Chapter 289 – Divine Garden
"Excuse me, Mr. Lapin, can you hear me?" Lilian's voice—so eerily similar to the Goddess's—echoed through the cloud once more.
"Yes, Goddess! What do you need?" Lapin replied instinctively, his tone respectful and eager. The moment the words left his mouth, he froze, realizing his mistake. His wry smile deepened, and he shook his head in mild exasperation.
He couldn't help but marvel at the Goddess's cleverness. She must have known that her voice, imbued with the authority of a Divinity, would leave a lasting impression on him. By giving Lilian the same voice, she had ensured that he would always be alert and attentive in his role as Lilian's protector.
What a playful goddess, he mused, though a part of him wondered if she had considered all the implications.

And she also knew the celestial cloud she was on belonged to him, created by his bloodline ability.
"Ahem… Human Lilian," Lapin corrected himself, his tone shifting to something more formal. "What do you need from me?"
"Where are you bringing me? To your place?" Lilian ignored how he changed the way he called her again. She was more curious about where she was going.
"Kekeke! I'm bringing you to your sister, Human Anda!" Lapin replied, his cheerful demeanor returning.
"Really? So you've met her?" Lilian's eyes lit up at the mention of Anda. Lilian then recalled that Lapin had said something about her sister in the scene recordings. So he was talking about Anda.
"I did," Lapin confirmed. "I met her a week ago with another human named Tamina. Human Anda asked me to
