Hua Qing walked step by step to Su Yan, forcing her between the wall and him, leaving her unable to move forward or backward.
He leaned close to her ear and licked her earlobe, whispering softly.
"If my benefactor fails to protect me next time, he will be punished."
Su Yan looked at Hua Qing, who seemed completely incredulous.
"You, you are perfectly capable of protecting yourself."
Hua Qing had no intention of patiently persuading her at this moment; she was prepared to use force, threats, and intimidation.
"My benefactor wants me to say it again."
Su Yan considered her own situation.
His cultivation was sealed, so he couldn't escape and had to stay with him for a very long time.
She lowered her head and responded softly.
"I understand, I will protect you well."
She then hugged him.
Hua Qingqian smiled
"My benefactor is so kind to me."
Su Yan no longer wanted to argue with him.
But as she thought about it, she still raised her head.
What if I can't beat them?
This is a very important question. Although the original owner's cultivation level was already quite high within that sect.
But looking at the entire continent, it's not enough.
If you encounter a strong opponent, you'll only get beaten up.
Hua Qing was being looked at by her with those earnest eyes.
I thought she was forced to agree, but I didn't expect she was actually thinking about how to protect him properly.
Thinking about it this way, Hua Qing was happy.
There was a hint of genuineness in that smile.
"We won't lose."
He said this.
Su Yan listened and nodded.
She nestled in his arms again.
Sheng Rou was sent flying by a palm strike, and for the next two days, no one else appeared.
Until dusk on the third day.
The person who had led the way reappeared.
The only difference was that, unlike their previous politeness, the guide's tone had become cold.
"Gentlemen, let's go, the elder wants to see you."
With that, the guide turned and walked out.
This time, they weren't being taken to the elders' house.
Instead, we ended up in the center of the village again.
A group of villagers gathered in front of the statues.
Su Yan and Hua Qing were led by the guide.
They walked up to the high platform.
On the high platform, Sheng Rou stood there, dressed in pure white and barefoot.
Below the platform, the elder's face was grim, no longer displaying the excited and polite demeanor he had before.
Seeing this, Su Yan realized that they were about to take action.
But it's different from what's written in the book.
The scene in the book is when Hua Qing and Sheng Rou are holding their wedding ceremony.
Those people were all very happy.
This time, are they planning to use force directly?
After stepping onto the platform, Su Yan tiptoed and whispered in Hua Qing's ear.
"The sacred artifact is inside the snake-man statue behind you."
It can only be opened with the blood of the saintess.
They want to use you to break the snake people's curse; be careful.
After speaking, Su Yan stood up straight again.
Hua Qing stared at Su Yan for a long time.
Those dark eyes concealed the thoughts hidden within.
He didn't say anything more.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the entire village.
Neither of them spoke.
When the sun completely sets behind the western mountains.
The elder spoke up.
“God, we have atoned for our sins for a thousand years.”
We beg you to forgive us and let us leave this place.
We found the snake people who had been living away from home.
We only wish to sacrifice him and restore our normal bodies.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of chanting began to come from the surrounding people.
In an instant, everyone transformed into beings that were half-human and half-snake.
Only Su Yan and Hua Qing stood on the high platform, showing no reaction.
Then, as their chanting became longer and longer.
The statue behind me moved.
