Chapter 465: Running Away at Night 2
"This was given to me by an unreliable being..."
As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, an exasperated expression appeared in front of him.
"What do you mean by unreliable? I'm obviously very reliable, okay?"
"Yeah, it's so reliable that it doesn't even have an automatic driving function..."
Before she could finish her complaints, there was a "thump" and Mrs. Xue knelt heavily on one knee with a pious look on her face.
"So, you have also seen that great being?"
"Uh, it seems that what I just said is not reliable..."
Bai Yue swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. After all, the other person's eyes were like those of a fanatical believer, and Lu Wangyou was puzzled by the current situation, so he walked a few steps to Mrs. Xue, as if he wanted to help her up.
"Uncle Xue, it's not too late to stand up and speak slowly if you have anything to say. And what exactly is that great being you just mentioned?"
"This great being is naturally the guardian deity of our Xuelin Nation. When it first appeared before the Hero King, it was sitting in a large sphere just like this one!"
The other party suddenly stood up, beat his chest with his right hand, and chanted piously.
Time flowed slowly like a glacier. Sunlight shone on the ice and snow, casting a chilling light. The great king, as usual, mounted his steed and pursued the wolves. His fame had long been known throughout this icy plain. Suddenly, something strange appeared in the sky. A gigantic orb plummeted from the sky like a meteor. The roar shook every inch of the icy plain. The attendants trembled and collapsed on the snow. The warriors lost their former fortitude. Only the great king, with steady steps, walked towards the orb. His gaze was resolute, without fear or hesitation. At that moment, the strange orb slowly opened, and from it stepped a woman. Her figure was unparalleled, her hair as black and shiny as ebony, her lips as red as blood, like a beautiful crabapple in full bloom…
"Her skin is as pale as snow, like the first frost of winter?"
When this description reached Bai Yue's ears, an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly surged in his heart, and he blurted out these words almost without thinking.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what the next sentence describes. It seems you have indeed seen the goddess!"
Mrs. Xue nodded excitedly to Bai Yue, but the other party rubbed his temples and complained silently in his heart.
"Isn't this the most classic fairy tale? Does that mean your goddess is the famous Snow White?"
With her doubts, Mrs. Xue continued to chant.
"I am the master of miracles, the embodiment of hope. My temple and I have come here solely to lead you to escape the clutches of the White Death!" The woman uttered these heroic words, pointing to the orb. As the door slowly cracked, light gushed forth, and the great king resolutely stepped within. The crowd, filled with awe, followed closely behind..."
When the other party sang to this point, he suddenly took a deep breath, then looked at the surrounding scenery, and his voice became louder.
"Behold! A magnificent temple appeared before my eyes, as if it had been crafted by the gods themselves. The brilliance of gold and silver sparkled in every spot, like brilliant stars fallen to earth. Inexhaustible food piled high on the ground, a gift from heaven. Numerous divine objects were displayed there, emitting a strange light. Witnessing this extraordinary spectacle, the people's knees involuntarily bent to the ground. Even the great hero king, facing this sacred place, knelt solemnly, bowing his noble head. From then on, this story was passed down from mouth to mouth throughout the world, becoming a glorious chapter in epic poetry, remembering the wonder and splendor of the temple.
And the majestic look of the Hero King as he kneels down!"
After the chanting ended, Mrs. Xue's face was full of intoxication, as if she had just completed something extremely sacred and important. Then her gaze turned to Bai Yue and Lu Wangyou in turn, but the latter's originally beautiful brows were now tightly furrowed.
"What's wrong, little Wangyou? Are you moved by the magnificent epic song I sang?"
He looked at the other person with a smile, but Lu Wangyou turned his head to Bai Yue in confusion.
"Sister Yue, is Uncle Xue speaking the language of Xuelin Country now?"
"The language of Xuelin Country?"
When Mrs. Xue heard this, she suddenly remembered that she had subconsciously used the language of her hometown that she had not spoken for a long time because of her excitement.
"Yes, Uncle Xue is singing about the legend of their country's goddess appearing in the world!"
Bai Yue translated the content to Lu Wangyou word by word. As the last word fell, a look of realization appeared on the other person's face.
"The place we're staying in now does look a lot like the temple Uncle Xue mentioned, and that woman does look a bit like you, Sister Yue..."
Before Lu Wangyou could even utter the word "similar", Bai Yue immediately waved her hand.
"Brother Lu, you're kidding me. I'm just an ordinary person. How can I compare myself to Snow White..."
"Yes, the goddess's name is indeed Shirayuki, wait, Shirayuki... Shirayuki..."
Mrs. Xue interrupted her next words, and just as she was comparing the two names repeatedly, Xiao 1's voice suddenly rang in Bai Yue's mind.
"Reporting to the players, we have detected that an important plot character has developed faith in you. If they become your believers, the limited-time quest 'God Loves the World', exclusive to the Xuelin Nation, will be launched!"
"Time-limited mission?"
When Bai Yue heard this word, she had a bad feeling, and soon, a strange smiling face appeared in front of her.
"The timer for this mission will only begin after you leave the Wulin Alliance. If you fail to complete it on time, you will receive a punishment more painful than death..."
"Oh, then if he dies, then this mission won't be able to start!"
Just as the system was smirking sarcastically, Bai Yue's voice suddenly became chilling.
"Wait, player, you don't mean to..."
At this moment, the evil smile had turned into horror, and Mrs. Xue, who had finally figured it out, looked at Bai Yue with excitement.
"I understand, I finally understand, it turns out you are a woman..."
"Boom!"
With a muffled thud, Mrs. Xue collapsed to the ground, and beside her lay a turtle with its belly facing up.
"Uncle Xue!"
Faced with this unexpected situation, Lu Wangyou hurriedly squatted down and carefully examined the other party's injuries. At the same time, the system's flattering voice sounded in Bai Yue's mind.
"Dear player, I've used physical means to inflict amnesia on important plot characters. Since you're so wise and powerful, please don't think of killing them!"
