Xanthippe was silent for a long time.

"Your heart is as broad as the sea on a sunny day," she said, "which is something I cannot compare to."

God's creations actually have no moral concepts.

The gods gave Xanthippe the wisdom to adapt to circumstances, the courage to get drunk, the excellent artistic talent, and the charming and seductive manner, but they did not give her the heart to promote good and suppress evil. In essence, Xanthippe, like Pandora, came here to do immoral things.

Pandora let down the human beings who had warmly entertained her and opened the Pandora's box of disaster without hesitation; Xanthippe also wanted to separate a pair of lovers, cut off Echidna's yearning for beauty that arose from her perception of happiness, and cut off all possibilities of the devil's rebellion.

Therefore, even though Xie Ning treated her so tolerantly and kindly, Xanthippe still did not feel the slightest bit of shame for her actions and goals. There was only one unexpected change that even her creators had not expected.

Athena gave her the wisdom to be flexible in order to increase her chances of surviving the snake demon. After all, killing an ancient demon god was a hundred times more difficult than Pandora's task. But Xie Ning's words undoubtedly made Xanthippe realize one thing quickly - she still had room for choice.

"I have a choice," Xanthippe said thoughtfully, "but in reality, I have no choice, Doros. You are my benevolent master here, why do you want to put your vain dreams into my heart? My true masters are the gods in the sky and the holy mountain. How can I be so bold as to disobey their orders and turn around and leave without caring about anything? If I do that, I will surely be struck to pieces by the Thunderer and fall into an irretrievable situation."

Xie Ning made a "tsk" sound.

"Happy people use their childhood to heal their whole life, while unhappy people use their whole life to heal their childhood. Have you ever heard of this saying? Oh, no, then I would say, this saying is about... well, the original family is very important!"

Seeing Xanthippe's confused look, Xie Ning shamelessly began to make up stories for her: "Look, God created you, and God is your parent. Is there a problem?"

Xanthippe: "You may assert so."

"A person cannot choose his or her parents. Is there a problem?"

Xanthippe: "Yes, and children naturally cannot choose into whose arms they will be born."

"Did God ask for your opinion before creating you? Probably not. Since they let you be born without your permission, then this is a deformed and unhealthy family of origin. You don't have to obey what they ask you to do, right?"

After hearing the rebellious speech of the modern man, Xanthippe was horrified and her eyes widened: "Don't speak such sinful words. Your words are like an eagle born to be chased by doves and a tiger enslaved by sheep. If the gods hear them, they will surely try to destroy you!"

Her heart was pounding, not knowing whether it was because of fear or because of the shock of hearing such shocking words. Xanthippe looked around nervously, and even though she knew that Echidna had set up a thick fog here to block the eyes of the gods, she still couldn't help feeling panic.
