My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 416: Cover the Revival Debts

Myra took a pleasant and comfortable rest in her recovery chamber.

The next day, she woke up fresh and fit, ready to face whatever challenges she might encounter that day.

"Holy Saint and Holy Saintess haven’t returned yet?" Myra checked her golden plaque, but only her team returned.

Therefore, she tried to contact them and received a response a moment later. They were still on a mission and would return in two or three days.

Since the other teams weren’t in significant danger, thanks to Sacred Sakura’s anti-evil magic items, Myra sighed in relief, putting aside her intention to send reinforcements.

"I guess, I need to revisit Sacred Mountain to restock anti-evil magic items and exchange some good merit points." Myra considered her next activity.

Elysion Chruch was different from the others who joined the auspices of Sacred Sakura for benefits. As part of Sacred Sakura’s inner circle, who served the Supreme Goddess, Elysion Chruch held special privileges on Sacred Mountain.

It had been a while since her last visit, and she was excited to pay her respect to the Supreme Goddess at Sacred Mountain’s shrine.

Myra prepared for her departure, wearing her trademark holy knight armor. Just as she was about to go to the crossing-world teleportation array behind the cathedral, she recalled yesterday’s offender.

"I almost forgot. That person and that strange furry animal are still imprisoned underground." Myra put her hand to her forehead and turned around.

Several tens of meters below the ground, Yang Jian was still grumbling non-stop while trying to free himself from the sea stone chain shackles that bound him.

His cultivation was sealed, and he was starving, but he could do nothing because nobody came, no matter how loud he shouted his lungs out.

"Why am I receiving this kind of treatment? I am the Son of Heaven. Once I succeed in awakening Priestess Miko’s memories, I will make sure they will be punished severely, especially that holy knight lady. Just wait. I will make you submit as my servant one day." Yang Jian muttered under his breath.

*Clank* *Clank*

The sound of metal clashing could be heard from afar, and the sound of footsteps soon could be heard approaching.

Myra came with four holy knights to visit the offender in the dungeon. The facility was primarily empty because almost no one dared to offend the Elysion Church. So, yesterday’s offender was the only prisoner there.

"You finally have a conscience. Did you come on the orders of the Holy Priestess Miko?" Yang Jian looked up and smirked.

"We didn’t have time to interrogate you yesterday. So, we are here to inquire about you. Tell me, why do you want to see Holy Priestess Miko? Who are you?" Myra stood tall before the prison, placing her hand on her sword’s hilt.

"I already said my name, didn’t I? My name is Yang Jian. Tell her my name and this... The dusk has passed. Allow the night to redeem the past. She would come to see me." Yang Jian smirked.

"..." Myra crossed her arms and tapped her chin, deep in thought.

She tried to measure this rogue cultivator and felt he was no one special. Even so, she also felt a faint sense of reminder. This person might not be an ordinary person. He might be here to bring important news to Holy Priestess Miko.

Regardless of anything, it didn’t rule out the possible threats. She had to discover the truth, and the Sacred Mountain was the best place for it.

Myra considered several things and raised her hand. "Release him."

The other holy knights opened the prison cells and freed the prisoners.

Yang Jian and his pet were released from the shackles, but their cultivation was still sealed.

"Yang Jian, alright? You can only blame yourself for yesterday’s incident. I will take you to the executives. Don’t do anything suspicious if you don’t want to get hurt." Myra gave a stern warning.

"Haha, I know you are so sensible. Didn’t you see I came in peace? Blame those young guards for picking up on me for no reason. Don’t make me meet them, or I might beat them up into pulp." Yang Jian brushed off the dust from his robe.

"Follow me." Myra turned around.

"Hey, may I know your good name, lady holy knight?" Yang Jian quickened his footsteps, walking next to the beautiful Deity-level holy knight.

"You know if you know. You don’t need to know if you don’t know." Myra replied nonchalantly.

"Well, what’s with this cold shoulder treatment? Anyway, where is Holy Priestess Miko? I took a great distance and had countless difficulties meeting her." Yang Jian recalled the hardships that he went through for weeks.

He was lucky to encounter a ’path’ to the Chthonic World. After catching the news about the Holy Priestess coming from the Elysion Church in the Chthonic World, he spared no effort to visit her domain with a new identity and impression to redeem his previous shabby first meeting.

"Where do you come from again?" Myra knew it. Her guess was most likely correct. This rogue cultivator came for a secret purpose that might be important.

"Oh, me? You haven’t answered my question, but okay... I come from a particular region in Terra World’s Human Realm. I crossed the world just for her, you know. I’ll overlook the treatment I get here to honor her, but I cannot tolerate the next offense." Yang Jian snorted subtly.

