Chapter 61 The Scepter of Life

The backyard of the Elf Temple is beautiful. Behind the swing is a very thick tree. Its canopy is broad and lush, and several white flowers, the same color as Wen Ying's hair, are scattered among the branches and leaves, making it seem otherworldly.

The twilight of the other world has finally come to an end; tonight there is no moon, only scattered starlight.

Yan Shi swung on the swing for a couple of moments and finally realized how hungry he was.

She didn't eat dinner.

Damn it, I'm thinking about her Japanese food again. She just ordered, and hasn't even had a bite of her dinner yet.

At this hour, you'll have to queue at any restaurant no matter where you go...

Yan Shi looked around the backyard of the Elf Temple for a while and found it to be really beautiful.

The scenery is pleasant, quiet, and cool.

The white flowers woven among the vines on the boundary gate, and the white flowers in the tree canopy, all carry a faint light, gathering together like twinkling stars.

It is especially suitable.

Moreover, besides the Mithril Merchant Guild, the Fire Sprite was also involved in the incident that made her work overtime today!

Yan Shi's eyes lit up.

...

High Priest: ...

“Lanlan,” the high priest felt the veins on his forehead bulging, “this is the Elf Temple.”

Yan Shi: "Yes, I know."

High Priest: "So you're going to eat hot pot here?"

"You actually know this is hot pot?" Yan Shi was sitting on the grass staring at the slices of meat in the pot when he heard this and turned his head to look at the high priest in surprise.

High Priest: ...

He was sitting in the temple, lost in thought, when suddenly he smelled a strong tomato aroma.

Ishmere was familiar with this taste because Shan Fengyang had taken him to eat it at the human settlement before.

It's said to be a very popular food among humans. I didn't notice it in other Ishmeri, but the flavor is really long-lasting.

It sticks to clothes, and after hanging for a while, all the robes in the closet have the same smell.

During that time, he even smelled like hot pot while leading prayers in the temple.

It was only later, when Shan Fengyang came to see him again, that he smelled the odor and, suppressing a laugh, told him, "If you hang it outside and let the wind blow it out overnight, it will dissipate."

After many years, when he smelled it again, he almost thought it was because his robes hadn't completely fallen off. Then he suddenly remembered, no, a long time had passed, and he was now in the Elven Temple.

Following the smell to the backyard, I discovered that Lanlan was eating hot pot there.

Her hair was tied back with a hair tie, and she wore a simple short-sleeved shirt. She set up a small table in the middle of the backyard of the Elf Temple. In the center of the table was a small pot, which was bubbling away.

The table was covered with all sorts of hot pot ingredients.

The high priest sat down next to Yan Shi and tried to reason with her gently: "Lan Lan, you can come to the backyard of the Elf Temple and eat some food that doesn't have such a strong smell."

But hot pot would be too much.

Yan Shi: "I just happen to be here today, and I really want to eat hot pot."

I was working overtime today and didn't have dinner, but I still have hot pot base at home.

Yan Shi had just opened a spatial rift, went home to get frozen vegetables, a small pot, and a rechargeable induction cooker, and then came over.

The backyard of the Elf Temple is such a perfect place for dinner.

The ambiance of a popular online restaurant.

And there's no need to queue.

The high priest, as if lost in thought, sighed: "Is it because of Yan Shi?"

Yan Shi: ?

What's wrong with her?

Isn't she sitting right here?

Yan Shi looked up from the hotpot, turning his head to look at the High Priest with a bewildered expression.

“Lanlan,” the high priest seemed hesitant, “you don’t need to compare yourself to her.”

"Yan Shi was able to confront the gods head-on and annihilate them with a wave of her hand because Feng Yang reserved the power of justice and the judiciary for her."

Yan Shi: ...

What is it?

Justice and the authority of the judiciary?

How could she, as the person involved, not know?

“Feng Yang definitely favors you the most,” the High Priest said, carefully choosing his words. “Holding the power of justice and the judiciary is exhausting, and Yan Shi is weak. Isn’t it better for you to be like this?”

Yan Shi said expressionlessly, "You know me so well?"

The high priest was still pondering: "If you really want power, and you have an affinity for water, how about I go to the dragon clan tomorrow and ask them for some water-based magical artifacts for you?"

"The Jiaolong clan has a water-based staff that can compress spirits. You can use it to summon spirits and create a monstrous ocean, which is not much different from the blazing sun crown."

Seeing that Yan Shi remained silent, the high priest sighed and continued, "I don't know how much you know. No, you must have already met Yan Shi."

"Feng Yang didn't leave her the Crown of the Blazing Sun and the Scepter of Life, but he left you nothing. The Crown of the Blazing Sun isn't suitable for you; Yan Shi is compatible with fire spirits. The Scepter of Life is to protect Yan Shi from being annihilated by the laws."

What is the Scepter of Life?

Is the scepter of life on her?

Yan Shi felt that she and the High Priest, no matter when the High Priest was, were not on the same wavelength.

The high priest continued, "Lanlan, no matter what, Yanshi is your sister. She will protect you."

Yan Shi: "Explain the Scepter of Life clearly."

“Yan Shi’s ability is the law, so she has been targeted by the law since birth,” the High Priest said. “This is also why Feng Yang had to hide your sister in the house when you lived in Guixu Town.”

"The Scepter of Life was always worn in her hair to protect her from being discovered by the laws."

Wear it in her hair?

Yan Shi's movements suddenly froze.

She raised her hand to touch her hair, and suddenly remembered that she had said something strange when she was tying her hair earlier.

Her hairpin is gone!

Moreover, this is now the Scepter of Life, or, to be precise, she lost the Scepter of Life.

Yan Shi stood up abruptly from the grass.

The High Priest continued, "Lanlan, there's a reason your mother only took Yanshi. Yanshi is weak, and his control over the laws of the outer world isn't as strong..."

Yan Shi suddenly stood up. "Lan Lan? What's wrong with you?" The high priest looked up at her in surprise.

After Kirina said she was returning her feelings to Hikoto, Hikoto felt that he had changed somewhat.

She could now clearly sense the worry and concern in the high priest's tone.

But she couldn't care less about the hotpot and the high priest now; she needed to go to Emerald City to find her hairpin first.

Perhaps because she had relaxed again, Yan Shi felt that her skillful use of the laws, which she had been so adept at when stopping Wei Ning's sacrificial array and confronting the gods, had become awkward again.

never mind.

Yan Shi chanted an incantation: "God said, go to the collapsed ruins of Emerald City."

Space was torn open, and Yan Shi quickly leaped in.

"Lanlan!" The high priest also stood up and called out from behind her, trying to stop her.

Yan Shi had already disappeared into the spatial rift.

High Priest: ...

“No matter what, Yan Shi is Lan Lan’s older sister,” he thought with a frown, “She should be able to tolerate her.”
