My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 167: Cooperation to Eliminate the Common Threat

The small talk was over, and they returned to the crucial topic.

An army of undead and demonic golems has taken over the southeastern coastal region. Brave warriors from the Breacasian Empire were dispatched to the southeast to stop the demon invasion. However, the Heavenly Demon Inheritor’s whereabouts were still unknown.

"Hmm, even though the Human Alliance is there, I think they still underestimated the enemy. The red demon incident is concrete proof of their laziness and stupidity. They only sent a bunch of cannon fodder and weakling..." Feng Xue received the latest report. She frowned as she read that.

"..." Ely heaved a subtle sigh. She had yet to learn why those human organizations, sects, and clans were always slow in solving problems.

She also didn’t expect the situation was already widespread and worse than she thought.

Everything would be fantastic if the Human Alliance squashed the problem with an overwhelming force. Unfortunately, the influential experts at the 9th Rank and above, also known as the lofty ones, would not go to the forefront unless the matter had become too severe for the subordinates to handle.

The great war on the Human Realm’s border against the demon army was the proof. Because the matter was huge, many 9th Rank experts participated there.

However, she didn’t remember any 10th Rank experts from the Human Alliance were at the forefront. Some Deities might be watching from the backline or didn’t even care about worldly affairs.

"Sorry for the interruption." Meiying knocked on the door and entered the room.

She came with two great elders, and the remaining Frozen Cloud experts were waiting outside.

"Thank you for coming, Meiying and esteemed elders. Please have a seat. We are currently discussing about the Heavenly Demon Inheritor, the God-tier threat that is ravaging the southeastern coastal region." Ely invited the newly arrived friends to sit down.

They did a little briefing before their departure to the battlefield. Ely served as the spokesperson, and everyone listened carefully.

"We understand the urgency. This is indeed critical, and we should stop the threat before this variable gets out of control like the red demon incident."

"The red demon’s case is completely the Human Alliance’s fault. It’s the Great Yan Empire, their territory, and yet, they belittled the matter."

"Many casualties. However, they only have themselves to blame. Fortunately, Sacred Sakura sent several experts to annihilate the red demon for good."

"But, this one is Heavenly Demon, the Demon God’s inheritor. It is only a matter of time before this entity becomes a Demon God."

"We have received the report. This Heavenly Demon God Inheritor is extraordinarily vicious. She was a human, but she is a savage demon now, the killing machine."

"She slaughtered her entire family, surrounding villages, and nearby towns to strengthen her power. She turned the corpses into her super undead army and created many demonic golems as her minions."

"The Breacasian Empire is currently requesting reinforcements from the Human Alliance. They have already sent more than one regiment of elites to the southern coastal region. However, it will take some time for them to arrive at the incident site."

The elders and great elders from Blood Moon Pavilion and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace conferred briefly right after Saintess Miko finished speaking. What Saintess Miko said was proven true. The threat continued to spread destruction and carnage as they spoke.

"We have no time to spare. We need to leave now and join Sacred Sakura’s force." Feng Xue stood up with a determined gaze.

She understood Saintess Miko and Sacred Sakura could handle everything by themselves. Yet, she also knew that Sacred Sakura wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for friendly cooperation to eliminate the common enemy.

"Mm, let’s depart now." Ely nodded in satisfaction. She left the room, and everyone soon followed suit.

Fourteen troops with more than a hundred warriors each were already on standby outside. A thousand experts wore blood-red armor. The rest wore bluish-white robes typical of winter.

"Mingyue, Meiying, this is for you. Please keep it because you will need it for our gathering event in the future." Ely handed over a blue crystal to her saintess friends.

"This is an instant teleportation crystal? Even though it’s disposable, it’s incredibly rare... Thank you." Mingyue replied in a whisper-like voice, but she looked at the crystal in amazement.

She was the Blood Moon’s princess, but it was her first time seeing the real portable teleportation crystal.

"Mm, thank you. It’s such a pure and flawless teleportation crystal..." Meiying looked at the crystal with a complicated look. It was like a precious jewel, but she knew it would crumble to dust after she used it.

