My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 204: Home Visit

"With our overwhelming powerful forces, we conquered half of the Demon Realm in just a month. We initially only came with one army of ten thousand demons. Nevertheless, our force continued to grow during our conquest--" Abraham told a little of his conquest adventure while enjoying a cup of warm tea.

He had no idea why, but he found it was fun and gave himself some satisfaction to brag in front of Sacred Sakura Holy Saintess.

She brewed extraordinarily delicious tea, and her response also could satisfy his soul. Not to mention, Saintess Miko called him grandpa!

"Woah, that’s truly wonderful, Grandpa Abraham. If all demons were as good and reasonable as you, maybe the world wouldn’t be too chaotic." Miko put her hands together.

"Hahaha, that’s not bad. The world needs a balance. I’m not saying the Ancient Night Demon is better than the other ancient demon races, but we have a noble purpose. Our Young Demon God has enlightened us a lot. Our conquest is thanks to guidance from him. This way, no demons dare challenge our sovereignty, haha!" Abraham laughed while stroking his beard.

"Hey, I’m collaborating with you because our goals are in the same direction, okay? That’s not because I surrender because of your troops. If we fight, there’s little chance of you winning against me." Klaus rolled his eyes after hearing nonsense from the bragging old demon.

"Hehe, there aren’t many demons with noble and civil character. Most of them succumbed to their demonic nature and became pure evil. Would you like another blue winter tea?" Miko finished brewing another teapot of tea.

"Good. This tea is good. Blood wine is still my favourite, but this is wonderful." Klaus put down his teacup, and he got another refill.

"..." Meiying and Mingyue were speechless. They couldn’t tell whether it was good or bad. Their friend could befriend anyone, including the great old demons.

"..." Skyla remained silent. She usually didn’t talk much, especially to strangers. However, she kept observing her surroundings, especially Saintess Miko.

Miko held so much importance as the Sacred Holy Land’s saintess. Miko also had many disciples, all beautiful and handsome... the talented seedlings.

Regardless, she feared her fiance joining Sacred Sakura because this holy land possessed a paradise and never lacked beauty.

Despite status and nature, Saintess Miko’s beauty and attractiveness were a dangerous threat. There was also the elf disciple, the veiled half-demoness disciple, and several other female disciples with peerless beauty kind of threat.

The oddity that she noticed and still bothered her was why there were so few influential experts in the area. The Young Demon God was also nowhere to be found.

"Saintess Miko, is this Sacred Mountain the fortress to the Sacred Sakura Secret Realm?" Klaus asked while looking right and left, trying to find the presence of any realm portals nearby.

"???" The question piqued Mingyue, Meiying, and Elder Lin Mei’s interest.

They were still curious about what the Sacred Sakura Secret Realm was like.

They would like to pay a visit if possible, but they should refrain from saying that to Miko directly. However, since the matter was raised by a particular vampire progenitor, they also wanted to know the answer.

"I can’t say that. We don’t need fortresses to guard our secret realms. This peak is my family home, but you can reach Heaven, the Divine World, here." Miko shook her head while occasionally looking at the tori gate in the distance.

These people were the only visitors. The others were still too engrossed in meditation along the way to the Sacred Mountain’s summit.

"!!!" The revelation made Abraham and Klaus widen their eyes in shock.

Abraham was already at the 10th Rank Peak Stage, waiting for ascension or another breakthrough to reach a realm beyond mortality. However, Klaus had ascended past that, just stuck in the unknown realm beneath immortality but still above the mortal boundary.

Nevertheless, they were very interested in anything related to the Divine World!

Just as they wanted to inquire further regarding that, Blood Moon Saintess Mingyue suddenly interrupted. "Pardon my interruption, but secret realms? Are there more than one?"

"Mm, we have more than one." Miko nodded in confirmation.

"But, I can’t-" Mingyue wanted to ask about it directly. Yet, she remembered her father’s desire and worried about whether it would ruin their friendship or not.

