My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 142: Rising Heroes’ Encounter

Ely observed the hustle and bustle of the city. She could see no fear or anxiety on citizens’ faces. Some of them even talked about the peace treaty that had just happened.

Even though they knew it might just be a temporary peace, at least they didn’t have to worry about the demon invasion for several years.

The evil demons of the Demon Realm had to deal with the powerful ancient demons first if they still wanted to invade the land under the turquoise sky.

The peace treaty overseer was backed by Sacred Sakura and supported by Frozen Cloud from the north and Blood Moon from the south. The Human Realm’s alliance, the Northern Realm’s alliance, and the ancient demons would maintain temporary peace as long as Sacred Sakura existed.

That was what Ely heard from people’s conversations. However, everyone wondered where the Sacred Sakura Holy Land was located and what kind of background this sacred sect had.

Some so many magic practitioners and cultivators wished to join Sacred Sakura.

"Alas. It’s a shame because there is very little information about Sacred Sakura."

"Yeah, Sacred Sakura is a mysterious hidden sacred sect. However, their power is at the world’s pinnacle. I heard rumors that Sacred Sakura could turn the entire great continent upside down if they wanted to."

"For real?"

"If we consider a sacred land generally only have one absolute backer at Deity-level or above, then Sacred Sakura is definitely ahead. They have tons of 10th Rank experts, but those pinnacle-level powerhouses are only class-leading elders."

"Wow! Imagine what the great elders or the sect leader of Sacred Sakura are like."

"They are definitely immortal old monsters beyond our comprehension. They also have a wonderful saintess. Their holy saintess is a lovely human girl for a sacred land without discrimination!"

"Yeah. I’ve heard about it. She is Lady Miko. She was last seen in Lumina City."

"A beautiful young saintess who descended from her sacred land to experience mortal life. I heard that Sacred Sakura’s saintess always wears her sacred white-red outfit."

"???" Ely wondered why the surrounding people were suddenly talking about her.

She passed through a fairly busy street, but she found several children looking at her for some reason.

The anti-attention talisman seemed to be losing its effect, and the innocent kids with sharp perspectives could spot her easily.

"Well, I heard the Tiangong Sacred Land has been completely destroyed. Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and Blood Moon Pavilion destroyed that sacred land for Sacred Sakura’s sake."

"Hell. A sacred land could collapse that easily after they offended Sacred Sakura. Even two sacred lands did their best to curry favor."

Passers-by conversation made Ely remember something. She had to meet the Frozen Cloud’s and Blood Moon’s representatives soon. The Tiangong Sacred Land was already reduced to ruins. Yet, after that incident, she never heard any news about Frozen Cloud and Blood Moon.

"It really is you. Hi, how coincidental is it for us to meet here, Lady Miko."

"Ah, wonderful! We really meet again. Thank you for saving us last week."

A dashing mage in a fancy white-blue outfit and a pretty girl in a winter white robe came closer.

"..." Ely took out her anti-attention talisman from her sleeve. That one was dim and would lose its effect in a few seconds.

[Chen Fan (FV: 3410) | 4th Rank Mid Stage]

[Favorability: 82%]

[Talent: 5 Stars | UR]

Ely wondered about the last time she met a human with UR talent. Chen Fan was clearly from the Luponia Magic Academy. That was clear from the emblem on his outfit and mantle.

Bai Yuchen upgraded his talent to UR because of his God-tier spear and its guidance. However, Chen Fan’s God-tier legacy was still mysterious.

She knew both of them were the rising heroes on the battlefield last week. They possessed strength that could rival opponents far above their power rank.

Therefore, she glanced at Bai Yuchen to compare the two rising heroes.

[Bai Yuchen (FV: 3670) | 4th Rank Late Stage]

[Favorability: 87%]

[Talent: 5 Stars | UR]

They both broke through to 4th Rank in just a week.

’As expected of the God-tier legacy inheritor.’ Ely guessed Bai Yuchen was a reincarnated God or something similar.

However, she didn’t expect the young man she saved in the incident at Luponia Magic Academy to be a God-tier legacy inheritor as well. The UR talent was the obvious indicator.

