Mo Yi lay comfortably, being hugged and kissed by his companion for quite some time. Eventually, he drifted off to sleep, unaware of when Bai Ren had also fallen asleep.
When he woke up, his companion was still holding him tightly, with several tentacles wrapped around him.
“Bai Ren…”
Mo Yi snuggled against his companion’s arm, his black hair messy, clearly still groggy. After yawning, he pressed against Bai Ren, using him as a support to stretch lazily before fully waking up.
After freshening up, Mo Yi quickly went to prepare breakfast for Bai Ren. Once he brought the food back to the table, Bai Ren immediately pulled him into his arms and showered him with kisses.
“We kissed a lot yesterday.”
His stomach growling, Mo Yi gently pushed away the kisses. As much as he loved being close to his companion, he also needed to eat.
“Mhm.” Bai Ren agreed and sat down, pulling Mo Yi into his lap.
He then picked up the food from the table and fed Mo Yi, one bite at a time, interspersed with kisses, being affectionate as ever.
Seeing that there was food to eat, Mo Yi stopped resisting and enjoyed his meal. As for being showered with kisses, he was more than happy to indulge Bai Ren.
Mo Yi wasn’t short by any means, standing at over 1.8 meters tall with the physique of a healthy young man. But his lover was exceptionally tall, and Bai Ren didn’t seem to mind Mo Yi’s weight at all.
For a deity who hadn’t quite figured out everything yet, he simply enjoyed being intimate with his little follower without any reservations.
After finishing their meal, Mo Yi had a plan. They had agreed to act as temporary bodyguards for Mo Shao, and he thought it was a sensible decision.
Even their breakfast was now accounted for by Mo Shao, who was generous and trusting enough to provide them with some silver coins in advance as part of their payment.
Since Mo Shao had many places to visit, Mo Yi and Bai Ren could also familiarize themselves with the environment of this country along the way.
Now that someone was taking care of their needs, Mo Yi and Bai Ren could focus on enjoying themselves, as long as they didn’t stray too far from their benefactor.

Mo Yi noticed that Mo Shao, despite his unassuming appearance, was actually quite smart and had a good business sense. He witnessed Mo Shao successfully negotiate several deals, leaving both parties satisfied and earning a considerable profit. This made Mo Yi realize that perhaps Mo Pei’er hadn’t been exaggerating after all.

“P wera rjs, Zb Vtjb, sbe’gf delaf lwqgfrrlnf!” Zb Tl rlcmfgfis qgjlrfv.
Mo Shao scratched his head with a pleased smile. Seeing them chatting happily, Bai Ren couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Was it really impressive to earn some money from such mundane activities? His little follower seemed inexperienced in the ways of the world. With a powerful deity like himself by his side, why would he consider someone else impressive?
Unaware of his own jealousy and pettiness, Bai Ren, with a stoic expression, emitted an aura of coldness that made Mo Shao shiver involuntarily.
Mo Yi, oblivious to Bai Ren’s jealousy, continued to express his admiration for Mo Shao and even reached out to hold Bai Ren’s arm, continuing the conversation cheerfully.
Seeing Mo Yi holding Bai Ren’s arm, Mo Shao relaxed. Indeed, Bai Ren’s cold demeanor softened once Mo Yi touched him.
Having done well in the business in Uka City and purchased what he needed, Mo Shao proudly bought a carriage, intending to travel to other cities in the Stowe Empire.
However, during their journey to another city, they would pass through a forest inhabited by many ferocious beasts. Most people traveled in groups or paid a small fee to accompany a mercenary group for safety.
Mo Shao, blindly trusting Mo Yi and the man named Bai Ren, believed that with them around, there was nothing to fear on the road. Moreover, having them along would speed up their journey and save them a lot of trouble.
Mo Shao could drive the carriage himself, as could Mo Yi. They could take turns, and Mo Shao was talkative, so they had plenty to chat about on the road. Mo Yi also felt that Mo Shao was a good friend.
However, Bai Ren felt increasingly neglected. His little follower’s attention wasn’t solely focused on him, which made the divine being very angry, yet he didn’t know how to express it.
As a god, he shouldn’t feel anger over such trivial matters.
As they traveled, Mo Yi and Mo Shao were chatting and driving the carriage when they suddenly heard cries for help not far away. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blond man holding a knife, backed against a large tree, facing off against a pack of wolves.
“Please help me! I beg you, save me!” The blond man, sweating profusely, cried out for help while keeping a wary eye on the wolves, ready to attack at any moment.
Mo Yi immediately stopped the carriage and got off. He wasn’t a saint, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch an innocent person die if he could help.
