"You've just paid tribute to me, and you're already asking who I am?" The voice had a hint of amusement.
Liu Anchang turned his head in astonishment and saw a woman standing in front of the statue, looking just like the one carved in the temple.
"Goddess?" Liu Anchang blurted out, "You're truly beautiful!"
"Impertinent," the Goddess chided, yet there was no anger on her face. On the contrary, there was a slight smile between her brows. Clearly, Liu Anchang's sincere compliment pleased her.
Liu Anchang naturally noticed that the Goddess wasn't truly angry.
He bowed respectfully and said with a polite smile, "I apologize for offending the Goddess; it was presumptuous of me. But those were my heartfelt words, without a trace of falsehood."
