Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2120: Chapter 2120: King of the Pirates (11)

Everyone started to kneel in fear and began chanting, pleading for the Sea God’s forgiveness.

Chuzheng stood amidst the bushes, perfectly hidden, yet able to see the scene outside.

Zhuang Ping was also kneeling nearby; having grown up on the island, he dared not do otherwise.

But...

Zhuang Ping couldn’t help but glance at Chuzheng. She had asked about the Sea God Temple earlier, and now the Sea God statue was missing...

"Miss, did you do this?" Zhuang Ping asked boldly.

"How heavy is the Sea God statue?" Chuzheng answered confidently. "I had to call you to help move a corpse; do you think I can move the Sea God statue by myself?"

Zhuang Ping: "..."

That seemed to make some sense.

The Sea God statue is huge and heavy; how could one person possibly move it? I must be overthinking.

-

Sea God Temple.

The Great Island Lord looked at the stone platform, where the Sea God statue was usually placed, and saw words written in blood.

—— Blood sacrifice, once every half month, each time half a bowl, rage, statue returns.

Below were small characters indicating a birth date and Eight Characters of a horoscope.

"Brother, this seems to be Xiuxiu’s birth date and Eight Characters," the Third Island Lord frowned.

The Great Island Lord had initially only focused on the large characters, overlooking the smaller ones. Once the Third Island Lord pointed them out, he looked over, feeling a jolt in his heart.

The Great Island Lord’s voice rose: "Old Third, what does this mean?"

Why is Xiuxiu’s birth date here? What does it mean?

Third Island Lord: "Blood sacrifice... every half month... it seems to mean Xiuxiu needs... to be sacrificed."

If taken literally, that’s what it means.

"This..." The Great Island Lord’s face turned grim, nervously asking, "Old Third, are you certain?"

The Third Island Lord nodded.

"Xiuxiu... why Xiuxiu? Could this be a mistake? Sea God..."

The Great Island Lord might have wanted to curse, but restraining himself because of the Sea God, he didn’t.

Xiuxiu is his only daughter, and even a breeze would’ve made him nervous.

Now they’re asking Xiuxiu to be sacrificed?

This can’t happen!

The Great Island Lord whispered to the Third Island Lord: "Could this be deliberate sabotage?"

Although the Third Island Lord had suspected this, he found it implausible upon reconsideration.

Cleansers had come the day before their worship, and the Sea God statue was still there at the time. They came early today, indicating that the statue was moved overnight, which is nearly impossible.

Those who travel at sea inevitably encounter strange, inexplicable things, so they actually believe more in supernatural explanations.

What would happen if they don’t comply?

The Great Island Lord gritted his teeth: "Do we really have to let Xiuxiu..."

The Third Island Lord looked toward others in the Sea God Temple; everyone had seen those words.

Even if someone didn’t know Xiuxiu’s birth date and Eight Characters, if investigated, eventually the truth would be revealed...

Chuzheng didn’t continue watching. Given the Great Island Lord’s concern for Ye Xiuxiu, he probably wouldn’t comply so easily.

Hence, she had to create a stormy sea drama in half a month; she needed to return to prepare.

-

Two days before the half-month deadline.

"People have been sent up there; will it work?" Zhuang Ping’s wife returned with him. "I’m anxious, feeling uneasy. What if Lord Sea God doesn’t protect us anymore?"

Zhuang Ping’s expression was somber; he didn’t respond to his wife but glanced toward Chuzheng.

She had specifically asked for Ye Xiuxiu’s birth date and Eight Characters, and now those appeared in the Sea God Temple...

Zhuang Ping’s dismissed doubts resurfaced.

Zhuang Ping’s wife continued, "That slave from the Zhou Family is pitiful, but if the Sea God returns, at least it’s..."

"What did you just say?"

Zhuang Ping’s wife was startled, stumbling over her words: "I-I said if the Sea God returns..."

"The sentence before that."

Zhuang Ping’s wife weakly replied, "That slave from the Zhou Family is pitiful?"

"Which slave?"

"I don’t know the name... Maybe he doesn’t have one. It’s the one always bullied by Zhou Feng... Hey, I told you, but you don’t know him either..."

Chuzheng: "..." Why does Good Person Card share the same birth date and Eight Characters with Ye Xiuxiu?

Bu Qing and Ye Xiuxiu were born at the same time, hence their birth dates and Eight Characters are the same.

Chuzheng hadn’t considered this at all...

Game over!

Chuzheng stormed to her feet: "Where is he?"

Zhuang Ping’s wife: "Sea... God Temple."

After Chuzheng left, Zhuang Ping’s wife clutched her husband: "What’s with her... so intimidating."

Zhuang Ping: "I’ll go take a look; you take care of Xiao Bao."

-

Not far from the Sea God Temple, many people were still kneeling, praying for the Sea God’s return.

Near the Sea God Temple itself, there weren’t many people, but guards were stationed at the entrance.

The temple door was wide open, allowing Chuzheng to see the scene inside at a glance.

Inside, a boy knelt on the ground, his complexion pale, his wrist hanging by his side wrapped in gauze, faintly stained with blood.

The air smelled of blood.

Chuzheng calmly surveyed the boy, her demeanor so composed that no trace of anger surfaced.

Besides Bu Qing, the Great Island Lord and Third Island Lord were inside, surrounded by several Pirates securing the Sea God Temple tightly.

"Great Island Lord, look!"

Suddenly a Pirate pointed, alarmed, at the platform where the blood was placed, and words slowly emerged on it.

The Great Island Lord and Third Island Lord were shocked, almost simultaneously moving closer, their eyes fixed on the appearing words.

"Virgin... maiden’s... blood..."

The Great Island Lord read out these words, his face filled with indescribable horror.

"Crash..."

The porcelain bowl suddenly dropped and shattered on the ground, blood splattering onto their hems.

"The Sea God is angry!" someone shouted, and everyone inside the temple knelt in fear.

The Great Island Lord and Third Island Lord did not kneel but bent forward.

Just now, when no one else was around, the bowl fell and shattered on its own – who else but the Sea God has such power?

The Great Island Lord’s heart dropped halfway.

He thought finding someone with matching Eight Characters, even if it was a slave, might appease the Sea God... but the Sea God refuses.

The island can’t produce a third match; it’s left only to his Xiuxiu...

"Who are you?" Suddenly, a guard shouted outside, followed by someone being thrown inside, hitting the ground with a heavy thud.

Those inside, still caught up in the Sea God’s anger, were slow to react to the sudden twist and looked outside.

A girl stepped over the threshold, stepping through the light slowly, her thin figure inexplicably towering.

Bu Qing turned his head, seeing such a scene.

"It’s you!" The Great Island Lord’s pupils contracted: "Capture her for me!"

After searching for so long without success, assuming she had died somewhere like a Medicine Person, now she appeared.

The Great Island Lord ordered, and the Pirates who were still kneeling exchanged glances, then simultaneously rose to seize Chuzheng.

The girl stood there, her eyes cold like frost; those charging at her seemed to move in slow motion, needing no caution.

As they neared, she lightly lifted her hand and waved, sending them flying simultaneously.
