There were many people praying outside; hence, it was very crowded. The people continuously kowtowed while facing the statue in the temple as they repeatedly asked for blessings. Some were praying to get pregnant, some were praying for wealth, some were praying for love. Everyone wanted something.
The scene was nothing unusual to Gu Xijiu because she had seen it multiple times in the current and modern era. She was curious who they were praying too and her gaze finally fell on the beautiful and fine fairy statue!
She had seen many statues of different immortals. Some were ferocious, some looked very kind and gentle, some looked very handsome… However, she has never seen such a beautiful and realistic statue!
To her surprise, it was a statue of herself! It was of the finest quality and perhaps looked better than the real person. Gu Xijiu never imagined someone would make a statue of her and that people would worship and pray to her as if she was a fairy.
