After hearing what Shu Jiaying said, Xiaoxue finally felt relieved. When they returned to the stage, the blood-stained moon in the sky had slowly lost its red aura.
During this process, the high priest was still waving his bronze sword vigorously. Although the stage had collapsed long ago, he was still taking Seven Star Steps in the water until the moonlight became pure white. The entire river sacrifice ceremony was finally successfully concluded.
In front of all the members of the imperial family, the high priest reported to the emperor: "I report to the emperor."
"High Priest, if you have anything to say, just keep quiet."
"well!"
The high priest smiled broadly and said to Yu Jianxuan, "Just an hour before the river sacrifice, I was observing my surveying instrument and found that everything had returned to normal. This time the river sacrifice went so smoothly. I think the great disaster of Luosuo Kingdom should be over."
"Is the High Priest serious about this?"
"How dare I deceive you?"
With a complicated look towards Yu Chenfeng, the high priest said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, the light of the disaster star in the sky has passed. It seems that no matter what you do in the future, you can do it without any scruples."
"Hahaha... High Priest, you've worked really hard tonight. I'll reward you with 100,000 taels of gold!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."
Yu Jianxuan nodded, and after the high priest left, he began to announce to the royal family that they could leave. This river sacrifice ceremony came to a perfect end.
On the way home, Shu Jiaying saw that Yu Chenfeng still had a worried look on his face. She leaned on Yu Chenfeng and asked, "What's wrong, my husband? Isn't the matter resolved? Why do you still look so worried?"
"I…I don't know what to say."
"fool!"
Shu Jiaying held Yu Chenfeng's hand tightly and said, "We are husband and wife, are you still trying to hide this from me?"
"That's not the case, alas..."
Yu Chenfeng sighed. Since the high priest had already said that the disaster was over, Yu Chenfeng felt that it would not matter even if he expressed his thoughts.
He said, “Earlier in the high priest’s observation room, I saw that the model of the Logosuo Kingdom simulated under his surveying instrument was clearly in constant turmoil, and that turmoil was threatening to destroy the entire Logosuo Kingdom. So I was very surprised. Why did everything calm down after the snowstorm?
Yingying... I certainly don't want a major disaster to happen in the Logical Congress, but I don't think it will calm down all of a sudden. That's illogical!"
Shu Jiaying asked half-jokingly, "Don't you think this is the result of human sacrifice?"
Yu Chenfeng immediately denied it.
"How is that possible? Using humans to sacrifice to the river god is ridiculous. I don't believe that throwing a random person into the river can quell a disaster. It's simply ridiculous!"
"Okay, I was wrong. I also think this is ridiculous, but you don't have to think too much about it. Some things are bound to come and you can't avoid them. Instead of worrying about the future, it's better to enjoy the present!"
“Yingying…”
Although Yu Chenfeng didn't understand what Shu Jiaying meant by "worrying about nothing", he knew that Shu Jiaying was sincerely comforting him. He wanted to say something else, but in the end, all the words were stuck in his throat.
Yu Chenfeng nodded to Lingyue, lifted the curtain and looked out the window. At this moment, a shooting star happened to pass by.
