Thick trees were piled together to form an altar that was several feet tall. Under the illumination of the surrounding bonfires, it looked eerie and eerie. Beneath the high altar were commoners in white robes. Thousands of people, regardless of gender, age, and age, worshiped piously. They chanted, but it was impossible to hear what they were saying.
"Queen Asha!" An old voice shouted. The voices of the people were stopped. Only the deep and long sound of the horn was like a call to God, which lasted for a long time.
Four muscular men dressed in animal skin carried a woman in a red dress through the crowd and respectfully brought her to the altar.
"Put her down!" The white-haired old man holding the divine staff walked forward and ordered. A long necklace made of beast bones hung on his chest. It glowed red under the bonfire. It was a sacred worship ceremony. It did not have the majesty of a god, but it made people feel that it was abnormally evil.
The woman was put down and stood in front of the old man. She was like a passionate rose that bloomed alone. She looked at the old man fearlessly." Use the name of God to get rid of all those who will hinder you. In the end, you will not be able to escape the fate of being cursed. What awaits you is eternal hell.”
"Haha, Asha, I'm not the one who wants to offer you to God. It's your people. In order to live a prosperous and worry-free life, they betrayed you and devoutly offered you to the omnipotent God.”
The old man smiled sinisterly and faced the prostrating commoners. He raised the divine staff in his hand and said in an old and dignified voice,"The omnipotent God is watching us. He will bring us a rich and carefree life. He will make all brave men strong, all gentle women beautiful, all obedient children healthy, and all kind old people live a long life. How will you thank the gods for their gifts?”
"Give Asha to the great God! Give Asha to the great God!"
"Did you hear that? This is the cry of your subjects. As the queen, I will give you a chance to die with dignity.”
The woman's red dress fluttered in the wind. A long red veil covered her face, revealing only a pair of bright and spirited eyes. She looked around at the prostrating commoners and looked at her people with reluctance. What kind of life awaited these bewitched commoners? The evil leader would not give them a stable life. It would be a never-ending war. The so-called high priest of God would only treat these people as his slaves to fight in all directions. They would become the best weapon to satisfy his extremely inflated vanity. In order to gain more power, they had to conquer more land.
"Give me the dagger you prepared! I heard that you specially forged the best dagger for this sacrifice.”
The old man waved his arm, and someone presented a dagger wrapped in red silk.
"This is the Bloodthirsty Short Sword forged by the world's best swordsmith, Wantless. He actually wants to offer you to the God. Of course, everything should be perfect! Even if you were to be offered to the gods, you should be the best.”
The woman took the dagger and mocked,"Bloodthirsty Short Sword!" The murderous aura of this name was too strong. The high priest's worship of blood was really thorough!”
The old man smiled but did not say anything. There was only cold killing intent in his eyes.”
The woman raised the dagger above her head and said loudly to the people,"As your queen, I, Asha, am willing to die for your happiness, but can my death be exchanged for everything you want? When I was ten years old, I became your queen and led the people to move to the prosperous grassland. When I was thirteen, I led the army to fight and recaptured Ni Bo. I gained two more tribes so that all the clansmen could eat and wear warm clothes. Do you really wish to offer me to the gods today? Is this really what my people want?”The novel network didn't jump.
The high priest held his staff tightly in displeasure. He looked at the people who were hesitating and hit the ground with his staff.
"The time has come. Sing a divine song and invite our noblest queen to the divine platform to wait for God's blessing!”
The people below the stage fell silent, and the saintesses of the high priest began to sing a beautiful song to invite the gods.
"O great God, please take care of our beautiful plains. We will give you the most beautiful girl in the prairie, and let her be your most beloved wife, always by your side…"
"Please, noble queen. Your loyal warriors have already submitted to me. I won't send anyone to save you. All of your people will forever praise you. It was you who willingly became God's wife that brought them a good life.”
The woman did not speak anymore. She raised her head and raised the dagger wrapped in red silk. She walked up the altar step by step. She stood on the altar, her red dress fluttering in the wind as she looked at all her people with pity.
"I swear in the name of the queen of the Bukel clan that I am willing to sacrifice everything to become a servant of God, to worship him forever, and to love him. However, if the people of the Bukker tribe don't live a rich and carefree life, I will forever attach myself to this dagger and give it the power to defeat everything. Let those sinners who hurt the Bukel tribe pay a heavy price, and use their blood to repay the debt they owed!”
