The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 388 Abolish Bad Habits
The old priest looked at his apprentice's cold face and inwardly cursed his bad luck.

He was afraid the girl wouldn't be able to accept it, so he deliberately didn't tell her that a live cub was needed as a sacrifice.

He even specifically instructed the orcs to cover the cage.

After the ceremony, just have someone quietly sink the cage into the water.

Under his apprentice's watchful eye, he could only bite the bullet and answer, "Girl, these are offerings. It's the same custom every year. We choose a pair of strong cubs to sacrifice to the Beast God, praying for the tribe's prosperity and safe hunting..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Xiyue interrupted him coldly: "Who made this rule? Using live cubs as sacrifices, even the Beast God wouldn't allow it. Master, you're supposed to be a priest, how could you do something so cruel?"

She looked at the trembling cubs in the cage, their terrified and helpless eyes piercing her heart like needles.

The hazy fragments of the ritual in the original owner's memory instantly became clear.

Aside from the initial period after I transmigrated, when I was unfamiliar with this world and had looked through the original owner's memories a few times, I haven't really looked through them since, and I don't pay much attention to them anymore.

Her anger surged, and she looked at all the beastmen present, ignoring their strange looks, and shouted: "The Beast God is benevolent and blesses all things. How could he need to sacrifice the flesh and blood of innocent cubs to please him? Such a barbaric practice shall be abolished from this day forward."

"Girl."

The old priest grew anxious and lowered his voice, "This is a rule passed down from our ancestors. If we suddenly abolish it, the Beast God will punish us, and we cannot bear the consequences. You see..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Suppressed sobs could be heard from the crowd below the altar.

A female, her eyes red, rushed out and tried to pounce on the cage.

But her orc partner behind her held her tightly: "Don't be foolish, sacrificing to the Beast God is an honor, the Beast God will protect us..."

"But that's the child I gave birth to with so much difficulty..."

The female sobbed uncontrollably, her eyes turning red and swollen.

Many of the females present with cubs had tears in their eyes and began to sob softly.

In previous years, their biggest fear during the spring festival was that their own cubs would be chosen.

Once chosen, one can only become a sacrifice to the beast god.

No matter how reluctant they are, they cannot change it.

This is the rule of the tribe, and also the rule of the entire Beast World continent.

The surrounding orcs looked at her with a mixture of awe and disbelief, finding Su Xiyue's behavior strange.

They couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"So what if he's the Beast God's messenger? Rules are rules..."

"Yes, it's like this every year, why are you suddenly saying it can't be done?"

"What if the Beast God gets angry, the prey decreases, and the plague returns?"

“But… what the envoy said makes sense, that brat looks so pitiful…”

……

Su Lie frowned deeply, as if he could trap a fly in his brow.

He was extremely puzzled by his daughter's unusually strong reaction.

Yue'er grew up in the tribe and has participated in countless sacrificial ceremonies. In previous years, she would sometimes show some reluctance.

But never before has there been such vehement public opposition, with some even directly condemning it as a "bad habit."

This is too unusual.
His gaze swept over the faces of his seven sons-in-law: Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, and Xuan Yuan Ming.

They were not surprised at all; on the contrary, they seemed to understand and support them.

His brows furrowed even deeper as a thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be... that the Beast God conveyed a new message through the moon?
Yes, that must be the case.

The moon is a messenger; her transformation must have been due to new revelations from the Beast God.

This thought instantly overwhelmed all his doubts.

He had never considered the possibility that his daughter had a heart transplanted into her body.

It's not that he hadn't thought about it, but he suppressed it subconsciously.

Just as doubts began to rise and the situation started to get out of control.

Ye Ling suddenly stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over all the beastmen present. Her voice was icy: "Yue'er is the messenger chosen by the Beast God. Her words are divine pronouncements. To question the messenger is to question the Beast God."

His body emanated a chilling aura, causing the temperature of the entire altar to drop sharply.

The orcs present couldn't help but shudder.

Mo Lin simply uttered a cold sentence: "If Yue'er says it's a bad habit, then it is a bad habit."

His deep eyes swept across the crowd, and the invisible pressure instantly silenced the noise.

Bai Qi still wore a gentle smile, but his voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "Everything in the world has its cause and effect. Exchanging the life of a cub for blessings is not only a sin that cannot please the gods, but will also damage the tribe's fortune and bring disaster."

He spoke these words to both the orcs present and the old priest.

He was also speaking to himself.

Ever since learning that her fortune had plummeted from purple-gold to red, she had become even more convinced of cause and effect. With her emerald green eyes, Qingzhu glanced indifferently at the old priest, whose face was flushed, and her cool voice carried its usual sarcasm: "Priest, you've presided over sacrifices for decades, and all you've learned is to use the blood of your cubs to appease a phantom? If the Beast God truly craves blood, how is he any different from a ferocious beast? Stubborn and unyielding."

"The old rules about farting."

