My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 429: Comfort of Protection

Elysia felt somewhat dissatisfied with He-Dao’s response to Agent White Yuna. She tried to create several opportunities to make Yuna more proactive as Yuna also requested her help, but He-Dao never saw Yuna as a woman. It was more like a co-worker, subordinate, or maybe a daughter!

"I’m sorry, my lord." Yuna apologized because she tripped and fell into her lord’s arms.

"Hum, be careful next time." He-Dao felt it was a bit rare for Yuna to be somewhat careless, but it still might happen. The only problem here, his Heavenly Agent was doing something absurd with the Supreme Goddess’ help!

Yuna looked up and found her lord’s expression remained serene. She returned to her feet, feeling a bit embarrassed herself.

In the last few hours, Goddess Ely created many opportunities to make her get close to her lord. She dared herself to be more proactive. Unfortunately, her lord never reciprocated her feelings, and sometimes, it was like one-sided, unrequited love.

"My lord, have you never felt anything about us?" Yuna mustered her courage to ask.

"I am aware of the little scheme you are planning with Goddess Ely, but please stop it. You are not like yourself. You, my Heavenly Agents are special to me because it is you, not anyone else. Tell me directly if you need anything." He-Dao sighed and glanced at Goddess Ely in the distance.

"..." Yuna fell silent, feeling a mixture of joy and disappointment. She was happy because she was special to her lord, but it was only that.

"You truly... Can you reciprocate a little of their sentiment and give them more attention? They are devoted to you for so long, and it’s not just loyalty that grows between you." Elysia facepalmed, speaking via voice transmission.

"..." He-Dao went silent as he finally understood what had happened. His heavenly Agents received Goddess Ely’s help to gain his favor and recognition for something.

He was aware of his Heavenly Agents’ sentiments, but he often avoided them and didn’t dare to show more than necessary attention. Despite his God Emperor power and Heavenly Principle’s Divinity, deep down, he was aware that he was a coward who was forced by the situation in the name of responsibility.

It had been more than two weeks, and he still hadn’t even dared to listen to Nirvana’s last words.

If it weren’t for Goddess Ely’s assistance in dealing with the Corrupted Nirvana Realm issue, he might already considered the most extreme and desperate measure to dispose of the Nirvana Realm from the Heavenly Realm.

Without a way to overcome the Heavenly Curse, it would only lead to another losing war and desperate battles that destroy the heavens.

His death was certain if he had to fight against the big evil sealed in Nirvana Realm. However, Goddess Ely came as hope, the source of his courage to turn his desperate plan into something that could save the Divine World.

"Please consider them more. Don’t wait until you realize how important they are when you lose them. Not again." Elysia turned around and left the area with her Goddess sisters.

"Luna and her team have returned. They brought representatives from that sealed secret realm." Elena sensed Luna’s team had just entered the Sacred Mountain’s area.

"Let’s welcome them." Elysia nodded in reply, aware that the tragedy that occurred in that secret realm was terrible and caused her fluffy friends to be a little traumatized. They would need some comfort and therapy.

Sure enough, Yuuki and Luna were the first to return as adorable little fluffy friends who craved some comfort. Vanessa and Lynn also followed suit, but Yusagi still behaved properly because she still had to carry out her duty to lead the guests.

"It was terrible. They deserve to be severely punished." Elysia comforted her fluffy little friends with lots of caresses and petting.

"We killed all of the evil demons in that secret realm, master!" Vanessa raised her paw, feeling proud and comforted.

"You did well. Despite the warnings and regulations we spread throughout the world, they committed a great crime that cannot be forgiven." Elysia was sad for the dead victims.

However, she tried to focus on the survivors and the saved kingdom to alleviate the depressing matter. Even though she was at the scene, she couldn’t change the outcome much unless she revived the dead on a large scale, which would violate Lifa and Gaia’s principles.

"Master, the guests will arrive in one minute." Yusagi reminded everyone about the situation.

Yuuki, Luna, Vanessa, and Lynn looked at each other and reluctantly left their comfort zone, returning to their human form.

"We’ll watch from the side." Lifa waved her hand and dragged the other Goddesses to the side pavilion, leaving Elysia and the fluffy friends in the sacred hall.

One minute later, two disciples escorted the representative from the Huli Secret Realm. Ten people including Fox King Bai and Fox Queen Yun entered the magnificient sacred hall.

