Nan Sheng looked at Chen Yunniang's bewildered expression, as if she didn't know what the Dragon Snake Jade was, and her expression became serious.
Did the wizard make a mistake?
But the wizard chose the saintess based on the guidance of the gods; how could the gods be wrong?
Nan Sheng, with a solemn expression, instructed the person behind her, "Go and invite the shaman."
"yes."
Chen Yunniang watched as Nan Sheng changed from his previous humble attitude to his previous arrogant and indifferent one.
I couldn't help but recall Lu Ziqian's words: "Don't you even use your brain? You're not from the Southern Frontier tribe, so how could you possibly be their holy maiden?"
Now they're asking her for some kind of dragon and snake jade, and she doesn't even know what dragon and snake jade is.
They must have made a mistake. What should we do?
Chen Yunniang glanced at Nan Sheng's expression and cautiously asked, "Crown Prince Nan, what if you've made a mistake and I'm not the Holy Maiden?"
Nan Sheng looked her up and down without saying a word, but instead shifted his gaze to the execution ground.
Chen Yunniang turned pale with fright and wished she could immediately take off her saintly robes.
This gorgeous dress seemed to coil around her like a venomous snake, imprisoning her, deadly and terrifying.
These barbarians are unreasonable and insane; they burned people alive simply because someone stole and wore the clothes.
Now that she's wearing it too, if she weren't a saint, would she also be burned at the stake?
“Prince Nan, if you have truly made the wrong choice, it is your fault, not mine. I know nothing, I am innocent.”
She tried her best to explain.
Unexpectedly, Nan Sheng sneered, a cruel sneer in her fox-like eyes: "No matter who is wrong, those who defile the Saintess's robes deserve to die."
How can you be so unreasonable?
"I never said I was a saint. You were the ones who insisted I was a saint. Now that you've got it wrong, can you blame me?"
Chen Yunniang was furious and extremely flustered.
She was considering the possibility of escaping.
After what happened last time, they will definitely be wary of her this time.
what to do?
She never imagined that she would fall into a tiger's den right after escaping from a dragon's den!
Nan Sheng is far more terrifying than Lu Ziqian. Don't be fooled by his smiling face; he's actually vicious and ruthless at heart, as cold-blooded as the venomous snakes here.
Fortunately, the mother-child Gu is still there, and she can use it on Nan Sheng at a critical moment. It's unknown whether it can save her from this calamity.
She feared that the Southern Frontier Kingdom possessed an antidote for the curse, rendering her curse on Nan Sheng futile and only resulting in a more tragic death.
Just as Chen Yunniang was filled with fear and confusion, the sorcerer arrived.
Nan Sheng told the wizard that Chen Yunniang did not have the Spirit Serpent Jade.
The wizard frowned at first, then said firmly, "The gods will not make a mistake; she is the saintess."
"I can sense the holy light remaining on her body from the Dragon-Snake Jade."
There's no mistake!
Nan Sheng asked doubtfully, "You really don't know what Dragon Snake Jade is?"
Chen Yunniang had a strong will to survive, and based on their conversation, she tried hard to recall anything related to jade.
"I don't know anything about Dragon Snake Jade."
"The only jade pendant I've worn since I was a child is a bright green jade fish pendant."
"I can draw it and show it to you."
Chen Yunniang drew a circular jade pendant of two fish connected end to end on the paper.
Although her drawing skills are not good, she can still draw a rough sketch.
The two looked at the pattern on the paper without any reaction; it was clearly not the dragon-snake jade they knew.
Seeing their reactions, Chen Yunniang was terrified. If this jade was not the pendant they were looking for, she would surely die.
“This piece of jade is not ordinary jade; it is… I obtained it in a dream.”
"It was given to me in a dream by a deity; it is definitely not an ordinary item."
"Moreover, every year on the night of the full moon on the fifteenth of August, even in the pitch black, the jade pendant will emit a faint green light, like a luminous pearl."
Back then, she saw this jade pendant glow, and when Su Yujiao was five years old, she told her that it was given to her by someone in her dream.
I also heard about all of Su Yujiao's experiences in her dream.
She immediately concluded that this jade was definitely a treasure, perhaps even a celestial object.
That's why she stole Su Yujiao's jade pendant and threatened her not to tell the adults.
As a result, she accidentally pushed someone into the water, and at the time she thought it would be better if they drowned.
If she drowns, no one will know that she stole Su Yujiao's jade pendant, and no one will be afraid that she will complain to someone. This treasure will belong to her.
Who would have thought that the bitch had a lucky life since childhood and actually survived.
Fortunately, she was so frightened that she lost her memory.
When Chen Yunniang came to her senses, she saw the excited looks in their eyes, and Nan Sheng reverted to her previous respectful demeanor.
The wizard excitedly told her that another name for the Dragon Serpent Jade was the Dream Stone.
It is the national treasure of their Southern Frontier Kingdom, and will be obtained by a destined person under the guidance of the gods. The one who possesses the Dragon-Snake Jade is the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom.
As for the Pisces form being different from the portraits left by their ancestors, it's possible that even their ancestors didn't know that the Dragon-Snake Jade could change forms.
Nan Sheng asked excitedly, "Where's your Pisces jade pendant?"
He couldn't wait to see the true appearance of the Dragon Snake Jade.
Chen Yunniang was stunned. She hadn't expected that the jade pendant was actually the dragon and snake jade they were looking for.
The protective treasure of the Southern Frontier Kingdom can also change into different shapes?
What exactly is the purpose of that piece of jade that makes them value it so much?
I've worn it for so many years, and apart from it glowing on the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, it doesn't seem to have any other special features.
The Dream Stone?
Could that piece of jade make people dream?
However, she dared not ask too many questions now, fearing they would discover that she was an imposter saint, not the chosen one of the gods.
After all, she had snatched that jade from Su Yujiao.
Suddenly, Chen Yunniang realized a fact she found hard to accept: Su Yujiao was the true Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang!
Nan Sheng saw that she was in a daze and had a bad expression, looking like she had something on her mind.
He then asked again, "Holy Maiden, are you wearing the Dragon-Snake Jade with you?"
Chen Yunniang realized what was happening and said, "How could I possibly carry such an important treasure with me? Of course, I've hidden it at home."
Actually, it has already been snatched away by Lu Ziqian!
The two had no doubts, after all, they wouldn't have carried such an important treasure with them.
"Will the Holy Maiden's Moon Worship Ceremony tonight be possible without that jade?"
Nan Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's proceed as usual, according to the usual standards."
"Once you obtain the Dragon-Snake Jade, you can have your clansmen worship it as a deity."
Chen Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally passed this hurdle. She was terrified that she might have been exposed and burned alive.
Perhaps, it wasn't just about being burned to death!
The woman was burned alive simply for stealing the saint's clothes.
She's impersonating a saintess; who knows how these barbarians will punish her once they find out!
Chen Yunniang feigned curiosity and asked, "Will something magical happen during the moon-worshiping ceremony after receiving the jade pendant?"
