The surrounding area had suddenly become silent, and Flower Sword and I had to shield our ears from an unbearable screech coming from the rear of the pavilion. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw a man running over in all black, his hands covering his ears. Just like us, Feng Xin has matured as well. and that is not even close.
Howl he exclaimed, "What the hell are those prayers for?"
so glad no one can see him; otherwise, we would need to explain this to the empath. I don't have an explanation why, but I have little to no respect for or interest in trusting Jun Wu. I sighed in unison with the Flower Sword.
Flower Sword stood up and met Feng Xin halfway. He patted the other's shoulder and laughed, "Feng Xin, thanks for your hard work."
Flower Sword, Feng Xin, and Mu Qing are here most of the time, overlooking prayers. I have been busy with other things in Xianle. The prayers reach into the thousands, yet I still have time to sneak away from the common people. Only my brother knows of this. The other two don't bother asking about what I do at night or when I disappear. On the first day of ascension, I was right down among the common people, healing left, right, and centre. Xie Lian split the prayers between the four of us, more so between the three of them, while I was hardly around.
"Your Highness, why do you and Mei Mei have so many female devotees?" Feng Xin asked while Xie Lian shook out his sleeves and remained seated within the clouds of incense, smiling,.
"What's wrong with having so many female devotees? Beauties like clouds, pleasing to the eyes." Feng Xin dropped his face.
"That, and it's nice to see some maidens pray to me for answers from their true partners," I said as I shifted in place while Brother gave a small laugh.
"Not good at all. It's like those female devotees had no other prayers than wishing to look nicer, marry nicer, give birth to a nice son. Nothing of importance, just looking at them gives me a headache!" Feng Xin said as i gestured towards the crowd. Xie Lian and i grinned. He was about to continue when suddenly there was a commotion among the crowds. i looked past the crowd to the entrance.
"Let's get this over with," I said as I saw an unforgettable silhouette.
"Prince Xiao Jing has come, let's get out of here! Prince Xiao Jing is here!" three years, and he hasn't changed. Everyone who hears something about 'prince Xiao Jing', acts like they've just heard 'the devil'. Everyone acted like frightened birds and left as fast as possible. One would think a tornado came in and scared the worshippers away.
"Make way for Princess Xiao Kali!" The oh-so-familiar prince Xiao Jing called as he shoved some men following him. He was young, dressed in a lavish brocade and a cape crossed the threshold swaggering, a glass gem lamp in his hands. he crossed the threshold when a woman vary similar to him walked in with a hand made lantern in her hands. This was Princess Xiao Kali. She and her brother were named at birth as Qi Rong and Qi Ying. Qi Ying has had a unique talent for making worship lanterns. Qi Rong looks similar to my older brother, while Qi Ying looks similar to me. Qi Rong is about seventeen or eighteen now. Qi Ying too. Qi Rong looks like he's matured, but I doubt it with how much worse he's gotten in attitude. The men behind them didn't get far inside before standing outside the walls.
Both held their lanterns with both hands. One was expensive and made with fine materials. while Qi Ying held a delicate and beautiful lantern with elegant painted details. Both kneeled before the statues and raised their lamps and lanterns up to their foreheads. I heard Feng Xin smack his lips. There's no doubt he's annoyed with Qi Rong after the constant brawls he caused. Brother sent a number of dreams to his mother, father, Qi Rong, Qi Ying, and his guoshi. Meanwhile, I sent dreams to them all but the state preceptor. mostly to keep in contact with them. Anyway, Qi Rong has been behaving better. Qi Ying, before her brother and I ascended, would have nightmares of her father coming back for her with all of Yong'an. Since then, I have frequently sent her dreams of either us catching up or a life as an ascended deity.
After that, her nightmares almost vanished completely. Qi Rong and Qi Ying finished paying their respects when Qi Rong began to complain, while his sister began to pray for help. I made my way down the aisle and sat before her on my knees as she held her hands together over her chest.
"Cousin Crown Prince, cousin crown princess, i beg you. give me strength." i waited for her to continue as she began the tremble. "There are Yong'an coming here for refuge, yet one I saw looked exactly like him."
I jolted in my seat at that mention. "HIM" is a reference to her father.
"I know he isn't around, and I have no intention to take it out on those who are not involved, but if Pyua hadn't been by my side, I would have had a panic attack. So I beg of you: please help me fight this. Even just some dreams will be enough. Just please."
I waved my hand in front of her hair. It created a small breeze, pushing her hair away to reveal her fair face. I sighed and went back up to the alter. I can send her some dreams tonight. She's been through a lot. Mother and father have been praying for her, and I just hope she can be in a much better place once she finds a suitable partner in the future. If she begins to fear men in general, I will begin to worry for her more than I already do.
