Chapter 229: Mistaken
Chapter 229: Mistaken
While they were soaring through the skies of the planet, Fang Yu suddenly smacked her forehead as she remembered something.
“Ai! How could I forget that!” Fang Yu remembered Andromeda telling her that the suits they wore were fitted with AI, and that each suits can connect with each other.
That means Fang Yu can locate Andromeda through their suits.
Fang Yu then tried to ‘talk’ to her suit.
“Hey suit, can you track where Afromeda is?”
[Sorry, there is no Afromeda in the database. Searching for: Andromeda.]
“....”
Fang Yu disregarded the ignorance of the AI on her jokes as she waited for the results. A few seconds passed by, and she heard the satisfying notification alarm.
[Andromeda located. 10 kilometers North of Fang Yu.]
“That means I am on the right track!” Fang Yu thought smugly. “With my speed, I will arrive on that settlement in no time!”
“Boom!” Fang Yu disregarded the effects of noise pollution as she revved the engines of the suit to the limits. She was so fast that even Genie struggled to pick up.
“Eat my dust, sucker!” Fang Yu said tauntingly to Genie.
“Wait for me!!!!!”
Minutes later, and Fang Yu arrived in what she could roughly call a settlement.
Instead of sturdy houses, what she saw were countless huts scattered in the area. The huts were assorted in sizes and Fang Yu could see that some were fitted for works like blacksmithing.
“Is this one of the far-flung areas?” Fang Yu thought to herself as she observed the inhabitants of the settlement.
Most of them wore fur coats, draped over their bodies. As for the select few, they wore more luxurious-looking silk cloths. Fang Yu can already tell that these few posses high status in the village.
All of them were staring warily at Fang Yu and Genie, who were floating in front of the village. Each of them held their weapons warily, as they watched Fang Yu and Genie’s every movement.
Fang Yu knew they were suspicious because of the suits they wore. After all, someone wearing a clothing covering the whole body will tend to be a bad guy.
“Hey suit, is there a way for my appearance to be shown while wearing the suit? Like I still wear this suit, but the suit will be invisible?”
[Upon Fang Yu’s request, initiating see-through mode.]
The AI wasted no time as it made Fang Yu’s suit disappear. Now, Fang Yu was wearing an invisible suit. This means everyone looking at Fang Yu right now will only see her actual clothes and appearance.
Fang Yu’s glorious beauty was shown to everyone on the village. Fang Yu knew that with someone as beautiful as her, the villagers might settle for a talk.
But what happened next was beyond her expectations.
“The Goddess has descended!!!!!!” Everyone in the village suddenly kneeled and kowtowed in front of Fang Yu. Their faces were filled with zeal as they tried to make their heads as low as possible. Some were even crying tears of joy, as if they already experienced the best part of their life.
“...” Fang Yu’s eyes twitched when she saw everyone prostrating in front of her. Genie, who was behind her was muttering, “So even the greatness of the Milkmaid was recognized here.”
“Shut up Genie!” Fang Yu whispered back. Fang Yu then looked at villagers that were still prostrating in front of her.
Since she was still confused, Fang Yu decided to talk to them first.
“Er.... Hello?”
Instead of greeting her back, the villagers just turned more zealous.
“Ah! The goddess is talking to us! This is a great blessing!”
“Waaahh!!!! I can already die of happiness now!”
“Praise the Goddess!”
“Praise the Goddess!”
“Praise the Goddess!”
“Wait, I... ” Fang Yu tried to calm down the passionate crowd, but they continued on making their ‘faithful’ comments.
“Since the Goddess descended, we must have a banquet for her honor!”
“Yes, gather everyone! Tonight, we shall have a feast for our goddess!”
“Praise the Goddess!”
Everyone scattered as they gathered food, drinks and items for the feast. They all ignored the ‘goddess’ who looked at the situation with shock.
The person wearing the finest clothes in the village, presumably the leader, slowly approached Fang Yu. Since he could not fly, he could only stay directly below Fang Yu.
Fang Yu took it as an invitation to talk. She descended while trying to make herself look as holy as possible.
The leader did not dare too look at Fang Yu directly as he said,
“Oh Great Goddess, we are so happy that you decided to grace us with you presence.”
Wang Hao’s acting lessons kicked in as Fang Yu activated her goddess mode.
“....”
Wang Hao taught Fang Yu and Fang Lin that if they were treated as something that they do not know, the first thing they must do was to not speak at all!
