My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 163: Arrived on the Same Day

[Someone gained the Heavenly Demon Legacy and awakened as a new Heavenly Demon. Kill her before she reach godhood][Reward: All stats +12% | Heavenly Demonic Arts | Heavenly Demon God’s fragment core]

[A Heavenly Rebel managed to return through a mysterious void. Opt 1: Kill her | Opt 2: Conquer her][Reward: Countless heavenly treasures and resources depending on the attainment]

[Two Immortal entities in the top 50 rank Heaven List barged down to the lower realm through an unknown space tunnel. Help them and send them back to the upper realm][Reward: Mysterious heavenly gifts]

[The Son of Heaven and the Daughter of Heaven regained their past life memories. Help and assist them][Reward: Heavenly favors]

Ely held her forehead as she suddenly felt a little dizzy. She checked her quest page daily, and the world was still peaceful.

However, several God-tier entities suddenly came to cause trouble in the lower realm today. She already expected this situation... but! It wasn’t just one or two, but six at once!

Even though some were probably not evil, they were still calamity-level entities that shouldn’t be in the lower realms. She had to be careful with her plans.

’Wait, these mind-blowing missions weren’t sent specifically by the Constellation of Fate or other Agents. So, there isn’t any urgency, or these God-tier entities haven’t arrived at the Terra World yet.’ Ely guessed it based on her understanding.

Unfortunately, she got no details regarding when and where they would appear. They might not be in the Tearobis Great Continent. The worlds on Quadtria Planet were not just one, and the Terra World wasn’t the only world in the lower realm. They might choose to descend on the Chthonic World or the Caelum World...

Nevertheless, Ely wasn’t too worried about failing to find them. She would only handle what came to her. If she didn’t encounter them, then that was not her problem either.

The only mission she had to handle as soon as possible was the Heavenly Demon Inheritor and then the Heavenly Rebel. The former was a priority, and the latter was secondary.

She had to strike the enemy when the target least expected it. The inheritor had just attained the Heavenly Demon Legacy. It would be a big problem if the threats got time to ascend.

’Strike the inheritor while she is still weak. Yes, we must immediately find her. The rewards are so good. We need to hunt her down for the world’s cause too!’ Ely checked the other missions on the quest list, but she could ignore them for now. She could also complete several missions while hunting the priority target.

[Recruit Zi Xuan as your priestess][Reward: The Immortal Saintess of the Moon Palace becomes your priestess]

"Hmm?" Ely accidentally caught a mission related to someone nearby while skimming the quest list.

She glanced at the nearby long-haired, pastel-coloured ghost girl. The mission was pretty reasonable. If she recruited Zi Xuan, this Immortal Saintess would become her people...

"Err... why are you suddenly looking at me with that complicated look?" Zi Xuan felt somewhat uneasy.

"Did something happen, Ely?" Yuuki was concerned. She could tell something terrible had happened based on the change in Ely’s expression just now.

"Yes. Do you remember what I said two weeks ago regarding the future trouble?" Ely closed her grimoire and put it back into her subspace. She looked at everyone, especially her disciples.

"Mm, that is your oracle, master."

"Another Evil Demon God will descend to this world."

"We have carried out various preparations at your command."

"We are ready to face another God-tier enemy."

"But, we haven’t detected any major turbulence yet. So, will the Evil Demon God descend in a few days, master?"

The disciples replied with a determined and well-prepared expression.

"They may have arrived at the lower realm without anyone noticing." Ely shook her head.

"They’ve arrived in this world? Then, we need to find them soon!" Sylvia clenched her fist in excitement.

She had played enough in the Demon Realm yesterday. Yet, she wanted to fight a God-tier enemy with a violent impulse and murderous intent to hone her new demonic arts.

"Ugh, them? It’s not just one?" Evelyn gulped her saliva.

"Yes, that’s more than five Gods and Immortals all at once. Not all of them are evil. But, the Heavenly Demon Inheritor just awakened." Ely looked up at the sky with a distant gaze.

