God overlooks from a high platform,
The believers prostrated themselves on the ground.
The faint moonlight illuminates everything below.
During the long silence, Liu Yu could only feel a gust of wind blowing gently on his body, and his prostrate body was already sitting upright as before.
The red silk taffeta skirt fell on the green grass, and the fresh air of the night dew filled the tip of her nose. She straightened her body and looked forward.
But at the other end of the tree of the gods, on the high platform like black ink, the figure shrouded in hazy white light seemed to exhaust the imagination of everyone in the world.
Noble, gorgeous, unstoppable.
She lowered her eyes and, like all the believers around her, assumed a tame posture.
God, without a word.
Priest Lina suddenly raised her head and looked at the dense, cloud-like canopy:
"The sacred tree is blooming..."
she murmured.
Priest Lyle also looked up with her:
"The sacred tree is blooming."
Dots of green halo spread out like snow and landed.
The tree of the God Realm seemed to breathe together like a human being.
The green halo fell on the top of the person's head, and there seemed to be a mysterious and mysterious melody rising from the sky and the earth. The melody resounded in the heart, and it swayed layer by layer...
Liu Yu felt his whole soul tremble.
"Bo—"
She heard the sound of flowers blooming.
The petals stretch little by little, the stamens sway with the wind, and the butterflies following the fragrance fall gently...
Everything is alive, everything is spring.
She opened her eyes, in the misty green, three small light pink flowers like ice crystals left the crown of the tree and fell like dandelions.
Just when the three little flowers were about to fall to the top of people's heads, Priest Lyle and Priest Lina jointly sacrificed a translucent jade shell, the jade shell was spinning in the air, and the flowers seemed to be attracted by invisible force. All of a sudden it fell into the oatmeal.
Inside the translucent shell, the pale pink petals are a work of art of the finest quality.
"Guess, who is the lucky one this year?"
There was a buzzing sound of discussion around.
"Shh, God is here, don't talk."
"God doesn't care about this..."
Margaret wrinkled her nose: "Anyway, as long as it's not Natasie Leonard."
"It seems you hate her."
Liu Yu said.
"Oh, I hate the way she's always crying, like a sticky slug that can't be shaken off." Margaret shrugged, "If you bully her, she will come out with a bag of water... If she Take out the staff and fight with me, and I will respect her a little bit."
"Margaret, people always look forward." Edith comforted her, "Lian missed you, and it is his loss."
"Oh, of course." Margaret was proud, "The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come. Did you see Mr. Roy just now? Uh-huh, that's..."
She said in an evocative tone, "...pretty good."
Kessel covered his forehead and moaned: "Miss Margaret, don't spoil my pure sister, she never listens to this."
Liu Yu glanced at him.
In the twinkling starlight, Kessel's smile was like the surface of a lake illuminated by the sun, but the shadows were hidden deep in the dark bottom of the lake.
She started another topic:
"Then how do you divide these flowers?"
"...The annual flowers are always decided by Priest Lina and Priest Lyle together. As for who... who knows." Margaret said indifferently, "It's not my turn anyway... Priest Lina doesn't like me, she Always say I have a bad temper."
"But Edith..."
While discussing, Priest Lina tapped her staff, and a small pink flower fluttered out of the jade shell, and suddenly fell to Edith's finger.
"May the Holy Light be with you."
she said.
Edith lifted the flowers over her head and bowed down solemnly.
"Thank God."
When she straightened up, the gloom on her face had disappeared.
"Congratulations, Edith!"
Liu Yu smiled and blessed her. She was very happy that this gentle girl could get the flower of blessing.
Margaret followed suit.
Kessel gently touched the top of her head: "My dear sister, good luck will always be with you."
Liu Yu noticed that Edith's body trembled.
She looked at the pair thoughtfully, and wondered, Had Edith been forced
At this time, Priest Lyle's staff also clicked, and another small flower fluttered to the other side, and finally landed on Nataxi's palm.
"May the Holy Light be with you."
he said.
Nataxi raised her hands high above her head, and crawled down excitedly:
"Thank you, thank God."
She couldn't cry, and when she straightened up, she glanced in Belia's direction.
Margaret rolled her eyes:
"I'm sure that little bitch is showing off."
