Ye Xin Xia x Ash Riya x Temple Mother

Chapter 38: Ye Xin Xia x Ash Riya x Temple Mother

Time returned to a few hours earlier.

Ten minutes after Mu Zhanxing made the call to Parthenon.

An uninvited guest arrived at Ash Riya's Saintess Hall.

"Temple Mother, greetings. What brings you here today?"

Pamirs had golden, radiant hair, perfectly sculpted features characteristic of Greek nobility, and a mature, fair face that showed no signs of aging. She exuded a sacred grace, coupled with the kindness of a benevolent mother.

Pamirs offered a smile that felt like a gentle spring breeze. "That's a greeting very much in Ningwei's style. Greetings, Ash Riya."

Ash Riya maintained a polite smile. "Since you've come unannounced, Temple Mother, it must be something very important, right?"

Pamirs' smile deepened slightly. "It is indeed very important. I rushed over as soon as I received the news."

A flicker of pride flashed in Ash Riya's eyes. She walked gracefully towards Pamirs and said with a smile:

"Is this about Archbishop Nuo Nuo? I apologize, but Archbishop Nuo Nuo seems to believe I have more potential and has chosen a suitable person to pledge his loyalty to."

Pamirs sighed softly, her smile unwavering. "After all, Nuo Nuo set his price, and you paid a considerable cost. I didn't have the courage to increase the stakes. I wish him well in finding a wise master."

"However, my visit today is for something even more important. Of course, perhaps for you, Ash Riya, it's just a trivial matter."

Ash Riya's smile was radiant. Although she knew this old fox Pamirs wouldn't offer kindness without reason, she was in a good mood:

"Temple Mother, don't keep me in suspense. What is it?"

"Ningwei needs a resource from the Blessing Element."

Ash Riya's smile vanished.

Pamirs was immensely pleased. She savored the sight of Ash Riya's tightly pursed lips at close range, her voice filled with amusement:

"I have already prepared a 'Pious Dew.' It's the one the Saintesses condensed during their last pilgrimage, the one I acquired from you in exchange for a top-tier Soul Seed."

"I believe Ningwei will be satisfied. He's a child I watched grow up. I will gift this 'Pious Dew' free of charge."

Ash Riya remained silent for a long time.

Mu Ningwei needed a Blessing Element resource.

Pamirs knew, but she didn't.

Ash Riya's eyes lost their luster, and she forced a smile. "Ningwei contacted you?"

Pamirs really wanted to nod and see what expression Ash Riya would wear, but she didn't want to lie about such a small matter. She could only say regretfully:

"It was Priest Mu Yu Nan."

Ash Riya recognized the name. He was a member of the Mu family appointed to a position in Parthenon after Mu Ningwei had established himself.

He had ordinary talent, was a High-level Mage at thirty, and was Nuo Nuo's disciple.

But why would Nuo Nuo's disciple tell Pamirs such important information when Nuo Nuo had already pledged loyalty to her?

Ash Riya took a deep breath.

She knew the answer...

"Tell me, how much will you sell the 'Pious Dew' to me for?"

Pamirs spoke slowly. "For a resource of this caliber, considering its rarity, the market price is at least 2 billion."

Ash Riya was speechless. Having just won over Nuo Nuo, the money she could readily access was still far from 2 billion.

Should she borrow from Uncle Hailong?

If she explained the resource was for Ningwei, he would probably give her the money directly...

"However, I have a condition. I can sell it to you for 1.5 billion."

Ash Riya steadied herself and asked warily, "What condition?"

Pamirs' smile was full of mirth. "Ash Riya, I want you to personally deliver the 'Pious Dew' to Ningwei's hands."

"Did you know? Just today, Ningwei killed a Great Monarch. He's a powerhouse that even I would find difficult to defeat. He achieved this at the young age of 21."

"Ningwei belongs with us at Parthenon. Ash Riya, don't be stubborn. Go and mend your relationship with him."

Ash Riya was stunned. After a long period of thought, she finally agreed.

She wasn't afraid of assassination.

With Hailong guarding Parthenon, it would be fine even if she left.

Although she didn't understand why Pamirs would make such a request, she seemed to have no other choice.

