Chapter 44 The Successor of the Priestess

Jing Jiu turned around and walked back to the priesthood and sat down next to the priestess.

The starlight seemed to have moved with him, and the sacrificial hall became brighter.

The water in the celadon bowl in front of the priestess emitted a glimmer of light, like a condensed glass, and a few petals slowly fluttered, without any rules.

The three girls suppressed their shock and anxiety, and knelt in front of her as the priestess's instructions.

The priestess' eyes slowly moved on their bodies, with deep and wise eyes as if they could see through them.

The three girls knew that the priestess' heirs would arise in the next moment, and they were nervous with different moods.

To their surprise, the priestess did not announce the candidate directly, but looked at Jing Jiu.

Jing Jiu asked Zhong Lizi, "Are you sure you want to be a priestess?"

Zhong Lizi understood the hidden meaning in his words and could no longer control it. He raised his head and looked at his eyes blankly, and was silent for a long time.

Jiang and Xia and Huaxi also understood that the priestess chose the heir to listen to the meaning of the boy in blue, and raised his head in shock.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhong Lizi took a deep breath as if answering the question, stared at Jing Jiu and asked, “Do you have to have a baby?”

Jing Jiu did not think about the meaning of this sentence and replied casually: "No."

Zhong Lizi's mind suddenly relaxed, her expression was like the melting ice in spring, and the flowers were in full bloom, and she said, "Then I'm going to do it."

No matter who you are, you must be the most amazing person under this starry sky. If I want to follow you, only by becoming a priestess can you be qualified?

The priestess smiled and said, "That's it."

In fact, the priestess' successor had already made a decision.

Starting from the moment Zhong Lizi decided to participate in the election.

Jing Jiu just wanted to make a final confirmation so that she would not regret it in the future.

Zhong Lizi was mentally prepared, but when he heard the priestess' words, he was still a little confused and did not reply for a long time.

Huaxi is a very smart little girl, so she naturally understands the meaning of the priestess, but she is also a little confused, thinking that it is that simple, looking at Zhong Lizi enviously and said, "Sister is so amazing."

Jiang and Xia were the calmest and happiest person, smiling at Zhong Lizi and saying, "Congratulations."

...

...

The sacrificial hall was very quiet inside and outside. Even the hundreds of thousands of people who had been caring on the grassland for a whole day remained silent, quietly looking at the magnificent building not far away, waiting for the final result.

A bishop walked out of the sacrificial hall, holding a scroll with crystal as a shaft and a gold-clad cloth in both hands, slowly unfolding.

Looking at this scene, the crowd gradually became turbulent and soon calmed down again.

The great figures, led by the Chief Executive and the Base Director, stood in the square outside the priesthood, and quietly listened to the priestess' orders with the crowd like the ocean behind him.

When people heard the name that was no longer unfamiliar, they still couldn't help but feel shocked. Is it really her?

A priestess finally appeared in the underground block!

A moment of shock followed by cheers rising into the sky.

The Chief Executive and other big figures clapped each other. Mr. Xia, who was standing in the corner, was still expressionless, but the clapping movements were obviously a little stiff.

The head of the Mo family stood further away, holding his daughter who was still crying in his arms, with a gloomy face, but a little hesitant in the depths of his eyes.

Several warships that had flew away from the surface to the edge of the atmosphere, shot out beams of light at the same time, and then kept flashing to celebrate according to the etiquette of the ancient battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks shot out from all over the surface, illuminating the night and day, and people began to revel in a carnival again.

Except for the surface, fireworks are strictly prohibited in other underground living areas, but today it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people. Even though the police department has increased its management efforts, fireworks still emerge from the steel cliffs from time to time.

Most of the blocks in Shouerer City are exposed in the sky, so naturally they don’t care. Fireworks can be seen soaring into the sky everywhere. When they are at their highest, they are even close to the height of the crust mountain range.

The canteen of the New Century College was in trouble, and all the tables and chairs fell to the ground. Many male students summoned their classmates to go to the Life Department to buy some wine to drink.

The director of the Student Affairs Office, who was in charge of discipline, was very angry and went to the principal to make an idea. The fat principal kept wiping his sweat with his handkerchief, waved his hand impatiently, and scolded: "What do you care about when you are so happy! What do you mean!"

The girl named Lu Shuiqian left the campus at some point and walked along the path between the lawn toward the woods. Her back was extremely lonely and desolate. Looking at the direction she was going, could she be... she is also a child living in an underground block?

The underground block called Minsheng has become a sea of ​​joy. The game hall owner generously announced that all online access is free today. The barbecue stall owner was carried to another block by the crowd. The ingredients left on the stall naturally became a delicious food shared by everyone. Several middle-aged men who rarely left the apartment building stood in the oven and kept greeting their neighbors. Mr. Dan was lying on the table with a large bottle of cereal spirits. He had already fallen asleep. Under the glasses pressed to one side, there were wrinkles and smiles on his face.

...

...

The entire planet, at this time, only the terrace behind the sacrificial hall is quiet.

