Chapter 1073: Miracle
"This must be the Heavenly Father watching us!"
"Miracle, an out-and-out miracle!"
"Praise the Holy Mother!"
………………
Countless believers knelt down excitedly, shouting prayers in their mouths.
And the suddenly appeared Pope Benjamin III also attracted Miss Luo Quan's attention.
This was the first face-to-face contact between the two. This Pope was younger than she imagined, looking like he was in his early thirties.
After appearing, he just floated in the air like this. The gorgeous robe on his body and the scepter in his hand were radiating pure white light, which was a style of a master, master, and master.
"Good day, Holy Mother."
Benjamin III walked to Miss Luo Quan, bowed his head and saluted Miss Luo Quan with his chest stroked.
"Good day, Your Majesty the Pope." Miss Luo Quan also gave a reply with the same etiquette.
"Forgive my shallow knowledge, may I ask where this prayer came from in the doctrine, why I have never seen it before."
Benjamin III asked with a smile, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.
In this situation, Miss Luo Quan definitely couldn't tell the truth about its real origin, so she could only continue to fool: "I just said it smoothly when I was inspired. If I violated the rules of the Church, I will definitely not mention it again in the future."
"Of course not violated." Benjamin III laughed. "This prayer can be compared with the famous sayings left by ancient sages. It is so holy that it can directly give birth to a source of light!"
Following Benjamin III's finger, Miss Luo Quan saw the big ball of light in the sky, and suddenly realized: "So that's called a source of light."
"Yes." Benjamin III nodded gently. "In the ignorant ancient times, devout pilgrims could create a source of light when praying, bringing light, baptism, and a sense of security to believers."
"It is a lighthouse in the dark when pointing out the direction, and can save countless lost lambs. Every source of light can catalyze a holy land."
"The current Divansi was originally built on the source of light, but time has passed, that source has dried up, leaving only a spring eye of the Fountain of Light."
"However, even so, it still made the holy city Divansi brilliant for tens of thousands of years."
"And now, the new source of light is finally born, and it is you who brought it, Holy Mother. You are truly the lucky star of our Dawn Church."
"Hahaha, is it that amazing? There have indeed been many people who praised me for my good luck since I was a child." Miss Luo Quan was confused, but felt that this should be a good thing, and at the same time calculated whether to ask for more rewards from this Pope.
"This cannot be described by just saying good luck. This is a miracle, a miracle created by you and the devout prayers of the believers!"
Benjamin III's voice became louder as he spoke, and then he opened his arms to face all the believers.
A professional god-stick is different. A few sentences ignited the emotions of all believers, and the groundbreaking ceremony instantly became a large-scale preaching scene.
Miss Luo Quan, who had her limelight stolen, didn't have much to say at this time. In fact, if she had reacted quickly, she could have let the believers cheer for her.
But the Pope appeared suddenly, and then transferred everyone's attention in a few words.
Everything happened too fast, which was something she hadn't expected at all.
But no matter what, she still got the benefits this time, at least her prestige in the Dawn Church was higher.
After the fooling ended, Benjamin III announced that the ceremony would continue.
Next, it was basically the time for the person in charge of the construction team.
There were two team leaders in charge of the site, from the Divine Blessing Federation and the Saint Tang Heavenly Dynasty. After going on stage, besides mobilizing the workers, they were promising the client what would happen this time.
To sum up, it is more, faster, better, and more economical, striving for the upper reaches, almost with a red banner standing at the construction site, and then letting the workers shout labor slogans together.
In short, the atmosphere was quite good, but whether it can be more, faster, better, and more economical, this has to be a question mark.
However, Miss Luo Quan didn't have the energy to supervise the progress of the project, so she could only hand over all matters to Bishop Varena.
After the ceremony, Benjamin III took Miss Luo Quan to one side, ready to chat a few words behind closed doors.
"Is the Holy Mother's body okay recently?" Benjamin III asked this as soon as he opened his mouth, and Miss Luo Quan directly had a subway old man face.
Everyone understands the intention of asking this question. After all, she still has the flag of "will definitely give birth to the Holy Son in the future", but she didn't expect Benjamin III to open the door and see the mountain directly.
"The body has always been quite healthy, nothing else." Miss Luo Quan replied calmly, without revealing any news.
In fact, her stomach had been big once before, which made her family misunderstand and almost caused a farce.
