"What is it?" Theresa was puzzled by Luo Chen's sudden question, and then shook her head.
"Don't you think the villagers of Yae Village are a bit too enthusiastic?" Luo Chen asked, not caring whether Theresa was listening or not, and continued, "I can understand a few villagers coming, but more than a dozen villagers stopped us along the way, averaging one every ten or twenty meters. Moreover, from the time we entered Yae Village until we arrived at Yae Sakura's house, the villagers along the way kept staring at us. Don't you find that strange?"
After Luo Chen said that, Theresa felt that something was wrong, and nodded, saying, "It seems so. So what should we do next?"
"If I'm not mistaken, we should have arrived at the Sacred Mark Space."
"The Sacred Mark Space!" Theresa exclaimed in surprise, standing up from the ground and looking at Luo Chen with disbelief in her voice: "How did you know?"
“I’ve read about it in books. Yae Village does exist, but it was five hundred years ago, right here in Changkong City. And just now, I sensed a Honkai energy on Yae Sakura that has the same aura as that cherry blossom tree. So I’m sure that Yae Sakura is the owner of this Stigmata Space.”
Luo Chen pretended to be reasoning and told them what he knew about the Cherry Blossom Reincarnation, waiting for Theresa's feedback.
"So, if we want to get out, we need to find a way through Yae Sakura?"
After a long pause, Theresa spoke. She had accepted being in the Stigmata Space, so figuring out how to get out became her top priority.
"Yes."
Luo Chen nodded: "But I don't plan to do anything about it."
'Are you kidding me? You expect me to take this mission seriously? No way.'
"Huh? So what are you planning to do?"
Theresa looked at Luo Chen curiously, but he just smiled and remained silent.
Just as Theresa was about to jump up and hit someone in a panic, Luo Chen looked out at the courtyard and slowly said...
"Wait, Aunt Theresa, I need to clear this Stigmata Space quickly."
Chapter 22 Raising the Banner of Rebellion Against the Heavens
"Where is Miss Yae Sakura going?"
After meeting Yae Sakura's father and having lunch with him, Luo Chen and his companion were finally allowed to move into the Yae family home. After lunch, Luo Chen, who was idly wandering around, saw Yae Sakura carrying a plate and asked her something.
“Mr. Luo Chen, I was just about to deliver medicine to my sister.”
Yae Sakura answered politely, then prepared to leave.
Can I come along?
Luo Chen asked, and after seeing Yae Sakura's surprised look, he explained, "Actually, I also have a younger sister, so I would like to meet Miss Yae Sakura's sister."
“Just call me Yae Sakura,” Yae Sakura said, then nodded. “Since Mr. Luo Chen wants to go, please come with me.”
"Ok."
Arriving at Yae Rin's room, Yae Sakura said softly, "Rin, it's me. I'm coming in."
"Sister, please come in."
Upon hearing the sounds coming from the room, Yae Sakura opened the door and went inside first.
The room was neatly arranged, with a quilt spread out in the middle. Yae Rin was sitting inside, enjoying the sunlight streaming into the room from the window, her delicate face filled with happiness.
"Oh? Sister, who is this?"
Yae Rin looked at Luo Chen as he walked in and asked curiously.
"My name is Luo Chen, and I am a traveler."
Before Yae Sakura could speak, Luo Chen interjected. Seeing Yae Sakura nod, Yae Rin's eyes lit up: "My name is Yae Rin. Big brother, are you from the outside world?"
"That's right. Is Ms. Yae Rin very curious about the outside world?"
"Mmm." Yae Rin nodded vigorously, looking at Luo Chen with envy: "Big brother is so nice, he can go and play everywhere."
At this point, Yae Rin lowered her head dejectedly, her tone somewhat sad: "Unlike me, I can only stay at home."
"Xiao Lin, don't be like this. When you get better, I'll take you out."
Yae Sakura fed the medicine to Yae Rin and said with concern. Then she looked at Luo Chen and asked him, "Mr. Luo Chen, could you stay with Rin for a while? I have some official business to attend to."
"You trust me that much?" Luo Chen smiled and said to Yae Sakura, "I've only been here for half a day, and you've already asked me to do this."
“I believe Mr. Luo Chen is not a bad person,” Yae Sakura said earnestly. “My intuition won’t lie to me.”
"Alright." Luo Chen waved his hand, "But Yae Sakura, you have to come back soon, I can't take care of a child."
"Thank you, Mr. Luo Chen."
As soon as Yae Sakura finished speaking, she hurriedly left with the plate. Only Luo Chen and Yae Rin remained in the large room.
"Xiao Lin, you don't really exist anymore, do you?"
