Chapter 378: 353. Sister Yi, I miss you so much~
Shining Gold Divine Light reached from the earth to the heavens.
Within the pillar of light, stars twinkled, among which a sacred silhouette faintly emerged.
Suspended with a Golden Ring, the snow-white bare feet stepped out of the light stream, the crystal-clear jade toes lightly touched the void, like a deity walking on water, sending ripples of gold in circles across the air.
From the ankles upwards, the majestic yet sacred golden long skirt shone brilliantly,
The woman's forehead bore the mark of the Fiery Sun Holy Light, and behind her head floated a rose-golden divine ring.
Upon witnessing this, Ye Lin and Che Yinyou, along with the followers of the Burning Heaven Sect, unanimously knelt down and reverently said in a deep voice, "Goddess!"
Xia Feng was unexpectedly pulled by Ye Lin to kneel on one knee and bow his head.
The Eternal Day Goddess's fox-like beautiful eyes curved gently, and although her gaze seemed indifferent and aloof, her elegant, beautiful face bore a majestic motherliness.
The moment she stepped out of the light pillar, her gaze locked onto a certain individual, and the straight, cold corners of her lips imperceptibly curled.
"Everyone, rise."
Following the words of the Golden-skirted Goddess, everyone got up sequentially,
Blind Qing bowed and presented a black bag with both hands, "Goddess, within this bag are 255 Yao Stones, 1 Heavenly Stone Embryo, as per regulations, they must be sent back to Burning Heaven Island immediately."
The Golden-skirted Goddess nodded slightly with an indifferent expression, and the black bag soared into the divine light pillar and vanished without a trace.
After seeing the black bag taken by the Goddess, Blind Qing felt relieved, his task was successfully completed!
With so many Yao Stones and the Heavenly Stone Embryo, vital for ascension to the Venerable Realm, he would receive a significantly large amount of Merit Points.
Enough to exchange for all sorts of spiritual materials, Advanced Spiritual Clothes.
Although these Yao Stones needed to be actually sent back to the island to complete the task, handing them over to the Goddess was practically the same.
Surely the Goddess wouldn't lose these treasures during the teleportation?
Unless some other deity decided to snatch them.
But that was absolutely impossible.
His task was complete, and he felt pleased and relaxed.
"Is there anything else?" asked the Eternal Day Goddess in a soft voice.
"Goddess."
The person suddenly looked up at this moment, "I have a few important matters to report to you."
"Oh?"
The light gold divine eyes shifted as the woman tilted her head towards Xia Feng. She paused for a moment, then turned and walked back into the light pillar, "Come with me."
Xia Feng immediately stood up and followed her.
The light pillar blocked all sensing abilities, causing Che Yinyou to frown, but after chuckling softly, he looked towards Ye Lin not far away,
"This esteemed guest you mentioned, isn't he trying to complain to the Goddess?"
Ye Lin wasn't sure what Xia Feng intended to do, perhaps he really wanted to eliminate Che Yinyou with the help of the Goddess?
But regardless of whether the will of the Goddess could influence the Present Realm, and whether the Goddess would grant such a favor to the Saint Heir…
It seemed unlikely for her to grant that favor; after all, the Goddess wasn't the Saint Heir's birth mother, so she wouldn't indulge him.
Seeing Ye Lin remaining silent, a mocking smile appeared on Che Yinyou's lips as he casually twirled a silver gun with his fingertips, "Let him struggle in vain for a while."
...
Golden Light Space.
The Golden-skirted Goddess turned around, her divine eyes unblinkingly stared at Xia Feng in the distance, her majestic gaze slowly turning indifferent, and a chilling smile formed on her lips.
This foolish brother had become increasingly difficult to control starting from the age of ten, especially after meeting that girl with the Tea surname at the age of twelve, he completely lost control.
Now that he had grown, this uncontrollability was beyond anything before.
Fortunately, after such a long pursuit, she finally caught him!
However, Xia Feng had repeatedly escaped and provoked her, showing disrespect, so she was no longer prepared to show him any kindness.
She needed to make this foolish brother understand—
she was his master, she had been in the past, she was now, and she would continue to be in the future!
And before that, she had to properly discipline this foolish brother—
"Sister Yi~" A choked, soft voice sounded; and before Gong Changyi could react, Xia Feng suddenly stepped forward and embraced her tightly.
Gong Changyi's pale golden divine eyes briefly faltered, feeling the warmth as the man buried his face in her neck, the familiar soulful scent swirling around her nose after many years.
"Sister Yi, I've missed you so much...." The man's voice was gentle, husky, and warm as his breath tickled her ear, his hands encircling her slim waist and beautiful back, holding her tightly,
as if he never wanted to let her go again.
Gong Changyi's lips slightly parted; the cold words stuck in her throat, and the chill at the corners of her lips slowly receded.
After a long silence, she lowered her pale golden divine eyes and extended her slender hand to lightly rest on the man's broad back.
She closed her eyes and embraced him tightly.
Little Feng had indeed grown up; he used to be so small, barely reaching her chest, and now he had grown so tall.
The moment Xia Feng felt the Golden-skirted Goddess's hand tightly embracing his back, his body subconsciously wanted to tremble, but fortunately, he suppressed it.
It was the childhood shadow etched into his bones, the innate fear of this woman.
Whenever Sister Yi hugged him as a child, he felt as if he was being crushed by this woman, held tightly, even unwilling to separate while sleeping.
Sleeping like that wasn't very comfortable,
and he had protested, but sadly, the protests were ineffective as any attempts to push away were met with even more excessive punitive measures.
Eventually, he got used to it, and not sleeping in her grasp somehow even felt uncomfortable.
So after many years, upon feeling this warm yet terrifying embrace again,
besides fear, he felt a long-lost sense of closeness and reassurance.
That made him somewhat dazed.
Sister Yi had indeed changed a lot, significantly, and unusually so....
But as a sliver of divine will of a deity, this Divine Body should be able to freely alter its form; presumably, Sister Yi had crafted her size herself.
His thoughts were scattered thinking about this, which incidentally suppressed his fear of Sister Yi, and seeing this, he began his exceptional acting!
"Sister Yi, I've figured it out."
He looked up at the Golden-skirted Goddess's rosy golden ring behind her head, his cheek pressed against the woman's side cheek, "I'll go to Burning Heaven Island, I won't run away."
Listening to Xia Feng's earnest voice beside her ear, Gong Changyi's divine eyes gradually softened, "Really?"
"Certainly!"
Gong Changyi looked up, her divine eyes meeting Xia Feng's black pupils, her elegant face breaking into a gentle smile as she asked again, "You're not lying to Sister?"
"I never lie."
Xia Feng's lips curled into a pleasing smile, holding the woman even tighter, his large black pupils genuine and simple, "Besides, Sister Yi just wants to keep me by her side, restricting my freedom, why would I run away?"
—As if!
Foolish sister, when I've finished using you, I'll have Dragon God suppress you fiercely!
"Good that you've realized."
The Golden-skirted Goddess's soft and gentle hand gently stroked Xia Feng's black hair, her eyes tender,
"Little Feng is indeed still my obedient brother, unchanged~"
—As if!
Foolish brother, do you really think I would believe your lies again? Once you're on the island, your suffering will begin!