Jing Jiu stood by the terrace railing, looking at the fireworks rising from time to time on the grassland, his face was illuminated from time to time, without any emotion.

He was not surprised by this result. Zhong Lizi participated in the priestess' election because he was guided by the bishop of the second city. The reason why that bishop did this... was naturally because Zhong Lizi was the person around him, so the priestess would naturally choose her as his successor.

The fireworks on the grassland suddenly became denser, the battleships cast beams of light and flashed even more violently, and cheers from the main entrance of the sacrificial hall soared into the sky.

I think Zhong Lizi was on the high stone steps and accepting the salutes of the great men and the people.

The priestess walked to the terrace, dared not stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and was half a step behind, and said softly: "I chose her because she is closest to you, and I think she is different."

Jing Jiu said: "You have different ideas now?"

"That child's talent is too ordinary. Whether it is practice or learning, in the days when he follows you, even if he makes rapid progress, he is not too outstanding, at least not as good as that child Jiang and Xia." The priestess' voice became even more humble and said, "I dare not doubt your vision, but she is indeed very ordinary."

Jing Jiu looked at the fireworks in the night sky and thought that no matter which firework is brighter or more beautiful, it is just a firework after all, so why bother to care about these?

The priestess continued: "I checked carefully a few days before the priesthood, and she had no blood relationship with the chairman of Yuzuri Company."

Jing Jiu said, "Yes."

"Now she is my successor, and it doesn't matter if it is exposed, but my doubts still linger."

The priestess said: "No matter whether it is appearance, demeanor, temperament, or qualifications, she is very ordinary. Her biological parents have no stories, but you are willing to show miracles on her and cure her illness... Why is this?"

Jing Jiu turned around and looked at her and said, "She is really ordinary, what does it matter?"

The priestess thought he understood what he meant, and said with emotion: "Yes, if he is a real genius, how can he need God's guidance?"

Jing Jiu said: "No, I just happened to meet her in this world. Whether she is a genius or an ordinary person, I don't care."

The priestess thought he understood what he wanted to say, smiled slightly and stepped back.

Yes, God doesn't need to care about these things.

...

...

The fireworks were too dazzling. After the lights shot from the warships passed through the atmosphere, they mixed with the dirty smoke and smog of the grassland carnival, making them even more turbid.

Jing Jiu didn't like those warships, nor did he liked this feeling, so he turned around and left the terrace.

Two girls, Jiang, Xia and Huaxi, were kneeling in the back hall. They were unable to become the heirs of the priestess, but they would have corresponding responsibilities when they entered the final list. The entire priesthood was busy at this time, and no one could care about them. They could only stare at the clear water petals in the celadon bowl. At this time, they couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw him walking back.

A young man who can determine the ownership of the priestess is naturally not an ordinary person, and must even be more powerful than all the big figures on this planet.

Who is he? Huaxi dared not ask. Jiang and Xia finally gave up the heavy responsibility of the priestess who had been withheld for more than ten years today. With ease, he also had a lot of courage. He looked at him and said seriously: "Hello."

Jing Jiu ignored her.

Jiang and Xia had experience and did not feel frustrated. They continued: "We have met several times at Xingmen University."

Of course, Jing Jiu remembered who she was. It was just because of Bai Zao's experience that he had made a decision that day when he met on the lawn. He would not say a word to this black-haired girl in any situation in the future.

The room became very quiet, and the sound of fireworks kept coming from the terrace.

Hua Xi looked at Jiang and Xia with some sympathy, stepped forward and held her hand, shaved it slightly to express comfort.

The sound of fireworks on the grassland gradually became sparse until they disappeared, as if the bustle was far away from the world.

The warship returned to space, and the big men who came to attend the celebration took planes to their respective manors and residences, and the carnival crowd gradually dispersed.

The whole world finally became truly quiet, and the priestess took Zhong Lizi back to the apse.

There was no remnant of excitement on Zhong Lizi's face, only fatigue and confusion.

Suddenly, he went from a poor girl in an underground neighborhood to the most respected big man on this planet. No matter who he was, it took time to digest this mental shock.

Seeing Jing Jiu, her eyes became much brighter. Just as she was about to say something to him, hurried footsteps came from outside the gray curtain.

A figure appeared on the gray curtain, and then a voice sounded: "There are some problems outside the sacrificial hall."

The person who came was the bishop who guarded the second city and the priestess' most trusted subordinate.

The night wind came from the terrace, with a little chill, and the hall became extremely quiet.

Everyone understands what his words mean.

The new priestess has just been selected, is there anyone going to make trouble?

Who on this planet dares to be disrespectful to the priestess?

Hua Xi's eyes showed a look of fear. Jiang and Xia hugged her in her arms and patted her on the back.

Zhong Lizi looked at Jing Jiu, but he stopped talking.

At this moment, they saw a scene that they never expected.

The priestess saluted Jing Jiu seriously and said with the humblest attitude: "The world is ignorant, please feel sorry for it."

Jing Jiu said, "I will kill a few less."
