Chapter 419

Just like Guizhong initially clung to Morax's coattails. Knowing his own weakness, seeking a reliable and powerful ally for the safety of his people was only natural.

Today, Guili Plains also worships two kings, the Rock King and the Dust King, both of whom are gods they truly worship and protectors.

"King! The King of Salt!"

"Greetings, my king!"

"Greetings, Queen Maria!"

"Get up and get on with your business. Don't cause chaos in the city. I'm just here to take a look."

Maria indifferently waved away the Salt People who wanted to come and worship.

However, one can still sense the restless emotions and unrest within people's hearts.

There was nothing that could be done about it; the Salt People certainly worshipped the Salt God. However, Heulia simply could not provide the most precious thing of this era—a sense of security.

Maria filled this crucial gap in stabilizing public sentiment.

These years living in the Salt of the Earth have indeed been the most stable and safest days for the Salt People.

No one wants to experience that kind of life again, where the slightest disturbance leads to immediate displacement. Therefore, the Salt People eagerly offered their faith to Maria, the warlike king invited by Heulia; anyone who hesitated even for a moment would be considered foolish.

"Haha! Now you know why you don't communicate with others often, right? The price of being aloof is that you can't even enjoy shopping!"

Guizhong covered her lips with her long sleeves, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she smiled, like two bright, clear moons.

Maria rolled her eyes, then flashed away and sped towards the palace high above.

Guizhong stared wide-eyed.

Hey! Wait for me!

The two entered the palace one after the other. Inside the palace, Heulia was fiddling with Salt Lamp Salt Ruler, seemingly adjusting the powers within the artifacts.

When Heulia saw Maria appear in the palace for the first time, accompanied by the formidable Gui Zhong, the little Salt God was Guizhong startled that he dropped his Salt Ruler and hurriedly and respectfully greeted her.

"Greetings, Salt King! Greetings... Oh dear!"

Then, tripped by the hem of her skirt, she landed headfirst in front of the two of them, and stumbled forward a short distance.

"Sizzle!"

Her white dress was also torn by the powerful trip. When she stood up, Heulia could only cover her private parts with her hands, her face flushed, and she was speechless with embarrassment.

"Maria, how many times has this happened?"

Guizhong poked Maria in the waist.

If we say that Guizhong's character is the ultimate socially anxious person.

Heulia's character is also extremely socially awkward, plus she routinely takes off her clothes in front of Maria.

When they first met, Maria's Blood Arrow tore off his clothes. He later appeared several times while Maria was hunting or practicing, and was accidentally stripped naked again. After that, his clothes were either torn by tree branches or smashed to pieces on the ground; in short, he was usually naked in front of Maria.

Heulia was on the verge of tears.

Maria's nose started to itch too.

"Well--"

Maria sighed, speechless, wondering which being in the universe was playing a cruel joke on her.

Although she likes it that way, she would never do it; it's too tasteless.

On the other hand, the cowardly Demon God covering his three points, looking ashamed, embarrassed, and trembling weakly, is indeed captivating.

"I should have said that I do not need your offerings."

"But... but Yancheng is indeed located in your hunting grounds, and everyone is able to live here thanks to you."

"Go change your clothes. Find a place with better quality."

"Yes..."

Heulia suppressed the urge to drop the little pearl and nodded weakly.

Before Maria could even think about summoning the newly developed Blood Vine to do something she was happy about, she decisively turned and left.
