Chapter 86: More Sins
Sang Ye said expressionlessly, “I stole the holy relic of the temple and killed the chief priest.”
Shuang Yun gasped.
Bai Di looked surprised too.
Only Lin Huanhuan still looked confused. “Stealing shouldn’t be a big crime, right?”
Shuang Yun said, “It’s not a serious crime to steal, but it’s a serious crime to steal a sacred item from a temple.”
Bai Di frowned. “Besides, he killed the chief priest. This is adding insult to injury! No wonder the people from the Dark Moon Temple came all the way here to look for you. You’ve committed such a huge crime. If you’re captured, you’ll be executed immediately!”
And it was the cruelest kind of execution!
Sang Ye said indifferently, “Don’t worry, this is my business. I can handle it alone.”
Bai Di asked, “How do you want to settle this?”
“I’ll leave before the oracles find the rock mountain. That way, you won’t be implicated.”
Lin Huanhuan was furious at him. She glared at him and scolded, “In your eyes, are we such a group of cowardly people?!”
Sang Ye asked, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
Lin Huanhuan was even angrier after being rebuked. “So what if I’m afraid of death?! That doesn’t mean we can just let him die! We’re family. No one can die!”
Sang Ye laughed at himself. “You’re family with Bai Di and Shuang Yun. You’re not family with me. We have nothing to do with each other.”
Lin Huanhuan was speechless again. She was so angry that she was about to explode.
Bai Di stroked her head, telling her to calm down.
He said to Sang Ye, “Don’t be rash. Being impulsive won’t solve the problem. The oracles haven’t come looking for us yet. During this period of time, we can discuss a solution together.”
Sang Ye lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Huanhuan was well taken care of by Bai Di and Shuang Yun. They lived a happy life. Although Sang Ye had been living with them recently, he could clearly feel that he was the third wheeler.
Even though Huanhuan was trying her best to take care of him, he still felt out of place.
Moreover, Huanhuan was already pregnant. Nothing could happen to her now.
Therefore, it was better for him to leave as soon as possible.
As long as he was gone, Huanhuan would be safe.
…
It suddenly started to rain heavily in the night.
When they got up the next morning, Bai Di and Shuang Yun were ready to go to the fields to take a look. It was still raining heavily outside. It wouldn’t be good if the vegetable fields were flooded.
Lin Huanhuan suddenly asked, “Where’s Sang Ye?”
Shuang Yun said, “I don’t know. I haven’t seen him since I woke up this morning.”
Bai Di’s expression suddenly changed. He strode into the guest bedroom and found the animal hide blanket neatly folded and the bed cold.
Clearly, Sang Ye did not sleep here last night.
Bai Di frowned. “He’s gone.”
Lin Huanhuan immediately panicked. “It’s raining so heavily outside. Where could he have gone? If he encounters those oracles on the way, Sang Ye will be in even more danger! No, I have to go out and find him!”
Shuang Yun quickly hugged her and said sternly, “You’re pregnant now. You can’t run around!”
“But Sang Ye…”
“I’ll look for him!” Shuang Yun promised firmly. “I can definitely help you get him back!”
Lin Huanhuan heard him and suddenly remembered the last time Bai Di was left alone. Shuang Yun had promised her the same thing.
This guy usually looked especially annoying, but when it came to the critical moment, he had more courage than anyone else!
She couldn’t help but be extremely touched.
Shuang Yun said to Bai Di, “Take care of Huanhuan at home. I’ll go out and look for Sang Ye.”
But Bai Di said, “I’ll go with you.”
Shuang Yun was surprised. “You’re coming too?”
Bai Di seemed kind and gentle, but he was never an enthusiastic person.
He was the opposite of Shuang Yun.
Shuang Yun was cold on the outside but passionate on the inside, while Bai Di was cold on the inside.
Now, his sudden offer to help really surprised Shuang Yun.
“I’m stronger than you. If we really meet those oracles, I can lend a hand.” Bai Di stroked Huanhuan’s head, his gaze gentle. “At a time like this, a family has to advance and retreat together.”
His words were equivalent to acknowledging Sang Ye as family.
Shuang Yun smiled in understanding. “Alright, let’s go together!”
Shuang Yun asked Jiu Yuan to help take care of Huanhuan.
Jiu Yuan agreed seriously. “Don’t worry, Patriarch. I’ll definitely take good care of Huanhuan!”
Before they parted, Lin Huanhuan said with red eyes, “You have to be careful. I’ll be at home waiting for you to come back!”
Shuang Yun and Bai Di kissed her on the mouth one after another.
“Wait for us to return.”
Then, they rushed into the storm with 20 male wolves.
The rain was so heavy that in the blink of an eye, they were swallowed up by it and could no longer be seen.
Lin Huanhuan was still pregnant. Jiu Yuan was worried that she would fall sick from the cold, so he quickly persuaded her to go back with Mu Xiang.
Mu Xiang helped Huanhuan lie down to rest.
However, before she could lie down for long, she suddenly sat up. “I have to make some hot soup for them!”
It was raining heavily outside. Even if they were strong, they would easily catch a cold!
Mu Xiang saw Lin Huanhuan run into the kitchen in a hurry. She cut the sand roots she had collected yesterday into thin slices and mixed them with some red leaves and shellfish grass. She put them in an iron pot and boiled them with water.
Before long, a spicy smell spread.
Mu Xiang asked suspiciously, “What are you cooking?”
Lin Huanhuan said, “It’s medicine to ward off the cold. When Bai Di and the others return, give them each a big bowl. It’s good for their health.”
Mu Xiang had always believed in Huanhuan’s words. She quickly came over to help boil the soup.
…
Rain poured down, covering the entire jungle with the sound of it.
Sang Ye encountered the four oracles who happened to be chasing him when he passed through the quagmire.
The two sides had just met when they attacked without a word.
The four oracles transformed into their beast forms. They were four black and green ring-necked snakes.
The huge black python was tightly entangled by the four ring-necked snakes. The black python was unwilling to give up easily and tried its best to twist and struggle. However, there were too many of them. He could not break free at all.
To make matters worse, the four ring-necked snakes had bitten into his body. Their fangs pierced through his scales and his flesh!
These snakes had highly toxic fangs.
Even the poisonous black python could not withstand the poison attacks of four ring-necked snakes at the same time.
Just as he was about to fall, Bai Di suddenly appeared!
He turned into a white tiger and pounced! He bit the neck of one of the ring-necked snakes and plunged his flashing claws into its body. The lightning made the silver ring-necked snake tremble and scream.
The black python took the opportunity to break free and struggle to get up from the mud.
At the same time, the Silvery Frost White Wolf surrounded the ring-necked snakes with 20 beasts and pounced on them. The white tiger escaped in the chaos and dragged the black python ashore.
The black python automatically transformed into human form.
Sang Ye was lying on the ground. There were bite marks on his leg, waist, shoulder, and arm. The wounds had turned black. He had obviously been poisoned.
