Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

Since the day the enemy besieged the city and Wen Nuan appeared, the entire Northern Abyss... no, it should be said that the entire continent was shocked.

At first, some of them thought the sounds they heard that day were their imagination.

But when they confirmed with those around them, they learned that everyone had heard it.

The news of the appearance of a deity in the Northern Abyss spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the continent.

People were discussing the miraculous deeds of this guardian deity of the Northern Abyss during their leisure time, and her image was portrayed as increasingly mysterious and great.

When the royal families and nobles of various countries heard about this, they were all shocked. After confirming the news through their spies, they found that it was true.

They had to start re-evaluating their relationship with Beiyuan. Some forces that had been eager to make moves temporarily suppressed their ambitions and dared not do anything untoward to Beiyuan again.

But the most shocked were the people of Beiyuan, especially those who were in the capital that day.

After all, hearing about it is never as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.

Chu Lingyao was able to board the plane smoothly, and those who had previously opposed her were now speechless.

They even felt that it was a blessing for their Northern Abyss that the Empress was favored and protected by the gods, and they treated Chu Lingyao with utmost respect.

As for the restaurant, Chu Ze's guess was indeed correct.

People flock to the place from morning till night, and the doorstep is practically worn out.

Among these people, some were using the pretext of eating to actually catch a glimpse of the deity.

Especially for those who had previously encountered warmth, the thought that they had actually met a deity made them walk with a sense of pride.

He would vividly recount to everyone he met how many times he had spoken with the gods and how he had even eaten dishes served by the gods themselves.

A customer who had spoken a few words with Wen Nuan at the restaurant would gesticulate excitedly every time he recounted the story.

"Back then, I felt that this girl had an extraordinary temperament, but I never expected that she was actually the god who protects the Northern Abyss! The way she looked at me was so gentle, as if she could see right through my heart."

Those around listened with rapt attention, their respect for warmth growing even stronger.

There was also a rich young man who claimed that Wen Nuan had served him food, and he described the experience in a very fantastical way.

"When she approached me with the plate, I felt a warm, comforting aura wash over me—an auspicious energy that only gods could possess!"

The miraculous effects of restaurant food have been recognized as true "divine cuisine," so it's not surprising that it has such miraculous effects.

These stories spread by word of mouth among the people, and the restaurant's reputation grew, making its business incredibly booming.

It attracted not only people from all over Beiyuan, but also nobles and wealthy merchants from other countries who rushed over at top speed.

They brought precious gifts, hoping to encounter the gods in the restaurant, even if only for a fleeting glimpse.

Because of this, even after three days of warmth and recovery, they dared not go out and only dared to hide in the courtyard behind the restaurant.

During this time, court officials repeatedly approached Chu Ze, hoping to learn more about Wen Nuan from him.

But Chu Ze brushed them off.

"No wonder you said before that you wouldn't stay any longer."

"So, it turns out that the one who saved you back then was a deity."

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I wonder if we have been negligent towards the deity before."

Some ministers surrounded Chu Ze, each taking turns talking.

In just a few days, these people had pieced together a complete story of Chu Ze's previous misfortune, his unexpected rescue by a god, and his subsequent role as a messenger of the god.

If Chu Ze hadn't been the one involved, he would have believed the story too.

Some ministers patted Chu Ze on the arm, telling him to serve the deity well.

Even though the deity had several formidable rivals around him, they still believed that their former emperor was the most powerful!

Their imaginations were so wild that Chu Ze couldn't help but applaud them.

Chu Lingyao wanted to express her gratitude to Wen Nuan and also wanted to take advantage of this trend to further enhance Bei Yuan's prestige.

He ordered the construction of a magnificent temple in each of the cities of Beiyuan to enshrine a warm statue of the god.

The craftsmen worked day and night to sculpt the warm image so lifelike that her flowing hair and holy halo perfectly showcased her ethereal beauty.

On the day the temple in the capital was completed, a grand ceremony was also held.

The entire Beiyuan was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and people flocked to the streets to pray for blessings at the temple.

Chu Lingyao personally led the civil and military officials in a solemn sacrificial ceremony in front of the temple to thank the guardian deity for his protection.

At the grand ceremony, Chu Lingyao wore a magnificent and solemn sacrificial robe, her expression devout.

Holding the incense symbolizing the highest respect from Beiyuan, she slowly inserted it into the incense burner. Wisps of smoke rose up, as if carrying the gratitude and prayers of the people of Beiyuan for warmth, drifting towards the sky.

The people knelt down, chanting incantations.

They are grateful for the warmth that saved Beiyuan from danger, and pray that she will continue to bless this land with favorable weather and peace.

The entire capital was immersed in a solemn yet enthusiastic atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Wen Nuan, hiding in the backyard of the restaurant, was sitting idly on a stone bench, holding a small flower in her hand.

When Xuanxiao walked in with his hands behind his back, he saw his little apprentice pouting, looking miserable, surrounded by small flowers and grasses that she had "damaged".

"If you keep going like this, you'll pluck this yard bare."

Xuanxiao sat down leisurely, looked at Wen Nuan and shook his head helplessly.

Wen Nuan raised her head and looked at him pitifully, "Master, I feel like I'm going to suffocate. I can only hide in this backyard every day, I'm almost getting moldy."

Xuanxiao pursed his lips, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes, but he pretended to be serious and said, "Who told you to make such a high-profile move back then? Now you're being fawned over by everyone. You brought this on yourself."

Wen Nuan muttered, "I was just anxious. I couldn't just stand by and watch Bei Yuan fall into danger and Ling Yao get hurt."

Xuanxiao nodded slightly, his expression softening. "I understand that you are kind-hearted, but that's just how things are in this world. You have displayed extraordinary power, so it's natural that it will cause such a sensation."

Wen Nuan sighed, about to say something, when suddenly a burst of small lights appeared around her, startling her. "What's that?"

She jumped up to try to dodge, but the tiny points of light relentlessly pursued her, surging towards the warmth and merging into her body.

Warmth felt a strange and gentle power flowing through her body, as if countless tiny warm currents were converging, making her feel comfortable all over.

The familiar scene startled Xuanxiao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before he suddenly realized what was happening.

"This is the power of faith. The people of Beiyuan are grateful to you. Their devout prayers during the festival have coalesced into this power."

Warmth felt the growing power within her body, and she felt somewhat at a loss.

The last time this happened, Wen Nuan was still asleep, so she didn't know much about it.

This was the first time she had encountered something so bizarre and magical while fully conscious.
