35: Chapter 35 A Secret Visit to the Sea

In the middle of the night, Chu Xingyang, lying in bed, felt something furry crawling on his face, so he called out.

Wei Wei, who was sleeping on the floor beside the bed, scrambled up quickly and deftly lit the candles and oil lamps in the bedroom one by one, instantly illuminating the large room.

She then hurriedly ran to the head of the bed, knelt down, lowered her head, and asked: "great deity, do you have any instructions?"

But she waited a long time without receiving a response.

Chu Xingyang was preoccupied with playing with a round, fat tabby cat, looking puzzled: "Since when did this thing appear in the temple?"

Wei Wei thought for a moment: "It is raised by the saintess inside; we have too much food here."

The plump cat was currently lying peacefully in the great deity's arms, purring.

Chu Xingyang stroked its soft belly, a mischievous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. In an instant, the fur on the fat cat disappeared, and two whiskers appeared in his hand.

"Go to sleep. When it's light out, we'll go check out the city's market, an incognito visit."

Seeing the great deity lie down again, Wei Wei immediately stood up, blew out the candles and oil lamps one by one, and then went back to sleep on the blanket on the floor.

Although Chu Xingyang had told her several times to sleep on the bed, she felt that as the great deity's maid, she could not lie at the same level as the great deity.

Early the next morning, the two walked out of the temple together.

On the way, passing by the saintess's room, they heard a girl inside sobbing softly: "I don't know who shaved all of Huahua's fur off. Now it's all bare; I almost mistook it for an ugly monkey."

The saintess sleeping in the same room comforted her: "Don't be sad, my dear sister, let's pray first. Besides, a hairless cat is quite cute too; I will definitely breed this variety in the future."

Wei Wei was a bit angry, thinking to herself that they were so clumsy when serving the great deity, but quite skilled at raising cats.

Not long after walking out of the temple gate, she hailed a carriage. Then, she very carefully helped Xingyang God into the passenger cabin, while she prepared to stand on the rack at the back of the carriage.

Chu Xingyang pulled her in: "When we are visiting incognito, don't treat me as a god. The wind is strong when the carriage is moving."

While moved, Wei Wei was also very uneasy, but when she saw the great deity's face clearly, she was stunned: "Xingyang God, you have grown a beard!"

"Hmm, it's transformed from the cat's fur. I don't want to be recognized in the market and cause chaos, and I don't want to change my face casually. Do you think this disguise is okay?"

"People who have only seen the great deity a few times won't be able to recognize you."

Hearing the maid's affirmation, Chu Xingyang nodded, then stuck the other extra mustache under her nose.

Looking at her comical reflection in the carriage window, Wei Wei said hesitantly: "great deity, can I take this mustache off? As long as I lower the veil on my hat to cover my face, no one will recognize me as the great deity's maid."

"As you wish." The streets rushing by outside, similar to medieval scenes, attracted the great deity's attention.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the bustling market.

It was shoulder-to-shoulder, with people coming and going. Many people were also gathered around the jugglers and bards on the outskirts of the market.

Chu Xingyang squeezed in and discovered that a down-and-out poet was playing and singing hymns about his own miracles.

So he threw two gold coins over.

The bard's eyes widened, and he hurriedly bowed in thanks: "Thank you, kind stranger. Great Deity Xingyang will bless and protect you."

Fine, I'll bless myself. Chu Xingyang pulled Wei Wei out of the crowd and walked toward the depths of the market.

The goods on both sides of the road were dazzling.

Ironware, shoes, animal skins, woven baskets, statues of himself...

Because the peace between the Alliance and the Wolf-men and Goblin has lasted for many years, there were stalls from these two races in the market.

The Wolf-men, who are dedicated to animal husbandry and like to eat meat, mainly sold roasted meat, dairy products, and fur.

And the Goblin sold exquisite pottery jars.

Chu Xingyang nodded: "Unexpectedly, business is quite booming in front of the Wolf-men and Goblin's stalls."

Wei Wei looked at the great deity gratefully: "It is your blessing that allows the people of our Alliance to no longer worry about being eaten or kidnapped by them."

The two sauntered to the entrance of a bakery.

The scent of the bread was strong, but unfortunately, there was a stinking ditch right next to it. The two smells mixed together, making one completely lose their appetite.

It seems I need to have City Lord You Lu improve the city's drainage system.

As Chu Xingyang was thinking, he suddenly walked to a jewelry stall, threw down dozens of gold coins, and bought a ruby necklace to put around the maid's neck.

"For so many years, you have been serving me tea and water. Consider this a reward." As he spoke, he helped Wei Wei, who was preparing to kneel, up: "I've already said this is an incognito visit, so don't kneel."

With red eyes, Wei Wei, overwhelmed with emotion, felt as if her chest was blocked by something; she couldn't say a word.

After following the great deity for another stretch of the road, her mood gradually calmed down.

Chu Xingyang brought her into a tavern and chose the most expensive wine there.

The two sat on chairs in front of the tavern, drinking while watching the rising morning sun.

"The sun in the sky is you! great deity, what virtue do I have to be so favored by the great deity all the time?" Wei Wei, with a few cups of wine down, was in tears, leaning her head on Xingyang God's shoulder for the first time.

Just then, a peddler selling calendars along the street walked over.

Chu Xingyang bought a calendar with dozens of copper coins, muttering to himself: "Xingyang God Calendar."

Wei Wei, slightly tipsy, said: "Yes, this year is 120 of the Xingyang Calendar. It was passed down from the Eastern Continent. People from the Eastern Continent say it comes from the Starfire Empire in the north."

The Starfire Empire, huh. I wonder how far along the construction of the Xingyang Temple they are building for me in the capital is.

Chu Xingyang flipped through the calendar casually, then faced west and said indifferently: "The Starfire Empire's Gospel Army, which spreads my divine light, is about to be wiped out on the sea of the Western Continent. I am hesitating whether to intervene."

Wei Wei, who was clearly drunk, actually offered a suggestion to the great deity: "Great Deity Xingyang, how can you stand by and watch them die? This will chill the hearts of your loyal believers."

After saying this, she also felt it was very inappropriate; her drunkenness seemed to have faded by more than half: "great deity, forgive me, I spoke wrongly. You have your own plans. Regardless, our faith remains steadfast and unchanging."

Chu Xingyang pondered for a moment: "Then I will go take a look."

After saying this, he walked to the center of the street, recited silently in his heart, and in an instant, he came from the Central Continent to the Western Continent, to the battlefield where the Gospel Army and the Western Continent Allied Forces were fighting.

In mid-air, the leader of the Winged People, Yu Lan, looked up and broke into a cold sweat, thinking to herself, who could fly so high, and it's a male!

At this moment, the Allied Forces were launching an all-out charge against the Starfire Empire's warships, and no one had time to pay attention to this sudden situation.

Chu Xingyang moved his fingers slightly, and the churning seawater in the area where the warships on both sides were about to engage suddenly sank, revealing the mud on the seabed.

The seawater was split in two as if by an invisible force.
