Chapter 221 Fabricating an Identity
Three days passed in a flash. Jiang Yu did not leave her castle. She felt that making an appearance at a banquet would be more formal.
On the last day, Moa brought back a big surprise, or rather, a shock.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yu and Fan Qingyin stood side by side on the second-floor terrace of the castle, directly opposite the main gate. Lin Yi, who had been patrolling outside, also returned riding Shaka.
Shaka landed quietly, and Lin Yi dismounted, quickly reaching Jiang Yu's side. "What's Moya up to? Why is the whole county in an uproar?"
He encountered a commotion while patrolling the coastline, saying that the purple-haired man who had been with the lord that day had emerged from the sea. But how could his own surfacing cause such a commotion?
Surely he didn't use the prototype of the shore?!
He was so frightened that he rushed home without asking any further questions.
“I think he probably brought back a gift.” Fan Qingyin frowned. He had already arranged a reasonably plausible identity for Moya, hoping that this madman wouldn’t mess everything up.
Jiang Yu smiled awkwardly, but soon the person at the center of the conversation appeared very conspicuously.
The man, with his strong physique and stunningly beautiful features, looked like a god descending from heaven. Although he was shirtless, he did not appear disheveled or embarrassed at all.
He walked calmly, casually dragging a huge, lifeless monster along with him. The monster was the size of a small ship, with the body of a giant whale, but with more than a dozen arthropod-like feet growing from its belly.
The enormous, bizarre eyes were located at the very front of its abdomen, with protruding and cloudy eyeballs and dilated pupils, suggesting that it had already passed away.
"It's King Bailie! It's the Great Sea Monster King Bailie!" A crowd of onlookers followed not too far away, all exclaiming the same name.
King Bailie, the most powerful sea monster in the waters near Hollandpur, has long been proven to exist. It has a strong sense of territory, does not like to eat people, but is good at torture and killing, and is a sea monster with a cruel reputation.
Hollandpur has a long history of pearl divers who have died at its hands.
At this moment, Moa, dragging the corpse of King Bailie, undoubtedly became a charming and handsome hero to the people of Hollandpur.
Jiang Yu and the other two had naturally heard of King Bai Lie, and at this moment they were speechless.
Jiang Yu thought to herself, "I'm already a demigod, do I still need to determine my position in the food chain?"
Lin Yi bluntly retorted, "You've ruined his reputation by showing off!"
Only Fan Qingyin took a light breath, maintained a proper smile, and calmly said, "It seems we don't need to wait until tomorrow's banquet. Now is the best time to introduce him to everyone."
"Qingyin, you mean..." Jiang Yu turned her head in surprise and found that Fan Qingyin was also looking at her from the side.
“Xiaoyu, you should know that our family has already started to arrange an identity for Moya, so why don’t you leave this matter to me?”
After saying that, he added a reassuring remark: "Don't worry."
Jiang Yu was completely at ease knowing that Fan Qingyin had said she would take care of something.
As they were talking, Moa had already dragged the body of King Bailie to the gate. He looked up at Jiang Yu and gave him a bright smile, then turned around and waved goodbye to the people who had followed him all the way.
Just then, countless specks of divine light slowly descended from the sky, floating gracefully around the people.
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. Since the messenger and the lord left home, Hollandpool County had not received any divine glory, and the people were moved to tears.
The crowd cheered, and then they saw the castle gates slowly open completely in front of them. The messenger standing on the terrace alongside the lord had dazzling red hair that shimmered in the breeze.
A dazzling white light burst forth from his forehead. The divine messenger did not need to hold a ceremony in the temple; he was able to receive so much divine glory right here.
That's a miracle!
Even the Pope's personal presence couldn't compare.
Then two guards riding griffins took to the air and quickly arrived before the still-shocked crowd. The griffin riders' booming voices rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"The lord invites you all to come inside with Mr. Moya!"
"Welcome everyone." Jiang Yu lowered her head slightly, gently expressing her goodwill.
"Please forgive us, everyone. We were in such a hurry when we returned that we were unable to introduce the new family member to you." Fan Qingyin continued, the divine messenger who had just received the divine glory still as holy as a divine child, despite his red hair.
“I originally planned to formally introduce him to everyone at the banquet tomorrow, but Mr. Moya has already met you in his own way.” Fan Qingyin paused.
"Now, let me solemnly introduce you to Moya, the son of the leader of the Divine Servant Tribe in the far north of the Aurora Empire, and also the third partner personally selected by Lord Jiang Yu."
"They met amidst the snow and ice of the sacred mountain and pledged their love under the watchful eyes of the gods. The emperors of the Ocean Empire and the Aurora Empire are already aware of this and have offered their blessings. After this partner selection event concludes, Hollandpur will host a grand matchmaking banquet!"
The people naturally believed it; his status was as noble as a divine messenger, and he mentioned royalty and the forbidden sacred mountain of the Aurora Empire. This was not something that could be fabricated or joked about casually.
So the people cheered again, amazed that this powerful and awe-inspiring hero had such a noble background.
Indeed, it was only natural that a lord of his own birth was destined to be matched with a partner of extraordinary status.
The lord's and his partner's power and background, of course, only benefited Hollandpur County itself and the people living there.
"This arrangement is perfect," Lin Yi said in a low voice. Although the ancestors of the God-Servant Clan were exiled to the harsh northern lands, they are still nobles of pure blood, and their greatest characteristic is their immense strength and fierce, courageous nature.
Jiang Yu had never heard of this clan before, but Qingyin's arrangement seemed to be the safest and most suitable. So she simply held her husband's hand affectionately.
"Qingyin, thank you, you've worked hard."
Fan Qingyin squeezed Jiang Yu's hand with her other hand: "Don't be so polite with me."
Moa remained noncommittal about his new identity, casually tossing the enormous White King onto the open ground in front of him, and then casually slashing open the sea monster's belly.
Some timid children and women screamed in fright, and some even covered their eyes.
However, the imagined scene of his abdomen ruptured and his internal organs and intestines spilling out all over the ground did not occur. Instead, countless pearls and gold coins poured out of King Bai Lie's belly, covering the ground in a golden carpet.
"It wouldn't be right for me to come empty-handed, so please consider these as gifts for everyone!" With a wave of his hand, Moa distributed these countless treasures to the people.
He laughed heartily again: "As for the sea monster's body, we'll use it to add a dish to tomorrow's banquet!"
