These priests had never seen their beast god so gently coax a female.
Suddenly, I felt like the world had turned upside down.
Si Yan stared at the beast god in front of her and said sarcastically, "Did you take a special bath? And wear a new outfit?"
Beast God Longze chuckled awkwardly and muttered under his breath, "I knew you were a sucker for good looks, so I spent a long time combing my long hair... otherwise how could I coax you?"
"What?"
Long Ze laughed heartily. "Today's occasion is quite important, so it's not unreasonable to be a bit more elaborate."
Si Yan sized him up for a while, but she wasn't actually that angry.
The old gecko stood out so much along the way. Apart from not directly telling her that he was the Beast God, it was practically the same as not hiding anything from her.
She didn't connect him with the Beast God.
I should have guessed it long ago.
Now that I know, although I was initially angry at being deceived, I feel pretty good after calming down.
Being able to be friends with God is such a novel thing.
However, the beast god in front of her was too dazzling and too handsome, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She still preferred the down-to-earth gecko that had always been by her side.
What followed was best left unsaid, so Si Yan transmitted her voice: "Are the dragon bones on Panlong Mountain behind the former Silver Wolf tribe your remains? Is your current body your own? Old Gecko, how is your strength recovering?"
Si Yan's comment about "old gecko" made Long Ze feel a sense of familiarity.
He chuckled as he transmitted his voice. “Bai Feng helped me dig out the bones from Panlong Mountain. This body was reconstructed using my own bones and some scattered bits of flesh. My strength has recovered considerably, so you don’t need to worry.”
That's a lie.
Si Yan narrowed her eyes.
The old gecko's body does look quite handsome, but its skin is an unnaturally white.
He looked very weak.
It's obvious that they're just putting on a brave face.
Si Yan didn't want to see him pretending to be strong anymore. She said, "I'm going to slap him in the face and vent my anger. How long can you hold on? If you can't hold on, then turn back into a gecko."
I knew I couldn't hide it from her.
Long Ze blinked. "Vent your anger, Grandpa's the best at that. Want Grandpa to help you?"
Si Yan turned around and said, "No need. You can just watch."
At Si Yan's command, Jin Yao was once again brought to the altar.
This time, Jin Yao was different from before. As soon as she stepped onto the altar, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Si Yan.
She looked utterly pitiful.
"Si Yan, I beg you, please let me go."
I am different from you. You have the Beast God as your backer, while I am just an ordinary, powerless earth dragon beastman.
Are you really that heartless? You should know I really didn't mean to take your things.
She knelt on the ground, crying as she spoke.
She certainly didn't kowtow to Si Yan willingly, but now, it was her only way out.
Han Shuang was heartbroken to see this: "Jin Yao, stop shipping her. Si Yan!! No matter what, Jin Yao is my adopted daughter, your sister. Can you really be so heartless as to watch her like this?"
Si Yan remained expressionless, as if the events before her had nothing to do with her.
Jin Yao knelt and moved forward two steps, saying, "Si Yan, sister! You were the one the priests found this year. To be honest, I was very happy when I learned of your existence."
Jin Yao looked even more pitiful, as if Si Yan was bullying her.
Si Yan's eyelids twitched.
What she meant was that she had been a Dragon Princess in the Golden Dragon Clan for over twenty years, while Si Yan was the one who stole her identity.
"I don't know why you don't like me, and I don't know why you reject me like this."
Jin Yao kowtowed forcefully and said, "I am just a female earth dragon, and I am really very insecure and sensitive. I didn't mean to be like this, and I hope you can understand me."
I really don't ask for much. I've always just hoped that my life won't change too much and that I can continue to be filial to my father and mother.
"You are a female golden dragon, and my sister! I am but a weak earth dragon. You are so powerful, how could you not let me go?!"
Si Yan was also surprised.
"I am weak, therefore I am right"—can this really be expressed in this way?
Some of the beastmen watching were soft-hearted, and seeing Jin Yao kowtowing so pitifully, they whispered:
"Although they're not blood sisters, she's still an adopted sister. She's pleaded like this, why won't High Priestess Si Yan let her go?"
"That means Jin Yao is just a female earth dragon. She's so weak and pitiful."
Jin Yao raised her head, her head was bleeding, and she roared, "Si Yan, do you have to be so cruel!"
"I know it's all my fault. I've already admitted my mistake. What more do you want? Do you want me dead?!"
Han Shuang retorted angrily, "Si Yan, are you determined to force Yao Yao to her death? Are you also going to force your birth mother to her death?!"
Si Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Is there any more performance? Please continue."
Jin Yao was also surprised.
With so many orcs watching, and her kneeling here kowtowing like this, why won't she let her go?
Doesn't she know? There are so many weak beastmen here, surely many of them would sympathize with her situation.
At that point, the image she had painstakingly cultivated as the messenger of the beast god might completely collapse.
Does Si Yan really not care at all?
Jin Yao suddenly realized.
Si Yan, dressed in a colorful priestess robe, stood tall and proud, looking down at her with disdain.
Although Jin Yao was wearing a golden priest's robe, she looked as pitiful as could be. Her robe was torn, her head was bleeding from kowtowing, and she was still kneeling.
