55 Frozen Cloud's Holy Saintess
"What does the Frozen Cloud's holy saintess want to do here? She is one of those targeting our master and her sister, right?" Remiel asked bluntly. She didn't even hide her bloodlust and hostility.
"Please don't misunderstand. I ca here to talk peacefully. Also, I was not instructed by anyone. This is my personal decision." The Frozen Cloud's holy saintess grasped her fist and bowed slightly.
"Say what you want to say, Shui iying. As you know, the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and I are not on good terms anymore." Yuuki secretly created an ice line between herself and the guest.
"Elder Celestial Fox, I hope you can return to Frozen Cloud. Your sister can also join as your direct disciple. We only need to dye her hair and fur color, and everything will be fine. No one could voice any complaint." Shui iying worked up the courage to request it frankly.
"And you think I'll agree to it? As Palace Master's pri disciple, you should also know about my exchange with your master. Our deal is over, and I don't have any reason to join Frozen Cloud."
"This is not for exchange, but for real parts. Palace Master and ancestor will not treat you and your sister unfairly if you completely beco part of Frozen Cloud. We will protect you two with all our might."
"Is that all you wanted to talk about? If so, please go. My little sister is asleep, and I don't want you to disturb her."
Yuuki glanced back as she asked the guest to leave. Her answer was evident in her intonation and profound coldness.
"..." Shui iying took a mont of silence.
The situation was as she could have guessed. It was no longer possible for the Elder Celestial Fox to return to Frozen Cloud, and all of that was because of that shadow fox.
Elder Celestial Fox loved her little sister far too much, and it got to the point she would leave everything behind for her little sister. And that little sister was sleeping even though the current situation was dire for these fox sisters.
More than a dozen major forces would bring these fox sisters ho by force. Not to ntion the Tiangong Sacred Land's obvious evil intention...
Even though Elder Celestial Fox was a newly ascended Deity, it would be very difficult to face all the threats by herself, especially when Elder Celestial Fox needed to protect her little sister.
"Did these years of sentint an nothing to you, Elder Celestial Fox? This is for the benefit of you and your little sister. If you beco a rogue cultivator, you and your little sister's safety will be in danger. At the very least, please reconsider, for your little sister's sake as well." Shui iying felt a little sad.
She had known the Elder Celestial Fox for more than three years, but she never expected that there wouldn't be any sentint left.
"You don't know a thing about us, it seems. Have they not told us anything about us? Shui iying, let tell you a thing. I don't intend to harm you or Frozen Cloud, but they brought it upon themselves. Let give you a piece of good advice." Yuuki heaved a subtle sigh.
This holy saintess was a good girl, but the environnt didn't support her. Palace Master cultivated this girl for a reason, but this girl was still oblivious to the truth. However, since that would only benefit this girl, she wouldn't ddle. After all, she had other things to take care of.
"Please enlighten , elder." Shui iying's eyes brightened as she felt Elder Celestial Fox was not so heartless.
"Don't involve yourself any further. Quickly step back and withdraw those who are willing to listen to you. This ss is not just about the two holy lands and dozens of major forces. They have all underestimated us, and that will ruin them." Yuuki emphasized her sentence's end as the most important one.
"iying understands. Please be rciful and leave a way out for those stubborn elders. I beg you." Shui iying clasped her fist and bowed again.
"..." Yuuki remained silent, but her floating ice gestured for the guest to leave.
"Uh-uhm... Fwahh~" Ely's fox ears twitched as she woke up. She rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"You awake?" Yuuki blinked her eyes in confusion. She was sure she had blocked the noises with her magic to not disturb Ely's sleep.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I fell asleep. Ah, I didn't cause any inconvenience, right?" Ely apologized to Yuuki, then checked the auction event. Yet, she accidentally noticed the presence of a stranger in the room. "Who?"
"It's okay; you can lean on my shoulder whenever you want. She is Shui iying, the holy saintess of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace."
"Woah, holy saintess? I finally t one. She wasn't in that great hall at the ti. She also didn't look hostile." Ely glanced at Yuuki and Shui iying alternately.
The Frozen Cloud's holy saintess was also the embodint of cold beauty.
Long sparkling snow white hair, elf-like pointy ears, charming well-developed body wrapped in a bluish-white robe with a unique ice and fog pattern, and a srizing appearance. Those magical icy blue eyes even resembled the luster of a sparkling gem.
