My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 709: Schemed Something

Under the glow of lanterns swaying gently in the evening breeze, the Sacred Sakura’s grand hall was filled with warmth and life. After a long day of relentless effort in the sect’s total reconstruction, the core disciples and the heavenly servants gathered around an abundant feast with the Heavenly Agents and Elysium Pantheon.

Their spirits were high, and their hearts were light. Platters of fragrant dishes covered the wooden tables, and the rich aroma of roasted meats, freshly steamed rice, and sweet delicacies filled the air.

Laughter rang through the hall as they shared stories of the day from the amusing mishaps and unexpected accidents.

Their eyes shone with satisfaction. They clinked their cups as they toasted their hard work. At this moment, beneath the vast, starlit sky, they reveled not just in the food but in the bond they had forged... one of resilience, friendship, and unwavering determination to see their reconstructed sacred sect.

"Master, did you know? I was the first one who laid a brick at the first sacred gate of the Sacred Mountain." Jophiel leaned sideways slightly, pressing her body against her master.

"It was memorable. I haven’t seen the complete reconstruction yet. I hope the mini shrines are untouched." Miko replied with a tender smile.

"Mm, the Sacred Mountain’s original shrines and tooris are untouched. All the facilities are renovated, and the dwellers are relocated. The Sacred Mountain is the authentic sacred ground now." Gabriella showed the reconstruction plan for the Sacred Mountain and the seven great mountains.

"We entrust it to you all. Please take me for a tour once it’s done." Miko pushed the plan back into Gabriella’s hands.

She was happy because Sacred Sakura received total assistance from the Heavenly Palace to reconstruct their land into the true sacred sect with complete facilities.

However, she also felt a little sad because the land she cultivated in the past five years would soon become the forbidden area in the name of the sacred ground.

The entire Sacred Mountain would soon be void of any activities and festivities. The Shrine Abode served as her home, but it would soon become a restricted area. Only Sacred Sakura’s representative elders and core disciples could enter the Sacred Mountain once the reconstruction finished.

Yet, she couldn’t help it either. Due to the Nirvana Great War, the path to the Divine World in Sacred Sakura would be sealed. Zi Xuan and Sakura would guard it as the priestesses. Her core disciples and representative elders would be the pillars to protect Sacred Sakura.

To be honest, she only built the Sacred Mountain with some basic facilities. Although her disciples built many other buildings in the entire mountain region in the past four years, almost everyone felt that it still looked too deserted for a holy land.

"..." The ten core disciples were silent for a moment, realizing that a tint of sadness was flashing in their master’s eyes.

The entire plan was designed for everyone’s good. Although the investment came from the Divine World, they as the disciples also wished to keep what their master left behind intact as it was.

They did not wish for that either, but their master would soon ascend to the Divine World for a holy war to protect the world from extraterrestrial threats for an indefinite period of time.

"Master, are you sad?" Jophiel also felt sad as her master looked sad.

"Five years passed like a fleeting wind, and you have all grown up into refined ladies and gentlemen. I feel like I’m getting old..." Miko felt a bit emotional, but she soon adjusted her mood as it should be a joyous occasion.

She treated them like her children, and she didn’t want them to feel sad. The separation would happen next month, so there was still a lot of time they could spend together.

"We’re always your babies." Jophiel puts her fingers on her cheeks, trying to act cute.

"Fufu, yes, my big babies." Miko stroked Jophiel’s head as she looked at her disciples with a warm smile.

"..." The Elysium girls looked at each other as they also felt a bit emotional as if they understood what Miko was feeling.

Elysia wiped a tear from the corner of her eyes. Miko was also her, so she was fully feeling Miko’s sentiments. She had many children already even though her age as Elysia was only a teenager. So many things have happened since she embarked on the journey with her family.

"A malicious entity has been detected near the barrier’s periphery." Yuna reminded the others in case they were unaware of it.

"Let him proceed with whatever he may have planned. Once the construction is over, our mobs will race to take him down." Elena shook her head, beckoning for everyone not to make any move to the mentioned malicious entity.

