After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 40

“Have you heard of Godzilla? It’s super impressive!”

“What, what are you talking about?”

Wu Chen was momentarily confused.

“Godzilla! The super cool monster. Since you grew up in that other world, you don’t even know about Godzilla?”

Xia Yueyun looked at him skeptically.

“Uh… I certainly know what Godzilla is. But I suspect you might be misunderstanding something.”

“You don’t actually believe that Godzilla really exists on Earth, do you?”

Wu Chen’s expression became subtle as he considered whether to tell Xia Yueyun that Godzilla is fake, just a special effect, and doesn’t really exist!

“Of course it exists! There are video recordings as proof; can videos be fake?”

That’s called a movie!

Wu Chen mentally complained.

“By the way, over there, you also have Iron Man, the Hulk, Superman, Batman, Ultraman, Sun Wukong, Pangu, the Emperor of Heaven, the Old Ones, the Trisolarans, and so on… a gathering of experts. If the Mother Goddess invades Earth, isn’t that like walking into a trap?”

“No way! If there’s a chance, you must take me along to persuade the Mother Goddess!”

Seeing Xia Yueyun seriously discussing Earth’s military power with fictional stories, Wu Chen found it somewhat absurd and amusing.

“Don’t worry. The Mother Goddess just sent me to scout the place. Right now, she’s gravely ill and must use all her strength to face this world—how could she have any energy left to focus on another world?”

“As for what to do about that other world in the future, we’ll have to wait until the new Evil God takes the throne. It will depend on what the new god decides.”

Wu Chen reassured her.

“That’s a relief… Ah, if only I could go live on Earth, how wonderful it would be.”

Xia Yueyun’s face showed a longing expression, clearly envious.

“You seem to really like Earth?”

Wu Chen felt a bit strange.

Xia Yueyun’s tone made it seem like Earth was some kind of utopian other world?

“Of course I like it! From what the apostles from back then described, it’s a peaceful and prosperous place where everyone lives in harmony, without worrying about war and survival, with countless entertainment and games to enjoy. It’s like heaven!”

Are you sure you’re talking about Earth? I feel like you’ve put a beauty filter on it.

“I’m already tired of all this boring fighting and killing. Even if we invaded all human territories, what would it benefit me?”

“I still can’t access the so-called internet, can’t play the latest games, and can’t watch the latest shows and documentaries. The demons and humans in this world are so uninteresting!”

“Especially the demons, who are always thinking about how to eat, drink, and get stronger. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, it’s so dull!”

“I’ve tried making other demon subordinates play games with me, but they clearly have no interest in games at all. They only hide their resistance and aversion because of my orders!”

After Wu Chen released her, Xia Yueyun began rolling around on the bed.

Humans on Earth want to play the game “Isekai Love Melody,” and people in this world want to play “Earth Online.” It seems that what people can’t have is always the most desirable; the moon that doesn’t belong to you is the fullest.

I’ve seen people who idealize all kinds of countries, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone idealizing Earth to this extent. Could it be that you’re a “spiritual Earthling”?

“Don’t idealize that world too much.”

“Peace is a precious thing no matter which world it is in.”

“I wasn’t sent to a peaceful world by the Mother Goddess. I was just sent to a peaceful country.”

Wu Chen sighed.

“If this world were free from demon invasions, allowing humans to rest, I think this world would also give birth to many interesting forms of entertainment.”

“…”

Xia Yueyun turned her head away without saying more, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Wu Chen felt a strong sense of dissonance from this situation.

Previously, players rarely had the chance to interact with witches, so there was little understanding of them.

Now it was clear that witches didn’t align with the typical worldview of ordinary demons and seemed to hold very human-like perspectives.

It almost felt like with a little persuasion, he could make them betray the revolution and become traitors.

Why would the Evil God make witches so similar to humans?

“What’s the point of talking so much?”

Xia Yueyun stood up from the bed, stretching her alluring figure in a lazy and seductive manner.

“Invasion of this world was the Mother Goddess’s plan. I’m just following orders. If I were to become the new God, I’d never do something so boring.”

Ah, too bad I don’t have any real claim to the Mother Goddess’ inheritence. Otherwise, making this “spiritual Earthling” the new Evil God wouldn’t be a bad idea.

“After talking so much, my mouth is a bit dry. How about a cup of otaku happiness water?”

Xia Yueyun got off the bed and, seemingly out of nowhere, produced two bottles of Coca-Cola.

“Sure enough, the red bottle tastes better. The blue one just doesn’t hit the spot.”

How much did Coca-Cola pay you? I, Pepsi, will pay ten times that!

She opened a bottle herself and gulped it down with satisfying swigs.

It’s truly amazing to be able to drink otaku happiness water in another world.

While playing the game, one could use the game’s pod’s scanning device to digitize some real-world items for use in the game by spending money. Now, it seemed this scanning function might not be as simple as he initially thought.

Wu Chen took a sip from the bottle in his hand. The familiar taste stirred up a deep sense of nostalgia, even making him feel a bit homesick.

Traveling to another world, I wonder how my parents are doing. I’m not an orphan.

It’s been so many days without going to work; I’m probably already fired by my boss by now, huh… Sigh…

After Xia Yunyun finished her own bottle of fizzy happiness, she noticed Wu Chen taking a sip, and a fleeting, wicked smile appeared on her lips.

“Wu Chen, how do you find the taste of this drink?”

“It’s a familiar taste, quite good.”

Wu Chen took another sip, savoring it.

The cool, sweet, and slightly cloying flavor, the fizz tickling his mouth—it was still the familiar feeling, still the familiar taste!

Wu Chen even thought about writing a book about this experience, with the title “Drinking Cola in Another World”!

Xia Yueyun blinked and asked with anticipation:

“Do you now feel any heat in your body, a dry mouth, or a desire to do something with me?”
