Chapter 460 - 0282 The sinful Miss Yun also prays to God (two-in-one)_2

In the dream, she heard the girl’s prayers to God, sincerely praying for her husband, Yun Qian... she didn’t know what to feel.

Of course, she wouldn’t be jealous.

But she also felt something slowly growing inside her...

This might be her guilt.

Compared to the passionate yet restrained Miss Liu, Miss Yun has so much to learn, so much to strive for... Otherwise, why should she replace her destiny, why replace her marriage?

Just because of the unacceptable passage of time?

Yun Qian thought everything she did was to make "him" happy, but in fact, even if she wasn’t there, someone else could make him happy too.

Miss Liu’s wishes seemed to splash like spring water into Yun Qian’s eyes, reflecting a shimmering mist.

Yun Qian slowly closed her eyes, covering the emotions that were about to overflow.

She deeply realized something.

She needed to try harder.

If she went through life beside him, and at the final reckoning felt her presence wasn’t worth it, then the name "Yun Qian" would be a failure indeed.

Not knowing what to do, Miss Yun could start by learning something simple; she was an eager learner.

——For example, she also wanted to go to the temple and pray for her husband, praying for those things God could give him that she couldn’t.

At least not the same temple as Liu Qingluo, she needed a different one.

Hmm...

Was Liu Qingluo kneeling when she prayed?

In the girl’s prayers——

Miss Yun is also a girl.

The guilty Miss Yun decided to pray to God today.

Which God would be so lucky?

——

——

On the Cloud Boat.

Watching Yun Qian closely, Xu Chang’an had no idea what his Miss Yun was thinking, nor did he know which God’s temple she intended to trouble.

He simply couldn’t understand Miss Yun’s logic.

Yun Qian leaned against him, covered by the thick blanket Xu Chang’an had taken from the Storage Pouch, disrupted by her breathing, she slowly opened her eyes.

Feeling a little dazed, Yun Qian covered her lips with her finger and yawned.

"Ha... ah..."

At that moment, her eyelashes lightly trembled, her eyes carried a hint of moisture, akin to plum blossoms quivering in the early morning, with dew drops on the reddish petals.

Seeing Yun Qian wake up, Xu Chang’an smiled: "How was your sleep, still comfortable?"

"..." Yun Qian’s gaze was vacant for a moment, then she shook her head.

"Just now... I dreamt."

"Blame me." Xu Chang’an immediately said: "Sleeping so uncomfortably, naturally you’d dream."

He quickly reached out and pulled Yun Qian into his arms, patting her back: "Hopefully, it wasn’t a nightmare."

"How do you know it’s a nightmare?" Yun Qian blinked.

"Really was a nightmare?" Xu Chang’an was just joking, but hearing Yun Qian’s words, he immediately became tense.

"Just for a moment..." Yun Qian traced her finger across her lips, seriously saying: "Then it wasn’t uncomfortable."

Her husband’s kiss, like a gentle breeze, scattered her past, pulling her up from the depths of the sea.

"Cough." Xu Chang’an coughed lightly.

Had the girl realized what he did while she slept...

"So, why did you wake up?" Xu Chang’an slightly tightened his hold, the girl was wrapped in his embrace, "It hasn’t been long at all, and since the nightmare’s gone, why don’t you sleep a bit more."

Wrapped in Xu Chang’an’s atmosphere, Yun Qian’s expression remained calm, but her ears blushed, she twisted a bit, "There’s something I want to ask you."

"What is it?"

"About God."

"God?"

Listening to Yun Qian’s strange words, Xu Chang’an was a bit puzzled, thinking carefully, he realized it was probably his own fault again.

Previously, when he saw the Grand Monk at the ruined temple in Beisang City, he mentioned "Buddha" to her, saying it was a type of God.

Later, he suspected she was some "God" from the heavens messing with him...

After all these mentions of God, it’s not surprising Miss Yun would be curious.

