Chapter 995 The first prodigal goddess in history!
Chapter 995 The first prodigal goddess in history!
……
"His Royal Highness, please come in."
Wang Shouzhe's soft voice came from the study.
Goddess Xinglan pushed the door open with apprehension, and saw Wang Shouzhe sitting at the desk writing something, looking very serious.
Because of the angle problem, half of Wang Shouzhe's face was hidden in the shadows, only the full forehead, straight nose bridge, and excellent profile were particularly clear under the outline of light and shadow.
In the red copper censer at the corner of the desk, curls of sandalwood are rising.
On the coffee table at the side, a furnace of fairy tea was warming on the stove, exuding a fresh and rich tea fragrance.
For some reason, after seeing this scene, Goddess Xinglan's originally apprehensive mood calmed down inexplicably.
Seeing Wang Shouzhe's focused expression, she didn't dare to disturb him, but stood aside obediently, grinding fairy ink and pouring a cup of fairy tea for him from time to time.
After a long time, Wang Shouzhe stopped writing and looked at Goddess Xinglan with a smile: "Your Highness has just returned to the Promise Palace, so there should be many trivial matters to deal with. I live quite comfortably in this [Luming Garden], Your Highness No need to pay too much attention.”
Not concerned?
If the quasi-goddess doesn't pay attention, I'm afraid you will eat the Nine-color Immortal Deer at some point.
Goddess Xinglan had broken thoughts in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she could only bite the bullet and say with a blushing face: "Actually, Xinglan came to see you this time, yes, I have something to ask for your help. It's just this matter. It’s hard to say, and I don’t know where to start.”
Wang Shouzhe smiled softly, first invited Goddess Xinglan to sit down, then made her a pot of tea alone, and then said: "Your Highness Goddess is too polite, you and I are from the same lineage, we should support each other. If Your Highness If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell Shouzhe, I will definitely help if I can."
Sure enough, as Nine Colors Immortal Deer said, Mr. Shouzhe is rich and gentle.
Listening to his warm words and looking at his calm and gentle face, Goddess Xinglan seemed to be encouraged by her spirit. She took a deep breath, and then joined hands with Elder Baohu from Shenbao Hall and Patriarch Jiyan from Nanming Temple He tried to force her to marry Ming Zhe Zhun Shenzi, and explained it in detail.
Wang Shouzhe's expression gradually became dignified, and after a moment of pondering, he said, "Her Majesty Goddess, how can Shouzhe help you?"
"Borrow, borrow money..." Goddess Xinglan swallowed, feeling extremely nervous.
She has lived for more than 4000 years, and this is the first time she has asked someone to borrow money, so she inevitably blushes and panics.
"Your Highness is so nervous, what should I do?" Wang Shouzhe said with a calm smile, "Shouzhe still has some spare money in his hands. I wonder how much Your Highness wants to borrow?"
Hearing Mr. Shouzhe's tone, Goddess Xinglan relaxed slightly, and said, "A thousand chaotic spirit stones."
After she finished speaking, she regretted a little, and hurriedly said: "If you think it's too much, you can borrow six or seven hundred Chaos Spirit Stones."
Wang Shouzhe's expression didn't change at all, as if whether it was six or seven hundred or thousands of chaotic spirit stones, it was just a number to him.
But he didn't agree immediately, but pondered for a while, and then said: "Borrowing money is fine, but according to the current economic situation of Jingu Temple, it may be difficult to repay the money in a short time. "
"I don't know Her Majesty the Goddess, do you have a repayment plan?"
Goddess Xinglan was stunned.
She really didn't think about the repayment plan at all...
Her face was flustered with embarrassment, and she couldn't help but say in shame: "Master Shouzhe, Xinglan is telling the truth, our shrine is currently struggling to make ends meet every year, I... I... I am willing to act like a willow..."
Before she finished speaking, Wang Shouzhe hurriedly interrupted: "Your Highness, shut up!"
He was also quite speechless.
Talking about borrowing money in a decent manner, why is it so often like the posture of a willow, and promises with your body?It made him look like a big villain who used money to blackmail girls.
Goddess Xinglan's face turned even redder, and she was a little bit ashamed and indignant, her eyes were gloomy.
Unexpectedly, she was willing to sacrifice herself, but was flatly rejected by Mr. Shouzhe.
