Returning To The Cultivation World Through A Game Chapter 99
Advertisement
The old pastor's name was Auden.
Now Qin Tian knew that Clara came to the church quite often to pray. He also did not expect that the woman was a religious woman. No wonder she didn't want to be touched before they were officially married in the church.
...
The pastor then took them both into the church.
Although the outside of the church building is very old, the inside is well maintained. Only, no one was there. Even the church's charity box was almost empty.
But as Clara passed the charity box, she put in tens of 100 dollar bills.
Qin Tian estimated that she put more than 5000 dollars into the charity box. They are of course a very large number. However, the average monthly income of most citizens of developed countries is only about 300 to 500 dollars.
Even the old pastor. Qin Tian was pretty sure that he really was a devout and religious man, but even he couldn't help but glance at the charity box when he saw the amount of money Clara had put in.
But the old pastor's faith seemed to be very strong indeed.
"Umm, ummm." He cleared his throat a few times.
"Clara, you have to save your money well for your future children. Don't spend too much on other things." He says.
Clara then said. "No, the blessings from grandfather Zeus passed down through you to us can't compare to this little money, I have to help you and your church."
She looked solemn as she said that.
But Qin Tian was intrigued by how Clara called Zeus's name. She added the word grandfather before the word Zeus. Usually only the people of Olympus use that word to address Zeus.
He received a message from Luna after that.
"I can't spread my spiritual sense through this smartphone, but this girlfriend of yours seems to be a descendant of Zeus, master."

"Descendants of Zeus huh!"
Qin Tian started to think about the things Clara said yesterday.
When it came to the Olympus tribe, things must have been very complicated.
The old pastor was still trying to advise Clara.
He says. "As long as your heart has that kind of intention, that's enough. You don't have to sacrifice yourself too much. God Zeus surely understands the thoughts of his grandchildren."
But Clara still persisted in what she was doing. The priest could only give up in the end.
He then led them to the main hall of the church. There was a sizeable statue of Zeus in the center of the hall.
"Alright, let's start the ceremony, I'm sure you two can't wait." Said the old priest with a playful smile.
Clara nodded and she then pulled Qin Tian's hand towards the front of the statue.
"Let's prostrate." She said as soon as they arrived in front of the statue.
Qin Tian had seen the wedding ceremony in the church several times, so he was not too confused.
But prostrating before the statue of the old geezer made him not know whether to laugh or cry. If it really was a statue of Zeus, he could still accept it, but who knew whose statue it was.
Besides, they weren't even wearing bridal attire, they were just wearing school uniforms.
Luckily no one was there.
....
Their wedding ceremony was carried out without a plan and was completed quickly.
After that, they went back to travel by car, Qin Tian didn't know where she was going to take him.
But right now they were heading towards the eastern part of the city.
To the east of the city is the ocean. Although not many beaches can be found there, but there are quite a number of resorts there.
Only, the atmosphere in the car was a little awkward.

Qin Tian glanced at Clara and found she was also glancing at him.
The moment their gazes met, she suddenly smiled sweetly and she then said. "Hubby!"
"Sigh." Qin Tian sighed. "Clara, you mustn't say this to Yingyue." He says.
"I know." Answered Clara. "Your brocon sister might get mad if she finds out we're married."
"...."
"Mmm, but I was really surprised by you today." Qin Tian said.
"Strange, isn't it? How can a woman like me be so religious. You may not know, I even thought about becoming a nun."
"..."
"Sigh." She also sighed. "You have no idea how stressful my life is. I've thought many times about giving up on my purpose in life. Being a nun in a church might not be such a bad thing."
Her expression started to become melancholic.
Qin Tian couldn't bear to see her expression so he reached out to stroke her hair.
"From now on we will share the burden." Qin Tian said.
"Mm." She smiled back as she nodded.
"Do you want to know why I became so religious?"
Qin Tian nodded, waiting for her to explain.
The woman then looked ahead and touched her chest. "That's because grandfather Zeus was always by my side whenever I was suffering."
"Oh!" Qin Tian looked at her with a curious expression.
He didn't understand what Clara meant.
Of course, he had heard of some people who claimed a god was present by their side, they usually dreamed of their god while they were sleeping. But according to scientific research it is nothing more than a psychological problem.
Clara is a very intelligent woman, she must understand that.
"It's a miracle. I know it's hard to believe. But it's real." She continued.
"The fact that I was able to live up to now is thanks to that miracle."
"Well, you'll understand once you know my identity."
She didn't speak again after that and focused on driving the car.
Some time later, they arrived at a resort overlooking the sea.
There were no visitors at the resort, but the resort workers were working as usual. They looked like they were waiting for an important guest.
Seeing Clara park her car in the resort's courtyard, Qin Tian guessed that they were the guests they were waiting for.
As soon as the car stopped, Clara looked back at him.
This time she took out her smartphone.
She swiped her smartphone screen several times before speaking.
"Now is the time for you to find out my identity, and why I have appeared in this city." Said Clara.
Qin Tian instantly felt tense upon hearing her words.
But in his heart he swore; no matter what Clara's identity is, no matter what her goals are for approaching him, and what her true feelings are, he will still make her his woman. He would keep her by his side no matter what happened.
Even if she turns out to be not the Clara he knows, he will suppress her with his strength so that she will forever be by his side.
He's not the kind of guy who likes a woman who only submits to him.
The woman he wants is a woman with aspirations, ambitions, and paths of her own.
Clara then handed her smartphone to him.
He accepted the smartphone and then stared at the screen of the smartphone.
What appeared on the smartphone screen was a virtual identity card.

Soten (Book I in The Saga of Mira the Godless)
Anyone on the Isle will say Lady Mira caused the Twenty Years' War. While they're at it, they'll call her a witch, a whore, or a heathen, maybe all three in the same breath. Soten is Mira's version of the story. Captive in a Northern village, Mira expects brutality from the rough climate and harsh Northerners. Instead, she discovers a land where people speak their thoughts out loud, where women are free to be with any they desire, and those who divine messages from the gods are listened to, not burnt at the stake. Mira's idyllic new life is threatened when she hears of her brother's growing army to the south; she doesn't need rescuing; she's far too attached to the life she's building (and the lighthearted raider who is quickly becoming a central part of it). Then she meets Arik, the enigmatic Norsern king, a man who has drastic plans for next season's raids, plans that involve the sister of a great southern commander. To Mira, this is a story about love. To the rest of the world, it is a story about war. Book II: KAKEN coming soon!
