Chapter 492 A Gift of Thirty Billion
The next day, before dawn, a torrential downpour began.
The rain poured down on the roof tiles, accompanied by thunder and lightning, startling Quwan from her dream.
Unable to sleep, she casually put on a coat and sat inside waiting for the rain to stop.
But as they waited and waited, the rain only got heavier.
She had a bad feeling, and without thinking too much, she simply opened her umbrella and went to find her friend.
When we arrived at our destination, it was just getting light.
Xia Yue hasn't been sleeping well lately and wakes up very early. In addition, she's worried that this plan will fail, so she's been waiting at the door since early morning.
Xia Yue was both surprised and delighted to see Qu Wanwan arrive.
However, when she saw the raindrops on Qu Wanwan's body, her eyes turned to worry.
"Come in and change your clothes quickly. Why didn't you wait until the rain subsided before coming in?" Xia Yue quickly pulled Qu Wanwan into the house.
Feng Yao and the others also woke up. When they saw Qu Wanwan appear, soaked in rain, Feng Yao immediately went to find a dry cloth.
The rain this morning was so heavy that an umbrella was not enough to keep us dry.
Qin Yeting then poured Qu Wanwan a cup of hot water.
Qu Wanwan didn't have time for pleasantries; she took out the Sacred Gu she had hidden on her person and handed it to Xia Yue.
"This is a new sacred Gu that I obtained from the High Priest. Take it back and use it to remove the Gu from Aunt Feng. You should leave as soon as possible and avoid causing any disturbance in the Witch Kingdom. The more discreet you are, the better," Qu Wanwan earnestly instructed.
Xia Yue was very grateful. She knew how precious the Sacred Gu was, and Qu Wanwan must have gone to great lengths for it.
"Thank you!" Xia Yue said solemnly.
Feng Yao, still somewhat unwilling to give up, said, "Are you really not coming with us? Once we return to Country A, or go to China, the Wu Kingdom won't be able to stop us anymore."
“Fool, I am the princess of the Witch Kingdom. Just because of this identity, I cannot leave at will.”
Besides, I have already promised the High Priest that I will remain in the shrine forever, as a saintess, until the day I die.
Qu Wanwan's voice was calm yet resolute.
She knew this path would be difficult, but having made the choice, she would continue on it as always.
When Feng Yao heard that Qu Wanwan wanted to be a saintess forever, his face stiffened and turned ashen.
He thought about it for a long time last night and finally convinced himself that Qu Wanwan was just going to be a saint for ten years.
At worst, he can wait for her for ten years. He's still young and can afford to wait.
But Qu Wanwan is determined to be a saint for life, which means that there is truly no possibility for them anymore.
Feng Yao was truly desperate.
"Can't I go back on my word? Why does it have to be for a lifetime? Even if you were a saint for only twenty years, we would still have a chance..." Feng Yao's voice trembled.
He still had a sliver of hope.
But now, that bit of luck is gone too.
"Ah Yao, I know you can't let go, but this is fate, and we have to learn to accept it."
I've made up my mind, and I hope you can think positively too. I'll pray for you under the sacred tree, hoping you'll marry soon, have children, and live a happy life.
Qu Wanwan remained as relaxed and calm as ever.
Feng Yao was unwilling to give up. He said directly to Xia Yue, "Sister, you go first. I will stay. I will go to see the Witch King and the priest. I will show the utmost sincerity and offer the most generous betrothal gifts to propose marriage!"
"Smack!"
No sooner had Feng Yao finished speaking than Qu Wanwan slapped him across the face without hesitation.
"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! I am the undisputed saintess. If people find out that I am entangled with you, my fate will not be to marry you, but to be burned at the stake. Do you understand?" Qu Wanwan said expressionlessly.
Feng Yao was completely dumbfounded!
He never expected things to turn out this way.
He dared not speak again, but looked at Qu Wanwan cautiously, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Qu Wanwan was equally reluctant, but she had no other choice.
She continued speaking to Feng Yao, "Forget about me."
Just then, the torrential rain that had been falling all morning suddenly stopped.
The world became quiet, the sky brightened, and the dark clouds dispersed.
But along with them came a group of elite guards, as well as the high priest and the junior priestess, Wuli.
Wu Li was also holding a red wooden box in his hands.
Upon seeing this, he immediately smashed the wooden box on the ground, and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum inside fell out.
Wu Li angrily questioned, "Miss Dongxing, your name isn't Dongxing, it's Xiayue, isn't it? You've been lying to me all along!"
Xia Yue knew that she wouldn't be so easily fooled by the people of the Divine Palace.
Although there are no cameras here, there are many informants.
She has been under surveillance the whole time.
Qu Wanwan also looked at the distance in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Priest, so you already knew?"
"Rest assured, I will not take back the sacred Gu I gave you," the priest replied calmly, then looked at Xia Yue and the others. "Friends from afar, now that you have come to the Divine Palace, why don't you greet me, the master of the Divine Palace, first? Isn't that rather impolite?"
Xia Yue's expression was complicated, and she was about to step forward to explain.
Qin Yeting stood in front of her and said loudly, "I'm sorry, High Priest, this situation is special. I've heard that your country's Sacred Gu is very precious and is never lent out, so I could only come up with this method."
To show their sincerity in apologizing, Qin's Herbal Medicine will offer a 30% discount on all medicinal herbs sold in Malay this year, benefiting the people of Malay.
"President Qin truly lives up to his reputation as the head of the Qin Group; he is very responsible and has great courage," the priest said quietly, his tone devoid of emotion.
Qin Yeting smiled slightly, responding with ease, "I have another gift to give to Your Excellency."
