My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 141: Under the Sakura Parasol

"A fox-kin? Please be mindful of your words, for you are still a lowly demi-human." The arrogant young master frowned and stared at the mezzanine floor.

"Is that so? It’s funny for a weak human like you to talk about that in front of me." Yuuki covered her mouth with a folding fan gracefully. She glared at those arrogant brats as if they were just a speck of dirt.

"Fox, do you think I won’t dare to" The arrogant young master turned around, about to teach the fox girl a lesson, but someone intercepted him.

"My apologies, sir. You may offend the hegemony. Your remark also angered many people. If you have any dissatisfaction, let’s have a little chat over there." A white-haired young scholar pointed to the exit.

"..." The arrogant young master glanced at the people, then at the VIP seats above.

Apart from the fox-kin who was blatantly provoking him, almost everyone else looked at him angrily. He was never scared of them, but somehow he felt goosebumps.

He would remember that fox slave and make her life difficult later. But, there was someone who challenged him. He snorted and went out, and the young scholar followed shortly after.

*Bam* *Whamp!*

A fight broke out, and a commotion was heard from the corridor.

"Holy cow."

"That young scholar turned out to be a martial artist too."

"Hck, that young master and his knights got beaten up. I want to punish that bastard too. Go with me, my brothers. Help that scholar teach them a lesson."

"Tch, they dare to mock the fox sisters. They deserve some beatings."

"It’s a crime if a young scholar beat them up, but it will be their fault if they got beaten by the masses."

"That makes sense."

Someone proposed, and several others agreed. One person started it, and more than fifteen people immediately came out to help the young scholar beat up the three arrogant brats.

"Consider they are lucky." Yuuki snorted and retracted her ice trap. She intended to freeze those arrogant brats into chunks of ice, but that young scholar took them out and beat them up.

"He is the same person as the previous old man in a white coat." Ely suddenly commented.

"Huh? That drunk old man is nowhere to be found. Is that person an expert in disguise?" Jophiel checked it. She couldn’t find the old man in question.

"Mhm, let’s leave." Ely nodded and got up from her seat.

She didn’t intend to punish those arrogant just because of their hate remarks, but they had already got beaten by the young scholar and the masses.

Luckily, the annoyed Yuuki didn’t make a move, or those people would suffer a lot.

When Ely’s group came down, several city guards had already taken away the beaten, arrogant brats. Because the arrogant brats provoked the wrath of the masses and caused trouble, they would be detained in the city jail for several days.

Ely glanced at a particular corner and gave a subtle nod. The man in the black robe replied with a nod, then walked away. She greeted her disciple, but he just left...

Ely then invited Yuuki to go with her and Jophiel. "Let’s take a little stroll, then visit Sylvi and Gab-chan."

"I don’t really like crowds. I will protect you from somewhere nearby. Call me if you need me." Yuuki raised her hand in farewell, then flew out.

"Phew. You deserve it, fckers." The young scholar rubbed his forehead in relief and pleasure.

He beat up those bastards and taught them a lesson. They wouldn’t be able to find him because he was currently still in disguise.

After the city guards took the arrogant brats away, he turned around. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of the nine-tailed snow fox flying out at an impressive speed.

"Huh?" The young scholar was stunned for a moment. He could recognize that nine-tailed snow fox. She was not the performer from the show just now, but the authentic legendary nine-tailed fox!

The fox little sister might be nearby since the fox big sister was there. He looked right and left but couldn’t find the nine-tailed shadow fox.

His attention was drawn to a lady in a white-red outfit and a veiled lady in pink. They walked away and just went down the stairs. He immediately rushed after them.

"Wait, please wait." The young scholar caught up with the two ladies.

"..." Jophiel glanced sideways but spoke nothing.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" Ely greeted politely. She put on the attitude of the first meeting.

But she was slightly surprised because this young hero could easily notice her through her anti-attention talisman.

"..." Bai Yuchen looked at the veiled lady in a pink outfit. She was all pink, from her hair, eyes, veil, dress, to shoes.

However, he didn’t dare to look at her for long because she gave off the dangerous vibe of a poisonous demoness.

As for the stunning lady in a traditional white-red outfit, he could see she was a gentle yet tender girl with a sweet attitude.

She was gorgeous and graceful but also exuded a holy aura typical of a saintess. For some reason, he felt the seven-petal pink flower on this gentle lady’s head was similar to the one owned by the nine-tailed shadow fox, Lady Kitsune.

