My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 314: Punishment and Gift

’Is this the way?’ Elena asked in wonder.

’Yes, please assist me to change his path by inflicting a curse upon his divine soul.’ Elysia pointed her finger at Feng Yang’s head.

’Understood.’ Elena glanced at the Goddesses, and they nodded. It would be best to resolve this side quest as soon as possible, and they immediately stood around the restrained sovereign.

Amidst a siege of veiled Peerless Goddesses, Feng Yang didn’t know what happened, but he was suddenly dragged into his spiritual sea realm. Everything happened so fast, too fast for his brain and spirit to process.

However, the spiritual pain was beyond real and excruciating. He soon screamed in pain in his inner spiritual world, clutching his head as he couldn’t bear it.

Never mind thinking of a way out or resistance technique. He couldn’t even do anything other than endure it.

It was only ten seconds, but Feng Yang felt like he had been tormented for ten days. When he returned to his body, absolute confusion was what he felt at that moment.

"Feng Yang, your path of repentance will replace your previous dao. You will receive the excruciating pain every night. If you do evil things, the punishment will be multiplied tenfold instantly. You should do something good or virtuous to relieve it. You may try to kill yourself, but the punishment shall go with you to the afterlife as well." Elysia turned around and walked away with her Goddesses sisters.

After saying that, Elysia released her binding technique and gestured to her people to untie the restrained Blood Moon Sovereign.

"Huh?" Mingyue didn’t know what had just happened. The punishment mentioned was a mere formality and never happened, but she knew that the Sacred Sakura Goddess was not playing around.

"You will regret your choice one day." Feng Yang still felt confused, but his ego pushed him to think about something else.

"Why should I? You should be grateful to have good descendants but never appreciate them as people. Try doing what you want, and I don’t mind granting you the true death, cutting off your path of reincarnation." Elysia walked away, not once looking back.

At that moment, Feng Yang harbored some malicious thoughts, but he was soon struck by the excruciating pain. He channeled his 10th Rank power to resist it but could only exert half his entire force.

He also just realized that his qi was not flowing through his rod, the thing that made him a man. It was still there, but it was dead and no longer usable.

"Argh!!!" Feng Yang fell to the floor, screaming in agony.

"Father, what happened to you?" Mingyue knew it. Sacred Sakura Goddess spared her father, but it won’t be as simple as letting go of the bad guy unpunished.

"You harbored malice. I warned you." Elysia stopped in her tracks, letting out a soft sigh.

"Ggrrgh..." Feng Yang failed to suppress it. He uses hundreds of ways to eliminate the pain, but it comes straight from his soul. He tried to cut a ’cursed’ part of his divine soul, but it instantly spread and was much more torturous.

As the pain became unbearable, despite his divine soul power, he ceased all evil from his mind. The ’curse’ soon influenced his spirit and mind, and his brain snapped.

The pain subsided quickly, and he became as serene as a meditating Buddha. He sat down and placed his right hand, pointing upward, onto his left hand’s palm.

He looked at his youngest daughter in this generation. Mingyue was genuinely worried about him, but he harbored some twisted thoughts when she matured and ripe.

A word then came out of his mouth. "I’m a bad father. I should do more kindness and repent to the path of justice for my repentance."

"Mingyue, escort your father back to his room. Xue, clear your name and resolve your affairs in this Blood Moon. Do what you need to do." Elysia glanced at the two Blood Moon’s princesses.

"My Goddess, the Supreme One, please allow this humble servant to serve you as your servant. Please grant me a new title... save me from the nightmare." Feng Xue remained on her knees, stating a request from her heart.

"You and your personal servants have become my people after your vow that night. Raise your head, look me in the eyes." Elysia raised her hand towards Feng Xue’s head.

"..." Feng Xue raised her head, staring into the Supreme Goddess’ purplish-blue mystic eyes. She felt bare of secrets because the gaze seemed to peer into the deepest of her soul, but it brought calm and relief to her soul.

"From now on, you are the Scarlet Moon Queen. The one that will surpass your Immortal Blood’s origin." Elysia blessed Feng Xue with a new title.

"We’re at your service." Feng Xue and her six personal servants knelt down respectfully.

