My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 672: The One Who Passed the Entrance Test

After a refreshing shower, Elysia returned to her original mature form. When she returned to the Nature Palace’s living room, everyone had prepared dinner on the large dining table.

"Ely, we can’t thank you enough for all the fun and delicious food you brought us. This time, we’re the cook~" Vanessa hopped around, urging Elysia to sit in the master seat.

"Hmm-mm~ I should be the one thanking you." Elysia tapped Vanessa’s arm. She then looked aside, glancing at Miko.

"I’m not the cook. Everyone contributed to preparing this magnificent dinner." Miko waved her hands and shook her head.

"Hm, but you seem to have made more. We should leave some for our core disciples, representative elders, Zi Xuan, and Sakura. Tomorrow is a big day, and they need extra nutrition." Elysia saw the dishes on the table were many and varied, but there were still more on the nearby trays and service trolleys.

"That goes without saying. We have already prepared a dinner package for our combatants." Elena replied with a wink. She offered her hand and guided Elysia to the master seat.

After Elysia was seated, Elena opened the family dinner with an opening speech, expressing gratitude for everything they had accomplished so far.

The family dinner took place in a lively, warm, and pleasant atmosphere. It wasn’t just about relishing the delicious, high-quality food that could boost their cultivation, but about the sisterhood bond for every Elysium Family member.

As the night deepened, the family dinner ended and everyone left the Nature Realm, except for Lifa, Celes, and Hea.

"Welcome back." Zi Xuan greeted respectfully, followed by the little pink tree spirit on her head.

"Thank you. We gained a lot today. We also brought dinner for you. Please enjoy it while it’s warm." Elysia handed a package of dinner boxes to Zi Xuan and Sakura.

"Rua." Sakura received the box and thanked her Goddess Master, even though she couldn’t eat it. She was still a tree spirit, and physical food was not for her, but it was still the precious gift given by her Goddess Master. By burying it in the ground near her true body, she could still enjoy it as fertilizer.

Gabriella came to the courtyard in a bit of a hurry. She clasped her fist to pay her respect. "Master, welcome back. We have some things to report."

"Shush, don’t rush it. You haven’t had dinner yet, so we brought souvenirs for you and everyone." Miko pressed her finger to her lips as she handed over ten dinner packages to Gabriella.

"U-uh, thank you, master." Gabriella carefully accepted the ten large packages.

"It’s a souvenir from master? Let me help you!" Jophiel leaped from the backyard, arriving instantly to help things out.

"Let’s distribute the dinner package to the other disciples. We can talk on the way, Gab-chan." Miko led the way as she wanted to meet her disciples, not just her ten core disciples. She brought over 150 packages for all her disciples.

After Miko and the disciples left, Luna, Lynn, Yusagi, Vanessa, Morfina, Yae, Evelyn, Ella, Ariel, and Dory went to their respective forces and affiliated factions. Tomorrow, the internal affiliated factions would also participate in storming the Caelum World, purging the evil heretics. Everyone had to be well-prepared and fully charged.

Since the Sanguine Occult was nearby, Elysia only had to send a notice to Alicia, and the great mages of the Sanguine Occult immediately answered her call even though it was only for dinner.

"Thank you for your food buffs, my Goddess. We’ll fully charge our power before tomorrow." Alicia clenched her fists excitedly.

"Take it easy. We’ll leave at noon, not in the morning. The demon queen will cause trouble for those heretics first." Elysia tapped Alicia’s arm, knowing that everyone’s spirits were high.

She peered at the Sacred Sakura’s vicinity just now, and the combatants who would be going with her to the Caelum World tomorrow literally prepared themselves for a large-scale war with a combat power that might be enough to take over the world...

"Thank you for the meal." Zi Xuan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief gracefully.

"Hmm, so the Nightmare Demon Clan has become a bit restless, huh. Does Abraham want to ascend to the Divine World too? Ely barely did anything, and all that happened." Elena rubbed her chin, slightly disturbed by this matter.

However, Elysia was not too bothered by this matter. "Nobody will become Wakai Akuma again. The entire matter will resolve itself in five months, whether they want to accept it or not."

"We literally deceived them." Ai nodded in reply.

"That should be fine since it was them who assumed things as they pleased. Ely never did anything wrong, let alone deceive them. Look at the bright side, those ancient demons became good demons because of the entire misunderstanding." Elena sighed, throwing the matter behind her.

"Hmm-mm~ anyway, what about our new disciple? She is the first one to pass the entire entrance test." Elysia sat in front of Zi Xuan, resting her chin on her intertwined fingers.

