With the help of moonlight, the three of them quickly returned to the dilapidated church.

After placing Lily on the sofa, the Hestia family, who had been busy for most of the night, yawned and went to rest.

The next morning, on the sofa in the basement of Hestia's family, Lily, who had just woken up from the divine wine, bit her lower lip and curled up into a ball while trembling.

After Lily calmed down a little and felt the soft cushion of the sofa, she realized belatedly that she was not in the prison cell of the Soma clan.

Lily quietly raised her head and looked at the familiar scenery in the basement of the Hestia family. She raised her hand and twisted her arm hard.

"It hurts. This isn't a beautiful dream Lily had after drinking the divine wine. This is really the basement of Hestia's family. Lililili is not dreaming."

After rubbing her eyes and checking the surrounding environment again, Lily finally relaxed.

"She was really taken back to the Hestia Familia. Master Takagi Akira and the others didn't lie to Lily. That's great. It's really great that Lily wasn't abandoned this time."

As Lily spoke, big tears kept falling from her eyes.

Gao Muming walked into the basement carrying the rice porridge he had just bought. The first thing he saw was Lily curled up on the sofa.

"Lily has woken up. From the looks of her, she must be trying hard to suppress her desire for the 'divine wine'. At a time like this, she really needs someone to accompany her and give her spiritual encouragement."

"Sure enough, my decision not to go to the Hephaestus Familia to study today was the right one."

Thinking of this, Takagi Akira quickly walked to Lily's side and put his free hand on Lily's head and rubbed it.

"Lily, you're awake. I just bought some rice porridge. Have some."

Feeling the gentle touch on her head from Gao Muming, Lily did not respond immediately. She just lowered her head and kept wiping the tears that could not stop flowing from her eyes.

Seeing Lily's performance, Gao Muming thought that she had no energy to respond to him because she was suppressing her desire for the "divine wine". He rolled his eyes and continued to speak slowly, trying to ease Lily's spirit with words that he thought were humorous.

"I know you feel bad now. After all, it's normal to have a headache in the morning after a night of hangover."

"But I'm very experienced in dealing with hangovers. Just drinking some hot porridge can effectively relieve the symptoms of a hangover, so Lily, drink a little."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Lily raised her little face that looked like a crying kitten.

"You mean that's how to deal with a normal hangover? 'Divine Wine' doesn't cause a hangover headache."

Looking at Lily's tear-stained face and the bright red marks on her arms, Gao Muming, who thought that Lily had twisted herself to tears in order to use the pain to resist her desire for the 'divine wine', felt a surge of self-blame in his heart.

"Because of my intervention, Lily has to experience this torment once again."

"How could I have overlooked the fact that the Soma clan would do something as serious as coercing ordinary people?"

"It's all my fault for being too arrogant. I thought that adventurers with the 'Absolute' skill wouldn't attack ordinary people, so I subconsciously ignored the fact that adventurers from the Soma clan had no moral integrity and would do anything for the 'Divine Wine'."

Lily looked up and saw that Gao Muming's smiling face was changing colors like a palette. She was also shocked and asked in a low voice with some concern.

"Master Takagi Akira, has something happened?"

"fine."

Gao Muming shook his head and looked at Lily with some worry.

"How do you feel now?"

After hearing Gao Muming's question, Lily finally realized that she had not been able to resist the "divine wine" before and had indulged in it. Why didn't she crave for the "divine wine" as abnormally as before after she sobered up?

After getting rid of the shadow of the 'divine wine', Lily looked at Gao Muming with bright eyes.

"Don't worry, Master Takagi Akira. Lily feels great, better than ever before."

Even though Lily said this, Gao Muming was still a little worried that Lily was just pretending not to worry him.

"Really? Lily, if you feel something is wrong, just say it. There's no need to hide it."

Faced with Gao Muming's somewhat worried expression, Lily just felt warm in her heart.

"Don't worry, Lily doesn't feel anything wrong at all. Perhaps it's because Lily is now feeling happier than when she drank the 'divine wine', so the 'divine wine' has no attraction to Lily at all."

When Gao Muming was about to speak, Lily quickly interrupted him.

"Didn't Master Gao Muming say that he brought rice porridge for Lily? Lily feels a little hungry. Can I give it to her?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot you haven't had breakfast yet."

After being reminded by Lily, Gao Muming quickly placed the porridge in his hand in front of Lily.

Just as Gao Muming was enjoying breakfast with Lily, Bell, with a worried look on his face, was stopped by Xier at the door of the rich hostess.

"Bell-kun, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so worried this morning?"

Bell was stunned for a moment when Xier suddenly approached him. His face turned red under Xier's concerned gaze, and he couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart because of the pent-up emotions in his heart.

"Because of some things, I feel that I am too immature as the leader of the Hestia Familia. I am far inferior to Gao Muming in both wisdom and strength. I am not a qualified leader at all."

"I can't understand why the Supreme God would let me, who is inferior to Akira Takagi in every way, be the leader since we joined the Hestia Familia at the same time."

"Xi'er hasn't communicated much with the Gao Muming you mentioned, but I think Bell-kun doesn't need to be too anxious and should be more confident."

Xier put her hands behind her back, put her little face close to Bell, and comforted Bell softly.

"Compared to the gods, what we humans can see is too one-sided. You should trust the vision of your own clan's gods."

"Thanks to my many years as a waiter, I still have some understanding of adventurers. No matter how fast or slow the adventurer's strength improves in the early stage, he will reach his own bottleneck sooner or later."

"Since Goddess Hestia chose Bell as the leader of her clan, then Goddess Hestia must have seen something in you that is incomparable to that of Gao Muming."

"Really? You really think so?"

Hearing Xier's words, Bell subconsciously grabbed Xier's hand, and saw Xier nod shyly.

After getting Xier's affirmation, Bell, who was relatively simple-minded, was simply stimulated by the events of the Soma clan last night and was a little obsessed for a while. After getting Xier's comfort, Bell immediately figured it out and recovered his former vitality.