"!!!" Bai Yuchen came to a realization, and he immediately cleared his throat. "Ahem. Are you from Sacred Sakura?"

"Yes. My name is Miko, the shrine priestess of the Sacred Sakura." Ely introduced herself briefly.

"Saintess Miko? Oh, so that’s you. I’ve heard of you before. You’re much more stunning than I expected." Bai Yuchen dropped his fist onto his open palm.

He knew about the Sacred Sakura’s saintess as described by that young mage back then, and he met the saintess in person now! His luck caused him to encounter many good things, one after another, and he was confident with his fortune.

"My apologies, but have we met before?" Ely asked in wonder, as she did not remember meeting this young hero with her shrine priestess identity.

"Hehe. You may not know me, but I do know you. This may be rude, but the world is dangerous for two beauties to wander around unguarded. Let me do a little favor to escort you on your visit to this city." Bai Yuchen offered it politely.

He wanted to get to know Sacred Sakura’s people more deeply, and he was overjoyed when Saintess Miko agreed to his request.

---

A few moments passed. Bai Yuchen escorted the beauties for a downtown area tour.

He revealed his real identity, Bai Yuchen, the rogue cultivator. He introduced himself as an acquaintance of Lady Kitsune, leading him to tell the truth before the pure and gentle saintess.

It was snowing, and Jophiel opened a sakura parasol. She then came closer and put her hand on her master’s arm.

Ely appreciated it. She then turned to the side. "Young hero, may I know what you are doing in this city? Are you a local resident?"

"Hehe, I want to hone my skills by fighting against the strong demonic beasts and demons. I heard that some winter demonic beast tides will trample the nearby towns. What about you, Saintess Miko?" Bai Yuchen rubbed his head.

"Hmm, I take a stroll and experience a life." Ely replied with a subtle smile. She paused for a moment and asked. "What do you think about the peace treaty and the current alliance?"

"Hmm... If you talk about ancient demons, it’s still a bit gray. However, they agreed to the peace treaty after they obtained the border territory. The dark knight senior and Sacred Sakura are behind the peace treaty. Everything is nice. But, the demons from the Demon Realm refused the peace. Thus, the Demon Realm is still a threat. Temporary peace is always good. There is no eternal peace anyway." Bai Yuchen caught the snowflake and looked up at the sky.

"I see... Thank you, young hero. Please accept this small gift." Ely handed over a small storage pouch to Bai Yuchen.

"Everything is alright. I’m still indebted to Lady Kitsune. But, what is this, Saintess Miko?" Bai Yuchen accepted the small pouch on reflex.

He peeked inside and was surprised to find two kilograms of sparkling green spirit stones and several life-saving talismans.

"This... I can’t accept such an extravagant gift..." Despite saying that, Bai Yuchen held the storage pouch tightly as if he wouldn’t let it go.

After all, he became poor and didn’t have any spirit stones to improve his cultivation. He had spent all of his wealth to break through to 4th Rank...

He had to go for the demonic beast subjugation to reap some benefits. He also wished to go to an unexplored secret realm to plunder some treasures.

"Consider it as our investment. You are a rising hero but cannot fend for yourself forever. You can also take the test to join our Sacred Sakura. This is my token. Please let me know if you need our help with it." Ely shoved a little wooden plaque into Bai Yuchen’s hand.

Bai Yuchen stared at the Siantess Miko’s pure gaze. He could see no hidden motives or anything. She made him owe her a favor, but he was overjoyed and motivated. "This... I am forever grateful! Thank you very much, Saintess Miko."

"Fufu, worry not. We might need your help in the future too." Ely smiled and waved her hand.

Ely and Jophiel walked away, but Bai Yuchen was still escorting them.

Under the falling snow, a young mage in a white-blue cloak stopped in his tracks. He looked back to observe the ladies under the sakura parasol and the white-haired scholar.

"What’s wrong, Chen Fan?" A lady in a winter coat turned around. Her childhood friend stared intensely at another woman again. She immediately pinched her childhood friend’s arm because she was annoyed.

"Ouch! What are you doing, Zi-Zhen? Hey, I think we met acquaintances. Let’s greet them." Chen Fan rubbed his arm. He then went after the ladies under the sakura parasol.

"Acquaintances?" Wang Zi Zhen wondered. She then followed Chen Fan obediently.
