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

"Niu Laosan, who gave you the courage of a dog to dare mention matters of the divine?!"


Yu Deming's voice sounded from behind me.


While my attention was entirely on Niu Laosan, he quietly took out a dagger and pressed it against my throat.


The tip of the knife was incredibly sharp, a slight slice could sever my windpipe.


Niu Laosan, startled by Yu Deming's intimidation, instantly sobered up.


He shakily pointed at Yu Fang on the ground.


Yu Deming glanced over coldly, then said in an icy tone, "He brought this upon himself by offending the Priest's Holy Daughter. The divine wrath and punishment he received are well deserved!"


"If you truly want the divine to spare you, don't let even the slightest mishap occur in the ensuing process!"


He stared at everyone fiercely, his gaze seemed as if he would devour them.


Everyone was frightened by his terrifying expression and quickly nodded and bowed, promising there would be no more accidents.
