Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
Well!
She wanted to use the conch shell and golden pearl given to her by her cheap boss Fu Huan to fool the mermaids guarding the Deep Sea Ruins and leave the Deep Sea Ruins without bloodshed.
I never expected to be called a junior priest by these mermaids!
Does this mean the Deep Sea Ruins will belong to her from now on?
Can she freely travel to Earth via the Deep Sea Ruins?
This is a great deal... a good opportunity to take advantage of it.
Ptooey!
What a load of rubbish! She still needs to save her baby!
Jiang Si stood ramrod straight, chin slightly raised, and with a poised posture, she raised her hand adorned with the golden conch shell behind her back. Her voice was clear and resonant: "I will protect the Merfolk for thousands of years, ensuring their eternal existence. You continue to guard the entrance to the Deep Sea Ruins. I'm going to the Merfolk to see the people I've protected!"
The burly, strong merman at the head bowed respectfully and said, "High Priest, please proceed to the sacrificial hall to receive the worship and offerings from the merman race!"
Offering sacrifices?
worship?
Aren't these the privileges that can only be enjoyed after death?
Now, as long as the charlatan is alive, he can enjoy himself?
Jiang Si coughed lightly, determined to continue her charlatan act: "Child, I come from the deep sea and have lived for ten thousand years. I want to see first whether the people I am about to protect are gentle and kind, and worthy of my protection."
"Sending me to the sacrificial temple now is like blinding me, making me see only the beautiful side of the world under the sun, and not the sadness in the shadows."
“This… is not in accordance with my mission. If you insist on sending me back to the sacrificial hall to receive offerings, I will have no choice but to return to the Deep Sea Ruins and will never come back!”
After finishing, Jiang Si gave herself a mental thumbs up. No wonder she's lived so long; she can handle any role. A charlatan? A piece of cake!
The burly, strong merman at the head of the group hurriedly and respectfully said, "Priest, please calm down. Please forgive my slip of the tongue and my impetuousness. As the guardian of the merman race, it is only right that you, Priest, look after the people you protect."
"Please bless us, High Priest! We will continue to protect the Deep Sea Ruins, the resting place of the Merfolk!"
Does this mean she's not allowed to go to the sacrificial hall?
May she bless you?
How do charlatans bestow blessings upon others?
Jiang Si's eyes darted around: "Come forward!"
The burly, strong merman, standing on his knees, slowly approached Jiang Si.
Jiang Si looked at the burly, strong merman surrounded by seaweed, reached out, and touched his brow, channeling her healing spiritual energy into his brow through her hand.
The burly, strong male merman felt much better; the scales on his tail below his waist were brighter, and he swayed more powerfully.
Ten seconds later, Jiang Si withdrew her hand, and the other mermaids surrounding her stepped forward.
She infused each of the mermaids with healing and spiritual energy.
In the eyes of the mermaid, this input is a blessing.
After bestowing the blessing, Jiang Si, in order to continue her charlatanry to the fullest extent, generously took out the pearl that Cangying had given her; a mermaid had given her a black pearl.
The large, round black pearls were placed in the mermaids' hands. The mermaids were overjoyed to receive such a treasure. They all bowed and thanked Jiang Si with utmost respect: "Thank you for the blessing and reward from the Junior High Priest. May the Junior High Priest enjoy boundless blessings and live a long and prosperous life!"
This blessing, this expression of gratitude, is very much like an illegal assembly, a brainwashing activity by an illegal organization.
"I heard your blessings!" Jiang Si said calmly. "I'm going to the Mermaid Clan. You all protect the Deep Sea Ruins well. The Sea God and the Heavenly God will protect you!"
The mermaids around her made way, saying, "Please take care, High Priestess. We respectfully see you off!"
Ginger shreds were tossed out of Lingxi.
Lingxi transformed into a giant snake tens of meters long, its dark scales shimmering in the deep sea.
Jiang Site arrogantly stepped onto the tip of Lingxi's tail and landed on its enormous head. Standing on its head, under the gaze of many mermaids, she left the Deep Sea Ruins...
The mermaids watched her depart, as if witnessing a miracle, their eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and reverence for the High Priestess.
Once the ginger shreds were out of sight, the strongest and most robust merman said, "The Junior High Priest has been born. Quickly inform the High Priest and summon the merman race."
The other merman: "Yes!"
Before Jiang Si could swim ashore from the seabed, the High Priest of the Merfolk learned that a junior priest had emerged from the Deep Sea Ruins. At the same time, the High Priest of the Merfolk also received a message from the Deep Sea Merfolk, instructing him to deliver all the major events that had occurred in the Abel Galaxy over the past two years.
