The Lovers, The High Priestess

The next morning, Shen Hui and Qingxue sat at the dining table, gazing deeply into each other's eyes.

They both couldn't help but exchange a knowing smile.

Zhiyue held a bowl of white porridge in one hand and rested her chin on the other, looking at them strangely.

"Did you... do something last night?"

"Um... well, I was just checking to see what was going on with her. Well, it's all sorted out now. There were some changes in her Creation World, and I fixed them for her."

Shen Hui immediately picked up the bowl of white porridge and took a sip.

Warm and cozy is the most comfortable.

Zhiyue then looked at Qingxue.

Qingxue immediately buried her head in making the porridge.

Zhiyue then gave a knowing look.

"Oh, I understand."

What do you know?

Shen Hui and Qingxue spoke in unison.

Zhiyue snorted coldly, "You two, mind your own business."

She also took a sip of the congee and ate a few bites of kimchi.

Then he continued, "It's good that everything's alright now. Qingxue, you should go home early too; your parents have asked about you several times."

When Qingxue heard that her parents were looking for her, she realized that she had indeed disappeared for some time.

"Okay, I'll go back after breakfast. Shen Hui, you..."

Before Shen Hui could finish speaking, Zhiyue interrupted, "Excuse me, I might need to borrow your Shen Hui for a while."

Shen Hui gave Zhiyue a strange look. Why would she need him?

"What's up? What, are you being pressured by your family to get married and are you borrowing me to be your boyfriend?"

Zhiyue glanced at Shen Hui: "You can't expect anything good from a dog's mouth. Get lost. There's a mission on the Starry Sky Leaderboard."

"In addition to the points reward, there are also other material rewards for participation."

Shen Hui seemed to remember something, but still asked uncertainly, "What mission? When was it released?"

"How could I have bothered you last night? The mission is related to the Laughing Moon Cult."

Zhiyue emphasized the word "disturbing you" very hard.

Shen Hui simply ignored it; it was indeed what Chi Yan had told him about the Laughing Moon Cult.

Moreover, this is something mentioned within the Giant God Cult.

They want to use the World Association to suppress the Laughing Moon Cult.

As for the Laughing Moon Cult, Shen Hui had not yet had any real contact with it.

Just as the other side was preparing for their grand ceremony, Shen Hui managed to disrupt it.

And it's not Shen Hui's fault; it's just that the moon at that time had eyes but looked around recklessly.

After that, the Laughing Moon Cult almost disappeared without a trace, at least not making any major moves and not attracting as much attention as the Giant God Cult.

However, judging from the presence of the Giant God Cult in the underground auctions later on, their recovery or development is quite good.

Shen Hui swallowed the rest of the porridge in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and asked, "When do we start?"

Shen Hui was willing to join as long as he could earn resources.

"We'll meet at 1 PM and depart from the World Association headquarters."

Zhiyue replied.

Shen Hui nodded. "Then I'll take Qingxue home first, and then come back to find you."

Zhiyue replied nonchalantly, "Whatever."

After Qingxue finished eating, Shen Hui began to escort her home.

On the way back, I passed by the neighborhood where Shen Hui used to live.

This place remains the same as before, a dilapidated old neighborhood in a remote location.

It seemed as if nothing that happened in the world could affect this place.

Shen Hui also felt a sense of comfort and tranquility upon arriving here.

"So, you still like it here?"

Qingxue asked, knowing that Shen Hui had already moved away.

"Having lived here for so long, I used to have some reservations about the elderly here, but now it seems quite nice, and I really miss it."

A rare moment of inner peace, Shen Hui took a deep breath.

Then I noticed a woman in her forties squatting on the ground playing with a group of children by the roadside ahead.

"See this deck of cards? Each of you draw one, and I'll give you a piece of candy later."

Shen Hui stared at the deck of cards and noticed that it was actually a tarot deck.

Shen Hui looked closely at the woman and noticed a tattoo that was half-covered on her bare arm.

The other person is very likely also a member of the Tarot Club.

Shen Hui's understanding of the members of the Tarot Club is still limited.

Just as Shen Hui was wondering whether he should ask the other person or simply leave...

Suddenly, he realized that Qingxue, who was standing next to him, was gone.

Just as he was about to start searching, Shen Hui suddenly heard Qingxue's voice coming from not far away.

"Then I'll draw one, is this the one?"

Shen Hui immediately called out, "Qingxue?"

Hearing Shen Hui call out, Qingxue immediately replied, "I'm here."

Shen Hui turned his head and saw Qingxue standing alone by the roadside.

What were you just saying there?

Shen Hui asked.

Qingxue immediately smiled and said, "Someone asked me to draw a card..."

As Qingxue spoke, she looked ahead and froze, seeing that there was no one there.

"Huh? Where did that person go? Someone just asked me to draw a card and said they could tell my fortune."

Shen Hui felt a sense of déjà vu upon hearing this.

He immediately asked, "What cards?"

Qingxue didn't know why Shen Hui was in such a hurry, so she showed the cards in her hand to Shen Hui.

"Look, this is it. What's wrong with it?"

Shen Hui looked at the card; it was clearly a tarot card.

The card design features a naked man and woman standing on either side, with an apple tree and twelve flames behind them.

And an angel with outstretched wings stands in the very center.

The name of this tarot card is displayed at the very top.

The sixth position the Lovers.

Shen Hui, who had come to Qingxue's side, took the tarot card in his hand and asked:

"Who was it that just told you to draw a card?"

Without hesitation, Qingxue replied, "Hmm... a person dressed as a clown and wearing a mask, looks like one of those street comedians."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hui took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead.

There's no escaping it; he's definitely the Fool.

Since she was given this tarot card, it means that the sixth position, the Lovers, has chosen Qingxue.

Shen Hui didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

They can gain greater power and influence, but they will also get caught up in certain situations.

Should we have Qingxue avoid the Fool and Tarot Club from now on?

However, Qingxue's next words made Shen Hui realize that this was not his first encounter with the Fool.

"I met him before, and I think he gave me this card back then, saying that I would find my own... The Lovers."

Qingxue glanced at Shen Hui as she spoke.

This means that Qingxue had been chosen long before, but she hadn't been told about the Tarot Club.

This appearance reminded Shen Hui that Qingxue had confirmed their relationship.

Has the other side already completed their rituals?

"What's wrong, Shen Hui?"

Qingxue asked again, somewhat puzzled, and Shen Hui didn't know how to explain.

But then, the middle-aged woman who had been playing games with the children earlier appeared beside Shen Hui at some point.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the second the High Priestess. Leave the task of guiding the Lovers to me, the chosen one of Death God."
