this crazy woman, although she admitted she didn't have any fondness for the weak and had no desire to befriend short-lived races, she wouldn't regard others as ants either.

This didn't align with what her father taught her.

Of course, she also knew that the crazy woman's state was not right, wrapped in an utterly filthy power. Despite having a lawful divine format, she appeared no different from an evil god.

But… was she going to find a man?

Click, click, click.

These gods played in a much more extravagant way than herself.

Forget it, forget it; it's none of her business.

...

On the other side, after leaving the Witch Tea Party, the Desire Mother Tree was quickly searching for a suitable candidate in the human towns.

"This one won't do, looks too small."

"No dwarves, no elves, no half-elves… Indeed, I'll search for a human."

"Keep looking, if not, go check the next city."

"Ah, ah, ah, ah… Why isn't there a single satisfactory one."

The Desire Mother Tree let out a frustrated cry.

Until, in a certain town, she saw a young boy desperately resisting thieves, his small frame looking somewhat frail, clutching a thief's short sword, struggling to withstand the attack of the adult robbers.

Suddenly, a thought came to her mind:

[This boy seems just right]

She snapped her fingers, and the thieves surrounding the boy fell like weeds.

The boy looked up at the Desire Mother Tree descending from the sky, a look of confusion crossing his eyes.

[Who is she, and why does she seem so familiar?]

"Human, I've taken a liking to you; come and be my companion."

The Desire Mother Tree, with sparkling eyes, looked at the boy in front of her.

This person gave her a pleasing vibe; it was decided, it would be him!

However, her words seemed to have left the boy dumbfounded.

He looked at her in a daze and said:

"Ma'am, do you know what you're saying?"

"I said, come be my companion."

"But your power must be very strong, why would you need someone as weak as me to be your companion?"

The boy lowered his head; he didn't know why, but upon seeing the woman in front of him, he felt a strange emotion arise as if finally reuniting with an unseen lover, a subtle yet bitter feeling emerged:

[It's you, finally seeing you again]

He couldn't understand where that emotion came from, just a bit flustered, waving his hand, saying:

"I'm just an ordinary human, there's no way I can walk a future alongside someone as strong as you."

He had a feeling that the woman in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, at least a legendary strong person that the mercenaries in the Adventurer's Guild bragged about having seen.

That is a legend!

It's said that such strong individuals can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Normally, the Desire Mother Tree would very impatiently tell him, "Shut up, and behave."

But this time, the Desire Mother Tree's actions were unexpectedly smaller than she thought.

She didn't seem to want to scold the young man before her, she just let out a light laugh.

"It's no bother, just a passerby in a long life." Her eyes were deep, unlike the God of Growth and Forest, who was foolish, "It's just to pass the time over the long years."

The young man scratched his head, somewhat confused about the thoughts of the big figure before him.

But, he didn't seem to dislike her much, so he said:

"You saved my life; if this is what you hope for, I am willing."

He always felt like he was forgetting something, suddenly raising his head and saying:

"I, I have no surname, I only know I'm called Chloe."

The Desire Mother Tree looked at him strangely, and after a while, it seemed like something interesting happened to this young man.

"Traces of washed-out memory... never mind, it doesn't matter, no one on this continent can beat me anyway."

"So... where are we going next?"

"First, let's find a cage to house you."

"C-cage?"

In the residential area.

Chloe couldn't hold back his expression, looking at her and said:

"Is this the cage you mentioned?"

Chloe didn't want to speak; whose cage is a building?

This woman's personality is so strange.

But... a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yet somehow, he always felt she was easy to trick.

Interesting!

Chloe couldn't remember many things.

One rainy night years ago, he began to suffer from nightmares.

In his dreams, it seemed like he was swallowed by endless darkness, struggling with no way out.

Young as he was, he opened his eyes to find himself in the slums.

Until one day the Red Moon was bright, his long-term insomnia finally started to relent.

Life in the slums was so unfamiliar, yet made him feel as if he had been there for a long time, like a fish in water.

With a good-looking face, he won many people's favor, he passed through his vulnerable childhood relatively smoothly.

In a slaver's tempting operation, he successfully killed him with his harmless face and gained the Thief's skills from his body.

Instinct told him he was suited to these skills, so he kept the Thief's skill book intact, and without anyone's guidance, he self-taught himself in six months to successfully advance.

Becoming a professional made his life better than before.

But, the appearance of a good thief in the slums attracted a lot of attention from local gangs.

He didn't want to associate with these pests.

The pests were also very unreasonable.

[If you can't get it, destroy it]

Starting from fighting with small gangs, to attracting the big gangs supporting them from behind, to being targeted by the noble's thugs, it all took less than half a month.

His handsome appearance became the reason he was targeted.

In great distress, he could only struggle to support himself.

Although he couldn't remember many things, some things were etched in his mind.

Such as [Rich Lady's Steel Wool], which always made him feel a genuine sense of hatred.

Though he didn't know what Rich Lady's Steel Wool was.

But instinct told him he absolutely mustn't be caught by these people.

Fortunately, he met a great benefactor this time.

This seemingly easy-to-deceive woman might be able to become his protective umbrella.

The most important thing was, his keen perception noticed that the woman had no concept of "raising," and he didn't dislike her.

In this case, then he would repay her kindness.

"I'll cook for you."

Chloe ran to the kitchen with a bright smile.

But when he came out of the kitchen, he couldn't find the woman's trace.

At that moment, he felt a little panic for some reason.

As if something precious had left his world.

He searched every corner of the new house, still not finding traces she left behind.

So he rushed out the door, searching for her traces in the streets and alleys.

However, he found nothing.

Returning home in a daze, a thought suddenly popped into his mind—

"Was I abandoned?"

How could this person... say he would be her companion, yet sneak away like this.

"Next time I see you, I'll lock you up."

A dangerous and twisted look flashed in his eyes.

A murky power spread in his eyes as if wanting to devour everything.

"Why are you standing at the door?"

Suddenly a voice came, as the Desire Mother Tree approached, carrying a bunch of daily necessities.

"What are you staring at? Come help me with the things." A voice full of exasperation resounded, "There are also your things inside, come quickly and get them!"

At this moment, the filth in his eyes seemed nonexistent, vanishing instantly.

"Coming!"

The young man showed a bright smile, making the Desire Mother Tree skip a heartbeat.

This Desire Witch, known for her reckless behavior at the Witch Tea Party, instinctively turned her head away, not daring to look into the boy's eyes.

"Why won't you look at me? Did I do something wrong?"

"So noisy, so noisy, so noisy!"

For some reason, the Desire Mother Tree suddenly got angry.