"You won’t be able to find any realm portal here. Unlike the other secret realms, ours is owned and guarded by our respective realm masters." Miko shook her head as she could guess what her saintess friend wanted to ask.

"!!!" This revelation surprised everyone, including Miko’s disciples.

They were fully aware of what that meant.

This world’s secret realms were a separate dimension in a particular place. Someone claimed that realm and made it their territory, their mini-world.

However, nobody could fully own it due to various reasons and limitations. Yet! The Sacred Sakura Holy Land possessed a few realm masters!

"How can you do that? Did your elders conquer some secret realms and own them or something?" Klaus asked with a solemn expression.

"Err... Maybe? But why only conquer to own it? If you are powerful enough, you can create your own world." Miko put her hands together and glanced to the side.

Miko’s response made everyone speechless. Perhaps only the Sacred Sakura Holy Saintess could say that so easily. Nevertheless, they could confirm that Sacred Sakura had many powerful God-tier existences and secret realms. Those Gods probably were currently keeping an eye on them.

"We’re here. You’d better see her before she goes to sleep again."

A distinctive, deep, and somewhat demonic voice came from the side. A person clad in full-body dark armor just arrived from the mountainside forest with three little dragons by ’his’ side.

Skyla’s eyes brightened upon finding the one she was looking for. However, she became increasingly nervous because she still didn’t know how to capture her fiance’s attention and heart.

Regardless of anything, she had to do something, as it would be her greatest loss if she let her fiance go.

"Oh ya." Abraham looked back.

"Hi, long time no see, Gerrard." Skyla greeted politely, but she couldn’t hide the smile and a slight blush on her face.

"Mhm... you visited Sacred Sakura sooner than expected." Sylvia replied with a slight nod.

She had just returned to pick up the little dragons from their guard posts, and these guests had already arrived at the summit.

"Yeah, that’s because of Saintess Miko. We have expressed our regards and wishes for her speedy recovery. We also gave her some gifts and medicines as they might be useful."

"You are so considerate."

"How have you been recently? May I know about your marvelous feat recently?"

"Is that your pickup line? You keep blushing like a little lovebird."

"I want to know more about you if you let me."

"Then, don’t ask me. Discover it by yourself."

"Then, please pardon me."

"Why are you following me?"

"That’s because you asked me to discover more about you by myself?"

Skyla initiated a conversation with the intention of re-approaching her fiance to repair their relationship. She knew her fiance had no interest in her yet, but she had to ensure it wouldn’t stay like that forever. As for her, her fiance was all that filled her mind recently, even in her sleep.

On the other hand, Sylvia felt a bit troubled. She had to take the two little dragons to meet Elysia because they still hadn’t met their master or given her a greeting.

However, this little lovestruck demoness wished to follow her into the shrine abode. Therefore, she looked at Miko and the others to seek some help.

"Dear guests and friends, how about we briefly tour the shrine?" Miko put her hands together as she received a brilliant idea.

She led the way and invited her friends and guests to the shrine abode. Her disciples followed suit, but she asked some people to stay around the pavilion in case other visitors would come while they were inside.

"Well then." Sylvia heaved a subtle sigh. It wasn’t help she asked for, but she knew Miko had a plan in mind.

"Wonderful. The respected saintess’ abode. It makes me feel curious." Klaus rubbed his hands together, eager to discover the truth behind the gate.

He couldn’t peer deeper despite his power, which made him feel amazed and curious.

"Woah, it’s a home visit~ I’m excited. If you have free time in the future, please visit my residence, Miko." Mingyue put her fingers together, feeling very excited.

"With pleasure~" Miko was glad to hear it. She led everyone to the shrine abode.

However, Mingyue suddenly remembered her father’s hidden agenda for Saintess Miko and the Sacred Sakura Holy Land.

"I will put my life on the line if he wants to harm you..." Mingyue muttered under her breath. Luckily, no one could hear her murmur other than her firebird. Thus, she breathed a sigh of relief.
