My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 361: Do a Favor

"Father, your daughter is here..." Mytic approached the purple coffin.

She used her secret technique to awaken her father’s spirit. A few moments later, a spiritual wisp emerged from the coffin, forming a floating ghost.

"That’s you, Miti. How long has that been?" The ghost muttered softly, half-conscious and filled with confusion.

"It has been twenty years since my last visit. Please forgive me for failing to find a solution to cure you, father. However! I brought the divine healer who can lift any curse and eliminate any sickness!" Mytic apologizes for treating her guilty conscience, but she announces the aftermath with excitement.

She then introduced the divine healer, the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin, to her father.

"..." Mytic’s father observed the veiled lady clad in the black dress, Agent White, and the young girl behind them.

He could recognize Agent White easily because he met her several times in the past. As the young girl, she possessed the sacred moon constitution typical of the Heavenly Moon, perhaps she was the Heavenly Moon Saintess.

As for the one his daughter introduced, she was a mysterious lady, unmeasurable by anything.

He might consider this lady the random rogue immortal if his daughter didn’t say it. However, his daughter referred to this veiled lady in black as the divine healer, the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin... Supreme Goddess!?

"Hmm..." Megami checked the spirit’s status. His name was Magnus, the 16th Rank Immortal.

When she noticed Marcus was surprised by something, she smiled behind her veil and spoke softly. "Pleased to meet you, Sir Magnus. You don’t look good in that coffin."

"It’s truly my honour to be graced by your presence. Yes, my situation is not that great. I’m barely alive, preserving the last wisp of my existence." Magnus bowed respectfully, but his entire being felt scared because the lady before him could effortlessly peer at Heaven’s secrets.

The world only knew his title as the Fifth Mystic Stellar Ancestor, or Marcus for the close ones. He knew his daughter would never reveal his true name, let alone hers. The Heavenly Palace kept all Heavenly Channel’s members’ true names secret, including their family members. But, his true name was already known to the other party.

"Xuan’er, is that coffin similar to yours?" Megami looked aside.

"No, master. The mystic purple coffin can slow down the curse, preserve one’s life, and auto-heal. As for my crystal moon coffin... it just slows down time, almost to the point of time stopping." Zi Xuan observed the coffin more closely and came up with a conclusion.

"I see..." Megami nodded in understanding.

"My lady, please save my father. I will do anything for you. Please tell me what you need, and I will fulfil it unconditionally." Mytic put her hand to her chest, stating her request with a sincere plea.

"Miti." Megami called out with the nickname mentioned by Mytic’s father.

"Y-yes?" Mytic responded spontaneously, clueless about why Goddess Ely suddenly called her other nickname.

"Miti can be interpreted as an honest friend. As for Mytic, you showed yourself as a mystery. That’s good. I will lift your father’s curse and stabilize the chaotic energy in his body for free. However, I need many materials and elixirs to heal him." Megami used Elysia’s tone as the professional merchant before a deal.

"T-thank you. Yes, please tell me whatever you need. My family and Mystic Stellar will spare no effort to fulfil everything." Mytic clasped her hands with a beaming expression.

"Sir, please return to your body and prepare yourself in five minutes." Megami raised five fingers.

"Alright. My family and Mystic Stellar will owe you a huge favour if you can heal me." Magnus still couldn’t believe the one before him was an entity at the peak of the divinity level, but he followed her instructions without question.

"..." Mytic felt a bit dissatisfied because her father’s tone suddenly sounded a bit impolite. It was as if he underestimated Goddess Ely and didn’t trust her.

’Instead of your favour, it would be better if you gave me a lot of divine treasures and heavenly herbs. Mama will be happy with that.’ Megami clasped her hands and closed her eyes, asking her mama’s help a little.

’Alright, I’ve granted you the greater purify ability, Megami. You can easily lift the curse and refine it.’ Elysia granted Megami a divine blessing.

’Thank you, mama. I’ll check out the Nirvana Seal in four hours. Please stay tuned to monitor me. I foresaw the unexpected danger.’ Megami took a deep breath, remembering the divination she saw last night.

Despite He-Dao’s presence and other Heavenly Channel members, she was busy inspecting the realm behind the Nirvana Seal. Yet, someone from the unknown void attacked her.

’Alright. Someone is bold enough to attack us in He-Dao’s presence... This enemy is so confident, hmm.’ Elysia put some preparations in mind.

