Chapter 5 (2/2)

“As you… wish.”

The golden light in the surrounding area gradually faded away, and the place was once again plunged into darkness.

When he was in darkness, the Prince of Virtue didn’t despair. Never had he before, and he all the more reason not to now. His heart was swelling with infinite hope.

The Prince of Virtue tightly hugged the vase in his arms, though his hands wouldn’t stop trembling. And there was simply no way he could calm the excitement in his heart.

The next moment, he raised his head to look up at the heavens, and a smile formed on his lips.

As I wished.

Thank you, celestial being.

…

Over the next few days, many people saw a ray of golden light rising in the sky. And this marked the beginning of a miracle.

Ten days later, the missing Prince of Virtue appeared in the imperial city with many fanatical followers trailing behind him. Every single person’s eyes were ablaze with excitement as they stared at the Prince of Virtue. None were able to take their eyes off him. The Chosen One, the Prince of Virtue! The miracle that had happened earlier on was all because the Prince of Virtue was blessed with the protection of an auspicious beast.

The kirin had appeared, and with it an auspicious omen had arisen.

All the people worshipped him, and he stood high in public favor.

Fifteen days later, the Prince of Virtue was crowned Emperor, and he ascended the throne and changed his country’s name to Qi.

Kong Hou was using a small hammer to pound on a nail beside the door frame. As she worked on repairing the door frame, she turned around to ask Tian Miao, “Boss, don’t you have to go this time? Don’t we have to help you?”

“No need. It’s easier this time,” Tian Miao yawned. Then she turned around to go upstairs.

The room on the right at the end of the second floor was Tian Miao’s, and in the middle, there were two rooms. One was occupied by Dong Xiao, and the other one was occupied by Kong Hou. The other rooms were completely empty. The first floor, on the other hand, was filled with various items on display, and that large vase had been one of the items on display.
