I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 745 - 33: Power of Destruction (4,000 Words)

"Mother dear, look at the time, you’ve forgotten to eat lunch again! How many times have I told you that you must eat three meals a day on time! Why do you always like to skip meals?"

In the study, a young girl also dressed in a maid’s outfit was holding a simple wooden tray, with a simple sandwich and a bowl of hot soup on it. The person in front of her, completely absorbed in a huge star map book, was Deng.

"Oh, Fanny, don’t bother me, I’m at a critical point!"

Deng didn’t even raise her head. Her silver-gray hair hung down, covering half her face. Her fingers moved quickly across the complex star map, leaving trails of light behind.

"No way! Have you forgotten the last time you had a stomach ache?"

Surprisingly, the girl named Fanny didn’t back down at all, directly placing the tray on the star map in front of Deng, blocking her view.

"Eat first. You can read after eating. The book isn’t going anywhere."

"Tsk... alright, alright."

Deng pursed her lips, reluctantly put down her hands, picked up the sandwich, and muttered quietly, "I, a magnificent Stargazer, still need to be told to eat and sleep. I really don’t know who’s the mother here, me or you."

"No matter how impressive you are, you still have to eat!"

Fanny stood there with her hands on her hips, a look that said "there’s no negotiating this."

"Chew carefully, don’t choke."

She even stood by, watching over Deng as she finished her meal.

Although Deng kept complaining, saying things like "don’t boss me around" and "I’m not a child," Yun You observed that miraculously, whenever Fanny spoke, Deng would ultimately set aside whatever she was doing... no matter how important the research, and obediently take the healthy food Fanny prepared, finishing it without fuss.

The laziness Deng displayed in front of Yun You and other divine servants seemed to be "suppressed" by an invisible force in front of Fanny, leaving only a childlike helplessness and reliance. However, among all these unique beings, one person left the most profound and warm impression on Yun You—Fanny.

Fanny appeared to be around twenty, wearing an outfit similar to the other maids, but in a softer, more comfortable texture of deep blue, with a plain apron washed to a faded white atop it.

She had no powerful energy fluctuations, no long-lasting life aura, and even her footsteps were slightly heavy with a hint of mortal fatigue.

In fact, she was a completely ordinary person, without a hint of power.

But here, no one dared to disrespect her, not even the gods who had to obediently listen to her.

Because her identity was unique: she was Deng’s personal caretaker.

Fanny wasn’t a deity, nor was she a malevolent spirit, nor a new human from the Death Domain.

Yun You later learned from the Master of All Changes that this girl was saved by Deng from a reality refuge about to be completely consumed by the Death Domain, a very long time ago when Feng was just establishing the grand library and her power was still unstable.

At that time, Fanny was still a frail little girl, too weak in constitution to endure much transformation, yet she inherently possessed an almost instinctual talent for caregiving, coupled with a heart of gold that was both resilient and kind.

So, after some thought, Deng simply decided to keep her to manage her daily life.

And this management lasted through long years.

Fanny lacked power, so her duties were quite tedious... like ensuring Deng ate on time instead of losing herself in research; like supervising Deng not to stay up all night, even though Deng claimed she didn’t need sleep at all; like organizing the research manuscripts Deng casually tossed aside, reminding Deng to put on more clothes as the weather turned cooler, even if the library’s temperature was constant.

Yun You more than once saw that when Deng, frustrated by a bottleneck in some deduction, would throw her books around, it would be Fanny who calmly came over, tidying up the scattered pages, then gently smoothing down Deng’s tail, murmuring something that soon calmed the anxious aura around Deng.

When Deng triumphantly boasted to Yun You about a new discovery, Fanny would also stand to the side, showing a warm and content smile, as if watching her own child achieve good grades, making it truly hard to tell who the mother was and who the daughter...

It was also because of Fanny’s presence that this grand library constructed of cold knowledge and powerful deities was infused with a touch of earthly warmth.

At the same time, Fanny’s presence also played a crucial role in Yun You’s cultivation.

As for the reason... it was actually quite simple, and it lay with Deng.

This "Mother of Legends," in planning Yun You’s cultivation plan, showed a jaw-droppingly straightforward approach.

There was no complex theoretical indoctrination, no mystic guidance in meditation.

The cultivation began after a certain "afternoon tea."

Deng casually pulled a seemingly unremarkable book with a plain parchment cover from the bookshelf beside her.

She didn’t even open it to glance inside, merely tapping its cover lightly with her fingertip.

"Here, little Yun You, take this, go on an adventure."

The moment those words fell, an overwhelming force instantly enveloped Yun You, space shattered and reorganized, and the scene before her eyes became blurry.

When Yun You opened her eyes again, feet grounded, she found herself no longer in that serene library, but standing on unfamiliar terrain.

Above her was a real sky with blue skies and white clouds, beneath her were soft soils, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and wildflowers.

In the distance, smoke curled upward from chimneys, faint sounds of children’s laughter and livestock echoed, a peaceful village lay nestled at the foot of a mountain, men farming and women weaving, the sound of chickens and dogs interspersed.
