Chapter 669 - 669 Position Of High Priest
669 Position Of High Priest
Shuang Yin suppressed her doubts and calmly washed the dishes.
She wiped her hands clean. “Mom, go back and rest. I’ll talk to Uncle Yun Hui.”
Huanhuan knew that she was going to ask Yun Hui for confirmation and quickly said, “I can go with you. We’ll testify at the same time. That way, you can better judge the truth.”
“No, go rest first.”
!!
Shuang Yin’s att.i.tude was firm. Huanhuan could only lower her head. “Alright, I’ll go to bed first. Call me if you need anything.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
Shuang Yin went to talk to Yun Hui alone. Huanhuan carried Eggy back to the bedroom upstairs.
Ever since she was reunited with Bai Di and the others, Huanhuan had someone sleeping with her almost every night, but tonight, she could only lie in bed alone. She felt uncomfortable with the emptiness around her.
Eggy rolled on the blanket. “Mom, hug!”
“Yes, I’ll hug you.”
Huanhuan pulled her into her arms and gently stroked her feathers. She said gently, “Good Eggy, go to sleep.”
Eggy was young and could fall asleep easily.
It wasn’t long before she fell asleep.
Her round body undulated slightly with the rhythm of her breathing.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Huanhuan involuntarily closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, when Huanhuan saw Shuang Yin, she realized that her emotions had returned to normal.
She must have confirmed with Yun Hui that what Huanhuan said last night was true.
When Huanhuan was making breakfast, Shuang Yin leaned over and asked softly, “Why didn’t you tell me the truth when you saw me after becoming Yu Tian?”
Ever since her mother left, she had been living in longing for her mother. If she had known that Yu Tian was her mother, their family would have been reunited long ago.
Huanhuan smiled helplessly. “I wanted to tell you everything, but I couldn’t. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?”
Huanhuan thought for a moment and shook her head. “It’s nothing. It’s all in the past. There’s no need to mention it again. You just have to know that the ‘Yu Tian’ you know isn’t dead. You don’t have to be sad. That’s enough.”
After breakfast, Shuang Yin offered to take her mother to the temple.
Huanhuan was puzzled. “Why are we going to the temple for no reason?”
“You used to be the witch doctor of the rock mountain. Now that the rock mountain has become Rock City, you’ve naturally become the high priest of the city. The temple in the city was specially built for you. You haven’t seen it yet, right? I’ll take you around and let you familiarize yourself with the environment.”
“Okay, then. Give me a minute. I’m going to change.”
Huanhuan returned to her room and changed into a long dress. She put on the shark silk outerwear that Sang Ye had sewn for her in the past and put on a veiled hat.
Eggy and Yun Hui followed them down the mountain. The four of them arrived at the door of the temple.
There were two guards standing at the door.
When they saw Shuang Yin, they immediately went forward and bowed. “Your Highness.”
Shuang Yin waved her hand to dismiss them, then led Huanhuan and Yun Hui into the temple.
This was the first time Huanhuan had walked into the temple on the rock mountain. It was built very much like a temple. The interior was s.p.a.cious and bright. The ground was covered in smooth marble slabs, and there were large stone pillars engraved with totems of beasts all around.
There was a pool in the middle of the hall. The lotus leaves in the pool were emerald green, and the water flowed gently.
Shuang Yin explained, “This used to be a pond for small lotuses. When Dad chose the location to build the temple, he built it with this pond as the center.”
When the lotus saw the pond where it was born, it was very happy to lean over and interact intimately with the lotus leaves.
Shuang Yin said as she walked, “After this temple was built, it was handed over to Little Daddy and the Divine Wood clan to take care of. Originally, Dad wanted Little Daddy to temporarily take over the position of high priest, but Little Daddy refused. Hence, the position of high priest fell to Aunt Xue Hui. If you have anything you don’t understand in the future, you can ask Aunt Xue Hui.”
At that time, Xue Ling was overwhelmed by the grief of losing his love and was not in the mood to manage the temple. Therefore, the temple was left to be managed by the Divine Wood clan.
Huanhuan sighed. “I haven’t seen Xue Hui in a long time. I wonder how she’s doing now.”
“The first floor is usually empty. Most of them are on the second floor. I’m guessing Aunt Xue Hui is on the second floor now. Let’s go up and look for her. She’ll be very happy to see you back.”
They walked forward on the spiral staircase.
This staircase was polished from a special mineral. It was snow-white like jade. When one stepped on it, it would make a sound similar to a harp. The pitch of each step was different.
They walked up. The rhythm under their feet was endless, like a mellow piece of music. It was very interesting.
Shuang Yin said very proudly, “This mineral is called Sound Jade. I accidentally discovered it. After I brought it home and Little Daddy saw it, he used it to make the stairs under our feet. Little Daddy said that if you were here and could hear beautiful music every day, you would definitely be in a good mood.”
Huanhuan sighed sincerely. “You guys are really considerate.”
The second floor was much smaller than the first. It was divided into several rooms for work, rest, and reception.
When the divine servants saw Shuang Yin, they lowered their heads and greeted her.
Shuang Yin asked where Xue Hui was.
“Lady Xue Hui is resting. If Your Highness is in a hurry, we can pa.s.s on the message—”
Before the divine servant could finish, Shuang Yin interrupted him. “There’s no need to trouble you. We’ll look for her ourselves.”
“But…”
The divine servant seemed to have some concerns, but Shuang Yin didn’t care. She led Huanhuan and Yun Hui to the bedroom.
There were no locks in this world. Shuang Yin raised her hand to knock, but the door was knocked open.
In the bedroom, Xue Hui was sitting on a strong man. They were both naked and doing a kind of exercise.
Huanhuan immediately pulled Shuang Yin and Yun Hui back.
“Children shouldn’t watch such things. Your eyes will sting!”
Shuang Yin and Yun Hui did not speak, but they were both thinking in their minds that they were not children.
In the bedroom, Xue Hui heard a sound outside the door. She stopped what she was doing and said in a charming voice, “Shuang Yin, is that you?”
Shuang Yin replied, “Yes.”
“Wait a moment. I’ll be done soon.”
It didn’t take long for the exercise inside to end. Xue Hui then opened her mouth and said that the visitors outside could come in.
Shuang Yin pushed open the door and walked in. She saw Xue Hui sitting on the bed. She was wearing a thin shark silk dress. The straps slid down her arms, revealing her enchanting body and a large area of honey-colored skin.
The man she had just made out with was dressed. The two kissed.
Xue Hui said, “Wait for me outside.”
The man reluctantly left.
When he pa.s.sed Huanhuan, the airflow lifted a corner of the snow silk veil, revealing half of Huanhuan’s face.
Xue Hui happened to see it.
She immediately looked horrified as if she had seen a ghost.
