Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The Great Sacrifice (3)_1

"You are not afraid, I see," Shi Jun said to Dugu Qianye.

Dugu Qianye had been aware of Shi Jun’s arrival from the start and looked at him, "We meet again."

"Oh? Have we met before?" Shi Jun was surprised by Dugu Qianye’s words. How could he not remember meeting her? If it weren’t for Shi Nan asking him to personally take Dugu Qianye, he would not have moved about the Divine Temple.

"Of course," Dugu Qianye said, "That meeting has left a deep impression on me to this day."

"When did we meet?" Shi Jun simply could not recall meeting such a person.

"Of course, you don’t remember," Dugu Qianye said, "because I was only a few years old then."

"Are you trying to establish a connection with me so that I will let you leave? That’s not possible. Now, you need to follow me," Shi Jun said.

Dugu Qianye smiled and did not continue speaking as Shi Jun led her out of the cell, through a secret passage to beneath the altar.

Along the way, Dugu Qianye observed closely and noticed that the secret passage twisted and turned, with many side passages, likely spreading throughout the entire Holy Sea City.

Shi Jun led Dugu Qianye to a stone chamber beneath the altar, where Shi Nan was conversing with Huagui, and Shen Wanqing sat in a corner, her face ashen, struggling not to cry or show fear.

"Have you brought her?" asked Shi Nan, "Was she seen by anyone?"

"I handle things well, you can rest assured," Shi Jun said with a smile, then pulled Dugu Qianye from a dark corner, "She’s here."

"Aren’t we only supposed to need a maiden as the sacrifice? Why bring this boy?" Shi Jun asked Shi Nan.

"It’s the Divine Master’s will," Shi Nan replied.

"The Divine Master?" Shi Jun said with interest, "Why would the Divine Master want this boy as a sacrifice? Could it be because he finds her too attractive, and his love unrequited he has become spiteful, wishing her to be devoured by Huagui, so that she may never be reborn?"

Shi Nan looked at Dugu Qianye, then at Shi Jun, "The will of the Divine Master is not something we can speculate about. Keep talking nonsense, and you might be punished by the Divine Master."

"I was just talking," Shi Jun said with a pout.

"Don’t forget what the Divine Master sent us down here to do," Shi Nan said sternly.

"I haven’t forgotten. To be able to descend in the flesh, we’ve wasted our cultivation and taken on these mortal forms; how could I forget," Shi Jun said.

"Then talk less and do more. Now, go check on what’s happening outside," Shi Nan said with a cold face.

Shi Jun mumbled something but still left.

Dugu Qianye, listening to the conversation between Shi Jun and Shi Nan, was secretly shocked to realize they were not from the Xuanyue Continent. And to think that making her a sacrifice was the Divine Master’s idea. She must have learned that she is Mo Qiushui’s daughter.

Shi Nan looked at Dugu Qianye, "Behave and everyone can live in peace. Otherwise..."

Ignoring Shi Nan, Dugu Qianye found a spot and sat down. Seeing Shi Nan, Dugu Qianye had already managed to control her emotions well. Even though she was initially afraid, now that her spirit resided within, everything else was in the past!

After seeing Dugu Qianye sit down without speaking, Shi Nan went into the next room to continue talking with Huagui.

"How much longer before I can go out?" Huagui asked Shi Nan.

"It’ll be ready soon."

"You said ’soon’ last time, and yet I’ve been waiting for so long! If it happens again this time, I’ll just leave, and I won’t care about whatever Divine Temple you have."

"Okay."

After Shi Nan entered, Dugu Qianye came to Shen Wanqing’s side and said, "Are you the ’demoness’ they speak of?"

Shen Wanqing glanced at Dugu Qianye and said, "What, surprised to see me here?"

"A bit surprised," Dugu Qianye admitted. "I didn’t expect the person from Shen Xingzong to even sacrifice their own daughter, tsk tsk."

"You know?!" Shen Wanqing gasped when Dugu Qianye revealed her identity. "How do you know?"

"How I know is none of your concern." Dugu Qianye replied. "Speaking of which, your composure has already surprised me. If it were someone else, they would be raging against heaven and earth right now. You look pale, of course; if I were you, I’d feel the same. Here, take this calming pill."

Dugu Qianye took out an elixir and handed it to Shen Wanqing. Shen Wanqing looked at the dark elixir but didn’t take it, saying, "What’s the point of eating this now?"

Seizing the moment Shen Wanqing was distracted, Dugu Qianye swiftly popped the elixir into her mouth, then clapped her hands and said, "Just eat it when I tell you to. Why the fuss?"

"Cough cough, cough cough."

Shen Wanqing hadn’t anticipated Dugu Qianye’s move and started coughing uncontrollably.

"What, cough, are you doing?!" Shen Wanqing choked out angrily at Dugu Qianye.

Ignoring Shen Wanqing’s anger, Dugu Qianye said, "You do look better when you’re a bit angry. Just now, you looked as if your father had died. Alright, the elixir I just fed you is definitely good stuff. I didn’t even charge you for it, so what’s there to be unhappy about? If I sold my elixirs outside, they would fetch at least ten thousand Gold Coins each. I gave it to you for free."

Having said that, Dugu Qianye returned to her original spot, closed her eyes, and paid Shen Wanqing no more heed. Shen Wanqing was fuming with anger, but the sorrow of being abandoned in her heart had lessened a bit.

The elixir Dugu Qianye had just fed her was to neutralize the Light Star Grass. Although Shi Nan wasn’t outside, he was constantly keeping an eye on the two women’s situation and had to employ such methods to feed her the elixir. It was her way of repaying Shen Wanqing for the warning she had given her before.

"Keke, it smells so awful here," Little Baiqiu, who Dugu Qianye had ordered not to speak, communicated to Dugu Qianye through thoughts.

"Keke, this is the worst smell ever."

"You must be smelling Huagui’s scent. Just bear with it for a little longer. Once we deal with it, it’ll be fine. Here, smell this fresh flower," Dugu Qianye said as she took out a dewy fresh flower and put it in front of Little Baiqiu.

"Okay, then. I will just put up with it," Little Baiqiu said, holding the big flower up to its head.

"Pfft—" Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Little Baiqiu, its head completely obscured by the flower, drawing Shen Wanqing’s curious glance.

Shi Jun returned and saw the large flower in Dugu Qianye’s arms, along with a chubby belly.

"What’s that in your arms?" Shi Jun inquired.

"My Contract Beast likes to wear a fresh flower. Why, you’re not going to forbid me from doing even this, are you?" Dugu Qianye responded.

Shi Nan came out, glanced at Dugu Qianye, then turned to Shi Jun and asked, "How are things outside?"

"Everything is proceeding according to plan. The ritual sacrifice is nearly finished, and it will soon be our turn." Shi Jun reported the situation to Shi Nan, and also made sure Dugu Qianye and Shen Wanqing heard, "Little ones, you can enjoy the last few minutes of your life. Do you have any last wishes? Speak them out; if grandfather Jun is in a good mood, perhaps he might help you accomplish them."