"Margaret..."
Edith looked at her disapprovingly.
"Edith, you know, I'm just a horse herder's daughter, and I only learned how to herd horses and curse people." Margaret snorted, "I guess, Ryan must have asked his brother in advance. He I always feel like I'm going to teach his crying little lover a lesson... just give her some luck, and when my magical skills are perfected, I will definitely turn them into pig heads."
Liu Yu laughed out loud, and Margaret was candid and cute:
"Margaret, I have to remind you that Miss Leonard's luck has always been very good."
"So what?" Margaret had an attitude of "I'll just be happy", "If I don't breathe, I will be unhappy every day..."
"Unfortunately, if it's a beauty pageant, Belia, you're sure to win this flower... After all, you're the prettiest of us all, oh, and Edith, though she's not nearly..."
Kessel coughed: "Miss Margaret, I don't agree with that."
He had two dimples from his smile.
"Oh, oh, sorry." Margaret apologized half-heartedly.
Liu Yu and Edith looked at each other and smiled.
Edith gives Margaret a strawberry shortcake:
"Gag your mouth, Margaret."
Margaret ate aggrievedly, but her eyes narrowed into a straight line with joy.
Liu Yu looked at Yu Pu.
Now, there is only one flower left.
According to the usual practice, for the sake of balance, she thought, Priest Lina and Priest Lyle must choose a holy son.
After all, it can’t all be given to the girls.
Sure enough, the eyes of the saintesses were a little distracted.
They didn't dare to look at the gods in the distance, so they only discussed their clothes, jewelry, and lovers with each other in a low voice.
And the scorching eyes of the holy children almost stared a hole in the translucent jade shell.
As soon as Priest Lina and Priest Lyle's eyes met, just as Priest Lina's staff was lifted up, a soft beam of light fell down, and then, God's beautiful voice, as if from a sea of ice and snow mountains, echoed in the air. In everyone's ears:
"Let fate choose."
Priest Lina was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Priest Lyle, did she hear wrong, God...
Priest Lyle nodded to her, the staff was the first to point, and the jade shell was lifted to the highest altitude by a force, then turned over, and the light pink flowers fell down.
The wind blows gently.
In the twilight of the moon, the little flower floated aimlessly under the eyes of countless people, and finally landed in a person's hair in a whirl.
Margaret covered her mouth and let out an "oh":
"Fergus, you have been chosen by fate..."
she exclaimed.
Under the moonlight, a light pink flower stuck to the girl's sparkling blond hair.
A soft pink halo enveloped her, making her look like a god of love and beauty.
"May the Holy Light be with you."
Priest Lina and Priest Lyle saluted her at the same time.
The believers looked at her enviously. This was different from the one bestowed by the priests. It was the tree of the gods, the wind, and the moonlight that chose this lucky girl.
Liu Yu straightened up and looked at the other end of the tree of the gods.
In the hazy light and shadow, the man sat motionless on the high platform, like a cold marble sculpture.
How could it be him
Liu Yu thought, maybe this time, she was really lucky.
"The owner of the flower of the sacred tree has been chosen." Priest Lina waved her staff, "These three lucky girls are invited to dance for us."
Liu Yu was taken aback, Edith and Nataxi had already stood up.
Margaret tweeted her:
"Go, Miss Fergus, this is the time that everyone is most looking forward to tonight. After the dance is over, you can pray to God for his blessing."
"But why dance?"
"Celebrate... but it is said that more than 10,000 years ago, everyone danced the blessing dance. But later, some people felt bored and changed it to a pas de deux. You know... God doesn't like to be noisy, and only during the harvest season and this time , we can dance happily in the shrine..."
In the melodious music, Margaret couldn't wait to move along with it.
Liu Yu was pushed to the side of Edith, and Kessel stood up accordingly.
Nataxi had already taken Ryan's hand.
Edith looked at her for help, she was extremely timid, standing beside her like a shivering rabbit—although she tried her best to hide it.
Liu Yu sighed slightly, she remembered the weak resistance of the girl next to the grape arbor.
"Mr. Bieber, I just need a dance partner." She smiled and reached out to Kessel, "I don't know if I have the honor, would you like to have a dance?"
