Yu Ze glanced at the statue and shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"
Josh shook his head: "I can't explain it, I just feel weird, there must be something wrong with this statue."
Yu Ze heard this and said, "I'll go up and take a look."
He stepped lightly onto the altar and approached the statue.
It was a dark night, and the moonlight streaming in from the window cast a cold glow on the statue.
Suddenly there was a slight noise outside the door.
Someone was coming towards the center of the ancestral hall.
There was a sound of unlocking the middle door.
Qiao Xi and Yu Ze looked at each other, and he decisively reached out and pulled the person to the table.
The two of them quickly dodged behind the statue and used the stone waves created by the mermaid's tail to shield their bodies.
The door was gently pushed open, and two figures walked in stealthily.
There was a transparent window behind the statue. The two men did not dare to stick their heads out, for fear that their shadows under the moonlight would be projected on the ground and attract the attention of the two people below.
There was a rustling sound, and then a woman's voice sounded very young: "Will this really work?"
The man lowered his voice: "You have to try to know, Xia Xia, didn't you say you would marry me? I have been waiting for you for three years."
Xia Xia's voice was somewhat moving: "Yuntian, we grew up together, and my feelings for you are clear to me, Lord Poseidon!"
When Yu Ze heard the name, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Yuntian firmly held the woman's hand and said, "Then give it a try. I heard that only women chosen by the Sea God can become saints. And if you can wake up the statue by placing your hand on it, then you are the one chosen by the Sea God. If you fail after trying, then there is no need to waste your time to be a candidate for the priestess!"
Xia Xia nodded, looking at the tall and majestic statue with some fear: "Lord Poseidon, please forgive me, I only have Yuntian in my heart. I am not a pure person and I am not worthy of serving you."
She swallowed nervously and reached out to touch the idol.
Qiao Xi didn't hear any movement for a long time, and couldn't help but lean forward a little. Her hand accidentally touched the tail of the statue. The icy touch scared her and she quickly retracted her hand.
Yu Ze asked with a side glance, and Qiao Xi shook his head.
There was another conversation from below: "Great! It wasn't me! I felt the stone!"
"Shh!" Yun Tian quickly covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down, or you'll be discovered."
Xia Xia nodded quickly, and when she looked at Yuntian, her eyes suddenly changed.
Yuntian blushed and quickly retracted his hand: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xia Xia took his hand and said, "Xiao Yun, how long has it been since we last met in private?"
Yun Tian's ears turned red, and a hint of shyness flashed across his eyes: "It was you who insisted on being this priestess."
Hearing this, Xia Xia moved closer: "Really? Who was it that pissed me off at that time, saying that she would rather marry a big guy than marry me."
Yuntian glared at her in complaint: "Who told you to lie to me and say you didn't prepare a betrothal gift for me? My brothers would laugh to death when they heard it."
Xia Xia smiled and said, "You won't marry me without a gift?"
Yuntian blushed and lowered his head: "Of course not... But it's not easy for my parents to raise me... I'm the one who does all the work at home, and I haven't saved much money over the years. At least with the gift, I can give some to my parents so that they can save some money for their retirement, right?"
When Xia Xia heard this, her brows slightly wrinkled, but then she smiled and said, "Don't talk about this. We haven't been close for a long time. Look..."
Yun Tian half-heartedly said, "Are you crazy? Lord Poseidon is watching us..."
An ambiguous voice soon came from below.
Qiao Xi wanted to stick his head out in confusion, but was pushed back by Yu Ze.
She looked over inquiringly.
Yu Ze said silently with a dark face: "Minors are not allowed to watch."
Qiao Xi: “…” I’m old enough to be your little ancestor!
The two of them got close to each other, Yu Ze cleared his throat and calmly distanced himself from her.
Qiao Xi leaned against the mermaid's tail speechlessly and sent him a message in the group: [What should we do now? ]
Isozawa: [Wait for them to leave.]
Things were going on very quickly down there when suddenly there was a noise outside.
The two were startled and quickly put on their clothes.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Xia Xia didn't have time to take people to hide, so she could only grit her teeth, drag Yuntian onto the altar, and hide behind the statue.
The four of them met each other in the moonlight.
Yuntian was so scared that he almost screamed, but Xia Xia covered his mouth.
Qiao Xi and Yu Ze looked at the two men calmly.
Anyway, they were not the only ones being watched, so they were not embarrassed.
Qiao Xi smiled slightly, and in order to show her friendliness, she said seriously: "What a coincidence, you are here to have an affair too."
Putting yourself in the same camp as the other party can effectively reduce the other party's vigilance.
It was Josh's way of being friendly.
However, cheating is not a good word.
Xia Xia's face suddenly became colorful.
Yuntian couldn't help but blush.
Yu Ze held back a smile in his eyes and pushed Qiao Xi, who looked serious, behind him: "Sorry, the child is still young and doesn't understand."
Xia Xia's expression finally eased a little.
The door was pushed open and a blurry figure pushed in. It could be vaguely seen that it was a woman.
The space for four people was a bit cramped, so Josh leaned on the tail and carefully extended the thread to investigate the situation.
What comes in from outside is the monthly interest.
Only through the spider silk did Josh see the expression on her face.
Yuexi at night was completely different from during the day. There was an expression of pain and struggle on her face, and she was mumbling something under her breath.
Qiao Xi stretched the spider silk forward a little, closer to Yuexi, and then he heard her voice.
"Lord Poseidon, please forgive me. I can't do anything about it."
"If it were possible, who would want to do such a thing? I was forced to do it. My sins can no longer be washed away..."
Josh frowned slightly, what does this mean?
What did Yuexi do that required him to come and confess in the middle of the night?
When Xia Xia saw Aunt Yuexi, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she became a little flustered.
Were they discovered when they came in?
I forgot to lock the door when I came in just now. Will Yuexi find out anything?
She was daydreaming when suddenly her foot slipped and she subconsciously grabbed Yuntian who was beside her.
The two men tumbled down from behind the statue.
Qiao Xi was also startled and quickly hid back.
"Who's there!" The expression on Yuexi's face was instantly replaced by coldness, and his eyes were like sharp blades.
Xia Xia and Yun Tian’s faces turned pale in an instant. They fell to the ground and didn’t dare to get up. They knelt at Yue Xi’s feet.
Qiao Xi and Yu Ze looked at each other, and both of them held their breath involuntarily.
She paid attention to the movements below and carefully pulled her body back a little, not realizing that this action almost made her and Yu Ze stick together.