"..." Yuna remained silent, but she nodded. The mentioned mobs were obviously to the affiliated factions who would do almost anything to curry the Sacred Sakura’s favor.

Seeing that Elysia had recovered from the energy exhaustion, Elena patted Elysia’s thight lightly for attention. "Ely, I’ll return to Elysian Realm."

"Mm, I’ll be there soon." Elysia nodded in reply.

Elena soon entered Elysia’s body, returning to her sanctuary in the Elysian Realm.

After exchanging some pleasantries with her Goddess sisters, Elysia invited everyone to soak in the hot springs. However, she switched with Ai to take over her body as she had to follow Elena to the Elysian Realm because she felt Elena was conflicted about something.

"Hmm..." Ai glanced at Miko as if they were in a tacit understanding.

"Ehee~ It’s time for hot spring." Miko returned to her cheerful attitude.

"They’re obviously scheming something, but I don’t know what’s going on..." Sylvia whispered to her fellow sisters.

"That’s between Ai, Miko, and Elena towards our master." Luna shrugged, finding it a bit amusing.

"Gab-chan, please show me more about the plan for our Sacred Sakura at the hot spring." Miko put her hands together.

"E-eh, ah, alright." Gabriella was stunned for a second. She thought her master didn’t want to know just yet before the reconstruction was complete, but it didn’t seem like that. She didn’t know what happened, but she was glad her master was back to being as cheerful as usual.

After the hearty dinner, all the personnel, whether from Elysium, Heavenly Palace, or the core disciples, went to the hot springs at the mountain’s peak. Unfortunately, most of the people were female, and the male-oriented hot springs felt so lonely and quiet compared to the female hot springs.

"Mama, let me rub your back." Miko put her hands on Ai’s back with a gentle push as if she were eager to arrive at the hot spring sooner.

Ai looked back and grabbed Miko’s hand. Sure enough, Miko misstepped and slipped as she had predicted. "Watch your step."

"O-oh, thank goodness. I was too eager and almost fell." Miko chuckled lightly.

"I want to..." Yuuki murmured under her breath.

"Do you want to rub our master’s back as well? Or, do you want a daughter?" Lynn closed one eye as she nudged Yuuki’s arm.

"Wha- what are you saying, Lynn? We, we have to ask master about it..." Yuuki flinched, stammering with a slight blush.

"Fufu, once the ice melts, it will get wet. Master won’t reject us, but the time isn’t ripe yet." Lynn put her hands on Yuuki’s shoulders, whispering and breathing softly into Yuuki’s fox ears.

"I don’t know." Yuuki ran away from Lynn’s grasp, quickly following her master as if running away from Lynn.

"Like mother, like daughter... They are so fond of teasing others." Vanessa covered her mouth, laughing in amusement.

"Lynn wasn’t such a tease before." Luna mumbled. The change in Lynn’s usual nature happened after the incident. Although she found it was good, the crux of the matter made her a bit restless.

"This is a good thing, right?" Dory felt a bit worried.

"She should be fine. She got treated and cared for so well by Ely." Evelyn pondered about it, but no matter where she looked, Lynn looked happier than ever, especially since the rehabilitation and dream memory by Elysia. Much more, after the polyvalent cultivation, everything felt different and intimate because of Elysia’s divine power flowing within them.

"Here we go again, pal." Michael greeted his fellow comrades with a wry smile.

Because the inner and outer disciples weren’t here, it was just less than ten people, including the heavenly workers. It was so quiet, a far cry from the lively female hot springs at the top which were filled with dozens of people.

"Lady Yuna previously said about a malicious entity. I wonder who would want to mess around with us in our domain." Azrael frowned as his thoughts were elsewhere.

"A piece of advice. Beware of the so-called affiliated allies. Their loyalty will fluctuate after next month." The heavenly artisan raised his finger.

"Yeah, Sacred Sakura will be partially closed to outsiders because of that too." The heavenly architect heaved a subtle sigh.
