After flipping through the previous pages, Felyn became even more suspicious of Daiyi's identity.
In this world, only demons and evil god worshippers wouldn't revere the gods.
Evil god followers generally didn't have families.
Because they were all sacrificed.
So it could only be demons.
A witch perhaps?
But whether Demon King or evil god, his contract didn't specify that service targets had to be human.
Daiyi wasn't violating the contract on this point.
Felyn flipped through a book wrapped in leather beside the notebook. After reading two or three lines, he knew this was a forbidden book.
It recorded unknown stories among the gods.
Felyn really couldn't determine Daiyi's identity, so he decided not to think about what he couldn't figure out.
Regarding Daiyi's disrespectful notebook content about the gods, Felyn felt indifferent—it seemed like her style.
Daiyi merely harbored disrespectful thoughts about the gods, while he had actually done things that defiled them.
Seals also contained divine power and were thus considered part of the gods.
His cheat ability used in the dungeon—simultaneously activating and terminating two seals to randomly release 1st-7th order effects—such irregular procedures were like taking goddesses to an orgy.
By this logic, he was even more heavyweight.
Hearing Daiyi get up from the sofa, Felyn hastily restored the notebook on the desk to avoid detection.
He didn't notice his still-wet hands from washing dishes had slightly dampened several pages of the notebook.
Water drops spread on the paper, making some characters blurry.
"Finished washing? Tonight I'll start teaching you divine church knowledge." Daiyi's voice came from behind.
...
"Wait, I forgot to ask you."
Daiyi's expression was somewhat serious, her eyebrows rarely furrowed.
"Are you from this world?"
The dining table held Daiyi's favorite fruits and steaming black tea, with lemon scones beside the teacup.
Daiyi propped her cheek with one hand while tapping the desk with the other.
"That's really harsh to say." Felyn replied.
"Then why don't you know any of this common knowledge?"
Daiyi looked at the score of 10 on the test paper and gently shook her head.
To pay for room and board, Daiyi had started tutoring Felyn on divine church knowledge.
She'd first given Felyn a test—he only scored 10 out of 100 points.
"At least I still got ten points."
Daiyi glanced at Felyn, seeming to say this man actually had courage to say such things.
"You got such basic questions wrong. Why can't you remember relationships between gods?"
Felyn looked at the relationship chart Daiyi had drawn for him, nearly going crazy.
A person would only worship one main god, using that deity's power as their primary divine arts source.
But if other gods had high compatibility with the main god, they could also use other deities' divine arts.
"Several hundred divine churches—it's really difficult to remember."
Felyn was ready to surrender.
"Take this Mir Divine Church and Carles Divine Church—both branches of Space Divine Church. Why is their compatibility low?"
Daiyi took a sip of black tea and said leisurely.
"Because Mir cuckolded Carles. He was caught by Carles while sleeping with Carles' wife. It's that simple."
"Huh?"
Felyn felt like he'd heard something incredible.
"You think I'm joking? These are all carved in murals at Space Divine Church's holy site, just not publicly spread."
"So..."
"So the so-called compatibility is just how well those gods get along—good relationships mean high compatibility, otherwise low compatibility."
Felyn seemed to see those gods really having an orgy.
"With these grades, you'd better find several good girls to support your latter half of life and give up your Royal Capital dreams early."
Daiyi ruthlessly stated the most objective truth.
But Daiyi wasn't wrong.
Learning divine church knowledge from scratch in such a short time and passing exams was extremely difficult.
"I originally wanted to give up too." Felyn lowered his head, unconsciously drawing circles on paper.
"But as a boyfriend, I can't embarrass Miss Daiyi. Plus as long as Miss Daiyi is willing to be my teacher, I think I can definitely do it."
One sentence left Daiyi speechless, only able to silently drink tea while using her hair to hide her expression.
"Intermission."
Felyn went to brew fresh tea for Daiyi while she came to the balcony, looking at the night view outside.
She took a deep breath—everything today was like a dream.