"Her name is Nuwa Kiryuin, a survivor from a village in the eastern region. I heard her village was destroyed by monsters, and she was one of the few survivors of the incident. She came to Sacred Sakura because she heard the rumor that Sacred Sakura is the strongest holy land above all the other sects." Zi Xuan explained a little, but there was still something that bothered her a little. Therefore, she added. "But, is it possible for you to check her out, master?"

"Do you suspect she is a reincarnation of some powerful figure of the past?" Elysia could guess what Zi Xuan suspected. After all, the entrance test could be said to be too difficult because her disciples had high standards.

"Mm..." Zi Xuan did feel a bit suspicious because she faintly could feel the new disciple hiding so many secrets. However, she also suspected that the new disciple might be a possessed one, a powerful soul who took over one’s body, or it could be a girl with an immortal soul who served as a master in secret.

The basis of all her suspicions was anchored in the ring the new disciple was wearing. She couldn’t peer into it as she saw nothing inside, but her hunch said there was something.

"Sure. We’ll look into her as soon as possible. Her name is Nuwa Kiryuin... Nuwa... this name is familiar." Elysia tapped her chin, trying to recall something.

"That is Goddess Nuwa, the Mother Goddess who created all of humankind. She is also the Goddess of nature, order, fertility, and marriage. It has been a long time since she ascended to the higher world." Gaia explained what she knew, but it was information from tens of thousands of years ago.

"I’ve heard of it. According to Chinese mythology, Goddess Nuwa is a serpent with a woman’s head." Erina raised her hand and joined the conversation.

"That is the form she uses when she descends to the mortal world. In the Heaven Realm, she is a gorgeous lamia, but nobody will think that she is good. Unlike Fuxi, Nuwa is extremely neutral." Gaia nodded in response.

"Are they the same person? I don’t think so. Ely can easily sense if a divinity is nearby, even if it is just a soul fragment of the reincarnated one." Elena shook her head.

"Hmm, how about we confirm it now?" Elysia put her hands together.

Since that was the case, Elysia went with Zi Xuan to check on the new disciple, followed by the other curious girls. However, they only observed from afar. Only Elysia and Zi Xuan personally went to visit the disciples’ quarters on the Sacred Mountain’s slope.

*Knock* *Knock*

Zi Xuan knocked on the door, but no one responded to her even though she knew someone was inside. "Disciple Nuwa, I am Priestess Zi Xuan, please open the door."

Nuwa gasped in surprise as she never expected the shrine priestess would visit her. She thought it was a bad person’s night visit. The moonlight spilled through the wooden door of her small abode, and she faintly felt the familiar sacred aura. The visitor was really the shrine priestess.

She scrambled to her feet and opened the door.

"He-hello... Priestess Zi Xuan. To what do I owe your visit?" Nuwa came out of her abode a little nervously. It was an honor to have a visit from a shrine priestess, but it was already nighttime, and obviously, it was not just about a formal visit...

’Did she notice something about me and suspect me?’ Nuwa muttered in her mind. It took her a while to notice an ethereal lady standing right behind Priestess Zi Xuan. The lady exuded a graceful charm of divine beauty’s splendor. It could easily bewitch anyone, including her.

"Hm?" Elysia smiled, tilting her head slightly as she wondered why the new disciple looked at her with an entranced look.

The new disciple possessed an enigmatic aura, easily standing out even among a crowd. Nuwa was slender but exuded serene strength. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded like a shadowy waterfall, contrasting with her pale, almost porcelain-like complexion. Her deep red eyes carried a haunting weight, as though they bore witness to lifetimes of sorrow and deep secrets.

A faint scar traced her left temple, a subtle reminder of past incidents. Despite her reserved demeanor, an unyielding determination was clear in her gaze, the one forged by hardship.

Elysia scanned Nuwa’s entire body in discrete and found no oddity or evil inside. It was just a girl who purely desired a greater power and a safe place to grow. The only oddity was really Nuwa’s bronze ring.

Just as Zi Xuan suspected, there was an immortal soul inside. It hid deep inside and did not dare to move at all, pretending to be dead so that no one would notice.

’Isn’t it like that particular young hero? He also has an ancient artifact with an immortal sage soul as his master.’ Elena recalled it, but unfortunately, the mentioned young hero shared no glory or alignment with Sacred Sakura.

’Which one?’ Elysia tried to recall it, but she couldn’t remember everyone she met, especially those who weren’t affiliated with Sacred Sakura.

’Well, it’s not important then. Do you want to greet the immortal soul inside?’ Elena threw the matter behind her head.

’No, but I’ll let them know implicitly that we noticed it.’ Elysia took out a disciple token to officially welcome Nuwa as the disciple of Sacred Sakura.

"Welcome to Sacred Sakura, Disciple Nuwa Kiryuin. We hope you are diligent in your cultivation. We look forward to your future achievements." Elysia handed over the token and smoothly rubbed Nuwa’s face, removing that scar.