"I don’t know if you’re misinformed, stupid, or what." Myra squinted her eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Jian frowned.

"Don’t you know the Holy Priestess Miko is at her sacred shrine in the Terra World? That’s an open secret. The Divine Goddess is her mother. I initially thought you were an old acquaintance. However, it seems my guess wasn’t completely accurate. You’re still suspicious. Handcuff him." Myra crossed her arms.

"Wait, what!?" Yang Jian was super shocked, but he was soon handcuffed, and so was his pet.

It truly surprised him because fate was so unfair. He was the Son of Heaven, but he was reincarnated as a peasant child from a nameless village. However, the Daughter of Heaven was reincarnated as a holy priestess and also the daughter of a Divine Goddess?!

He had to endure so much hardship for some opportunities, but she could receive them all without effort!

"Wait, why did you handcuff me again? You should unseal me and treat me with respect!" Yang Jian complained, but he was soon taken away like a prisoner.

These holy knights would never have the courage to attack him if they knew who he really was, but he couldn’t reveal his real identity just like that again. Therefore, he could do nothing about it because his opponents were a Deity and several Demi-Gods...

"Please pardon our sudden precautions. You are a suspicious person. We shall discover the truth at Sacred Mountain." Myra led the group to the crossing-world teleportation array.

As the Son of Heaven received the prisoner treatment again, the Daughter of Heaven was still too busy with the extermination mission being carried out by the high-level mages of the Sanguine Occult.

"Planet Befall." Lucius manifested a humongous boulder in the sky with his earth elemental magic.

He swung his hand down, making the boulder fall like a meteor with a force multiplied by magic and gravity.

*Boom!*

The mid-class demons were crushed into dust. Lucius immediately took refuge in the anti-evil magical field to purify the incoming evil energy.

"Pfft, ahaha... what Planet Befall. It’s just a boulder that’s not even bigger than a hut." Zhuan Mei couldn’t help but laugh in amusement.

"..." Lucius felt offended by that remark. His veins popped out, but he said nothing and left.

"Hey, sorry for laughing at your technique. I didn’t mean to mock you. Why do you get offended so easily lately?" Zhuan Mei hurried after Lucius.

"It will be a True Planet Befall someday. A technique capable of destroying the world." Lucius pursed his lips, feeling dissatisfied.

"Oow, don’t say it like that. You sound like a possible villain." Zhuan Mei laughed lightly and patted Lucius on the back.

"..." Lucius felt slightly annoyed but couldn’t be angry with this jolly-molly girl. She would never know that he cultivated his Planet Befall technique years ago to destroy that hateful world, but his goals had changed.

"Cataclysm." Alicia murmured from the sky. She and the other 1st generation witches combined their power to summon a divine class technique.

A waterfall of white fire descended from the sky, dousing the gigantic heavenly demon, inflicting a high level of damage.

*Rumble!*

The earth was shaken, and the world soon returned to peace. The demons in the surrounding area had been dealt with, and the primary target was exterminated.

After dealing with the evil energy, Alicia looked around and found her fellow mages were quite exhausted. Their magical energy was depleted, leaving less than 25% remaining.

"We slayed two big evils. Good job, everyone. But, that’s enough for today. Let’s return to Sacred Sakura." Alicia announced her decision.

"Phew, finally~ Let’s leave the other matter for the other alliance members to handle. The United Human Alliance shouldn’t be too bad either, right?" Ruri wiped her sweat.

"We’ve secured a good amount of loot. Plus bounty quests, our distributed merit points can pay off the two witches’ debt to Sakura." One of the witch elders reported today’s gains to everyone.

"Hum, our focus is to cover their debts first. However, some materials cannot be exchanged using merit points. Let’s try to find them on our way back." Ruri crossed her arms.

"Hum." Alicia nodded in agreement.

She and other elders agreed to distribute half of the team’s earnings to help pay off the witches’ revival debt. Covering everyone would take a while, but they could achieve it together.

"What kind of power is that? But, are you going to visit Sacred Sakura? But, why say it as if it’s the place you’re returning to?" Zhao Yuqi muttered questioningly, but she was still amazed at the previous combined technique between seven 10th Rank experts.

"Isn’t that obvious? We serve the Supreme Goddess under Sacred Sakura’s rule. Our base is near Sacred Sakura’s domain. That is also our home." Ruri rolled her eyes.

A few moments later, Alicia announced the conclusion, and they flew back to the Sacred Sakura Holy Land, riding a big cloud. Zhao Yuqi and Zhuan Mei also joined as guests.
