Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

"grown ups……"

Mo Zhu held Su Qingchen tightly in his arms and comforted him.

Su Qingchen's body was trembling slightly, and his angry aura was overflowing, which made Mo Zhu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sir, don't be sad. Put away your anger and don't let the white fox demon sense it."

Mo Zhu persuaded gently.

But Su Qingchen seemed to have not recovered from the shock just now and did not listen to Mo Zhu's words.

It seemed that the spiritual energy was about to overflow from the temple.

"Sir, I feel a little uncomfortable." Mo Zhu did not loosen his hand, but rested his head heavily on Su Qingchen's shoulder.

Although the priest's anger did suppress the monsters, Mo Zhu's cultivation was already very high, and he only felt a little strange. He could not think of a better way to comfort the Lord Nuo.

Hearing this, Su Qingchen opened his tightly closed eyes and took a deep breath.

The anger that filled the temple began to dissipate.

Su Qingchen had wrinkled the clothes around Mo Zhu's waist with both hands, and now his fingers were gradually loosening.

"Are you feeling better, my Lord?"

Feeling Mo Zhu's broad chest and the warm palm on his back, Su Qingchen slowly relaxed.

"I..." Su Qingchen spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Sir, I'm here..." Mo Zhu said softly, and waited until Su Qingchen calmed down completely before slowly letting him go.

Leaving Mo Zhu's arms, Su Qingchen said, "I'm fine." His tone was firm.

He went back to the locust tree and sat down.

"Have you finished reading it?" Su Qingchen asked.

"Yeah." Mo Zhu replied.

"So... this is why the witch doctor concealed something. He could not openly tell the god he believed in about such a terrible experience." Su Qingchen felt a little lonely.

"Tomorrow will be the forty-ninth day since the White Fox Demon came to offer his sacrifice. The witch doctor does not want you to repeat the mistakes of the past."

Su Qingchen didn't have the energy to continue reading, so he asked Mo Zhu, "Why did this last so long?"

"The gods were..." Mo Zhu paused, "After the gods experienced something like that, their divinity disappeared and they could no longer protect the citizens. Therefore, the plague..."

"The plague is a method used by the white fox demon to coerce the god into continuing to voluntarily...donate his spiritual energy until it is exhausted."

Su Qingchen quickly grasped the connection.

"Threatening the gods with the lives of the citizens in order to absorb their spiritual energy is only one of the purposes. Another intention is that if the plague can spread to the palace and if the princess is ill, the child cannot be born." Mo Zhu said.

"What does it have to do with that child?" Su Qingchen was a little puzzled.

"I don't know yet, but the sorcerer can sense the original body's consciousness from the invading evil energy. He has a strong desire to kill that child."

"Well, everyone says the anomaly started around the time my husband entered the city. Have you discovered anything in the palace these days?"

Mo Zhu shook his head: "Madam doesn't have any divine or demonic qualities. She is an ordinary person. We still don't know how Madam is related to this matter."

"Wait until the high priest finishes the witch doctor's funeral, and let him come to summon the gods. Maybe he will know the answer at a glance." Su Qingchen's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

"Yes."

"The previous god...how did he...die?"

"While he was conscious, he lost all his spiritual energy and died."

"So... the witch doctor was most likely saved by this last bit of spiritual energy."

"The witch doctor was the last one in the city to be infected with the plague. This is probably why he was able to escape. Not long after the witch doctor recovered, the divine servant died. After that, there has been no more plague in the city, probably because there is no one left who can pose a threat."

"Then...how sad must it be for God to serve him all these years?" Su Qingchen felt sad when he thought about it.

"He has been guarding the god who has lost his divinity for such a long time, and..." Thinking of the scene he saw before, Su Qingchen felt a little nauseous and did not continue.

"So he chose to die in a way that would allow him to never be reincarnated." Mo Zhu understood a little.
