Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

Mo Zhu came back in the afternoon. When he approached the temple, he sensed a strong foul smell. Mo Zhu frowned and hurried to the temple. He saw a pool of blood that had not yet dried at the door of the temple.

"Sir." Mo Zhu called out with concern.

"You're back too late, clean up quickly." Su Qingchen ordered.

"Yes."

There was no one around, Mo Zhu stretched out his hand, and a cloud of black smoke covered the bloodstains, then dissipated into the air.

"Is it a white fox demon?" Mo Zhu asked.

"Well, how did you know? Did you see him too?"

"I didn't see it. I just said to them..." Mo Zhu didn't say anything else. After all, the last time he accidentally said it, he was almost sent away by Su Qingchen.

"I know you have a connection with them." Su Qingchen was frank now.

"Has he ever crossed the line?" Mo Zhu asked seriously.

"He touched my skirt, so I kicked him out. I need to change my clothes later." Su Qingchen was very unhappy.

"Yes, I'll change it for you when the temple closes at sunset."

"I don't want this dress anymore after I change it."

"Yes, I'll buy you a new one."

"The sacrifice will be held tomorrow, and no citizens have come here this morning." Su Qingchen hinted that Mozhu could actually close early today.

"Well, the sun will set in another hour." Mo Zhu did not respond to Su Qingchen's words and insisted on waiting until sunset.

Su Qingchen didn't succeed, and didn't say much. After all, he was not in the right.

"The temple will be closed all day tomorrow." Mo Zhu reminded.

"I know. I'll wait another hour."

"Well, I have something important to tell you after closing the door." Mo Zhu said again.

They couldn't talk too much while performing their duties. Su Qingchen nodded and started acting like a god seriously again.

Every household was preparing for tomorrow's sacrifice, and no one came for the next hour.

Su Qingchen sat on the altar and watched the bright sky turn crimson, then gradually darken.

After Mo Zhu closed the door of the temple, Su Qingchen couldn't wait to jump off the altar.

The two sat side by side on the steps in the yard.

"You say your thing first." Su Qingchen said.

"I visited the high priest today and persuaded him. He will not get involved in the affairs of Tian Nu and the others."

"How did you persuade him?"

"I told him that the Nuo God has already known his evil thoughts, and if he doesn't stop, he will be punished by heaven."

"Well...you call this persuasion..." Su Qingchen said helplessly, rolling his eyes silently in his heart.

"What about Tanu and the others?"

"Tian Nu is quite persistent in his ideas, but he cannot accomplish such a big thing on his own. Peng San himself has a lot of concerns, and with the withdrawal of the high priest, he is even more hesitant." Mo Zhu said seriously.

"I sealed his family's well at noon, and he couldn't get any water. He saw that several neighboring wells had water, and he felt guilty and repented, saying he would never do anything disobedient. So I lifted the seal."

"Why do I feel like these are not things that gods would do..." Although Su Qingchen agreed with the result, he always felt that the process seemed a bit strange.

"I'm not a god." Mo Zhu knew himself very well.

"And..." Mo Zhu paused for a moment, then decided to say it out loud: "I didn't beat him up to the point of vomiting blood."

Su Qingchen was stunned. He couldn't believe what he was experiencing. He was so shocked: "You talking about me?!"

"No." Mo Zhu chuckled.

Although it was just a faint smile, Su Qingchen still saw it clearly.

Mo Zhu rarely smiles. When Su Qingchen saw Mo Zhu smile, his mood immediately became much happier.

"You still don't admit it even after I told you." Su Qingchen retracted his loud words and muttered softly.

"What about Tanu? Did you make his livestock disappear, or did you empty his cellar?"

"I sent him a dream through his deceased child."

"Well, his biggest concern is the child, so it would be better to let him persuade him." Su Qingchen nodded.

"Uh... um." Mo Zhu stuttered.

Su Qingchen immediately realized that things were not what he thought. "Hmm? What kind of dream did you ask him to have?"

"Let the deceased child tell him that if he does anything terribly evil, he should take the living children with him."

Su Qingchen took a deep breath and buried his head heavily in his knees, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Su Qingchen raised his head and squinted at Mo Zhu beside him and said, "...Fortunately, you are a good person."

Mo Zhu lowered his head and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh. Why are you laughing secretly?" Su Qingchen didn't say "I look cute."
