“Miss Beilia!” The physician called her, “Are you feeling unwell again?”
Liu Yu carefully led Gaia across the doorway and sat down by the window.
“It’s not me, it’s my friend…” her voice urgent and helpless, “Gaia, he’s losing a lot of blood. Physician, please save him quickly…”
Xinku looked at Beilia’s reddened eyes oddly.
This young lady had never been so kind-hearted before.
But when his gaze fell on Gaia, his face immediately tensed.
“His eyes are injured?”
“Yes. Physician, is there any hope for Gaia’s eyes?”
A pure white lace headband fell to the floor, stained with blood.
Xinku opened the boy’s eyelids, revealing two empty sockets.
He was stunned.
“Unfortunately, this is in the realm of the gods.”
“But-”
“Beilia.” Gaia interrupted her, “This is my fate.”
When talking about his own eyes, the boy’s expression remained calm, as if losing his sight was not a big deal to him.
Liu Yu looked at him in a daze for a while, then turned her head away.
She was grateful that she came from a world that was not tamed by gods.
Xinku, with his plump body, bounced around Gaia, examining him, applying medicine and bandaging his wounds. Finally, he prescribed a potion.
“Miss Beilia, he’s fine. He’s fine. Apart from excessive blood loss and some weakness, he couldn’t be better. I’ve never seen a body so perfect.”
“Oh, that’s wonderful!” the girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking tearfully joyful, “Thank you for the blessing of the God of Light.”
“Ninety-six lusos.” Xinku cheerfully issued the bill, “Miss, as you know, we don’t offer credit here.”
Liu Yu:…
She had no place to hide money on her body.
She took out the golden iris flower and hesitantly handed it over, “I’ll use the Fergus family crest as collateral. Don’t worry, I won’t default on the payment.”
By the end, the girl’s voice was already on the verge of tears.
“Go to the first floor to pick up the medicine.”
Xinku neatly put away the crest.
The girl stood up, her high heels clacking as she walked out. When she reached the door, she turned back and instructed, “Doctor Xinku, this is very important to me, please take good care of it. I will definitely come to redeem it tomorrow, I promise!”
“Miss Beilia, rest assured.”
The girl’s figure disappeared down the corridor.
Xinku looked at the door and sighed, “I’ve never seen Miss Beilia like this before. She treats the Fergus family crest as something as important as her life. She must really love you.”
Liu Yu waited for this sentence, her lips curled, and without waiting for Gaia’s reaction, she went to the first floor to pick up the medicine.
But as soon as she reached the first floor, she realized that everyone had disappeared.
The hall, which had been packed earlier, was now empty, and even the pharmacist who should have been on duty in the pharmacy was nowhere to be found. When she turned around, she realized that everyone was standing at the door, craning their necks to look outside.
Baffled, she walked over and saw a procession of people marching on the long, wide street.
They wore loose white robes with golden suns and silver moons embroidered on their hems. They walked in a line. The wind ruffled their long hair and blew up their robes.
After the white-robed figures passed, there came the golden-armored warriors.
They held long swords and rode on large horses, marching in formation.
Wherever the procession passed, sacred light rose in the air and a gentle song floated in the wind.
Everyone held their breath and stood in awe.
Liu Yu felt as if her heart was wandering in a warm and joyful ocean, where there was only light and no darkness, only happiness and no sorrow.
“I heard that the statue of the God of Light in the Sulo City has performed a miracle today. No wonder the White Robed Divine Envoys and the Golden Knights are mobilized together.”
“What an honor it is to serve the gods… If only I could become a Divine Envoy or a knight.”
“Are you dreaming? Only when the crystal ball lights up and becomes a Chosen by the gods do you have the qualification to become a Divine Envoy or a knight. Speaking of which, the selection of the Chosen is about to begin…”
The selection of the Chosen…
Liu Yu remembered the plot of the novel.
If Beilia’s turning point in life was when she plucked out the eyes of the God of Light and was thrown into prison, then Natasya’s turning point was when she became a Chosen.
In this world, the division between nobles and commoners was like a chasm, and the only way to bridge it was with the power of the gods.
This power was even more domineering and unpredictable.
The so-called Chosen, referred to those who were favored by the gods –
They were born with the physique to cultivate divine arts, able to serve the gods and be bestowed with divine power.
Being a Chosen meant being higher than nobles; nobles were higher than commoners.
Natasya passed the test and became a being more noble than the nobles, able to stand on an equal footing with the royal family, and from then on, she was at ease. On the other hand, the original owner fell into the abyss of life because she missed the test.
But what if… the original owner was not a Chosen to begin with?
Liu Yu tightened her grip on the prescription and reassured herself. Patience, just a little more patience.
The urgent matter at hand was to survive this imminent life or death crisis, and then consider the matter of being a Chosen.
Being a Chosen would be best, but if not, it didn’t matter.
In this world, there might be rules, but all rules were made by the gods.
