Talkative words

Every ten years during the Qingming Festival, the village selects the most beautiful girl to become the Priest Holy Daughter.
After the tide rises, the cave entrance will be submerged, signaling that the deity is here to escort the Holy Daughter away.
If the deity is satisfied with the Holy Daughter, a week later, she will return rowing a small boat filled with riches and be supported by the entire village thereafter.
Otherwise, she will never return, and her family will be scorned by everyone.
The night before the selection of the Holy Daughter, the son of the village chief knocked on my door.
"Yunni, you will certainly be chosen tomorrow, why not come with me tonight, instead of heading to your death in vain!"
In the darkness, I locked the door and excitedly licked my lips at the sight of the bed filled with toys.
I've long wanted to savor what the deity is like, I am determined to be this Holy Daughter!


The Trap of the Rose

In Hailang Village, Yu Deming is a figure whose word is law, and everyone respects and fears him.


But I'm different, I have nothing to fear.


I stepped forward, looking straight into his eyes: "Village chief, how many consecutive years has the village's income been declining because the Holy Daughter hasn't been chosen to satisfy the gods! Do you still want everyone to live a good life?"


Yu Deming's cold gaze pressed down on me, as if he were contemplating something.


After a long pause, he said slowly, "Well, it's rare for you, Yunni, to have such a heart for the village and with your appearance, I think there's no one more suited to be the Holy Daughter than you."


Yu Fang's voice changed with urgency when he heard this: "Dad! It was agreed that Yunni would be my wife!"


"Shut up, there's no place for you to speak here!"


Yu Deming gave Yu Fang a fierce glare, waved his hand, and two strong men dragged him away.


"This year's Holy Daughter shall be He Yunni! Cui Lan, Qiu Xiang, take people to bathe her, burn incense, and dress her in the wedding gown, she must be on the sedan chair in two hours!"


After instructing a few of the older women, Yu Deming paused and summoned a few trusted strong men, giving them a few instructions.


When I was taken into the room to bathe, all the exits were guarded by strong men with weapons, ensuring not even a fly could come in.


After burning incense, the older women did not rush to put me in the wedding dress but brought several bronze mirrors and tools.


Yu Deming's wife, Li Cuilan, stepped forward and spoke to me coldly.


"Yunni, the ritual is an extremely important matter for the village, and there can be no mistakes."


"Next, we need to inspect you. If you're not a virgin, there's still a chance to admit it now. Otherwise, if we find out later, you'll be tied to a stone and thrown directly into the sea to sink!"


Witnessing how her own husband drooled over me in front of the ancestral hall, the looks they gave me seemed to have hooks, as if they wanted to dig out my heart.


But I acted as if I had no sense of shame, sprawling boldly on the cool chair, spreading my legs: "Inspect away."


As they approached silently, their fingers and tools roamed freely over various parts of my body.


My eyes glazed, lips slightly parted, I let out enchanting moans.


Sometimes, I even encouraged them to use more strength, assuring them I could handle it.


After half an hour of inspection, I remained as if nothing had happened, but those older women, accustomed to all kinds of scenes, blushed and sweated profusely.


"This little girl, clearly still intact yet behaves so lasciviously, truly a natural talent!"


"Quickly send her away, or every man in the village, young and old, will fall for her!"


Within the disdainful voices, a subtle muttering reached my ears.


"Though from the same family, how are Yunni and her dull sister completely different? What's more, her sister wasn't even a virgin..."


With that remark, all the older women changed their expressions, falling silent as if a mute button had been pressed.


I acted as if I didn't understand, innocently blinking my almond eyes: "What, my sister wasn't a virgin, then how did she pass the inspection to become the Holy Daughter?"


"You heard wrong, He Jiasui was well-behaved and sensible from a young age, the only college student in the village, much more honest and decent than you, how could she not be a virgin."


Li Cuilan threw the wedding dress over me, said with a cold face, "Auspicious time for getting on the sedan chair must not be delayed, there's no time for nonsense, hurry and get dressed up!"