But after Ye Zhining felt her pulse, she diagnosed it as True Qi congestion, and then
Miss Luo Quan herself did not doubt Ye Zhining's actions, but if she told Benjamin III about such a thing, there was no guarantee he wouldn't overthink it, so she simply concealed the matter.
However, after concealing it, Miss Luo Quan worried whether this omnipotent Pope would be able to tell she was lying.
After all, she had witnessed Ye Zhining's cultivation at the Dao-Surpassing level; that wasn't just a superhuman, but a true deity, the kind whose words became reality.
Even if Benjamin III wasn't as powerful as the Empress who possessed the faith of the people of a unified dynasty, he probably wasn't far off, so Miss Luo Quan was still feeling a bit nervous inside.
But at least on the surface, there was no change; every physical expression was as if she were telling the truth.
The good news was that Benjamin III had no doubts about Miss Luo Quan's answer, only urging: "You shoulder the future of the Dawn Church; you must not be careless if you feel any discomfort. If ordinary hospitals cannot resolve it, the Sacred Heart Benevolence Hospital of the Dawn Church would be very happy to serve you."
"If I need a physical exam in the future, I will definitely come," Miss Luo Quan said with a smile.
"The entire Holy City looks forward to your arrival, Holy Mother. All of us believers are your children who revere you most," Benjamin III lowered his head, his expression devout.
When Miss Luo Quan saw him bow his body, she thought he was going to kiss the ground by her feet like other believers.
But he only bowed his head in a kneeling gesture.
It was respectful, but not as devout as the other believers.
"The Light of Dawn shines upon you always," Miss Luo Quan followed the scriptures and gave Benjamin III her blessing, and their conversation ended there.
The ceremony ended smoothly. Although there was a small interlude, all in all, it was a good thing. Now the internet was full of talk about her manifesting holiness in public, and those fans were calling her "Mom" even more enthusiastically.
Thinking of these guys calling her "Mom" while looking forward to her bikini photos, Miss Luo Quan felt it was hard to handle.
When she explained her change in style after debuting to her fans, she had mentioned that she had taken swimsuit photos before.
At the time, it was nothing, but once everyone understood what a bikini was, they were like people injected with adrenaline, all wanting to see these photos.
"Can I show them to you so easily? We'll talk about it if there's a chance later."
This was Miss Luo Quan's answer. She felt that since her popularity as the Holy Mother was so high right now, if she suddenly pulled out her swimsuit photos, it would ruin the atmosphere.
It wouldn't be too late to take them out after this wave of hype passed; for now, it was just right to keep the fans' appetites whetted.
Who knew that by teasing them like this, they would become obsessed, asking for it in the livestream every day.
Now it had escalated even further, turning directly into a large-scale scene of "filial piety gone wrong."
Miss Luo Quan felt that if this continued, she would likely become the first "void edge-balling" streamer to be banned by the platform.
That is, she clearly hadn't crossed any lines herself, but ended up being implicated because the comments posted by these fans were too outrageous.
But in this situation, whatever she said would cause an even greater reaction from the fans, so the best way was to play dead.
After watching the trending news for a while, Miss Luo Quan returned to her room via the teleportation array.
"Zhining, when did you get here?"
Just as she returned to the room, Miss Luo Quan saw Ye Zhining lying on the bed with her legs bare, her snow-white feet swinging back and forth, smiling very happily.
"What are you looking at that makes you smile so flirtatiously?" Miss Luo Quan curiously leaned over and discovered that Ye Zhining was actually watching her.
To be precise, it was the swimsuit video she had filmed on the beach before. No wonder Ye Zhining's eyes were shining.
"Are you bored? Haven't you already watched these countless times on Earth?" Miss Luo Quan pouted and complained.
Ye Zhining shook her legs triumphantly: "How can one ever get enough of the Imperial Concubine's body? Every time I watch it, I have new insights; it can be said that it's always fresh."
"And compared to yesterday in the bathroom, I think the Imperial Concubine in a swimsuit is even sexier. That shy look of looking down, like a water lotus unable to withstand the breeze, is truly too beautiful."
"Water lotus?" Miss Luo Quan chuckled, "I filmed that early on. I wasn't very open then. If you let me film it now, I'll let you see what a 'Deep Abyss Rafflesia' is!"