Could it be that, in the eyes of Mr. Shouzhe, she is the majestic Xinglan Goddess, she really looks like a willow?
"Ahem!" Wang Shouzhe straightened his posture and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. In fact, in Shouzhe's heart, the Promise Palace is sitting on a treasure house and doesn't know it. As long as Your Highness is willing to change his mind, thousands of people will be confused." What are spirit stones?"
"Why do you have to hurt yourself so much?"
Goddess Xinglan froze for a moment, her eyes were a bit sad and disappointed: "I understand what Mr. Shouzhe means. Based on the background of the shrine, if you sell some spiritual veins, Taoism books, Hunyuan Taoism, etc., you can indeed quickly Raise spirit stones."
"It's just that the assets of the Promise Shrine are the foundations accumulated by generations of ancestors, and they are also the hope for the resurgence of the Shrine in the future."
"You sell some today, and I'll sell some tomorrow. The shrine must be getting weaker and weaker, gradually losing the ability to turn around."
Because of this, Goddess Xinglan would rather brazenly commit herself to Wang Shouzhe to solve the problem than reduce the background of the palace.
Of course, there is also a factor of Shouzhe's personal charm.
If it were Ming Zhe, the quasi-god son, she wouldn't even want to glance at him.
"Your Highness is right, but Shouzhe doesn't mean it." Wang Shouzhe didn't refute her words, but threw a big cake with his hands, "Your Highness wants to solve the predicament and at the same time earn a lot of money for the shrine. background?"
"?"
Immediately, Goddess Xinglan's starry eyes widened, her face full of doubts.
The Jingu is so poor, how can it make money?Where do you make money from?
"If Your Highness is willing to risk everything, Shouzhe has a plan to help His Highness realize his dream in the first step." Wang Shouzhe took a sip from his teacup slowly, his tone extremely indifferent.
"Yes, I am willing to risk everything." Goddess Xinglan's eyes lit up immediately, and she pulled Wang Shouzhe's arm excitedly, "If you can really do what Mr. Shouzhe said, you can do whatever you want to Xinglan."
I want you to let me go first, don't make any fuss.
Wang Shouzhe glared at her, ordered her to sit upright, and then said the business with a very serious expression: "Before drawing up a strategy, please provide some core information about the shrine. Don't hide anything."
"it is good."
Next, Wang Shouzhe asked and Goddess Xinglan answered.
As the problem gradually deepened, Wang Shouzhe's understanding of the Promise Shrine also deepened step by step.
Unknowingly, a rudimentary plan was deduced and repaired step by step in Wang Shouzhe's mind, and gradually completed.
After three full days and three nights.
Goddess Xinglan left 【Luming Garden】with a red face.
It was as if she had eaten top-notch natural materials and earthly treasures, her whole body was full of passion and enthusiasm, and there was a kind of light called "hope" in her eyes.
After she leaves.
Wang Longyan, Wang Anye, and a Nine-Colored Immortal Deer came out of the darkness and gathered together.
Nine Colors Immortal Deer reported with certainty: "Sister Longyan, brother Anye. Xiaolu is right, right? Our goddess Xinglan is plotting against Mr. Shouzhe."
"Three days and three nights~"
"Aooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
"Shut up. Shouzhe has worked so hard for the family all his life, what's wrong with enjoying it occasionally?" Wang Longyan glared at Nine Colors Immortal Deer in embarrassment, "This matter is rotten in my stomach, no one is allowed to say .”
"Sister Longyan, don't worry." Nine Colors Immortal Deer said with her chest held high, "I will personally guard the young master later, and I will resolutely not allow the goddess to step into the young master's study."
Wang Anye also shook his head, saying that he hadn't seen or heard anything.
Only Wang Longyan was still worried.
If this matter is not handled properly, the foundation of the family will be shaken.
However, other things can be discussed with others, but the less people know about this matter, the better. She doesn't even have anyone to discuss with, so she can only secretly think about how to solve the family crisis.
Hey~ I'm so worried about her.
******
Goddess Xinglan didn't know that when she entered and exited the room, some people had secretly made up tens of thousands of words of drama.
As the "culprit", at this moment, her mind is full of the glorious future that Wang Shouzhe has planned for her.
If the grand blueprint that Wang Shouzhe drew for her in the portable cave back then was only a basic outline, there is already a corner of the huge blueprint that has a specific implementation plan.
