Chapter 217 - I Am a Descendant of a Goddess, Your Regret is Just Beginning
\nZi You looked mockingly at Nee Chen and Wu Jieyu. She calmly replied, “Replying to Emperor, Chennu’s Shifu is a woman. She is……”
The palace hall was silent. Everyone stared at Zi You and wanted to know who her Shifu was.
Zi You calmly and clearly said, “My maternal great-grandmother – Indian Goddess Mari. Goddess Mari is the goddess of rain and flowers in India. She accepts the people’s worship. She is a true goddess. Chennu has lived in the Indian God Realm for the past two years. All the goddesses, guardians, and disciples there are female.”
The palace hall was completely silent. An embroidery needle landing on the ground could be heard. A clamor immediately sounded when Zi You finished speaking. “Heavens! Really? There are really gods in this world?!”
“I knew it. How else could she have saved so many soldiers from the swamps? A god is omnipotent of course.”
“It seems that it’s the truth when Mu Xiaojie said that she died, but she was saved.”
“……”
“Don’t be noisy!” Xuanwu Emperor obviously didn’t expect that Zi You was a goddess’ descendant. He couldn’t wait to ask, “Then your mother is the daughter of a goddess? How did she die then? Why didn’t your great-grandmother save her?”
Zi You bowed and calmly answered, “That’s correct. My mother is also a goddess. She didn’t die. Her soul is immortal. My maternal grandmother, Goddess Mari, wanted her to go back to the Indian God Realm. So, my mother had to fake her death to deceive my grandfather, father, and uncle.
“My grandfather followed mother’s request and sent her mortal body to Nanjiang. My mother soon came back to life, but my grandfather, father, and uncle didn’t know. They didn’t know that the expert who saved me on the mountains that day was my maternal grandmother. They thought that she was Bodhisattva Guanyin travelling on a cloud. Thus, they handed me to her with ease.
“If you don’t believe it, you can ask officials from the Astronomy Department whether there was a blue light that covered the whole Mount Yunmeng on the day of the flash flood.”
“Where are the officials from the Astronomy Department?” Xuanwu Emperor shouted loudly. He didn’t care about how Zi You referred to herself anymore. She didn’t use “Chennu,” but “I” instead.
Two officials from the Astromony Department came out in a fluster. They kowtowed and said, “Replying to Emperor, Mu Xiaojie is right. Chen was on duty that night and observed the night sky. There was indeed a blue light that flashed for about a quarter of an hour.”
Xuanwu Emperor and all the officials looked shocked and dumfounded at Zi You.
Some people were happy, scared, worried, regretful, resentful, and jealous. It was like many bottles were knocked over. They had all sorts of feelings.
For example: Mu YingRui.
For example: Zhao HongXiang.
Who didn’t want to obtain a goddess? But they were truly the biggest fools in the world. They had actually obtained a goddess, but they threw her away.
Zhao HongXiang quickly stood up and knelt in front of the Emperor. He kowtowed remorsefully again and again. “Emperor, Chen doesn’t want to dissolve the engagement. Chen’s mother didn’t get Chen’s consent before she asked to dissolve the engagement. Chen doesn’t agree!”
“Marriage……” Xuanwu Emperor said this word before he was shocked by the following scene and couldn’t speak anymore.
Mu YingRui ran over to Zi You and grabbed a hold of her. He asked incredulously, “You’er, you said your mother…… She’s still alive? She’s really…… really a goddess?”
Zi You looked coldly at her slag father and nodded. “Father, you shouldn’t doubt this. Didn’t mother come to see you?”
Mu YingRui’s face instantly turned pale! So, he was really slapped and shaved by Dier. Then it wasn’t difficult to explain what had happened.
How hateful! So she really was a goddess. If he had treated her well back then, could he be enjoying life in the God Realm right now?
Mu YingRui stood there stunned, which made Zi You secretly refreshed. You regret it now, right? This is just the beginning. From now on, I will return the bloody debts to you one by one!
Taizi’s face also changed! His remorse was like a poisonous snake. It didn’t drill out, but it bit his internal organs. He was suffering unbearable pain, but he couldn’t say it out loud.
But Zi You’s following words made him want to bang his head.
“My mother met the Great Yan army that was pacifiying the rebellion back then. If she didn’t serve as a guide for them, the Great Yan army might not have succeeded in the counterinsurgency. That was because Darong Ka’s father was also a famous shaman in Nanjiang like Darong Ka was. The two spirit snakes that he raised were killed by my mother. Darong Ka’s father couldn’t withstand the blow of failure and died from illness.
“So, Darong Ka came to the capital and obtained Emperor and Taizi’s trust. His purpose was to seek revenge. He knew that I am Dier’s daughter and a descendant of an Indian goddess. He wanted to kill me, but I have spiritual power protecting me, so he could not harm me.
“As a result, he wanted to kill my grandfather and uncle, but he didn’t expect that my great-grandmother knew everything that he did. She sent me and my mother to Nanjiang and saved my grandfather, uncle, and Great Yan’s soldiers. That scoundrel actually gave a gu to my grandfather and uncle. My mother got rid of the gus, but Darong Ka was bitten by his own gu.
“When we occupied Dali and before we entered the mountains for a counterattack, Darong Ka had died. But it’s a good thing that he’s dead. If he’s not dead, I will make him wish that he’s dead!” Zi You scolded viciously. That not only attracted the officials’ discussion, but the Emperor, the Empress, and Taizi were terrified!
They were scared because they didn’t know Zi You’s ability. If she was as powerful as that whatever Goddess Mari, then wouldn’t she know all about their conspiracy? The Empress wanted to refute, but she was so scared that she didn’t dare to speak. She hid behind Wu Jieyu and nudged her.
Wu Jieyu wasn’t afraid of death and foolishly asked Zi You, “Then isn’t Mu Xiaojie omnipotent?”
Zi You still calmly shook her head and replied, “Does Jieyu think that it’s so easy to become a god? One has to go through thousands of hardships and practice in dangerous situations. My current spiritual power can’t even compare to my grandmother and mother, much less my great-grandmother.”
“Then what can you do?” The Emperor was the most concerned about this question, so he shouted.
Zi You slightly smiled. A brilliant smile appeared on her beautiful face, like flowers floating in the snow and underneath the moon. For a moment, the whole palace hall seemed to burst with a snow plum blossom scent.
She clearly stood below the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress, but everyone was looking at her right now. She really was like a goddess standing on top of a mountain looking disdainfully at the mortal beings.
At this moment, she was extremely beautiful. It was an extreme and unlimited disdain and self-confidence that emerged from the heart. The beauty eclipsed everyone there, including the most noble people in the world.
They could hear a clear and cold voice ringing in the palace hall. “Of course I can treat and heal someone. But I can also see through a person’s body and see the true essence. I can also summon the wind and rain. Even Darong Ka can do this. If he didn’t summon the heavy rain, the flash floods wouldn’t have happened that day. Of course, the most powerful skill is killing someone! Do you want me to show you…… Emperor?”
The Emperor looked at her smile that was not a smile. She was aloof and elegant. She didn’t have the slightest bit of charm no matter what. She was just chillingly cold.
Xuanwu Emperor swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He nodded with difficulty and asked, “You can see through bodies and see the true essence?”