The sacrificial hall issued an official announcement to the entire mermaid race: "The Lesser High Priest has emerged from the deep sea and come to the mermaid race. He is not in the sacrificial hall, but has come to the mermaid community. He is among us, and we can all see him and receive his blessings!"
As soon as the official announcement was released, the Merfolk's official website instantly became a trending topic: "What?! Our High Priest has appeared! He's appeared from the Deep Sea Ruins! He didn't go to the Temple of Sacrifice, but came to the Merfolk. That means if I go out for a stroll now, I might just run into him!"
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what the announcement from the temple told us: don't stay at home if you don't have to, go out and move around more often, and maybe you'll run into the junior priest and get his blessing!"
"My God, no wonder the High Priest hasn't appeared for so many years. He was waiting for the Junior Priest! Oh my god, I'm so glad to see the High Priest and the Junior Priest praying to the heavens together in my lifetime!"
"Pah, pah, pah! No, no, in my lifetime, I can't believe I've encountered the High Priest among a vast school of fish and been blessed by him!"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I want to know if our High Priest is male or female, and what color is his tail?"
"The Lesser Priest is the messenger of the heavenly god and the sea god. What does it matter what kind of tail it has? Maybe it only has two legs. Don't be bound by your own imagination. Let your minds wander. Legend has it that both the Lesser Priest and the High Priest can transform into seventy-two different forms!"
"I've never heard of this legend. They can be male or female, male or female? I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me."
"Yes, yes, I think I've seen it somewhere before. Why don't you guys go look for it? I'll go out and try my luck. If I run into the High Priest, I'll be in luck."
“I’ll go too, I’ll go too. I’ll go for a stroll in the sea first, and after that, I’ll stroll on land. I don’t believe I won’t run into the High Priest.”
Such a major event has occurred among the Merfolk, causing great excitement among their own people and prompting other countries to rush to report on it. Congratulations to the Merfolk for having a junior priest.
The official response was congratulations, but netizens from different countries expressed different opinions and comments.
Zerg Starfather: "I wonder if the Merfolk's Lesser Priest tastes good? Is it sweeter than other Merfolk blood and flesh?"
Zerg Starfather: "What do you mean by 'few priests' or 'not many priests'? For us, it's all about whether it tastes good or not, whether it's edible or not."
"Sigh. Ever since Princess Consort of the Troia Empire died, I feel that even if I can buy natural fruits and vegetables, they don't taste the same. I wonder if there's something wrong with my sense of touch and taste. I miss Princess Consort of the Troia Empire!"
Federation Star Friend: "Priest, Priest, the Merfolk Fourth Civilization loves to do these mystical things. What is a Priest? What is blessing? As a person, you have to rely on yourself in everything. Don't think about taking shortcuts. Where are the shortcuts you can take?"
Federal Star Friend: "I agree with what the person upstairs said. If there really are gods, heavenly gods, and sea gods, they are too busy taking care of themselves to care about others."
"The so-called high priests, minor priests, great shamans, prophets, and national guardian beasts of various countries are all gimmicks created by rulers to exploit the ruled. There are no gods; they are all fabricated by the rulers and are just deceptive tricks."
Orc Star Friend: "Upstairs, it's okay if you're not well-educated, no one will blame you, but I still want to remind you once again that you should have a sense of awe as a human being, otherwise you are no different from an animal."
Orc Starfather: "I agree with what our people say: it is not shameful to have a sense of awe, to have awe for nature, to have awe for other people's legends, to have awe for other people's customs, and to respect others."
“Those who lack reverence and do not respect anything will get into trouble. When trouble comes, no one will help them or ask about their situation. Therefore, those people in the Federation should be careful. Unexpected events and surprises are unpredictable, so it's best to proceed with caution.”
A friend from the Troia Empire said, "The Merfolk's High Priestess has suddenly appeared. When will our little princess appear? Anyway, I won't believe she's dead until the authorities issue an official announcement of her death."
Troia Empire Star Friend: "The person upstairs is right. I don't believe our little princess is dead, so even if the official announcement of her death is issued, I will not believe it."
"I believe that one day, or in the near future, we will see her live stream again. She will appear in front of the public and announce to the entire Abel Galaxy that she has returned."
Jiang Si, whom the Troia Empire's star friends longed for, was still sailing in the sea. The waters of the Deep Sea Ruins were too deep, as if she couldn't swim to the top.
