Chapter 150 Part 2
When they arrived at the shrine, Little Cal hid behind a wall, moving forward slowly, step by step, trying not to make a sound.
And just then, a well-dressed old man walked up, carrying a pile of cornbread, and placed it in front of the goddess statue.
“Goddess, please grant us a bountiful harvest this year.”
It seemed to be the village chief.
Ten minutes after the village chief left, the young Calysia finally dared to peek out and check the situation. Seeing no one within a hundred-meter radius, she began to take the offerings from below the goddess statue.
Just like before, she held two in her mouth and tucked seven or eight in her arms… This was her food for several days.
But just then, she suddenly stopped, put down the cornbread in her hand, and turned to look at the statue of the Goddess of Light.
She walked forward, knelt on the ground like the village chief, and began to pray: “Goddess…”
As if she hadn’t spoken in a long time, her voice was a little strange. She cleared her throat and then said again in a young voice, “Goddess, I hope I can survive. Thank you for your charity.”
“…”
“This is the first time I’ve seen a dragon pray to me.”
A cold voice, like a bolt from the blue, came from a person who had appeared out of thin air behind her!
Turning her head, Calysia fell to the ground.
—The one who spoke was a young woman.
Her long golden hair shimmered with a holy light. Her gorgeous white dress had two deep blue hemlines, and silver-white stars constantly changed and moved, like two pieces of starry sky taken from the heavens. The white stockings on her jade-like legs had several gilded patterns, equally dazzling… This holy attire didn’t make people feel that it was priceless, but rather “unapproachable.”
Unlike what Reina had imagined, this Goddess of Light’s appearance was not hidden.
On the contrary, this Goddess of Light’s appearance was exactly the same as the one she had fought!
Long golden hair, a cold face, cross-shaped eyes, and a perfect body.
But Reina saw in an instant that this young woman was not the real Goddess of Light.
She was a Light Clone.
“I…”
Calysia’s whole body trembled. She certainly knew who the person before her was.
The Goddess of Light, the protector of humanity, the one who monitored the Four Realms and the world, the only one.
Wherever she went was faith, wherever her gaze fell was daylight, and all her words would be passed down as holy scriptures forever.
“I…”
“Die.”
The Goddess of Light said coldly. At the same time, a Judgment Blade appeared out of thin air in her hand.
But just as the goddess was about to kill the demon before her, she stopped her sword.
“…”
The young Calysia’s body trembled, but she didn’t even have time to cry. Under the goddess’s aura, her inner defenses had long since completely collapsed, because even the strongest demon in this world was no match for the goddess… And she, an exiled dragon princess, was not even worth mentioning.
And it seemed that because she was of no value, the goddess stopped.
“What did you just pray to me for?”
“I…”
Calysia was so scared she couldn’t speak, but an invisible force made her speak.
“Ca… Calysia.”
“Calysia, why do you want to live?”
As if out of curiosity, the Goddess of Light asked.
She withdrew her sharp killing intent, withdrew the holy sword, as if she were a little curious about what kind of reaction this small creature would make.
“Live…”
Calysia couldn’t answer.
She took a deep breath and finally said slowly:
“No reason… I just, don’t want to die.”
“No reason? That’s impossible.”
The Goddess of Light said coldly, “The price of a soul’s existence is sufficient purpose. And if it forgets its purpose, it will lose its reason to live.”
Calysia opened her mouth but said nothing, clearly at a loss for words.
“But you’re not lying.”
The goddess shook her head.
She extended her hand to the young Calysia, who was lying on the ground.
“Come with me. You might be able to give me an answer.”
…
Calysia took the goddess’s hand and stood up, but rather than agreeing to the Goddess of Light’s proposal, it was more like she was compromising with reality.
She had no choice.
In this world, and in front of the Goddess of Light.
The god took her to a nearby town. On the outskirts of what was considered a prosperous small city in this era, she led her to a room deep in an alley next to a market.
This residence was considered luxurious in the entire human world.
This made Calysia a little overwhelmed.
A separate bedroom, living room, and kitchen… these were things she could only enjoy as a dragon princess, but that was a year ago. Now, she had completely lost the vision of a beautiful life.
Her brain was even having trouble accepting the current situation.
She didn’t even dare to move, just standing there foolishly.
“Listen up, Calysia.”
The goddess looked back at her before leaving.
“I understand very well why a soul can be born from nothing, why you don’t need a reason to live.”
“Until I get an answer, I won’t kill you.”
“…”
Calysia seemed to understand, but not completely.
She just nodded, as if to say.
But seeing her hesitant look, the goddess actually walked up to her, took her hand, and led her into the bathroom.
She turned on the faucet and began to fill the tub with hot water.
Until the entire bathtub was filled with water, she even felt that the water temperature wasn’t quite right. She leaned on the bathtub, put her hand under the water to open the plug, let some water out, and added some cold water before she was satisfied.
“The suitable water temperature for a silver dragon is about 890 degrees, but you seem to be able to tolerate only 40 degrees of water.”
“I…”
“Go change your clothes and take a bath.”
Calysia did as she was told.
The clothes on her body were, at best, just a few simply cut pieces of linen, not even “clothes.”
Calysia was apprehensive. She took off her boots and walked into the bathroom, but unexpectedly, the Goddess of Light was still there!
She sized up Calysia’s naked body:
“Come.”
“I…”
What room did Calysia have to refuse?
She put one foot into the bathtub, and then her whole body sank in… The dirt and grime on her body were soaked in the warm water and began to fade away…
