Chapter 980 223: Doctrine-Oriented (Part 2)
"Is it possible that she's talking nonsense because she can't remember the doctrines?" Lin Rui thought to himself, completely aware of Audrey's ties.
But truth be told, Yuyu, this territorial priestess, truly has exceptional abilities in recruiting and converting followers. Numerous devotees from the territory knelt devoutly before her, listening to her teachings.
It's hard to say whether people really believe she can bring good luck or if they simply enjoy watching a beautiful, innocent girl constantly shift gears.
Audrey waved her hand carelessly, saying, "Who cares, as long as I can fool the believers. I like it, they like it, everyone's happy. Why worry about what the doctrine says? What's the doctrine of your favorite Divine Spirit?"
"Cough cough!" Lin Rui coughed lightly, quickly changing the topic, saying, "Let Silver Moon head to the Saint Hall of Fortune and bring Yuyu over to help analyze this issue, otherwise, I don't dare to use this Semi-Divine Artifact. Might as well treat a dead horse like a living one."
Right now, they're in front of the Goddess Pendulum, discussing their favorite Divine Spirit in front of the Goddess of Fortune herself?
This is so unfaithful!
No choice, Lin Rui is just that unfaithful.
Lin Rui never claimed his favorite Divine Spirit was the Goddess of Fortune.
Of course, it's just that the Goddess of Fortune's blessing is too powerful. She offers so much that Lin Rui can't refuse.
Who's Lin Rui's favorite Divine Spirit?
No need to think much about this; the blood running through his veins predetermines it. His favorite is obviously the God of Wealth.
Even Sadomasochism is ranked behind.
If Valentine's Day and the God of Wealth's day fell on the same day, see how many people care about what Valentine's Day is.
Riches or romance, choose one.
They're not the same dimension of choice; it's a direct dimensional reduction strike, completely overwhelming.
Apart from the pure boys and girls in the ivory tower, everyone would choose getting rich.
After all, with wealth, you can choose whatever partner you want and as many as you want.
Dropping ten billion, even the purest Goddess would be your admirer.
Then you'll understand what "unaware of wife's beauty" truly means.
Because every beautiful woman around you gazes at you lovingly, even ambitiously.
Unaware of wife's beauty, is truly no lie. Surrounded by top-tier beauties, even the most beautiful wife becomes ordinary, you won't even realize how beautiful she is.
As Lin Rui was contemplating about the God of Wealth, Silver Moon brought Yuyu over.
She was extremely languid, shielding her forehead with her hand, unhappy even as the sun, she directly pulled up Lin Rui's mage robe cloak, using it as a sunshade to hide away, speaking with a soft voice.
"What's up? Speak concisely, in this hot weather, I just want to cool down in the palace. Whatever it is can't be said inside with comfy sofas, the right temperature, watermelon, oranges, pomelos, strawberries, avocado, Life Fruits, etc. We could talk and eat, why summon me out here?"
Her tone carried a hint of resentment, emphasizing having some entertainment post meal in the palace was the point.
Matters between men and women are all about wanting more.
Though she's still a pure body, it doesn't mean she lacks a sense of pleasure.
For Lin Rui joined Plane Wars for so long, for her it's like a renewed honeymoon.
She thought last night Lin Rui would definitely come for her, but she waited until falling asleep in anticipation, and Lin Rui never showed.
So naturally, there's a hint of mood in her tone.
Luckily Lin Rui knew how to comfort her, saying, "I was thinking about meeting the Goddess of Fortune, intending to stay more in the palace afterward, to meet her with you."
"Really?" Hearing Lin Rui's words, she immediately brimmed with joy.
"Of course, would I joke about seeing the Goddess?" Lin Rui shifted back to the main topic, saying, "The reason for summoning you here is mainly for official matters. What do you think of this Semi-Divine Artifact's impact on me?"
Yuyu lazily glanced at it, saying, "How would I know? But my Divine Champion, if you can't decide, you can give it to Wutong, right? She's full of righteousness, almost flawless, surely she can bring various positive influences to the territory."
"I want to use it myself." Lin Rui decisively rejected this suggestion.
This Semi-Divine Artifact primarily offers a charm boost, it won't change with Talent strength or weakness.
Even if it did, Lin Rui wouldn't give it to Wutong.
Who says Wutong is flawless?
If she were flawless, how would her world head towards destruction?
Admittedly, it's due to the world's fortune being concentrated while Wutong alone occupies an overwhelming portion.
Yet Wutong's flaws are obvious; she's too kind-hearted to ruthlessly bring down the entire world as a desperate wager.
If this Semi-Divine Artifact: Breath of the Ancestral Race were given to Wutong, Lin Rui can already guess what effect it would have.
It would certainly be mercy, justice, serenity, righteousness, peace, compassion, spirituality, holiness, self-discipline, etc.
Oh, and add in aloofness.
She's the typical elegant Eastern Empress, a serenely aloof classical beauty, yet gentle and kind-hearted.
The complete opposite of Western seductive enchantresses like Audrey and Hanna.
If Breath of the Ancestral Race were really given to her, the gentle, aloof aura would sweep across the territory.
Everyone would become celibate. Moreover, the territory's Seductive Torture Corrosion would be completely wiped out.
This doesn't benefit Lin Rui's plan.
Even light Seductive Torture Corrosion is necessary for the territory.
If everyone stays reserved, then how would we propagate the population?
The territory doesn't have a Divine Office like matchmakers or gods of marriage yet.
Even if there was Moon Elder, what's the use? Isn't he still offline, leaving love to be governed by the God of Wealth?
That's why Lin Rui's stance is very resolute, saying, "No way, seriously think it through, what effect will this Breath of the Ancestral Race have on me? What should I do, how to guide it? Is it possible to possess both intelligence and seduction?"
Yuyu's stance was naturally saying, "Of course, and it must be so! Otherwise, what do you think Divine Spirits are? Only positive protection, without negative effects?"
Lin Rui was slightly taken aback, asking, "What does this mean?"
Yuyu shrugged, saying, "Perhaps there's a slight difference in thinking. For instance, your favorite God of Wealth..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Lin Rui interrupted her, saying, "My favorite has always been the Goddess of Fortune, use another analogy."
"Alright~" Yuyu couldn't be bothered commenting on his self-deception, continuing, "Let me tell you a story. You know the God of Fertility, right?"
Lin Rui shook his head, saying, "I've heard of him, but the territory hardly needs him, so I didn't get familiar. What domain does his Divine Authority encompass?"
Yuyu replied languidly, "Fertility, generally Gods associated with this term are often quite twisted."
"The God of Fertility, Frey aside from overseeing crop abundance, is also exceedingly active on male-female reproduction, very unsuitable for children."
"He's extremely beastly and incestuous, even his own sister the Beauty Goddess wasn't spared."
Audrey instantly had a bright-eyed expression, "So scandalous? Tell more."
Yuyu rolled her eyes, she's not uninterested in gossip, but dissatisfied with the current location, saying, "See, I told you to come to my palace, but you wanted to be outside. Otherwise, there'd be melon seeds, watermelons, drinks, gossip chit-chat, isn't that life?"
Seeing Audrey about to bring out seed drinks, Lin Rui immediately halted them both.
This is having no sister mourns for the heavens, having a sister mourns that she isn't the heavens!
Such matters of incest are very unsuitable for children, can't talk more.
"You mean Divine Office is often both good and evil? There's no purely positive Divine Spirit protection?"
