Chapter 7 Cheat (2)
In the next moment, a ray of light descended from the sky onto the central part of the square. The light was so blinding that Liu Yu had to close her eyes.
The carriage stopped abruptly.
The coachman was scared witless by the sudden ray of light and immediately hopped off the carriage. The pedestrians on the street, whether they were ragged clothes or satin dresses, all of them crawled to the edge of the square, forming a circle around the statue.
“Bless the God Light!”
“May you bless this earth with light…”
Liu Yu opened her eyes.
There was a sea of people at the edge of the square. The carriages were all parked on the roadside because everyone had rushed to pay their respect to the glowing statue. They looked like the frantic worshippers of a Holy Mountain.
She looked towards Gaia.
There was a surprised expression on Gaia’s face. He covered his chest with one of his hands. It seemed as if there was something there that had both puzzled and surprised him. Gradually, his body started exuding specks of holy light, exactly like the light that shrouded the statue from the square.
No!
This can’t happen!
Liu Yu’s blood ran cold. Her instinct told her that this cannot continue, otherwise, Gaia will…
She rushed forward and threw herself at the young man.
“Slam——”
She used as much force as she could possibly muster and threw herself directly at Gaia. Gaia slammed against the carriage wall. The impact made a dull sound.
Gaia reached out his hand and tried to push away the soft body in his embrace, but Belia held onto him even more tightly. The other party’s body was soft, but she was also as tough as a vine, refusing to let him go as she continued to hold onto him tightly. The soft silk from her clothes rubbed against his exposed skin, making him frown.
“Bellia?”
The holy light shrouding his body disappeared as he called out her name.
Liu Yu turned to look out the window. The holy light shrouding the stone statue had also disappeared.
So, it turned out that she only needed to attract Gaia’s attention?
She pondered over it deeply.
The temperature of the scalding hot glass bead inside her pocket gradually decreased. If the temperature of the glass bead continued to increase, then it would’ve burned her into crisp.
The worshippers cried and laughed, acting as if they had turned insane.
“Bellia?”
She felt his breathing gently blowing on her neck. Liu Yu realized that the calm young man was now frowning. He appeared quite displeased and disgusted.
Instead of backing away from him, she wrapped her arms more tightly around his waist. She even used his chest as her pillow.
“Gaia, I’m sorry. I was scared for a moment.” She sobbed gently and whispered, “Just now, something very strange happened, and it frightened me…”
The worshipper murmured fanatically like a bee. Their voices buzzed loudly in both Bellia and Gaia’s ears.
“Did you feel something strange?”
Gaia seemed to be distracted as he “looked” up in confusion.
“There was a voice calling out to me…it was very…warm.”
Liu Yu had a wooden expression on her face, but her body was trembling in “fear”.
“Could it have been…the devil? I heard that the devil is extremely talented at bewitching people. Gaia, let’s leave quickly, okay? I’m scared.”
She tried to stand up, but she stumbled forward and fell on him again.
The young man grunted in pain and his face turned paler while the young girl sobbed.
“Gaia, I’m so sorry! I really didn’t mean that…I accidentally sprained my leg. Let’s hurry up and go to the hospital. It’s very…very…scary here.”
“No, it wasn’t the devil that called out to me.”
Gaia brushed her hand aside and sat up. He turned and looked out the window. It seemed as if he could really “see” the scenery outside the window. “Listen, Bellia. They are praying, they are praying to the God of Light.”
“Gita is praying that her daughter will meet a good man next coming spring.”
Mo Sang is praying that his sow will breed a litter of piglets in the coming year.”
“Sanchez is praying that his younger son’s illness will be quickly cured.”
“…”
They aren’t praying, they are clearly asking for a miracle to happen to them!
Liu Yu was amazed by his ability and she suddenly thought of a possibility.
“Can you hear…what everyone prayed for in their hearts?”
Gaia nodded, but after a while, he shook his head.
“No, I can’t hear everyone’s——” The young man’s slender and jade-like fingers pointed at Bellia’s heart, “I could hear everyone’s prayers, except for yours, Bellia.”
“I can’t hear the voice in your heart.”
“…oh. Gaia, my foot hurts badly. Let’s head to the hospital first, okay?” Liu Yu sobbed expressionlessly.
What’s with his OP cheat?!
He can actually read other people’s minds?!
