At the sight of her firm and resolute expression that brooked no refusal, Meng Lei had no choice but to keep the divine weapons away.
The Fairy Goddess heaved a sigh of relief. Then, the puzzled goddess asked, “Why are you in this place?”
“I found a space-time rift in Light Continent that was directly connected to another existential plane. After I arrived at that existential plane, I got to know of the Boundless Plane and its related matters, so I came over after that,” explained a smiling Meng Lei.
“I see.”
The Fairy Goddess nodded slightly. She had a somewhat complex look on her countenance as she said, “Your speed of improvement is simply too fast. If memory serves me right, you’re only 25-years-old, right?”
-years-old?
Seriously?
A huge jolt went through the other goddesses upon hearing the Fairy Goddess’ words, and looks of incredulity adorned their faces. Which among them hadn’t had to cultivate for a few million years before they became higher deities?
And yet that guy... was only 25-years-old?
What kind of joke was that?
However, what gave them a mental breakdown next was that Meng Lei actually acknowledged it. He replied, “I’ve just turned 25, I guess.”
Hiss!
The goddesses gasped sharply at once. In particular, the Lava Goddess’ face even flushed red.
I’ve been defeated by a little brat who’s only 25-years-old?
“To think you’re already this strong when you’re only 25 years old! I really don’t know how you managed to do it!”
The Fairy Goddess chuckled wryly, feeling as though she had lived her life in vain.
“To tell the truth, even as of now, I actually haven’t deified yet,” Meng Lei rubbed his nose and said, “My physical body is just a little stronger than most, that’s all.”
“You haven’t deified yet? How can that be?”
A huge shudder went through the goddesses again. However, the Fairy Goddess instead replied, “You haven’t deified yet? I’d thought that you would choose to do it.”
“No, I didn’t.”
Meng Lei shook his head.
The goddesses didn’t know what to say anymore. He was already this strong when he hadn’t even deified yet? How the heck did he exactly cultivate?
Was he cultivating his divine body instead?
Oh my goodness!
Was there anyone who didn’t know that it was a million times harder for one to cultivate their divine body than to comprehend and fuse laws of nature?
In any case, Meng Lei had astounded the whole group of goddesses. They felt as if they were dreaming.
“I knew you were a strange one the moment I took notice of you back then. Little did I expect that you’d be even more of a monster than what you had shown in the past, though!”
The Fairy Goddess could only chuckle wryly. “What are your plans now? Are you going to explore the Boundless Plane?”
“I’m just here to have fun,” replied a smiling Meng Lei with a nod.
Then, he suddenly said rather embarrassedly, “Your Holiness, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can fulfill it for me.”
The Fairy Goddess was taken aback for a moment before she replied, “Tell me about it.”
“I’d like a drop of your blood!”
Meng Lei’s eyes shone brightly as he spoke with a look of anticipation. The Fairy Goddess had a wood-origin divine body. Since he’d bumped into her today, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity, of course.
“What do you want my blood for?”
The Fairy Goddess was bewildered.
“I have great use for it!”
Meng Lei feigned a mysterious smile and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t take it for free.”
“Alright, I guess!”
Although the Fairy Goddess was puzzled and confused, it was just a drop of blood anyway. It wasn’t a big deal.
Meng Lei brought out three divine weapons after he took the drop of blood from her. Apart from the armor and sword from just now, there was also a ring that gave off divine spirit energy waves.
“These three divine weapons come as a set. One defends against physical attacks, one defends the divine spirit, and the last one is an offensive weapon. Additionally, they are all high-tier higher deity-level divine weapons.”
A set of three high-tier higher deity-level divine weapons!
The expressions on all the goddesses’ countenances changed at once. Their eyes, as they gazed at the set of three divine weapons, were filled with a huge sense of astoundment. After all, a set of high-tier higher deity-level divine weapons was comparable to a Great Perfection-level divine weapon!
It was invaluable!
“No, these are too precious. I can’t take them!” The Fairy Goddess declined the gifts.
“Your blood is very important to me. It’s worth much more than just three divine weapons.”
Meng Lei brooked no refusal. He teleported and left immediately after stuffing the three divine weapons into the Fairy Goddess’ arms. Now that he had gotten his hands on the blood, it was time to plunder the wood-origin divine body!
“Meng Lei!”
The Fairy Goddess called out to him twice, but Meng Lei was already nowhere in sight a long time ago. She stared at the divine weapons—it didn’t feel right no matter whether she took them or left them, and she felt rather troubled for a moment there.
“Just take them for now, Diana.”
The Lava Goddess sighed.
“Alright, I guess!”
The Fairy Goddess shook her head slightly and kept the three divine weapons away.
“Who exactly is that guy, Diana?”
“Is he really not even 25 yet, Diana?”
“He’s so nice to you, Diana. Is he interested in you...”
The goddesses surrounded the Fairy Goddess right away and peppered her with questions noisily.
“It’s not what you’re imagining...”

Somewhere 10 million kilometers away, Meng Lei had
