Chapter 477 Little Xiangru, Super Empowering!2
For this charity fundraiser, Hua Jinse had requested the Dragon King Temple be closed to tourists for the day. However, many tourists, especially those who had traveled from afar specifically to visit the Dragon King Temple, couldn’t just miss it. As a result, many people were on the outskirts of the temple, taking pictures from a distance.
After all, the Statue of the Holy Maiden was so towering that even from the outskirts of the Dragon King Temple, one could still take a perfect photo with it.
At this moment, they were unaware of what had happened, simply observing from afar a dignified and noble woman standing atop the Statue of the Holy Maiden, surrounded by a school of Little Liyus.
Later, they saw everyone on the altar bowing deeply and reverently to the Statue of the Holy Maiden, which piqued their curiosity even more.
"What’s happening? What’s going on? What has occurred?"
"Why are they all kneeling? What are they shouting about?"
"Who is that woman standing on the Statue of the Holy Maiden, and why are there so many Little Liyus surrounding her?"
"..."
Just then, someone ran down from the altar, sprinting to the outskirts of the Dragon King Temple to excitedly spread the word.
"The Saintess has reincarnated! Si Mingjing is the reincarnation of the Saintess!"
"Our most revered divine Saintess has finally returned to the mortal realm!"
"Let us all worship her, long live the Saintess!"
The man, shouting like a diehard fan, drew everyone’s attention.
He was a Junior Priest who served the High Priest, sent by the High Priest himself to spread the news!
And so, more and more people knelt down to worship.
The High Priest was ecstatic. He could scarcely believe he would witness the Saintess’s reincarnation in his lifetime!
Fifteen minutes later, the assassination had not occurred.
Si Mingjing held Little Xiangru in her arms, her lips curling into a small smile. It seemed Huo Liwen no longer dared to assassinate her, did he?
The revelation of her status as the reincarnated Saintess was outside Si Mingjing’s original plans, yet it didn’t affect the overall situation. She had never intended to keep a low profile indefinitely after coming to Mu Continent.
Si Mingjing stroked the docile Little Xiangru in her hands and said, "Xiangru, take these Little Liyus and leave first. Mommy will find you later."
"Understood!"
Little Xiangru was exceptionally obedient. After swimming from Si Mingjing’s hand, he called out loudly in his crisp little voice, "Go! Go! Go! Everyone follow this fishy!"
Little Xiangru had intended to leave, but after swimming for a while, he had a sudden inspiration: he wanted to give his Mommy an even bigger gift.
He said, "Brothers! Little brothers! Big sisters! Let’s strike a pose and send blessings to my Mommy!"
The other Little Liyus didn’t know how.
They all asked Little Xiangru for instructions.
After racking his brain, inspiration struck Little Xiangru. "I’ve got it!" he exclaimed. "Let’s all form the words ’Long live the Saintess!’ How about that?"
Thus, as Si Mingjing transformed into the White Dragon and glided down to the altar, she discovered hundreds, even thousands, of Little Liyus above her, forming four words: Long live the Saintess!
That scene was witnessed by everyone!
Si Mingjing’s lips curled into a grateful smile. Moved by her supportive son, she looked around at everyone on the altar. "Have I passed the verification?" she asked. "Does anyone still have objections?"
The altar fell silent.
Those who had clamored for her to prove herself now gazed at her with extreme fervor!
They didn’t mind in the least that they had been proven wrong; at this moment, they only wished to worship the goddess in their hearts!
The switch from haters to diehard fans happened in an instant!
At that moment, Ye Jingzhe approached Si Mingjing with his proud little steps. His eyes lacked the fervor seen in others. Instead, he reached out his small hand, grasped Si Mingjing’s, and said in an imperious and very displeased little voice, "Auntie Si, this is the only time!"
His tone seemed to say: Only this once! If you ever do something this dangerous again, this Young Master will never forgive you!
Si Mingjing reached out, picked Ye Jingzhe up, and kissed his little forehead. "Don’t worry," she said gently. "Auntie Si is fine, isn’t she?"
"Humph!" What if something had happened? How would he explain it to Gu Shurong? If Gu Shurong lost his mother, he would surely cry his heart out! Ye Jingzhe didn’t want Gu Shurong to be sad!
At that moment, someone suddenly rushed onto the altar and loudly said, "What does this prove? Maybe anyone who stands on the Statue of the Holy Maiden will attract the Little Liyus!"
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Bai Qingshui pushing through the guards surrounding the altar, strong-arming her way onto the altar.
Bai Chuanfeng was slightly surprised to see her daughter. "Qingshui, my Qingshui."
"Mother..." Bai Qingshui rushed into Bai Chuanfeng’s arms.
"How did you end up here?" asked Bai Chuanfeng.
When Bai Chuanfeng saw Bai Qingshui’s surgically altered face, completely unharmed, she was overjoyed. However, wasn’t Si Lisao supposed to take her daughter to restore her original appearance?
Bai Qingshui, feeling as though she had survived a disaster, said, "Mother, Crown Prince Lisao sent me here. He couldn’t bring himself to go through with it in the end."
After Si Lisao’s guards took her away, Bai Qingshui was sent to a plastic surgery hospital.
Just when Bai Qingshui thought it was all over, as she lay on the operating table and the doctors began to make incisions on her face, someone suddenly burst in. They announced that Crown Prince Lisao had ordered the surgery to be temporarily halted.
In that moment, Bai Qingshui knew Crown Prince Lisao still had feelings for her. After all, he couldn’t bear to let them operate on her face! Crown Prince Lisao still cared a lot about her face!
This restored Bai Qingshui’s confidence, filling her with self-assurance once more. Yes, she absolutely had to protect this face!
Today, Crown Prince Lisao had brought her to the altar. Although she didn’t know his intentions, the sight of Si Mingjing standing atop the Statue of the Holy Maiden, worshipped by all, filled Bai Qingshui with a raging jealousy. She fumed internally. This couldn’t possibly prove Si Mingjing was the reincarnated Saintess, could it? What right did she have to be hailed ’Long live the Saintess’? Maybe if anyone else stood there, they would attract the Little Liyus too? Anyway, Bai Qingshui was determined to try! If she could also attract the Little Liyus, wouldn’t that mean she might also be the reincarnated Saintess? Even if it didn’t prove she was, it could at least cast doubt on Si Mingjing! She just couldn’t bear to see Si Mingjing receive the adoration of the masses!
The High Priest, hearing Bai Qingshui’s words, fiercely rebuked, "Silence! How dare you disrespect the Saintess? It has been passed down by High Priests for generations that only the Saintess, standing on the Statue of the Holy Maiden, can attract the Little Liyus. How could this tradition be wrong?"
Bai Qingshui defiantly retorted, "But what if there is someone else who, standing on the Statue of the Holy Maiden, can also attract the Little Liyus?"
"Who? Who has such capability?"
Bai Qingshui stepped forward. "I want to try! If I can also attract the Little Liyus, then it would mean that Si Mingjing might not be the reincarnation of the Saintess!"
With that, she didn’t wait for the High Priest’s permission and left the altar.
She intended to leave the waterproof barrier, swim to the Statue of the Holy Maiden, and shatter the illusions of these fanatics!
Before long, Bai Qingshui swam to the Statue of the Holy Maiden. She stood where Si Mingjing had stood moments before, gazing down at the entire royal city, waiting... waiting for a miracle...
