Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 193

"Sigh—" Xia Yan sighed softly, a hint of impatience in his eyes: "So, even if I gain divinity and the power of faith after using it, so what? I still have no obligation to help you, do I?"

"Besides, having a weak god like you around is just a burden, completely useless. So let's part ways here. I don't have time to deal with you anymore."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yan had already continued walking forward.

He said these things not because he wanted to achieve some lewd purpose by associating with the CPU god, but because he genuinely didn't care and couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Although Enmusubi is indeed quite beautiful.

Unlike Xia Yan and his ilk in One Piece, Ajin, and Harry Potter, who were almost killed upon landing, wallowing in the mud and accompanied by suffering and torment, and ultimately had their consciences eroded and became somewhat insane.

As a member of the Nurarihyon clan, Natsuhiko almost reached the pinnacle of his life the moment he landed.

So far, we have not encountered any setbacks.

Moreover, unlike his previous life where he achieved success through good looks and hard work, he was born with immense power in this life. To put it bluntly, he can have almost anything he wants.

This feeling of being able to get whatever one wants without having to work made Xia Yan's personality a bit lazy.

At the same time, it also limits the expansion of the "evil" side of his humanity.

After all, for most people, doing evil is merely a means, not an end.

There are people who do evil and commit bad deeds purely out of volition, but they are ultimately a tiny minority.

Xia Yan is the kind of person who is content with whatever comes his way, and he is quite satisfied with the life he has now, which gives him more than he needs.

After all, having been educated with positive socialist values ​​for over twenty years, they can't get too bad.

Even though it has gained some of the characteristics of a fun-loving person after becoming a monster, it is still essentially a monster belonging to the lawful camp.

As the saying goes, "Bad people come from poor and remote places."

Because there are indeed supernatural beings such as gods, monsters, onmyoji, and samurai in the world, the social system of Heian-kyo did not progress slowly along the course of history, but instead developed in a somewhat perplexing direction.

In this world, it's much easier for little monsters to survive than for the lower classes living under aristocratic rule, in the transitional period between slavery and serfdom.

This has led to a situation where humans are constantly scheming against each other, while the monsters seem to be developing a more simple and honest lifestyle.

In such a social climate, Xia Yan, who possesses moral standards that are at the very top of the era, can confidently say:

Although I steal chickens and dogs everywhere, cheat people out of food and drink, and like to harass respectable women and help those poor, homeless, and wayward girls, I am a good monster!

Therefore, Xia Yan is not in the PPT version of "Yuan Jie Shen".

After all, while it's hard to find someone with a face like the goddess of marriage who scores 90 or higher, there are plenty of people who score 80 or higher, and they're good in bed and not clingy.

More importantly, there's no need to take any responsibility, and you can occasionally get things for free, which perfectly suits Nurarihyon's nature.

Xia Yan had only taken two steps when he stopped again.

"Wait...wait a minute! Please take me with you, Lord Natsuhiko! I'm still very useful! Please..."

Yuanjie Shen jogged a couple of steps and stood right in front of Xia Yan, blocking his way.

With her upper body slightly leaning forward and her light blue eyes pleading, she looked like some small animal, her head tilted slightly to the left, striking a magical angle that supposedly increases cuteness by eight degrees to the left.

Looking at Xia Yan with a pitiful expression from a harmless, bottom-up perspective, she took acting cute and charming to the extreme.

Most DNF players would find it hard to resist.

Fortunately, Xia Yan doesn't play DNF.

Furthermore, the shrine maiden outfit worn by Enmusubi was too covering up, making her original attempt to pander to otaku seem insincere.

"for example?"

Xia Yan's tone remained completely calm, and he even seemed to want to laugh a little.

Forget about breasts, you didn't even show your armpits, and you still have the nerve to act cute?

"Hey... for example... for example... I can connect lovers who truly love each other with a red thread... so they can be together forever... hehehe..."

At this point, Yuanjie Shen gave an awkward laugh, his voice growing softer and softer, looking quite unsure of himself.

Although her name is "Kami of Marriage," it's actually a bit of an exaggeration.

Because the ability she possesses is not "Fate".

It's like someone who can simply help people find lost coins in the cracks and corners, yet shamelessly calls themselves the God of Wealth.

This ability is indeed related to wealth, and it does indeed bring people money, but to this extent, it is absolutely unworthy of calling oneself the God of Wealth.

In island nations, the concept of "karma" is quite broad.

All positive interactions and encounters that build good relationships are considered auspicious connections, including those based on affection, kinship, romantic love, and hierarchical relationships.

The "缘" in "缘结" does not refer to marriage, but rather to relationships.

However, the god of marriage before us is merely a deity born from human "marriage," and has no other abilities besides marriage.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!

