Chapter 38 Chapter 38
"Those fishermen deserve death!" Jingwei said through gritted teeth.

"Little Jingwei, don't be angry..." Mirage jumped onto Jingwei's shoulder, comforting him.

"Yiyi? Miss? If you listen to the following story, you will know why I hate these fishermen so much..." Jingwei took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and began to give Nangongyi and Bai Ze told about himself, what he saw and heard after he came to the mortal world.

Jingwei came to this fishing village from the fairyland to take refuge. He turned into a hummingbird and hid in the earth temple on the mountain behind the fishing village.

There is a ten-thousand-year-old tan in this land temple, which blooms only on the night of the full moon when the tide is the worst every year.

The local ignorant fishermen believed that the annual tidal shipwreck was related to Gutan, but they did not dare to eradicate Gutan easily, fearing that the mountain god and sea god would get angry and launch a bigger disaster.

So the village head suggested that on the full moon day of every month, those pure children should be sacrificed to quell the disaster.

"I... interrupt..." Nangongyi raised his right hand and looked at Jingwei as if he raised his hand to speak when he was a child.

"Please tell me..." Jingwei nodded.

"Well, are these sacrificial children mostly girls?"

"How did you know?"

"Sure enough... Patriarchy has been going on since ancient times, hey..." Nangong Yi sighed helplessly, "It's really stupid! The tide is a natural phenomenon, how can it be calmed down by sacrificing one or two children?"

"Tide? A natural phenomenon?" Jingwei looked at Nangongyi in a daze, completely unable to understand her terms.

"Xiao Jingwei, Xiao Yiyi often says things that we don't understand, just get used to it..." Bai Ze smoothed things over.

"Hey, you don't know, the fishing village also said that the shipwreck was caused by me..." Mirage said innocently, "How do they know! How many storms and waves have I blocked for them for thousands of years! Otherwise, How could they live on the beach?"

"Uh, what about the children they sacrificed? They were all for you, right?" Nangong Yi asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely not! I am a mortal beast! I will never eat mortal children! This is absolutely unacceptable misrepresentation!" The mirage beast tried its best to defend itself.

"Okay, okay, I believe you... In fact, these fishermen are just using the banner of sacrifice to abandon girls who they think have no labor force!" Nangong Yi gritted her teeth.

Abandoning baby girls is really a "good custom" since ancient times!

"By the way, Jingwei, then... what happened to those discarded, ah no, sacrificed girls?" Nangongyi asked worriedly.

"For more than half a year, I have been sent to those big families who couldn't ask for a child... Before..." Jingwei hesitated to speak.

"I can't help... Most of the girls were taken away by the monsters and beasts in the mountains. Some of them may have been buried in the belly of the beasts, and a few were raised by the beasts, and they failed to resist the injuries and disasters and passed away..." the mirage beast said sadly.

Hearing what Jingwei and Mirage said, Nangongyi felt that he was really stupid to help the villagers just now...

"Self-inflicted! You can't live!" Bai Ze also stomped his feet angrily, "Xiao Yiyi, let's go and pull out Gu Tan right away! Eh? No? Little Jingwei? When we first arrived at the hill, you transformed into Master Zuodi told us that Gu Tan was taken away by Jingwei? So..."

Step by step, Bai Ze approached Jingwei.

"Bai Ze Divine Beast, the little beast knows it's wrong, I shouldn't have fooled you..." Jing Wei knelt down in front of Bai Ze again, and bowed to him, "Gu Tan is fine, and he grew up in the Earth Temple. Mirage and I The beast just lied to you because it was afraid that you would interfere with our plan... the little beast knew it was wrong!"
