“Holy Maiden, I observe your face. Although you possess the potential for immortality, you lack the destiny to attain it.”
This means you had the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation and attain immortality.
However, due to his vain nature and pursuit of worldly riches and glory, he gradually lost his true self.
Sheng Wanwan paused here, then carefully observed Hua Shang's face before continuing, "Your face shows that you have done many things that violated the principles of the immortal sect because of your personal desires and vanity."
These actions not only deprive you of the opportunity to cultivate immortality, but also cause you to be abandoned by the immortal sects.
The sins you committed are already showing in your own body!
You are burdened by countless vengeful ghosts and spirits. Don't think that just because you have powerful magic, you can escape their revenge!
You won't live more than three days!
Sheng Wanwan said with a smile.
Since the light of merit repaired her soul, her cultivation has advanced further, and her mind has become clearer.
The forgotten arts of physiognomy and fortune-telling returned to her mind.
Therefore, she can now see the fate of everyone in the room if she wants to.
Upon hearing this, Hua Shang's expression changed drastically, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She had thought her past had been buried by time, but she never expected that this seemingly weak little girl could see through her past.
She tried to remain calm, but her voice still trembled slightly: "What...what are you saying? I don't understand?"
Sheng Wanwan smiled slightly and said in a childish voice, "Holy Maiden Sister, appearances don't lie. There's a faint black aura emanating from your forehead, which is a sign that your immortal destiny has been severed and that a vengeful ghost is coming to claim your life."
You won't live more than three days!
The ministers below were stunned by Sheng Wanwan's words. There was no way around it; when Sheng Wanwan spoke, she exuded an inexplicable confidence that made them have no choice but to believe her.
Is that even possible? How could such a tiny child accurately foresee someone else's fate?
However, if this were true, that would be great. If the Holy Maiden of the Great Liang Kingdom really couldn't live past three days, then the Great Liang Kingdom would no longer be a threat!
Hua Shang could no longer hide her inner turmoil. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her agitated emotions.
"Little girl, stop talking nonsense. I am the Holy Maiden of the Great Liang Kingdom. How could I have committed murder? Besides, I have boundless magical power and the ability to summon wind and rain and command demons and ghosts! What can a few little devils do to me?"
"Holy Maiden, do you really have such great power? Can you summon wind and rain? If you have such power, why has the Great Liang Kingdom suffered from disasters for several years? Wouldn't it have been enough for you to perform a ritual? Why would you need to come to our Great Yan Kingdom to borrow grain?"
Sheng Wanwan looked at Hua Shang with a smile, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
Hua Shang was rendered speechless by Sheng Wanwan's barrage of questions, her face turning pale and then red, clearly indicating that she had been hit where it hurt.
She truly lacked the power to command the wind and rain, nor could she single-handedly reverse the disaster in the Great Liang Kingdom. She knew this better than anyone. However, as a holy maiden, she could not admit her incompetence, much less allow herself to be exposed by a little girl in public.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about! I naturally have my own considerations and arrangements!" Hua Shang retorted, trying to appear calm.
"Hehehe... How about a contest between you and me, sister? How about we compete in praying for rain? The wager is grain! If I lose, Uncle Emperor will give you 100,000 shi of grain so you can report back."
"If you lose, leave your giant python behind; Wanwan wants to eat snake meat!"
As Sheng Wanwan spoke, her eyes gleamed as she stared intently at the large python coiled at the entrance of the main hall. A trickle of saliva even escaped from the corner of her mouth.
"Wanwan..."
Si Nantian was somewhat uneasy; that was 100,000 shi of grain! If it were exported, the people of the Great Yan Kingdom would face a food shortage crisis!
"Uncle Emperor, don't worry! Wanwan is much stronger than that older sister! She's no match for me! After I win, I'll treat everyone to snake meat!"
Sheng Wanwan smiled and waved to Si Nantian.
Upon seeing this, Si Nantian nodded.
The ministers were alarmed. The emperor was actually indulging a child's mischief. Had he really gone mad with worry?
They all stepped forward to offer their advice, but Si Nantian stopped them!
"Pray for rain? You really want to compete with me in praying for rain?"
Hua Shang was delighted to hear this. Although she didn't have enough magic power to summon a large-scale rain, she could still manage a light drizzle.
She refused to believe that the little baby in front of her could be more capable than her!
"What? Saintess, are you afraid to gamble?" Sheng Wanwan looked at Hua Shang with a smile, her tone full of provocation.
Hua Shang was enraged. When had she, the Holy Maiden of the Great Liang Kingdom, ever been provoked like this? "Let's bet! Who's afraid of who!"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wanwan smiled even more brightly. She turned to Si Nantian and said, "Uncle Emperor, may I borrow your Imperial Garden for a moment?"
Si Nantian nodded in agreement, and the group moved to the Imperial Garden.
Sheng Wanwan and Hua Shang stood on opposite sides, while the surrounding ministers held their breath, anticipating this unprecedented competition.
Hua Shang started first. She muttered incantations and made swift hand gestures. Soon, a light rain began to fall from the clear sky.
As soon as the rain started, the envoys from the Great Liang Kingdom cheered.
Some envoys from the Great Liang Kingdom have even begun to kowtow to the Holy Maiden. Someone who can summon wind and rain is practically no different from an immortal!
Their holy maiden is indeed formidable; she is certainly not someone a little baby could compare to.
When the civil and military officials of the Great Yan Kingdom saw that Hua Shang had successfully prayed for rain, they all clenched their fists in tension!
I don't know what got into the Emperor, that he actually let a baby compete against the Holy Maiden of the Great Liang Kingdom, and even used 100,000 shi of grain as a bargaining chip.
This is simply treating the dignity and livelihood of the Great Yan Kingdom as a joke! If they lose, the Great Yan Kingdom will become a laughing stock of the world, and those 100,000 shi of grain will undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Great Yan Kingdom, which has just experienced a disaster.
While everyone watched Sheng Wanwan with different thoughts, some nervous, some worried, and some expectant, Sheng Wanwan remained unperturbed, simply standing there quietly, waiting for Hua Shang to complete her spell.
The light rain gradually stopped, and Hua Shang looked smugly at Sheng Wanwan, "Little girl, it's your turn."
Sheng Wanwan smiled slightly, nodded, and then slowly walked to the center of the arena. She didn't start immediately, but closed her eyes, as if concentrating and calming herself. Everyone looked at her, and saw that her little face was full of calm and confidence, completely unlike a little girl who was just over one year old.
A moment later, Sheng Wanwan opened her eyes and began to draw talismans in the air with her spiritual power while chanting incantations. Her voice was clear and firm, and as the talisman was completed, Sheng Wanwan raised her hands.
The clouds began to gather rapidly in the sky, and the sky gradually darkened.