Before he could take a step, numerous black wisps of mist arrived at the wolves like tendrils, entwining them and hurling them away into the distance.
Shocked, the three remaining people turned to see Bai Ren standing on top of the carriage, wearing a black robe, with blood-red eyes that appeared both terrifying and mysterious.
“My goodness, this gentleman is…” Mo Shao was astounded. Although he had been with Mo Yi and Bai Ren for some time, it was the first time he had seen Bai Ren use his divine power and reveal his difference from humans.
Before Mo Yi could explain to Mo Shao, the blond man who had been saved rushed over and knelt before Bai Ren.
“Hastur, Lord Hastur! Great god of the Dark World, I am Gregory, your loyal follower. I can’t believe I’m really seeing you!”
The blond youth, Gregory, was filled with fanaticism as he began to prostrate himself before Bai Ren.
Although the era of gods had passed, as a descendant of alchemists, Gregory had always believed that one day, he would encounter a true deity and revitalize his declining family.
Now, when he was in danger, this man appeared out of nowhere, just like the descriptions in the books: dressed in black robes, blood-red eyes exuding endless darkness, and displaying powerful abilities.
Who else could it be but Hastur!
Gregory was convinced without a doubt. Mo Shao was astonished to hear Bai Ren being addressed as a deity.
Facing the blond man’s worship, Bai Ren couldn’t help but glance at Mo Yi. He had realized that this was an opportunity to showcase his power. Although these wolves were no match for him, all creatures on this continent were so fragile and not worth opposing.
Even the smallest and most insignificant creatures could help Bai Ren demonstrate his power to his little follower.
Unperturbed by Gregory’s worship, Bai Ren waited quietly for Mo Yi’s reaction.
Mo Yi, ever eager to please his partner, didn’t disappoint. He immediately applauded and looked at the man with admiration, saying, “Bai Ren, you’re amazing!”
The divine being’s lips curled into a noticeable smile as he reached out his hand towards Mo Yi. Seeing Mo Yi happily coming over to hold his hand and casually glancing at Mo Shao nearby, Bai Ren’s eyes showed a hint of disdain and satisfaction.
Mo Shao inexplicably felt that Bai Ren’s gaze contained a trace of contempt and satisfaction, which left him feeling conflicted as he scratched his head.
After rescuing the man and ensuring that the blond man was unharmed, the three of them planned to leave by carriage.
Despite the man’s worshipful attitude towards Bai Ren and revealing his other name, Bai Ren had no intention of getting involved with this follower.
However, Gregory wasn’t willing to let go of this opportunity. In his eyes, this deity was the straw that could save his family from ruin.
So he hurriedly caught up and implored, “Supreme deity, I am your faithful follower. Please grant me strength to revive my family.”
Bai Ren furrowed his brow slightly. How could the power of a god be easily bestowed? It seemed he had rescued himself into trouble.
He didn’t even bother to refuse verbally, just gave the man a cold look.
Gregory broke into a cold sweat instantly but still didn’t give up. He continued, “Please believe in my sincerity. My entire family will be your most loyal servants. Please allow me to follow you, and I promise not to disturb you.”
With a hopeful look, Gregory squeezed onto the carriage but wisely chose not to enter the compartment, instead casting a pleading gaze at Mo Shao.
Seeing this, Mo Shao thought it wouldn’t be safe for someone to travel alone in the forest. He decided to be a good person and offered to take Gregory to the next city.
So, Mo Shao lifted the carriage curtain and said something to Mo Yi inside.
Mo Yi thought it made sense and didn’t object.
Luckily, Gregory was somewhat tactful. He didn’t disturb Bai Ren inside the carriage during the journey. Instead, he quietly asked Mo Shao about the situation. Mo Shao took turns driving the carriage with him. Mo Yi stayed inside the carriage with Bai Ren.
This arrangement pleased Bai Ren. He held onto Mo Yi tightly, enjoying the intimacy with his little follower without any interruptions.
However, when they arrived at another city, Gregory refused to leave. Once again, he begged to stay, emphasizing his loyalty.
Mo Yi noticed something peculiar as Gregory spoke. There was a circular pendant hanging from his chest, similar to the one he had!
Will this Gregory become a helping hand or an annoying fly🤔( he is already annoying me lol)
Thank you for the update!!~
I think it might be related to Gregory that the Mo family became suppressors out of followers.
Thank you for the update.
Thank you for the chapter!!
Uh oh, the mention of the pendant is making me nervous 😥
Uwah another pendant? Was this some time traveling bug?
