Chapter 749: Sacrifice ahead of schedule

The transaction went smoothly without any questioning or making things difficult, which made Yaeli's impression of his unattractive city lord much better.

After being politely sent out by the city lord, Angelin and Yaeli came to the outside of the city lord's mansion. The former also realized that he probably shouldn't let Yaeli come to the city lord.

What if the doctors called by the city lord can really solve Yaeli's sister's illness?

What to do then?

After her sister recovered, wouldn't she have even less reason to lure Yae Ri to the ship?

Sigh...I regret it, I really regret it.

Angelin was worried, but Yaeli was in a good mood and turned to look at her, "Then, it's time for me to go."

"So soon? No more days?"

Angeline wanted to persuade her to stay, "You have helped us a lot, and we really want to treat you to a meal or something..."

"No, you guys are enough."

Yaeli shook the small cloth bag, which was filled with rice balls and snacks from Europe that he had previously obtained from these Valkyries.

"Ahem...actually we still have many places to live..."

"Sister Angeline, it's really no need. I miss my lovely sisters a lot these days after being away from home."

"..."

Seeing what Yaeli said, Angelin had no choice but to send her to the city gate in person.

Looking at the sky, it was already very dark. After all, they had just arrived in the city today. Unexpectedly, Yaeli wanted to go back in such a hurry, not even thinking of spending the night in the city.

To be honest, Yaeli really wanted to set off tomorrow morning, but thinking about the monsters who had ruined their good deeds by him, he still felt that the sooner he left, the better. Who knew whether those monsters would hold grudges.

Before the monsters recovered, Yaeli thought about returning to Yae Village as soon as possible to avoid the risk of being intercepted by the monsters when setting out later.

Although it's not a big problem if he is intercepted, he can leave with his own speed, but it would be better to be more relaxed.

"Xiao Li, you are so beautiful, then your sister must also be very cute, right?"

Angelin sent Yae Li off for a while at the gate of the city.

"Of course, they are very cute children."

Yaeli was not only not happy when Angelin complimented him on her beauty, but was speechless. However, when he heard the other party complimenting his sisters, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Huh? Them?"

Angeline discovered the blind spot.

"Oh, I have two sisters."

Yaeli smiled.

"...Both sisters are sick?"

"That's not true, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave them alone in the village."

Yaeli shook his head. Anyway, he felt that even if Sakura was sick, Yaeji would not put more energy into them.

The position of family affection in that guy's heart is probably far inferior to the responsibilities that the position of the Eighth Level Divine Lord entails.

Thinking of this, Yaeli's desire to go home became even stronger, "That's it, I'm leaving. Thank you, sister, for what happened today."

"We should be the ones thanking you..."

She knew that Yaeli was talking about taking him to see the city lord, but Angelin felt that this was nothing compared to the life-saving grace.

Yaeli didn't speak anymore, and nodded slightly to Angelin who stopped to see her off, and the small figure disappeared into the increasingly dense night.

……

Yae Village.

A large number of people gathered in the side hall of Yae Shrine. They were all the patriarchs and senior officials of the major clans in Yae Village. However, there were also some young people beside them, who should be the children who should be cultivated in the future.

Yae Sakura was also inside. Wearing a miko uniform, she knelt down nervously next to her father, feeling the slight sense of oppression coming from her father. She listened to the noisy discussions in the hall like those in a vegetable market, and all she could think about was that My sister is still lying at home.

I haven't been back for so long, will something happen to her?

If the disease strikes again and she is not around, will Rin feel helpless?

It would be nice if my brother was here, so it wouldn't be my turn to accompany my father in this meeting...

"The sacrifice may have to be brought forward..."

"Yes, there is no water, and the livestock and food in the village have also been affected. Many people in the village are talking about this..."

"But the originally scheduled time..."

"Be flexible, old man. I believe that Lord Fox God also hopes that the children of the Weimen family can go over and accompany him as soon as possible..."

"Master Li hasn't come back yet..."

"It doesn't matter, the sacrifice does not require the presence of Mr. Li. Presumably, as the son of the Fox God, Mr. Li will not be angry even if he occasionally misses the meal..."

"Well, that makes sense..."

"Then who will perform the sacrifice this time?"

"..."

For a moment, many people turned their attention to the small figure next to the Eightfold God Lord, but they quickly dispersed.

Because the Eightfold God Lord said: "I will do it this time, and Sakura will be the one to perform the next sacrifice."

Yae Sakura suddenly felt invisible pressure on her heart, making her breathless.

He had no choice but to lower his head, put his hands on his knees, and hold the corners of his skirt tightly.

The meeting should have ended, but soon someone reported: "Lord God, Lord Li has returned."

"came back?"

Both the Lord Yae and the other families in the palace were surprised. They did not expect such a coincidence, and the time it took Yae Li to come and go seemed to be much less than before?

How could they know that Yaeli kept on traveling day and night in order to avoid being blocked by the monsters, so his speed was naturally faster than before.

elder brother!

After Yae Sakura heard the news, she couldn't help but screamed in surprise, and even the pressure on her body was relieved unconsciously.

In her eyes, as long as her brother is here, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

"What about others?"

Lord Yae summoned the messenger outside the door, who nervously spoke under the eyes of all the big shots: "Sir Li, he has already entered the shrine, and seems to be walking towards Rin...sama's room."

"...Go down."

The Eightfold Divine Master waved his hand and sent the messenger away.

The patriarch of one of the families grinned, showing the rotten teeth inside, "Since Mr. Li has arrived, let's set the time for the sacrifice. At noon tomorrow, everyone will gather in front of the main hall. How about it?"

"……So be it."

Lord Yae God waved his hand, and the meeting was completely over. He glanced at Yae Sakura beside him with indifferent eyes, who had long been unable to restrain himself, and said without emotion: "You can go, don't be late for tomorrow's sacrifice."

"...Yes, father."

Yae Sakura suddenly felt like her heart was poured with cold water again.
