The entire process was smooth and efficient, without any delays whatsoever.

Xia Gu no longer feels any pain from the wound on her waist.

"I'm sorry, Xiaxia, I failed to protect you." Xuelan hugged Xiagu tightly, her guilt evident in her eyes.

Xia Gu didn't blame him at all. Faced with this overwhelming guilt, she really didn't know how to comfort him.

"Alright, I'm perfectly fine now. And you know my abilities, how could I be hurt too badly by such a lowly orc? It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xia Gu stroked Xue Lan's fluffy tail to comfort her.

"Sister at the entrance of Building 10, you must not break through. You must stay here and take good care of your pregnancy. Although the avalanche is serious, I will come back to stay by your side every now and then."

Xue Lan no longer wanted to leave Xia Gu; he always felt that there was too much danger around Xia Gu.

We also need to call two more orcs to guard the entrance of Building 10, otherwise Xiaxia will always be in danger.

Before long, he had the imperial physician bring him many precious medicinal herbs and nourishing lean meat.

For two consecutive days, Xia Gu did not leave the stone cave. She was pampered by Xue Lan and didn't even touch the ground during those two days.

Xia Gu felt that if Xue Lan continued to pamper her, she would definitely turn into a big fat mushroom.

It wasn't until Xia Gu faced the prohibition that Xue Lan allowed Xia Gu to get out of bed and properly exercise.

The avalanche has been completely dealt with. Both the mountain tribe and the gem tribe have built stone walls and used effective methods to prevent avalanches.

As for the injured orcs, they were all treated one by one, and soon they were all back to normal.

The crisis was finally resolved, and Xue Lan, as the clan leader, breathed a sigh of relief.

A period of easy and happy days gradually came to an end, and just then, Xue Ting came to Xia Gu and Xue Lan's stone cave again.

"Chieftain, Goddess, according to the customs of the mountain tribe, the Goddess needs to pray for the tribe every year, and this year's time is almost up."

Xueting had carefully planned it out; the next two days would be the perfect time to pray for the mountain tribes with the goddess.

Now, Xue Ting's actions have a high priestly feel to them, which has become an open secret.

Xueting made very thorough preparations for this prayer ceremony.

If this prayer goes well, you will naturally reap more spiritual medicines and all kinds of energy next year.

Xia Gu listened to Xue Ting's words with a sense of confusion. She had only just become the goddess of the high mountain tribe and knew nothing about the matter of praying for blessings.

She immediately looked at Xue Lan with pleading eyes, and he instantly understood.

"I will arrange this matter. You and Xuexin go and prepare the things needed for the prayer. Nothing can be missing."

After Xue Xin left, Xia Gu sheepishly walked over to Xue Lan and threw herself into his arms.

At this moment, Xia Gu touched her belly and muttered to herself.

"I know that praying for blessings is very important to your mountain tribes, but how exactly should I do it?"

Since she has become the goddess of the High Mountain Tribe, and her beast husband is the chief of the High Mountain Tribe.

Xia Gu would never back down; she could only pray according to the local customs.

After careful consideration, Xue Lan finally found a good method.

“I know a little about praying for blessings, but not much. However, I can ask the abbot of the mountain tribe to come and teach you about praying for blessings.”

“The abbot of Gaoshan participates in the Goddess’s Blessing every year. As long as he guides you, you will definitely be able to do this well. Xiaxia, you don’t need to worry.”

Seeing Xue Lan's determined gaze, Xia Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least she could still learn how to pray for blessings.

Although the date is approaching, at least she has time to study and won't be completely clueless in front of everyone.

"That's good. I don't have much time left now. You should quickly ask the abbot to come out of the mountain and teach me properly. That way, I will definitely not let you down."

Xia Gu blinked her big eyes, a gesture that made Xue Lan feel like her heart was melting.

"Xiaxia, no matter what you do, I don't feel ashamed. I will only be proud of your actions."

This is not a lie; this is what he truly meant.

Over the next few days, Xia Gu diligently sought guidance from the abbot on the procedures for praying for blessings.

Time passed slowly, and finally the day for prayer arrived.

Xia Gu put on the red gauze robe that Qi Fu Te used, and she stood at the heart of the mountain tribe.

Looking at the shaman-like decorations and the offering of animal meat, Xia Gu gripped her ritual implements tightly and began chanting prayers.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia Gu gracefully began to dance a blessing dance, displaying her dance skills in front of everyone.

Every step and every gesture was performed with perfect precision, surpassing even the provincial standards of previous years.

Everyone looked at Xia Gu with admiration, and they all knelt down, chanting the same blessing incantation as Xia Gu.

"May the goddess bless our mountain tribe and grant us a better harvest next year!"

"..."

Everyone was repeating prayers.

After finishing the entire blessing dance, Xia Gu finally caught her breath and relaxed.

Xia Gu performed flawlessly throughout the entire process; in fact, she was exceptionally good at it.

Xue Ting then walked to the center and placed the magical artifact in Xia Gu's hand into the incense burner.

"Tomorrow, please ask the goddess to continue offering incense and reciting prayers. Once these are done, the prayer ceremony will be completely over."

He spoke these words to Xia Gu in a slow and deliberate manner, and Xia Gu simply nodded.

As for these procedures, she had already learned about them from the abbot and was naturally prepared.

Because of Xia Gu's identity as a goddess, she could only stay in the temple at night. However, the temple had prepared all her food, clothing, and other necessities, so that Xia Gu would not suffer any mistreatment.

As evening fell, while Xia Gu was wholeheartedly praying, Xue Lan walked directly in from outside the temple and draped a warm animal skin over Xia Gu.

"Why are you here?" Xia Gu wasn't sure if this was in accordance with the rules, but Xue Lan's appearance did surprise her.

“Praying is tiring enough, and I was worried that your body couldn’t handle it, so I came here to take care of you.”

After saying that, Xue Lan's face lit up with a happy smile, and she let Xia Gu snuggle in her arms.

Anyway, no matter how much you pray for blessings, it has already taken effect in this lifetime, so there will naturally be no shortage of harvest next year.
