Chapter 289 The Truth of the Goddess
Chapter 289 The Truth of the Goddess
"Sister Su, hurry up and clean up! They...they are coming soon."
The person who said this was a young woman in yellow, her eyes were full of fear, but even so, she was still trying her best to comfort the other woman.
The woman she called Sister Su was one of the women who went out to "purchase" supplies today.
She was so arrogant on the street at that time, and she was completely different from the shivering her now huddled in the corner of the house.
"No, I don't want it!"
Su Zhilan slightly raised her head which was hidden in her knees, looked towards the door with eyes full of fear, and squeezed her body towards the corner tower again.
But she was already close to the edge of the wall, how far could she shrink?
"A Liu, do you know? Every 'goddess' who goes out cannot survive more than three days. They are coming to kill me..."
Su Zhilan grabbed the arm of the woman in yellow. Driven by fear, she was incredibly strong and A Liu's arm was visibly bleeding.
But she gritted her teeth and said nothing. This was the only way she could help these sisters.
"I will be eaten by those demons just like Sister Zhu and the others!"
The fear in Su Zhilan's eyes turned into madness!
"I don't want to die, I really don't want to die. I saw my parents and brother today. I want to go home. I want to go home."
"Yes, I want to go home..."
Su Zhilan thought of the elderly parents she saw on the street today. She wanted to call them "Dad and Mom", throw herself into their arms, and tell them about the fear and confusion she had experienced in these days.
But it didn't work. The devil in the City Lord's Mansion used some evil magic to control himself.
He could only watch helplessly as "himself" gave the order and ordered people to expel them in front of the sad eyes of his parents.
At that time, Su Zhilan's grief and fear reached its peak.
For the devil's means, for my own future, and for the safety of my parents after my death.
The accumulation of various emotions made Su Zhilan's sanity on the verge of collapse. She let go of A Liu's hand, pushed her away, and stumbled out of the house.
"Sister Su, don't——"
A Liu was knocked to the ground by her without paying attention, and a bruise appeared on his wrist joint.
She immediately turned over and stretched out her hand to stop Su Zhilan.
squeak-
The door was opened, but it was not Su Zhilan who did it.
A smiling man in a red robe stood outside the door.
"Su Tiannv, it's so late, where are you going?"
The man's voice was gentle, and the short eleven words he said conveyed a different flavor.
When Su Zhilan saw him, her whole body froze, as if there were thousands of poisonous snakes crawling behind her, but she couldn't move at all.
Tears flowed from Su Zhilan's eyes, and her eyes became empty.
Manager Lu looked at the scene in front of him, with a hint of joy and greed in his eyes.
"Manager Lu, Sister Su saw her family today and she is worried about them. She wants to go out to enjoy the moon. After all... today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month!"
The moment the door opened, A Liu stood up, and when Manager Lu asked Su Zhilan a question, he hurried towards the door.
Now she hugged Su Zhilan tightly, buried her head in her neck, and looked directly at Manager Lu with tears glistening in her eyes.
"A Liu, don't be afraid! The fairy taught you that as long as you are not afraid, nothing will happen. Just wait, sooner or later someone will come to save us."
"Just wait..."
A Liu remembered the fairy's face firmly in her heart. That was the belief that enabled her to persist in this devil's cave.
Su Zhilan was hugged by A Liu, and it seemed like she had found support. He hugged her tightly, her body shaking constantly.
When Manager Lu saw this, a dark light flashed in his eyes!
"It's cold in the autumn nights, so it's better for the goddesses not to go out at night. Otherwise, you might catch a cold. Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, and tonight we have to baptize all the goddesses."
When Su Zhilan heard this, her body trembled noticeably.
"We understand. We won't go out. Please ask Manager Lu to step back. We are going to clean up."
When Manager Lu saw this scene, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"In that case, I will take my leave now!"
Manager Lu bowed slightly and walked out.
Lin Fuping did not use her spiritual power or divine consciousness, but the changes in her physique brought about by her spiritual transformation and body training allowed her to concentrate and hear everything that happened in the Tiannv Tower.
Including Su Zhilan and A Liu!
She even paid special attention to that room because the demon cultivator named Lu came to find them.
"A Liu, what should I do? I really don't want to die!"
After being frightened by Manager Lu, Su Zhilan lost the courage and impulse to rush home, and was left with only endless fear.
At this moment, she hugged A Liu and cried silently.
A Liu patted her back, thinking of the miserable future of himself and others, tears finally rolled down his eyes.
"Hold on! Wait! As long as you're alive, there's always hope, right?"
"But I can't survive, A-Liu?"
Su Zhilan grabbed A Liu's arm
"A Liu, please save me, please save me!"
The look Su Zhilan gave A Liu was like a drowning person seeing the last straw.
Life-saving straw!
"A Liu, you have stayed in the Tiannu Tower the longest and lived the longest. Please save me, tell me, what should I do?"
Su Zhilan suddenly moved close to A Liu's face and looked into A Liu's eyes with expectant eyes.
A Liu looked at Su Zhilan's eyes that regarded her as her last hope, hardened his heart, closed his eyes and turned his head away.
"I have no idea!"
A Liu said this against his will, and kept saying sorry to Su Zhilan in his heart.
Although her parents were not like Su Zhilan's parents, who were looking forward to her getting out, she still wanted to live.
It’s not that she didn’t want to tell the other sisters, as long as they were not afraid, they would be useless to that devil.
But after she said that, the devil would find out about her sooner or later.
She wants to live too!
"hypocritical--"
Su Zhilan pushed A Liu away and slapped her hard.
A taste of blood came out of A Liu's mouth and his cheeks quickly became red and swollen.
"You could have saved us, why didn't you save us! Sister Zhu, Xiao Tian'er, Er Yatou, you could have saved us, you could have——"
Su Zhilan stepped forward, grabbed A Liu's arm and shook it hard.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know!"
A Liu kept talking, tears continuously flowing!
Su Zhilan's hands dropped weakly, and she walked feebly towards the bed curtain.
"Change your clothes, the baptism is about to begin!"
A Liu looked at Su Zhilan's distraught back, feeling filled with guilt. After apologizing to her again in his heart, he quickly walked to his bedside and changed his clothes.
After hearing everything, Lin Fuping thought for a moment and decided to take the risk to go and see Miss A Liu.
At this time, A Liu was holding a white handkerchief and praying continuously!
