Chapter 199: Lei Niao Arrives (Please Subscribe!!)

To make this group remember for a long time, Jiang Yan's torment lasted a full day.

Every time this group could no longer endure and was about to die, a small vine would pierce their bodies, replenishing their vitality.

Jiang Yan did not have People's Ideas of killing this group.

After all, there were children like A Lu present.

Would he slaughter these people right in front of a child?

Jiang Yan worried it would leave an indelible shadow in A Lu's mind.

And the reason Jiang Yan tormented these people so was simply to make them remember.

As long as they dared to continue such sacrifices, this terrifying scene from today would echo.

By evening, Jiang Yan lowered this group down.

Immediately, a deep voice rang in the ears of these villagers.

"This time, considering your ignorance and stupidity, I spare your lives."

"If you dare to commit such inhuman live sacrifices again, I will make you suffer torment for eternity!"

The villagers knelt in terror on the ground, bowing their heads repeatedly.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, my lord, for sparing our lives!!"

"We will never dare again!!"

This group had been scared out of their wits; after a day of torment, both their bodies and minds were on the brink of collapse.

"This serves as punishment; in the future, I will continue to observe this place."

"I will take this child away, and as for you, take care of yourselves."

Having finished speaking, Jiang Yan grabbed A Lu, whose eyes were covered by vines, and then the Great Buddha began to disassemble on the spot, vanishing.

"God... it really is a god..."

The village chief's gaze was vacant, and he looked somewhat mad.

Even a young person would struggle to endure such torment from Jiang Yan.

Let alone an elder like the village chief?

Clearly, his mental world had collapsed.

But this was the punishment Jiang Yan bestowed upon him.

After taking A Lu away, Jiang Yan met up with Lei Dianying on the hillside.

"Was that giant you just made?"

Seeing Jiang Yan return with A Lu, Lei Dianying knew that the wooden giant that had suddenly appeared was Jiang Yan.

Since there are no Buddhas in this world, Lei Dianying merely thought it was a giant of peculiar design.

"Mm, how was it? Very cool, right?"

Jiang Yan said with a smile, holding A Lu.

"Yes, just now I almost thought another demon god had come to cause trouble."

Lei Dianying nodded seriously.

"Huh? Big brother? Big sister?"

"Why is A Lu here?"

After Jiang Yan removed the vines covering A Lu's eyes, A Lu cautiously opened them.

Just now, after suddenly being covered, he heard the screams of Grandpa Village Chief and others.

What child has ever heard such frightening wails? Fear had filled his heart.

Until he opened his eyes again and saw the gentle big brother and the quiet big sister from yesterday.

"A Lu, do you know what these people were about to do to you just now?"

Jiang Yan said seriously to A Lu.

He had to make this child remember for a long time.

Really, he was about to be sacrificed and didn't even try to resist.

Although, it seems a child's resistance wouldn't be of much use anyway.

"I know, Grandpa Village Chief wanted to sacrifice me to my lord Lei Niao so that I could be with my lord Lei Niao forever!"

A Lu's innocent nature prevented him from realizing what sacrifice truly was.

In a child's mind, he was already friends with Lei Niao, so being with my lord Lei Niao forever was naturally acceptable.

"Then do you know what your fate would be?"

Jiang Yan continued asking.

"Of course, to live with my lord Lei Niao forever?"

"I am friends with my lord Lei Niao; I suppose it won't mind."

A Lu said with a smile.

Jiang Yan directly slapped his forehead.

Sometimes, he truly admired a child's innocence.

"Since that is the case, then I will shatter this ridiculous innocence of yours."

Jiang Yan spoke calmly, sitting cross-legged, looking at A Lu with a serious expression.

For the time that followed, Jiang Yan carefully explained to A Lu what sacrifice was.

What worship was.

And what his parents and Grandpa Village Chief wanted to do to him.

Time quickly passed into the night.

Ah Liu's eyes were vacant.

Clearly, Jiang Yan's words had delivered a significant shock to him.

Thinking that if Jiang Yan had not saved him, he would have faced being cut into a thousand pieces and died with his blood drained away.

Fear flashed in Ah Liu's eyes.

"But... but if we don't do this, what if Lord Lei Niao gets angry?"

Ah Liu hesitated, worried that Lord Lei Niao would be displeased because he had not performed the sacrifice.

"How could that be? Aren't you and Lei Niao friends?"

Jiang Yan patted Ah Liu's head and said with a smile.

"Would you ask your friend to offer up their life for you and be eaten by you?"

Ah Liu shook his head violently.

Even a child would not easily joke with their friend's life.

"Then isn't that settled?"

"I imagine Lei Niao does not want you to sacrifice yourself to it either?"

"When it arrives, you can go ask it."

Jiang Yan rubbed Ah Liu's soft, tender cheeks; he finally understood why Lady Guizhong and that group of female immortals like Liu Yun had loved to rub his face so much during his Juvenile Stage.

A child's face is so bouncy!

It feels amazing to squeeze!

Jiang Yan also fell in love with the feeling of squeezing a child's face.

"But... when will Lord Lei Niao arrive?"
