"Unveil!" a voice called out as an enormous red brocade fell to the ground. The crowd surrounding the large creation the red brocade hid roared with a thousand voices. Two statues were revealed. One of the crown princes was made of pure gold with jewels embedded in the sword in one hand and the flower in the other, with gems set in the petals, in robes, and on the face, while the other was made from pure diamond with white jade pieces in the robes, face, sword, and what symbolized ice magic. The golden statue held the sword and flower to symbolize "the power to end the world, but with a heart as gentle as a flower." While the diamond statue of the crown princess is meant to resemble a natural and pure wild snow lotus flower, it is an antipyretic, anti-fever, and detoxifying medicine usually used to help treat rheumatoid arthritis, an example of her healing capabilities. These two were the final touches to the eight thousandth temple of the twin heirs of Xianle. Three years after both ascended, there were now eight thousand temples raised to their names. These statues weren't the most glamorous of the batch, but there was a change to something other than the original temples. Atop Mount Taicang, the summit where the crown prince and princess resided in their early years of cultivation was renamed the "crowned twin heir summit," and the first Xianle pavilion was built.
Once the divine statues were sculpted, the king of Xianle personally unveiled them. The crown prince sculpture was five meters high, while the crown princess was half a meter shorter. Their craftsmanship was glorious, almost exact copies of the twin heirs. the incense clouding the ceiling and filling the room with a pleasant smell. The sticks wafting incense and thin smoke were long and short. The donation box was much larger than any other in the other holy temples of previous gods. The court yard of this holy temple was a clear pond, filled with coins shimming brightly. There weren't any turtles in the pond. They were in hiding since the citizens of Xianle would constantly toss coins into the pond. If a turtle were to show up, it would probably be hit in the head by a coin or two. There isn't a single cultivator who could stop this, so they eventually gave up. The massive red walls of the inner temple were planted full of beautiful plumb trees. Each branch was tied with a bright red ribbon used for a wish. It created a beautiful painting of waving red, adding to the plum blossom's colour. The interior temple was busy, but before the crowd, invisible to human eyes, sat my brothel and I, the crown prince and princess. We sat below the statues, father unveiled. We can hear and see them, but they can't hear or see us. Their chatter was amusing at some requests, while others were... questionable.
"How come the Temple of the Crown Prince doesn't have prostration cushions?" One asked.
"Yeah, even the Temple Master said we can't prostrate. The temple's already unveiled so why can't we prostrate?" Another said.
"This must be your first time at the Xianle Pavilion. The Xianle Pavilions are all like this. I hear after his royal highness ascended, he sent dreams to many temple donors, to the Temple Master, telling them not to have the devotees prostrate. So, none of the Temples of the Crown Prince have anywhere you can prostrate." no one could see us, brother nodded his head while i laughed and smirked. After ascending, we discovered our new titles. Brother was known as the flower crown prince, while I was called the snow lotus crown princess. So I began to call Brother Flower Sword, while he called me Snow Lotus. I heard others laugh before us.
"What's the logic in that? Aren't we meant to prostrate before gods? That must've been a rumour." i sighed while flower sword "eh"-ed.
"That's right! We must kneel! Only kneeling can sincerity!" another added. I began to close my eyes and rub my forehead. Everyone kneeled down and began to prostrate. Soon enough, there wasn't a single person standing.
"Ugh, never mind then," I said, knowing well enough that no one but Brother would hear my voice.
"We can take it slow." I looked to flower sword. He was looking my way. Eventually, waves of louder prayers could be heard, coming from all directions.
"Achieve a high rank! A high rank! This year I must achieve a high rank! If I obtain it I will return my gratitude!"
"Pray for safe passages!"
"The girl I like likes my shixiong, please make him uglier, please I beg you."
"I won't believe I still can't give birth to a fucking chubby brat!!!" ...there was so many prayers, it was a headache to listen to listen to so many all at once. With a wave of my hand, I enchanted a circle around us, silencing the many voices. finally giving some peace and quiet. I sighed. I think about the last few years and smile at how I have kept in contact with everyone who can't ascend. knocking on the doors and walls to get mother and father away from the desk they were writing something on, long enough to leave a written letter for them. even Qi Rong and Qi Ying. Qi Rong, I would mess with him by wiping his untied hair over his head to land in his face. After that, I would put a letter in the collar of his robes. while with Qi Ying, I would get the letter in her belt for her to find.
