Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 470 - 215: The Joyful Green Skins’ Sacred Treasures

After hearing Lin Rui’s explanation, Lei unhappily hammered the table with her right hand.

"So you’re just going to invite Wutong to a feast, and that’s it? How did I end up helping you, a heartless dog of a man, with these Krypton Gold Dog Eyes? At least show a serious attitude!"

Lin Rui shrugged, "I’m sincerely thinking about how to win Wutong’s heart. But I have no clue how to do it."

Yuyu pursed her lips in front of the golden mirror, wiped off her lipstick, preparing to enjoy a light lunch after the big battle, before leaving space for a feast in the evening. Not eating for three days and two nights is tough, even for a lady.

She scrutinized her hair ornaments in the mirror, nodding in agreement with Lin Rui’s words, and said, "Exactly. You are a man who doesn’t understand romance, completely clueless about women’s hearts."

Wasn’t it just that I didn’t hand you the hairpin on our first meeting, and that I was a bit rushed the first time?

And you’re still holding onto it now?

Lin Rui retorted, "I’m not a woman, how would I understand what you’re thinking? Come on, tell me, how do I get Wutong to stay?"

Audrey proactively offered a gift box, "Lord, I think you could give her a gift. There’s actually something suitable here."

"Stop joking!" Lin Rui refused decisively, "What’s my relationship with her? Giving a gift out of the blue, how awkward."

"Tch~" Yuyu displayed an expression of disappointment, "Is the gift really the key? The key is to make the Empress stay! On what grounds would the Empress stay?"

"On what grounds?" What man knows this? Do you know? Anyway, I don’t! A girl’s thoughts are the hardest to guess.

"Sigh." Yuyu helplessly put away the mirror and said, "Let me, a priest expert in human emotions and psychology, enlighten you. Do you know what the quickest shortcut to win over a young lady is?"

Lin Rui looked at her with a strange expression, "You’re not going to say making her angry, right? Something like provoking her?"

Yuyu covered her face, "Oh my god, where did this outdated heretical nonsense come from? Aren’t you afraid she’ll literally kill you if you provoke her?"

"Then just say it directly."

"The key is to have a connection! A connection! Whether you’re helping her or seeking her help, the most crucial thing is to create a connection. Causing trouble for a girl, asking for her help, is not usually a bad thing. Why did Wutong stay in the territory before?"

"Why?" Lin Rui felt completely baffled.

"Because she needed to help you solve the ’Devil’s Golden Balance’, right!"

"Why weren’t you worried she would leave before, but now you’re anxious about her potential departure? Stop looking at me with those innocent big eyes asking why! Because she’s already solved the problem for you. You two have no ties now; even if she wanted to stay, what would be her reason?"

Lin Rui’s eyes lit up, "Are you saying she actually wants to stay?"

All four women present felt weak at the same time.

Lei slapped the table and shouted, "How dare you think that? On what grounds would Wutong want to stay? What’s the key here? The key is that there’s no longer any connection between you two!"

Yuyu lazily leaned on the tabletop, weakly saying, "I feel like a naïve girl helping my male deity woo other women."

There do seem to be a lot of women like that, don’t they?

Lin Rui poked her soft, white arm and said, "Don’t give up, keep telling me what I should do."

Audrey slid the gift box back over and said, "Lord, don’t you get it yet? Why haven’t you and Wutong formed any emotional connection?"

"Because there’s no connection?" Lin Rui asked hesitantly.

"You finally got it. Think about it, if Wutong didn’t reach out to you, when have you ever actively sought her out? There’s no interaction between you two; how would any feelings magically appear?"

Yuyu also listlessly rested her head on her pale arm, muttering, "My dear Perfect Knight. Gratefulness cannot be measured by a standard scale. Today you owe her something, tomorrow you repay a kindness. Owing and repaying, back and forth, and it becomes entangled. Isn’t that how true feelings develop? Whether it’s gratitude, affection, or friendship, in the end, you just want to take off Wutong’s clothes and turn it into a relationship!"

Relationship!

Lin Rui’s heart started pounding wildly.

Meanwhile, Yuyu lowered her head, glanced at his mage robe, and directly cursed, "Scumbag, you’re not even hiding it. Right in front of us three women, you’re thinking about getting into a relationship with another woman!"

Lin Rui quickly coughed lightly, bent down to take the gift box from Audrey, and asked, "So I should go and give this to Wutong as a thank you for her assistance?"

Lin Rui opened the gift box to check its attributes.

[Goblins’ Mimicry Toy · Sacred Treasure]

[Goblins are the smallest members of the Green Skins society, with brains the size of peas (and the same IQ), like a bunch of eternally energetic, fervent yet uncontrollable little pets, residing in Green Skins’ settlements. They clean up trash and feces while stealing any small trinkets. They are the ’janitors’ of their community, surviving on food scraps and bones and always gleefully hiding the "treasures" they collect in holes. Beastmen have a particular fondness for these little creatures, treating them like mischievous pets. Some beastmen even attempt to capture goblins to make them perform or train them to complete certain tasks. The smartest goblins can even act as servant-like figures, such as scratching the unreachable itch for a beastman. However, they are never tasked with anything truly meaningful.]
