My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 140: Drama Show

"They will be fine. Sylvi probably won’t come out of the room as she is so eager to study. I will watch over you and protect you from the shadows." Yuuki responded as Ely glanced at her.

"Ah-mm..." Ely opened her mouth to speak, but Yuuki had already jumped from the building and gone somewhere. Even so, she could still sense Yuuki was nearby.

"Now it’s just the two of us, master. Shall we go for a walk?" Jophiel invited her master with several expectations in mind.

"Alright. Let’s go." Ely nodded in agreement. She activated an anti-attention talisman. Nobody could see them easily unless someone focused on them from close proximity.

After that, she went to the downtown area with Jophiel.

There were many concrete buildings, but none that exceeded five stories. As the defensive city closest to the border, the Reustin City was much more like any other bustling city, but with many fighters and defensive troops.

Various renovations and developments could be seen everywhere. After the first defense city fell, this city received more attention. A massive change has been poured into this city since last week.

Despite the large military force stationed in this city, there were still relatively many slums and poor people.

Ely and Jophiel walked through the slums as they took a shortcut to the downtown area.

"..." Jophiel felt uncomfortable as she found many people were starving and almost freezing to death. Most of them had also fallen ill.

Her eyes suddenly glistened when her master took out a green lotus artifact.

"Winter has just started, but there is no new year atmosphere here. It’s not the time for you to fall yet. Wake up, and strive for a better life. There is still something you can do." Ely controlled her healing assistance artifact to fly around as she used her healing skill.

The patients were the only ones who bore the costs of the fast recovery and healing, of course.

The surrounding people suddenly felt well, fresh, and healthy. Their bodies also became warm somehow.

They walked out of their cold wooden houses and stared at the floating green lotus with awe and reverence.

*Thud*

A food parcel and a bundle of firewood fell in front of the people. One pack for one person. More than sixty packages were distributed on the way.

It was as if God had come to help them.

The black-haired lady in a white-red outfit and the veiled lady in a pink dress could be seen in the distance. The graceful girl’s gentle yet soothing voice was heard by everyone, and it was ringing in their minds.

They were grateful and immediately prostrated to worship the floating green lotus and the two ladies.

"Thank you, generous fairy!"

It might seem like a selfless act of charity, but Ely did it for herself. What happened recently made her a bit stressed out. She gave some kindness to needy people to calm her heart.

A few moments later, Ely and Jophiel arrived at the downtown area. They visited one of the properties owned by the Guardian of Dream.

It was a tea house restaurant with a three-level building designed in a traditional spring style.

A stage was provided on the second floor. A group of performers were playing a drama show. Many customers came to watch it as it was popular lately. Most of them came mainly to watch the show over tea and snacks.

Ely, Yuuki, and Jophiel were in the VIP seats at that time. They watched the drama story from the mezzanine floor.

It was about the long-lost fox sisters...

"No one is allowed to touch my lil sis!" The nine-tailed snow fox confronted the hordes of villains with a sword in hand.

She then clashed with many influential experts with her ice techniques.

"I won’t let you hurt my sister!" The nine-tailed shadow fox rushed between her sister and the villains. She used a smoke bomb and paralyzed the villains.

After that, she bonked them and then enlightened the villains. The fox-kin was friends, not food.

The villains were punished, and the nine-tailed fox sisters changed the fox-kin’s fate. That was how the fox-kin hunt was stopped from the entire Northern Realm and most areas of the Human Realm.

"I don’t use any smoke bomb..." Ely muttered softly. For some reason, she felt embarrassed after watching the show.

"What’s with that cheap throwing ice cubes technique? My ice technique is way more impressive than that." Yuuki was dissatisfied with what she just watched.

"I know, right... But everyone is entertained. It’s a phenomenal tale from the Northern Realm that changed the fox-kin’s fate." Jophiel put her hands together. The fox sisters’ story was outstanding.

It all started with the separated fox sisters. Fate brought them together, and they fought many villains to protect each other.

"Hehe." Ely chuckled as she found Yuuki’s dissatisfied expression was unique.

Yuuki usually has a cold or experienceless temperament. It was fresh in her eyes when Yuuki displayed various expressions and emotions.

"Thank you for watching our daytime drama show."

The performers and the storytellers lined up on the stage and bowed respectfully.

A young boy got off the stage and went around the hall with a medium-sized cauldron in his arms. The customers gave some coins to appreciate the performers.

"Hey, I heard this night’s show is about the great war."

"Yeah, the title is ’the great war tension’. Unlike the wholesome sisterhood story ’the fox sisters’ earlier. This show is filled with many actions and techniques."

"This story is a bit controversial but so interesting. Many experts died on the battlefield. For those who missed the real great war scene, then you should watch it. But no children are allowed to watch. That’s why it’s played at nighttime."

"Hey, I’m not a child."

"But, the great war roughly related to the fox sisters’ story."

"Huh, why is that?"

"That’s because the Tiangong Sacred Land is one of the main villains. The great war involves that sacred land’s destruction."

"Oh! I know about that. The fox sisters are protected by the Sacred Sakura Holy Land, and anyone who offends Sacred Sakura will meet a terrible fate."

"The Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and the Blood Moon Pavilion are Sacred Sakura’s allies. The Tiangong Sacred Land has been wiped off the map now. Even the Great Ancestor and all the higher-ups cannot escape the purge."

"You, bastard! Don’t spoil me with your spoilers! I just came out of my cave!"

"You noob. I’ve watched the great war with my own eyes, but I already watched the show for the second time."

"That’s the fourth time for me. It only gets played twice a week, just like the Fox sisters. If you miss it this night, you’ll have to wait another three days."

"Then, I won’t miss this nighttime drama show."

The customers talked to each other in a lively atmosphere.

"Foolish. The peace treaty is nothing more than a fake peace. What is Sacred Sakura and its justice? They collaborate with demons. They are a demonic sect." A man in a fancy noble outfit grumbled in annoyance.

"Yeah. I heard they have a Young Demon God on their side. Those demons who occupy the territory on the border are their allies too. The fox sisters are cringey, and the peace treaty is fakey."

"If it weren’t for the Human Ancestors’ generosity, the Sacred Sakura and those ancient demons would have been wiped out by the Human Realm Alliance."

The two young men in knight armor supported their boss’ statement.

*Bam!*

Someone in a white coat slammed his hand onto the table. "Shut the fck up, fckers! You mongrels don’t even know the cruelty of the life-and-death battle. If it weren’t for Sacred Sakura, the great war would be expanded, and you mongrels with no strength would have died like nobody."

"Huh? Who is he? The Sacred Sakura’s fanboy?"

"But, he’s old already."

"Heh. Old man with the smell of dirt. Just mind your own business, or you will get hurt."

The three young knights grinned, then walked away.

"Halt! Who allowed you to leave?" The man in a white coat growl like a beast. He was about to chase those brats, but someone stopped him.

"Old man, just let them be for your own good. Those brats have never known about the outside world. They can talk as they please because they have a strong background. He is a young master from a renowned warrior clan and his attendants." A chubby man kindly gave a piece of advice.

"If I want to go, then nobody can stop me. What can you do with your fragile body, old man?" The arrogant young master glanced at the man in a white coat with an intimidating death stare.

Unfortunately, the man in a white coat grunted and left the scene.

"Oh? Then take one step away from your current footing, and we’ll see what happens, arrogant brats."

A girl’s graceful voice sounded from upstairs, and the temperature suddenly turned icy cold.
