Xiao Qingyin raised an eyebrow.
How will heretics be treated?
"They would be put on a fire and burned to death in public."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
Tsk tsk, this Holy Religion really has nothing to do with the word "holy" at all.
He should be surnamed Xie (邪).
"But her foot still needs some medicine..."
Xiao Qingyin stopped mid-sentence.
She noticed that the wound on the little girl's instep had healed.
The woman had an expression that said, "I knew it."
"Those who have drunk the holy water are not afraid of getting hurt, and their wounds will heal quickly."
Xiao Qingyin remained silent for a moment.
She knew that the golden worms inside the little girl's body were helping to heal her wounds.
But these amazing effects come at a price.
Just two years after Linlang received a face transplant, her heart could not withstand the strain and she almost suffered a myocardial infarction.
Ms. Bai likely had better medication, but she also tried every possible way to get a heart transplant.
Then, recalling her first meeting with Madam Bai, she scolded Bai for being reckless, disguising herself at such a young age.
Clearly, the Holy Church had not found a way to kill the golden insects.
They may only have medication to alleviate the symptoms.
Thinking of this, she asked the woman, "Have you ever fulfilled a vow? Besides giving money, what else is involved in fulfilling a vow?"
"I did it once more."
The woman replied.
“When I gave birth to my daughter, I suffered postpartum hemorrhage and was saved by drinking holy water. When I go to the Holy Tower to make a vow, in addition to giving money, I also have to cut a finger and put it into the offering pool. This is a way of giving back to the Holy Spirit.”
Xiao Qingyin seemed to be deep in thought.
That pool of spirits might contain a drug that attracts golden insects, which could lure them out.
However, the golden insects reproduce very quickly. Even if they can be lured out, only adult insects or larvae can be attracted; unhatched eggs cannot be brought out.
That's why the Holy Church says that if you want to receive more protection, you need to frequently come to fulfill your vows.
That is, regularly cleaning off the bugs on your body.
But no matter how many times it's cleaned, it can never be completely eradicated, and the heart will weaken sooner or later.
The solution to the problem of premature death that Bai told Old Madam Bai was probably a heart transplant.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for the people of Nandan.
The four great families and the Holy Church will not only plunder the wealth they have worked so hard to create, but also their faces, their hearts, and the rest of their bodies.
This is utterly tragic and inhumane.
She sighed.
He said to the woman, "Remember to fulfill your vow."
The woman nodded eagerly: "We will definitely go. It must be the Holy Spirit's blessing that allowed us to meet you."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
I suddenly had an urge to assassinate the Holy Lord.
After saying goodbye to the woman, she walked through the streets and alleys of the holy city.
Indeed, there was no medical clinic or pharmacy to be seen here.
People relied on drinking holy water to cure all kinds of illnesses, whether major or minor, surgical or internal.
Perhaps because almost everyone was losing blood for a long time, Xiao Qingyin didn't see a single fat person in the civilian area.
There are quite a few fat people in the territories of the four great families.
It's easy to assume that they all knew what holy water was and wouldn't drink it unless absolutely necessary.
Xiao Qingyin wandered around until sunset before returning to the Bai family home with a heavy heart.
Unexpectedly, the Bai family had a surprise waiting for her.
She had barely stepped into the courtyard when someone barged in right behind her.
"You are Bai Musheng's mistress?"
The newcomer asked arrogantly.
Xiao Qingyin glanced at the other person's face. Wide-set eyes, flat nose, and thick lips—it was clear that he suffered from some kind of congenital disease.
It may be the result of many years of inbreeding among the four great families.
She smiled slightly.
"I am his cousin."
"Ha," the newcomer snorted, "What cousins? Do you think I don't know this is just a fig leaf? You've been slept together for a long time."
Xiao Qingyin chuckled: "Since you already know, why did you come here to ask?"
The newcomer raised his whip and lashed it at Xiao Qingyin's face.
The force was immense; clearly, the intention was to ruin her face.
Without blinking, Xiao Qingyin grabbed the whip and pulled it behind her, causing the person to fall forward unexpectedly.
He fell flat on his face with a "thud".
Xiao Qingyin stepped on the back of her head.
"Has no one ever told you that I'm not a pushover?"
"presumptuous!"
The newcomer roared.
Do you know who I am?
"If you don't know, how would I know?"
The person who came was furious.
He yelled towards the courtyard entrance, "Why aren't you coming in here right now! Take her down!"
A group of maids and servants rushed in instantly.
Xiao Qingyin pulled the hairpin from her hair, dragged the person up from the ground, pressed the tip of the hairpin against her carotid artery, and said indifferently, "Let's see who dares to come closer."
"You dare!" the newcomer gritted her teeth. "I am Jin Yueyue, Bai Musheng's fiancée. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I guarantee you won't live past tonight."
"I'm so scared."
Xiao Qingyin said expressionlessly.
"But I'm still quite happy to have Miss Jin accompanying me on my journey."
"Xiao Xiao, calm down."
Bai Musheng hurriedly walked in.
Xiao Qingyin glanced at him.
"She wants to disfigure me, how can you expect me to stay calm?"
Bai Musheng looked at Jin Yueyue: "Miss Jin, even if you are my fiancée, you cannot hurt my cousin. If you cannot do that, let's cancel this marriage. Perhaps the fifth young lady of the Ba family is more suitable for me."
"No one can cancel the engagement!"
Jin Yueyue said anxiously.
If she cancels the engagement, where will she find a husband more handsome than Bai Musheng?
