Chapter 36: Why was she sleeping next to him?! (2)

The shaman couldn’t divine Yuan Jue’s ancestry, but it showed him that Yuan Jue’s heart was a first-rate tonic for fiends. Thus, his heart was something that all fiends wanted.

As long as he stayed in the tribe, it would greatly increase the possibility that fiends would attack the Fire Wolf Tribe. And so, the shaman told the tribe that Yuan Jue was cursed.

As a result of the shaman’s words, Yuan Jue, who hadn’t been liked by the members of the Fire Wolf Tribe to begin with, had become hated by everyone.

Originally, there had been some wolf demons that were grateful to Yuan Jue for blocking most of the attacks in the beast tide and saw him as the savior of the Fire Wolf Tribe. But, after they found out the results of the divination, one after another, they regarded Yuan Jue with hostility.

If it wasn’t for Yuan Jue, their tribe wouldn’t have suffered from the beast tide.

And so, when the shaman had proposed following the ancient demon tradition of paying 300 catties of salt for a human that would willingly marry Yuan Jue, the demons that had lost their loved ones in the beast tide exploded in anger.

They wanted nothing more than to kill Yuan Jue with their bare hands.

Moreover, 300 catties of salt wasn’t a small amount. Why should it be used for Yuan Jue?Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

“... Yes.” Lin Xun was angry about being scolded and yelled at, but he didn’t dare to show it. He could only leave the shaman’s cave with his tail tucked between his legs.

After Lin Xun left, the Shaman’s old face abruptly changed. After a while, he finally slowly sighed.

What he had said about the curse was mostly true. He had only made up a small part of it to fulfill that person’s request.

It was true that the Fire Wolf Tribe had suffered a calamitous beast tide attack because of Yuan Jue. It was also true that Yuan Jue’s heart was a delicious snack for fiends.

But, right now, it wasn’t tatanlzing enough to cause a beast tide attack. It was because of that person.

To use the words of that person, who had used the Fire Wolf Tribe’s well-being to threaten him into making up the curse,

“A wolf that goes mad from the pain of losing his loved one and falls into an abyss of hate and self-blame. A heart that unceasingly twitches and spasms from pain. Ah, that’s the ultimate delicacy.”

“Truly, I miss that wonderful taste.”
