Chapter 202: Can’t afford to play?
The national guardian beast looked at her, breathing rapidly: "You were sacrificed to me, and you should be eaten by me."
"I didn't deny that." Jiang Yao said sincerely, "But you also told me that you could agree to one of my requests, and now that I've mentioned it, you can't do it."
The national guardian beast was also tangled, panting for a long time before speaking: "I can agree to one of your requests, but I can't eat you."
Jiang Yao looked embarrassed: "Okay, okay, then I'll change my request."
The national guardian beast stared at her closely, waiting for her request.
"I am willing to eat you, but you have to agree to my request, which is to eat me again in a hundred years."
The state-guarding beast immediately jumped twice on the spot, angrily saying, "You're kidding me, aren't you? You mortals only live for sixty or seventy years. Wait another hundred years, and I'll eat your bones."
Jiang Yao was also angry: "Look at you, we agreed to sacrifice, you promised me to give you food, but you can't do this or that, can't you afford to play?"
"Mortal, don't go too far. Change your request quickly."
"Do you want me to change?" Jiang Yao secretly adjusted his spiritual power. He had recovered a lot and was strong enough. If he waited a little longer, he might have the strength to escape.
"Okay, I'm a very easy-going mortal. I'll give you some to eat, but you have to agree to my request and not eat all of me."
"What do you mean I can't eat all of you?"
"I'll cut my nails, my hair, and some dead skin off my hands, and give them to you to eat."
Jiang Yao noticed that after she finished speaking, the eyes of the national guardian beast began to glow red.
After huffing and puffing for a long time, the national guardian beast couldn't bear her any longer and took a big step forward: "Why am I talking nonsense to a mortal like you? I regret it. I won't agree to your request. I will eat you directly."
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't play with me anymore." Jiang Yao looked fierce on the outside, but he was scared on the inside.
"I've seen the world, and I've dealt with gatekeeper beasts before. The Heavenly Sacrifice Beast is my contracted beast. If you continue to behave like this, how can you survive in the beast world? You're bringing shame to the beasts."
"Haha, you mortals are becoming more and more interesting. You're really arrogant. Is the Heavenly Sacrifice Beast your contracted beast? In the Yutian Kingdom, the Heavenly Sacrifice Beast has long been extinct."
"That's because you have a narrow vision and have never seen the world."
Jiang Yao opened the bundle, took out the box and opened it to show it: "See, this is the sacrificial beast."
Unexpectedly, the Guardian Beast burst into laughter after seeing this: "Haha, an egg is a sacrificial beast? Haha, stupid mortal, sacrificial beasts don't come out of eggs."
Not an egg-born child?
Jiang Yao was dumbfounded. Lan Ke had told her about this sacrificial beast, and Su Qianji had also acknowledged it. Could it be that it was not a sacrificial beast?
"I just ate a mortal a few days ago, and I was in a good mood, so I talked to you for so long, but my patience has its limits."
Jiang Yao closed the box and heard the words "I just ate a mortal a few days ago".
"Wait a minute, you said you ate a mortal a few days ago? Where did the mortal come from?"
"It was you, the State of Zhao, who offered the sacrifice."
The only mortals from Zhao who came to Yutian Kingdom were Jiang Shu and Jiang Yao. Could it be that...
"You ate a pair of sisters?"
"How would I know if they were sisters?"
Jiang Yao suddenly felt that the cloth hanging on the teeth of the national beast looked familiar. After looking at it carefully for a while, he found that it was embroidered with clusters of peonies. Wasn't this the clothes Jiang Xing wore when he left that day?
She was horrified and stared at the national guardian beast with wide eyes: "Are all the mortals who come here from Zhao every hundred years for you to eat?"
The national guardian beast narrowed its eyes and started chatting with her without any reservations.
"This is the contract that Zhao has made with me since its founding. You must offer sacrifices every hundred years, otherwise I will bring down divine punishment and make the people of Zhao live in misery."
Jiang Yao felt a chill down her spine. If she had come with Su Qianji that time, would she have also been given to the national guardian beast as food?
Thinking of this, she felt it was impossible because He Wan'er had a good relationship with her, so Su Qianji said that he didn't want her to go. That meant that Su Qianji knew about this, so if she came, she shouldn't end up here.
"Wait a minute, you said the sacrifice given to you by Zhao State was not the sacrifice given to you by Su Qianji?"
"Who is Su Qianji?" The Guardian Beast was a little confused: "I've never heard of this person."
Jiang Yao looked around and saw a desolate scene. He probably thought that the animal was a lonely beast and had never heard of people from outside.
"I'm asking, was the sacrifice given to you by the Zhao Kingdom, not the Yutian Kingdom?"
The state guardian beast snorted, "Those ants from the Zhao Kingdom. In the past, when the mortal world was plagued by natural disasters, the ants made a contract with me to survive. Every hundred years, they must offer sacrifices to me. This is a matter between me and the Zhao Kingdom. What does it have to do with the Yutian Kingdom?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yao felt very disappointed.
I have the impression that Zhao Ce and Zhao Huang have hinted several times that the Saint is not just a Saint, and when Zhao Huang refused Zhao Jie to be the Saint at the beginning, he must have known the reason.
So the Saint Maiden was not wanted by the Yutian Kingdom, but was given voluntarily by the Zhao Kingdom to the national guardian beast, so that the national guardian beast would protect the Zhao Kingdom?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao was horrified. A country actually had to sacrifice living people to save others. Is this the so-called killing four people to save a country? Is it a good deed?
Jiang Yao took a deep breath. His body had almost recovered. He didn't want to talk any more with this national guardian beast, so he packed the bag and tied it around his body.
"National Guardian Beast, you couldn't do what I asked you to do before, so how about I change you?"
"you say."
"Promise me you won't chase me for the next hour."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he raised his foot and started running, leaving the national guardian beast in a daze.
The beast's eyes were filled with shock and a bit of confusion.
Sacrifices are offered to it for its enjoyment. If it doesn't catch up within an hour, this mortal will disappear. Then what will it eat?
This is no different from not being allowed to eat her.
The national guardian beast roared wildly, somersaulted in the air, and landed steadily in front of Jiang Yao.
"Foolish mortal, don't try to fool me. You are mine, and you are not going anywhere today."
Jiang Yao looked solemn. The national guardian beast was not as easy to fool as the gatekeeper beast and the heavenly offering beast.
She lowered her right hand and slowly gathered her spiritual power.
"Foolish human." The national guardian beast seemed to be angry at Jiang Yao and kept roaring: "In the Yutian Kingdom, no one can tease me except the God of War. You are dead. I will eat you today."
Watching the huge monster approaching, Jiang Yao used his spiritual power to fly backwards.
This action made the national guardian beast pause and stare at her in disbelief.
"How come you, a mortal from the State of Zhao, possess spiritual power? Wait, this spiritual power looks familiar."
Jiang Yao counterattacked fiercely, then turned around and started running.
The blow landed on the national guardian beast, hurting it and angering it.
"roar!"
With a roar, he caught up with Jiang Yao again.
"Foolish mortal, you dare to hit me. Today, even if you have spiritual power, even if you are from Yutian Country, I will eat you."
