The day after she made her promise to Yi Shuihan, when she met with Yelü Sui, he asked her, "What is your greatest wish?"

Xiao Qingyin took the opportunity to say, "I have heard that the temple houses the largest statue of our Xilin, and I have always wanted to pay my respects to it. Unfortunately, the temple is not open to the public, and I am afraid that I will never be able to fulfill my wish in this lifetime."

"That's not necessarily true."

Yelü Sui doted on the matter.

"I will be going to the temple tonight. If you would like to go, I will have someone take you there."

Xiao Qingyin was flattered: "Is this really okay? Won't it be against the rules?"

Yelü Sui chuckled: "As far as I am concerned, there are no rules."

Xiao Qingyin then agreed: "Thank you, Your Highness, I would like to go!"

"Okay, you can wait in the room tonight."

Xiao Qingyin did as instructed.

After the lights in Chuxiu Palace were turned off, two men in black knocked on the window looking for her. They picked her up from either side and used their light-footed skills to bring her to the front of the temple.

The sun had long since set, and the sky was a deep blue.

The black temple stood beneath the deep blue sky, appearing even more enormous, silent, and sinister.

The gate was tightly shut, and two ferocious beasts with bared fangs were carved on the black door panel.

This is the totem of the Western Forest Kingdom; Xiao Qingyin had seen it on a flag.

Yelü Sui stood at the door and waved to her when she arrived.

Xiao Qingyin immediately stepped forward.

"Are you happy? Your wish is about to come true."

Yelü Sui asked.

His eyes looked somewhat eerie in the firelight.

Xiao Qingyin noticed that his eyes were slightly red.

My heart tightened instantly.

She pretended not to have noticed anything and laughed, "Of course I'm happy! My heart is pounding with excitement!"

Yelü Sui pushed open the temple door and said meaningfully, "You'd better not be afraid later."

Xiao Qingyin looked completely bewildered.

Yelü Sui offered no explanation and led her inside.

After entering, there was a long corridor with paintings on both sides. Xiao Qingyin glanced at them quickly and thought they were probably depicting the history of the Xilin Kingdom.

At the end of the corridor, the space suddenly opens up, revealing a towering wooden statue of a deity.

The statue is carved from a single piece of wood, which is probably over a thousand years old and requires eight or nine people to encircle it.

However, this statue does not appear to possess any divinity; instead, it is filled with an aura of slaughter.

The statue's eyes are crimson, its hair stands on end in anger, and it holds a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, as if it were about to cleave a person in two or pierce them through at any moment.

He's a complete killing god.

Xiao Qingyin silently complained.

Yelü Sui, seeing her staring intently, asked, "Are you afraid?"

Xiao Qingyin replied, "I was a little scared at first, but when I thought that this was a god who protects our Xilin Kingdom, I wasn't afraid anymore."

A hint of emotion flickered across Yelü Sui's face.

“You’re the first person to say that,” he said wistfully. “When other people see this statue, they either tremble with fear or are filled with disgust.”

"Perhaps they are not sincere."

Xiao Qingyin had an innocent look on her face.

“My father told me that no matter what God looks like, we should respect and love God.”

Yelü Sui's eyes flickered slightly: "Your father is a man of great wisdom."

Xiao Qingyin said proudly, "I think so too."

After gazing up at the statue for a while longer, she asked in confusion, "Why can't I see Serju?"

"Seju?"

"The seraphim that the tribe found were all collected by the shaman. I thought they were for the idols to wear."

Yelü Sui shook his head: "No, Sezhu is with the shaman."

"I see..."

Xiao Qingyin's face immediately showed disappointment.

Yelü Sui teased, "Do you want to see the idol or Sezhu?"

Xiao Qingyin said earnestly, "I want to see them all."

Yelü Sui laughed loudly: "What a greedy girl! But if you can save me again tonight, I can let you see Sezhu next time."

"Save you one more time?"

A hint of panic flashed across Xiao Qingyin's eyes.

"Does Your Highness intend to..."

"That's right, just as you thought, I'm about to go berserk and turn into a beast again."

Yelü Sui calmly replied.

Xiao Qingyin had anticipated this scene from the bloodshot look in his eyes when she saw him at the temple entrance.

However, she clutched the hem of her clothes, pretending to be at a loss.

“Don’t be afraid,” Yelü Sui comforted her. “Didn’t you say that if you were in that situation again, you would remember that set of boxing techniques? Just do whatever you want later.”

"……OK."

Xiao Qingyin weakly agreed.

Yelü Sui led her into a room on the right side of the corridor. Soon after closing the door, he lost his mind and attacked Xiao Qingyin.

Xiao Qingyin first hid and screamed, until she was forced into a corner and had no choice but to face Yelü Sui head-on. Only then did she punch him hard.

After Yelü Sui was beaten unconscious, she sat on the ground, staring blankly at the motionless Yelü Sui.

About fifteen minutes later, she seemed to wake up from a dream and cried out in a panic, "Help! His Highness has fainted!"

No one responded.

She wanted to pretend to shake Yelü Sui, but just as her hand was about to touch him, she remembered what she had promised Yi Shuihan.

Oh no, I broke my vow right after making it.

Indeed, oaths are meant to be broken.

If that guy finds out, he'll definitely be incredibly jealous.

Thinking of this, she withdrew her hand.

He wore an expression that showed both a desire for help and fear.

He sat there until Yelü Sui woke up, then cautiously asked, "Your Highness, have you recovered?"

Yelü Sui propped himself up and sat up, feeling pain in his internal organs, as if he had been severely beaten.

He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Qingyin's hands, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

These hands don't look very strong, so how did they manage to break his bones so badly?

Xiao Qingyin withdrew her hand, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, you were the one who ordered this..."

Yelü Sui came to his senses and praised, "You did a great job; you have saved my life once again."

Previously, when he went berserk, he was calmed down by the shaman's flute music, which prevented him from going on a killing spree.

Even so, he would only regain his senses after seeing blood.

This Ah Man was able to knock him unconscious with his fists and then wake him up.

This is undoubtedly good news for him.

His madness only began after he was redeemed from Xiguo.

The first attack lasted only fifteen minutes.

After that, the duration of each attack became longer and longer.

The shaman said that if he couldn't find a solution, he would eventually lose his mind completely and become a wild beast.

Proud as he was, how could he accept this outcome?

In the past two years, he has been enthusiastic about matters of the divine, hoping to find solutions from them.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it.

Ah Man's appearance was like an antidote, giving him hope for life.

With her around, he no longer has to worry about losing control of himself.

Thinking of this, he said emotionally, "Aman, you are my moon. Only you can turn me from a beast back into a human. You wait, I will definitely ask my father for permission to make you my concubine."
