My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 988 - 961: Lacking Virtue, Temple Guardian
Bringing Sha Yuanzi back to the City God Temple, Qin Liuxi deliberately brought a roasted chicken and a small jar of wine she had brewed herself to offer to the City God Master.
"This wine is truly fragrant, so sweet and mellow, I feel like I’ve drunk it somewhere before," the City God said happily.
Qin Liuxi thought, of course you’ve drunk it before, and quite a lot, all stolen from her.
The City God looked at the foolish Sha Yuanzi and asked, "Who is this silly boy, oh dear, his soul is damaged? Let me see, oh, it’s been searched, poor thing, who did such a wicked thing?"
Qin Liuxi paused while pouring the wine, let out a cold laugh, sealed the wine jar again, and didn’t pour any more from the pitcher.
What a waste of offering!
The City God sighed, "Why don’t you continue pouring?"
"Because I’m wicked!"
The City God: "?"
This girl even has the habit of scolding herself?
He cautiously asked, "Who, who has upset you?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
This face changes like a child’s, changing in an instant.
"I did this wicked thing!" Qin Liuxi pointed at Sha Yuanzi.
This was a bit awkward.
The City God coughed twice, looked at the chicken and wine in front of him, and righteously said, "Then surely this lad did something abhorrent to man and God."
"Yes, he almost got my master killed."
That is then an irreconcilable enmity.
"So why did you bring him here?" The City God saw that Qin Liuxi had no intention of killing Sha Yuanzi.
Qin Liuxi said, "He will be the temple guardian and serve God here until the day he takes his last breath."
The City God was stunned.
So he will be the temple priest of the City God Temple.
Sha Yuanzi looked at the deity, took two steps forward, reached out his hand to the deity, and closed his eyes slightly.
The City God instantly received his intention to communicate with God and invite the deity, although he is silly, he indeed has some Daoist cultivation.
He communicated with Sha Yuanzi, in the void, Sha Yuanzi knelt in front of him, tears streaming down his face.
The City God felt a bit uneasy, instinctively helped him up, and said, "Silly child, there’s no need for that."
Qin Liuxi hummed with her arms crossed.
After a while, Sha Yuanzi withdrew his hand and looked at Qin Liuxi with bright eyes.
"From now on, you are the Temple Guardian; even if you die, you must guard the temple and serve God here. Don’t let anyone disrespect or insult God." Qin Liuxi looked at him, "Are you willing?"
Sha Yuanzi nodded vigorously, "I am willing."
"Go tidy up a room to live in." Qin Liuxi pouted.
Sha Yuanzi immediately went to organize like an echoing insect.
"Master."
Qin Liuxi turned around and saw Lai San holding a bamboo basket filled with offerings and other items, saying, "Here I am."
Lai San said gratefully, "The child’s mother is much better, I’ve come to offer incense and kneel to the City God."
Qin Liuxi stepped aside, watching him carefully arrange the offerings and respectfully offer incense and kneel, seeing the City God smiling happily, shook her head slightly.
As Lai San stood up, Qin Liuxi said, "Spread the word that the City God Temple is very effective."
Lai San hesitated for a moment.
"The more prosperous the incense at the City God Temple, the more effective the City God will be, and you’ll benefit too, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, don’t worry, I’m familiar with peddling this stuff." Lai San said, rubbing his hands with a smile.
Qin Liuxi squinted at him, saying, "That bit of gold and silver isn’t a gold and silver mountain, even if it is, you’d use it up by sitting at the mountain, think of other means of living, saving is only once or twice, there may not be a third time."
"Don’t worry, Master, I’m already looking for work, my wife also said that once she’s done with confinement, she’ll start making buns to sell, she’s good at making them."
Qin Liuxi nodded, the temple door dimmed, and another woman who had come to pray before came in with a young couple, the man supporting the woman, their expressions of happiness evident.
"Oh, Master is here too, the Master’s predictions are spot on, my daughter-in-law really is expecting, we’re here as a family to fulfill our vow." The woman glanced around and asked, "But where’s the Merit Box in the temple?"
The City God puffed angrily at Qin Liuxi, "Where else would it go, someone stole my offerings, of course the beggars and refugees outside smashed it, they aren’t even scared of divine retribution."
Qin Liuxi said to the woman, "Good people are truly kind; place the incense oil on the table, I’ll make another Merit Box later."
The woman had her son and daughter-in-law offer prayers while she pulled out a handful of copper coins from her wallet and placed them on the table, seeing Qin Liuxi staring at the coins, she looked a bit embarassed. "Once my daughter-in-law safely gives birth, we’ll come again to fulfill our vow and add more to the Merit Oil."
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "Praying to more Gods will naturally result in divine protection, the good people can do as they wish."
The City God: What is that tone, why does it sound like she’s squeezing out incense oil?
Lai San left with his basket, and once the family had left too, Qin Liuxi quickly used some wood she had previously bought to nail a box, labeled it as the Merit Box, and placed it in front of the altar.
Sha Yuanzi did some cleaning.
Lai San came back with a middle-aged man that looked like a steward.
"Master, this man wishes to seek medical help for his Family Head."
The middle-aged man looked at Qin Liuxi in surprise, "A female crown acting as a temple priest?"
"Why not?" Qin Liuxi said, "For medical help or seeking the Dao, please have the good people come, the City God will protect them."
The middle-aged man looked at the majestic statue of the City God and then at Qin Liuxi’s excessively youthful face, feeling a bit unreliable.
Lai San said, "Steward Zhang, I’m not lying, this Master is indeed capable, my wife was almost at the Ghost Gate, and she saved her."
Steward Zhang thought since he was here, he might as well say, "I’ll go and bring my Family Head."
Qin Liuxi moved a worn-out table to a corner of the temple, fetched some paper and a pen, and brought out the medicine pillow. Once prepared, Steward Zhang brought a young man to the temple entrance.
"Sin Barrier, how audacious!" the City God shouted, his eyes seemed to flash with golden light, shooting straight at the temple door.
Qin Liuxi raised her eyebrows and looked over, the divine light shone on the young man, only to hear a sharp ghost wail, a ghostly shadow hurriedly fleeing from his back.
"Young Master, be careful of the threshold." Steward Zhang supported the young man as he entered.
The young man smiled at him, walked in, and seeing the statue of the City God draped in a yellow robe, inexplicably felt the heaviness in him fade away, his body much lighter.
"Master, this is my Family Head’s young master, with the last name Luo." Steward Zhang pushed his young master forward.
Seeing Qin Liuxi, Luo Qi’s pale face blushed a little, his steps a bit hesitant, being a female crown, his condition was indeed somewhat difficult to mention.
"The heart of a doctor is like a parent, in the eyes of a doctor, there is no distinction between male and female, the good people need not feel embarrassed," Qin Liuxi said, "It’s just kidney deficiency and loss of essence."
Luo Qi: "..."
Steward Zhang was amazed, "You knew without even taking a pulse?"
Qin Liuxi gestured towards the City God’s direction, "It’s a skill bestowed by the City God, you came to the right place, this condition wouldn’t be easily cured by an ordinary doctor."
"Why is that?"
"It’s naturally because the good person was being haunted by a female ghost!" Qin Liuxi said, "Just now when you stood here, the City God already exerted His Divine Power and scared her away."
Luo Qi and Steward Zhang: The way this sounds, why does it have a hint of a God Stick conning others?