In this case, how could she care about anything else?
After bidding farewell to Wang Shouzhe, she rushed directly to the treasure hall of the Wuji Shrine, and said to Master Chenguang, "Master, I have figured it out. I am willing to sacrifice myself to marry the quasi-God Son Mingzhe."
Daoist Chen Guang was thin and gray with gray temples. It was obvious that he had worked hard for the Wuji Shrine all his life and had his heart broken.
Hearing this, his body shook, he put down his pen and ink, his eyes were full of distress and apology for his apprentice: "Xing Lan, it's useless as a teacher, it drags you down, and it's also Shen Gong who is sorry for you."
Goddess Xinglan's face was slightly sad and angry, and she was a little bit unwilling. After a little hesitation, she said: "It stands to reason that Xinglan, as a disciple of the Shrine, should sacrifice for the Shrine. Somewhat reconciled~"
Seeing that Xinglan was so uncomfortable, Daoist Chenguang felt even more uncomfortable like a knife piercing a needle.
He was extremely guilty and said: "Xinglan, if you have any wishes, just tell me, my teacher will satisfy you no matter what."
What you've been waiting for.
Goddess Xinglan straightened her expression, and said in a crisp tone, "I want to be the current Palace Master."
"..."
Daoist Chenguang was silent for a while.
He never expected that his apprentice would directly usurp the throne!
After a moment of silence, he sighed: "Xing Lan, it's not that Master is nostalgic for the position of Palace Master of this generation."
"It's just that as a teacher, I know how hard it is to be the palace master of this generation, and the responsibility on my shoulders is as heavy as Tianyuan Shenshan."
"You are only four thousand and a few hundred years old, and you are still young. I'm afraid you can't bear such a heavy burden. Why don't you study hard, and when you reach the Primordial Realm, the master will immediately pass on to you."
Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with Taoist Master Chenguang's words.
But this is an extraordinary time, and she can't afford to wait.
Goddess Xinglan took a deep breath and said firmly, "100 years!"
"Master, please give me 100 years to try. If I can change the situation and reverse the decline of the Jingu Palace, I will consider the matter of marrying with the ancestor Ji Yan in the long run."
"If I, Xinglan, are unable to return to heaven, everything will be my fate."
"At that time, I will resign myself to my fate, obey Master's arrangement honestly, and assist Ming Zhe's quasi-God Son to fight for the inheritance of the Son of God."
Taoist Chen Guang was almost laughed out of anger.
Xing Lan, are you questioning your ability to manage as a teacher?
It has been more than [-] years since I, Chen Guang, took over the position of "Deputy Palace Master", and I barely managed to turn the tide, but I still couldn't stop the gradual decline of the palace.
But you, my dear apprentice, want to turn things around in just 100 years, from decline to prosperity...
This is undoubtedly the Arabian Nights.
"Xing Lan, I know that you are not willing to be reconciled as a teacher! But how much can you change if you have been in charge of the shrine for a hundred years?" Taoist Master Chen Guang sighed helplessly.
"Master, do you dare to take a gamble?" Goddess Xinglan looked at Daoist Chenguang fixedly, her words were provocative, but the look in her star eyes was extremely firm, "It's just the position of the palace master for a hundred years. Are you still afraid that I will steal your limelight?"
"Haha~~" Daoist Chenguang laughed angrily, "Forget it. As a teacher, I understand that if this request cannot satisfy you, you will not really be willing."
"Since you want to gamble, I will gamble with you as a teacher."
Goddess Xinglan's eyes lit up, and she immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue her: "If I can do it, then how the shrine develops will be up to me."
"Row."
Taoist Chen Guang was also aroused a little bit of anger.
This precious disciple of my family is really too naive, he has never really suffered, and he is a little ignorant.That being the case, let this cruel world teach her a good lesson.
His expression was slightly cold, and his tone became cold and hard: "If you can do it, the word 'generation' will be removed from now on, and you will be the real Palace Master of the Promise Palace. If you can't..."
"If I can't do it, I will be willing to marry God Son Ming Zhe and implement the plan to save the God Palace with curves." Goddess Xinglan also made a powerful promise.
"A word is settled!"
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
The master and apprentice stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, facing each other like red-eyed bullfights, completely in a posture of fearing that the other party would go back on their word.