Inside the sacred hall, pinkish-golden light filters went through the stained glass windows, forming kaleidoscopic patterns on the polished marble floor. The air was filled with a feeling of tranquility and serenity with a faint divine touch.

Ancient symbols and sigils adorned the sacred hall’s walls, each holding deep spiritual meaning. Runes of protection against malevolent forces decorated the corridors, depicting magical wonder and ethereal wisdom.

Fox King Bai, Fox Queen Yun, and the eight higher-ups from the Huli Kingdom looked around in amazement and admiration, feeling their existence was so small and insignificant compared to the true hegemon in the outside world.

"Welcome to the Sacred Sakura Holy Land, guests from the Huli Kingdom." Elysia greeted the guests in a friendly manner and exuded a clear divine aura to make her identity clear.

"We pay our respect and deepest gratitude to the Sacred Sakura Goddess." Fox King Bai led his group closer before paying his respect, followed by the people around him.

Elysia replied with a faint smile before proceeding to the primary topic regarding the Huli Kingdom joining the Sacred Sakura Alliance. Everything went smoothly and the guests stated their vows without hesitation.

"I commend your bravery, but hiding will never solve the problem. However, we have already interfered in world affairs. Do you know what you must do immediately to prevent a tragedy from happening again?" Elysia tapped her finger on her chair’s armrest

"Respond to the Sacred Sakura Goddess. We are fully aware of our situation, and we will complete all our countermeasure projects as soon as possible. Within this one week, we will declare our affiliation to the Sacred Sakura to the outside world and build our defensive fortress outside the secret realm’s portal." Fox Queen Yun reported plans that would soon be implemented by her Huli Kingdom.

"Very good." Elysia nodded in reply and took out a mysterious-looking, fist-sized red heart berry. She gently pushed it, and it floated to the perplexed pink fox.

"Your Grace?" Fox Queen Yun wondered about the meaning behind this floating fruit.

"You can do nothing as Queen with no power. Eat the fruit in one go and digest it well. Surely, your broken core and dantian will be repaired to the original state. Consider it as my gift. However, you still need to recover your lost spiritual powers." Elysia rested her cheek on her hand, looking at the guests with a faint smile.

"This..." Fox Queen Yun received the floating fruit, looking at the Sacred Sakura Goddess’ ethereal benevolent visage with pure gratitude.

The Soul Fox Deity, Nine-Tailed Fox Deity, White Tiger Deity, and the Soul Fox Empress stood behind the Sacred Sakura Goddess like good servants. She finally understood why such a revered existence would lower themselves as servants, and that was because their master was someone extraordinarily great!

Fox Queen Yun looked at her husband, and he expressed his consent. Whatever happened next, they would get through it together.

With such reassurance, she considered nothing more and ate the mysterious fruit with full faith.

It was a bit difficult to eat the fist-sized fruit in one go, but luckily it was a squishy berry. Fox Queen Yun swallowed the fruit with her mouth smeared with pink liquid.

At that moment, she felt warm good energy flowing throughout her body, but a slight pain and tingling sensation immediately assaulted her lower abdomen.

"Uhm..." Fox Queen Yun squatted down, holding her tummy with a fierce blush on her face.

"What’s the situation?" Fox King Bai was terrified of what might happen, but he didn’t dare suspect the Sacred Sakura Goddess.

"It’s okay. Give me a few minutes." Fox Queen Yun reassured her husband and sat down in meditation, trying to regulate the energy flowing in her entire body.

A few minutes later, Fox Queen Yun’s cultivation returned to her original Saint level. Her broken dantian was repaired and she regained her power back. However, she suffered a condition similar to qi deviation, but without repercussion, where she had close to no spiritual energy remaining in her body.

"Yun expresses her deepest gratitude to the Sacred Sakura Goddess!" Fox Queen Yun hurried to kowtow, expressing her overflowing gratitude.

"We’ve received your sentiment. Go and do what you need to do. With us around, nobody dares to bully our alliance members unless they are tired of living. Rules are also imposed on members." Elysia threw a scroll to Fox King Bai.

Fox King Bai paid his respect with a beaming expression before bidding his farewell and leaving the sacred hall with his group.

"Phew..." Elysia wiped her non-existent sweat. In this way, the fox couple could do the rest to prevent the disaster from befalling the foxkin again.