Moreover, she is not a god like the Old Man of the Moon or Cupid, who can arbitrarily assign love.

All she could do was connect two people in love with a red thread, deepen their bond, and make them love each other even more.

They are gods who belong to the category of free love.

However, so-called free love often cannot withstand the realities of daily life.

Those who can truly be together will still succeed even without her in the end; those who cannot succeed will still go their separate ways for various reasons, even if they are briefly united because of her red thread.

It can be said to be a rather useless ability.

Of course, if she were willing to expend her divine power, she could indeed forcibly establish marriages between people through the red thread.

However, this forced relationship is not only unsatisfactory, but also carries the risk of her personal downfall.

This can be described as a purely risky and unprofitable activity, a thankless task.

Chapter 289 Passing Through Your World

"Ha ha……"

Looking at the girl standing in front of him, who was lost in thought over a simple question and looked miserable, Xia Yan chuckled, casually patted her shoulder, and pushed her aside, no longer blocking his way.

"Wait, wait a minute, Lord Xia Yan! I know I'm a weak and useless god! Please don't ignore me! If you abandon me here, I'll starve to death!" the Goddess of Fate pleaded pitifully.

This is a lie.

However, it is not entirely a lie.

After all, given Yuanjieshen's current state, if Xia Yan were to leave her here unattended, it would be highly unlikely that she could fill her stomach with her current abilities.

Unlike the gods who live in Takamagahara, the Goddess of Bonds, who was born from human karma, is a god who was created later in life. Furthermore, due to her disagreement with some theories of Takamagahara, she destroyed her own divine status.

For deities, divinity is essentially as important as the human heart.

Normally, if a god loses his or her divine status, he or she will die.

However, unlike those naturally occurring gods, the Goddess of Marriage was born from humanity's yearning and belief in "marriage," and she will not die until the belief in her disappears.

But this also meant that her divine power, life, and even her body were entirely dependent on the power of faith.

Once she loses her faith, she may even disappear completely.

Clearly, with social development and the progress of the times, in this materialistic world, the number of pure love lovers has dropped sharply, while the number of trolls has skyrocketed.

In addition, island nations are generally very open-minded, and in this era, even the marriage system was based on the walking marriage system.

Therefore, the number of believers of Enmusubi, the god who represents free love, has naturally plummeted.

It has reached an all-time low.

This has resulted in her now being almost indistinguishable from an ordinary girl, basically only able to maintain her physical form, and unable to squeeze out divine power to do anything more.

For a simple-minded young girl, finding food in such a desolate place is indeed quite difficult.

Therefore, although relying on the power of faith will prevent them from starving to death, their lives will certainly not be easy.

Most likely, she would be like when Xia Yan met her before, lying on the ground, starving, waiting for a kind passerby to feed her, or finding some wild fruit to fill her stomach.

but……

"What does this have to do with me?" Xia Yan tilted his head and glanced at Yuan Jie Shen from below. "Anyway, you won't starve to death, you'll just feel uncomfortable for a couple of days at most, why should I help you?"

"You must learn to let go of your urge to help others and respect their fate, Xiaoyuan."

Although Xia Yan is not evil, he cannot be considered kind either.

At best, it can be considered neutral and lawful.

It's important to understand that in Yan Country during this era of information explosion, an environment of mutual love and affection no longer exists, and the social atmosphere inherently discourages people from helping each other.

The public security, procuratorial, and judicial organs even issued public statements, clearly stating that if you did not cause harm, you should not interfere.

Xia Yan naturally expressed his strong support for this national policy.

As the saying goes, put aside personal ethics, enjoy a life of immorality, refuse mental exhaustion, and go crazy when things get tough. Rather than making things difficult for yourself, make things difficult for others!

Xia Yan was the kind of person who could watch an old lady lie on the ground for half an hour without being moved at all.

Using this visual therapy method, they managed to cure an elderly person who was on the verge of death, which can be described as a great act of merit.

For some reason, after the old woman got up, instead of thanking her savior, she grumbled and walked away, patting her butt.

Maybe bad people just get old.

I used to bring Enmusubi to eat out of her house because she was cute, and I would just give her a little food.

It's like seeing a beautiful stray cat begging for food on the street. You might buy a couple of sausages to feed it, but you wouldn't think of taking it home to raise.

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Yuan Jie Shen blinked in disbelief.

She couldn't understand why Xia Yan's mouth, which was at a 37-degree angle, could utter such chilling words.

Am I not cute anymore?!

Seeing Xia Yan turn to leave, Yuanjie Shen understood that the other party truly had no intention of taking her with him.

If you want something, you have to be prepared to pay a price.

Thinking of this, Yuanjie Shen bit her lip and chased after Xia Yan in the direction he was, rushing towards him!

She has made her choice!
