Chapter 1349: Chapter 976, Eavesdropping_2

"You don’t even recognize your daddy!" Wen Mansha lightly tapped her daughter’s nose with her fingertip, then picked up the child. "Weren’t you gnawing on your daddy’s picture just a few days ago?"

As she spoke, she undid the ties of her nursing dress and began breastfeeding the baby.

Wu Heng continued beside her, using different toys to entertain the child.

But the baby showed little interest in the toys she’d liked before.

After the baby was fed, the two played with her for a while longer until she tired and fell asleep on the bed.

The two of them carefully left the room.

...

Nightfall.

After washing up, Wu Heng returned to the bedroom.

Moonlight filtered through the sheer curtain, drawing intersecting silver patterns on the bedroom floor.

In a burgundy nightgown, Wen Mansha was sitting at the vanity combing her hair.

"Master!" Wen Mansha’s gaze looked through the silver mirror towards the back. "I don’t know what happened today; our daughter, who used to love those toys, wasn’t interested at all today."

"Maybe she’s played with them too much. I’ll get her some new toys after a while," Wu Heng walked over, placing his hands on her shoulders.

Wen Mansha leaned into him and then said, "The eggs are all prepared. The church can open tomorrow morning."

"I trust you with it," Wu Heng smiled, sliding his hands from her shoulders into her neckline and resting them on her chest.

Wen Mansha’s eyes sparkled, "Master, I’ve missed you so much."

"Once matters in the Yeko Kingdom are settled, I’ll take you to Gold and Silver Island," Wu Heng said.

Wen Mansha shook her head, "I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving this to someone else."

"Don’t overthink it. Everything will get better," Wu Heng leaned down slightly, pressing a light kiss on her lips.

Creak~!

The bedroom door opened, and Andre Willow entered in a beige nightgown, her furry tail gently swaying.

"Wei’er is here too. Let’s serve the master so he can rest early," Wen Mansha rose and guided Wu Heng’s hand towards the bed.

The burgundy nightgown slipped off like water, revealing her full figure.

"Those elders and stewards on Gold and Silver Island...," Wen Mansha bit her earlobe, whispering indistinctly between her teeth, "I bet they don’t serve you like this!"

Andre Willow stepped barefoot across the carpet, kneeling on the edge of the bed and holding Wu Heng’s other earlobe.

"Is this something new you’ve studied?" Wu Heng had just begun to speak when Wen Mansha’s lips silenced him.

Wen Mansha straddled his waist, her post-pregnancy curves gleaming in the moonlight. Andre Willow pressed against him from behind, her furry tail brushed over their intertwined skin.

...

The next day, at the church.

Wen Mansha stood on the second-floor balcony, looking down at the crowded hall below.

Even though the notice was only given to a part of the Inner City District, the crowd filled the entire hall.

In winter, there wasn’t much for the people of Lundham City to do.

With something like this happening, people naturally came to check out the scene.

But the numbers far exceeded the original estimates.

In the hall.

A Wood Elf Priest in a priest’s robe, holding the teachings of the Spirit Awakening Sect, stood solemnly on the podium, proclaiming loudly, "The one and only great Leader Wu Heng, who creates the order of life and death, will grant us a better life and guide our path forward..."

"Leader Wu Heng? I said the statue looks exactly like Captain Wu Heng." A tall Beastman thumped his chest and said immediately.

People around started discussing it too.

"Is it really Captain Wu Heng? Isn’t he a Great Detective? How did he end up being worshiped in the church?"

"Do all heroes get placed in churches?"

"I don’t know, do they really give out eggs when leaving?"

"Listening to the priest, Wu Heng is a god..."

The people below were discussing, but only in low voices.

It didn’t affect the priest above, who continued reciting the teachings, and as they listened further, they roughly understood the meaning.

Leader Wu Heng was a god incarnate.

Here to guide the followers forward.

Wu Heng’s story was already widely circulated in the city, and now people listened in awe.

From being a Captain, to a Great Detective, and then becoming a Level 20 Hero.

And now a god?

A god...

Before Wu Heng arrived, Lundham City hadn’t even had a Level 18 professional, and now there’s a god?

Everyone fell silent, listening as the priest continued loudly preaching the doctrine.

