Chapter 195: Sheng Ran is the real Saint
"What? Lady Saint is the Goddess of Flowers?"
"Have you forgotten what she did on the day of the pilgrimage ceremony? She's simply a demonic woman who's been practicing evil magic and has gone astray!"
"Ms. Sheng Ran is the one who truly works for the benefit of the people and Central City. She is also a divine messenger and has powerful energy. Don't be afraid!"
Listening to the people's discussions, Sheng Jieyue's gaze swept across the crowd and finally fell on Sheng Ran.
Sheng Ran looked at her calmly and indifferently, unmoved by her identity as the God of Flowers.
"What makes you say you are the God of Flowers? Do you have any evidence?" Sheng Ran questioned with a sneer.
Sheng Jieyue just couldn't stand the way she acted like she was not afraid of anything even when her death was imminent!
Her eyes were full of resentment and jealousy, mixed with disdain.
Situ Yu, who was standing beside her, noticed that she was about to lose her temper. He held Sheng Jieyue's hand and said loudly, "She is a dignified Saint Female, the Goddess of Flowers above all people. What else does she need to prove to you? Who do you think you are?"
Situ Yu still failed to stop Sheng Jieyue. She was already furious and suddenly swung her magic staff, pointing it at Sheng Ran.
Sheng Jieyue's tone was filled with poison. "Sheng Ran, you are just a mere divine messenger, yet you have repeatedly disrespected me. Today, in the name of God, I will kill you in public to uphold the divine majesty!"
When they heard that someone was going to kill someone, the people around the street were instantly frightened and fled in panic, trying to leave the scene.
However, Sheng Jieyue had already cast a poisonous spell to block the area, and the people had no way to escape or hide, so they were forced to stay where they were.
"Even if she's strayed into evil, she's still the Holy Female recognized by the Divine Sacrifice Forum. Now she's the Goddess of Flowers, and her abilities are unimaginable!"
"Kneel down now! You will be punished if you anger the gods!"
There was a whisper among the crowd, and then the orcs were the first to kneel down.
Then more and more orcs knelt down, and densely packed figures lay on the ground with their heads buried low. No one dared to look up at Sheng Jieyue.
They once again prostrated themselves at the feet of this female, but instead of submitting willingly as before, they were filled with fear from the inside out.
They had long been frightened by the natural disasters of the past ten years and the pressure from the Holy Lady and the Prince. Faced with the wrath of God, they were left with only fear.
Sheng Jieyue looked at the scene in front of her and smiled even more proudly. She raised her hand and stroked the gem on the scepter, her voice full of boasting.
"Did you see that? Sheng Ran, this is the majesty of God! Do you think you can fight me with just a few beastly husbands? You are nothing but a lowly substitute. Today I will make you die knowingly!"
She raised her hand and held up the scepter, and the tip of the scepter condensed with golden light, ready to shoot towards Sheng Ran.
But at this moment, a steady sound of footsteps came from behind the crowd.
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a figure in a black cloak slowly walking towards them.
The hood of the cloak was blown up by the wind, revealing a face with a dark aura.
She held a dark green jade bracelet in her hand, which shone with a warm light in the sunlight, instantly suppressing the light on Sheng Jieyue's scepter.
"You said you are the God of Flowers?"
The man's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty that made all the orcs couldn't help but look up.
"Then why don't you show us the power of the God of Flowers?" she said, suddenly raising her hand to remove her hood, revealing her face, which was completely wrapped in black energy, to everyone. "For example, you can cure me, who is suffering from a poison that has penetrated my bones and is terminally ill."
When the people present saw this scene, they turned their heads away in pity.
"Who is this person?"
"Her illness is so scary! How did she contract it?"
"Look at the Saint's face! Why is she so frightened that she even dropped her scepter?"
Sheng Jieyue's face had turned pale - she didn't expect the Beast King to suddenly appear, and she didn't expect the Beast King to question her in public.
She clenched her fists and feigned composure, "Who are you? How dare you question me! Someone, take this lunatic down!"
But none of the orcs around her dared to move.
Even if they had never seen the black lines on the Beast King's face and the iconic jade bracelet, they had heard of them from the descriptions of their elders.
They are all remnants of the Poison Sect and want to save their lives, so they are unwilling to take any more risks.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Situ Yu's back. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, his whole body was trembling.
"Mother..." He stammered, his voice so soft that no one could hear.
The Beast King's eyes were filled with indifference and disappointment.
"Who am I?" The Beast King sneered, "I am the king of this beast world!"
"Back then, Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu poisoned me with the God-Eating Gu in order to seize power. They lied to the public, saying I was in seclusion practicing cultivation. The God you're talking about is nothing more than a vicious woman plotting to usurp the throne!"
The crowd exploded instantly, and the kneeling orcs looked up.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Beast King!"
"How could His Majesty the Beast King be poisoned like this?"
"Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu did all this. They are beasts in human form!"
Sheng Jieyue panicked and pointed her staff at the Beast King: "You're talking nonsense! You're fake! The real Beast King died a long time ago! You're a substitute that Sheng Ran found!"
"Whether she is a substitute or not, let her prove it." The Beast King stepped aside and looked at Sheng Ran, "Sheng Ran, come here."
Sheng Ran took a deep breath and walked to the Beast King. The Beast King raised his hand and said, "Use your herbal water and feed it to me once."
Sheng Ran immediately took out the herbal water that she had prepared long ago from her sleeve, opened the porcelain bottle, and handed it to the Beast King's mouth.
The Beast King raised her head and drank it. In just a moment, the black lines on her face faded a little, her originally bluish lips had a hint of blood color, and even her breathing became much steadier.
"Did you see that?" The Beast King's voice echoed throughout the room. "Only the power of the God of Flowers can suppress the God-Devouring Gu. If Sheng Jieyue is truly the God of Flowers, why hasn't she been able to cure my poison for ten years? Instead, she's intensified it, using the poison to control my body?"
There was an uproar in the crowd, and anger spread throughout the street.
Sheng Jieyue's face flushed red, then turned pale. She waved her hands frantically, "Don't listen to her nonsense! She's not even a Saint Female, how could she be the Goddess of Flowers? Sheng Ran is fake! She's just a messenger of God!"
"What if I say that she is the real saint?" Pei Xiaoxing suddenly walked out of the crowd, holding a golden token in his hand, shining brightly in the sun.
"On behalf of the Pei family, I obey the one we truly owe allegiance to—my wife, Sheng Ran. She is the Goddess of Flowers and the Holy Female of the Beast World. From now on, the entire Pei family will obey her."
"No! Impossible!" Sheng Jieyue took a step back suddenly, her eyes becoming crazy.
She stared at Sheng Ran as if she wanted to eat her alive.
It is true that she claimed the title of Goddess of Flowers, but the Holy Lady was clearly hers!
She had been a holy woman for over twenty years. She was the protagonist of this world. Why did Sheng Ran want to steal her things?!
Before Sheng Jieyue's roar had even finished, the Beast King spoke in a resounding voice, "Come! Capture the remnant of the Gu Du Sect, Sheng Jieyue, and the traitor Situ Yu. Kill them without mercy!"
