Chapter 820: Secret Demon Omni Evocation Treasure Seal

“Heed my call and descend to this earth, goddesses!”

Duanmu Longhua cried out, and the gigantic word “Fortune” in the sky shone brightly. A strong beam of light shone on the Goddess Wall Paintings, and the three goddesses suddenly came alive. They began walking out of the wall paintings one after another.

“Why have you summoned us, Duanmu?” White Deer, Green Lotus and Moonview looked down on Duanmu Longhua and asked.

Eyes bloodshot, Duanmu Longhua pointed a finger at Ye Qing and roared, “Kill him! He discovered our secret! He must die to tie up loose ends!”

The three goddesses turned to look at Ye Qing, and Goddess Moonview exclaimed in surprise, “It’s you?”

“It’s-a me! Hello again, goddesses.”

Ye Qing wiped the blood on his face and greeted them with a sunny grin. “By the way, you do not want to listen to that woman. I pinky promise that I have no idea that you’re stealing the fortune of your people!”

“I see. I guess we have no choice but to remove you.”

Goddess Moonview’s expression did not change, and she spoke as gently as ever. She curled her finger slightly in Ye Qing’s direction, and the young man shuddered despite himself. He felt as if something inexplicable was rising behind his back.

When Ye Qing subconsciously looked behind him, he saw a gigantic pillar of yellow and purple light shooting into the heavens, grand and majestic. It was so potent that it conjured all sorts of noble and mysterious phenomena and overshadowed even the colorful, radiant light that dominated the sky before.

“That’s my fortune?” Ye Qing blinked in utter shock. “My fortune is this potent? How did I not know about this??”

Ye Qing had always known that he was a fortunate man. If he wasn’t, he would not have stumbled across so many life-changing opportunities and achieved what he had achieved today.

However, the pillar of light behind him was way too much. To make a comparison, Nail Grandma and Tiger Master Gong’s fortune were like fireflies before the moon that was his fortune. Hells, the fortune of the entire city combined could not even rival a-tenth of his. It was just completely unrealistic.

For his fortune to be this good, he would literally have to be the son, no, the firstborn of daddy heavens. Forget stumbling onto treasure hoards or encountering benefactors on the road, he simply needed to exist for countless underlings to answer his every whim, countless beauties to throw themselves under his feet, and even more opportunities to air strike him with unerring accuracy. He would have become the absolute protagonist and chosen one without needing to lift a finger. Hells, he would have been a Sage already if he was actually this fortunate.

What Ye Qing was trying to say was that something was off about this manifestation of fortune of his.

His opinion was shared by Duanmu Longhua, the one and only person who saw his real fortune and destiny earlier.

The destiny she saw under her Destiny Revealing Disc was thick, strong, and extraordinary. The cauldron especially was beyond anything she had imagined. But as impressive as it was, it was still well within the limits of believability.

This one was anything but. Just look at that towering pillar of yellow and purple, the soaring dragons and phoenixes, the arriving celestials and Buddhas. It was such a ridiculous fortune that she wondered if even a human emperor or living Sage could rival it, so what on earth was going on here?

They weren’t the only ones who were stunned and speechless. The lofty, indifferent goddesses were staring at the manifestation in shock and disbelief as well.

She had no doubt that the impossible pillar of fortune behind Ye Qing’s back was mostly the work of the Secret Demon Omni Evocation Treasure Seal. What this meant was there was no chance that Goddess White Deer, Goddess Green Lotus and Goddess Moonview would show him quarter. They would do anything and everything to claim his fortune for themselves.

“How else can we buy enough time to do what is necessary?” [1] Feng Qingyou replied indifferently. “Besides, Joyless is strong. This will be over by the time the goddesses manage to overcome his defenses.”

“You trust him that much?” Wen Anran asked.

“They are mere Strangers. What is there to be afraid of?” Feng Qingyou smiled. “Anyway, the show is on, and it is our turn to go on stage. Let’s go.”

Wen Anran glanced once at Ye Qing before smiling as well. Then, both women disappeared into the crowd.

......

“Yellow and purple pierce through the heavens, the face of celestials and gods, the sovereign of humanity, and inexplicable nobility... such a fortune is rare even if you search the entire world for it!”

Goddess White Deer muttered in a daze while licking her lips, “Why don’t you leave him to me, Green Lotus, Moonview?”

“This man’s fortune is of great use to me. I shall not lend him to anyone!” Goddess Moonview shot her down instantly.

“He is mine,” Goddess Green Lotus declared succinctly and firmly.

“Come on~ the two of you always get the biggest share of fortune every Goddess Festival! Isn’t it time you spare your little sister a little generosity?” Goddess White Deer begged cutely.

“I’ll give you a bigger share next time, but this man is mine,” Goddess Green Lotus answered. She never looked away from Ye Qing for even a moment.

“Must you oppose me, Green Lotus?” Goddess White Deer grew angry.

“If I say yes, what are you going to do about it?” Goddess Green Lotus replied as coolly as ever.

“You—!” Goddess White Deer glared at her.

“Enough. We are sisters. Let’s not ruin our relationship over petty squabbles, hmm?” Goddess Moonview played the mediator.

“Ahem...”

When Ye Qing realized that the three goddesses were butting heads over his fortune, he rubbed his nose and let out a cough. The trio immediately turned to stare at him. Once he had gotten their attention, he said, “Like she said, it’s not worth hurting your sibling relationship over little ol’ me. I have a suggestion to make. Would you like to hear it?”

1. Feng Qingyou: “Don’t worry, this isn’t the first time I screwed him over.”

Wen Anran: “... That’s not an answer.” ☜
