"If you really can't live in town, who can do it."

　　 Shen Ye licked hard, and Ethan was a treasure in his eyes, maybe he could still be rubbing a wave of welfare.

　　 Ethan waved his hand and said, "I really can't hold it. If I really want to say who can hold this scene, maybe only the Lord Shen Yeguan can do it."

　　 Shen Ye's smile became a little awkward when he heard this, why did he mention himself?

　　 "Actually, Lord Ethan, don't listen to the people in the group beeping. Actually, Lord Shen Ye may not be better than you."

"No, I watched the entire battle, and I think I can't win even in its heyday. It's beyond the range of normal perception. How can the strength of the alliance government surpass Master Shen Ye Hall? It is estimated that both hands can be counted."

　　 Ethan directly gave a very high evaluation.

　　 Shen Ye was a little embarrassed to hear it, Lao Tzu is here to do his tricks, he is here to praise himself solemnly.

　　 "Master Ethan, you are still too humble."

　　 "Hey, forget it, Mr. Beiyu, I remember you said that you are very good at investigation, right?"

　　 Ethan asked Beiyu seriously.

　　 "Yes, I am quite accomplished in this respect."

　　 "Then I will trouble you. Recently, please help pay attention to the movement of Xingyuan City. If there is anything unusual, please let me know as soon as possible."

"good!"

　　 Shen Ye responded without hesitation.

　　——

　　 A few days later, Shen Ye stood on the roof of a high-rise building, looking at the magnificent Xingyuan City.

　　 At this time, the city of Xingyuan is extremely lively, and white lanterns are hung on the streets and alleys in every household.

　　 Above the city, hot-air balloon airships, hung with various festive ribbons, kept wandering.

　　At the same time, all the holographic image advertisements on the surface of each building were replaced by movies and interviews to promote the festival.

　　 Shen Ye let out a breath, everything is calm and there is no problem, Ethan is indeed a little sensitive.

　　 buzzing~

　　 Shen Ye took out the phone from his pocket and picked it up.

　　 "Hello?, Aleksey."

　　 "I am waiting for you in the central square of the city."

　　 "Okay, I will go over."

　　 Shen Ye stretched out, and after attending the ceremonial ceremony with Alix today, he can leave. Although nothing happened this time, the gains were still leveraged.

　　 Soon after a deep night, I came to the central square of the city. It is super lively, and there are young men and women in groups everywhere.

Shen Ye saw Aleksey in the crowd. She was wearing a blue floral skirt, with slender silver hair scattered on her shoulders, and her beautiful face was painted with light makeup. It was very touching, as if walking from a painting. It's like coming out.

　　 There are many young people around, looking at Alexis, their eyes are dull.

　　 Suddenly a few girls were annoyed and grabbed their boyfriend’s ears, and there was a sound of killing pigs everywhere.

　　 But one thing is pretty good. Although there are a lot of people, no one came up to strike up a conversation, because most of the young men and women who come here today are mostly in pairs.

"I am coming."

　　 Shen Ye walked to Aleksey's side.

　　 "Well, let's go."

　　 Alexis's voice changed from the coldness of the past, with a hint of warmth.

　　 It's a pity that Shen Ye didn't notice it.

　　 Yalikxi walked forward with Shen Ye. Along the way, he could see an elite guard standing, basically one in ten steps, and the defense was very tight.

　　 But this kind of strict defense did not destroy the festive atmosphere, but made the people more at ease.

　　 didn't go far, and saw temporary wooden houses erected on the square, where many young men and women lined up to get things.

"what is this?"

　　 "Divine grace, every couple of men and women can receive a pair, holding this pair of divine grace, you can participate in the blessing ceremony of the star goddess, let's get a pair too."

　　 Yalikxi looked forward to Shen Ye with some expectation.

　　 Shen Ye nodded and replied: "Okay."

　　 He is playing with Alexey today, so naturally he will not refuse.

