Chapter 145: This Girl Is Extraordinary

It was only after the Great Shaman’s explanation that Sun Licheng finally understood what had transpired.

Yesterday morning, shortly after a ball of white light had enveloped Sun Licheng, the Divine Pillar had claimed Caroline in the same manner. In a flash, both of them had vanished. While the entire tribe was in a panic, the voice of a deity echoed within the Great Shaman’s mind. The god revealed that Sun Licheng and Caroline had been transported back to the Red Flame Tribe. To reward Sun Licheng for the fine wines and delicacies he had created, His Majesty had bestowed Caroline upon him as a gift. He commanded that no one in the Red Flame Tribe was to be alarmed, regardless of what followed, as this was his divine will. Furthermore, no one was to disturb them, under penalty of divine punishment.

When the Great Shaman relayed the divine oracle, everyone present was stunned. What could possibly happen between a five-foot-tall goblin and a ten-foot-tall female ogre?

"Wow!" It was too terrifying to even imagine.

Later, aside from Barit, who remained concerned for his daughter, the rest of the tribe was consumed by intense curiosity. When it came to the carnal affairs between men and women, the hearts of all—regardless of age, gender, or status—burned with unquenchable fire, even among the ogres.

Seeing Sun Licheng and Caroline today, everyone realized that the God of Food and Pleasure had transformed them into elves. The long-standing question regarding their physical disparity had finally been resolved.

"Now that Caroline is with you, I can rest easy," Barit remarked with a sigh of relief. After a two-second pause, he added, "When I was young, I was nowhere near as capable as you."

Hearing this inexplicable comment and observing the wistful expressions of those around him, Sun Licheng felt very strange. He secretly asked the Great Shaman what was going on.

"Don't you know? As soon as we returned to the tribe yesterday, we heard tremendous noises coming from your tent. When we rushed over, we discovered you and Caroline were... you know. The racket you made was deafening; it could be heard from far away. Even for us ogres, that’s truly incomparable. The real kicker was how long it lasted—you kept at it until nearly dawn, and none of us could get a wink of sleep."

The Great Shaman pointed to his own dark circles, his face filled with genuine admiration, looking at Sun Licheng as if he were an idol. Truth be told, men rarely concede defeat in such matters, but it was clear that the consensus was one of total, absolute surrender.

Sun Licheng was speechless, suspecting that this was yet another prank by the God of Food and Pleasure.

"Great Shaman, aren't deities supposed to be dignified? Why would the God of Food and Pleasure do this to me?" Sun Licheng asked, puzzled. He could never quite grasp why this god seemed so unprofessional.

"Oh, you mean that? Actually, besides being the god of food and pleasure, His Majesty also holds domain over carnal love. Since it’s unrelated to procreation, his followers rarely mention it, and prayers regarding it are very infrequent," the Great Shaman replied after some thought.

Sun Licheng was dumbfounded; this deity was a complete rake. Recalling how the great god had posed like the Statue of David when they first met, Sun Licheng added under his breath, "A lecher!"

"His Majesty said that to ensure you enjoy yourself to the fullest, he modified your body. He originally wanted to turn you into a human, but your constitution was too unique, so he could only awaken the bloodline within you, turning you into a goblin with elven-like traits. After all, goblins and elves share common ancestral origins, so the process was simple enough. He hopes you like your new body. Also, he said there’s no need to thank him for turning a ten-foot-tall ogre into an elven beauty suited for you," the Great Shaman said, recalling the morning’s oracle.

Caroline burst into loud, wailing sobs upon hearing this: "I don't want to be an elf! I want to turn back into an ogre!"

"Insolence! Do you dare defy the will of a deity?" Barit roared.

Scolded by her father, Caroline stopped crying instantly. She looked at him through teary eyes, then at the Great Shaman, before opening her mouth to wail even louder, muttering between sobs, "I don't care, I want to be an ogre again, I want to be an ogre!"

Ignoring the chaos caused by the ogres, Sun Licheng was quite satisfied with his new form. At six-foot-three, his frame was slender yet featured well-defined, chiseled muscles. More importantly, he was handsome—elves were renowned for their beauty, and while he wasn't a "true" elf, he imagined he was at least better-looking than someone like Sheeps, the half-elf. As for the green skin, that was hardly worth mentioning; after all, he was a man, and one shouldn't fret too much over looks.

Once Barit led the still-protesting Caroline away, Sun Licheng found an opportunity to ask the Great Shaman, "Did the God of Food and Pleasure mention when I could see him again?"

"His Majesty said that as soon as you brew ten new varieties of 'Amber Light,' you may pray at the temple, and he will manifest to see you," the Great Shaman replied promptly.

Determined to see the God of Food and Pleasure again, Sun Licheng threw himself into the intensive development of new spirits. To his surprise, while Caroline remained bitter about her transformation, she clung to him relentlessly every night, and Sun Licheng found himself unable to resist the intense urges. Even more astonishingly, the now-slender Caroline retained her immense combat strength, proving to be even more formidable than when she was an ogre.

And so, the gifted Sun Licheng and the monster-like Caroline battled through the nights, leaving the Red Flame Tribe in constant turmoil. Not only were the men suffering from exhaustion, but the frequent "demonstrations" led to an uptick in similar behavior throughout the tribe, causing the ogres to burn through their energy and accelerate the consumption of food reserves, leaving Barit with a face full of worry.

After ten days of tireless work, Sun Licheng finally perfected ten new types of Amber Light. At dawn, amidst the thick mist, he stood in the temple of the God of Food and Pleasure with ten large clay jars containing his new creations before him.

As the Great Shaman chanted, a brilliance flared upon the Divine Pillar, and a majestic voice resonated in Sun Licheng’s mind: "Sun Licheng, not bad. I am very satisfied that you were able to brew these fine wines so quickly. Tell me, what do you desire? If you want beauties, I can conjure a few more for you. Rest assured, there are plenty of women in the Red Flame Tribe."

As he spoke, His Majesty began his usual erratic behavior again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but Caroline is enough for me," Sun Licheng hurriedly declined. He hesitated before asking, "Great God, if you wanted to give me an elven woman, you could have just given me one. Why did you turn an ogre into one instead?"

"What? Are you dissatisfied? Let me tell you, kid, you hit the jackpot. This girl is truly extraordinary," the deity replied with a laugh.