Lingxi swam and swam until she released Jiang Dandan, which then leaped out of the water with a splash. Once out of the water, she opened her personal computer and discovered the past day.
The endless sea was nowhere to be seen, its beginning and end unseen, and there were no mermaids or people to be seen either. Jiang Si sat cross-legged on Lingxi's head.
Jiang Dandan hovered above her head: "My lovely and charming auntie, have we returned to the Abel Galaxy?"
Jiang Si nodded: "Yes, my cowardly, timid, and spineless nephew!"
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Saying things is one thing, but why resort to personal attacks?
Even though it has thick scales, it still has a sense of shame and a heart, okay!
Jiang Dandan whined and hovered in front of her, saying in a fawning manner, "My lovely and charming auntie, let's contact Daddy."
"Let Dad assemble a large army, attack the Federation, and take down the bad guys before Big Baby comes back. Once Big Baby returns, our family can be reunited."
After rescuing the older cub, Uncle Dog also brought the younger cub back, and the family was reunited. Overjoyed, the father immediately declared that the older cub was the heir to the Troya Empire, and that the younger cub was no longer needed.
Hahaha, it will soar through the skies and roam the seas, flying high among the stars and traversing the universe, becoming the ultimate Sea Dragon King, invincible and unrivaled.
Jiang Si reached out and flicked Jiang Dandan's forehead: "Saving Dazai is my business. What does it have to do with your father? Don't forget, your father is the emperor of a country, responsible for 3 billion people in the empire. How can he act rashly?"
Her brother, the Emperor, treated her exceptionally well. She was the kind of person who would repay kindness with kindness and retaliate against unkindness with unkindness.
It's that simple and straightforward, so one big kid is enough for her.
Jiang Dandan stretched out her little paws and rubbed her forehead, looking aggrieved and whimpering: "My lovely and charming auntie, you have to believe Daddy. Daddy is responsible for the 3 billion people of the empire, and Daddy is also responsible for you."
"Don't try to shoulder everything yourself. You need to learn to find someone to rely on. Your support is your father, the handsome and dashing Emperor of the Troia Empire, my father!"
This is definitely His Majesty's biological son.
Look, that sweet, babyish voice calling for Daddy, it's so lovely, it melts my heart.
“Come here!” Jiang Si patted her leg: “Let’s take a look at the Federation and see what kind of country it is.”
Jiang Dandan obediently landed on her lap, nestled in Jiang Si's arms, and together they looked at the quantum computer, at everything about the Federation.
The Federation is a federal state with a presidential republican system of government. It implements a political system that combines the separation of powers with checks and balances, and a two-party system. It has a parliament, and its members have considerable power.
Unlike the Troia Empire, which is based on star systems, the Federation is based on planets. They have a total of 38 administrative planets with a population of 4 billion, which is 1 billion more than the Troia Empire.
The 4 billion people are scattered across 38 administrative and residential planets. Each planet has a very small population, with the most populated planets being the capital planet and the industrial planet.
The nearest planet between the Federation and the Merfolk is only 8 hours away by ship, called Edge Star, which has a permanent population of 5.8 million!
"Auntie!" Jiang Dandan tilted her head and looked up at her, exclaiming, "Based on the distance between the Abel Galaxy and Earth, Da Zai Zai and the others haven't even traveled one-third of the way yet!"
"You're not looking for Daddy, so let's go to the Federation. But we don't know which planet the bad guys are on in the Federation. If we cause a huge commotion and anger the bad guys, they might escape in their spaceship to meet Big Baby, and we'll be in a passive position!"
Jiang Si lowered her eyes and looked at the cute little dragon Jiang Dandan tilting its head. She reached out and pinched its chubby little face: "Jiang Dandan, you scheming dragon, all you've been saying is that you want me to tell your father that I'm back, and then your father will find your dog dad and have him gather the ten legions and have people block all the star entrances leading out of the Abel system."
"Even if you and I cause chaos in the Federation, as long as your dog father blocks the exits from the various stars that Abel cares about, the bad guys won't be able to get out, right?"
Ginger Egg, with its soft, white face, seemed oblivious to the pain of being pulled, baring its tiny milk teeth as it said, "Yes, my lovely and charming auntie, don't be so silly and try to carry everything yourself. You need to learn to use my dog dad like a tool!"
"Anyway, he's shameless enough as a child, so why not use him? Don't be stupid, don't try to carry everything yourself. You have to learn to rely on others when you have them, and only rely on yourself when you're desperate. Now, we have to use him like a spinning top, and whip him around!"
