Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage Chapter 1354: Saint Demon's Lie

Chapter 1354: Saint Demon's Lie
After experiencing disappointment time and time again, Shaya Longnis had to accept a fact beyond her control.
These self-important and secretive puppet makers, including the four legendary puppet makers who had long disappeared from the world, were all talk and no action.
In the dream, the prince born to the White Moon that married the Queen of Assyria was supposed to have a body made by the puppet makers, but they couldn't even create a decent thigh.
What a failure.
What a sense of powerlessness.
Even if they say the materials they used are much more expensive than listed, it doesn't matter. If it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. In Shaya Longnis's eyes, the combined value of their offerings couldn't even buy one leg of their daughter.
Unable to meet the standards, Shaya Longnis reluctantly accepted the explanations of the puppet makers in the end.
To create the perfect puppet body for White Moon, better materials are needed.
When it comes to Moonlight branches, the older, the better.
For all types of gemstones, the higher the quality, the better.
In short, there's no limit to expense, only higher levels of expense, everything must be of the best quality.
Shaya Longnis also thought this perspective had some merit.
To craft the best body for her daughter, using the finest materials to create a flawless physique is essential.
Fortunately, according to her intelligence, the warehouse in the Eastern God's Domainthe Sky Tower had many suitable materials for puppet-making, including the main material Moonlight branches, supposedly gifts offered by fairies to the Queen Mother of the West.
Even she found it almost impossible to sneak into the Fairy King's Court, where the Mythical Fairy resided.
The Endless God's Domain had very strict security, and there was no place for creatures like slimes, making it one of the most heavily guarded forbidden areas.
On the other hand, the warehouse of the Sky Tower was different.
Being the Sky Sword of the Sky Sword God's Domain, she had special privileges in the Sky Tower guarded by Lilibet.
Taking advantage of her identity as the Sky Sword, she sneaked into the warehouse area of the Sky Tower while Lilibet wasn't paying attention and stole about half of the offerings to the Queen Mother of the West, especially the precious materials used to make high-quality puppets, which were almost completely wiped out.
She also stole some materials that she thought might be useful and then escaped.
Everything was going smoothly until Lilibet discovered something suspicious and aggressively pursued her, determined not to let her escape.
It was a dreadful time for her, as powerful as the Child of God of the slime race with the ability to constantly regenerate, she was being relentlessly hunted down by Lilibet.
If she had been any other Sky Sword, her true form would have collapsed and she would have entered a dormant state early without spending thousands of years to return.
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😝)
Lilibet's special sword can judge evil actions, so when Shaya Longnis stole half of the Queen of the West's gift, she was definitely considered "guilty".
Even though Shaya Longnis left behind World Tree Leaves in the warehouse worth almost the same value, showing she didn't take without permission.
"So... I did actually pay for it, Queen of the West probably won't mind too much." After explaining why she stole from the Sky Tower warehouse, Shaya Longnis looked upset.
The Lord of Kunlun God's Domain didn't really care about this matter, why are you so upset, Lilibet, chasing after her to the ends of the earth, even unable to stop her pursuit at the Red Heart Queen's ball.
The Fairy Clan's gift to the Queen of the West is meant for exchanging certain special resources from Kunlun God's Domain.
The Queen of the West didn't pay much attention to these gifts, keeping them in the Sky Tower warehouse, which implies these gifts aren't that valuable to Kunlun God's Domain either.
At least, they couldn't compare to the desperate love of Shaya Longnis.
"Hmm... I understand..."
"Striving for something important... in a very admirable way." Saint Demon expressed understanding towards Shaya Longnis's actions.
For some people, certain things are just decorative gifts, but for those who need them, they may be more important than life itself.
In this world, inequality is mostly like that.
The goals you strive for throughout your life are just starting points set at birth for many people.
Even someone like Shaya Longnis, who is the Sky Sword, worked very hard to help her beloved daughter gain a body.
At this time, pursuing Shaya Longnis relentlessly like Lilibet, who was duty-bound to do so, seemed somewhat harsh.
Of course, it's not to say that she was wrong; it's just that both sides have different perspectives, leading to different conclusions.
"I stand by your side. Is there anything you need help with?" Saint Demon cleverly approached Shaya Longnis step by step.
Capitalizing on the soft and easily influenced parts of human nature, making oneself indispensable to someone is what Saint Demon and her group excel at.
Different from the Enchantresses, who use their relationships to influence others for their own gain, gaining leverage in crucial situations.
Saint Demon is the opposite. She uses relationships to help others sincerely and genuinely. It shows in her actions that she truly means it.
Saint Demon doesn't need others to do things for her or benefit from them. She cares about what place she holds in their hearts.
When Saint Demon passes away, it will cause a big stir in the river of fate, leaving a deep mark on the hearts of those she influenced.
Sometimes, these emotional marks hurt more than physical wounds and cannot be healed.
Even if someone later shows ten or a hundred times more tenderness and love than Saint Demon did, they can't replace the spot Saint Demon holds in their heart.
Because no one can defeat the deceased.
Sacrifices made in youth, with a bright future ahead, are often forgiven, despite past mistakes and flaws.
People forget the bad about her and only remember her sacrifice and brilliance, even elevating her virtues to a saintly level.
The dead cannot speak, nor do they have any need for disputes or conflicts. Even those who were enemies with Saint Demon would not say anything negative about someone who has passed away.
In a way, the Saint Demon who sacrificed herself is considered a better Saint Demon than the one who is alive, as her sacrifice has a greater impact.
Keeping their virtues till the end of their lives is the path chosen by the Saint Demons.
If someone holds onto a lie their whole life and sacrifices themselves based on that lie, then no one will doubt it's a lie.
Great Saint Demons are all serious deceivers until the end.
