BXBX NOVEL Chapter 27: the Single Women's League
"You\'re done for!"
"It doesn\'t matter which elder is protecting you. Lady Goddess Sylvia enforces the law strictly, and she won\'t overlook any bias."
"As soon as I report this matter to Lady Goddess Sylvia, it won\'t just be you in trouble. Even the elder protecting you won\'t be able to escape!"
"Right, how did I not think of that before!" a disciple suddenly exclaimed, energized.
They indeed couldn\'t defeat Timothy, and they didn\'t know who was secretly protecting him.
But Lady Goddess Sylvia enforces the law strictly, and not even the highest elders are exempt from her judgment.
If this matter is reported to Lady Goddess Sylvia, she will surely take action!
"Felix, you\'re so smart!"
"Kid, you\'re dead meat!"
Amidst the roaring cheers, Felix pointed at Timothy with a smug look, stepping back from the platform, "Just wait, I\'m going to report this to Goddess Sylvia right now. You and your backers are finished!"
Timothy just looked at him as if he were looking at a fool, "Then please, Brother Felix, make it quick."
"Hmph, still so cocky at the brink of death. Just wait for your doom!" Felix, completely infuriated, left with those harsh words.
Though no one dared to challenge Timothy on the platform anymore, the whispers and jeers continued.
"Now, not only him, but even the elder protecting him is going to suffer."
"Serves them right. Did they really think they could strut around Sky Sanctuary just because they had connections?"
"Sky Sanctuary honors Goddess Sylvia above all. Unless he can win over the supreme goddess herself, his downfall is just a matter of time!"
"Goddess Sylvia is such a lofty being. Even the highest elders don\'t dare speak out of turn in her presence, let alone him..."
A few minutes later, Felix returned from afar, not hiding his triumphant expression as he mocked Timothy, "Timothy, Goddess Sylvia has summoned you. I hope you behave yourself. You wouldn\'t want to be expelled from Sky Sanctuary along with your protector when you return."
Timothy just smiled, "Where does Goddess Sylvia want to meet me?"
"Yes, she wants you to go... to her private chambers." Felix said, a bit puzzled himself.
Goddess Sylvia rarely summons anyone, and when she does, it\'s usually in the main hall. Why would she call Timothy to her private chambers?
Just the thought made him itch with jealousy.
But then he thought, if Timothy really went, given the goddess\'s authority, it might not just be expulsion from Sky Sanctuary at stake, but perhaps even his life. That thought somewhat balanced his feelings.
"Thanks, brother," Timothy said, genuinely grateful, his heart full of emotion.
What a good person!
Indeed, there is true kindness in the world.
With so many people in Sky Sanctuary, he hardly had any chance to meet with Goddess Sylvia.
And here his brother had gone out of his way to create this opportunity for him.
Truly, a great person!
"Huh?" Felix was instantly stunned.
This wasn\'t the reaction he had expected!
Seeing that he was summoned by the supreme goddess, shouldn\'t this kid be terrified, begging on his knees?
Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Timothy turned and left.
Felix immediately snapped back, his face tense, "Don\'t think for a second that I\'ll let you off just because you\'re acting cool. We\'ll just wait here and see how Goddess Sylvia kicks you out of Sky Sanctuary!"
Timothy just smiled and waved his hand, not saying a word.
Kicked out of Sky Sanctuary?
Even if they expelled every disciple from Sky Sanctuary, it certainly wouldn\'t be his turn.
Amazed that someone had actually gone out of their way to create such an opportunity for him, Timothy arrived at the private chambers in high spirits.
However, inside the chambers, there seemed to be someone else present.
Whispers floated through the air, and Timothy focused his gaze.
A beautiful woman, exuding a mature charm, stood excitedly in front of Sylvia, holding a book as if it were a precious treasure.
This woman was none other than Thalia, the leader of Themyscira!
"Lady Goddess Sylvia, I have admired you for over a hundred years!"
"A hundred years ago, I almost got trapped by emotions and married a man."
"It was your \'Uselessness of Spiritual Partners\' that made me realize that love is the root of all evil in this world."
"Only by staying clear of emotional entanglements and all men can one truly attain enlightenment and become as powerful as you."
As she spoke, Thalia\'s hands trembled slightly.
Excitedly, she caressed the cover of the book in her hands, "This copy of \'Uselessness of Spiritual Partners\' is the original edition you wrote and published."
"I went through so much effort to get this book back then, and it\'s because of this book that I have reached where I am today."
"Now, I have become the leader of Themyscira, and countless female disciples under our influence have sworn off marriage and relationships, freeing themselves from the shackles of emotions, all thanks to your book."
"All of this, it\'s all thanks to you, Goddess!"
As she spoke, Thalia couldn\'t help but shed tears, her emotions genuine and her gratitude boundless.
Sylvia, somewhat embarrassed, helped Thalia up as her legs weakened from excitement, and coughed lightly, "Ahem, it\'s really nothing. \'Uselessness of Spiritual Partners\' was just a spur-of-the-moment folly I wrote in my youth. You really shouldn\'t take it so seriously."
"How can it be folly!" Thalia suddenly stood up straight, her eyes blazing with conviction, "Lady Goddess Sylvia, I actually came here today for another reason."
"What is it?" Sylvia seemed increasingly uncomfortable.
Thalia excitedly continued, "After decades of effort, I have finally succeeded in establishing the Single Women\'s League centered around Themyscira, using your \'Uselessness of Spiritual Partners\' as our charter."
"Now, I would like to ask Goddess Sylvia to become the head of our league."
"To proclaim to all women that men are the root of all evil in this world and should not be easily approached!"
"Your idea is indeed noble, but let\'s not..." Sylvia, holding her forehead, felt a mix of regret and helplessness.
Why did she ever write something like \'Uselessness of Spiritual Partners\' in her younger days?