The two walked up and lined up, and soon it was their turn. Standing in front of the wooden house was a white-haired old woman wearing the traditional white and black robes of the Star Abyss Empire. She kindly took out a bamboo tube, inside. Put a lot of simple bamboo sticks.

　　 "Come on, take one per person, remember to be sincere!"

"OK."

　　 Yalikxi and Shen Ye stretched out their hands at the same time, and pulled out one at the same time.

　　 Shen Ye glanced at the bamboo stick that he pulled out of his hand, and it seemed to have something vaguely written on it. However, due to the longevity, the handwriting has been blurred, and basically can't read clearly, he asked curiously.

　　 "What is written on this?"

　　 The old woman smiled and said, "If there is a fate, the gods will tell you."

"haha okay."

　　 Shen Ye smiled awkwardly, and didn't care too much. He estimated that this event was similar to the Festival of Autumn. There are no gods in this world, it is more of a belief.

　　 After receiving the divine favor, the two of Shen Ye walked forward.

　　 There is a huge altar at the center of the square. On the stage stands a statue of the goddess with an invisible face, dressed in a robe of stars, with slender hair scattered, and holding a stone bottle.

　　 At this time, the Lord of Moridoya was wearing a special robes and was performing cumbersome rituals and sacrifices to the idols.

　　 Behind him, a young man with a retro four-faced costume and strange costumes danced in a rhythm.

　　 There were a lot of onlookers, and there was a live broadcast.

　　 The opening ceremony of the whole worship lasted for more than an hour, and finally bowed to the idol in Moridoa, turned around and announced to the crowd.

　　 "Star sacrifices and blessing activities officially begin."

　　 Just after Moridoya made the announcement, everyone present cheered excitedly.

"Very good."

　　……

　　 At this time, Shen Ye saw a very interesting scene. He originally thought he would go on stage in pairs, but found that it was not the case. All the girls on stage.

　　 These girls who came on stage knelt in front of the stone statue of the goddess one by one, clasped their hands in prayer.

　　 Everyone in the room concentrated on watching.

　　 Kneeling girls at this time, most of the girls' hair began to turn silvery white.

　　 There are bright smiles on the faces of those girls.

"This is?"

　　 Shen Ye looked at this scene in amazement.

　　 "They got the blessing of the goddess, so their hair will become silvery white. That's why there are so many women in our Xingyuan Empire, and their hair will be silvery white, because we all believe in the same goddess."

　　 Yalikshi explained.

　　 "Then your hair is also for this reason?"

"Yes."

　　 "But isn't this ceremony only once in a hundred years?"

Chapter VIII Secret

"Once in a hundred years is a ceremonial ceremony, which is mainly open to civilians. At this time, civilians pray, it is easier to get a response. Like our royal family members, they pray directly in the temple when they are adults. And the reason why my father refused to postpone the sacrifice, In fact, it's not the arrogance you think. He is just to stabilize the people at the bottom. After all, he is already panicked. If such an important festival is cancelled again, the morale of the Star Abyss Empire will definitely drop."

　　 Yalikxi explained to Shen Ye.

　　 "It turns out that there is such a connection, but what is the difference between a person who is blessed and a woman who is not blessed."

　　 Shen Ye asked very interested.

"Getting the blessing means that the woman has maintained a pure body until she reaches adulthood, and therefore she has been blessed by the goddess. And those women who have not been blessed indicate that they are no longer pure, and may have been emotional and lost before becoming an adult. The first kiss or loss of body. If you change to a woman who had this situation in the early years, she will be scorned and even severely punished. But now with the development of the times, it will not be that way. But still will be rumored. , And those girls who successfully get blessed will be worth more and more popular at the same time."

　　 "You take this so seriously here."

　　 Shen Ye said with a smile.

　　 "Yes, we have always looked at it very seriously here. Once the first kiss is given to someone voluntarily, it means that I have fallen in love with him."

　　 Yalikxi looked at Shen Ye with bright eyes.

　　 "Oh, it turned out to be like this. If you give it, what will happen if you fail?"

