Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 196 Tucker Desert

The two of them were taken to the Tucker Desert by the butler along with a group of girls captured from Hope City.

Fortunately, they had just met once, and the middle-aged man had a very good impression of Yao Yingying. After all, the Yao family was generous with gifts, and money could make the world go round.

"Hey! Where did this country girl come from? Looking at her poor appearance, is she worthy of traveling with me?"

Looking at Yao Yingying approaching, the other human woman next to the deacon had a look of disdain on her face, as if Yao Yingying was a piece of trash, so disgusting that people wanted to stay away from her!

"You are a wild girl. I am a priest appointed by the Queen herself. How can you humiliate me?" Yao Yingying said arrogantly with her hands on her waist.

"You are such an ignorant country girl. The Snake People select priests from various towns for their annual sacrificial ceremony. With the scale of this year, there must be at least eighty of them, if not a hundred. Do you really think you can reach the top in one step? You will only sink deeper into the mud!" The woman said calmly.

Yao Yingying's face was filled with fear. If there weren't a hundred, there must be at least eighty of them. Wasn't she just one of them?

"Stop bluffing! This is everyone's first time here, so who knows more than who? You're just talking nonsense!"

"What a naive country girl! I've been there several times!"

Yao Yingying was surprised when she heard this. She looked her up and down carefully, but couldn't see anything different from a normal woman. She asked in confusion, "Then why are you still alive?"

The woman obviously didn't expect that the girl in front of her who came from a small place like Hope City would speak so directly. She was immediately filled with anger and shame, and was speechless. She immediately glared at her coldly and fiercely, turned around and left, no longer paying any attention to her!

"Why did she leave suddenly?" Yao Yingying pointed at the departing figure in confusion, turned her head to look at the snakeman's deacon, and asked doubtfully.

"Uh... the question about the priest... is indeed surprising!" The middle-aged man was already sweating coldly. He had wanted to stop the conflict between the woman and Yao Yingying as early as when he had the conflict, but the priest's status was higher than his.

The little girl Yao Yingying was easy to talk to and could understand a thing or two, but the woman who had a conflict with her was already familiar with the situation and had been arrogant from beginning to end. Although she was humiliated and trampled on by the snake people, she was able to bully others by taking advantage of her power among the human race.

Maybe this is the price and reward. After all, to be recognized by Commander Xia Qing, one of the four snake kings of the snake people, means that there has been an invisible change in status. From a snake person despised by everyone, he has transformed into a person who is deeply supported and feared by the outside deacons of the snake people!

"Sir Deacon, we've finished counting the number of people, and one person is missing!"

"One person is missing? How can we explain this to Her Majesty the Queen? We could lose our heads. Go and catch another one!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he ran around in a panic, but at this time, they were already in a desert stronghold far away from the town. Whose daughter would dare to run around here?

Just when the Serpent Tribe deacon was at a loss, his subordinate suddenly glanced at him and said, "Sir... this girl is the best in both appearance and figure. Otherwise..."

The middle-aged man followed his gaze and looked at Ye Qi, who was dressed as a woman by Yao Yingying. He saw that Ye Qi was tall and had a much better figure than the ordinary delicate girls. He thought that if he blended into the crowd to make up the numbers, no one would say anything even if he was discovered!

Thinking of this, he suddenly couldn't stop laughing. Yao Yingying saw him looking at Ye Qi beside him with a smirk on his face, and guessed his intention. She immediately protected Ye Qi behind her and said sternly: "This is the personal maid of this priest, don't be so presumptuous!"

"How dare you? I only helped you out because I thought your Yao family was sensible. Do you really think that a mere priest can make me obey your orders?"

"A mere priest? You are so arrogant and domineering. The woman just now was also a priest like me, but you were so scared of her. Now you are so disrespectful to me. Do you really think I am a newcomer and was scared?" Yaya retorted harshly.

"Her? She is Lord Xia Qing's concubine. Do you want to talk to me as arrogantly as him? You'd better use your little face to seduce a commander first!" The middle-aged man hooked Yao Yingying's delicate face with his fingers. Just when Yao Yingying wanted to resist, two people suddenly held her arms from behind, and then she watched Ye Qi being taken away!

Seeing that Ye Qi did not resist when he left, Yao Yingying stopped making a fuss. After all, if he wanted to break free, no one here could stop him. Since he was willing to go, let him do it!

Now that I know the inside story of the sacrificial officer, I really regret that I naively thought it was a great honor. I dressed up happily and came to take up the position of sacrificial officer. I didn't expect it to be a hidden scam!

But Ye Qi, who was taken away, acted like a fool all the way. Others who were forcibly dragged over either cried and made a fuss, or were so scared that their eyes rolled back and they fainted!

But Ye Qi was like a piece of wood, with no expression on his face, no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, and he was easily dragged into the crowd of people who were handcuffed and shackled!

"Hey! Do you think this girl is a fool? She is taller than me, and she doesn't look coquettish at all when she walks. She's already here but she's not crying or making a fuss. I hope nothing unexpected happens to her after we send her to the oasis!" A small fry who was escorting Ye Qi said to the person next to him.

"Oh no! What are you worried about? The deacon didn't say anything. Even if something really happened, it can't be blamed on you and me. There are so many crying fools among these little girls, what's the need for this fool?"

"That's true. It's really pitiful for these people to be born in this place of moral depravity, barbarism, and evil. I hope they won't be reborn here in their next life!"

After the two men pushed Ye Qi into the crowd of melancholy girls, they left here silently. All the girls here had expressions of fear on their faces. Even when Ye Qi was pushed in, those girls were frightened and took a few steps back!

"Everyone! Follow the leader and set off now. Anyone who dares to escape along the way will be caught and thrown into the snake den, where you will experience the pain of being burrowed by thousands of snakes!"
