Chapter 218 Sidi: You, Bai Yue, is this how you take care of Lin Ze?
Lin Ze's voice echoed in the moonlight.
His gaze remained fixed on Sidi.
It had to be said, Sidi had changed a lot in the year since they last met.
The Sidi of the past would have been the center of attention wherever she went. Her alluring aura would have captivated those around her, coupled with her already stunning beauty and slightly provocative attire.
No man in the world could resist her.
But now, that allure had vanished, even Lin Ze couldn't detect it. In its place was a faint divine radiance, subtle yet giving off an aura of untouchability.
As for her clothing, Sidi had lost her former promiscuity, even becoming somewhat conservative, but her perfect figure was still incredibly eye-catching.
Combined with her pure and alluring face, it was undeniable that Sidi was an absolute beauty.
Coupled with his current divine radiance, even Lin Ze couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Similarly, while Lin Ze was observing Sidi, Sidi was also observing the boy before her who had only been with her for a little over a decade, yet had influenced her entire life.
Lin Ze was no longer the naive boy he once was. After experiencing so much, although his appearance remained youthful, his every word and action revealed a touch of composure.
His sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose bridge, and tailored black attire exuded a mysterious and powerful aura.
"You seem to have changed a lot," Sidi said slowly, looking at Lin Ze with a smile on his lips.
Faced with Sidi's assessment, Lin Ze chuckled and said, "There's nothing I can do. That old man, His Majesty, has practically staked the entire Demon Clan's survival on my shoulders. He could handle many things himself, but he consults me on everything, big or small. He's practically ready to abdicate and hand over the Demon God Emperor's throne to me..."
Hearing Lin Ze's complaint, a genuine smile appeared on Sidi's usually cold face.
This was perhaps the first time she had shown such an expression in a year.
"It seems my previous worries were unnecessary. Since His Majesty trusts you so much..."
"That old man, ever since he married Leng Xiao to me, he's been wishing I would just fight him so he could rightfully relinquish the Demon Emperor's position and go off to enjoy himself. How could that be possible?"
Lin Ze looked at Sidi and continued, "Let's talk about you. What did you want to discuss?"
"Absorbing lust shouldn't require my help anymore, right? With your control over the laws of lust, your application of lust might even surpass mine."
To Lin Ze, lust was ultimately just food.
Sidi, however, was someone who had thoroughly studied lust, so her control over it was actually more proficient than Lin Ze's.
For example, Lin Ze couldn't sense any lust fluctuations from Sidi at all.
Clearly, Sidi could hide them.
Or rather, Sidi didn't have any lust fluctuations at all.
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Ze's question, Sidi shook his head and said, "No need. If I wanted to, I could separate it myself."
"Lust is food in your eyes, and in my hands it's just energy; it won't affect my actions."
"That's pretty bad. Does that mean you've completely lost the ability to love..."
Hearing Lin Ze's words, Sidi hesitated, neither denying nor admitting it.
However, after a brief silence, Sidi slowly said, "So you think I shouldn't give up these things to become a god, is that right..."
"Not really. After all, everyone's pursuits are different. Perhaps in your eyes, you'd be willing to give up many things to achieve godhood, even family, friendship, or even love..."
Lin Ze chuckled. "To be honest, I originally thought I was the one who would cast all emotions aside. After all, from the moment I opened my eyes, all I thought about was how to fill my stomach. I wouldn't care about emotions at all. Who would have thought that I, now, also have a 'bottom line' I'm unwilling to cross?"
The bottom line Lin Ze was referring to was actually "desire."
Apart from devouring Sidi's desire, Lin Ze hadn't devoured anyone else's.
Even though this was his last seal of desire, Lin Ze still couldn't bring himself to harm Cai'er and the others.
To be honest, Lin Ze was somewhat afraid. He feared the coldness that Leng Xiao, Cai'er, and the others would experience after losing their desire.
Clearly, Sidi understood what Lin Ze meant by the bottom line.
"I'm sorry, because of me, you've been left with some bad memories..." Sidi was silent for a while, then looked at Lin Ze and asked, "Did you ever hate me?"
Hearing Sidi's apology, Lin Ze chuckled and said, "No, perhaps it's because of you that I cherish this relationship even more..."
Hearing Lin Ze's magnanimous answer, Sidi remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"This outcome is quite good. You should go back and rest. I should go too."
With that, Sidi turned and walked into the darkness.
Sidi had already received her answer from Lin Ze's so-called magnanimous reply. She had come to see Lin Ze this time because she wanted to face her true feelings and completely sever the relationship between them. Just as Lin Ze said, in her heart, becoming a god was above all else!
Lin Ze had given her an answer, but was this really the answer she wanted...?
Watching Sidi disappear into the night, Lin Ze didn't stop her. He simply watched Sidi leave. He respected Sidi's choice and didn't want to become an obstacle on her path to godhood.
...
After leaving Lin Ze's palace, Sidi didn't return to the Demon Palace of Love, but instead went to find Bai Yue, one of her few friends.
Bai Yue, who was already asleep, sensed the movement in the room and instinctively asked, "Lin Ze, what brings you here so late at night?"
"Lin Ze?"
Bai Yue, still half-asleep, was startled awake by the cold voice. She quickly looked towards the source of the sound and saw Sidi looking at her with surprise.
"Sidi! What's wrong? Weren't you in seclusion...?"
Best friends meeting again, their eyes gleaming with envy.
Sidi wasn't stupid; Bai Yue could instinctively call out Lin Ze's name, especially so late at night.
Especially considering Bai Yue's tone, there was no hint of resistance.
Clearly, Lin Ze had visited Bai Yue at night before, and Bai Yue hadn't objected to him appearing in her bedroom so late!
Sidi found a table and sat down, looking at the cold tea, and directly heated it with her spiritual power—or rather, divine power.
