Chapter 163 Xinxia also has her own little thoughts
Candlelight flickered in the sacred temple of the Parthenon.
The Silver Moon Knight knelt on one knee and reported everything that happened in Croatia with a trembling voice.
"How dare you!" Great Sage Merola slammed the crystal armrest, shattering it, sending fragments flying everywhere. "A mere Eastern wizard dares to disrespect my Parthenon!"
Temple Mother Pamixi said calmly, "Merola, haven't you always been against Ye Xinxia being the Saint's replacement? Isn't this exactly what you want?"
The great sage's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
She opposed Ye Xinxia becoming a saint precisely because her identity would hinder her plans!
Whether it is the temple guardian knights or the attention of various forces, the plan to seize the Parthenon Soul will become extremely difficult!
But now that Ye Xinxia has been taken away, the situation has become even worse!
"I do oppose allowing an ordinary maid to become a saint," Merola said, suppressing her anger, "but this does not mean that outsiders can trample on the majesty of the Parthenon at will!"
"Wang Feng is Ye Xinxia's brother and her guardian." Pamishi said calmly.
"He agreed to let Ye Xinxia come to the Parthenon because we promised her safety. But you sent her to Croatia to treat the epidemic?"
"That's a place where even senior waitresses were infected. Isn't it normal for him to be angry?"
She looked up at Melora and said calmly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Wang Feng is a member of the Chinese parliament and has made outstanding contributions. If you want to touch him, you'd better think about how to explain it to China first."
Merola sneered: "When did the Parthenon need to consider the attitude of a country?"
"It's up to you." Pamishi smiled slightly and said no more.
Melora's expression shifted from gloomy to bright, and she finally snorted coldly, "Since Ye Xinxia has passed the trial and saved Croatia, she's the fourth Saint according to the agreement. But she was your nominee, so you're responsible for bringing her back!"
Pamixi raised an eyebrow: "Weren't you firmly against it before?"
"As a great sage, I always keep my word!" Melora waved her sleeves and left.
Pamisi looked at her back, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and then called out: "Tisu, come here."
…
Presidential Suite at the Victoria Hotel, Venice.
The morning light streamed into the room through the French windows. Ye Xinxia snuggled in Wang Feng's arms, her cheek pressed against his strong chest, and listened quietly as he recounted the truth about why the Parthenon had chosen her.
As Wang Feng continued to narrate, her breathing became more and more rapid.
When she heard the most crucial part, she sat up suddenly, not even noticing that the quilt had slipped off, her fair skin shone with a pearly luster in the morning light.
"Brother Wang Feng, you mean..." Ye Xinxia's voice trembled.
"My father is Wentai, the Son of the Parthenon? And I have the soul of the Parthenon within me?"
"That's right. The real reason you couldn't walk as a child was because your fragile body couldn't bear the weight of two souls."
Ye Xinxia's pupils shrank slightly. This truth that overturned her cognition left her speechless for a moment.
"And the fundamental reason why the great sage Merola wanted to seize the Parthenon soul in your body was because of Izhisha, your aunt." Wang Feng continued.
"She, isn't she dead?" Ye Xinxia said.
"Heh, it's just a fake death. How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly die, and still be stored in the Goddess Palace?"
"And she has been dead for so many years, but no new goddess has been elected. What do you think is the fundamental reason?" Wang Feng sneered.
"Are you waiting for me?" Ye Xinxia replied, pursing her lips.
"Smart." Wang Feng stood up, a meaningful smile on his face. "I'm just waiting for you to come of age, for you to return to the Parthenon, and then - prepare a grand Dark Inquisition for you!"
Just like what they did to Wen Tai back then, they used the most cruel method to deprive him of his soul!
Ye Xinxia's face turned pale instantly, but in her clear eyes, complex emotions surged like a tide.
There was shock and fear, but more of it was an indescribable determination.
After a long time, she slowly raised her face, the confusion in her eyes had faded away, replaced by an unprecedented determination.
"Brother Wang Feng, I..." Her voice was soft but firm, "I want to return to the Parthenon. I want to become the goddess of the Parthenon!"
She raised her face, a hopeful glint in her eyes: "Is it okay?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Wang Feng raised his eyebrows. "They are all staring at the spirit in you with eager eyes."
Ye Xinxia suddenly smiled, her smile like a lily blooming in the morning light.
She lifted the hair from her ear and smiled charmingly yet innocently, "Because Brother Wang Feng will protect me, right?"
Wang Feng chuckled softly, and his warm palm gently stroked her slender waist, the touch as delicate and warm as the finest mutton-fat jade.
"Of course. But." His thumb gently rubbed her waist. "I'm curious, why did you suddenly have this idea?"
"Because—" Ye Xinxia's eyes flickered slightly, her voice soft but revealing an unprecedented determination.
"I don't want to be a little girl who can only hide behind you forever. I want to be someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."
She raised her face slightly, her fair face looked exceptionally clear in the sunlight, but there was an undying flame burning in her eyes.
"Besides, as long as the Parthenon spirit is still in me, this disaster will never be avoided."
She clenched her fingertips lightly, her voice low and firm, "Since there's no way around it, why not—let me take control of this situation!"
Wang Feng chuckled, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
He tightened his arms around her slender waist, almost embedding her whole body in his arms.
"Since you want to do it, then go for it. The Parthenon—" Wang Feng raised the corners of his lips slightly, "With me here, they can't turn the tables."
Ye Xinxia's eyebrows curved, and like a satisfied kitten, she rubbed his neck affectionately.
"Thank you, Brother Wang Feng~"
Wang Feng glanced at the time and whispered in Ye Xinxia's ear, "Xinxia, it's time for morning exercises~"
"Hmm~"
…
It was not until noon that Wang Feng lazily pushed open the door.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I was met with a resentful gaze.
Lingling was puffing out her cheeks and staring at him like a kitten with its fur standing on end, her eyes full of accusations.
"Hey, what happened to our little Lingling?" Wang Feng raised his eyebrows playfully, "Is there something on my face?"
"The flowers aren't blooming," Lingling snorted, her face puffed up. "It's just that some people are having fun."
Wang Feng chuckled when he heard this and leaned closer to her ear: "So our little Lingling can also eavesdrop?"
"Bah!" Lingling's face flushed instantly, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "It's obviously you guys who kept making trouble all night and kept me awake!"
Wang Feng suddenly realized and rubbed his chin with his slender fingers.
I indeed forgot to set up the soundproof barrier last night.
After all, he was the only one living alone in the presidential suite of the Victoria Hotel.
Even if there is a beautiful woman by his side, there will never be outsiders present.
I forgot that there is a little night owl living next door this time.
Of course, the main reason was that he didn't know that the presidential suite here was so shabby, and the sound insulation of the rooms in the suite was so poor!
