Chapter 1161: Chapter 537: Metamorphosis

"Hmph, I don’t want to!"

The little ice and snow cat deity didn’t fall into her embrace, deftly dodged to a branch on the other side, and raised a paw to clear the snow on her head.

"Hecayas, be good~ Don’t throw a tantrum, come to me quickly~"

But after Hecayas painstakingly finished cleaning herself, she groomed the fur behind her ears with her paw and glanced sidelong at Uphemia, huffing, "Who wants to listen to you? I’m leaving, I want to find Herbert!"

What?

Upon hearing this, Uphemia’s pine snow body stiffened again for a moment, shaking off a large pile of snow.

The little ice and snow cat deity, unable to dodge in time, was once again covered entirely, buried right up to her body with only her head exposed.

"Hey! What do you mean by that?"

"Ha!"

"Do you want to fight!?"

As a Divine, and even a Goddess holding the authority of [ice and snow], her reactions shouldn’t be so slow.

But when she’s in the Divine Kingdom of the Cold Winter Goddess, Hecayas’s power is suppressed and retracted, slowing her reaction time considerably.

Moreover, upon returning to the safe "hometown", she naturally became lazy and didn’t think of using her powers.

As a result, are you daring to provoke me repeatedly?

Ha!

I will duel with you!

The Cold Winter Goddess at this moment didn’t pay attention to the puffing little cat but kept hearing a name echoing in her mind—Herbert.

Herbert again!

She hasn’t even sorted out the matters with Fulingya yet, and her little cat is so eager to go to that Herbert!

Although she knew her little cat was very interested in this mortal, she still felt a bit jealous.

I’ve just come back!

You need to give me some emotional support, okay?

Don’t just run off so heartlessly right when I arrive!

Although Herbert probably wouldn’t do anything to Hecayas, well... it’s hard to say.

But recalling how much time it took for something to happen with Fulingya from her initial proposal, Uphemia felt she couldn’t underestimate Herbert’s speed of action.

This is a man of action.

When something arises, he really takes action.

Letting Hecayas, this little cat deity, go over there without any defense, who knows when they’ll have a little kitten!

"Wait, uh, if they do have a little kitten, that might not be so bad?"

The Cold Winter Goddess blinked rapidly, imagining such a beautiful future, suddenly hesitating again.

That little kitten would definitely be very cute!

It seems there’s something to look forward to.

Maybe, um... ahem!

Though she really wanted them to quickly bring a little kitten, Uphemia still kept her wits about her, struggling to suppress the thought and shook her head.

"...Not for now."

Uphemia shook her head, stopping the little cat deity who was about to sneak out the door, and directly grabbed hold of Destiny’s scruff.

?

Lifting Hecayas, she knew the difference in strength between herself and the enemy and didn’t struggle mindlessly, but swished her tail discontentedly, glancing sidelong and saying, "What do you suddenly mean by this?"

You hadn’t stopped me before.

"The situation is different now."

Uphemia shook her head, unable to explain her complex reasons, only coming up with a different excuse: "The God of Sand and Stone has just fallen, and the world’s structure is about to change again. You stay quietly in the Divine Kingdom and are not allowed to go anywhere."

Hecayas wiggled discontentedly, baring her teeth, "I won’t cause trouble! I’m just going to play."

Uphemia sighed helplessly and said, "No means no, be good and listen."

Though she didn’t like the God of Sand and Stone, that fool, he was a genuine Divine, and his fall would affect the hierarchy among the Gods.

In this period, it’s not suitable for a deity like the little ice and snow cat to run around.

"I won’t run around! I’m just going to find Herbert!"

"No way, if an accident really happens, he won’t be able to protect you, and I would be uneasy," Uphemia said with an extremely firm attitude regarding the safety of the children, refusing to give in.

"...Hmph!"

Hecayas understood the outcome, struggled for a while, realized resistance was futile, and finally angrily waved her paw in front of herself.

Only discontentedly curling up into a ball, covering her head with her long tail, as silent protest.

I’m not talking to you anymore! 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

And after subduing Hecayas, Uphemia’s mood was still not calm.

"..."

The Cold Winter Goddess realized that merely stopping her was not the solution, only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.

What she truly needed was to understand Herbert more clearly... in every sense.

As for how to understand him.

It would, of course, have to be by seeing with her own eyes!

Uphemia was preparing to go to Elda.

She just said it’s not suitable for going out recently—but that was said to Hecayas.

The outside is dangerous, and children shouldn’t go out casually.

But adults are different!

If adults want to go out, they just do!

As her thoughts circulated, without attracting the little ice and snow cat deity’s attention, a part of Uphemia’s consciousness had already descended onto Yunier.

"Hoo..."

Through the eyes of the Divine Favorer, Uphemia began to examine this vibrant land.

She had basically witnessed all the changes here, being an eyewitness to the development.

Her gaze swept over the busy residents, brushed past the newly constructed houses, finally pausing on a slightly lonely figure not far away.

The girl with a human body and snake’s tail, Teresa.

She was also the close friend of her Divine Favorer "Yunier", playing and frolicking together every day.

Even Uphemia herself, liked this destined-to-be-troubled girl very much, with a budding maternal affection for her.

"Teresa, you... huh?"
