Hehe, of course I'm afraid of Him.
He...always accidentally breaks things.
The Holy Emperor was taken aback.
Did you break it accidentally?
Why not just fix it?
He gently rubbed Lin Wanwan's head.
The Regent followed the Holy Emperor, watching his doting affection for Lin Wanwan, and for some reason, he found it incredibly irritating.
He doesn't even care about his own princess this much.
He couldn't help but glance at Lin Wanwan a few more times.
"kneel."
At the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's shout, all the officials behind him knelt down.
"rise."
The surroundings were filled with a sacred and solemn atmosphere.
The Holy Emperor prepared to light incense, but looking at Lin Wanwan in his arms, he was reluctant to let go.
Seeing this, the Regent extended his hand, saying, "Your Majesty, please go ahead with your business. I'll help you."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor raised his eyes and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
This guy still has some compassion; it seems he's not quite dead yet.
Then, he handed Lin Wanwan to him, lit the incense himself, and placed it in the incense burner.
"High Goddess Ziling, these offerings are all from the Holy Kingdom. We hope you will accept them with a smile."
As he spoke, he bowed three times, then walked to the incense burner to wash his hands. With a domineering turn, he waved his dragon sleeve.
Immediately, many strangely dressed dancers entered the Hall of Ancestral Spirits. They were alluring, their dances were amazing, and the music played continuously.
Lin Wanwan covered her ears after hearing this for only a short while.
The chick chirped in Lin Wanwan's arms, and if you looked closely, it seemed to be laughing.
[None of the sacrificial dances or offerings are things He likes to eat or see.]
You guys are really pushing someone to their limits.
Lin Wanwan's thoughts settled.
The Regent and the Holy Emperor spoke in unison.
"Stop!"
The Holy Emperor glanced at the Regent.
The Regent coughed as he looked at the Holy Emperor.
"Brother, are you sure you can appreciate this kind of singing and dancing?"
"Why do I feel like I've gone astray?"
The Holy Emperor twitched the corner of his mouth. He had also seen it in the history books, which was why he had specially arranged this event this year.
[See? Even you yourselves can't stand it, yet you want Him to listen?]
[Serves him right for not coming...]
Ye Lanyin was startled by what she heard below; thankfully, her daughter couldn't speak yet.
Otherwise, you will offend the gods and be punished.
Even if the Holy Emperor liked Lin Wanwan, it was only because of her innocence.
Lin Wanwan grabbed her pet chicken by the neck and handed it to the Holy Emperor.
"whee……"
She smiled.
Put it up there.
Let's see if the Purple Spirit Goddess likes Him...
The Holy Emperor was completely bewildered, and he pointed to the chick.
"Wanwan, do you mean you want me to put this live chicken up there?"
The little guy nodded vigorously after hearing this.
[Pet.]
The officials standing below, upon hearing the sacrificial dance suddenly stop, all felt a sense of foreboding.
This dance was specially arranged for this year, why did it suddenly stop? Could it be that the sacrificial ceremony has ended?
That night…
The regent's gaze was inquisitive.
What is this little guy doing? What if he angers the gods?
“Wanwan, be good. The offerings are for the gods. The spirit pearl has not shone for a hundred years. Many people will surely be sacrificed during the Ghost Festival.”
“This chick is alive, so I’m afraid He won’t like it. The Purple Spirit Goddess likes to eat it.”
The Regent spoke softly and gently, patiently explaining to Lin Wanwan.
This was the first time the Holy Emperor had ever seen the Regent so gently coaxing a child, which made the Holy Emperor even more convinced that the task given to Xiao Chengyun was the right one.
The Second Prince knew Lin Wanwan's abilities, and he trusted her.
He cupped his hands to the Regent and said, "Uncle, why don't we listen to Sister Wanwan? Maybe the High God really likes her?"
The regent and the emperor hadn't even had a chance to nod.
The Seventh Prince stepped forward, snatched the chick from Lin Wanwan's hand, and placed it on the offering table.
"Father, Uncle, your son also likes this chick."
"Perhaps the Goddess Ziling really likes it?"
"hey-hey…"
The Holy Emperor listened without commenting.
Although he is an adult, the chick is indeed very good-looking; maybe it's real?
The regent looked puzzled. The chick wasn't even as big as his foot; even if he roasted it, it wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap.
Has the person in charge changed their mind?
He hadn't finished thinking about it.
But then, on the altar not far away, the spirit pearl in the glass goblet faintly emitted a pale purple light, which then grew brighter and brighter...
Finally, the entire hall was enveloped in this purple light, with a faint golden glow, making it appear mysterious and noble.
Soon, the air was filled with the sounds of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Birds soared everywhere, and flowers bloomed in profusion outside the main hall, a sight that was truly breathtaking.
The Holy Emperor watched as various birds flew into the main hall.
Really? Amazing!
Regent: What incredible scene did he witness?
A little chick in a child's hand caused the magical pearl, which had never shone despite the Holy Kingdom's centuries of offerings of countless delicacies, to manifest its power.
Didn't they say that the Purple Spirit Goddess likes to eat?
What, you suddenly like playing games?
The ministers, who were originally immersed in grief, were moved to tears upon seeing this scene.
They all rushed outside the main hall to witness this sacred scene.
"That's incredible."
"A hundred years have passed. So this is what it looks like when the Spirit Pearl lights up."
"I've lived half my life, and this... this is the first time I've ever seen this spirit pearl. It's purple, huh?"
"It's the Purple Spirit Pearl! It really is the Purple Spirit Pearl, the Purple Spirit Pearl from the hands of the Purple Spirit Goddess!"