　　 Shen Ye asked curiously.

　　 "Then, that girl will commit suicide or die alone."

　　Alix looked into the distance with his hands on his back.

　　 "Uh, it's a bit too much. But I believe that there are generally no boys who will not refuse such a affectionate girl, unless it is the kind of heartless beast."

　　 Shen Ye also answered with deep emotion.

　　 "Really?" Yalikxi asked slowly from the bottom of his head.

　　 "Of course, I don't see the kind of guilty man the most. It's absolutely horrible." Shen Ye smiled naturally.

　　 "Then, I gave you the first kiss in order to save you in the land of the Red Sea, and you have seen your body. Are you responsible for me?" Aleksey asked softly.

"what?"

　　 The smile on Shen Ye's face suddenly stiffened, like a bolt from the blue.

　　 Is this a confession? When did Alexis give him the first kiss? Why don't you know? And he seems to have put his own routine into it.

　　 Then Shen Ye suddenly reacted, and Alexi called herself over, saying that he was going to slap Ethan in the face. In fact, that was not the main purpose, but more for him.

　　 Shen Ye's expression showed a bit of bitterness, and his heart was a little messy for a while.

　　 Now he doesn't even know how to explain to Xiaoya even with Yunlan, and Ye Han has confessed his heart to him not long ago, let alone Alixi now.

　　 Yalikxi looked at Shen Ye quietly, without urging him.

　　 Shen Ye took a deep breath. In fact, if he were to change to the original self, Shen Ye could guarantee that he would never have so many thoughts. In the early days of haziness, that is, at the time of first love, if you meet the right person, your feelings will not be shaken by the outside world. But as people grow, their thinking matures, their openness and their insights grow, they will meet more and more outstanding women. In fact, there are few pure friendships between men and women, and they will eventually become emotions between men and women. At this time, if your strength has grown to a very high level, you will not want to leave regrets, and your mentality will change accordingly. You don't want to be constrained by the world anymore, and you want to give yourself a fulfillment.

　　 Shen Ye took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to Aleksey.

　　 Yalikxi's body trembled slightly, she raised her little hand and put it on Shen Ye's, her face showed a long-lost smile.

　　 The two of them couldn't help but get closer, watching the sacrificial ceremony together, Alexi gently leaned his head on Shen Ye's body, she felt that the world was not monotonous at this moment, but full of colors.

　　 And Shen Ye was also lost in thought at this time. As he worries more, his heart is actually more depressed. Deep in his heart, there is always a big secret hidden. This secret is a secret that Shen Ye can't even think of, a secret that makes him tremble from the heart. And this secret was planted at the beginning, and this feeling became stronger and stronger as I grew up and experienced it along the way. Originally, he had already chosen to settle down with the situation, so he just had to live his life well. But until I finally saw Ethan, that feeling reappeared.

　　 In the end, I don’t know if it is good or bad.

　　 At this moment, there was a trembling thunder in the sky.

　　 The sky in the distance was like a bunch of mirrors shattering, and countless gray mists poured out, covering the entire sky. Amidst the gray mist, giant virtual bone beasts appeared one after another, and they could even reach the looming lair behind them.

　　 The people present screamed in fear when they saw this scene, and everyone rushed around.

　　 Shen Ye was also dumbfounded.

this! ! !

　　 Such a big handwriting directly overlaps a part of the world of the void with a part of the reality.

　　 The specific situation is a bit similar to that of the Halloween, but it is much more serious than that of the Halloween. This is dominated by the Void alien race. Until their central magic circle is destroyed, the overlap will not disappear, but will only become more and more serious.

　　 If you guessed it correctly, the Void Alien race wants to directly overlap and invade the Star Abyss planet, and directly transform it into its own habitat.

　　 At this time, the Lord of Moridoya who was presiding over the sacrifice had a stern face. He roared: "Come on, send my order, and gather troops immediately. I want those **** alien races to know what regret is!"

　　 But the words are not finished yet.

　　 rumbling! ! !