Saying something might just make the other party suspicious. Besides, not speaking will sometimes make a person look more mysterious.
Since she did not know what she was treated was earlier, she had no choice but to talk. But now that she was being treated as a Goddess, she employed the silent treatment as she had no idea how to act as a Goddess.
An awkward silence passed by between the two. When the leader realized that Fang Yu will not speak at all, he respectfully pulled himself back.
A few minutes passed by, and the leader came back, bringing a large chair
The chair was a beautiful one, decorated with colorful gems and minerals. The chair’s materials were clearly a high-quality wood given a perfect finish.
The leader set the chair in front of Fang Yu. He gave Fang Yu another respectful bow as he said,
“Oh Great Goddess, this is the best chair that we can give you. We hope that you sit on it so that we can gift you with our sacrifices later.”
“Sacrifices?” Fang Yu thought to herself. Since she was here already, why don’t she stay for longer? Besides, her AI suit told her that Andromeda already left this village an hour ago. As for where she was now, even the suit could not detect it. In that case, she can stay a little longer in this village first.
Fang Yu said nothing as she sat directly on the throne. The way she sat on the throne was so elegant that most of the villagers who saw her were at a daze. Only when their companions called out to them that they managed to break out of the stupor.
As for Genie, Fang Yu sent her a mental message to scout around the area for any danger. Genie was just as zealous as the villagers as she started scouring immediately.
Fang Yu sitting on the chair indicates her approval of the feast and the sacrificial ceremony.
The villagers became more active as they tried to work faster. Even the leader joined the labor. In no time at all, the feast was already made.
Countless wild pigs, bulls and fowls were roasted. They were stuffed with numerous herbs that managed to make even Fang Yu almost drool. Succulent-smelling drinks were laid on the table, along with more delectable foods.
Fang Yu was now grieving, realizing that if she just did not pretend to be a Goddess, she could have been partaking in this sumptuous feast already.
“F**k! You dare torment your Goddess like this!” Fang Yu thought angrily as she stared at the villagers happily eating in front of her.
“So hungry....” Tang Li muttered sleepily at Fang Yu’s head. Fang Yu could only give her own sad reply.
“‘I’m hungry too.”
After 2 hours of torturous food trip, all the foods and drinks for the feast were already consumed. The leader, who was still happily stroking his tummy, stood up and said with his loud voice,
“Now that the Great Goddess has graced us with our presence, its time for us to give back to her! Commence the sacrifice ritual!”
“Praise the Goddess!”
“You better give me something good or else....” Fang Yu thought to herself angrily. She must still be pissed by her not being able to eat. “You will face the wrath of the Milkmaid!”
........
On a dark room.
Inside the room was an extremely large man. He was around 3 meters tall, with his body covered with muscles comparable to thick cords of steel. He was letting out grunts as his waist was quickly pistoning. Below him a black-haired, tanned woman was letting out moans as her body continuously sheathed and unsheathed the man’s sword.
From the looks of it, it will only be a matter of seconds until the man’s sword will be ‘oiled’ well. But before they could reach that state, someone knocked on the door 10 times.
The man knew that 10 knocks meant that there was an extremely important event happening now. Such matters must be dealt quickly. He had no choice but to pull out the sword from the scabbard. He can just deal with his ‘itch’ later.
He then proceeded cover himself with fine silk robes. As for the woman, she lay on the floor, still spent on their act. It might take her a while before she can stand up.
“What do you want huh?” The man said behind the door. He thought to himself that if this matter was just another one of those false reports, he will immediately kill this impetuous messenger.
“Lord Brutus, apparently, there were some witnesses claiming that they saw people coming from the sky earlier. There were in fact 4 of those people, 3 adults and one child.”
“Where are they now?” The man’s sacred gear lost its hardness as his thoughts were now focused on the people of the sky.
“Umm.... One of the adults went on a separate path, while the other three went to the Rock Village.”
“Rock Village? Hmmph, I guess its time for me to make a visit.”
The man strode out of his large hut while carrying a 5-meter long spear. He flexed his legs as he brought himself to a running stride. Rocks and stones burst out as he strode past countless trees. With his speed, not even a wolf can catch him.
“Hmmph, seeing newcomers today must be a boon of good luck for me. If I capture them, I can sacrifice them to the Goddess!” The man thought zealously.
“Praise the Goddess!”
