'Where the hell did that old geezer kick me out to?' Ryan thought as the blinding light subsided. He was standing in what looked like a luxurious room. He could only make out vague details using his that were still recovering. After focusing further on his senses other than sight, which was not completely reliable yet, he came to conclude that he was in a bathroom. And what was more shocking was that he was not alone in there. from the sound of flowing water, Ryan understood the other person was in the bathtub, which was right in front of him. 'Damn that blinding light! I cant clearly see who is in the tub. Besides, there were no bath tubs in Douluo Dalu, if there were any, they would have to be in...', He thought as he rubbed his eyes to clear them. What welcomed him as he opened his recovered eyes was a body rising from the water. Ryan felt like time itself stopped at that moment as he stood frozen in the same position, admiring each and every feature of the person who was now standing in the tub. The figure was feminine, with fair skin, crimson red lips, gentle eyes and a sharp nose. her limbs were perfectly proportioned too, with skin as smooth as chocolate. Her clearly defined curves looked like they were custom made to create the most beautiful woman in the entire universe. Ryan felt like she was a goddess. Well, he wasn't completely wrong because, she really was.

'.... The God's Realm', Ryan finished his earlier thought that was interrupted by the magnificence. Right then, he heard a long "Kyaaaaah" and felt a refreshing energy land on his face so hard that he crashed into the wall that was 20 metres behind him in an instant. From that one move, he understood just who he had offended. With trembling legs, he stood up, trying his maximum to keep his composure, and apologized to the lady in front of him : "I am very sorry miss....." He paused, to know her name, to ensure that he had the right person in front of him. "Sen Ming. My name is Sen Ming and I am a goddess." Replied the beautiful lady, with a crimson face and a cold look in her eyes, as a malachite green robe covered her entire body .

'I knew it!' Ryan exclaimed mentally as he heard what she said. it was Sen Ming. Goddess of Life. The wife of Hui Mie, who caused the destruction of TGR in DD 2.5. 'Damn, I just offended a God king', He thought as he mentally cursed the man who sent him here. ".... mis- sorry, goddess Sen Ming. I am terribly sorry for my manners. I didn't mean to barge in uninvited like this. Well, there was not much I could do anyway, I died and woke up here". He lied with a sincere expression, hoping she wouldn't be able to read his thoughts. "What?" Asked Sen Ming, her eyes now filled with curiosity and confusion. "Something like this has never happened before. But I guess that explains your form", she continued, pointing her chin towards Ryan, who was standing there confused. 'Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that cause of all the commotion' Ryan thought as he looked down. What he saw was a spiritual form, golden in colour. he felt like 'Neo' from 'The Matrix' as he saw his own yellow body. He also felt thankful as these kind of bodies dont have reproductive organs, if not, some parts would have offended the goddess biiiig time. "But that doesn't exempt you from the punishment for seeing me naked", Sen Ming said as the cold glare returned to her face and a weird green energy started pouring out of her hands. " please stop, esteemed goddess, I told you it was not my fault. Please spare me!" He pleaded to her as he got down on his knees. This was not acting. He actually was terrified. This was an actual god king. She could sneeze him out of his existence. The only reason he survived the first hit was because she was distracted. Otherwise he would have been obliterated.

"But you have to receive a punishment. No one gets off easily after seeing a lady naked, let alone a goddess. But, as this one was not entirely your fault, I will let you choose your punishment. You have five minutes to decide, starting now", Sen Ming said as a stopwatch appeared in her hand a started timing. Indded, she could not read his mind because of the intervention of space god's powers and thought he was saying the truth. ' What? Seriously?' Ryan thought as he furiously searched for a way to get out of this. Soon, a light bulb was lit in his brain, or whatever that was filling that void in spiritual form. He asked, with a tiny bit of hope in his eyes, "Miss, are you married?". She didn't see this coming. Her face blushed lightly, without a change in expression, as she replied, "How is that related to your punishment? Are you seriously asking this? You have 3 more minutes left. Anyway, the answer is no.", saying the latter sentence dismissively. 'Yes!' Exclaimed Ryan, as glimmer of hope appeared in his vision. What he had thought of was that; Eventhough she was with Hui Mie in DD 2.5, that doesn't mean she has been with him for 20000 years. Also, there was no mention of this in original DD, which was hopefully this timeline. So, if she wasn't married yet, he could use this to his advantage. He replied with a usual sly smile, " Then goddess, I would like my punishment to be in form of a bet".

