Chapter 95: Goddess
Xin Hongying leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. His warm lips brushed against her earlobe, leaving a hint of itch.
"The besiegers asked the people of Yunzhou City to make a choice: to cut off my head, or to choose the lives of all the people in Yunzhou City."
This choice was too cruel to the tyrant, and Shen Tingyu trembled all over.
In fact, she could understand that the people of Yunzhou City...just wanted to survive.
Shen Tingyu and the people looked at each other.
Boom!
An old man knelt on the muddy ground, like a domino, and all the surrounding people knelt on the ground.
"The goddess has descended from the sky. Great! Yunzhou City is saved."
"Goddess, please save us."
"Goddess, please take away the natural disasters in Yunzhou City and forgive us."
“…”
The people kept calling her "goddess" left and right, and the hopeful eyes of the people seemed to see through her. She didn't hear a word about the monsters and goblins she feared.
But her heart was even more upset, because she was not a real goddess, she was just an ordinary person.
The immortal is just an identity she disguises to protect herself.
Faced with such eager and passionate gazes, she wanted to shrink back into her doll body. Just be a rag doll that listened and watched gossip, and no one would ask anything of her.
The tyrant and the miracle doctor are both in Yunzhou City. They are both capable characters in the original novel.
They couldn't solve the epidemic and save the people of Yunzhou City, so she couldn't do it even more.
But she couldn't say that.
She couldn't let them see hope and then crush that hope, bringing them deeper despair.
Shen Tingyu's lips moved, his eyes were complicated, with fear and anxiety hidden deep in his eyes, but he spoke with great confidence: "I am the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, and I have already achieved semi-immortal status."
Snow Eagle stood on her arm. She raised her other hand and pointed outside the city: "This epidemic is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
The breeze blew across her cheeks, lifting the robe behind her. Her cold face and calm tone greatly soothed the people's despair.
The people followed her finger, looked towards the city gate, and began to curse angrily.
"What? It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster."
"But...the plague clearly came after the rainstorm."
"The goddess is right. This must be a man-made disaster. Didn't you hear what the people who were besieging the city and shooting arrows said?"
"Yes, they want us to kill...kill His Majesty."
"These beasts, in order to rebel, have abandoned the lives of the people of Yunzhou City."
“…”
The anger in the hearts of the people was suddenly aroused, and under the instigation of Shen Tingyu, the hostility was precisely directed at the person behind the disaster.
The people wanted to rush out of the city immediately, tear their flesh and blood, and pierce their throats with the arrows that shot them.
Shen Tingyu said slowly: "I came here to save Your Majesty and the people of Yunzhou City. I will end this epidemic and let everyone survive."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself on the spot.
Look at what big words she said, and a deep sense of guilt overwhelmed her.
The people were filled with joy and cried for tears.
"That's great, Dad and Mom, we are saved."
They all kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Goddess, thank you, Goddess... The people of Yunzhou City thank the Imperial Master."
The people of Yunzhou City were all thankful that they had not acted impulsively and murdered His Majesty... and committed treason.
Xin Hongying stood behind her, looking at her with deep eyes, seeing through her disguise of strength.
He moved his feet slightly, took Shen Tingyu's already stiff and cold hand, and pulled her out of the heavy encirclement of the people.
Wherever the two of them passed, everyone gave way to them, and they easily walked out of the encirclement of thousands of people.
Shen Tingyu lowered her eyelids and followed the tyrant step by step without obeying his orders. She didn't know how she walked away from the people and returned to their courtyard.
System, I can't do it, what should I do?
How can I save the people of this city? An empty lie?
A pair of big hands grabbed her shoulders and shook them gently. Shen Tingyu's heart was heavy and her face was pale.
"Calm down." Xin Hongying grabbed her shoulders, his voice extremely gentle, with a hint of fondness and heartache.
He knew that the fairy was powerless in the face of this epidemic.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble and flew thousands of miles out of Yunzhou City to find medicine and reinforcements for them.
"Let's find a solution together. You've already brought the herbs back, haven't you?"
Perhaps it was those big hands that gave her strength, or perhaps it was his words that made her feel a little more at ease.
"Oh right... there's medicine!" Shen Tingyu looked up at him, nodded seriously, and ignited a little hope.
Shortly after the city gate riot ended, Miss Bai Feng hurried towards their courtyard, but stopped outside the courtyard.
"Miss Kang, no...Goddess." Miss Bai Feng shouted, but her big hands hidden under her sleeves clenched tightly, veins exposed, and she revealed a lazy and peaceful smile.
"Or maybe I should call you the Imperial Master."
Miss Yi Han followed her breathlessly, pulling her sleeve as if to stop something.
Shen Tingyu turned around and looked at Miss Bai Feng with some confusion, then followed her figure and looked at Miss Yi Han behind her.
Like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw, she raised her little face, walked past the White Wind Girl, and came behind her.
The shining eyes of the White Wind Girl dimmed, like an unknown storm on the sea, quietly brewing and forming, but then quietly dissipating, without bringing wind and rain, without bringing rainbows, and only she herself knew its power.
Shen Tingyu took Miss Yi Han's hand and said, "Divine Doctor, have you found a way to cure the zombie blood plague?"
Miss Yi Han gasped slightly and began to struggle in her hands, "Goddess, my hand... my hand!"
Shen Tingyu suddenly realized and helplessly let go of her hand: "Sorry, I hurt you, don't call me goddess, call me..." Tingyu will be fine.
But she still didn't have the courage to say it out loud, "Just call me our teacher."
"By the way, I brought back all the herbs you need. Take a look."
It’s different now. The Imperial Master’s attitude towards the two of them is different.
Miss Bai Feng's expression changed slightly. What medicinal herbs were needed? When did their relationship become so friendly and close?
A hint of jealousy surfaced in my heart, but it quickly dissipated as I thought of something, and as always, no one knew about it.
Shen Tingyu waved to the Snow Eagle, who held the package in his mouth, flapped his wings, and placed it over the table.
Shen Tingyu was so kind that Miss Yihan was pushed to open the package and check it carefully.
"Yes, I wrote it all down. The medicinal materials are very complete. Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Master."
She had heard about the riot at the city gate today, and also about the goddess who had descended from the sky, as if she were a deity from a storybook.
It is a rumor that will save His Majesty and the people of Yunzhou City, and it is what everyone hopes for.
But now it seems that the goddess has no power to save the world.