"!?" Everyone was surprised, but Ely had predicted it two weeks ago. They were already well-prepared.

Since their master had spoken, all disciples immediately got ready to go to their respective outposts and look for any information regarding the Heavenly Demon Inheritor.

In one of the rooms in the disciple’s dormitory, Bai Yuchen was lying on a bed, deep in his meditation recovery. While exploring the last ruins, he was careless and badly injured.

Last night, he received advanced medical treatment from the best available physician, Saintess Miko. However, he was still wrapped in bandages all over his body to resemble a mummy.

He couldn’t secure the Sacred Sakura’s monthly sacred ritual like the other disciples.

Some noises from outside made him feel somewhat uneasy. For some reason, he felt the other disciples were rushing and preparing to carry out something urgent.

"What’s going on?" Bai Yuchen got up from the bed. He winced in pain because he felt the pain and aches but could still endure it.

He couldn’t remain calm and rest with peace of mind when something urgent happened at his new home.

His condition wasn’t that terrible, thanks to Saintess Miko’s treatment. But she didn’t completely heal him because she wanted him to learn his lesson. She also asked him to rest and recuperate for the whole day.

The lesson was learned, and he shouldn’t be reckless and arrogant in the face of danger just because he wielded a God-tier spear.

That underground unexplored ruins were dangerous even for him and his seniors. He was the only one injured in that mission, and everyone decided to retreat because of him.

Bai Yuchen opened his bedroom door and raised his hand to stop a passing disciple. "Excuse me, bro. What’s going on? Everyone seems to be in a rush to carry out something urgent."

"Oh, it’s you, new kid. You returned badly injured last night and need to fully rest in your room. Just focus on your recovery first. You can still join us later." The nearby disciple waved his hand and hurried away.

"Hey, wait. I haven’t finished talking-" Bai Yuchen raised his hand, but that senior brother had already descended the stairs.

A few seconds later, Uriel landed on the balcony and entered through the sliding door. She looked sideways and noticed a particular mummy standing in the middle of the corridor. "Why are you there, junior brother? Master asked you to take a full rest, yes?"

"Err... how can I rest to recover when everyone looks agitated? What exactly is going on, senior sister?" Bai Yuchen rubbed his head with an awkward laugh, but he asked his question solemnly.

"Our master foresaw some God-level foes will descend upon the mortal world again, and they have been detected by our master. We are preparing to go to our outposts to collect some information." Uriel shook her head.

"What!?" Bai Yuchen gaped in surprise.

"Since you can stand up and move, we won’t let you stay behind. Everyone will move to prevent the calamity. Master asked me to give this healing potion to you. Be ready in ten minutes. Some of us have already left." Uriel shoved a green potion into Bai Yuchen’s hand. She then turned around and flew away through the balcony.

"This is not good. I haven’t even met Lady Kitsune, but everyone has already left to prevent the calamity. Is it possible the mentioned enemies are the Demon God that Saintess Miko injured last month? Did he come with his Demon God comrades for revenge? This isn’t good! I need to recover quickly and protect her from those big villains!"

Bai Yuchen slapped his forehead as he speculated everything with the most reasonable reason.

Everything became clear, and he got terrified because he knew Saintess Miko would be in danger. However, Sacred Sakura declared war on those Demon Gods. He had to participate for whatever reason!

Therefore, he immediately gulped down the healing potion and returned to his room.

The healing potion took effect almost instantly. The aches and pains vanished. He became as fresh as new and returned to his prime condition.

"Hehe. My new outfit." Bai Yuchen grabbed his new set of clothing with sparkling eyes. He received it last night and would wear it for his first official mission.

It was high-quality clothing with layers of white as the base, a black accent, and a hint of purple. The cool-looking flower-like pattern and embroidery decorated that outfit.

He stripped off his bandages and put on his new outfit. It was just how he wore his previous daoist robe, which was why he was familiar with it.

After that, he rushed out of the dormitory. He went straight to Saintess Miko.
