Visiting the Palace of Salvation at Night
When Jiang Huailu woke up again, she rubbed her eyes with a drowsy look.
She stepped on the freezing cold floor with her bare, chubby feet that had little round toes.
The ground was a bit cold. She slightly curled up her toes.
Jiang Huailu looked around. The floor was shiny and the big pillar next to her was carved with a dragon and a phoenix. The walls also had traces of the ancient times. After a glance, this wasn’t the cottage house.
Jiang Huailu felt this place was familiar. She then ran out of the hall.
She looked up at the main door of the hall.
The Palace of Salvation.
“The Palace of Salvation? Why am I here in the Palace of Salvation?” Xiao Huailu scratched her head in confusion. The two pigtails on her head had become loose.
There seemed to be a sweeping sound nearby.
Xiao Huailu quickly rushed out and found that she went through the wall. She was startled again.
“These are for you. I’m so sorry.” Jiang Huailu walked to the altar. There was a teenage girl kneeling in front of the altar.
The girl was talking softly as she cleaned everything in the palace.
There were also two large red apples on the altar.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huailu opened her palms and the apples were already in her hands.
Jiang Huailu almost cried when she got the apples. The unique aroma of the apples almost made her dribble.
“You liar, you liar. Boohoo. You said I’ll be able to eat and drink whatever I want after being reborn. You said I’ll be a female emperor and will be worshiped by the world. I was about to be beheaded once I woke up and I’m now exiled. Boohoo. You lied to me, liar.” Xiao Huailu started crying while holding the apples.
Oh god! What kind of a savior would be so miserable?
“The apple smells good and is really delicious.” Crunch, crunch. It was crunchy and sweet, which made her mouth full of saliva.
There were two apples in total. Her tummy had bulged out after eating one, so she kept the other one and was planning to take it back for Xia and her brother.
“But is this a dream?” Xiao Huailu mumbled.
“Ah, the Palace of Salvation has been deserted. Nobody believes in your existence anymore. You must have your own difficulties. Rumor has it that the savior has three heads and six arms, and is tall and fierce. It can repel the evil spirits with a stare. The Palace of Salvation can protect a hundred miles and maintain peace in a city. You haven’t shown up for many years,” the girl mumbled. She was the temple attendant of this generation.
The Palace of Salvation was also the Temple of Salvation.
Their family role had been passed down for countless generations, and by her generation, the Palace of Salvation had become more desolate.
Xiao Huailu lowered her head and looked at her round tummy and chubby toes.
“Well, I guess I’m kind of… tall and fierce.” Xiao Huailu rubbed her tummy without embarrassment. At least her belly was big.
“The Palace of Salvation is extremely huge. After three days, the City Lord will issue an order to tear down the Palace of Salvation. This will be the last time I worship you.”
The girl sighed. There was fog everywhere in Desolate City and places outside of the fog were invaded by the monsters.
The Palace of Salvation occupied a very broad area. These years, there were more and more people in Desolate City and everyone all had thoughts about the Palace of Salvation.
Xiao Huailu pouted gently. They wanted to tear down the Palace of Salvation?
“Ah, ghosts are everywhere. There are only places to stay in Desolate City. I don’t know when we can kill the evil spirits.”
The girl sighed again.
Xiao Huailu lifted her chin and raised her head. She was in a pretty confident posture right now.
“Everyone knows if you put your feet under your blanket when you’re in bed, you’ll not be afraid of ghosts.” This was how she had seen countless people resist evil spirits.
“Pfft.” Someone suddenly laughed from in the corner.