As soon as Yae Sakura left, Luo Chen said that there was not a trace of emotion in her gray eyes.
"When did you find out, big brother?"
Yae Rin's fair face was full of smiles as she looked at Luo Chen.
“I sensed something was off as soon as I entered the room. Then I sensed it and found that the Honkai energy on your body was the same as the fluctuations of the cherry blossom trees outside the village.”
"Big brother is so thoughtful." Yae Rin said, looking straight at Luo Chen with pleading eyes: "Big brother, could you please save my sister?"
“I know about your sister’s situation.” Luo Chen paused, then leaned close to Yae Rin’s ear and whispered, “It’s that fox, isn’t it?”
Upon hearing this, Yae Rin looked at Luo Chen in disbelief, her small mouth slightly agape, and asked in shock, "Big brother, how did you know?"
"You don't need to worry about that. By the way, where is the real you right now?"
"It's right there by the cherry blossom tree that my older brother mentioned."
Yae Rin said dejectedly, "That fox has trapped my sister here for over five hundred years, and I've been searching for a solution."
"Alright, don't be sad." Luo Chen patted her head and said, "I'll come find you tonight. Do you want to hear some stories from outside?"
"want!"
Yae Rin instantly became interested, her eyes fixed on Luo Chen.
"Okay, I'll tell you now."
While Luo Chen was telling Yae Rin a story, Yae Sakura returned. Luo Chen looked at her and noticed two tear tracks on her face, and he roughly understood what was going on.
"Mr. Luo Chen, thank you for keeping Xiao Lin company."
"It's nothing," Luo Chen said. "This little one is quite lively; she kept pestering me to tell her stories."
"Is that so..." Hearing Luo Chen's words, Yae Sakura was overcome with sorrow and didn't know what to say.
"Yae Sakura, could you spare a moment of your time? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Okay." Yae Sakura nodded, a little puzzled. After saying goodbye to Yae Rin, the two went to the cherry blossom tree in the yard.
"Yae Sakura, you're thinking about your sister, aren't you?"
Luo Chen looked at the cherry blossom tree and asked Yae Sakura.
Yae Sakura's pupils dilated slightly as she looked at Luo Chen: "How did you know, Mr. Luo Chen?"
Seeing Yae Sakura's wary expression, Luo Chen said, "Yae Sakura, you don't need to be nervous. Let me finish what I have to say."
"You're worried about the sacrificial ceremony in a few days, right?"
Just as Yae Sakura was about to make a move, she heard Luo Chen continue speaking.
"It had been raining for a long time in Yae Village, so the villagers went to pray to the gods for rain. But the gods asked for a child as a sacrifice to them."
“The villagers had no choice but to comply. As the head of the village, the Yae family naturally had to take responsibility. Therefore, this time the offering is your sister.”
"Stop talking!"
Yae Sakura suddenly roared, her emotions collapsing as she shouted at Luo Chen, "What can I do? I pleaded with my father, but he refused. What can I do? I don't want Rin to be sacrificed either!"
"If I said I could save her, would you believe me?"
"What?" Yae Sakura suddenly stopped, grabbed Luo Chen's sleeve with both hands, and stared straight at him: "What did you say?"
"I can save her, do you believe me?"
Luo Chen looked directly at Yae Sakura, his eyes filled with confidence.
"How can we save him?" Yae Sakura released Luo Chen, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.
"I ask you, what is a god?"
Luo Chen didn't answer, but instead asked her.
Yae Sakura remained silent, unsure how to answer him.
Seeing that Yae Sakura remained silent, Luo Chen had no choice but to speak to himself: "In our Divine Land, gods are meant to serve people. To put it simply, Divine Land doesn't keep idle gods. If you are beneficial to people, they will love and respect you. If you are not beneficial to people or even harmful, then sorry, you can get lost. So I'm sure that the fox god you worship is not a good thing."
Luo Chen paused slightly, looked at the bewildered Yae Sakura, and slowly said, "What I mean is, when faced with something like this, just kill it."
"You!" Yae Sakura was so shocked she couldn't speak. She hadn't expected Luo Chen's solution to be directly killing a god. She didn't react for a moment.
"This is a bit too outrageous."
After a long pause, Yae Sakura spoke to Luo Chen. After careful consideration, she felt that Luo Chen's method was actually feasible and began to test it.
"Is that outrageous?" Luo Chen retorted, "You haven't even tried, how do you know we're no match for it?"
Luo Chen turned and walked into the house. Before leaving, he said to Yae Sakura, "Don't worry, Miss Yae Sakura, I have a way to deal with that fox. By the way, I will come here tomorrow at noon."