Did Pamirs truly only wish for Ningwei to return to Parthenon?

At this moment, Pamirs, who had left the Saintess Hall, revealed a triumphant smile. She opened her palm and gently clenched it, as if holding the entire Parthenon in her grasp.

"Wen Tai has decided to face death, and Ningwei is already on the verge of a complete break with him."

"Ash Riya made a mistake. Once porcelain shatters, even the best craftsman cannot restore it to its original state."

"But I still have Ye Xin Xia as my trump card, and I can seize this opportunity to take her place and win over Ningwei."

"Hehehe, Wen Tai, Yi Zhi Sha, you still couldn't beat me."

"I'll gladly accept Ning Wei's support."

Three days later.

Ash Riya secretly left the Parthenon.

Meanwhile, in the Goddess Hall of the Parthenon, a probationary maid with difficulty walking arrived.

"You're Ye Xin Xia, right?" Priest Mu Yu Nan asked.

Ye Xin Xia sat in a wheelchair, her harmless face looking very docile. She nodded gently.

"Why would the Goddess Hall recommend a probationary maid to me... Never mind. Starting today, you'll work under me. Get ready, you'll accompany me to Tenomuche tomorrow."

Ye Xin Xia's voice was soft, "Lord Yu Nan, is Tenomuche the city Lord Ning Wei saved?"

Mu Yu Nan was surprised, "Are you a believer of Ning Wei?"

Ye Xin Xia smiled, "I deeply admire Lord Ning Wei and hope to catch a glimpse of him."

Mu Yu Nan sighed, "There won't be a chance."

Ye Xin Xia, however, comforted him, saying with certainty, "Lord Yu Nan, there will definitely be a chance."

Mu Yu Nan took it as her being naive.

But since she was Ning Wei's believer, he decided to look out for her.

Hangcheng.

"This noon?"

"Yes, Ning Wei, Ash Riya's flight will arrive this noon."

"I understand, Uncle Mu."

After hanging up the phone, Fei Yi, who was lazily lying on the sofa in front of Mu Ning Wei, digesting energy, raised her eyes, her beautiful face looking languid:

"My King, are you going out to meet Ash Riya?"

"Mm."

"Bringing Nu Jiao along?"

"That's right."

Fei Yi immediately perked up, her beautiful eyes full of eagerness, "My King, can I hide in the shadows and watch the show... no, can I stay in the shadows to protect Nu Jiao?"

Mu Ning Wei shot her a look, "Has the Winged Demon Gear been made?"

Fei Yi rubbed her lower abdomen and charmingly winked her left eye, "I need to finish digesting your reward first~"

"Don't say it so ambiguously... If you want to watch, then watch."

"I guarantee not to miss a single moment!"

"I don't need your guarantee for that!"

Fei Yi said with a smile, "My King, are you letting Ash Riya and Nu Jiao meet to make her give up her intentions?"

Mu Ning Wei didn't have that many thoughts. He just wanted to tell his ex-girlfriend that he now had a girlfriend!

Although it seemed like he and Ash Riya had an unspoken understanding and never confirmed their relationship...

Oh, she wasn't even an ex-girlfriend.

Mu Ning Wei prepared to go out.

He would first go to Hangcheng Academy to pick up Mu Nujiao and take her to the airport to meet Ash Riya.

It was also a good time to see how Mu Nujiao's challenge match went.

A reader said that releasing chapters separately like this isn't comfortable for those who follow closely. They want to read each new chapter as it comes out, but the small amount makes them feel unsatisfied.

Actually, releasing chapters separately was suggested by the editor to Tian Bing to increase readership.

However, considering everyone's reading experience, Tian Bing agreed to release them together.

A promise is a promise, so from now on, unless something unexpected happens, chapters will be released together, scheduled for six in the morning.

It's not set for 00:00 because a reader previously mentioned that setting it for that time would make them stay up late to read. That's why Tian Bing used to schedule releases for 00:00, and this book hasn't been published at night before.

Let's see how it goes. If readership drops at six in the morning, Tian Bing will be devastated and consider changing the time.

Love to everyone who has followed this far~

love!
