Still lamenting the fbc78aa570 loss of her 16affed191 lighter, she grabbed 83333d0891 a paper knife 3aaec74920 and a wine 357128207e opener in each 2a040af093 hand, stabbed the 5bf1257c91 necks of the 6f9ef5eba2 two charging gods, 656cec81c0 and kicked them 6b1a825f25 hard.

This wasn’t unexpected either. Whenever Wol didn’t comply with her wishes, Wolgungju would throw her around like a toy to various gods under the pretext of disciplining her. Then, just before Wol died, she would magnanimously heal her, diligently instilling pain and fear into Wol’s body and mind. No matter how hard Wol tried to hide it, her body, remembering the horrific torture, would freeze up like a fool in front of Wolgungju.3db7ce2be320f955