She looked at her hands, still bearing ink stains.
Since coming to Seiwa, Daiyi had stayed in the luxury suite her father arranged without coming out.
If not for Felyn visiting three days a week, she probably wouldn't even be able to speak now.
Several fireflies flickered in the darkness like scattered stars in the night sky.
Daiyi's gaze followed the green flames in the night sky, feeling a trace of false warmth.
"Daiyi, the tea is ready!"
Daiyi closed the window, preparing to return to the living room.
As she left, she saw her notebook on the table.
Her dark green pupils contracted, her whole body trembling.
She hurriedly stepped forward to messily gather the books and notebook into her arms, quickly departing.
Only after coming to her senses did she realize she'd returned to the bedroom.
Had Felyn seen it?
He must have seen it!
Daiyi pulled out a chair and slumped over the desk, black hair falling powerlessly onto the notebook.
She pressed her face against the book, gazing out the window.
Was all this going to end?
If Felyn knew what she was researching, he would definitely distance himself like everyone else.
Because everyone feared her thoughts would affect their faith in the gods.
Whether family or friends, Daiyi could see fear in their eyes.
So be it—end all this and find another place to continue her research.
Perhaps this was her fate, destined to be alone.
"Miss Daiyi, are you feeling unwell? Why did you suddenly return to your room?"
The door was knocked by Felyn, making Daiyi alert.
She straightened up, put away the notebook and books, returning her expression to normal.
"Mm, feeling a bit unwell."
"Then I'll bring you hot milk. Drink it and rest early."
Felyn's footsteps gradually faded.
Daiyi unconsciously touched the book's edge.
He probably didn't notice.
Otherwise he definitely wouldn't contact her and would tell her to leave immediately.
Thinking this, Daiyi's heart finally relaxed, her tense expression softening somewhat.
"Miss Daiyi, may I come in?"
After getting Daiyi's permission, Felyn pushed open the door and entered.
He keenly noticed Daiyi stealing glances at him.
Could it be!
Could Daiyi have been so angry from tutoring him that she coughed up blood!
Am I really that bad?
Felyn placed the milk on the table, carefully observing Daiyi.
"Miss Daiyi, shall I massage your shoulders?"
Daiyi was stunned, instinctively shifting aside.
"Ur... Um... Okay."
Her voice was lighter than usual, as if hiding something.
Felyn's hands gently fell on her shoulders. Through the thin knit sweater, he could feel her slight trembling.
She was actually trembling from his anger!
Felyn felt his self-esteem seriously damaged.
"Felyn, I have a question for you."
"Go ahead."
Felyn was prepared to be mocked by Daiyi.
"If someday you discovered your client was someone hunted and hated by the whole world, would you still serve her?"
Felyn's hands continued massaging Daiyi's shoulders.
"Depends on the person. If it were someone else, I might consider terminating the contract."
Daiyi's eyelashes drooped slightly, her gaze dimming.
"But if it were Miss Daiyi, no, because we're lovers. Since we're lovers, we should hold hands and face all problems together. So I wouldn't leave Miss Daiyi."
"I wouldn't hold hands with you..."
Though Daiyi said this, Felyn could feel her tense shoulders suddenly relax.
She lowered her head, long hair hiding her reddened ear tips, but those slightly trembling eyelashes and pursed lips couldn't hide her inner turmoil.
"It's getting late. Rest early, Miss Daiyi."
Felyn closed the door and left. Only then did Daiyi's heart completely calm.
Good thing he didn't notice.
Daiyi was still savoring Felyn's words just now.
"Don't blindly promise things you don't understand..." Daiyi murmured to herself, her face bearing rare gentleness. Her tone was very light, light like acting spoiled.
Daiyi took out her notebook, casually flipping through to see today's records.
Her hand froze on one page.
There were obvious water stains on it.
They definitely weren't there before cooking.
She slammed the notebook shut, her whole body like being struck by lightning, those dark green eyes instantly dilating.
Felyn had seen it!