Xuanming's fiery temper exploded. Pointing at the cage, he roared, "Using a living cub to fill the stomach of that unseen and intangible Beast God? I'll be the first to object. Old man, I think you're getting more and more senile as you get older."

Feng Su flicked her fiery red sleeves, her peach blossom eyes seemingly smiling but not quite, her tone carrying a deeper meaning: "Priest, times have changed. The Beast God has given Yue'er a new order: from now on, there will be no need for cubs as sacrifices."

Xuan Yuanming did not speak, but his dark golden eyes were fixed on the old priest, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

A silent threat is more oppressive than any words, as if saying: You dare touch that brat?

The seven top-tier beastmen, with their clear stances and powerful auras, instantly enveloped the entire altar, silencing all doubts and whispers.

The old priest was speechless with anger, his beard bristling.

His gaze swept over Ye Ling and the other seven, and he cursed silently to himself:
That's the rule across the entire Beast World Continent. I've never seen you react this strongly in previous years. Now that this girl says no, you all jump out to criticize the old man.

But everyone's arguments were reasonable and well-founded, and since this girl was the messenger of the Beast God, he couldn't very well refute them.

He could only stand aside with a dark expression, letting her do whatever she wanted. He could just ignore it, right?
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Xiyue stepped forward, lifted the cage, and took out the two trembling wolf cubs.

The two cubs were clearly terrified, and kept burrowing into her arms, their wet noses rubbing against her chest.

"From now on, the wolf tribe will use grains and prey as offerings."

Her gaze swept over all the beastmen present, her voice clear and bright, "The Beast God cherishes his people, how could he bear to devour his cubs? If there truly is a calamity..."

She secretly made a hand seal, and countless vines instantly sprouted from the ground, creating a sea of ​​flowers around the altar. She continued, "Then I, Su Xiyue, will take full responsibility."

All the orcs stared blankly at the incredibly beautiful sea of ​​flowers surrounding the altar, their expressions filled with shock.

There was a moment of silence, followed by a burst of loud cheers.

Yes, the Beast God is merciful, so why would he really need to sacrifice innocent cubs to obtain so-called blessings?
The parents of the cubs scrambled up the altar, took the cubs while crying, and knelt down to kowtow.

Su Xiyue quickly stopped them, reached out and pulled the two up, said a few words of comfort, and asked them to leave.

He then turned to the old priest with a dark expression and asked, "Master, shall we continue with the procedure?"

The old priest twitched his mustache and angrily flicked his sleeve: "You little brat, you've already released the offerings, what's the point of following the procedures?"

"Master, you are mistaken. Isn't this a sacrificial offering?"

She smiled and pointed to the various offerings placed on the altar.

Fresh prey, freshly picked wild fruits, and jars of newly brewed fruit wine.

The old priest glared at her, turned his back, and pretended not to hear.

It's clear they don't intend to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

Su Xiyue knew that she had embarrassed the old man today, and he was angry.

She didn't mind, stood back on the altar, and began to recite the sacrificial text aloud.

Fortunately, she had memorized the process, so she wasn't worried about making mistakes.

After the sacrificial ceremony.

Su Xiyue returned to her small courtyard.

Ye Ling and the others followed behind her, their expressions varied.

"Yue'er."

Bai Qi suddenly spoke up, "You did very well today."

She turned to look at him and smiled faintly, "I just did what I was supposed to do."

Bai Qi's expression was complicated. "Actually, I've wanted to abolish this bad habit for a long time. I mentioned it to my father before, but he scolded me and said it was disrespectful to the Beast God."

Su Xiyue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "You are now the Beast King of Beast King City, why don't you just issue an order to abolish it?"

Bai Qi shook his head with a wry smile: "Although Beast King City rules over the lower regions, the sacrificial traditions of each tribe are deeply rooted. Today, your public breaking of the rules in the Wolf Tribe is a good opportunity."

As he spoke, he took out a Beast King's Token from his pocket and summoned the Beast King City's secret guards who were always on standby.

He handed the Beast King's Decree to the other party and solemnly ordered, "By my decree, from this day forward, the barbaric practice of using live cubs as sacrifices shall be abolished in Beast King City and all its subordinate tribes. Anyone who disobeys shall be punished for treason."

"Yes, Beast King."

The guard accepted the order, and in a flash, disappeared from the spot.

Feng Su's eyes flashed slightly, and he summoned the Phoenix Clan guards hidden in the shadows. He then ordered in a deep voice: "By order of the clan leader, the Phoenix Clan and its affiliated clans shall immediately abolish the barbaric practice of sacrificing live cubs. Those who violate this rule shall be expelled from the clan and never allowed to return."

He then gave the guard a token.

"Yes, patriarch."

The guard accepted the token, took his orders, and disappeared into the sky as a streak of fire.

Xuanyuan Ming stood aside with his arms crossed and sneered, "The Dragon Clan never does this kind of thing when worshipping their ancestors."

It's not that we don't want to, but dragon cubs are precious and rare, with a very low birth rate to begin with.

How could it possibly be used as a sacrificial offering?