"I have something to say first, since I want to be in power for a hundred years, I have to decide all the big and small things in this shrine. If some elders refuse to accept it, so what should I do? If this is the case, I will not be reconciled even if I lose " Goddess Xinglan blinked and began to add conditions.
This request is very reasonable.
Taoist Master Chenguang thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no problem, so he patted his chest and agreed: "Everything is supported by a teacher. You can do it freely. Even if you make a mistake, you don't have to be afraid. Everything will be taken care of by your teacher." .”
In his opinion, a mere hundred years has passed in a flash, and there are limited things that can be changed after all. Even if girl Xinglan made a mistake and caused some losses, when he returns to power, he can naturally turn things around again.
These are all minor issues, as long as girl Xinglan is willing to marry Mingzhe quasi-god son, it will be of great benefit to Jingu.
The more Taoist Chen Guang thought about it, the more he felt that it was reasonable. As if he was afraid of Goddess Xinglan's repentance, he hurriedly signed a contract with her and handed over the [Wuji God Seal] which is a symbol of power.
After finishing all this, he took Goddess Xinglan's hand, and solemnly entrusted her: "Xinglan, within 100 years from today, you will be the helmsman of Wuji Shrine! Do whatever you want, don't worry about it." Leave regrets and regrets for the rest of your life. As a teacher, you will notify all units in the Jingu~~~"
Although Daoist Chenguang didn't have any hope for this matter, he still had some expectations in his heart, what if?
What if the baby apprentice is really a genius and a miracle happens?
"Master, don't worry." Goddess Xinglan held the seal of Wuji God in both hands, her expression was extremely solemn, and a hint of fanaticism and determination flashed in her eyes, "The shrine will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes in my hands."
Daoist Chenguang nodded secretly.
Ambitious~
Just a disciple, although the dream is good, the reality is cruel.I just hope that when you fail in the future, you can accept the reality and not be hit too hard~
However, what Taoist Chenguang never expected was that after a short while, the Promise Shrine really "turned upside down"!
******
Goddess Xinglan replaced Taoist Chenguang in charge of the Wuji Shrine, which is undoubtedly a shocking news.
In just one month, the news spread throughout the entire Shrine and Wuji City.
However, after the initial surprise, everyone in the Promise Shrine system slowly came to their senses and readily accepted the change.
Goddess Xinglan is originally the successor of Jingu, and given the current economic situation of Jingu, it is impossible to train a second quasi-goddess. It can be said that Shenu will definitely be handed over to her in the future.
The future also points to her great promise~
Now she is just in charge of the shrine in advance, so it should be tempered.
Similar situations are not uncommon in history.The only difference is that Xinglan is still too young now, only four or five thousand years old.
Moreover, the cycle of this time is only a hundred years. This time is just a snap of the fingers, not to mention for the bosses at the Hunyuan Realm level, even for the Goddess Xinglan of the Da Luo Realm.
Even if Xing Lan accidentally made a mistake, it would not be difficult to reverse it later.
Many elders and deacons in the shrine have even made up their minds in secret. If Xinglan has any ideas and plans, they will try their best to help her and satisfy her, and will never push back.
……
Just when many elders in the shrine were disturbing and each had their own thoughts.
One of the Guest Houses of the Promise Shrine - [Guanchao Garden].
Similar to [Luming Garden] where Wang Shouzhe lived temporarily, [Guanchao Garden] is also a very good courtyard in the Promise Shrine.
However, compared with Luming Garden, which is full of spiritual plants, surrounded by Lingxi River, with nine-color deer pacing in it, and has an idyllic style, the scenery in Guanchao Garden is a little less graceful and more graceful. Added a touch of majesty and atmosphere.
The buildings in the garden are very distinctive. Not only are they generally taller, but almost every building has a terrace or sky garden on the top.
The views of these terraces or sky gardens are quite good. After twilight, standing in these terraces and sky gardens, you can clearly enjoy the rushing and gorgeous Tianhe above your head.
Every time the seasons change, the surging energy in the Milky Way will form tides, and colorful lights will bloom in the night sky, which is brilliant and beautiful.
【Guanchao Garden】is also named after this.
And the one who lives in this [Guanchao Garden] now is Baohu, the elder of the Shenbao Hall.
Now the Wuji Shrine asked Elder Baohu, so they naturally gave him the best hospitality.
