Seven Sins System Chapter 416. Don't Push Your Goddess Logic On Me!
I draped in the casual arrogance and leaned against the bed headboard, a smirk playing on my lips.
"I'm a devil, sweetheart. I'm used to seeing naked bodies. This kind of thing won't even give me a boner," I said, my voice dripping with condescension.
I stared at Puriel.
"Unlike a virgin like you who always blushes when she sees a naked boy," I added with a hiss.
Puriel's eyes flashed. She glanced at me. "I wouldn't be proud if I were you. Being touched and touching a lot of women is not a matter of pride," she sneered back.
A chuckle rumbled in my chest.
"It's a matter of pride for the devils since it means we have a lot of experience," I retorted.
Puriel snorted.
"Disgusting," she hissed back. "A body is the same as an altar. You have to keep the purity and the cleanliness so it will bring in a lot of worshipers," she lectured.
I grimaced. "Then I prefer my altar full of offerings. A clean altar means no one comes and worships me. That sounds pathetic," I shot back.
A long exhale left her lips as she turned to me.
"Don't push your goddess logic on me," I retorted sharply. "It won't work. We live in two opposite realms, remember?"
Puriel's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I shouldn't say that to you," she murmured, more to herself than to me, as her gaze drifted back to the unconscious girls.
That sight only deepened my frown.
Lately, it had become a pattern—this pushing of her divine logic onto me. Trying to make me understand the dos and don'ts of her realm, drawing lines I had never bothered to see, let alone respect. It felt like she was trying to mold me with her thoughts.
Yet, despite our clashes, there was an undeniable truth in her insights. She opened windows to perspectives I hadn't considered.
In her world, a body was sacred, not just another landscape to conquer. While the mortals viewed nudity through a lens of vulnerability and sanctity, not just physicality.
My guise as a combat doctor gave me a pass in their eyes. "I'm used to it; it's just part of the job," I'd say, and they'd nod, accepting the explanation without further question.
'Is she seriously trying to change me into her idea of the perfect boyfriend or something?'
The idea was absurd, revolting even, but it lingered.
I studied Puriel. Her gaze was fixed on the mortal girls.
The thought of her attempting to mold me into something more palatable, more divine, nagged at me.
If our fates were indeed intertwined, if there was a joke that meant we were meant for each other, would I not do the same? Yet, the notion felt like a betrayal of everything I was—a devil, not meant for change.
My gaze sharpened, my eyes flicking back to her.
'But if she has truly fallen for me, why would she want to change me?' I wondered silently.
It was a foolish thought, born perhaps out of a hidden desire for acceptance, raw and unfiltered. Yet, despite its folly, it clung to me.
Puriel sensed my gaze.
Yet, this time, she offered no response, no softening of her features, nor a reproachful look that I had grown accustomed to.
A silent scoff escaped me, more a release of frustration than actual amusement.
'Now she acts cold to me. What an annoying woman,' I mused bitterly. Her indifference stung more than I wanted to admit.
'Why should I care?' I muttered internally to myself.
Yet, as much as I tried to dismiss my concern, my thoughts refused to obey.
I tried to divert my attention but my gaze drifted back to her.
What if there was a middle ground where a devil and a goddess could coexist?
What if her changes were not about erasing who I was, but about understanding each other better?