The high priest's eyes were red as he ran up to the altar and shouted,""I will seal this dagger and trap you in it forever.”
The woman chuckled." All seals will be opened one day. As long as someone can open your seal, my curse will come true. One day, no matter how many reincarnations you go through, you and the traitors you lead will die in my hands. The moment the seal opens, it will be the day my revenge begins!”
"You vicious woman, vicious woman…"
The woman looked at the high priest, who was so frightened that his face was pale. She took off the red veil on her face and sneered. She removed the red silk from the dagger and revealed the bloodthirsty short sword. She picked it up and stabbed it into her chest without hesitation. The bright red blood became the source of power for the bloodthirsty short sword. The invisible curse gave it magical power.
The moment the dagger stabbed into the woman's chest, Li Yi's heart seemed to have been pierced as well. He could not help but tremble in pain. He quickly covered his chest and saw the woman turn around to look at him. He could not help but break out in a cold sweat. She had a face that looked exactly like his.
"Ah!" She was jolted awake from her dream. She sat up and panted heavily.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Li Yi panted and looked around in a panic. This was her room in the residence of Taihe Prefecture. There was no altar, no prostrating commoners, and no sinister high priest. Only Ouyang Bo sat by the bed and looked at him. He did not know how long it had been since he had a good sleep. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted.
"Why am I here? Who saved us? How long have I been asleep?”
Ouyang Bo quickly got up and took a bowl of steaming soup from the table. He carefully scooped it up with a spoon and gently blew on it." Drink the medicine. You'll get better faster."”
He gently fed Li Yi the soup. He held the bowl of medicine and sat unnaturally by the bed. He asked hesitantly,"Did you mean what you said that day?”The novel network didn't jump.
Li Yi could not see his expression, but he could hear that he was very serious. He did not answer his question and asked this for no reason. What did he say? Her brain was a mess. She could not remember what she had said to make him care so much.
"What is it? What did I say?"
Ouyang Bo paused and said in a hurt tone,""You said…you never liked me…is that true?”The novel network didn't jump.
Li Yi looked at his tense back. His casual words had actually hurt his heart. For those who didn't care much about relationships, they would have abandoned him and fled for their lives without him saying anything harsh. However, he foolishly believed it and was actually willing to accompany her to her death. What a stupid one-track mind. Wasn't it precisely because of his one-track mind and his sincerity in love that she was moved? From the future where human relationships were so thin, people were busy with their lives and had long forgotten to care for each other sincerely. There was never enough work to be done, and there was never enough overtime to be done. This caused too many people to live in a mechanized life that was constantly running. Everything was happening at a fast pace. Even dating and marriage were done in a flash. There were too many calculations, talking about academic qualifications, conditions, family, and future. However, there were very few people who talked about their feelings.
She was not used to meeting a man who only knew how to talk and talk about feelings. She felt that there was something wrong with this man. Actually, men like this were the easiest to coax. What he needed was very simple. As long as the other party loved him, he would give everything and tolerate everything about her.
This kind of thinking made Li Yi feel that he was a scammer who deceived others 'feelings. It was a little despicable. However, she liked this Ouyang Bo. She liked the relaxed feeling when she was with him. She could act shamelessly in front of him because she knew how much he loved her. She could not hide her true self.
"I did say that before."
Ouyang Bo held the bowl and nervously waited for her next answer.
"I told you to let go. Why don't you let go?"
"Even if you don't like me, I won't abandon you.”
Li Yi held back his laughter and teased him.”
Ouyang Bo stood up and said awkwardly,""You should rest. I'm leaving first!"
"You still haven't told me who saved us? How long have I been asleep?"
"Sun Zhiyang, you've been unconscious for three days.”
Sun Zhiyang? Shouldn't he be in Taihe Prefecture? Wasn't he supposed to rush back to the capital the next day? Why did he appear there and save his and Ouyang Bo's lives? Then he should know that he had used him to take back Pingjin. He also knew that he was going to escape with Ouyang Bo. Why did he save her? And he didn't make things difficult for Ouyang Bo, who had escaped with him? What was he trying to do? What were they thinking?
"Did Sun Zhiyang say anything after saving us? He didn't do anything?" The novel network didn't jump.
" He didn't say anything. He sent us back and left." Yesterday, Ma Zhiyao, Lord Ma, came to visit you. I originally wanted to go to Sun Zhiyang's house to thank him for saving my life, but unfortunately, he had already returned to the capital.”
