Chapter 3: Sacrifice

The mother holding the child looked at her blankly. She knew that she didn't know the petite refugee.

Everyone looked at her while holding their breath, and even the crow on the dead branch stopped screaming.

Feng Ziying's face was extremely cold. He pressed the voice in his throat and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

At this time, the white-clothed man also turned his gaze to Lin Xiaocha's face.

Lin Xiaocha squeezed the corners of her clothes tightly and said tremblingly, "I'm afraid."

After she finished speaking, she bit her lower lip until it turned white.

Everyone looked at this petite refugee. People said that the heroes in the book were generous, fearless, and brave.

People looked at her with more complicated eyes. Full of shocks, surprise, and pity...

After all, although they couldn't see her face clearly, she was a very young girl judging from her voice and body shape.

The City Lord didn't expect that the game he would definitely win was lost. He was lost to a dirty little girl.

His face was gloomy as if it was dripping with water.

With a sharp, cold voice, he said, "Okay, since you want to die, I will fulfill you."

At this time, the system reminded Lin Xiaocha in her mind.

[Feng Ziying Progress: -20%]

Can it actually become a negative number?

But Lin Xiaocha didn't care.

The guard walked towards Lin Xiaocha. She didn't struggle and just said, "I'll go by myself."

The City Lord: ...

Seeing her walking in front of the carriage, he couldn't help but lower his brows.

"Stop."

Lin Xiaocha stopped.

Feng Ziying asked coldly, "Do you know how the demon race will sacrifice humans?" The implication is it might be so cruel that she could not imagine.

Lin Xiaocha shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

The morning light shone on her dirty but exquisite profile, like a golden light.

Everyone thinks that they are blinded.

After that, she walked forward without looking back.

The pair of mother and child, who the guards released, stared at Lin Xiaocha's back, leaving the ground.

The mother turned over, knelt on the ground, and started crying. They muttered, "Thank you~Thank you~"

The other refugees' numb and fearful eyes kept trembling, watching the fragile and straight back, under the escort of the guards, disappear into the early morning mist.

......

......

System: [You know that you will be fine. Why did you stand up so late? ]

She knew that the male protagonist would come to rescue her. She knew that she would be fine.

In the morning mist, the corner of Lin Xiaocha's mouth evoked a small arc. She did not answer the system's questions.

In the original work, Lin Wu stepped forward first, irritating the City Lord. But the refugees are not necessarily grateful to her.

But now, she saved a poor pair of mother and child. She also got the promise of the City Lord to give the refugees porridge for a hundred days.

Immediately brushed the favor of the masses.

The white-clothed man slowly looked away from Lin Xiaocha's back.

In fact, for him, whether it is Lin Xiaocha or the mother and child, whoever became the sacrifice is the same.

Because...

He will save them.

However, he didn't expect that she would do that.

*

In order to show respect for sacrificial objects, even cattle and sheep must be tied with red silk. So naturally, a human sacrifice cannot be sent dirty.

Coming out of the bathtub, Lin Xiaocha walked to the front of the yellow bronze mirror to check her appearance.

The girl in the mirror is beautiful and delicate—just like before her journey. This type is most likely to give a man a protective and possessive desire. Of course, her appearance is more refined than before.

The stepmother-like author treated her pretty well in terms of appearance.

It's just that this girl, that has just turned sixteen, still has a little childishness on her face. During this period of being a refugee, her pair of arms have become a little thinner.

All of these conceal the natural charm in Lin Xiaocha's bones.

In fact, this is also good. It is easier to make people unguarded.

The moment Lin Xiaocha stepped out of the room after bathing and changing clothes, the guards outside the door looked straight.

The girl in front of them was petite and exquisite. Her face was clear and refined, as if she was trapped in a layer of mist.

Tao Ji was the best-looking woman they had ever seen, but they found that she was nothing but cheesy and even vulgar compared with the young girl in front of them.

Lin Xiaocha, wearing a plain-colored brocade dress and a long-tailed white robe, walked down the black stairs of Dongling City in a hurry.

At this moment, she is very calm, unlike the panic in the morning. In a clean robe, she did not look like a sacrifice but a princess escorted out by the guards—like a lily in the middle of this black city.

All the people in the city were stunned to see her.