Kessel glanced at Edith, and turned to Liu Yu with a brilliant smile:
"Oh, of course, it's never a gentleman to turn down a lady, please."
He placed his right hand in front of his abdomen and bent slightly.
Liu Yu put his hand on Kessel's outstretched left hand, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the hem of his skirt was blown up slightly by the wind, but he felt nothing again.
Kessel also frowned, but stretched it out again in an instant, and he nodded gracefully to Edith:
"Sorry, my dear sister, I'm afraid you need to find another partner."
"Oh, it's okay, brother Kessel, I wish you a happy day."
Edith smiled, if not at her excessively pale face.
Liu Yu was led by Kesell and danced under the tree.
Her waist was held by him, and Kessel danced skillfully and gracefully. As a male companion, he was very qualified.
Two other couples also started dancing under the tree.
The saints and saints held hands around the tree of the gods, kicking their legs and singing songs.
"The flower of the God Realm, beautiful and fragrant, shining brightly on the earth..."
The rhythm is brisk, the track is lively, and it sounds like a folk song.
Gradually Liu Yu was also infected, and her dance steps became more lively.
Forward, back, throw away, retract.
Kessel cooperated seamlessly, and commented with a smile: "Miss Fergus' former dance partner must be very good."
Liu Yu's smile froze, and then quickly relaxed:
"No, on the contrary, he dances very well."
"Oh?" Kessel didn't believe it, but he didn't continue to ask, "When I saw Miss Fergus, I was surprised. In this world, there are people who are exactly like my sister."
"Excuse me, I'm curious, is Edith Mr. Bieber's real sister?"
Kessel raised his eyebrows:
"Could it be... we don't look like them?"
"No, it's Mr. Bieber who always looks at Miss Edith with heartbreaking eyes, which makes me sometimes think that you are a couple of lovers."
Liu Yu doesn't know about other worlds, but in the continent of Ellen, brothers and sisters are not allowed to be together—
Because when they are together, they will give birth to a deformed fetus. In the eyes of the Holy See, this is an abnormal relationship bewitched by the devil, a sinful, dark emotion, and they will fall into a dark abyss that will never be restored.
Kessel laughed loudly:
"Miss Fergus is really funny. I grew up with Edith, she is too gentle, I always worry that she will suffer, so I can't help but take care of it. But... if it's a beautiful lady like you, I think , I will pursue it.”
He let her go.
Only then did Liu Yu realize that a song had ended.
And her back was already drenched.
"I hope Miss Fergus will give me a chance." Kessel knelt down on one leg and pulled out a red rose from nowhere. "I think this flower is naturally suitable for you, Miss Fergus."
"Wow!" Margaret applauded, "Very good! Mr. Bieber, your vision is really good!"
Liu Yu looked at Edith, who was standing on the sidelines with complicated eyes.
She meddled enough.
Liu Yu thought.
She takes a step back:
"Sorry, I don't want to accept any pursuits for now."
Kessel wasn't annoyed by her rejection:
"I will always be waiting for you, beautiful Miss Fergus."
He stood up, and handed the rose flower to Edith: "I'm sorry, dear sister, Miss Fergus did not accept it, so this flower can only be dedicated to you."
Edith took it in a daze.
Priest Lina came out to smooth things over:
"Now-"
Margaret and a group of lively saints and saints spoke together:
"Priest Lina, Priest Lyle, can I pray for God's blessing?"
When Nataxi and Edith blushed and prayed for blessings from the other end of the tree of the gods, Liu Yu quietly withdrew from the crowd, walked through the back garden, and returned to the room.
The door closed with a slight "click".
Before the wall lamp was turned on, she felt that there was an extra person in the room.
The cold, but powerful existence with a strong sense of presence is impossible to ignore.
"Who?!"
Liu Yuxin had a premonition that the bright bullet between his fingers was snuffed out by someone who came.
Wrapping her in his icy hands, his voice was very soft:
"Belia Fergus, it's me."
"god?!"
Liu Yu couldn't control his surprise—
The moonlight poured down like water, illuminating that half of the side face that was like a chisel.
An existence that makes people fear, tremble, and want to crawl to the ground.
