"Who are you, mortal?" the beast god stared at Bexia and asked.
"You're the beast god here, right?" Bexia asked, able to guess the other's identity roughly, as there were only two gods in this forest, one beast god and one forest goddess, and the latter was obviously female, so the one in front of her should be the beast god.
But Bexia couldn't be certain that the forest goddess wouldn't look more like a man, and also have an exhibitionist streak!
"Now that you know I'm the beast god, why don't you kneel, mortal?" the beast god questioned Bexia with an authoritative tone. It might scare an ordinary person, but for Bexia, it was as refreshing as a gentle breeze.
"I don't believe in gods!" Bexia teased with a smirk. "And you're not even a god, at most just a person with some special powers!"
"And you're quite ridiculous, clearly you're just a human being, but you act as if you're not human. What are you?"
"How dare you insult me!" The beast god's face turned sour, and his three-eyed white wolf beside him suddenly pounced.
*Smack!*
Bexia casually slapped the giant wolf's face, knocking it over and transforming it into a dead dog with a flip of her tongue!
"Did you kill my golden lion?" The beast god's expression turned icy, recalling that he came to check on things because he had lost contact with his golden lion. Now he immediately connected the dots to Bexia.
"I didn't kill that big cat, I just freed it from its constraints, then knocked it out!" Bexia shrugged, and the three-eyed white wolf that had been slapped to the ground by him, got up unsteadily and shook its head vigorously.
"Look! The big dog is awake!" Bexia gave a smile, but to the beast god, it seemed more like a smirk of death. And the three-eyed white wolf's eyes suddenly flashed a sinister red.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The three-eyed white wolf appeared next to the beast god at a speed that was previously impossible, then bit him whole, with the fresh blood staining its fur around the mouth red. After a few bites, the beast god was completely devoured by the three-eyed white wolf.
"So this is the strength of a boastful god!" Bexia spoke, disappearing in an instant from the spot. The white wolf immediately snapped back, realizing what it had just done, and could only crouch shivering on the ground, whimpering like a beaten stray dog.
"What were you up to?" Teresa wiped the oil off her mouth, watching Bexia as she approached.
"I got you some water to drink!" Bexia produced a large tree leaf filled with clear water.
"Oh! Thank you!" Teresa was thirsty and took a sip.
"Aren't you afraid I poisoned it?" Bexia chuckled.
"Poison? Why would you poison me?" Teresa looked a bit naive.
"Hey! We're alone in the woods. What do you think I'd do if I poisoned you?"
"Pft...! I'm not afraid!" Teresa blushed, clearly understanding Bexia's joke.
"Not afraid? Are you sure you won't be afraid when I poison you later? You won't be able to move a muscle and I'll have complete control over you!"
"Go on then, poison me!" Teresa left the unfinished water in front of Bexia, as if challenging her.
Bexia, not backing down, touched the water in the leaf and said, "You drink some and let's see!"
*Splash!*
The leaf fell to the ground, and Teresa felt her body go limp, falling to the ground with a sense of powerlessness all over. Especially after the wicked remark Bexia made just now, she became instantly scared.
"Are you scared now?" Bexia squatted next to Teresa, poking her cheek. She didn't poison her, but simply used her powers to immobilize her body.
"Don't joke around. Give me the antidote!" Teresa thought she had been poisoned, feeling uneasy.
"Joking? Do you think I'm joking?" Bexia's finger slid down her face, tracing her delicate neck, then stopped at Teresa's collarbone.
"Hey! Stop it!" Teresa's expression turned to anger.
"What do you think will happen if I undo your belt?" Bexia smirked, a devilish smile in Teresa's eyes.
As she saw Bexia reaching for her belt, Teresa's gaze turned to pleading, but just as she was about to cry, Bexia quickly plucked a dried stalk from her belt, and her body instantly recovered.
"Why that face? I just removed a weed!" Bexia tossed away the dried grass, clapped her hands and stood up, leaving Teresa in a daze. Without a word, Teresa got up and kicked at her, only to be thrown to the ground by Bexia, the difference in strength was clearly not just one level or two!
"You're too much, picking on a girl like me, aren't you?"