The small building where Elder Baohu lived in the Chaoguan Garden is also the best building in the entire Chaoguan Garden. Not only is the area where the aura is the most abundant, but it is also the best place to "watch the tide".
now.
In the sky garden at the top of the small building.
Elder Baohu and Goddess Xinglan were sitting opposite each other drinking tea, chatting and admiring the mighty Milky Way across the sky above their heads.
In the Milky Way, the surging energy tide blooms with gorgeous brilliance. Looking from below, it seems that a piece of jade-colored light has enveloped the heaven and earth, which is too beautiful to behold.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Goddess." Elder Bao Hu had obviously heard the news that Goddess Xinglan replaced the Taoist Lord Chenguang in charge of the shrine, with a warm smile on his rich face, and a very polite attitude towards Goddess Xinglan, "So Taking charge of the Wuji Shrine at such a young age, it seems that the future is boundless, boundless~"
"Sigh~ my generation of palace lords is under a lot of pressure~" Goddess Xinglan sipped her tea and couldn't help sighing, "I'm here this time, but I still want to invite the rich and treasured Shenbao Palace, please support me~"
"It's easy to talk about~ If Her Highness the Goddess has any excellent ideas, our Divine Treasure Hall will definitely help." Elder Baohu smiled all over his face, and casually drew a big cake.
He said it all, "excellent idea"!
As for what is excellent?Isn't it his treasure gourd who has the final say?
For example, if she wants to take this opportunity to postpone the return of the special loan for the God of Creation Pill, then give her some face and postpone it until 100 years later.
He had also heard about the bet, and it seemed to be quite beneficial to God Zi Ming Zhe.
A mere hundred years, just a snap of the fingers.The cruel fairy world society will teach her what reality is.
"I have a lot of plans to implement, but I'm short of money." Goddess Xinglan said truthfully.
Is it so direct?
Elder Bao Hu's expression froze, and he immediately laughed as if nothing had happened: "Your Highness Goddess, you might as well tell me the number, and see if I can satisfy you. However, it has been agreed in advance that the loan must be secured..."
He wasn't finished yet.
Goddess Xinglan waved her hand and slapped the table with a "bang".
Elder Baohu was so shocked that his words froze instantly when he reached his mouth.
After finally waiting for him to calm down, when he was about to ask, Goddess Xinglan had already moved her slap away.
On the table, there was a thick stack of title deeds.
The whole body of this stack of land deeds is glowing with golden light, and a special charm blooms from it, and the texture looks extremely good.
This is a paper contract made with seventeenth-level divine plants, and it can be immortalized for millions of years, or even tens of millions of years.
This is the special land deed paper for the Ninth Grade Spirit Vein!
In such a scene, Elder Baohu's pupils shrank slightly, and the words got stuck again when he reached his mouth. I don't know what kind of madness Goddess Xinglan is going through.
"When my master succeeded to the throne, there were still 37 ninth-rank spiritual veins left in the shrine. Now, 10 years later, six of them have been completely lost. Now there are only 31 left, and eight of them are nine-rank spiritual veins. As a pledge, it was mortgaged to the Hall of the Guishen."
"Now, we only have 23 ninth-grade spiritual veins left in our hands."
Goddess Xinglan said word by word.
"This..." Elder Baohu twitched his eyelids, and hurriedly defended, "Although that's the case, it's just a purely commercial act. Her Highness the Goddess just took charge of the shrine, and she's ready to settle the old score, right?"
"No!"
Goddess Xinglan's gaze was determined and calm, but her voice was sonorous and forceful: "The remaining 23 ninth-grade spiritual veins, I have mortgaged them all, and borrowed [-] chaotic spirit stones from the noble palace!"
"What?!"
"All mortgaged?!"
Elder Baohu was so frightened that he stood up directly, his small black eyes widened, and his expression was full of joy.
But at this moment, he can't care about expression management at all.
His current mood is like being poured a pot of hot oil in his pocket, or like being kicked by someone suddenly, his heart is numb, shocked and unbelievable, There is a sense of unreality like falling into a dream.
It is said that the acting palace lord of Chenguang is the most prodigal acting palace lord in the history of Wuji Shrine.
But compared to Goddess Xinglan's behavior today, Taoist Master Chenguang is nothing!
It's only been a month since she has been in charge of the Jingu Palace. Is Goddess Xinglan ready to win the title of the first prodigal Palace Master in one fell swoop? ! ! !
