Chapter 234 Ruthlessness is also a way to protect yourself
As soon as Jin Cais appeared outside the door, the two beastly husbands began to feel nervous. Bai Susu walked to the door and opened it only a corner. Through the crack, she saw Jin Cais standing at the door with his eyes lowered.
She said, "Young City Lord, why are you here again? If you're here to talk to me about those orcs, then you'd better give up. I won't help orcs who have nothing to do with me."
Jin Caisi was silent for a moment before he said, "I know. I won't force you."
He knew Bai Susu was unwilling to help, so he stopped talking about it and said, "You've been tired all day and haven't eaten anything yet. I'm here to bring you some food."
"Send me food?" Bai Susu was half-believing and half-doubting. She looked at Jin Kais through the gap and saw that he looked melancholy, with a face covered with many clouds of sorrow. It seemed that he was in great trouble.
She lowered her eyes and saw that he was holding a wooden tray with some steaming food on it.
Seeing that Bai Susu was unwilling to open the door, Jin Kaisi put the food on the ground and said, "I'll put the food here. You should have a good rest after eating. Tomorrow, the Beast City will hold a sacrificial ceremony. The city lord will ask the Beast Shaman to verify your identity in front of the orcs in the city.
After confirming that you are the goddess, I will pass on to you the throne and some artifacts left by the Beast God."
In Jin Kaisi's eyes, Bai Susu was a five-patterned female with the ability to conjure things out of thin air. When she was promoted, she was shrouded in golden divine light. Just based on these changes, he confirmed that she was the goddess.
Now, her identity will be verified again through the sacred stone at tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, just to convince all the orcs in the city, to let everyone know that the goddess does exist, and to give everyone hope.
"Oh." Bai Susu replied indifferently. She glanced at Jin Caisi standing at the door without saying a word. She felt strange and asked abruptly, "Anything else?"
Jin Kaisi thought of what Bai Susu had said not long ago and asked again, "I've followed the goddess' instructions and had the orcs search every corner of Beast City. They haven't found the place you mentioned where the Beast God left the Concentrating Mirror, which transforms resentment into evil energy. Does the goddess know its exact location?"
"I don't know." Bai Susu said without hesitation: "I only know that this happened, but I don't know where exactly it is."
She had asked the system not long ago and learned the origin of these curses from the system, but it could not detect the specific location of the Mind Mirror, as if there was a force blocking its signal.
She told Jin Caisi truthfully, "I can only tell you this much. The rest, the Young City Lord must find it himself."
Jin Cais's eyes flickered. "Then... is there really no way to save those orcs?"
He still didn't give up and wanted to find a way to save those orcs from Bai Susu. Since the curse spread, he had used many methods to save the orcs infected with the curse, but to no avail.
Now the appearance of Bai Susu is their only hope.
Bai Susu lowered her eyes: "Yeah."
She knew how to save those orcs, but it would backfire on her and hurt her body. She and the beast husbands came to this strange beast city. The beast husbands were currently unable to protect themselves and all relied on her protection.
If she helps, it will affect herself, and she will be unable to protect herself if something happens next time.
Considering her own safety and the safety of her beastmen, she had no intention of helping these beastmen who had nothing to do with her.
She lowered her eyelids slightly, a strange look flashing in her eyes. Every word she said chilled Jin Caisi's heart. "I am just an ordinary female, not a goddess. Please don't pin your hopes on me, Young City Lord. I can't help you."
His breathing was rapid, as if a heavy pressure was pressing down on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. This feeling of hopelessness washed over him, and he said anxiously, "When you were promoted, you were different from ordinary orcs. A golden pillar of divine light appeared on your body. This is the symbol of the goddess, it can't be fake."
Jin Kesi's face was serious, his brow furrowed. "Even if you deny it, this is reality. The Beast Shaman will verify your identity at tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony. If the Divine Pillar appears again and verifies your identity, you will have no excuse to deny your identity."
Bai Susu asked back, "What if it turns out that I'm not the real one? What will you do then?"
Because of the orc incident, Jin Caisi's heart was in turmoil, as if an invisible claw was tearing at him. He clenched his fists and promised Bai Susu: "If you are not, I will let you go back."
After leaving these words, Jin Caisi turned and left, walking towards the concentration camp. His back looked lonely, as if he was under great pressure.
Bai Susu picked up the food and turned back into the room.
the next day.
Bai Susu was still asleep when she heard a knock on the door. She quickly got up and tidied her clothes. When Cang Xiao heard the sound, he also smelled a hint of Chi Mo and other orcs. At Bai Susu's signal, he went to open the door.
Bai Susu glanced sideways and saw Chi Mo standing outside the door, and behind him were two elderly females of the Red Eagle tribe.
"Goddess Susu, I am Chi Mo." Chi Mo didn't dare look inside. He lowered his eyes, his ears flushed red. He was the first to explain, "I'm here by the orders of the City Lord, bringing a female Red Eagle to prepare for the goddess. We'll be heading to the city center for the grand sacrificial ceremony later."
Before Bai Susu could react, two elderly female Red Eagles entered the room, grabbed her arms, and pulled her out: "Goddess, please follow us."
Bai Susu was very resistant to their contact: "Let me go, I can do it myself."
The old female looked at her kindly and said, "Don't be afraid, goddess. We won't hurt you. We'll just clean you up."
Bai Susu did not feel any hostility from the two female red eagles and watched the situation develop. However, the two beast husbands beside her were very worried. They were worried about Bai Susu and rushed over.
"Let Susu go!" Mei Wuzhi jumped from the ground, grabbed the hand of one of the female red eagles, and was about to bite her when he was caught by Chi Mo.
Chi Mo grabbed a beastly man with one hand and whispered a warning: "Don't make trouble, just wait quietly on the side."
Bai Susu was a little anxious when she saw the beast husband being caught by Chi Mo. She shouted at Chi Mo angrily: "Chi Mo, let them go!"
Chi Mo: "Don't worry, goddess. I won't harm your beastly husbands. You just need to cooperate with us. We will return them to you when this is over."
Even though Chi Mo said so, Bai Susu was still worried and quietly asked the system: System, is there any way to protect my beastly husbands when I'm not around?
System: [Yes.]
[Host, this system has a two-hour protection mechanism that can protect the beast husband from harm. However, this protection mechanism can only be redeemed once a month. Host, would you like to spend 50 points to redeem this protection mechanism once?]
exchange!
She was not with the beastly husband, so it was hard to be sure what would happen. To be on the safe side, it would be better to redeem the protection mechanism to protect the beastly husband.
[Exchange successful, protection mechanism activated for the two beast husbands.]
After the system finished speaking, Bai Susu knew that the beastly husbands were protected by the system mechanism, so she felt at ease to follow and leave.
