Chapter 998 Stepping on the Red Lake(2/2)
"……certainly."
Batu frowned and responded subconsciously.
There is nothing wrong with this response.
But the next second, a very light and soft voice sounded from the back of the crowd in Red Lake.
"In that case..."
"Should I be able to set foot on this red lake?"
The crowd turned around in surprise, and the stars lingered, fell into the dust, and all fell on a woman.
The man's expression was still tired and dusty, and his body was also stained with some dark, damp, muddy smell.
But it doesn't stop her from appearing, as soon as she appears, all the brilliance in the world gathers together.
"My Lady Goddess!"
One of the Holy Judges exclaimed and quickly knelt down to worship.
"My Lady Goddess!"
There were exclamations one after another, and the Holy Judges behind the Red Lake saluted one after another. They had always thought that the goddess was at the end of the Red Lake, serving the throne of light...
After all, there are only a few people in the temple who know the true whereabouts of the secret prison and Mengxizhou.
From the perspective of the outside world, this is also the case.
After Meng Xizhou appeared, the crowd roared and moved out of the way.
The faces of the Gu family delegation and the night watchmen were first surprised, and then happy... Luo Yu and Zhong Fan looked at each other, sweating in their hearts, and finally relaxed at this moment.
The young master successfully robbed the prison!
Batu looked at where the bright starlight fell, his mind went blank, and in the end he could only squeeze out a stiff greeting: "My lord Goddess... why are you here?"
After saying this, Batu regretted it.
This greeting is actually very bad.
The goddess has been imprisoned in a secret prison. Only the top officials of the temple know this secret... Of course Batu also knows it.
Seeing Meng Xizhou, he understood why Su Ye didn't reply to his messages.
It was obvious that the secret prison had been lost, and both Yao Jin and Su Ye had miscalculated.
What Batu is most worried about right now is that what the Temple of Light did to the goddess will be revealed tonight.
But fortunately.
Meng Xizhou just said four words in an understatement.
"Quiet and thoughtful."
These four words were the last face she left to this Guangming City and this temple.
Batu's eyes were complicated. He bowed slowly and said, "You... also want to step onto the lake?"
Meng Xizhou walked forward slowly and came to the shore of Red Lake.
She looked at Gu Shen and nodded slightly to express her gratitude. Gu Nanfeng rescued her from the secret prison. She already knew what happened before and after this "prison robbery".
Gu Shen just smiled faintly.
Everything is left unsaid.
He had met the Goddess of Light. At that time, his spiritual realm was still weak. Just by looking at each other, Pluto's fire almost escaped his control.
But now, it's different.
Gu Shen re-examined the goddess of light in front of him. After being imprisoned in a deep prison for six years, the aura of light in Meng Xizhou's body became much weaker——
Obviously, the divine favor in her body disappeared.
"When I was six years old, I passed the 'Heart Washing Pool Trial'. When I was fifteen years old, I successfully smelted the 'Fire Dream'."
Meng Xizhou's voice echoed by the Red Lake.
This sentence is meant for Batu and everyone else.
The temple can list countless rules that those who set foot on the Red Lake need to follow.
But Meng Xizhou complies with every one of them.
Because she is a goddess appointed by the God, and she is innately in tune with "light". If she is not qualified to set foot on this red lake, then who is?
"Now...I want to set foot on this red lake."
Meng Xizhou spoke very seriously. Her tone was not asking for advice, but making a statement: "I want to see Lord Divine Throne."
"..."
Batu wanted to refuse, but couldn't think of a reason to continue refusing.
Moreover, he had no time to refuse.
Because after Meng Xizhou finished speaking, he took steps and stepped onto the surface of the Red Lake.
"Buzz!"
The moment her toes touched the lake water, the lake water, which looked dim and dull under the starry night, suddenly became brighter. Thousands of rays of light flew out from the bottom of the lake and swept into her snow-white skin. She seemed to be covered in a blanket.
A divine garment wrapped and woven with bright ribbons, the entire red lake became bright with her appearance.
Her complexion was no longer pale, and her eyes became solemn and sacred.
Even if there is no divine support.
She is still the darling of the light.
