Volume 7, Chapter 8 – What Does This Have to Do With Me, Tianyin?

“Master, actually I think it’d be enough to just publicize cute photos of Master. Why make things so complicated?”

While Tianyin was talking with Xingyu Muxi, Xiaomengyao raised a different opinion from Tianyin and the others.

“Even though Master is really strong and amazing, you could obviously just rely on your looks… So why use other methods?”

To be fair, what Xiaomengyao said did make sense.

But if it really were that easy, Tianyin instead felt a weird sense of discomfort.

“What do you mean by relying on my looks… I want people to worship me because of my strength!”

Even if this body was already a loli body, and her personality was infinitely close to a loli, Tianyin still had her own pride.

At Dawn, Tianyin seemed like she was the one being bullied by Xiaomengyao and the others. But in truth, Tianyin only was, and only would be, like that around these people close to her who were worth getting close to.

To the people who mattered, she could indulge them in every way and treat them gently.

But toward those who wanted to hurt her, or hurt the people by her side, Tianyin would draw the sword in her hand without hesitation and deal with those enemies.

And in the end, it was also because Tianyin already possessed the firm heart a strong person should have.

A strong person’s heart would absolutely not allow Tianyin to rely on things like appearance that looked good on the surface but were empty, to achieve her goal. As a strong person, she needed to use her powerful strength to make the world admire her!

“Because of your strength? But… if you want to become an idol, what kind of strength would Xiaoyin rely on? If you ask me, a cute appearance is also part of Xiaoyin’s strength, right?”

Xingyu Muxi said with a smile.

“Since when is a cute appearance part of strength? Even if it is the best shortcut, I still don’t want to rely on that kind of means to achieve my goal!”

Thinking of everything she’d gone through before, Tianyin shook her head and decisively rejected Xiaomengyao’s idea.

“Xiaomengyao, don’t talk about this anymore.”

“Okay…”

Sometimes Xiaomengyao made Tianyin’s head hurt, but at critical moments she was still very sensible.

Like right now. Once she sensed the seriousness in Tianyin’s tone, Xiaomengyao decisively shut her mouth.

“Sister Xiaomu, then what other methods are there?”

“There are. If you want to rely on strength, there are many methods. For example, music or dancing. Those also count as a kind of strength, right?”

Xingyu Muxi patiently explained.

Hearing Xingyu Muxi’s words, Tianyin nodded thoughtfully.

“Things like music and dance also count as Life Skills. But I haven’t mastered those skills. So right now, I can’t rely on music or dance to promote my image.”

It was really giving her a headache.

To be honest, Tianyin was pretty satisfied with the method of controlling the last sin, Lust. After all, she didn’t need to fight and kill anymore, and that also let Tianyin, who had been constantly rushing around all this time, finally have enough time to rest.

But… Only now did Tianyin suddenly realize that compared to running back and forth to fight, using her brain to think was even more painful.

“But what should I do?”

“The ability of Lust is to expand the emotions in people’s hearts without limit. And if someone feels liking the first time they see me, then the closer they get and the more they understand me, the more their feelings of liking for me will grow without limit.”

“So in a sense, I just need to be in a place where there are more people, but also a place where this whole world can personally watch my existence and my figure.”

“But no matter how I imagine it, no matter how big the stage is, what people can see has a limit. Plus my body is especially small… even if I show myself in front of a crowd, what Lust affects will only be the people who can see me clearly.”

Admittedly, taking all kinds of photo sets and then promoting them across the real world’s internet was a good method. But Tianyin always felt there was something off about that method too.

“Ahhh… so what should I do?”

The more she thought, the more her head hurt. Tianyin racked her brain for a while and still didn’t come up with any decent method.

“Xiaoyin, you don’t need to worry anymore. I already have a method~”

Just as Tianyin’s brows were tightly knit, Xingyu Muxi suddenly spoke up and pulled Tianyin back from her thoughts.

“Eh? You have a method?”

“Yeah.”

The beautiful elf girl looked confident. Not only Tianyin, even Xiaomengyao and Lucifa at the side were equally curious as they looked at Xingyu Muxi.

After all, Xingyu Muxi, as Dawn’s governor in name, would definitely come up with something that made everyone’s eyes open wide.

“However~”

The girl’s red lips parted. After only saying that word, she paused, her eyes full of laughter as she stared at Tianyin.

And meeting Xingyu Muxi’s inexplicable look, that tiny bad premonition in Tianyin’s heart appeared once again.

“Hm? However what?”

“However, when the time comes, we’ll have to wrong Xiaoyin a little~”

“Wrong me?”

Tianyin was a little confused.

Xiaomengyao and Lucifa beside her were just as confused.

“Yeah, when the time comes we’ll need to wrong Xiaoyin a little. Because in my plan, Xiaoyin, you’re the final prize~”

When she said the word prize, Xingyu Muxi deliberately dragged out the sound.

“Prize? Wait… Sister Xiaomu, you mean I’m the prize? Eh? Why am I the prize?”

That ominous feeling finally came true. Sure enough, Sister Xiaomu coming to find her on purpose really meant something bad was coming.

But things had already come to this point. There was no turning back. Tianyin also wouldn’t back out when Xingyu Muxi had only said half of it.

So even though she felt extremely bitter about the fact she was a prize, Tianyin still planned to hear Xingyu Muxi’s concrete plan before deciding what to do.

“Xiaoyin, actually. I’m planning to hold a grand competition in our Dawn in the next few days.”

“A competition? But what does a competition have to do with me being a prize?”

Hearing Xingyu Muxi’s words, Tianyin was even more confused. A competition within Dawn… you had to know, there were only NPCs in Dawn, and if NPCs held a competition between themselves, then even if she was the prize, no NPC in Dawn would dare take her…

After all, Tianyin was Dawn’s leader.

“Pfft… what are you thinking, Xiaoyin?”

Seeing Tianyin’s dazed and cute look, Xingyu Muxi couldn’t help reaching out and pinching Tianyin’s small nose.

“Of course it’s a competition for the outsiders~ And if we hold a competition in Xiaoyin’s name, then there will definitely be lots of outsiders coming to Dawn.”

“And when the time comes, won’t it be the moment for Xiaoyin to show your power?”

“Eh…”

Only then did Tianyin finally understand Xingyu Muxi’s purpose.

“But Sister Xiaomu… what does that have to do with me being the prize?”
