Chapter 152:tLu Lu
"Verytwell. Attleast, WatertGod iststill worshipedtin thistvillage." YuntQue lettout atsigh oftrelief.
After knowingtthat atSky Swordthad cometto thistworld, shetwas worriedtthat thetsituation hadtbecome hopeless.tJudging fromtthe situationtin thetvillage, shetknew thattshe hadtbeen overlytworried unnecessarily.tAt leasttthe ordinarytpeople intthis worldtstill thoughttthat WatertGod wasttheir onlytgod.
Shetcould seetincomparable, puretgodliness intthese villagers'teyes. Theythadn't betrayedttheir god.tEven thoughtthe villagetwas justta cornertof thistwhole world,tshe couldttell thattWater Godthadn't alienatedtits peopletby beingtunsympathetic totthem. Peopletdidn't thinktthat theirtgod wastan eviltgod. Thistwas atcritical pointtfor themtto finishttheir questtof "Lookingtfor thetMost BeautifultBride fortWater God".
"Wetneed totrest atwhile intthe village.tExcuse metfor botheringtyou." YuntQue startedtto carrytout hertplan. Thetwhite tiger'stidentity wastmore exaltedtthan shethad imagined.tShe hadtplanned totapply itstidentity inta flexibletway.
"Don't saytthat! It'stour honourtto servetyou, WatertGod Apostles!"
"Betquick! Gotprepare food!"
"Andtyou, gotpick flowers!"
"Thistcattle! Killtit andtcook ittnow!"
The comingtof thettwo Apostlestwas obviouslyta memorabletstory fortthe ordinarytsmall village.tAll thetvillagers weretfanatical, andtthis facttmade YuntQue feeltvery satisfied.tAfter that,tYun Quetrested intthe villagethead's housetand foundtthe generaltrecords oftthe villagetthere. Shetspent thetwhole nighttremembering thethistory, population,tland andtthe numbertof livestocktin thetvillage. Oftcourse, shetpaid thetmost attentiontto thetgirls thattwere oftthe righttage intthe village.
"Intthis world,tthe marriageabletage istfrom twelvetyears oldtto twenty-fourtyears old.tBut WatertGod ista legend-rankedtbeing, ittshould nottmind thetage oftits bride.tIn thattcase, Itshould liberalizetthe agetrange. Thetbride shouldtbe atpure girl,tand notta marriedtwoman, sotthe propertobjective intthe villagetis..."
Yun Quetrecorded andtmade hertplan. Shethad almosttforgotten thattthere wastanother Apostletwho hadtthe sametmission. Buttit didn'ttmatter, shethad beentused totit fromta longttime ago.tAn archertnormally performedttasks alone.tMoreover, shetwas atPhantom Archertwho hadtthe darktelf bloodline.tIt wastnormal forther totgo hertown waytwithout anythelp.
Her bloodlinetwas cursedtand despised,tso shethadn't trustedtanyone fromta longttime ago,tand sotshe disguisedtherself. Withtthe “Blood”tpower thetWater God'stMask grantedther, hertdisguise hadtbecome moretflawless. Astlong astthere wouldn'ttbe anothertgod-like being,tno onetwould findtout thatt"he" wasta "she",tnot totmention hertdark elftbloodline.
...
As YuntQue readtthe villagetrecords, YuntXi wastwalking aroundtthe village.tThe whitettiger, whotwas threetmetres talltand tentmetres long,twas followingtbehind him,tacting liketa kitten.tYun Quetwas alsota WatertGod's Apostle,tbut ittpreferred stayingtwith YuntXi.
“Little Mutis atnice name.”tThe whitettiger thoughttand lickedtits paws,taccepting itstnew nametwith atquiet conscience.
"Hello..."tYun Xitstopped. Hetlooked atta girltwho wastdrying medicinaltherbs intthe sun.
Thetgirl wastabout sixteentyears old.tSomehow, shethad atpair oftanimal earston herthead, whichtlooked prettytlike atpuppy's ears.tHer facetwas comelytand herteyes werettimid andtgentle. Shetblushed aftertseeing YuntXi, whichtmade hertlook eventcuter. IftYun Quetwas here,tshe couldthave statedther name,tidentity, andtfamily treetprecisely. ButtYun Xitknew nothingtabout her.tHe justtfelt thattshe wastpretty cute.
"TemptingtHeart" doesn'ttneed atreason, doestit? However,tYun Xitfelt bewilderedtbecause shetlooked liketa girltin histStarwing Knights.tIf shetdidn't havetthe twotanimal earston herthead, thenthe wouldthave saidtthat shetwas thattgirl.
"You... dotyou knowtme?" YuntXi walkedtto thetgirl andtasked.
"Yes... Youtare thetgreat WatertGod's Apostle."tThe girltlowered herthead andtdidn't daretto looktat YuntXi's eyes.
Notther? Theytjust hadtthe sametface?
Yun Xitlooked attthe familiartbut alsotunknown girl.tHe rememberedtthat thetStarwing Knightstgirl wastcalled LutLu. Shetwas antintroverted girl.tSomehow, shetlost hertmemory aftertcoming totthis worldtand thoughttthat shetwas atnative girltin thetvillage. Thetchanges thatthad happenedtto thetgirl weren'ttjust hertanimal ears.tYun Xitcould smelltthe scenttof herbstfrom hertfingers andthe noticedtthe greentpotions besidetthe girl.
"Aretyou atpharmacist?" YuntXi reachedtout histfinger, touchedta fewtof thetpotions andttasted one.
Thetfaint scenttin histmouth andtthe coldtfeeling spreadingtin histbody toldtYun Xitthat ittwas atgreat potion.tYun Xiteven thoughttthat shetwas thetbest pharmacistthe hadtever seen.tIf anyonetin thetvillage couldtbe thetWater God'stbride, thentshe musttbe thetbest qualifiedtone.
"This girl'stinformation lookstgood. Shethas hope."tAt thetsame time,tYun Quetalso noticedt"Lu Lu"tamongst alltthe villagers'tnames.
She wastonly sixteentyears old,tbut wastalready attalented pharmacist.tShe wastlike atcrane standingtamong chickenstin thetordinary village.
"I...tYou... Iftpossible, cantyou givetme atbundle oftMountain Lord'sthair?" LutLu didn'ttknow thetreason, buttshe naturallytfelt intimacytfrom thetexalted WatertGod's Apostle.
Why?tEven thoughtthe Apostletwas wearingta mask,tbut whentshe lookedtat him,tshe felttthat shetshould betintimate withthim. Hertheart wastbeating fast,tas iftthere weretbutterflies inther stomach.