"We grant you our blessing. Resolve your matters and return to Sacred Sakura this evening. For Blood Moon Pavilion, if you want to continue our alliance, you should come with good intentions and compensation. You may come with Feng Xue to our land. You may also participate in the opportunities we will open for our people and allies." Lifa also gave a little blessing to Feng Xue, then reminded all the Blood Moon’s experts around, especially the Blood Moon Sovereign.

"Understood." Feng Xue nodded in understanding.

Elysia invited the two Feng princesses to get off the spaceship. Mingyue took her father back to the Blood Moon Palace.

Feng Xue and her personal servants followed suit as they still needed to resolve some things.

The Blood Moon’s experts also rushed to escape from the area, letting Sacred Sakura’s floating warship fly away without anyone daring to block it. They could only swallow this humiliation, but Sacred Sakura wasn’t a pushover and gave them a way out.

"Our Lord truly messed with the wrong people, but how did he offend the Sacred Sakura Goddess to begin with?"

"I have no idea, but she said some of us know the truth but remain oblivious. She hinted at us to clean up the house."

"Yeah, she only punished our sovereign because he greatly offended her. But, hey... we could use Feng Xue to resolve this matter.

"That traitor?"

"Is she really a traitor? Things are not as simple as what our sovereign says."

"Well, that’s a dark matter from the history of the Feng Clan. This royal clan is among our Blood Moon’s most dangerous and terrifying. We need to be careful to resolve this matter."

"What do we need to be afraid of? Our Lord has been punished under the divine law of the Sacred Sakura Goddess. We must immediately cleanse our sacred land and repair relations with Sacred Sakura. Our Lord messed it up badly, and we risk becoming public enemies!"

"Yeah, Sacred Sakura has reminded us several times. We still can redeem ourselves regardless of our Lord’s actions."

The Blood Moon’s experts exchanged words over the suspicions and doubts in their hearts. They immediately returned to the Blood Moon Palace because there were so many things they needed to do to resolve their current crisis.

Meanwhile, ES Armageddon had just flown out of the Scarlet Domain Secret Realm. Elysia was still on the foredeck, facing everyone.

"I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. Please receive the gift of mine to replenish your strength and rejuvenate your spiritual power." Elysia expressed her gratitude and distributed a piece of energy cookie to everyone, including those waiting in their leader’s storage pouches.

"Keke, we haven’t even done anything yet. We don’t deserve your praise, my lady." Klaus rubbed his head awkwardly but still received the cookie that flew to him.

"Upholding justice is our duty. We don’t deserve your praise, Divine Goddess." A mighty warrior from the Human Alliance stepped forward. He couldn’t receive the reward because he barely did anything meaningful during the previous task.

"Take it and achieve the enlightenment to prepare for this evening’s event. The unknown, unexplored secret realm from the Divine World that we will open holds countless mysteries and dangers. You wished to encounter the divine opportunity, but you must prepare yourself at the prime condition, ready to face all the trouble." Elysia shook her head. She turned around and left the foredeck, escorted by Miko and her Goddess sisters.

"Thank you, Her Divine Grace, for generosity!" Since the Supreme Goddess had spoken so, nobody could refuse the gift given to them. Everyone expressed their gratitude.

It was a simple chocolate cookie, but everyone knew it was the divine treasure to replenish their power and rejuvenate their body.

"Nom, nom, nom..." The nearby little dragons ate the cookie with great joy.

The Sacred Sakura’s disciple felt somewhat reluctant to consume the divine cookie on the spot. Yet, their higher-ups had consumed it without hesitation.

"Eat it and meditate. You will find the answer to your question. Don’t waste this opportunity for a later date." Gabriella looked at her juniors and reminded everyone.

She ate the cookie and received a mega boom in her spiritual sea. Her dantian received a considerable torrent of spiritual energy, and she immediately sat down to meditate to refine the pure energy that entered her body.

During her meditation, she was enlightened about the truth of life and glimpsed the realm beyond mortal boundaries.

Someone took the lead, and the others soon followed suit. They had to prepare themselves in their prime condition before evening. Thus, everyone soon ate their cookie and meditated on the spot, enjoying the benefits during their enlightenment state.
