two
Jin Yuanyuan cried out in pain, somewhat aggrievedly muttering: "Mu, you have no conscience."
The sounds from the shore seemed to fade away, leaving only the clamor of the flowing water in her ears. She struggled to blink, unwilling to close her eyes just yet, when suddenly she caught sight of a familiar figure swimming agilely towards her from the unseen depths of the water.
"Divine envoy, the burning at the stake is too lenient for her!" A clear and crisp voice suddenly interjected.
Firstly, Mu Zhi is not a goddess and is fundamentally unqualified to receive the death penalty by fire. Secondly, for a woman like Mu Zhi, who is unfaithful, even the death penalty by fire cannot cleanse her sins. Jin Yuanyuan said seriously as she stuffed half of the bun back into the oil paper.
Mu suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the back of the divine messenger, was it really necessary to be so ruthless
"Jin Yuanyuan, do you have the guts to come over here! I won't be able to kill you!" Mu Zhi, unable to endure any longer, shouted loudly
Mu was taken aback for a moment. Once he understood what had happened, he forcefully pulled Jin Yuanyuan over and asked fiercely: "Jin Yuanyuan! Did you just hit me?"
Indeed, the divine messenger looked at the crowd and proclaimed in a loud voice: "Mu, with an unclean body, ascends the temple and violates the majesty of the heavenly deities. At noon tomorrow, he shall be punished by fire."
Jin Yuanyuan fell silent for a moment and said weakly, "That was made by my hand..."
Mu Zhi was awakened by a rotten egg being thrown at him
Jin Yuanyuan did not expect to have such great strength just after waking up, and in a moment of not being able to dodge, she quickly covered her face and denied: "I didn't hit you!"
How can an impure body aspire to be a goddess? What a dream!
Firstly, when I first saw Jin Yuanyuan on the verge of starvation, I should not have given her my meat bun; instead, I should have kicked her on the head and sent her on her way to the afterlife
Mu's mind was somewhat clouded, and when she realized what had happened, her face alternated between red and white as she stared blankly at those who looked at her with disdainful eyes
This is a punishment for the goddess losing her chastity! She hasn't even been a goddess for a single day! According to custom, shouldn't she be paraded through the streets for public display and then expelled?
"I saved you, yet you still hit me..." Jin Yuanyuan's voice choked as she spoke, and tears fell down her face in large drops, as if they were free.
At this moment, Mu, as the party involved, was completely immersed in his own world
Jin Yuanyuan bit her finger and said, "I, I will go get you a meat bun..."
Those gazes were like poisoned arrows, almost piercing through her skin
Mu lowered her head to look at her clothes, realizing that even the clothes did not belong to her
... ...
On the second day, Mu was indeed placed in a pig cage, and a large stone was tied to her body to ensure that she would sink to the bottom of the river and not be swept away by the current
Then, according to your meaning, what should be done
She thought of two things
"Then why does my face feel so hot and painful?" Mu gritted his teeth
Upon hearing this, Mu was filled with anger and, in a fit of rage, grabbed the golden round hand and struck it several times forcefully.
Since the age of ten, she has been brought into the shrine for training, and she is the most outstanding among them. Originally, this grand ceremony was merely a formality, but unexpectedly, the guarding powder has vanished without a trace
It would be one thing to have a spring dream, but can't she at least dream of a normal place
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Jin Yuanyuan's expression of delight and surprise
At this moment, Mu Zhi had already given up struggling and was instead quietly contemplating matters
Before Mu Zhi had the chance to think of a third matter, she was drowned in the river
At present, there are men captivated by beauty who stand up to speak for Mu Zhi, firmly believing that Mu Zhi is a victim, and that someone has undoubtedly tarnished her purity
Mu fell silent for a moment, then suddenly got up and pounced on Jin Yuanyuan, hugging her thigh: "Yuanyuan, please take care of me from now on..."
However, once we are on shore, it is imperative to give her a beating
The divine envoy glanced at Mu Zhi's excited demeanor and suddenly smiled: "Very well, since Mu Zhi is indeed not a goddess, it is inappropriate to use fire punishment. Therefore, at noon tomorrow, she shall be publicly displayed in the river."
Mu Zhi was momentarily taken aback, but after understanding, she suddenly smiled. Well, even if she had the chance to start over, she still decided to hand the meat bun to Jin Yuanyuan.
Thus, the audience was divided into three factions: one faction was the anti-Muslim group primarily composed of middle-aged women, another faction was the pro-Muslim group mainly consisting of young men, and the last faction was the onlookers who were simply there to watch the spectacle.
