Chapter 108 Meeting Your Highness is My Fortune in This Life
"Because of your tail!"
Ning Shengsheng glanced at Xue Chen, then said to Qinglin: "Although your people all have dark green tails."
"When you showed us to the guest room yesterday, I noticed that the tip of your tail was slightly forked."
Qinglin silently retracted the tip of his tail.
"Little girl, you are really cunning and clever."
"No, no, it's Miss Qinglin who did it on purpose, otherwise we wouldn't have found the altar so easily."
She folded her arms and looked at the sacrificial flag on the altar.
Qu Tingzhu frowned and pondered these words secretly.
Liu Yuehen hissed.
"Junior sister, is your brain not working well?" He leaned over and analyzed in a low voice.
"Oh?" Qinglin gently stroked the totem between his eyebrows, "I don't know why I did it on purpose."
Xue Chen's expression was indifferent. "The layout of each guest room is so simple that you're practically sticking clues in our faces."
Ning Shengsheng continued Xue Chen's words, "The cursed bronze mirror and stone tablet are all pieces of the truth you wanted us to glimpse. You deliberately told us not to go out at midnight. Your words only make everyone more curious. Aren't you doing this to lure us to the altar?"
Qinglin covered her lips and said with a sweet smile: "That's right."
After Liu Yuehen and Qu Tingzhu finished their explanation, the other party let out a long "oh".
Ask the questions everyone wants to know.
"Why did Boss Qinglin bring us here?"
The four of them looked over at the same time.
Qinglin raised his head, twisted his snake tail to the edge of the altar, and pointed his staff at the people in the deep pit.
"They deserve to die."
"We, the Green Python Clan, are known in Loulan for exorcising evil spirits and bringing good fortune. We were once held in high esteem by the people, who sought our protection and asked us to guard the vast desert."
"Guess what happened in the end?" She turned around with a smile, her slightly raised eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.
Ning Shengsheng: "What happened?"
"It's funny." Qinglin raised his head and gazed into the boundless sky, his expression lost in reminiscence. "That first year, not a drop of rain fell. They knelt devoutly and prayed for our protection. Mother is the Demon Lord. She said that since we were worshiped by the incense, it was our duty to protect the people. All the demon snakes in the tribe were sent out to find water."
"At first, we found some water bit by bit."
"They—" Qinglin turned angrily and pointed at the people buried in the deep pit, "They are grateful and ecstatic, and they all come to kowtow."
"Just when my mother thought things were getting better, she didn't expect it to rain for three consecutive years. What earthly immortals who exorcise evil spirits and bring blessings? What respected demon lords? It's ridiculous! Ask them what despicable and shameless things they have done!"
The people in the deep pit no longer struggled for help, but lowered their heads in fear and guilt.
Ning Shengsheng's incredible thoughts came to light, "Could it be that they killed your people?"
Qinglin's enchanting face enlarged in front of her, and despair of betrayal rose in her eyes.
"Little girl, you still don't understand the evil in people's hearts."
"Then..." She pursed her lips and looked up at Xue Chen. Xue Chen held her hand, turned to look at Qing Lin, and said calmly: "The stone tablet records that the people of the ancient city survived for six years during the drought. Your Bimang clan helped them find water for four years, so for the remaining two years..."
Qinglin closed his eyes helplessly, "The remaining two years will be a nightmare for my Bimang clan."
The woman seemed unwilling to speak again.
She pursed her lips sadly, turned her wrist, and a bronze mirror flew out from her dark red cuff.
The bronze mirror flew into the air.
Cruel scenes flashed inside.
In the fifth year, the Green Python Clan could no longer find water.
The expressions on the faces of the people in the ancient city changed from pleading to resentment and hatred. They smashed the temple tablets and went around hunting for green pythons like crazy. They especially captured the newly born green pythons to threaten Qinglin's mother.
Trade the young lives of the Green Python clan for the surrender and obedience of Qinglin's mother.
But.
It's not over yet.
They locked the newborn green pythons in the cellar and fed them with their blood, while the adult green pythons continued to go out to find water for them.
Qinglin's mother is the demon lord.
They buried him alive in the deep pit in front of the altar.
It's called a beautiful name.
The demon lord offered a sacrifice, and God would have mercy on him and it would rain.
The reason they were able to hold out for two years was because all of the Green Python's blood was only enough to support them for two years.
The picture in the bronze mirror.
When he came back from searching for water in Qinglin, he saw the scene of his entire tribe being killed.
Ning Shengsheng and the other three looked sad. She looked up at Qinglin, only to see him shedding two lines of blood and tears.
"How can I not hate it?"
"How can I not seek revenge?"
"It's too easy to let them die." Qing Lin clutched his chest in pain. "My youngest child was only five days old, and they skinned and ate his flesh and drank his blood. Killing them isn't enough. I want them to be trapped here for eternity, experiencing what their mother and tribe have gone through over and over again."
"Miss Qinglin, you..."
"Little girl, do you think I'm going too far?"
Qinglin interrupted her, his resentful and sinister gaze lingering on Ning Shengsheng's face.
Her hair stood on end instantly. Xue Chen stood in front of her and smiled, "Of course it's not excessive. In my opinion, the punishment you gave to those beasts was too light."
"oh?"
Qinglin squinted at the gentle and harmless boy.
The young man opened his light-colored, thin lips calmly, but the words he spoke were extremely vicious.
"Since they have devoured the flesh and blood of your people, you should transform them into jade pythons and let them taste the pain of having their blood and flesh drunk and eaten by their former friends and family."
Qing Lin was stunned, then burst into laughter, the laughter getting louder and louder, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, "You are absolutely right, I was wondering why torturing them like this couldn't relieve the hatred in my heart, so this is the crux of the matter."
She suddenly turned around and stared at the people at the bottom of the pit.
That group of people only now felt the real fear.
They all looked up at the young man in a green shirt with wide sleeves on the altar. How could such a handsome man be so vicious?
"Miss Qinglin, please let us go!"
"Please!"
"Give us a quick death!"
"Have you let my people go?" Qinglin sneered and signaled his snake demon to drag this group of people out.
Let them take revenge in the way Xue Chen said.
Qu Tingzhu felt sorry for the fate of the Green Python clan, and what Xue Chen had just said also frightened her.
Hiding behind Liu Yuehen and trembling.
Xue Chen lowered his eyelashes, but saw Ning Shengsheng's face full of satisfaction.
Shengsheng is obviously a kind person, why does she react like this?
"Your Highness, why do you look like that? Don't you think Wu Yin's idea just now was malicious?"
"No." Ning Shengsheng stood on tiptoe, patted his head, and said with a smile, "Revenge is not up to us. Miss Qinglin, the victim, believes that revenge is the real revenge!"
"The method you just came up with helped her escape and also helped the Green Python people. How could it be vicious?"
Can you still think like that?
A look of surprise flashed across Xue Chen's eyes.
Ning Shengsheng brought him so many surprises.
Xue Chen suddenly felt like his soul had found an outlet. Finally, someone understood him from the bottom of his heart and completely understood his thoughts.
"Your Highness."
"Um?"
"Your Highness!"
"What's the matter?"
"My Lord—"
"Xue Wuyin! What are you doing?"
Ning Shengsheng tilted her head, her eyelashes fluttering as she looked at the person in front of her, "Are you crazy?"
The corners of the boy's mouth curled up more and more, and finally he laughed heartily, "No, I just..."
"Just what?"
"I'm just very happy. Extremely happy. How happy am I..."
"Perhaps meeting Your Highness is the blessing of my life."
