Chapter 219 Answer My Question
Bai Huiyue was stunned by what Wen Ling said.
Yeah, why doesn't she deal with those who made her like this? She obviously hates it so much!
Is it really as Wen Ling said, that she was afraid, she didn't dare, she didn't even dare to hate?
The expression on Bai Huiyue's face changed all the time, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. There was no trace of the arrogance he had just now.
Wen Ling simply struck while the iron was hot: "And forgive me for being blunt, based on what your Moon Tribe's Divine Religion has done, don't you have any idea whether your Divine Religion is a decent religion?
What high priest of any decent religion would molest a young girl? What decent religion would gather so many little girls together, have them do such inhuman things to them, just to select the one who looks most like the girl in the mural?
And you, the Moon Clan, brainwash and exploit your people just to satisfy the selfish desires of you superiors. Which of these things are done by a decent religion? β
At this time, Bai Huiyue's eyes on Wen Ling had completely changed. She asked in disbelief: "Why do you know all this? Did you, Dayong, investigate our Yue Kingdom?"
Wen Ling looked her straight in the eyes: "I don't need to investigate you. I can tell everything that happened to you in the past just by looking at your eyes."
Bai Huiyue was horrified. She opened her mouth slightly and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wen Ling saw that the groundwork was almost done, so she came clean: "I'm not going to tell you straight, why am I still sitting here today and patiently telling you so much?
Because I see that you still have a conscience. When you were in the Moon Kingdom, you played those princes around and provoked disputes among them.
But you also helped the little girls who were being recruited to be the next goddess, and even sacrificed yourself to prevent the high priest from touching those girls.
Even though you have done many wrong things, you are not a completely bad person. On the contrary, the eldest prince is the real heinous criminal.
That's why I'm willing to give you a chance to live. β
Human nature is complicated, and Wen Ling never convicts anyone based on one thing.
Bai Huiyue looked at Wen Ling, whose eyes were so clear that there was almost no trace of impurities in them.
She clearly wanted to kill her for her own selfish desires, but she let bygones be bygones and was willing to give her another chance.
She was sure that if Wen Ling said that he would give her another chance, it would not be a show. At this point, she didn't need to put on a show.
All the strength in Bai Huiyue seemed to be drained away at this moment. She was like a peacock whose beautiful feathers had been plucked out. She suddenly lost her energy.
She leaned weakly on the cross she was tied to. After a long silence, she asked, "What do you want to know? Just ask directly, but I can't guarantee that I will answer you completely."
Wen Ling knew that Bai Huiyue was on to something, and she curled her lips slightly: "If you are willing to tell me the truth, I will find a way to completely free you from the identity of the goddess. From now on, you may no longer have the magic power of the goddess, but you can live a life of an ordinary person with plenty of food and clothing, and live a comfortable and stable life. You can also do what you like."
With just a few words, Bai Huiyue felt as if her new life had been described clearly, and she actually began to feel a bit of yearning in her heart.
She pursed her lips: "You ask first."
Wen Ling clapped his hands, and soon a guard came up holding a wooden statue.
Wen Ling asked: "Is this statue the statue of the God King worshipped by your Yue Nation? Is he called the God King of the World? You can only respectfully address him as God King, because for some reason, you cannot directly say his real name and Dharma name?"
Bai Huiyue nodded and agreed.
Wen Ling asked again: "Has your Yue Nation arranged several people in various places in Dayong, especially in the capital, to secretly promote the Lord of the World? Who are these people, where are they, and what is your purpose?"
Bai Huiyue frowned. She seemed to be struggling for a while whether to say it or not, but finally decided to say it.
"We in the Yue Kingdom do have many missionaries lurking in various places in your Dayong. We will find the right time to offer them the statue of the Lord of the World and make a wish in order to gain the power of your faith.
The more people who believe in and worship the God pass by, the faster the God's cultivation will recover and the faster he will revive.
As for what will happen after he is resurrected, and who these people are and where they are, I really don't know. They are all in direct contact with the high priest.
In the final analysis, I am just a more useful chess piece in the hands of the high priest. β
Bai Huiyue said this with a self-deprecating smile on his face.
Wen Ling believed that she was not lying. She just knew too well what kind of existence and situation she was in, so she tried every means to come to Dayong to marry in the hope of making some changes.
"Okay, now I'll ask you one last question. If you can answer me, I will immediately do what I just promised you." Wen Ling said.
Bai Huiyue finally perked up a little, and straightened her back slightly: "Ask."
Wen Ling looked directly into Bai Huiyue's eyes, and with a slight sense of oppression, he asked in a very slow voice: "You just mentioned the revival of the Lord of the World. Do you know what else is needed for revival besides the power of faith? Does he also need a body for his soul to revive?"
Bai Huiyue's eyes suddenly widened, and she almost blurted out: "How do you even know this?"
Wen Ling only asked: "You only need to answer whether I know or not, and whether you know more about this matter."
This time Bai Huiyue was silent for a long time. Her face was very conflicted, as if she was having a conflict in her mind.
Finally she asked, "If I answer, are you sure you will really do what you promised?"
Wen Ling nodded: "Of course, I have never failed to keep my promise so far."
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Bai Huiyue took a deep breath, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly found herself unable to speak.
Her throat seemed to be strangled by a pair of hands, getting tighter and tighter, until she went from being unable to speak to being unable to breathe.
She wanted to reach out to scratch her throat, but her hands were tied. She could only make "ho ho ho" sounds from her throat, and her face was visibly getting redder and redder, until it turned purple.
Bai Huiyue was very frightened and felt like she was about to die.
It seems that itβs okay to say some other irrelevant things, but things that involve the core of the God who controls the world cannot be said.
Wen Ling knew what had happened at a glance. She quickly formed a seal with her hands and struck the goddess with it.
I saw the protective seal shattered three layers in a row with a "pa pa pa" sound, and it stopped at the fourth layer.
Bai Huiyue finally regained his breathing, gasping for air in shock.
