Five years later.
"Mother, mother!"
A fair and tender little girl with a missing tooth ran into the castle kitchen and said, "Mother! It's New Year's Day! We should go buy the Queen's divine painting!"
Ellie washed the rice, wiped the water off her hands, and then smiled and scratched the tip of the girl's nose: "Don't worry, grandpa will go buy it."
Sure enough, after a while, Ole with silver hair walked into the hall. He and the knights behind him came back carrying a bag full of divine paintings.
The girl quickly ran to the pile of divine paintings and unfolded them. On the red paper was a picture of a woman kneeling in front of a temple.
The woman was wearing black armor, her hair dancing in the wind. She had her back to the people outside the painting, her head tilted up, revealing the goose-yellow eyes on her forehead.
The woman held a black sword in her right hand, and blood was flowing from her left palm. Beside the woman, glowing goose yellow flowers continued to grow.
Wherever the yellow flowers went, the dark air in the sky dissipated, and the seriously injured creatures on the ground were healed because of those flowers.
The girl stared at the woman in the painting, and suddenly asked Ole and Ellie, "Mother! Grandfather! Is this the Goddess Queen?!"
Ole smiled and patted his granddaughter's head: "Yes!"
The girl murmured, "Why do I feel, why do I feel... that the Goddess Queen in the painting bears some resemblance to the Lady Baroness?"
Ellie and Ole's faces froze, and Ellie quickly picked up the girl: "Because they are both great and beautiful, that's why you think they look alike."
The girl no longer hesitated: "Then I want to hear the story of the Goddess Queen again!"
Ellie patted her round butt: "Okay, okay..."
"Five years ago, the evil Adventurer's Guild captured many beautiful sisters and used them to commit evil deeds... In the process, they created a lot of dirty things..."
"Later, those filthy things filled the sky. It was the Queen of Anhe Country who came with her and the people of the Demon Realm to stop them..."
"Unfortunately, there were too many filthy creatures... Everyone was helpless... At the critical moment, the queen knelt and prayed to the gods, saying that she was willing to use all her divine power to exchange for world peace..."
"Then Heaven and Earth were moved by the Queen's sincerity and granted her supreme power. Wherever the Queen went, the Divine Flower, which could dispel evil, appeared."
"It was thanks to the Goddess Flower that the disease that broke out in all countries five years ago was cured... After that, everyone made portraits of the Goddess Queen and posted them on their doors every New Year to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety."
"Wow! The Queen is so powerful! Mother, mother! Is the Queen a god?"
Ellie was stunned. She smiled helplessly: "She could have become a god, but because she wanted to use her divine power to dispel the evil spirits in the world, she..."
"In short, the Queen herself said that she is not a god."
"The Queen is clearly a god! How can she say she's not a god?"
The girl was puzzled, and Ellie didn't know how to explain it, so she stuffed a piece of dessert into her mouth and said, "Okay, eat well."
After saying that, Ellie looked up and looked towards the second floor.
When Ole saw Ellie looking up, he said, "Today is New Year's Eve. The Baroness should be back."
Ellie lowered her eyes, with some worry in her eyes. In the past five years, since the disappearance of the Demon King, the Baroness has been running to the Kingdom of Anhe every day to pray for rain in the Dragon Temple with the other demons.
Prime Minister Turtle also cried bitterly at the beginning, but fortunately the ghost princess was always with him, and he has become more cheerful in the past two years.
The only one I can't let go of is the Baroness.
"The Countess prays for rain every day, and now grass is growing in the desert."
The girl shook her hips, her eyes shining.
Ellie and Ole looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
……………………
Anhe Kingdom, Shenlong Temple.
The demon people who came to pray for rain have already left together, and Chi Sui is the only one left in the temple.
The goat leader came over with a chair in his mouth and placed it next to Chi Sui: "Queen, would you like to sleep here for a while?"
Chi Sui shook his head: "No, I have to go back to the castle tonight."
The goat chief sighed and left the temple.
Chi Sui would come here for a while every day, doing nothing but eating melon seeds and taking a nap.
Chi Sui turned around to leave, but then sighed and sat down.
She skillfully took out the melon seeds and looked at the statue in front of her that she had painted and carved by Long Xi, feeling a little dazed.
In her drawing, Long Xi was dressed in a gorgeous black brocade with gold thread, a wide robe and a jade belt, her black hair was tied up, her eyes and eyebrows were soft, and there was a smile on her lips.
Unfortunately, when Long Xi was carving, he felt that his smile lacked momentum, so he forced himself to wipe away the smile from the corner of his mouth.
Therefore, in the Shenlong Temple, the statue of Long Xi has a solemn expression, gentle eyes and brows, which has a unique charm.
Chi Sui didn't know how long she had been sitting there. She only knew that the melon seeds in her bag were gone. When she was picking up the melon seed shells, she realized that it was already dark.
"Oh, it's too late. I have to go back to eat the New Year's Eve dinner..."
Chi Sui muttered, and just as he stood up, he subconsciously spoke to the statue: "Longlong, where have you been? Uncle and aunt are almost going crazy..."
Chi Sui said this and shook his head again: "I'm not missing you, I'm just asking on behalf of my uncle and aunt."
"Look, when you prayed for rain, you were so good that it even rained. Why couldn't you talk to me?"
The dusk was falling and the rain was still falling in the sky.
Chi Sui turned his back to the statue, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a cheerful voice: "You, which world did you go to? Were you bullied? You were injured when you left. It's been five years. Have you recovered?"
