Chapter 654
"This disaster in the Great Wilderness Mountain was caused by the blasphemy of the gods by the orcs."
Wen Xin's clear and solemn voice echoed in the hall, making the beastmen even more respectful and devout. After she finished speaking, they glared at Peng Jun and the others with even more hatred.
Unfortunately, the five men had been tortured to the point of barely clinging to life and were unable to utter a word of rebuttal. Where was their former high spirits and arrogance?
Those who control the lives of others will today have their own lives controlled by others.
Wen Xin no longer cared whether they regretted it or whether they were truly repentant; it didn't matter anymore.
She withdrew her gaze and continued, "Now there is only one way to appease the Beast God's wrath, and that is to sacrifice the sinners with fire."
"Offer fire to sinners!"
"Offer fire to sinners!"
"We beg the Beast God for forgiveness!"
"We beg the Beast God for forgiveness!"
As soon as Wen Xin finished speaking, the group of orcs kneeling below began to raise their arms and shout. They were all so excited that their faces turned red. They wished they could burn Peng Jun and the others on the spot to appease the Beast God's anger, stop the rainstorm, and save their homeland.
The scene made Wen Xin feel once again as if she had been caught up in the scene of a large-scale cult.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand slightly, and the beastmen instantly fell silent.
"Come with me."
Wen Xin stepped out, with Shi You following beside her like the most loyal guardian, silent and dignified, protecting her from any inviolability.
The large green snake followed behind the two, proudly raising its big head and hissing fiercely at the beastmen from left to right, displaying the smug face of a petty person who was just trying to intimidate others.
The beastmen: "..."
The nanny, Bai Dahu, silently slapped his forehead, wishing he could just drag the silly snake away to avoid it tarnishing the noble and aloof image of the divine messenger.
But thinking that this silly snake now holds a higher status than him, being a lucky beast appointed by the divine messenger, Bai Dahu felt a pang of sadness, along with a strange sense of pride.
Bai Dahu was numb and could only continue taking care of the child with a sense of hopelessness.
The beastmen from each tribe knew that the giant green snake was the pet of the divine messenger, and they dared not object to its arrogance. They simply followed obediently out of the main hall of the temple.
The sky outside remained overcast, and torrential rain lashed down on everyone's hearts, filling them with apprehension and unease.
Even if the orcs are physically strong, they are like ants in the face of natural disasters, powerless to resist.
Wen Xin and Shi You walked into the square, but it seemed as if there was an invisible barrier around them, and the rain did not fall on them.
Especially the divine messenger, whose robes still fluttered in the misty rain, exuded an even more elegant and sacred aura.
All the orcs were filled with awe and reverence at this incredible sight, wishing they could kneel down again and worship the divine messenger.
Wen Xin slowly raised her hand, and with a rumbling sound, it reached the ears of the beastmen—the altar rising in the square.
This time, the orcs were truly defeated.
The divine messenger truly possessed extraordinary abilities!
Xiao Jin: "..." Then can't you guys even suspect that there was originally an altar in the square, but it was hidden by a mechanism?
Well, what do those country bumpkin orcs know about mechanisms?
The master is bullying the primitive orcs again, relying on the prophet of civilization.
Absolutely insane!
Red Rope was speechless: Seriously, can't this silly butterfly just shut its mouth?
Does it have to be beaten to death by its owner to learn a lesson?
Wen Xin gave the silly butterfly a sinister look, which scared Xiao Jin so much that he covered his head and squatted down, no longer daring to utter a sound.
She didn't pay much attention to that stupid butterfly that was courting death again. The important thing was to kill it when the time was right.
Wen Xin glanced at Bai Dahu.
Bai Dahu immediately accepted the order and instructed several orcs to drag Peng Jun and the others to the altar.
Wen Xin waved her hand, and the red rope split into five strands, which tied up the five offerings, which corresponded perfectly to the five beast god stone pillars on the altar.
This convinced the orcs below even more. What shocked them the most was that the bound offerings actually caught fire in the downpour, without needing any kindling or anything to fuel the flames, and without being extinguished by the rain.
The flames were like red lotuses, chilling and terrifying.
The beastmen trembled, prostrating themselves on the ground in utter awe, begging for the forgiveness of the beast god and the protection of the divine messenger.
Peng Jun and the others screamed in agony as they burned in the fire, but their limbs were crippled, leaving them no ability to struggle.