’I’ll be careful, but I need you for the unexpected, mama. It’s like the Nirvana Seal is planning something for us.’ Megami felt relieved.

’Alright. Thank you for the reminder, Megami. Prepare carefully and hint them about the unexpected ambush. I won’t let anyone harm you.’ Elysia placed an advanced defence blessing on Megami.

She would also check on Megami periodically. Remembering Megami was once gravely injured during their first clash against the mutated Ruvoid God, and she didn’t want Megami to suffer like that again.

’Understood.’ Megami then closed the private communication line and opened her eyes.

After five minutes had passed, she asked Mytic and Yuna to open the mystic purple coffin’s lid.

The middle-aged man lying inside was the same as the spirit just now, but this man exuded a thick curse aura. His contaminated veins were clearly visible on his skin, his body was almost dry, and it looked like a preserved corpse. However, he was still alive, even though his aura of life was so weak.

Megami used her eye ability to peer deeper into Magnus’ soul before using her purifying magic and refinement technique.

The thick Heavenly Curse was drawn out as a viscous liquid, burned in the white flames of purification. Megami started the extraction process, secretly burning the curse and absorbing the pure energy.

What others saw was an otherwordly divine spectacle where the Heavenly Curse and other malevolent energies were burned by the Supreme Goddess like a mere insignificant substance.

It only took Megami five minutes to complete the entire process. Magnus no longer suffered from the Heavenly Curse but was still barely alive.

Even so, his vulnerable body suddenly moved. His fingers twitched slightly, and his eyes opened slightly. He looked aside and spoke despite having difficulty moving his mouth. "What a miracle. Thank you, my lady."

"Don’t force yourself. Please rest. Mytic will prepare the materials to heal you." Megami stretched out her hand to scan Magnus’ body once again. She took a few steps back once she had ensured he was in stable condition.

She summoned a scroll and started writing the materials Mytic needed to prepare.

"Father, I will handle the rest." Mytic whispered to her father.

"Hum." Magnus went to a peaceful rest, no longer suffering from the curse that had tormented him for hundreds of years.

"Goddess Ely, the Mystic Stellar Sacred Ground is eternally grateful for your help." Mytic bowed gratefully.

"I’m helping you not for Mystic Stellar’s sake but because of you. The current Mystic Stellar patriarch might disagree with this situation. Have you discussed it with him?" Megami shook her head.

"We’ll handle it. The current patriarch won’t look for trouble with us." Mytic felt flattered.

"Then, it’s good. This is the list. Prepare everything in three hours. Can you do it?" Megami handed over the scroll to Mytic.

"Three, three hours? Yes, yes, I will do my best. Please wait a moment." After saying that, Mytic hurried away to order her personal servants for various tasks.

She issued the highest order of what her authority could do to obtain all the materials on the list.

A few minutes later, she returned to her secret chamber to invite her honourable guests to breakfast. At the same time, they waited for the materials to be delivered to them.

---

The Mystic Stellar Saintess’ orders caused several big moves, and they couldn’t escape the current Mystic Stellar patriarch’s notice.

"What is she trying to do? The guests from Heavenly Palace... what do they want in my Mystic Stellar Sacred Ground?" Mystic Stellar patriarch wondered. He considered something before deciding to visit the saintess and questioned everything personally.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the saintess’ abode, several personal servants blocked him because the saintess was accompanying the distinguished guests and wanted to avoid being disturbed by anyone.

That only infuriated the patriarch more. "Not only did you come back unreported, but you now want to anger me, Mytic? Move aside. There’s no place in Mystic Stellar that I can’t visit."

"Patriarch..." One of the servants tried to stop the patriarch. Yet, the patriarch pressured all the servants with his aura, preventing them from doing anything.

The patriarch opened the door and looked for Saintess Mytic.

"Why have you come with such anger, patriarch? How have I offended you?" Mytic walked over to face the angry patriarch.

"You need to explain everything to me."

"Please pardon me, patriarch. However, everything is still under my authority and privilege. Is it necessary for you personally to question my actions?"

"If your action was trivial, I wouldn’t have bothered coming here. You brought several guests, and yet you never greeted me. Is that good manners, Saintess Mytic?" The patriarch grasped his hands behind his back and went towards the garden pavilion as he knew the guests were there.
