"Jiang Qiao and I got along pretty well and quickly became close friends until she left Jiangjia Village," Huang Yu said. "But I didn't expect her to come back two years later and tell me she was married to Jiang Yi."
"I'm not familiar with Jiang Yi, but as Jiang Qiao's friend, I'm naturally happy for her. She said it was inconvenient for her to go back to Jiangjia Village, so I took her in in my shop for one night. The next day, she left. I thought she was going back to Jiangjia Village, but unexpectedly, she went to the mountain. I was worried, so I followed her quietly. Unexpectedly, I saw her kneeling devoutly in front of a very burly man in a black robe, holding an egg in her hands, as if begging for something." Huang Yu swallowed involuntarily when he thought of the scene that day. That man was really terrible!
After calming down, Huang Yu continued, "I was discovered by Jiang Qiao and the man in black robe. The man in black robe wanted to kill me, but Jiang Qiao saved me. The price was that I became one of them."
"It wasn't until that day that I realized Jiang Qiao wasn't actually human. She was a demon, a lizard demon. The egg was her child. She had been seriously injured, and the child was born with congenital defects and it would be difficult for it to survive until hatching. She was begging the black-robed man to save her child. The black-robed man was not human either, but a black dragon, very powerful, who cultivated by feeding on human souls!"
"I knew Jiang Qiao wouldn't ask the Black Dragon to save her child without a price, but I never imagined she would be so cruel as to offer the entire Jiang Village in exchange!" Huang Yu sighed, "And just like that, she provoked the Black Dragon, and it's now entrenched in the Black Dragon Altar."
"Black Dragon Altar? Is that the Black Dragon Altar that can cure all diseases?" Jiang Hu opened his mouth in shock.
Two years ago, after Jiangjia Village was destroyed, a Black Dragon Shrine appeared on the mountain in Qinghe Town. Legend has it that anyone who finds the Black Dragon's favor will receive a elixir that cures all ailments. Many outsiders inexplicably flocked to the Black Dragon Shrine, significantly increasing the income of Qinghe Town and, of course, boosting business at their dessert shop.
"Hehehe, this is the only way I can think of to save Qinghe Town. Do you know how powerful that black dragon is? At that time, I saw a huge black shadow flash across the sky above Jiangjia Village. Jiangjia Village, which had been somewhat noisy, suddenly became terrifyingly quiet. There was not even a sound of insects! After the black dragon left, I entered the village again and found that all the people had turned into bones. Those bones turned into powder as soon as they were touched. I fainted from fright at that time. If Jiang Qiao hadn't taken me out of Jiangjia Village, I would be the only living person you found in Jiangjia Village!" Huang Yu said fearfully.
"During those days, I lived in fear every day, fearing that Qinghe Town would become the second Jiangjia Village. I had to protect Qinghe Town, even if it meant going to hell. So I spread rumors like that to attract outsiders to feed Lord Black Dragon! Lord Black Dragon approved of my method. Every time someone came to ask for medicine, he would give it to them, but the condition was that after the illness was cured, they had to send a living person to the mountains to be enslaved by Lord Black Dragon for ten years. Haha, what kind of slavery? It means being fed to Lord Black Dragon! This is exchanging life for life!" Huang Yu said, "Human hearts are so selfish. Many sick people would rather sacrifice their sons and grandsons in order to survive, and some even trick their wives into fulfilling their vows..."