"A bet? What bet?" Sen Ming asked curiously. "Marry me" Said Ryan. That moment, he felt a tremendous amount of pressure on him as he was forced on to his knees again. "Little, brat, are you saying that marrying me is like a punishment?" Sen Ming's eyes glowed green with anger as her faced turned stiff in an infuriated manner. "Please, hear me out, I mean no offence" Ryan said as he continued, still feeling the pressure." What I meant was, if a lady's husband sees her naked it is fine right? So, what I meant was, to rid yurself of the shame, you should marry me. But, as I am now, I know it is impossible. Hence, my bet. If I can be a god in the next 35 years, be my wife". This made sense to Sen Ming. She was a good person. She was the goddess of life dammit, so killing someone is only her desperate measure. As the intensity of her anger decreased, so did the pressure on Ryan. Feeling the pressure lessen, being stupidly confident like he was on drugs, he continued with a forced smile, "So, what do you say goddess Sen Ming?". After thinking about it for another 10 minutes, Sen Ming said, "Say, I am not clear. Trying to become a god is not a punishment. It is the ultimate aim of all in mortal realm. Even you, after reincarnation will be trying to do just that. So, where exactly in this bet is the punishment? And what happens if you lose the bet?"."Aha, that is the billion dollar question. See goddess, if I lose, you can at that moment, unleash the divine punishment on me. So I will always be in fear of this. That is a lot of suffering isn't it? And as to why I think you will agree to this, I think you are a kind goddess". Sen Ming blushed as Ryan continued, "Hence I am sure you won't resort to killing or torturing someone unless absolutely necessary. So please goddess give me a chance." The coldness in sen ming's eyes now vanished completely and was replaced by a playful joy as she said: "Alright human, I will agree to this deal. However, slight change in rules. It is gonna be 30 years and you should at least become a first-class god. My gme, my rules. Now, let me see how much you can entertain me. And about being your wife, I will think about it if you meet these criteria" and summoned another stopwatch, of the same compact size as the old one, only that this time, it had only 30 lines. Sen Ming's thumb started slowly moving towards the switch on top of it.As Ryan said "Yes ma'am" cheerfully, he thought ,' Damn. She beat me in my own game. "I will think about it"? why are all the gods "thinking about it" all of a sudden? And criteria? What is this a military selection camp? hah..... But there is no other way now. that old geezer must be laughing his heart out now, as if this is some punishment for me getting the better of him with those wishes. By the way, how the hell am I gonna win this bet without reincarnating? The stopwatch is about to start. Should I ask her to reincarnate me? That would be anticlimactic. What the hell did that old man do? I didn't have enough time to think about it sice I got here, but, why am I not a baby? Why am I in TGR?' As realisation dawned on his face, he understood this was all a part of his plan to get back at him. But, was it really? As if on cue, he felt cold wind from his back and a hand his nape, pulling him back, and a voice of someone apologising whiile trying to suppress his laughter: "Oops. My bad, my bad. Sent you to the wrong realm. Hope you dont mind. Hahahaha". Deep laughter filled the room as space god could no longer contain his laughter inside.

As Sen Ming's thumb pressed the stopwatch, the form of the man was getting pulled into the space vortex in front of her. She looked in shock at the spirit form as Ryan yelled out, "Don't forget me goddess, my name is Ryan Jacobs. That will be how I introduce myself to you he next time we meet. See ya...!!!!!" and then she saw the spirit turning his head towards the laughter coming from from the vortex and shouting: "Why you sick son of a biiiiiiiiiitch!!!!!....." as he got completely sucked into it. The vortex collapsed immediately. As Sen Ming comprehended what just happened, shock, surprise and fear assaulted mind, as she understood that the man who stood before her earlier was not a simple case. However, as she felt the spatial energy that sucked him into the vortex, she involuntarily said "Kong Jian?".

A few seconds later, Ryan opened his eyes ones again, but this time, there was not space, nor any blinding lights. Instead, he felt a warm hand holding him. As he looked up he saw the face of a gentle, smiling lady, with slightly moist eyes and the face of a man, with a stiff face and sharp features, with eyes full of pride. But, as he looked down, he realised something and started thinking 'No, no, no, no, no, no, You can't do this to me, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!! WHITE ROBE??!!! ARE MY PARENTS FROM SPIRIT HALL!!!!!!??????????'.