"Yes. It’s one time use only, but you can go almost anywhere with it as long as you know the exact destination." Ely replied with a subtle nod.

"It’s a gift for everyone? Then, is there one for me?" Feng Xue pointed at her face.

"Uhm, then please accept our blue winter milk tea. You will love it." Ely handed over a pack of the newest variety of blue tea, considering Mingyue’s eldest sister would hold a little tea party later.

"Oh my, thank you~" Feng Xue gladly received it.

"You are the senior, yet you are asking for a gift from the junior. It should be the other way around, Lady Feng Xue." Evelyn heaved a sigh.

"Well, that makes sense. I haven’t given my first meeting gift to Mingyue’s friends. Here, please accept it." Feng Xue gave her little sister and the two saintess friends a gift.

"I got it too?" Mingyue looked at her eldest sister with astonishment.

"Why not?" Feng Xue smiled faintly.

"..." Ely and Meiying exchanged glances, then looked at the red squishy thing in their hands.

Ely inspected it once and gave it a little squeeze. It was like a tiny doll shaped like an overcooked red octopus, but a hidden magic inscription was embedded inside.

"Consider it as your little doll pet. It will do whatever you tell it to do." Feng Xue put her hands together.

"A blood doll... Alright, I’ll take it. But, there’s no spy and tracker mechanism here, right? I don’t want you to peek and monitor me anymore." Mingyue received the gift, but past experiences were still bothering her.

"Hehe, no. I won’t do what my dearest sister doesn’t like." Feng Xue waved her hands.

Ely and Meiying then expressed their gratitude for the gift.

"..." Several masked warriors looked at each other somewhat awkwardly.

They were Feng Mingyue and Feng Xue’s siblings. Still, they received a secret mission to participate in the cooperation battle against the common enemy. They were also assigned to protect their youngest sister from harm, but they could barely get close to her because she was in the sisterhood world.

Like the brotherhood world where no sisters or women were allowed to participate, the sisterhood world wouldn’t allow any males around them during their activities. Therefore, they could only watch from a safe distance.

"All brave heroes. A young Heavenly Demon has appeared near our territory. That vicious demon is currently slaughtering innocent people just because that thing wants to feast on their flesh and blood! We, the Blood Moon Pavilion, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, and Sacred Sakura Holy Land shall form a combined army to eliminate the enemy. It’s only one troublesome demon, but that thing has summoned an army of undead and demonic golems. We shall eliminate them for the world’s good!"

"O-oh!"

"Erase the demon from our territory!"

"We have three armies from the three major holy lands. The Heavenly Demon shall meet its demise for sure!"

"We shall return in triumph! It’s the cooperation between three holy lands."

"Eliminate the evil for the world’s cause!"

Feng Xue started her war speech, and the Blood Moon’s experts replied with their warcry.

But, the people from Frozen Cloud only responded moderately. There was no need to reply with a loud cry like the blood-red armored troops.

"Our comrades from Sacred Sakura are already on the battlefield as we speak now. Prepare your weapon, and we shall depart now!"

Feng Xue raised her sword, and everyone responded with the same gesture.

More than fourteen hundred people then flew eastward towards the southeastern coastal region.

Ely’s group of three rode on Mingyue’s mount. It was a giant firebird.

"This fire-like feather is smooth. Its tail is also long and looks like peacock tail... Your mount is a firebird, but where is its fire?" Ely stroked Mingyue’s firebird with her finger.

"She is Yu’er. She can spit fire like a dragon but won’t smolder in fire unless it’s a fight." Mingyue whistled softly, and her mount answered her with a bird squawk.

"It’s wonderful mount." Ely then stroked the fire-like feathers again, but the firebird trembled a little for some reason. She stopped doing that because she didn’t want this firebird to fall when they were so high up in the sky.

"..." Meiying stared silently at her friends at the forefront.

She also wanted to chat with them but couldn’t join them because Mingyue’s firebird could only accommodate four people. Therefore, she had to fly with her ice lotus artifact with her two great elders.
