Mingmei: "...!!"

"release!"

"Don't loosen it."

"Let go..." Enough is enough; at this point, Mingmei was also a little angry and directly reprimanded the other party in a low voice.

Mingmei looked at the group of people in front of her with a flustered expression, seemingly unaware of her and Mu Chen's presence.

"Little liar!" Seeing Mingmei's reddened eyes, Mu Chen couldn't bear it. He walked directly to Mingmei and whispered in her ear, "If you really don't need it, then don't cry if I win this round."

...

"Wow! Here..."

"Please refrain from making noise inside the main hall!"

Upon entering the main hall, everyone was stunned by the nearly three-meter-tall golden statue enshrined in the dilapidated temple. Lu Xiaoyao was immediately reprimanded by Huang Er for her instinctive amazement.

"This is... made of gold?"

Wang Wenfei was also incredulous, staring at the statue and asking in a low voice.

“Yes, it’s all made of gold!” Huang Er said with a proud look on his face. “With so many followers of the Mountain God, it’s only natural that his statue needs to be recast in gold to make wishes and fulfill vows!”

The statue on the platform has a compassionate face, and its body appears solemn and gentle in the incense smoke. Its half-closed eyes make it look like a deity looking down at the human world. This statue is really well made.

"The murals here are also very beautiful."

The temple was dilapidated and old outside, and the buildings inside, though old, were not destroyed. The murals on the walls were like a miniature human world.

With mountains, water, and houses, a few simple lines make the smoke from the chimneys on the mural seem to move without wind. Paired with the people working in the fields on the mural, it seems as if they are about to get up and follow the aroma of food home at any moment.

“Yes, the murals here are beautiful too.” Not only Merita, but Julian was also drawn to them, and the group stared at the wall in a daze.

It was a very strange feeling.

"Dad, you still haven't answered me why I suddenly decided to become a temple keeper."

The only sober person in the room, Wang Wenfei was unusually concerned about her father.

In her role's memory, when she was admitted to a good university in another city with exceptional performance, her mother said a lot of happy words. Although Wang Wenfei could not recall clearly through her role's memory, she could still deduce some of it from her father's scolding of her mother.

Wang Laosan scolded Cuihua, telling her not to attribute her daughter's efforts to the mountain god.

Her father's face always looked terrible when he mentioned the mountain god, a stark contrast to his current peaceful expression and devout gaze towards the statue.

"I suddenly felt the call of the Mountain God, so I came."

"ha?"

Those present almost burst out laughing when they heard this.

What's this?

Suddenly you had a complete epiphany?

"Why do I feel like this mountain god they're talking about is from some kind of shady background?" Lu Xiaoyao's words really struck a chord with everyone else, except for the NPCs present.

"And what about my mom?"

Wang Wenfei stared into the other person's eyes and mentioned Ms. Cuihua.

"If she's willing to go up the mountain to serve the mountain god, that's fine too." As Wang Laosan finished speaking in a low voice, Mingmei secretly rolled her eyes...