"Raf... Rafflesia?" Ye Zhining was stunned when she heard it, "What kind of thing is that?"
"A carnivorous plant, it looks quite fierce," Miss Luo Quan said with a grin, showing Ye Zhining a photo of a Rafflesia.
Rafflesia, scientific name Rafflesia arnoldii, famous for its huge petals, stinks to high heaven...
After reading the introduction and seeing the photo of this thing, Ye Zhining said with a look of disgust: "How could you use this thing as a nickname? It's just too ugly!"
"Ask those fans of mine. These are all their antics," Miss Luo Quan shrugged helplessly and sat on the edge of the bed.
"But come to think of it, Imperial Concubine, you seem to have not taken swimsuit photos for quite a while. I really want to see what it would look like if you filmed it with your current style."
Ye Zhining leaned close to Miss Luo Quan, saying in a seductive and expectant tone.
Miss Luo Quan glanced at her: "Are you mistaken? You've already seen things more intense than swimsuits; is one or two photos really that different?"
"How can that be the same?" Ye Zhining laughed, "I just said it, 'half-hidden and half-revealed' is the highest realm of sexiness. What's the point of taking it all off?"
"What a strange fetish," Miss Luo Quan shook her head, indicating she couldn't understand.
Ye Zhining rubbed Miss Luo Quan's shoulders: "How can you call it strange? If you did a survey among your fans, the answers you'd get would definitely be similar to mine."
Miss Luo Quan had the urge to faint: "I'd have to be crazy to ask these questions."
"But it's true I haven't filmed them for a long time, but I haven't had the time lately either. Let's talk about it after I finish the things on my hands."
"Then if the Imperial Concubine is going to film, you must tell me. I'll accompany you then," Ye Zhining said excitedly after getting a definite answer.
"Got it, I definitely won't leave you out when the time comes," Miss Luo Quan nodded, "Speaking of which, did you skip the morning court again to come here?"
"Am I such a muddled ruler in your heart?" Ye Zhining was very dissatisfied with Miss Luo Quan's attitude, "I am so virtuous and wise, how could I skip the morning court every time?"
"Then I must have wronged you," Miss Luo Quan said with a chuckle.
"Actually, the morning court is every three days. Tomorrow is the next one," Ye Zhining laughed.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she began to grope around Miss Luo Quan's stomach.
"What are you touching?" Miss Luo Quan expressed confusion at Ye Zhining's behavior.
"I was so engrossed in talking about swimsuits that I forgot the real reason I came here," Ye Zhining muttered, looking down, "I originally saw that you created the Source of Light and thought you had already conceived the Holy Son, so I specifically came to check."
After finishing, she raised her head: "It's fine, the Imperial Concubine is still the same as before."
Miss Luo Quan was curious: "Is there any inevitable connection between this Source of Light and the Holy Son?"
Ye Zhining answered seriously: "Not necessarily, but it's better to be safe than sorry. The appearance of miracles is usually accompanied by some kind of change. This change could be brought by yourself, or it could be brought by the Holy Son."
"If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, that would be more troublesome."
"Why, do you also believe in this so-called theory of the Holy Son's descent?"
Miss Luo Quan rubbed her own belly and said with a smile: "No one can make me pregnant against my will, not even you."
This wasn't just the confidence brought by her Flawless Glazed Body; the most important thing was the system.
Ever since the system completed its upgrade, it had been absorbing spiritual energy.
Although the system itself didn't have any offensive capabilities, it could provide powerful defensive strength.
Even Ye Zhining couldn't do anything to her under the system's protection.
Of course, in front of Ye Zhining, the duration of this protection would be very, very short.
Ye Zhining didn't quite understand where Miss Luo Quan's confidence came from, but hearing her say this, she felt much more at ease: "I'm so happy that the Imperial Concubine has this awareness."
However, Miss Luo Quan quickly changed the subject: "But nothing in the world is absolute. If I really got pregnant one day, what would you think?"
"Impossible," Ye Zhining's answer was the same as Miss Luo Quan's, "I wouldn't let such a thing happen."
As she spoke, she slapped the top of Miss Luo Quan's head.
A golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Miss Luo Quan. Then Ye Zhining laughed loudly: "With this Mountains and Rivers State Array, even Benjamin III couldn't hurt a hair on your head. Now you can rest easy, Imperial Concubine."