Fear, pain, and despair made them look like monstrous demons, evoking no pity whatsoever.
Would Wen Xin feel sympathy for those trashy things who tormented her soul fragments for over ten years in her past life?
Is she out of her mind?
Besides, in her previous life, wasn't she also tied up here by them and almost burned to death?
However, Wen Xin glanced at all the orcs present and saw only piety and excitement on their faces, without a trace of reluctance or sympathy.
Aside from being misled into believing that the torrential rain was related to Peng Jun and his group, most of the orcs actually had no real grudge against them.
Wen Xin's eyes darkened for a moment, her thoughts unreadable.
After the five sinners were burned to ashes, Wen Xin's fair fingers gracefully formed a lotus mudra, and specks of golden light shot into the sky.
"The sinners have been executed, the gods have calmed their anger, everyone has found their place, and the torrential rain has stopped!"
"The rain has stopped!"
"The rain has stopped!"
The dark clouds dispersed, and the torrential rain that had swept across the desolate mountains for nearly half a month finally stopped.
As the sun sets, a rainbow hangs high in the sky.
The beastmen cheered with joy.
However, the smile in Wen Xin's eyes didn't seem very genuine.
...
After the sacrifice, Wenxin's position as a divine messenger became unshakeable in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and all the beastmen worshipped her as a deity.
Her words are now considered divine pronouncements by the Great Wilderness Mountain; no one can disobey them, and no one dares to question them.
This paved the way for her and Shi You to build an orc kingdom.
only……
"You're unhappy."
On the hillside, Shi You hugged Wen Xin from behind, his cool, low-pitched voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.
Wen Xin naturally leaned against him, watching the beastmen bustling about in the valley. Her expression was calm, her red lips slightly upturned, showing no sign of displeasure.
How did he tell she was unhappy?
Thinking this through, Wen Xin asked directly.
Shi You gently rubbed her face against hers, "I know."
Wen Xin was both amused and exasperated by his brief, taciturn statement. "So, what do you know?"
She turned around, put her arms around her neck, raised an eyebrow, and said softly, "Knowing too much can be dangerous."
Shi You tilted her head, her clear and charming eyes gazing at her, clean and harmless, directly touching the softest spot in Wen Xin's heart, making her blush with cuteness.
Wen Xin sternly poked his cheek with her finger, "Don't seduce me in broad daylight."
Shi You chuckled softly, "What if I wanted it?"
Wen Xin: "..."
Oh no, oh no, her big snake has gone bad.
She lamented, "Sure enough, men... once a male gets what he wants, he'll go bad."
Shi You nuzzled her nose against hers, no longer showing the shyness or unease she had before, and chuckled softly, "Didn't you teach me, little divine messenger?"
Wen Xin: "..."
Don't think he can make her lose her mind just by using his good looks!
How did she corrupt him?
This is slander!
Before she could even retort angrily, Shi You had already smiled and pulled her into his arms.
He said softly beside her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He knew her worries, her concerns, and even more so, he knew that her feelings for those beastmen were extremely complicated.
Disdain mixed with a hint of helplessness and reluctance.
They are ignorant, indifferent, and heartless, yet also pitiful, devout, and easily satisfied.
Shi You understood the bitterness in her heart even more.
She made Peng Jun and the others pay the price, but she also thought that when the day came that she, as the divine messenger, was needed to perform the fire sacrifice, these orcs probably wouldn't even blink an eye.
So, will she continue with her plan and protect those orcs?
But how could Shi You let her end up like that?
If that day ever comes, he will be the sharpest sword in her hand, sweeping away all obstacles, regardless of the consequences or costs, even if it means bearing the sin of destroying the world, he will do it without hesitation.
Wen Xin reached out and hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest, showing him only her soft and vulnerable side.
But fool, how could she possibly bear to let him ruin himself for her?
We will not let them get to that point!
Wen Xin reached out and cupped his face, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with tears. "Shi You, you can destroy the world for me, but my bottom line is that I will never destroy the world. Will you be disappointed in me?"
Because she couldn't love him as unconditionally as he did.
Shi You gently kissed her lips, "I only want you to have me in your heart."
And he was her only partner, and that was enough.
Wen Xin's eyes trembled as she responded to her kiss. In the warm, breezy mountain forest, their love was deep and unwavering; their vows were as firm as the mountains and as deep as the sea, and he was all she needed.