A hint of surprise flashed in the long and narrow eyes of the City Lord standing in a high place.

But thinking that she made him give the group of ants porridge for a hundred days, he felt upset.

Moreover, the refugees are ants in his heart. The sacrifice in front of him is just a beautiful ant who was against him.

So he will let her die sooner.

*

In the book, the border between the Dongling City and Ten Thousand Demon Forest is called the "Bone Burial Ground."

It was a barren land filled with miasma and corpses, and neither humans nor demons were willing to step into it easily.

The sky was burning red, and the white bones on the ground also showed red light. A strong wind blew by, mixed with the stench hitting the face, causing the piled skulls to roll away.

It's creepy.

After entering the Burial Ground, four women in red clothes and red totems painted on their faces took over the prisoner wagon.

Their rich "capital" and naked thighs were exposed under their low-hanging dresses. It made the guards very happy.

Until they turned around and showed the furry orange tails behind their asses, then the guards were so scared that all hairs in their bodies were erected. They hurriedly fled after handing over the prisoner wagon to these female fox demons.

Lin Xiaocha was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. She did not understand the evilness of this fantasy world. Now that she has arrived in this gloomy place, she can't help but pant rapidly when she sees the four big furry tails.

The land that the prisoner wagon passed was barren. The ground was full of bones, and a thick miasma enveloped the sky.

Who knows how long it has been? Lin Xiaocha saw a black altar in the miasma engraved with red light symbols.

Underneath the altar, there was a tribe of demons kneeling down under dark pressure, and a demon tribe priest in white was standing above it.

And in the empty pool in the middle of the altar was a black egg with fluorescent light.

This empty pool is the blood reservoir.

This black egg is the Demon King Egg.

It was described in the book that the process of the sacrifice is to cut the throat of the human sacrifice and let the blood flow into the blood reservoir to irrigate the demon king's egg.

Seeing Lin Xiaocha being escorted, the demons bowed and became excited.

"Cut her throat!"

"Drain her blood!"

"New Demon King! New Demon King!!"

But there were some other voices, "Tsk Tsk, how can she look better than the four fox sisters? Is she really human?"

"I can smell her. She is a human."

There was even a teenager who stretched out his long tongue through the prison wagon to curl Lin Xiaocha's hair. He was drooling to Lin Xiaocha, "Little beauty, you look so good to eat."

Then he was kicked flying by one of the foxes, "Dead lizard! Get out! You dare to think about the sacrifice for the new Demon King."

Lin Xiaocha was still in the prisoner wagon, and the sacrifice could only be carried out when the moon rose.

Even though she knew that the hero would come to save her according to the plot, she kept oozing cold sweat on her forehead. She kept saying to herself that she was not afraid. Everything was fake.

But thinking about the system's rewards, it was like she was a shot in the heart.

[After a while, you must wake me up before the male lead leaves.] Lin Xiaocha told the system.

Because when the hero in the book came out to rescue her, Lin Wu had already fainted.

It was a few days later when she woke up again, and she didn't remember what had happened at that time.

If you are not reading this on puretl. com, then this chapter has been stolen

The person who rescued her only left a tasseled white jade medallion with the word "Yuan" on it.

That jade medallion was owned by Shang Yuan, the male protagonist of the book.

But Lin Xiaocha can no longer let Shang Yuan leave like this.

Because Shang Yuan didn't know the heroine's identity at this time, he didn't know that she was his enemy's daughter. So this time was the easiest way to attack him. She could not waste this opportunity.

System: [No problem.]

Unwittingly sun went completely downhill, and the wilderness wind blew through the wagon and made Lin Xiaocha feel pain.

A full moon climbed into the sky, and the miasma in the sky gave way to its light.

A group of demons reveled again, and the screams of various beasts were endless.

The earth shook violently and quickly cracked. Then something rose from the crack.

A pair of blue vertical pupils with a diameter of at least half a meter stared at Lin Xiaocha fiercely.

"Your Majesty the Demon King!"

"Long live the Demon King!"

Even with a 100 million bounty, she couldn't calm herself down.

A pair of watery eyes stared at the pair of vertical pupils, constantly shaking up and down.

Her whole person was so frightened that she was pale. Her whole body felt sore.

The fox demons pulled her out of the wagon and began to remove her clothes.
