Chapter 42: Priest in disguise
Towering Tree House
A Yao knocked melon seed shells all over the floor. Two men who were very experienced in doing bad things gave her an even more awesome spy education.

Ah Yao was eating melon seeds with his head down, listening with a sly look in his eyes.

Mu Hui: "If Kitty is pretending to be me, she should at least say hello, so that we can work together and make it airtight."

Ying: "If I hadn't reacted quickly today, you would have been exposed by the name of Master Yao. It's always better to be careful."

A Yao drank a bowl of fruit tea with a dry mouth and nodded vigorously.

Mu Hui: "Then I won't leave the tree house for the next few days, so that the kitten can move more easily."

Ying: "I have already silenced all the beastmen in Wanshou City for Master Yao. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell us two."

The two men taught A Yao how to change his aura, taught A Yao the knowledge of being a priest, and taught A Yao how to control his mental power to secretly transmit information.

Three people were huddled together on the kang in a room, chatting and cracking melon seeds. They didn't look like people plotting something big, but rather like the bad old ladies who kept chattering on the kang in the countryside.

Each beast city has a different high priest who assists the city lord, performs divine tasks, has strong mental power, and cannot leave the city.

The high priests are all powerful orcs selected by the Beast Temple in Beast City. Since they can be remembered, they have been sent to the royal family and the temple to cross-inculcate knowledge in order to brainwash all the orcs in Beast City.

At the same time, the priests have more power than the city lords, but this is only the meaning of the Beast Temple. Most priests and city lords are still on an equal footing, and all matters big and small in the city are shared by these two orcs.

The Beast Temple has always been a very dangerous and mysterious organization. Mu Hui hopes that A Yao will never have anything to do with them.

The city lord hopes that Lord A Yao will allow him to kill the goddess directly to prevent future troubles.

But A Yao repeatedly persuaded him that the current goddess had no hostility towards him, so he could only act as a spy every day to find out the situation from various aspects.

This is how the big crocodile and the little wolf were appeased.

Fortunately, the information about the high priest and the city lord of each city is kept confidential. Only their names are provided but no other detailed information, such as race, gender and abilities.

Instead, it was a good thing for the little fox A Yao.

The goddess Tong Yao failed to catch His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, so she had to rest in the pavilion of the main priest's hall. Tong Yao lay on the table with a painful look on her face.

She crossed her slender arms and rested her head on them, still worrying about the task assigned to her by the Beast God.

A Yao changed her outfit today. She wore a white and gold dragon robe decorated with five gold rings. When she walked, the same jingling sound was made as the high priest's. However, her legs were short, so she could not walk with the same elegance as the high priest.

Instead it was a bit noisy.

Ying and A Yao walked side by side. As long as he finished the things in his hands, he would accompany Master A Yao, mainly because he was worried about him.

A Yao wore a mask with a green face and fangs, revealing only his cold eyes.

The city lord pursed his lips slightly, his strong body wrapped in black tights, and the wolf-fur ribbon made him look majestic.

Both of them have quite white hair, and they look a bit like a couple.

He walked to the side of the goddess, nodded politely, and looked at the gesture made by A Yao from the corner of his eye. He spoke first, "The high priest and I have something to discuss with the goddess. Do you have time to talk?"

Tong Yao saw that the city lord's eyes were glowing green, and she quickly stood up and sat up straight.

She smiled sweetly. "Please take a seat, both of you. Tong Yao will certainly have time."

A Yao was not polite at all. She had a heavy butt and was lazy, so she sat down quickly. Ying, on the other hand, sat next to her properly.

The girl tapped her clean fingers in the air, leaving a line of words in the air: "Your Excellency the Goddess has been in Beast King City for seven days. Recently, I found that Your Excellency the Goddess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are very close. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask."

Ying spoke slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Lu Bei has been in Wanshou City for a long time, which is not a good thing for me and the High Priest, because the royal family is always doing things in the city, which will affect the status of me and the High Priest."

Tong Yao's expression was somewhat moved. Thinking of the stubborn Crown Prince, she rubbed her restless temples.

"To be honest, the Beast God Temple and the Beast King City have made an engagement. His Excellency the Crown Prince and I are supposed to be a family, but now His Excellency Lu Bei does not want to complete the marriage with me. Otherwise, as a goddess, I would not have been running around in the Beast City all the time."

There were undercurrents in A Yao's eyes. It turned out that there was such an embarrassing thing. It was really a big melon!

The fire of gossip is burning
Ah Yao waved his fingers, and the word "water" changed its appearance: "Your Excellency the Goddess, what you mean is that the Crown Prince has not yet consummated his marriage, so you came to look for him?"

There was a rare smile in the city lord's eyes, and he wished that the little deer king would get out of here quickly.

Ying: "Now that the goddess has a common goal with the two of us, why don't the high priest and I help Her Excellency the goddess?"

A Yao quickly gave Ying a thumbs up on his sleeve with his other hand. Experience always counts, so he decided to go with the flow and kill two birds with one stone!

The wind rustled the leaves, and the goddess Tong Yao's black hair was blown by the wind, and she looked a little nervous.

She asked in surprise, "How can you two interfere in the affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

A Yao smiled slightly under the mask. That was too much of a meddler. He wanted to intervene now.

The mist swirled in the air, forming a few large characters: "Lu Bei and I are old acquaintances."

Ying: "The high priest has known His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time. He can help the goddess create an opportunity to get close to her. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be suspicious of the high priest. They grew up together."

What Ying said was half true and half false. A Yao could barely be considered an old acquaintance of the Little Deer King, but the one who grew up with Lu Bei was the real high priest Mu Hui.

Tong Yao was a little hesitant at first, but the mechanical voice in her mind suddenly rang out.

[System: Host, promise them that if you miss this good opportunity, you may never get it again. Although this priest is a bit strange, he has no ill will towards you.]

Tong Yao diligently poured a bowl of water for the high priest and said politely, "Then I'll rely on the high priest's help."

A Yao didn't dare to drink it, but instead used her hands to collect all the water in the bowl. She couldn't take off her mask, and she didn't know if there was anything strange in the water.

The goddess who looks gentle and charming is also a time traveler, so one must be on guard against her.

Ying explained: "The high priest's ability is quite special. He cannot take off his mask to show himself to others. This is the high priest's ability. She did this to thank the goddess for her kindness."

Tong Yao held her face and smiled like a flower. Originally, this strange priest seemed scary to her, but after becoming an alliance with him, she found the high priest quite cute.

The nursery rhyme did not forget to flatter the high priest.

"The high priest's ability is really convenient. This ability can only be traced back to the bloodline of the Deer God worshipped by the royal family. Tong Yao has seen many royal families, and although they can also control liquids, this is the first time she has seen an orc who can create water out of thin air like the high priest. It's amazing."

A Yao's body tensed up instantly. Royal family, Deer God?