’But, my disciples are no less than the God-tier legacy inheritors! They started over from scratch, and I nurtured them with care. It’s only been three years, and everyone is already 4th Rank and above. Also, my core disciple has already reached the 6th Rank with SSR talent! They will reach the pinnacle sooner or later.’ Ely placed her disciples in a higher place than the God-tier legacy inheritors.

Her disciples had SR talent or above, and they kept advancing. The blood of heroes flowed in their bodies. It was only a matter of time for them to reach the top, and her teachings had accelerated their progress.

"It’s not worth mentioning." Ely replied with a tender smile.

"Lady Miko?"

"Sacred Sakura’s holy saintess is here!?"

"White-red outfit with a holy-like aura... that’s her for sure."

"Oh, my God. She has arrived in this city, but why did I only realize it now?"

"Let’s greet her."

"I want to get acquainted with her!"

"Me too!"

The surrounding people immediately surrounded the Sacred Sakura’s holy saintess. However, the two young heroes soon made their moves.

Chen Fan used his magic to create a barrier instantly. "I don’t think this is the right place to talk. If you will, please follow us. We know a good place."

"Please make a way! Everything was fine a moment ago, but they’ve become crazy fans? Hey, young mage. It is your fault!" Bai Yuchen prevented people from getting close using his spiritual power.

"A bunch of annoying fleas." Jophiel muttered softly when she noticed her master’s discomfort. She activated an artifact and took her master away instantly.

*Zap*

It was short-distance teleportation, and they moved twenty meters from the starting location.

"You saved the day with your quick action, Jophi-chan." Ely breathed a sigh of relief and immediately activated another anti-attention talisman.

"This place is no longer good for our stroll, master. Let’s move somewhere else." Jophiel glanced at the intruders. Apart from those annoying people, two lechers were also targeting her master.

"Um, okay." Ely nodded in agreement with Jophiel’s suggestion. She glanced back, then walked away.

She invested in Bai Yuchen, and he would owe her a favor. He might be useful for Sacred Sakura or the Guardian of Dream in the future. As for Chen Fan, he was already affiliated with another organization, and she didn’t have any plans for him.

Meanwhile, Bai Yuchen and Chen Fan noticed the saintess was nowhere near them. They used their swift movement technique to escape from the crowd.

Unfortunately, Chen Fan forgot about his childhood friend. Wang Zi-Zhen was still trapped in the crowd. Those people were eager to get acquainted with Sacred Sakura’s holy saintess, but the person was no longer there.

"Hey, I’m not the saintess. Please let me go!" Wang Zi-Zhen complained, but she was already caught up in the crowd.

Two young men stood facing each other on the roof of a four-story building. They didn’t speak for a few seconds, just stared at each other in astonishment.

"Yo, it’s been a while. Are you okay? Why did you suddenly appear and expose Saintess Miko’s identity in public? She ran away because of you." Bai Yuchen complained about what had just happened.

"You... are you that white tiger boy, Bai Yuchen? Why are you disguising yourself as a human now? Are you trying to trick Lady Miko?" Chen Fan crossed his arms over his chest.

"Does that have anything to do with you? She’s not your girlfriend or anything. What’s more, you should be more worried about your real girlfriend over there. She almost cried." Bai Yuchen shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the crowd below.

"!?" Chen Fan gasped. He forgot about his childhood friend. Therefore, he immediately rushed down and saved her from the crowd.

By the time he returned to the previous building’s roof, Bai Yuchen was no longer there.

"Don’t tell me you forgot about me and let me get caught up in that crowd? Ugh, what’s wrong with them? They went crazy just because of Saintess Miko’s presence." Wang Zi-Zhen grumbled in annoyance.

"The general public tends to be attracted to the humble bigshot. Luckily, Lady Miko and her protectors didn’t take decisive action because of those people’s audacity." Chen Fan looked somewhere, then flew away. He carried his childhood friend on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"You let me go! This isn’t very pleasant. Why do you always carry me like an object rather than a person?" Wang Zi-Zhen complained, but the dense boy paid her tantrum no attention.