When the doctrine was over, the priest continued, "Please follow me to the prayer room, where the great Lord of Spiritual Awakening has arranged a Divine Messenger to answer the questions of devoted followers."

...

The crowd followed into the side hall.

A small statue stood at the front.

The priest turned, signaling the crowd to be silent, and spoke to the statue, "Honorable Divine Messenger, Xiao Ai."

"I’m here!" The light band under the statue lit up as a female voice answered.

The crowd at the back gasped in surprise, their faces showing astonishment.

The statue spoke.

The voice was female, presumably that of the Divine Messenger mentioned.

The priest didn’t acknowledge the surprised murmurs behind him, continuing to speak to the statue, "Lord Divine Envoy, how can a Level 5 Beastman Warrior quickly advance to Level 10 or higher?"

Swish~!

The room fell silent instantly.

The tumultuous Beastmen held their breath, their faces a mix of confusion and anticipation as they watched the front.

The light halo on the statue spun around twice, and an electronic voice sounded again, "Morning training! Carry at least 80% of your body weight and complete a one-kilometer workout. After regaining stamina, engage in resistance training...

Night training, train perception and combat awareness in the dark, and summarize the training results before sleeping."

As the voice ended, the room was enveloped in silence.

"It actually answered," a Beastman scratched his head, "Seems a lot like the training methods of the major tribes."

"Did someone write it down? I’m going to ask the Shaman." someone shouted.

"It should be true, at least the morning training part is no different from the major tribes," an elderly voice chimed in.

The old shaman, leaning on a wooden staff, appeared at the stairs.

...

In the City Lord’s Mansion.

Wu Heng was holding the child, the chubby little one laughing gleefully in his arms.

At this time, four ghosts flew back and forth, Wu Qin reached out to grab them, and Xiao Xiao flew over beside him, "Qinqin, did you miss sister?"

The other ghosts, too, came over with fond expressions to interact.

Little Wu Qin giggled continuously.

Wu Heng handed the child over to the Skeleton Ghost Hag beside him and then asked, "How’s the effect at the church over there?"

Glenda replied, "The reaction at the church is very good; such a place should be more suitable for gathering faith than Gold and Silver Island."

Wu Heng understood her implication; the more remote the place, the easier it was to spread.

Especially since Beastmen have some faith in nature and ancestors.

Xiao Xiao teased little Wu Qin, then flew over and said, "There were a lot of people near the church, there were three or four fights over alcohol, I saw a Beastman’s tooth get knocked out, and the blood sprayed higher than a fountain!"

"Why was that?" Wu Heng asked.

Xiao Xiao said, "It was probably just too crowded! I didn’t exactly hear why, but it was quite a ruckus."

Lady sneered, "Back when Chaoge held grand sacrifices, situations like yours didn’t happen."

Wu Heng glanced at her.

He thought to tell her to try holding a grand ceremony in the border villages and see if all the priests’ belongings get seized.

Comparing the Royal City to a place like this is a completely different matter.

But remembering that he needed her to write the ’Body Refining Technique’ later, he swallowed his words, saying, "How could I compare to someone like you, Lady."

"You certainly didn’t think that was what you meant. Say what you wanted to say." Lady flew over.

"That’s genuinely what I was thinking," Wu Heng insisted.

"Hmmph!" Lady glared at him.

Glenda asked next, "What’s your plan next?"

"I’ll stay here for another day, then head to Chelu tomorrow," Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao, using her telekinesis, swayed the Wanderer’s cradle, asking, "Where is that?"

Bella reminded her, "It’s the Royal City of the Yeko Kingdom."

Xiao Xiao was curious, "Are we going to deal with the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, we’ll go over to see how things are," Wu Heng nodded.

Ring ring ring~!

In the midst of conversation, the phone rang.

It was a call from Mini.

Upon answering, Mini’s image appeared on the phone screen, "Master, is everything going well on your end?"

"Smoothly, all quite good," Wu Heng then asked, "Is everything alright on Gold and Silver Island?"

"There’s nothing concerning on Gold and Silver Island."

Mini paused slightly and then continued, "Master, the radio station you instructed us to set up was already receiving messages by yesterday afternoon. Besides receiving frequencies from headquarters, it can also receive frequencies from the Elf Race, the Dwarf Race, and The Holy Court."
