If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

It was already dawn. The old man from before came to the lake with Qing Li Qing Yi and a few other elderly people of similar age.

"Who are you? How dare you disrespect the sacred beast?"

An old man with a tiger painted on his clothes pointed at Lin Shiyi angrily and questioned him.

The old man from the Mao tribe also changed his clothes, but there was a rabbit painted on his clothes, which looked out of place.

It seems that this is the leader of the Twelve Tribes of the Great Wilderness. Their tribes correspond to the twelve zodiac signs of the Central Plains, which are divided into rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

The old man before was the leader of the Mao tribe, which represented the rabbit.

Lin Shiyi smiled and said, "I'm not disrespecting your sacred beasts. This matter was caused by you, the Mao people. If you don't believe me, just ask them."

Seeing this, the old man in tiger clothes looked at the old man of the Mao tribe and said, "Mao tribe leader, what's going on? Among the Twelve Lakes of Life and Death, it's your turn to enter the lake today. Why are the beasts so angry? You'd better tell the truth!"

Seeing this, the old man stammered and was unable to speak. Qing Li beside him looked at Lin Shiyi for help, but Lin Shiyi just rolled his eyes at her and did not offer any help.

At this time, Qing Yi, who had always been timid, stood up and said bravely: "Yes...I angered the beast. If you want to punish me, punish me. This has nothing to do with my grandfather."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started discussing it.

"I think, how about offering this little girl Qingyi to the divine beast to appease its anger?"

The old man in snake clothes said with narrowed eyes.

"Patriarch Si is absolutely right! Let's do it this way."

One person echoed.

"Okay! I'll offer this girl to the beast!"

The Yin tribe leader frowned and glared, stroking his beard and clasping his hands.

Seeing that everyone was about to arrest Qing Yi, the old man of the Mao tribe quickly stopped them and pleaded, "Everyone! No one is perfect! This child is young, and she made such a big mistake. I, an elder, have nothing to do with it! I hope that the tribe leaders will show mercy and let me take the blame for her!"

Seeing this, Qingyi immediately knelt down in front of the old man and cried, "Grandpa... this is all my fault, wuwu... just let them take me away!"

Qing Li was also very anxious. She looked at Lin Shiyi again and again, hoping that he could help explain a few words, but Lin Shiyi refused to speak, which made her very anxious.

"Stop talking, get started! Throw this girl into the swamp!"

Following the order from Chief Yin, several villagers immediately gathered around.

At this moment, the swamp suddenly rolled up, and a huge monster emerged from it, bringing up mud and water all over the sky.

Several people were covered in mud, but only Lin Shiyi was prepared and had already hidden aside with his protective spiritual energy.

Looking at the black dragon covered in black mud, Lin Shiyi frowned and said, "Why do you make such a big noise every time you appear? Can't you just come out slowly?"

Black Dragon pouted and said, "Master, you have too many rules. I went to help you pick flowers, and you still want to scold me?"

As he spoke, the black dragon opened his mouth and spit out dozens of immortal lotus flowers that fell to the ground.

Lin Shiyi's eyes widened, but he quickly regained his composure and quickly put all the lotuses into his storage bag.

"Master...Master?"

The old man from the Mao tribe repeated in surprise.

All the people of the twelve tribes knelt on the ground in fear, shouting: "The divine beast has arrived, and we were unable to greet it from afar. Please forgive us!"

"What kind of divine beast? A bunch of idiots."

The black dragon shook his head, shook off the mud on his body, and said disdainfully.

Lin Shiyi said helplessly: "Okay, you have lived here for who knows how many years. These people regard you as their faith and think that you are protecting them. Since you are leaving, just say goodbye to them!"

"boring!"

The black dragon head dived into the swamp without looking back, and then it roared again: "Master! Call me when you are leaving, I want to play for a while first!"

Seeing the black dragon rolling in the swamp, the people from the twelve tribes were stunned and didn't know whether they should stand up.

Lin Shiyi stepped forward and said, "Chief Mao, I have solved your problem. From now on, there will be no more divine beasts here. Live a good life!"

The old man excitedly held Lin Shiyi's hand and said, "Master! Thanks to you for saving me this time! Otherwise... otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

As he said this, the old man turned around and said, "Qingli Qingyi, why don't you thank the Immortal Master quickly!"

The two women hurried forward and said, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for your rescue!"

Qingyi was timid and looked adorable, but Qingli stared at Lin Shiyi with shining eyes, as if a wolf saw a piece of meat.

Lin Shiyi felt uncomfortable with her gaze and bowed to the old man, saying, "Patriarch, there is no need to do this. You can use the Immortal Lotus as a reward. I have already made a lot of money. I will take my leave now."

The black dragon was thrashing about happily in the swamp. Lin Shiyi was about to call out to the beast, but Qing Li stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master, please stay. I have a question that I hope you can answer."

Lin Shiyi frowned and asked, "What are you confused about?"

Qing Li smiled and said, "I wonder how the Immortal Master knew about the divine beast? And when did he come to this lake?"

Lin Shiyi just wanted to leave quickly, so he answered casually: "Of course it came yesterday. As for the divine beast? Haha. When the lake water sank and the swamp surged last night, this evil beast wanted to eat me..."

Qing Li asked again: "But it was the Immortal Master who saved my sister?"

Lin Shiyi said: "That's not the case. Your sister left on her own. I waited until she left before..."

At this point, Lin Shiyi suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw that the girl in light clothes was also blushing violently.

Qing Li smiled and said, "So, the Immortal Master has seen my sister's body clearly?"

Lin Shiyi twitched his face and said, "I can't see it very clearly."

"Okay, Immortal Master, you are a quick person. We are not the kind of people who would procrastinate. Now that the leaders of the twelve tribes are here, please don't mind, Immortal Master, and take my sister away!"

Qing Li said something shocking.

Lin Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "If you take me away just after taking a look at my body, then won't I have to bring back a bunch of women when I go out?"

Qing Li raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Other women are other women, but the women of our twelve tribes, as long as their bodies are seen, they will follow that man even if they die. Otherwise, there is only one way, which is to end their lives."

"Are you threatening me? Haha. But what does your life or death have to do with me?" Lin Shiyi was a little angry.

Qing Li said, "I know this won't threaten the Immortal Master, but as an Immortal Cultivator, you must value cause and effect the most. If this cause comes out and doesn't bear fruit, it will have a significant impact on you, right?"

Lin Shiyi said in a deep voice: "I can give you compensation, a pill that can prolong your life, or... a pill that can make your beauty last forever, how about it?"

All the people from the twelve tribes were dumbfounded. They all looked at Lin Shiyi cautiously, full of curiosity about his identity as an immortal cultivator.

Qingyi looked at Lin Shiyi with a red face and said nothing. Perhaps she knew that at this time she just had to listen to her sister.

Qing Li said disdainfully: "Master, we don't want elixirs or status, we just want her to follow you. Otherwise, everyone knows that you saw her body, and my sister can't continue to live here. If you don't understand this cause and effect, you will regret it one day."

Lin Shiyi frowned in thought.

No one can predict the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. After becoming an immortal cultivator, the most taboo thing is to avoid dealing with mortals. If you are contaminated by the causes of mortals, you may face the consequences at any time, and they are usually very serious.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Lin Shiyi said with a dark face: "Okay, I'll take her away from here."

Seeing this, Qingyi looked both happy and sad, with a contradictory look on her face.

Unexpectedly, Qing Li said, "Then please, Master, take us away together."

After hearing this, Lin Shiyi frowned deeply.