It’s not a taboo topic anyway, so Xu Chang’an nodded: "What’s about God? Anything you want to ask?"

"What is God, I don’t understand." Yun Qian’s watery eyes showed confusion.

"Didn’t the novels I transcribed mention it?" Xu Chang’an asked back.

"Just briefly, I want to know more specifically." Yun Qian buried her head against Xu Chang’an, thinking... if it’s a God he recognized, praying for him should be more effective.

"Let me think." Xu Chang’an didn’t intend to brush off the girl, and after some thought, he explained: "Miss, to understand God, you must divide it into parts."

"Divide?" Yun Qian tilted her head, thinking she should kill the God before praying?

"First is ’God’, God is the essence of humanity, having God leads to heart, having heart leads to thought."

"’Ming’, then, means clear and thorough."

Oh, so that’s the division.

She misunderstood.

Yun Qian continued listening.

"So, the original meaning of God refers to those who have cultivated to a high level, becoming one inside and out to the extreme, their ’God’ manifesting in thoughts and actions."

After careful thinking, Xu Chang’an gave Yun Qian a concept of mortals becoming Gods.

By this logic, Zhu Pingniang, Li Zhibai, both have cultivated to very high levels, they can be considered Gods.

The closest to being God, or even said to be God itself, would of course be Sect Leader Chaoyun.

After simply understanding, Yun Qian thought praying to such people seemed different from the God she understood from Xu Chang’an’s books, slightly odd: "Your book... doesn’t say this, it’s the type where you can make wishes."

"I know." Xu Chang’an spread his hands: "The God in books refers to all divine beings, omnipotent ones... correct?"

"Mm." Yun Qian nodded.

Omnipotence was impossible, knowing even the girl couldn’t be omnipotent, she couldn’t ensure Xu Chang’an’s constant affection, how could there be an omnipotent God.

But roughly that’s the idea.

"I personally prefer the God after mortals reach spiritual enlightenment." Xu Chang’an placed his palm on Yun Qian’s abdomen, saying: "But the God Miss understands is the conventional one, the creator and ruler of everything in this world, there’s nothing more to say."

For wish-making, naturally this kind of God is more popular.

But this kind of God is the firm belief of superstitious people, it means nothing to him.

Yet Yun Qian wanted this type of God, as she used Liu Qingluo’s logic.

"The creator and ruler of everything in this world..." Yun Qian repeated twice, looking down.

She knew this, right before her eyes, hidden within her husband.

The creator and ruler of everything in this world, isn’t that the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth, Impermanence Dao?

That’s now hiding inside Xu Chang’an, thinking of itself as the System.

It truly is God.

Meaning, should she pray to it?

By kneeling?

But if she suddenly kneeled in front of her husband, he wouldn’t be pleased.

Yun Qian wouldn’t feel ashamed to recite Liu Qingluo’s lines before Xu Chang’an, merely thought he’d find it strange, think she was ill.

Besides, Miss Liu prayed without him knowing, avoiding trouble.

Yun Qian also didn’t want him to know... unless he asked her.

But Xu Chang’an explained God’s meaning clearly.

"...?"

Whatever Xu Chang’an was contemplating, he suddenly noticed the Celestial Dao Points inexplicably rising again, and glanced down to see they were definitely nearing Beisang City.

"This Beisang City is indeed strange." Xu Chang’an frowned, murmured: "Those fifty thousand Celestial Dao Points last time are still unexplained... now it’s happening again."

He spoke freely, presumptive Yun Qian wouldn’t understand.

"Is it the God’s doing?" Yun Qian asked.

"Miss, do you dislike Gods? Using such words?" Xu Chang’an was helpless.

"Don’t know." Yun Qian thought she was contemplating kneeling.

Smelling Xu Chang’an’s scent, observing the mysterious Dao Pattern on him, the girl’s eyes were deep and still, contemplating unknown thoughts.

System: "..."
