Chapter 373: What to bring along? Take the Grand Priestess with you!
In the great hall of the banquet.
As expected, Li Mo, the “Lord of the Divine,” took the main seat.
Meanwhile, the Grand Priestess, who should have sat in that position, was kneeling beside him, dressed in luxurious ceremonial robes, serving him like a maid.
Her attentiveness was such that she might have chewed the food and fed it to him!
The Loulan senior officials accompanying them also showed great respect.
Tian Ze tilted his head and quietly asked Wei Zhuang, “Is he really the Lord of the Divine?”
Wei Zhuang took a sip of Loulan’s camel milk wine, his gaze sweeping over the respectful Loulan people.
In a calm manner, he replied, “As long as they believe it, he is. As for whether he really is or not, does it matter?”
Tian Ze frowned, pondering for a moment before cracking a smile.
It didn’t matter who the deity worshipped by the Loulan people was, nor whether Li Mo was the deity they worshipped.
What mattered was that since the Grand Priestess said he was the deity, then he was a deity!
Even if he himself thought he was not a deity, it didn’t matter.
It was like saying, “I love you” is “I love you.”
Whether you love me or not isn’t important.
You may not be a deity, but that doesn’t mean I can’t believe you are.
This Grand Priestess fully exemplified the “sugar pie” inequality from two thousand years later!
On the other side, the trio of Fei Yan, the Moon Goddess, and Li Wu were also whispering.
Mostly, it was Li Wu asking questions, with Fei Yan providing answers.
Li Wu glanced at the Grand Priestess, who had such a stark contrast from before, chuckling, “Why does she say our master is a deity?”
With a smile at the corner of her mouth, Fei Yan responded, “Because my husband is extraordinarily handsome and talented.”
The Moon Goddess nodded in agreement.
The Grand Priestess had stated as much before in the bathhouse, claiming that no man in the world could compare to the deity they worshipped.
Li Mo, altered from his previous image, must have struck a chord with the Grand Priestess, leading her to blindly believe he was the deity.
After being constantly fed wine by the Grand Priestess, Li Mo finally stopped her.
The Grand Priestess set down the wine flask, respectfully saying, “What else would the Lord of the Divine like to eat? I can arrange it.”
Li Mo touched the eight-pack abs under his clothing, repeatedly waving his hand, saying, “That’s enough, enough.”
If he ate eight more, they would become one!
This Grand Priestess really treated him like a pig to be fed! (bgfb)
The Grand Priestess nodded, “As you wish.”
Li Mo pondered for a moment and said, “You don’t need to be like this. I already explained to you earlier that I am the National Advisor of Great Qin, here only for the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, not your Lord of the Divine.”
Li Mo did not wish to be the bad uncle who lures little girls with candy.
He knew exactly who he was.
He was just a mere mortal, not the Lord of the Divine as the Grand Priestess claimed.
Hearing him say this again, the Grand Priestess directly shook her head.
Stubbornly, she insisted, “You are the Lord of the Divine.”
Tian Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
These two were indeed quite the odd pair.
One was desperately explaining, and the other was determined to ignore it.
Li Mo pursed his lips and patiently asked, “Why do you think I am the Lord of the Divine?”
The Grand Priestess looked up, her gaze fixed on his eyes, “Because… you are handsome.”
“Pu chi!”
Tian Ze finally couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Wei Zhuang was almost broken by the Grand Priestess’s words too.
The Grand Priestess shot a look at Tian Ze and stated with righteous indignation, “What are you laughing at? The Lord of the Divine is handsome and mighty, not something you common mortals can compare to.”
After finishing, she looked at Fei Yan and the others.
As if suddenly enlightened, she said, “Now I finally understand why you have such thoughts. No wonder these heavenly beauties are willing to share one husband just to stay by Li Mo’s side.”
A deity, who wouldn’t love that?
Switching places with her, she’d gladly accept!
As long as the Lord of the Divine noticed her, serving him would be her privilege.
Ever since she was chosen, the Grand Priestess had existed to serve the Lord of the Divine.
Li Mo shook his head and said, “But have you ever thought, what if you recognized the wrong person?”
The Grand Priestess confidently replied, “I will not be mistaken; you are the Lord of the Divine.”
“What if?”
“There is no ‘what if’!”
Li Mo:
How did this woman get more stubborn than Fei Yan?
Seeing that he still wanted to deny it, the Grand Priestess boldly asked, “I dare to ask, Lord of the Divine, what brings you here?”
Li Mo replied without hesitation, “To deal with the Chiyou Demon Spirit and to unravel the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Grand Priestess and the high-ranking officials of Loulan all trembled.
Their eyes seemed to shine with excitement.
Li Mo was puzzled and asked, “Is there something wrong with what I said?”
The Grand Priestess looked at him with a gaze almost stringing together words and said, “There’s nothing wrong; your answer is exactly the same as what the Mysterious Lady left behind.”
Li Mo was taken aback: “The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady? What did she say?”
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was the true legendary deity!
The Grand Priestess candidly replied, “The Mysterious Lady left a prophecy that one day, the Lord of the Divine would descend, eliminate Chiyou, unravel the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, and restore peace to the land.”
Li Mo then said, “No, no, that’s not right. I wasn’t talking about eliminating the Chiyou Demon Spirit; that’s just a side matter. I actually came here to do business with you!”
Establishing trade routes from the Central Plains to the Western Regions was also one of the reasons Li Mo had come.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Priestess was not angry but rather delighted, her smile growing even brighter.
“The Mysterious Lady also said that the Lord of the Divine would lead us out of suffering, allowing Loulan to become an eternal oasis in the desert. What do you think? Isn’t this in line with your thoughts?”
Li Mo was at a loss for words and could only retort, “Then what else did the Mysterious Lady say?”
The Grand Priestess pondered for a moment and replied, “Hmm… The Heavenly Lady also said that the Lord of the Divine would eliminate the Chiyou Demon Tribe and rescue our Loulan citizens from danger.”
Li Mo asked skeptically, “Did she really say that?”
The Grand Priestess pressed her red lips together and nodded vigorously: “Mm!”
Li Mo fixed his gaze on her sincere eyes, suspiciously wondering if this was something she made up!
Tian Ze below was holding back laughter painfully.
Taking the opportunity, he asked, “Did the Mysterious Lady say anything else? Did the Lord of the Divine take anything from here?”
If the Grand Priestess’s words truly were the prophecy left by the Mysterious Lady, then it would be possible to know what the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon were!
The Grand Priestess’s eyes twinkled as she nodded, “Yes.”
This matter concerning the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon had everyone perk up with interest.
Li Wu urged, “What was taken away?”
Unexpectedly, the Grand Priestess suddenly blushed.
Lowering her head, she whispered, “The Grand Priestess here will be taken away.”
Everyone was dumbfounded: “Huh?”
