Chapter 802: Goddess Festival

Chapter 802: Goddess Festival

Noticing Cang Qingmei, Leng Tianjue, Gu Mingfei, Fei Fei and Tan Tao’s pale faces, Ye Qing reassured them with a kind smile, “Worry not. There is no way this senior is so petty that he would take his anger out on us just because we mentioned his name and spoke about him a little.”

He was right. A few breaths later, the enigmatic silhouette abruptly dissipated into wisps of dark light. The light slipped back into the statue, and the terrifying pressure enveloping the entire “Living Enter Not” was no more.

Of course, the wandering ghosts and spirits continued to tremble in fear even after the enigmatic silhouette was gone. It was clear that they were absolutely terrified of the Lord of Western Radiance.

Ye Qing, Feng Qingyou and Wen Anran paid them no attention. They continued to engage the group of five in conversation.

At first, the five warriors were still reserved and cautious. But two or three cups of wine down their throats later, they slowly began to relax. Gu Mingfei, Tan Tao and Fei Fei in particular suffered a little too much fright tonight and were tired in both body and mind. As a result, they fell into a deep slumber not long after they relaxed.

As for Ye Qing, Feng Qingyou and Wen Anran, they meditated after all five warriors had crossed over into dreamland.

An indefinite amount of time later, when the pitch black sky was finally ripped in half by a single ray of light, Ye Qing sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes.

He noticed that “Living Enter Not” was slowly turning transparent as the sunlight grew. It was the same for the wandering ghosts and spirits taking shelter in this place.

The living, breathing humans were the only ones who hadn’t experienced any change.

Curious, Ye Qing tried to touch the semi-transparent table in front of him. However, his hand passed right through like it was air.

A few breaths later, the entire inn disappeared into thin air like vapor under sunlight, leaving all the humans behind.

The snow was still falling.

“How magical,” Ye Qing murmured to himself. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would’ve been hardpressed to believe that such a large inn could just disappear into thin air like that.

To be specific, the inn hadn’t moved into the void, nor had it been shifted elsewhere by some sort of power. It had simply... evaporated into nothing like vapor. It truly was a magical experience.

“What happened? Why am I in the snow?”

“Where’s the inn?”

Without “Living Enter Not” to keep the elements at bay, Cang Qingmei, Leng Tianjue, Gu Mingfei and more quickly jolted back to reality.

Ye Qing reminded them, “Living Enter Not appears during the night and disappears during the day. Since dawn has broken, it is gone.”

Exclamations of realization and wonder broke out.

They engaged in idle chat with each other for a moment before Cang Qingmei looked at Ye Qing and asked, “Warrior Ye, Miss Qingyou, if you don’t mind me asking, where are you headed next?”

Ye Qing had grown interested in the Goddess Festival after hearing about it. If possible, he would like to attend the event and experience it in person—provided that it would not impact their travel schedule, of course.

“The Goddess City is about fifty kilometers to the east from here, and the Goddess Festival will take place about five days later.”

Cang Qingmei’s eyes lit up as she asked expectantly, “Are you planning to attend the Goddess Festival as well?”

“To the east? That sounds perfect. Would you like to attend the Goddess Festival, Qingyou?” Ye Qing turned around and asked.

“Why not? I have long heard about the Goddess Festival, but I was never able to experience it for one reason or another. Now that the opportunity has presented itself, I see no reason to reject it.” Feng Qingyou nodded with a smile.

“That’s awesome! I’m so glad I get to travel with you, sister Qingyou!” Fei Fei burst out in excitement.

Feng Qingyou patted her head and favored her with a kind smile.

“If everyone’s ready, then let us be off.”

Ye Qing tossed a paper doll into the air. When it hit the ground, it immediately transformed into a horse carriage.

“Wow! You have a horse carriage? That’s incredible!” Fei Fei’s eyes shone brightly as she ran circles around the horse carriage like a kid.

“Cutting People Into Paper?” Wen Anran spoke up, “I did not know that you are a master of this art, warrior Ye.”

“Please, I am no master. It is but the product of a convenient tool I own.” Ye Qing shook his head. “Those who wish to ride the horse carriage, feel free.”

“Heck yeah!”

Fei Fei had already jumped inside the horse carriage before Cang Qingmei could yell at her about her childishness.

“Thank you, warrior Ye, Miss Qingyou. I shall happily accept your offer.” Wen Anran thanked them and climbed into the horse carriage as well.

“Thank you, warrior.”

Cang Qingmei too voiced her thanks.
