Laifeng Kingdom, the 18th year of Tianze, December 28th.

For the people of the capital city (Fengcheng), this is a special day, as they are about to welcome a unique city god.

For several days, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has been promoting Su Mutiansheng's handsome appearance, his wisdom and talent in both civil and military affairs, and his kind and generous character. It has also tailored some miraculous stories for him.

Through various publicity efforts such as teahouses, restaurants, food stalls, and even brothels, through storytellers, and word of mouth in the streets and alleys and vegetable markets, the people of Fengcheng not only had no resistance to the new City God and his wife, but were also full of curiosity, and wanted to see them as soon as possible.

Today is the auspicious day for the City God and his wife to tour the city and for their statues to be enshrined in the City God Temple. The entire capital is decorated with lights and the streets are lined with onlookers.

As the sound of gongs and drums rang out, led by eight teams of auspicious lions, a carriage carrying the consecrated statues of the City God and his wife began to slowly tour the city.

Su Mutiansheng was tall and imposing, with an imposing bearing; the woman beside him was beautiful, gentle and elegant, and the two seemed a perfect match. Some were discussing the City God's handsome appearance and his wife's stunning beauty, while others were full of anticipation for the City God's magical powers.

Amid the cheers of the people, the statues of the City God and his wife paraded through the main streets of the capital around noon, then left the city and headed for the City God Temple in the northern suburbs. From then on, they would shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the city and ensuring the safety and happiness of the local people.

"Brother Li, slow down!"

There was an endless stream of people coming to the City God Temple to burn incense today. Worried that Mu Lige would be disturbed, Hua Qingcheng and her husbands waited until almost dusk before getting off the carriage.

Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen supported the pregnant Mu Lige on either side, and together they entered the City God Temple. Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng, and Zuo An followed closely behind.

"Oh my goodness! This noble man looks just like our City God!"

A commoner, having just left the main hall after burning incense and praying, saw Mu Lige approaching and marveled at her. If Mu Lige hadn't been pregnant, he would have almost thought she was the City God herself. Upon hearing this, the people who had left with her also turned their gazes to Mu Lige.

"Guilt! Guilt!"

"So there really are such handsome men in this world! No wonder I've developed a crush on the City God..."

A young woman put her hand on her chest, covering her heart which was beating fast because of seeing Mu Lige.

However, when the woman saw Hua Qingcheng with a sullen face beside Mu Lige, she immediately shut her mouth wisely and shed a handful of sad tears in her heart: Woo woo woo, why are all the good-looking men already someone else's...

Facing the scorching gazes that the kindhearted woman and the faithful man cast on Mu Lige, Hua Qingcheng kept a sullen face and hugged his arms tighter as if to declare her sovereignty.

It's also a trouble that my man is too good-looking...

Looking up at the two familiar statues in the center of the hall, Mu Lige suddenly felt mixed emotions, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but overflow.

The statue was life-sized and so lifelike, it looked as if it would spring to life in the next second. It was the work of the most skilled sculptor in Laifeng, who had spent several days crafting it.

The craftsmanship of this master is truly amazing. With her miraculous skills, she has portrayed the images of Su Mutiansheng, a virtuous gentleman, majestic and awe-inspiring, and Gongsun Muxue, noble, generous, compassionate and kind, so vividly that they inspire respect from people.

Under the master's skillful hands, every cut and chisel seemed to bring the statues to life, making their images more vivid and lifelike. Every detail of the statues was carved with extreme precision. Whether it was Su Mutiansheng's majestic and heroic figure or Gongsun Muxue's compassionate smile, they all made people feel an indescribable shock.

"(Father, Mother,) Li Ge is here to see you!"

His father, mother, and concubine were finally no longer wandering ghosts in the mortal world. They had become deities in the City God Temple of the Laifeng Kingdom's capital, accompanying him and Li Zhen closely...

Sensing Mu Lige's excitement, Hua Qingcheng shook his hand and conveyed her concern and love to this man through the warmth of her palm: "Brother Li, you are pregnant now, you must take care of yourself."

Mu Lige nodded slightly, then took Hua Qingcheng's hand in his own, wrapping it in his own large palm. His heart warmed. Now, not only did he have a beloved lover and a younger brother, but he could also reunite with his parents in a different way...

"Li Ge, don't be sad, father and mother will always bless you!"

Su Mutiansheng used his divine sense to convey his words to Mu Lige. After all, it was not appropriate for him to show up in broad daylight. Moreover, they were now separated from immortals and mortals, and if he appeared too frequently, it would not be good for mortals.

At this time, a temple attendant came over. She was first shocked by Mu Lige's face, which was exactly the same as the City God's. Then she calmed herself down and said respectfully, "Dear donors, the City God and his wife will definitely feel your sincerity. If you have any other wishes, you can pray in front of the statue."

Mu Lige and Hua Qingcheng looked at each other, then walked to the statue together and prayed devoutly.

Wu Chen, who was standing by, had already lit the incense and gave three sticks each to Mu Lige and Hua Qingcheng. He then knelt down devoutly in front of the statues of Su Mutiansheng and Gongsun Muxue. After saying many words in his heart to his two parents, with whom he had a shallow relationship, he finally placed the incense in the incense burner under the statues.

Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng and Zuo An, who were standing by, also silently burned incense for Su Mutiansheng and Gongsun Muxue.

Then, they offered incense to the civil and military judges on either side of the City God, as well as to the various deities within the temple, the day and night wandering gods, and other deities. However, Hua Qingcheng, Mu Lige, Yu Xiaotian, and Wuchen only bowed to the City God and the civil judges in a junior salute, while the others simply nodded and offered incense.

It’s not that they are arrogant, but no matter whether it is Hua Qingcheng, the chosen girl, or Mu Lige, who is full of dragon energy, or the Son of God who has experienced tribulations in the human world, or Wu Chen, who is also the son of Su Mu Tiansheng and Gongsun Muxue, their status makes it inappropriate for them to kneel down to them.

Si Chengfeng looked at the statue of Meng Lishi, standing in the position of Wen Panguan to the left of the City God. The familiar face made Si Chengfeng burst into tears. However, after Si Chengfeng kowtowed to Meng Lishi, the sadness in his eyes disappeared.

Because Si Chengfeng knew that his father was accompanying and protecting him in another way.
