Wu Chen stood up from the ground. He was not used to using his legs, and his legs were a little numb from kneeling. He turned his legs into snake tails and moved them around a bit, and the discomfort disappeared.
Wu Chen swam out of the hall with his tail dragging, and a group of priests from the Mother Temple looked at Wu Chen eagerly.
Yingzhou is ruled by the sea people, so five of the seven priests are from the sea people, and most of the witches and great witches are also from the sea people. However, the overall number of witches is much smaller than that of other continents.
Wu Chen shook his head.
The priests breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were somewhat disappointed.
The high priest stayed alone in the temple for most of the day. They knew they were communicating with the Mother Goddess. They hoped to get a response from the Mother Goddess, but they were also afraid that they would not do well and make the Mother Goddess angry.
The beliefs of the sea people are quite diverse. In addition to believing in the Mother Goddess, they also believe in other gods. They focus on practicality and treat everyone equally.
At times like these, I felt a little guilty. When facing the high priest, even if I had done nothing wrong, I would still be timid and trembling, like a milk tea shop encountering an inspector.
The priests of the Mother Goddess Temple of Yingzhou were completely worrying too much. The Mother Goddess didn't care whether their faith was devout or not, and Wuchen, a cow and horse, would care even less. What the Mother Goddess cared about was their ability and character.
As long as we can maintain stability in a region and be able to handle major disasters, and don't do anything that would anger God and people, that's fine.
This means he is a very outstanding priest, and he will naturally have more and more authority at his disposal.
When Wu Chen returned to the floating island, it was already dark, and the sky was filled with stars like a sea. On the island in the middle of the lake, the bright Poseidon Pearl shone into a line, pointing to the house called home.
His beloved little female stood on the island and waved at him.
Wu Chen suddenly felt that things were not so difficult anymore.
The simplest way is to keep Yun Gui by your side and watch over her personally.
Although Wu Chen had no way to prove that she was the reincarnation of the evil beast, he was result-oriented and had the means to restrict Yun Gui.
It just takes some effort, and orcs also have their own "uncanny valley effect". Yun Gui, as the soul of another species reincarnated in the body of an orc, will make the orcs feel uncomfortable even if she does nothing.
Especially since Wu Chen is the high priest, his sixth sense will give him crazy warnings, and he will feel even more uncomfortable when facing Yun Gui.
More importantly, Wu Chen didn't want to leave such a danger with Jiang Yanyue, even if he was sure he could control it.
Since he can't be lazy and take advantage, he also has a way to deal with it.
Wu Chen waded through the water, floated over from the lake like an immortal, and hugged Jiang Yanyue.
Fortunately, it has been upgraded. If it was still level five, Wu Chen would have been able to swim over here in frustration.
"How should she deal with it?" Gu Yue looked at Yun Gui in the corner of the room.
"Take it with you." Wu Chen sighed, feeling helpless.
Yun Gui curled up in the corner, with a metal ring on her hands, feet and neck. There was also a large circle on the ground that trapped her in place. A transparent circular barrier separated Yun Gui from the outside world.
Wu Chen walked to the front of the barrier and met Yun Gui's dark eyes - her pupils had become even darker, almost taking up all the white part, and there was an indescribable weirdness when she looked at people.
Yun Gui was very calm, even with a hint of a smile on her face. It was not the innocent smile of a child, but a provocative, mature one, completely different from her childish face.
It makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Wu Chen calmly met those uncomfortable eyes, without any dodging or retreat, nor any sharp confrontation. He just stared at them calmly, as if he was facing an insignificant person.
"You are also an orc now. Because of your female identity, I really can't hurt you casually." Wu Chen deliberately paused.
The smile on Yun Gui's face became more and more obvious, and she was about to return to her childlike innocence.
Yun Gui knew that given how much the orcs valued their cubs, especially the female cubs, they would not dare to do anything to her unless they produced solid evidence.
Wu Chen and the others' exaggerated claims were nothing more than their intuition. They didn't dare let everyone know about the reincarnation of the evil beast, so they didn't dare do anything to her.
"[Red Boy's Six-Piece Set] is a torture device specifically designed to detain high-level beasts. In addition to restricting your movements, I will leave a special inscription on it to stop your growth and keep you forever nine years old."
Wu Chen also revealed a malicious smile, "Not only will I not let you harm other orcs, you will also not be able to use your body to attract more evil beasts to reincarnate."
Yun Gui's face twisted for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Wu Chen interrupted her, "You are also an orc now. As the high priest, I will not allow any orc to be harmed by the evil beast, and that includes you."
"Stop growing? Do you understand your own body structure, your own cellular structure? Do you know what chromosomes and genes are? You don't even have your own language. How dare you say that?"
Yun Gui couldn't help but sneer. She just didn't believe that a backward race that didn't even have an optical microscope could control the growth patterns of organisms like the Ya tribe.
Wu Chen shook his head honestly, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm the high priest chosen by the gods, and my influence on the world is already huge. When I do something that benefits the world, I might even gain a little authority from the gods for a short period of time."
As Wu Chen spoke, he raised his hands and smoothly drew a string of mysterious runes, which landed on several metal rings on Yun Gui's body.
The process was smooth and short, and even consumed less energy than helping Lille recover her superpowers. Helping Lille recover her superpowers required external assistance, but at this moment, all the energy in the world was at Wuchen's disposal.
Not only was there no consumption, but even a trace of energy was fed back to Wu Chen himself, like a project bonus.
Wu Chen completed the task with ease, but Yun Gui felt a vast and unfathomable energy instantly surging into her body, blocking the vitality of every cell in her body.
From this moment on, Yun Gui will no longer grow, but will only die little by little.
"Why! Why! Why is it you, a bunch of insects! Why can you mobilize the power of gods!" The strong negative emotions overwhelmed her rationality. Blood and tears flowed from Yun Gui's eyes. She cried and laughed, looking crazy.
Jiang Yanyue had already been taken out by Gu Yue. Wu Chen could even smell the barbecue smell coming from outside and was not afraid that Yun Gui would scare Jiang Yanyue like this.
"I advise you not to get too excited. Not only do you lack a single beast pattern on your body, you also have several defects. You're not destined for longevity. Young cubs are already weak, and if your emotions fluctuate too much, you'll easily become sick and die."
The smell of barbecue outside became more and more fragrant. Wu Chen left a piece of hard dried meat and turned to leave.
Wu Chen specially bought the dried meat outside. It was the most common kind in the animal world. Although Wu Chen would not deliberately abuse Yun Gui, it was absolutely impossible for him to enjoy the good life with them.
