“You used Shiyao’s blood relatives to make deals, and only now that things have come to light do you remember Shiyao.”
"Heh, you keep saying you love Shiyao?"
"Elder, my godmother is only at the Qi Refining stage. How old is she this year? She must be over 130 years old, right? She looks only in her thirties or forties. I wonder what kind of elixir she uses to maintain her youth?"
"Second Elder, you have so many transactions with the other three realms, and you have gained so much wealth and benefits. Why don't you share some with Shi Yao?"
"Third Elder, you're closest to Shiyao and treat her well, so Shiyao won't compete with you for her woman~"
Shi Mingyi's heart trembled... The Holy Maiden even had women outside her...
He and that woman only met once every one or two months, and sometimes they wouldn't see each other for three months at a time!
"Fourth Elder, you're still interfering in the affairs of the Southern Region? Do you perhaps want to take my junior sister's position?"
"Fifth Elder..."
Li Shiyao criticized them one by one, leaving the nine elders dumbfounded. Was this really their saintess?
ah?
Is that correct?
"If you prefer to kneel, then go and greet your new master yourselves!"
"Senior Sister said that once Shiyao joins the Lingxian Palace, she only needs to kneel and pay respects to one person, and she is only allowed to kneel and pay respects to one person!"
Clearly, no one understood the stone sculpture of the saintess, nor could anyone understand Li Shiyao.
Even now, the elders could only marvel at Li Shiyao's changes or her unpredictable mood swings.
It's unclear whether the stone sculpture was actually blindfolded or simply covered by a blindfold.
"As a saintess, Shi Yao represents the face of the Holy Mountain. Yet the elders actually think this way about Shi Yao and want her to do such a thing."
"The elders don't love Shiyao, so Shiyao is going back to Lingxian Palace!"
Back to... Lingxian Palace, shall we?
"Hey, hey, Shiyao, listen to the Second Elder's explanation! It's not what you think. It was all those people who acted on their own. Why would the elders ask Shiyao to do such a lewd thing?"
The Second Elder truly felt wronged!
He may have some shady dealings, but even if he were truly insane, he would never joke about the reputation of the Holy Maiden and the Holy Mountain!
He really didn't know about this!
He simply instructed his men to prepare clothing for Li Shiyao according to the standards for receiving a lord!
Are these people's brains filled with shit?
It's an audience, not some kind of reception. Isn't it understandable that the Holy Maiden would throw a tantrum?
These people, they all deserve to die! They've got him killed!
"That would be best. Shiyao just wanted to say that Shiyao doesn't want to kneel, and Shizun won't allow Shiyao to kneel either!"
"Shiyao wants to take a bath, but when that guy arrives, he'll have to wait!"
The elders could also see that things were different now. The Holy Maiden was no longer the naive girl she once was, even though she still retained some of her former childishness.
But those were just some lingering habits, and the Holy Maiden had already taken power from their hands without saying a word.
"If you send over clothes like this again, don't blame Shiyao for throwing a tantrum at the elders!"
The elders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Shi Yao didn't bring up the matter of going back again and that she wasn't pursuing it, and they quickly echoed her sentiments!
"Don't worry, Shiyao! Old Du assures you, we'll beat that Second Elder to death when we get back!"
"Yes, Shiyao is soft-hearted. We must make him pay the price for his carelessness!"
The Second Elder was dumbfounded. If you're going to make an example of someone, why don't you kill the tailor instead?
We need to give the saintess an explanation, but we can't let her die here, can we?
Isn't this just like sacrificing a monkey to appease the heavens?
But how could she dare to talk back? Who was the Holy Maiden? She was the hope of all the elders, and now she was the second disciple personally taught by Immortal Su.
Before long, the so-called lord of the Eastern Region arrived. After all, she was a saintess, not just the saintess of the holy mountain, but the saintess of all people. Disrespecting the saintess would also have a certain impact on his rule.
As expected of a lord.
He was accompanied by more than twenty attendants, over a hundred guards, and dozens of carriages; his entourage was quite grand.
Where is Her Highness?
The lord before us is one of the three remaining lords in the Eastern Region. He commands a large army and controls the vast majority of the land, making him virtually all-powerful.
The Eastern Region is a mixed race, and humans are just one of them, making up a small percentage of the population.
The lord before them was not human, but an elven man with pointed ears.
However, in the eyes of humans, elves and demons are pretty much the same.
"The Holy Maiden is currently taking a bath; please wait a moment."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Li Shiyao walked gracefully towards them, followed by a group of maids. As she walked, she loudly conspired with the maid beside her.
"Wasn't he supposed to be a very handsome man? How come he's as skinny as a matchstick?"
Li Shiyao arrived precisely at the exact moment the Grand Elder finished speaking about taking a bath, so there was no need for the Grand Elder to continue his introduction.
Otherwise, what if he finds out?
"Hey, Your Highness, please keep your voice down! What if someone hears us?"
"Oh, sorry, but do you think this lord is actually very poor, so poor that he can't afford to eat? Look how skinny he is!"
"How could that be? This lord is the most powerful lord in our Eastern Region!"
"So what? I'm still the girl with the biggest appetite on Holy Mountain! Am I arrogant?"
Du Changsheng was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that the lord was about to grind his back teeth to pieces, he naturally apologized immediately.
"Your Highness, she..."
