Chapter 207 Finale
In the Holy City, in the courtyard where the Holy Maiden resided, the ancient willow tree sprouted new buds three times over.
Just half a month after the end of the cold season, the holy city has already become lively. On the cobblestone streets, the laughter of cubs, the shouts of merchants, and the conversations of pedestrians are all intertwined.
Since the Holy City Lord introduced the fertility-enhancing medicine six years ago, the fertility rate of the entire Holy City—no, the entire Holy Domain—has skyrocketed. What was once a rare treat has become a place where naked infants are everywhere. They take on animal or human forms, chasing and playing, looking around curiously, their innocent laughter seemingly filling the entire Holy City with vitality.
"Did you know? The city lord's partner this time is also a dragon!"
In the city center, a group of people gathered in a spacious square, discussing recent major events with great enthusiasm.
An older female said, "Not only dragons, but they also come from the far east. That clan has the strongest ninth-tier beings!" She spoke slowly and deliberately, interspersed with a few coughs.
"Really? Really? Then what number beastman is our city lord?" an elderly male beastman passing by asked curiously.
"Ah, no orcs have ever discussed that."
Upon hearing this, the stall owner next to him immediately chimed in: "No matter what rank our city lord is, the city lord is definitely the most powerful. I heard that he was already the strongest ninth-rank expert many years ago."
"Yes, we'll support them no matter what place they get."
"Yes, yes."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The old man's face darkened, and he looked slightly disappointed: "Oh, that's a bit of a pity."
"What's wrong, sir?" The crowd looked at him with confusion, not knowing what he was disappointed about.
The old man paused, organized his thoughts, and finally decided to boast a little: "Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that I have a nephew in the Holy Maiden's Yao Tribe Alliance, and he's already at the seventh level, so," the old man stroked his beard, "I'd like to see if he has a chance to become a partner with a dragon!"
Upon hearing this, the people around him immediately became interested and urged the old man to talk about his nephew. More importantly, they wanted to learn about the Yao tribal alliance, which was known as the "sacred place for sending offspring."
The old man became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, recounting his nephew's talents in his childhood and his achievements in the tribe, his face full of pride. "We didn't have the fertility pills from the Goddess of Fertility or the fertility tonics that had a 50% chance of making a child. This nephew is the only one of his kind among the younger generation, and we don't want him to have a bright future and a good marriage!"
"So he can't find a good one in the Yao Tribe Alliance? He definitely has no chance with the city lord's partner." A young orc complained on behalf of their city lord. They hadn't even tied the knot yet, how could an orc be trying to steal him away?
“Oh, you don’t know! Three years ago, the identity of the Holy Maiden who sent off the children was exposed, and then the Yao Tribe Alliance went into martial law and strictly controlled the entry of orcs. Most of the young orcs there got married around that time. My nephew only went there last year, so there are no suitable females for him.”
"Oh, so your nephew just went there. I thought he was one of the orcs!"
"That's right, but I heard that last year, the Holy Maiden's seahorse beast husband gave birth to twenty cubs in one litter?" a young beastman said, leaning closer.
"You just found out? Last year during the rainy season, the Holy Maiden's other seahorse beast husband gave birth to eighteen cubs in one litter, which caused a sensation across the continent. If the Yao Tribe Alliance hadn't already brought the seahorse tribe into the alliance for protection, all the male seahorse beastmen would have been forcibly taken away."
"Yes, such fertility is terrifying."
The crowd erupted in a flurry of voices, all agreeing with each other.
At this moment, a male orc with light blue skin asked, "I heard that the Holy Maiden will also be attending the Holy City Lord's marriage ceremony?"
"Of course! The city lord is her brother. Hey, do you think the Holy Maiden will feel a bit disappointed if the city lord gets married?"
Upon hearing this, an old man immediately shook his head: "You young people just don't understand. That's the Holy Maiden! The Holy Maiden has a broad mind! She always puts the big picture first and would definitely sincerely wish the city lord well."
"Yes, don't talk nonsense. I heard that the Holy Maiden and the City Lord's partner have a very good relationship!"
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
"Did the Holy Maiden arrive long ago?" the blue-skinned orc asked again.
“Of course,” the old man said with certainty. “My son works at the temple and he saw the young clan leader’s partner. She’s the female that the Holy Maiden has kept by her side since she was a child.”
"Really? Isn't it beautiful?"
"They're beautiful, that's for sure. Aren't all the women around the Holy Maiden beautiful?"
"Too."
Seeing the conversation veering off-topic, the young man who had asked the question squeezed out of the crowd and walked toward the blue-shadowed beast carriage parked not far away.
"Brother Aoki, have you asked if the Holy Maiden has come to the Holy City?" A boy was sitting in the carriage, holding a four or five-year-old girl with ram horns on her head.
"Yes, she's here."
"Then let's go find her!"
"No."
"Why?" the boy asked, increasingly puzzled.
"There's no need to look for her anymore. Knowing she's doing well puts my mind at ease!" Aoki said with a slight smile, his head bowed.
"But I still want to go and thank her!" the boy muttered. "If it weren't for the Holy Maiden, our family wouldn't be so happy today."
Aoki got into the carriage, picked up the reins, and the wheels rolled over the cobblestone road with a creaking sound as it slowly drove away.
Aoki looked again toward the temple, where the golden dome shone brilliantly, solemn and majestic, as if it held all the beauty in the world.
Chu Xinyao, Your Majesty, may you be happy for the rest of your life!
