By a Deity's Side Manhua

Xiao Bai felt a surge of determination as she gazed into Jiāoyù's wise eyes. With each passing day, she embraced the challenges that came her way, drawing strength from the deity's presence by her side. Together, they faced bullies, overcame obstacles, and celebrated victories big and small. One fateful day, a ferocious storm descended upon the village, threatening to destroy everything in its path. Xiao Bai knew she had to do something to help her neighbors, but fear gripped her heart like never before. Jiāoyù nuzzled her hand, a silent reassurance that she was not alone. With a deep breath, Xiao Bai stepped out into the raging tempest, her fear melting away in the face of the deity's unwavering faith in her. She rallied the villagers, organizing them to secure homes, protect livestock, and provide shelter for those in need. As they worked side by side, Xiao Bai felt a newfound sense of purpose and courage coursing through her veins. The storm eventually passed, leaving the village shaken but standing strong, thanks to Xiao Bai's leadership and Jiāoyù's guidance. In the aftermath, the villagers gathered to express their gratitude, their eyes shining with admiration for the once timid girl who had become their beacon of hope. Xiao Bai smiled, her heart full of pride and gratitude for the deity who had believed in her when she could not believe in herself. Though Jiāoyù eventually had to depart, Xiao Bai knew that their bond would never be broken. She had found the courage she sought, not in the deity's magic, but in the belief that she was capable of greatness, with or without a divine companion by her side. And as she looked up at the sky, Xiao Bai knew that her journey was far from over, but she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, armed with the courage that now burned bright within her.
