Youyou, on the side, saw that she was frozen and lightly poked her thigh, and said a series of words, with a very eager expression, like she couldn’t wait to go back. Mu Qing finally snapped back from her thoughts, casting behind the unpleasant thoughts that made her unhappy just now, she hurriedly put her clothes back on, and went back to the settlement with Youyou.

She soon learned why Youyou had been urging her just now. Some kind of celebration similar to a sacrifice was going to be held tonight.

The elk’s wailing was soon drowned out by the cheers that resonated all around. The elk blood was collected into a huge clay jar, and the old woman put her hand in and stirred it, just like she had done that day before she gave Mu Qing that medicine, and then there was another round of prayers.

Li Mang held the jar of blood and walked towards the chief. The chief took the first sip, Li Mang himself took a sip, and then everyone in turn, each person that was kneeling was able to take a sip of this blood that had just been running through the elk’s veins.

Mu Qing was kneeling in the crowd, her gaze slowly followed Li Mang’s figure. Then her gaze stopped, when she saw Yi Jia.

When Li Mang handed the elk blood to Yi Jia, Yi Jia’s face showed a carefree smile as he took a light sip, then his gaze went through the crowd and stopped on Mu Qing.
