However, they could not admit that these holy artifacts were stolen by Shi Miao and his men.
Because Count Dracula forwarded Shi Miao’s Weibo immediately, saying that these were just a small apology that their family wanted to express to the outside world.
If they dared to say that these were theirs, Count Dracula would certainly not mind producing more evidence to prove the past cooperation between the church and their family, which would only make their already bad reputation worse.
They finally understood that Shi Miao had done it on purpose. Another thing that frightened them was that they had used many methods to protect their property, but Shi Miao was still able to take it away without alerting anyone, which meant that she could also take the lives of any of them at any time.
Even if they told the truth, without proof, people wouldn't necessarily believe them. After all, Shi Miao had such a good reputation, she was like the perfect confidant in many people's hearts. In the minds of her followers, would Shi Miao do such a thing? It was impossible! Besides, she still had to use the money for someone else.
Damn it, it's really infuriating. They suffered a huge loss, and Shi Miao took all their reputation.
So they got angry for a bit, then logged out of their account and pretended they didn’t see it.
Of course, although they tried hard to act blind, many believers recognized the holy artifacts and left comments under Shi Miao's account.
"That dagger, why does it look like a holy relic? The church has exhibited it before, I remember it clearly."
[Not only the dagger, but that gem is also a holy artifact! How can you auction a holy artifact? This is blasphemy!]
There was no need for Shi Miao to respond to these questioning voices, as the navy arranged by the Bruch family was already in place.
[The church gave the cross to the Dracula family, so wouldn't it be normal for them to give other holy relics as well?]
If these holy vessels were in the hands of the church, they might even be used for profit. Now they are used for charity to help those in need. Even if God knew, he would approve.
I don't trust other people's charitable foundations, but I do. My neighbor's sister, thanks to Shi Miao, successfully completed college and found a great job, which changed her life forever. This money will surely change the lives of many more people. That's wonderful.
If the church had any objections, they would have come out and sought justice. Why didn't they speak out? Don't they want to?
The attention of netizens worldwide has shifted to the auction of the sacred artifact, and many wealthy individuals are eager to make a move. This is a legendary sacred artifact, highly collectible. Possessing it is also a symbol of their status, so they are all sharpening their knives and preparing the auction funds. In fact, if Shi Miao is willing to auction the magic weapon he made, they are also willing to pay a high price to buy it.
Shi Miao simply posted a Weibo announcement about the incident, and left matters related to the auction to her mother Wen Ying.
Compared to these trivial matters, she was more concerned about Ji Jingyao's current condition.
As the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, Ji Jingyao practiced the Great Light Sect's techniques in this life, but he clearly hadn't abandoned the techniques of his previous life. This was evident from his ability to wield the power of Fiery Fire and Darkness with ease.
Using Fierce Fire before was fine... Fierce Fire wasn't a magic spell exclusive to the demons; Shi Miao and Yun Hua Yin could also use it. It was mainly because it was so effective against those with deep sins. To her, magic didn't have a good or evil distinction; it all depended on the purpose of its use.
But the power of darkness can only be learned by practicing the magic techniques.
When Ji Jingyao used this power, it was inevitable that he would trigger the evil power that he had been suppressing.
However, she could also understand why Ji Jingyao used his magic. After all, no matter how much his cultivation improved in this life, it was still far inferior to the accumulation of his previous life. Facing those ancestors, he still couldn't do it with ease. Only by using the magic of his previous life could he achieve the effect of crushing them.
The effect was indeed very good. Those ancestors didn't even have time to resist and were easily devoured, which perfectly demonstrated his strength and served as a warning to others. The vampires abroad have now completely become docile.
She looked at Ji Jingyao in front of her. His face was still the same, but his temperament had undergone some subtle changes. He became cold, arrogant, gloomy, and weird... These temperaments intertwined together, allowing people to vaguely glimpse the tip of the iceberg of his previous life.
He'd always maintained a good balance between his past and present lives, prioritizing his current life over his past. But now it seemed... the situation might be reversed. Alas, it was all the fault of those vampire ancestors! No, the main culprit was probably the former Demon Lord Qin Luo. If it weren't for him, the rift between the two worlds wouldn't have appeared so quickly.
"Are you okay?" Shi Miao walked up to Ji Jingyao with mixed feelings.
Ji Jingyao lowered his eyes, as if trying not to look at Shi Miao. His cold voice seemed to distance them, a deliberately disguised aloofness. "I'm fine, you don't have to come over."
After the power of darkness devoured the five ancestors, the power of the previous life that was originally barely suppressed was instantly destroyed, and the personality formed in this life was shattered under such an impact.
Whether in his past life or this life, he loves Shi Miao.
But Ji Jingyao will respect Shi Miao's thoughts. No one will be closer to her than him. He has a long time to wait, using the method of boiling a frog in warm water.
As for the Demon Lord, his nature is plunder. When he loves someone, he wants to get that person, even if it means using any means.
Shi Miao was too close to him. Surrounded by her aura, it was easy to stir up the desire and violence deep within his heart. He didn't want Shi Miao to dislike him.
