I was beaten solidly by Tang Feifei and her followers on the road for five minutes, but she still wasn't satisfied. Instead, she ordered her henchmen to tie me up tightly and bind me into the ancestral hall, threatening to enforce family rules in the name of the future Priestess!
Normally, there would be many people guarding the ancestral hall, but because today is the Fire God's wedding day, everyone went to the sacrificial site, leaving only a ninety-year-old woman to guard the hall.
"The Fire God is getting married, let's hope the sacrifice ends with blessings of favorable weather for our village!"
The old woman knelt at the entrance of the hall, hands clasped, praying towards the direction of the sacrificial site in the west of the village.
But in the next moment, she saw me, the Fire God Bride, being tied up and brought over by Tang Feifei and her group. I was covered in injuries, and the Fire God wedding dress, hand-embroidered by the women of the entire village, had already been taken off me and was full of holes.
It's over!
Seeing this scene, the old woman's eyes widened instantly.
"Crazy! Are you all crazy? Don't you know Xiaoyu is our Fire God Bride this year!"
Speaking these words, the old woman dragged her failing body forward to shake her head and rebuke Tang Feifei, her eyes filled with despair.
Tang Feifei heard this and instantly flew into a rage, hands on hips, she yelled insults at the old woman.
"You old hag, are you blind? I'm the bride! And I'm the daughter-in-law of the High Priest!"
The old woman was too scared to approach, merely helplessly anxious on the side.
"Such wickedness! The bride is in distress, the village will face serious trouble!"
"The High Priest, wise for a lifetime, why did he choose such a bold brat as a daughter-in-law, offending the Fire God! The village is doomed for disaster!"
Tang Feifei sneered coldly: "Stop using these fictional Fire God and Water God tales to scare me!"
"You're just an old dog guarding the hall, how dare you point fingers at me, get out of here!"
Unable to stand the old woman's noise, Tang Feifei directly ordered Tang Xue to take the followers and chase the old woman out of the ancestral hall.
Looking at the hall's tightly closed doors, the old woman seemed to lose all her vitality in an instant.
"The bride is beaten, the wedding dress destroyed, the Fire God will surely punish the whole village!"
"It's over!"
She kept muttering that it's over, it's all over, then woodenly dragged her body towards the sacrificial site in the west of the village.