Ely had just played the role of a holy saintess last week, and she finally found one for reference. At that ti, she had completely imrsed herself in her role, and her holy-like aura from dozens of artifacts helped her give off a sacred impression.
However, this holy saintess from Frozen Cloud looked like a respected noble lady. So, she played her ga with an exceptional blast last week? No wonder those people exaggerated things about her.
"Ahem, since you've co, why don't you sit down, and we can talk about so things? I'm sure you didn't co to find trouble with us." Ely invited the guest to sit down.
"This..." Shui iying hesitated. She glanced at the Elder Celestial Fox awkwardly.
"Fret not, we will not eat you. My na is Kitsune. Pleased to et you, Lady Shui iying~" Ely pushed Shui iying from behind and motioned for the girl to sit down. She even brewed tea for her guest.
"..." Yuuki felt a bit awkward. She had just sent Shui iying to leave, but Ely wanted this girl to stay. Therefore, she just remained silent to see what Ely wanted to do.
"Here is your tea, please." Ely put the tea in front of her guest.
"Y-yes, thank you." Shui iying was feeling a bit nervous now. She seed unable to resist this shadow fox's charm...
She stole several glances to take a closer look at Elder Celestial Fox's little sister. Her attention was frequently drawn to those mystic purplish-blue eyes.
If she needed to put in one word to describe this shadow fox, then lovely would be the one that would best fit. However, how could the freezing-cold elder sister have a little sister with such a warm, sunny personality?
"Hmm, you drank the tea without hesitation. Wouldn't you suspect that I put poison in there? Your holy land gave us so trouble in the past few days. You know that, right?" Ely made a steeple of her fingers with a faint smile.
"Cough! Cough..." Shui iying gasped and choked as a result.
"Fufu, I was just kidding. It's just pure blue tea. I'm sure you'd be more alert in a normal situation." Ely chuckled lightly.
"..." Shui iying wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. To think she would be this careless and display such unbecoming behavior. That was true, and she was usually so vigilant.
[Shui iying (FV: 2310) | 5th Rank Late Stage]
[Favorability: 61%]
[Talent: 4 Stars | SSR]
Ely checked Shui iying's status screen. This holy saintess FV almost rivaled Gabriella, and she knew this girl's future was bright. Therefore, she'd better made more friends on this occasion. Currying favor and having a good relationship with future big-shot figures was always good.
"Nee, can you please tell more about you? I want to know~ What is your view of the holy land and the world like? Why do people in the holy land consider themselves above mortals, even though they are still mortals? Are--" Ely sat beside Shui iying and asked many things like a curious little fox.
Shui iying was a bit overwheld, but she had no choice but to entertain this curious fox.
Shui iying excused herself a few monts later because she couldn't stay there too long. She managed to satisfy the shadow fox's curiosity, which was how she could escape.
"Thank you for your gift, Lady Kitsune. I will rember this favor." Shui iying bowed respectfully.
It was truly mind-blowing. She also didn't expect Lady Kitsune to be from a holy land.
Sacred Sakura Holy Land... That na was overbearing because it contained sacred and holy rged into one na. However, it was her first ti hearing of this na. Even so, she didn't doubt it.
However, those greedy and wicked people would involve in one more holy land. A particular sacred place was also likely to join the chaos later.
So, the future ss would involve three or four holy lands and dozens of major forces. It was really terrible and made her scared. Frozen could have better withdrawn imdiately to avoid excess losses.
She did not expect to build good relations with Lady Kitsune and the Elder Celestial Fox. This way, she was sure everything would be fine. A friendly holy land as an ally.
"Hum, we may et again soon." Ely waved her hand.
She gave a protective talisman for the first eting gift.
"This junior is grateful, Lady Kitsune." Shui iying clasped her fist to salute once more.
"Fufu, you are a good and wise girl, Saintess iying. You can go now and be careful on the road. Please befriend our holy saintess if you et her soday. Her na is Miko. You might be able to be a good friend with her." Ely covered her mouth with a folding fan.
"iying is looking forward to that day." Shui iying then excused herself and left that room with the permission of Elder Celestial Fox as well.
Let people underestimate you. That way, they'll never know for sure what you're capable of ^^
Nevertheless, more friends, more goodness~
