Chapter 98 Stunning the Audience
Chapter 98 Stunning the Audience
However, they didn't know that Xia Li possessed cultivation. With a light touch of her toes, she gracefully flew onto the stage, leaving behind a breathtakingly beautiful, swaying silhouette in the sky.
"Wow!"
Everyone was amazed once again.
At that moment, they felt that the goddess in their hearts had been resurrected.
This is what the Snow Goddess should look like!
"Snow God! Snow God!"
Someone couldn't help but shout out, and others echoed loudly, "Snow God! Snow God!"
The crowd is getting more and more excited!
Lin Wangxuan's mind raced. Staring at Xia Li's long, jet-black hair, he desperately cried out, "She's not the Snow Goddess! The Snow Goddess has white hair, but she doesn't!"
Everyone: "..."
How could they not know whether it was a human or a god? It was just a source of spiritual comfort for them.
Just as everyone was about to refute, they suddenly froze.
Because at that moment, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky. But it was only October, and even if Duzhou was colder than other places, it shouldn't be snowing in October.
So when some people realized what was happening, they shouted excitedly, "The Snow Goddess has been reincarnated! The Snow Goddess has been reincarnated!"
Soon, someone noticed a white figure floating in the sky. It was the shadow of a goddess in white clothes and with white hair. She emitted a soft white light that was not dazzling but made it impossible to see her face clearly.
Her long hair and the hem of her clothes fluttered in the wind, making her look like a god!
She landed in front of Xia Li.
Xia Li stood there motionless, like a statue waiting to be bestowed a title.
The white figure smiled slightly, then gently raised his hand and lightly touched Xia Li's brow with his fingertip. Suddenly, a snowflake mark appeared on Xia Li's brow, and his hair began to turn white from the top of his head, slowly transitioning to the ends until it was completely white.
And snowflake marks began to appear faintly on her white clothes!
After everything was completed, the goddess-like woman transformed into snowflakes and vanished inch by inch. Xia Li, on the other hand, radiated a faint, holy light.
"The Snow Goddess reincarnated! The Snow Goddess reincarnated!"
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then gradually came to their senses and began shouting enthusiastically again.
The people were not satisfied with just the cries; they knelt down and began to worship, shouting that the Snow God had descended.
Xia Li: "..."
There's no need to be so enthusiastic.
Some people knelt in devout worship, while others had eyes that looked like they were about to burst.
This scene had already enraged Lin Wangxuan to the point of losing his mind; his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Xia Li.
If someone's annual income suddenly drops from billions to a few hundred million, let alone if he's 40, even if he's 400, he'd be so angry he'd flip his coffin lid and jump up!
However, he could find no reason to refute this at this moment, and the mudslinging he had done earlier was no longer worth mentioning in front of this group of fanatical believers.
Xia Li was also taken aback by the sight. She quickly told everyone to get up: "Ahem! Thank you for your kindness, folks. Please get up, most of you are older than me, please don't make the younger generation feel uncomfortable."
Unmoved, Xia Li offered further words of persuasion, and finally managed to get everyone to stand up only by invoking the Snow God's authority.
As a result, the situation instantly turned one-sided, and many people clamored to choose Xia Li.
Although many vendors did not come up to showcase their products, that doesn't matter anymore.
What a joke! The owner and the shopkeeper have already fallen at her feet. Who else can create works that are so breathtaking?
There's not even a need for comparison in the third round.
So soon, the host announced that Xia Li had won the dragon head.
Lin Wangxuan roared, "That's not fair! How can you blindly follow her just because she has a full head of white hair?"
But they clearly underestimated the weight the Snow God held in people's hearts.
Some even scoffed, "Fairness? When you used your local connections to suppress her, why didn't you think about fair competition? When you plotted to frame and ruin her work, why didn't you talk about fairness?"
Xia Li could only smile bitterly upon hearing this. It turned out that they knew everything, but they pretended not to see it because he was an outsider.
However, she quickly recovered, realizing that she had no relation to these people and they had no obligation to help her.
Being able to stand firm and regain people's hearts is a matter of one's own ability!
The crowd chanted in unison, "Saintess! Saintess!"
The saintess is the incarnation of the goddess on earth.
Xia Li, as the leader of Duzhou City, stood on the podium and expressed his gratitude: "...Thank you all again for allowing me to successfully settle in Duzhou City. In return, I promise that for every order my shop completes, I will send two taels of silver to the City Lord's Mansion to help the people of Duzhou repair bridges and roads and improve their lives!"
After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and Tao Yao and Tao Zhi carried up an object that was half a person tall. It was covered with red silk, and although the two of them were dressed in lotus children's clothes, they were stunning, but they were made of low-grade silk. Although they were beautiful, they were cheap and practical, and even ordinary people could afford them.
Xia Li's actions were meant to tell everyone that her family also had affordable items.
She pulled back the red silk, and a statue of the Snow Goddess, exquisitely carved from the finest white jade, appeared before everyone.
Everyone gasped. How much would such a large piece of jade cost?
No, such a complete piece of jade is extremely rare and practically priceless!
Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, Xia Li slowly explained, "Secondly, when I went to the Snow God Temple to worship before, I discovered that some disabled people had great difficulty climbing the mountain. Therefore, I set up a small Snow God Temple behind the Golden Jade Hall so that those who have difficulty climbing the mountain could go and worship. We provide free incense, and if people contribute money for incense oil, in addition to maintaining the Snow God Temple, all of it will be donated to the improvement fund, contributing to our people. The Snow Goddess wants her people to get better and better."
"Good! Well said!"
The crowd clapped excitedly. They genuinely liked this wealthy family, who were willing to give money to ordinary people like them, and they were happy to spend it.
In the end, it will all be used to contribute to Duzhou.
Some people carefully examined the snow god statue, and perhaps because Xia Li's image was so deeply ingrained in people's minds, many people suddenly felt that the statue was not realistic enough.
"Such a large piece of jade must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"Why does this statue seem a bit off?"
"The statue seems to lack a certain spirituality..."
"Could it be that we haven't repaired it for many years?"
"That's it! Let's all pool our money to repair the statues at the Snow God Temple."
"If we cultivate according to the image of the Holy Maiden, we will surely be able to produce divine essence!"
Seeing that everyone else had taken action, Xia Li had no choice but to find someone overnight to carve a new statue in his own likeness.
Later, when everyone came to the Little Snow God Temple to worship, they saw the new appearance and nodded repeatedly, saying that it should indeed look like this. So they immediately went back and re-carved the blurry statue of the Snow God Temple according to this model.
But Xia Li is now too afraid to go out.
Every day, every hour, and in every corner, there are countless fanatical fans. Now she understands the pain of being a celebrity.
