Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense swept over, silently scanning that piece of Blood Jade.

In an instant, he sensed a thick Blood Qi.

It was human blood!

"This isn't real Blood Jade at all."

"It's fake Blood Jade made by soaking human blood."

"What?"

Zhang Daoxuan was stunned at first, then his expression darkened: "Bi Bo Jun is a Water God; how could He not tell?"

Xu Zhangqing said firmly: "He of course could tell."

Zhang Daoxuan was shocked: "Then why didn't He get angry?"

Xu Zhangqing put it plainly: "The world thinks this Bi Bo Jun loves fine jade."

"But in truth, what He truly enjoys is playing with people's hearts."

A Water God in charge of Ba Bai Li Bi Bo Hu—how could He not tell this was a piece of fake jade?

Yet He believed it anyway.

And even made a Commitment.

From this, it's clear that loving fine jade was just a facade.

In reality, He just wanted to see how crazy these mortals would get to curry favor with Him!

Now it seems the Bi Tribe obviously succeeded.

Therefore, what Bi Bo Jun truly finds Satisfying is this.

Zhang Daoxuan couldn't wait: "If so, let's act now."

"Opportunities are Seldom; once He enters the Water, it won't be easy to finish Him off."

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "No, we can't move!"

"Why?"

Zhang Daoxuan raised his brows: "You killed someone like Xi Bo, so this Bi Bo Jun daring to make human Blood Jade naturally deserves death even more!"

"He deserves death, but not now."

Xu Zhangqing glanced at him: "If you go out now to kill a god, what do you think those kneeling people will do?"

Zhang Daoxuan, hearing this, looked at the Square again.

Bi Bo Jun stood in the center of the crowd, Blood Jade floating in His palm.

Everyone was kowtowing.

All were giving thanks.

All were trembling with excitement over the Commitment of "Feng Tiao Yu Shun."

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "Once we act, they will absolutely be the first to rush up and fight us to the death!"

Zhang Daoxuan fell silent.

"Xi Bo tore off the fig leaf, so killing him, mortals would only applaud."

Xu Zhangqing explained: "But Bi Bo Jun is different; He gave these people dignity."

"Gave these people order, gave these people Feng Tiao Yu Shun."

"This Fellow's only desire is a piece of fine jade."

"In the eyes of the tribe members, what is that?"

"It's nothing at all!"

Even more, once the two of them acted against this Bi Bo Jun, they would instead become villains, Sinners, and scoundrels in the eyes of the tribe members.

Zhang Daoxuan felt some Unwillingness and pressed: "If not killing a god, then kill what?"

Xu Zhangqing was silent for A While, then answered: "Kill people."

Gods do no evil, but people do evil themselves.

And sometimes, people are more evil than gods.

Desire cannot be stopped; instead, it only grows Swollen.

"Xi Bo deserves death; killing him is just killing him!"

"But Bi Bo Jun cannot be moved; hundreds of thousands of mortals on both banks rely on Him for their Meal!"

"Once He dies, order on the lake collapses; people who today enjoy Feng Tiao Yu Shun will tomorrow kill each other over water and fish!"

After A While, the sacrifice ended.

Bi Bo Jun turned around full of Satisfaction, then walked toward the lake surface.

The fake Blood Jade hovered in His palm, rising and falling Lightly with His Movement.

In the crowd, someone let out a sob, but was immediately pressed down by those nearby.

"Thank the god!"

"Thank Bi Bo Jun's grace!"

"Thank Bi Bo Jun's protection!"

Immediately after, the people of the Bi Tribe on this side began to cheer excitedly.

The Bo Tribe's sacrificial ship began to turn around amid the cheers.

The blue flag on the ship fluttered uncertainly in the wind.

"Next year!"

The Female Witch leaned in close, her gaze gloomy as she dropped a ruthless line: "Our Bo Tribe will definitely produce even better Water Jade, and it will be ten times better than Blood Jade!"

No matter how unwilling she felt in her heart, this year she had lost.

Not only that, Bi Bo Jun's various promises from before would also be cancelled.

As for this, the people on the Bi Tribe's side didn't have the slightest response.

They directly ignored it!

……

……

Night fell quickly.

Bonfires lit up one cluster after another, illuminating the entire tribe.

When the Moon rose, Xu Zhangqing and Zhang Daoxuan moved.

They went to the jade miners' side first.

These people lived in low shacks at the northernmost part of the tribe.

The walls were built from gravel from the riverbank mixed with yellow mud, the roof covered with dried aquatic plants, and a few strands of dim yellow firelight leaked through the wall cracks.

Outside the shacks were piled full of tools used for mining jade.

Vine-woven baskets.

Iron chisels.

Hemp ropes.

Wooden wedges used to prop up the cave walls.

The Door was ajar, leaving a gap.

The people inside, at this moment, still hadn't slept.

Zhang Daoxuan leaned against the Gate, his gaze sweeping around the shack.

Inside the house, twenty-odd jade miners lay haphazardly, male and female, old and young, the smallest only just over ten years old.

On their bodies, almost not a single patch of intact Skin could be seen.

If not old scars then fresh wounds, the air perpetually filled with a pungent smell of Blood and herbal medicine mixed together.

"We survived this year, but what about next year?"

"What Blood Jade, aren't they all us……"

"Hush! Don't let the Male Shaman and Clan Leader hear!"

Without Xu Zhangqing and Zhang Daoxuan needing to actively ask, they themselves spoke out the answer.

The so-called Blood Jade is made by taking the transparent Jade Stone from the mountain, adding the jade miners' Blood, and finally soaking it out.

The more people die, the larger and more real the Blood Jade becomes.

Precisely because of this, in just under a year, the jade miners went from over two hundred before to twenty-odd now, and still decreasing.

Zhang Daoxuan's gaze sank, he transmitted his voice: "As expected!"

Xu Zhangqing pointed to the Left Side: "Go, let's go see the Male Shaman and Clan Leader!"

The Male Shaman's House was much larger than the surrounding people's, and much more exquisite.

Even the Clan Leader's House was a head shorter than his.

The two relied on Divine Sense and hearing to listen to the dialogue inside the house clearly.

The Clan Leader's voice resounded: "Sir, your plan is truly marvelous!

Originally thought, this year we'd lose to the Bo Tribe again.

Never expected the Blood Jade would appear, and the Female Witch's Face turned green.

Bi Bo Jun, even more, agreed on the spot to the promise of three tenths output.

From now on, if we offer such fine jade year after year, what does our Bi Tribe have to worry about?

From here on, favorable weather and good harvests, forever full granaries and fat fish!"

"Enough."

The Male Shaman's voice resounded, without a trace of emotion: "Offering jade is fine, but we cannot offer it year after year.

Blood Jade doesn't fall from the sky, how much Blood can one jade miner have?

A mere human life, how big a jade can float out?

This year's batch is dead, next year you want more, what will you give?"

"Sir overthinks."

The Clan Leader hurriedly mediated: "If jade miners aren't enough, we'll recruit from outside.

You forgot, how many wild outsiders are on both shores of Bi Bo Hu?

How many people, digging for food everywhere like wild dogs?

As long as we spread word that the Bi Tribe takes people in, food and lodging provided, afraid they won't come!"

To this, the Male Shaman didn't respond.

"When the time comes, we'll have as many as we want."

The Clan Leader's voice lowered, yet couldn't suppress that excitement: "Outsiders, even if they die out completely, no one will care!"