Mu is undoubtedly a beauty, even in her current state of destitution, covered in the stench of rotten eggs, she still possesses a captivating charm. At this moment, her silent tears evoke a sense of exquisite pity that is truly stunning.
Jin Yuanyuan quickly took a step back, fearing that Mu Zhi would pounce on her and tear her apart, yet she kept talking, directly exposing Mu Zhi's weakness: "Look, she is most afraid of water! Only water can punish her!"
Mu Zhi's gaze was like a knife, flying towards Jin Yuanyuan, how can one be so ruthless as to kick someone when they are down
"Yuan Yuan, I will buy you meat buns to eat every day from now on," Mu Zhi sincerely said as he held Jin Yuan Yuan's hand.
Rotten eggs and decayed vegetables were incessantly hurled at her, accompanied by disdainful curses
"Jin Yuanyuan, you, you... don't fall into my hands... otherwise, I will make sure you can never eat meat buns for the rest of your life!" At this moment, Mu Zhi had long lost her earlier pitiful and charming demeanor, transforming entirely into a furious tigress, causing the group of men who had just been infatuated with her to involuntarily take a step back.
Secondly, one should not suffer for so many years to become a goddess. Whenever she thinks about the fact that she has yet to indulge in a hearty feast of fish and meat, she feels a sense of regret...
As soon as the divine envoy appeared, the onlookers fell silent; firstly, due to the esteemed status of the divine envoy, others did not dare to act rashly, and secondly, it indicated that Mu Zhi was about to face misfortune
When Mu Zhi heard these two words, he rolled his eyes and fainted again
She seemed unable to bear it any longer, closing her eyes again as large tears rolled down her cheeks
The thought of her divine dream being shattered filled her with sorrow
Mu raised his head and saw Jin Yuanyuan rushing out of the crowd, panting heavily, with half of an unfinished meat bun in her hand
Jin Yuanyuan was also taken aback and hurriedly stuffed the half meat bun into her mouth, as if she were about to run out of meat buns to eat
Dirty woman
Mu had another spring dream
Where have I been lacking in conscience
What kind of sin has she committed
When Mu Zhi Meng arrived at this location, she felt quite ashamed. She considered herself a false demure woman, but she certainly had not been so uninhibited to this extent
Mu Zhi's expression was completely distorted
Jin Yuanyuan listened but did not show a happy expression; instead, she asked seriously, "Do you have money?"
Jin Yuanyuan's question hit the nail on the head, as if Mu Zhi had been enlightened by a sudden revelation. As a condemned prisoner, she had nothing, not even a purse to hold money
"Oh? Where has she become cheaper?" The divine messenger looked at Jin Yuanyuan, asking with a smile that was not quite a smile.
It is still that man, still unable to see his face clearly. She wants to resist, but finds herself unable to do so, instead sinking deeper into his allure.
The divine messenger seemed to sense Mu Zhi's gaze, turning to look at her. The chilling coldness in his eyes made her shiver, and although she wanted to cry out in protest, she found herself weak-kneed and too afraid to speak.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself bound at the entrance of the shrine, exposed to the public, surrounded by layers of onlookers.
Mu, do you think I am clever? If I were to use the death by fire, I would have no way to save you. Jin Yuanyuan's nose was still red, yet her expression was one of pride and satisfaction
Just when Mu felt that life was devoid of any hope, a divine messenger appeared
Looking so innocent, I didn't expect such depravity beneath the surface
Mu nodded slightly; she understood that although she was afraid of water, drowning was still better than being burned alive. Moreover, she was not dead yet, so she indeed had reason to be grateful to Jin Yuanyuan
Of course, it is the pig cage! Jin Yuanyuan completely ignored Mu Zhi's gaze, without even a hint of hesitation, and continued, Only water can cleanse her filthy body
She is indeed afraid of water; almost when the river water submerged her nose, her instinctive fear caused her to struggle violently. However, her entire body was bound, and even her struggles were of no use.
The capital of Dongyao Kingdom is home to a great river, known as Yongqiao River, which is approximately 10 zhang wide and 10 meters deep. On ordinary days, the river is filled with passing merchant ships, but today it is particularly lively, as most people have come to witness the sinking of Mu Zhi.
This time the location has changed; it is no longer in the clear spring in the woods, but in a cave that is warm as spring.
Mu Zhi almost forgot that Jin Yuanyuan was a crybaby. Whenever she cried, Mu Zhi would become flustered, so in the end, it resulted in Mu Zhi apologizing and Jin Yuanyuan breaking into a smile.
Suddenly, with a loud "slap," a heavy blow struck his face, and Mu Zhi was jolted awake by the pain
