Chapter 110: Unpredictable
......
[When Fu Fang arrived in the mortal world, the sacrifice was just halfway through.
The priests below were still chanting. Their slowly drawn-out voices, coupled with the intonation of speech from the last century, seemed so mysterious and elegant to those who didn't know the situation.
At least this is what the priests are singing to the believers who are now kneeling under the altar.
Because they don't understand.
But for the government officials who understood, everything was different.
All I could hear were the priests' words shirking responsibility: "God, your flesh and blood are among the people. If it's yours, please speak up."
"God, if you don't care, then we will admit it."
"God, we admitted our mistake. You can't blame us. After all, this was your tacit agreement."
The government official: "..."
All I can say is that it’s a good thing that the believers below didn’t understand, otherwise not only would the priest lose face, but he would have lost all his face as well.
For the first time, the government felt that time was such a good word. The priests who thought that gods must use ancient languages to communicate and forced the priests to learn ancient languages were so wise.
He watched the priests singing and dancing from invisibly, and finally understood everything from their lyrics.
It turned out that there was a woman in the mortal world who became pregnant before marriage. She should have been punished by law, but she suddenly said that her child was the child of Mother Earth, and that she had this child in a dream.
His priests were unable to determine the identity of the child for a moment, so they held this sacrifice to seek his opinion.
The government officials turned their attention to the woman standing in the center of the altar. She was holding a newborn baby, pretending to be calm.
She lowered her head and shed tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but the government saw that her eyes were darting around, and it was obvious that she was not as calm as she appeared.
On the contrary, she was a little anxious.
Obviously, she could not understand what the priests said, and she herself was not sure whether her attempt to frame the gods would succeed in the end.
The government took a deep breath and finally decided to acknowledge the child in silence.
Although he didn't know why this woman would choose him, an honest god, instead of going to the wise god next door who had a lot of romantic affairs.
This kind of thing clearly sounds like something a god of wisdom would do.
He dared to bet that once the woman said that her child was from the God of Wisdom, the priests of the God of Wisdom would not even hold a sacrifice or ask any questions, but would acknowledge the child.
Don’t even mention that the God of Wisdom is the image of a goddess. She even said that she got pregnant because of a feeling in a dream. What else can she say?
However, when he thought about the extremely harsh treatment of unmarried pregnant women in that era, and that if he did not acknowledge the child, not only would the child be killed as a bastard, but the woman would also be burned at the stake, the government decided to take the blame.
He shook his head, turned around and returned to the divine realm, where he confided the incident with a mixture of laughter and tears.
The Moon Goddess beside her laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. "Hahaha, I never thought that you would see this day again."
"You said you recognized the child. As your good friend, I'm also the child's aunt. Do you want me to give him something as well?"
Fu Fang's thin lips were tightly closed, and he looked at the Moon Goddess speechlessly: "I knew you would be like this, so I didn't want to tell you at the beginning."
Moon Goddess: "No, the God Realm is so boring. How can I be happy if I don't listen to some gossip like this?"
Fu Fang: "I see you're quite happy. Without me, don't you still have the God of Light? I see you two are so affectionate. Do you still need me to cheer you up?"
The Moon Goddess put away her smile upon hearing this and turned serious. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about you. Are you just going to accept that child like that? Don't you care about anything else?"
"She got the status of the Son of God for nothing. How do you know she won't use her status to do something in the mortal world?"
Fu Fang played with the jade in his hand indifferently and said coldly:
"Anyway, that child is a mortal. Even if I really acknowledge her, she will only live for a hundred years. Even if she really bears my name, she won't cause any trouble."
The Moon Goddess shook her head. "You underestimate mortals. Throughout history, so many mortals died young, in their thirties or forties. You shouldn't have delayed them from changing dynasties and building great achievements."
"Maybe your daughter is really a powerful person who can turn the world upside down..."
"How about I tell you about your daughter's fortune? What will her future hold?"
Fu Fang gave a fake smile and said, "No need for that. You've only just learned the art of fortune-telling from Chong Li. How accurate can it be?"
"Last time I asked you to calculate where my group of Tengu had gone, you predicted they were in the Black River, but you ended up finding them in the West Mountain."
"The Black River and the Western Mountains are a vast distance apart. If you can't even make a mistake, how can we expect you to tell her fortune? I'm really afraid you'll predict a premature death for her."
The Moon Goddess was so angry that she was about to stand up and argue with the government.
"That day, the dog was really in Heihe when I was fortune-telling, but it later ran off to Xishan on its own!"
"I have divine proof. Chongli saw it with his own eyes. They ran to the West Mountain on their own!"
Fu Fang waved his hand, "Who doesn't know how much Chongli wants to cherish you right now, holding you close to his heart?"
"If Chongli refutes you when you say something now, it would be strange. This divine testimony is not reliable at all."
"Don't think I don't know. My Tengu are farther away, but Chongli will drive them from other places to Heihe to protect you."
"It was only when we passed by Xishan that I discovered you, so you didn't succeed."
The Moon Goddess was speechless for a moment. Chongli really did that, but she was not sure whether the government had any evidence.
It was this two or three second pause that confirmed the government's guess.
"Okay, did Chongli really do that? No wonder the Heavenly Dog fell asleep right after returning that day. I thought it never looked so listless when it came back before. It turns out Chongli really drove it back."
The Moon Goddess' eyes widened: "Are you deceiving me?"
The government sneered: "Isn't this a trick?"
The Moon Goddess suddenly lost her aura and said flatteringly, "I'm quite accurate at fortune-telling. I'll do it for your daughter right now."
The Moon Goddess calculated with her hands, then looked towards the government with difficulty.
Just when Fu Fang was feeling a little annoyed by being looked at, she tremblingly said:
"I guessed that your daughter had a forbidden love..."
Fu Fang sneered: "Her father is nowhere to be found. How can she still have a relationship with her mother?"
The Moon Goddess gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said with a hardened heart, "Isn't her father here?"
Only then did the government realize that the forbidden love the Moon Goddess was talking about was with themselves.
He waved his sleeves and looked at the Moon Goddess speechlessly: "Even if your calculations are inaccurate, you should go back and learn from Chongli."
