"The gods are the faith that the beastmen have revered for thousands of years. Are you saying they don't exist just because you say so?" Qiao Ci looked at Lu Yan expressionlessly.
"There are no gods in this world. I'll curse one right now and see if it can hear me?
Gods, you are all fake and deceitful spirits! I, Lu Yan, don't believe in you, hmph!
See? I haven't received any punishment. Doesn't that prove that gods don't exist?" Lu Yan put her hands on her hips, feeling confident and justified.
Qiao Ci glanced at her, "The gods have to oversee all things in the world. Why would they bother with trash?"
"Why are you cursing people?" Lu Yan glared at Qiao Ci with a wronged expression, looking both accusatory and coquettish, which made Nan An beside her feel heartbroken.
He looked at Qiao Ci with a slightly cold tone, "Saintess, mind your words."
"Oh? I'm merely stating facts. In front of the gods, she's just an ant, and she speaks wildly. Isn't that trash?" Qiao Ci calmly stated the facts.
Lu Yan didn't want her man talking to Qiao Ci, so she stepped forward, standing in front of Nan An and blocking Qiao Ci's view. She looked at Qiao Ci coquettishly and said, "Brother Nan An is the chieftain. You can't speak to him like that!"
"I am the Saintess, where do you get the nerve to question me?" Qiao Ci's tone showed a hint of impatience.
"Me? Hehe, I am the chieftain's future only partner, so I have the confidence to speak with you!" Lu Yan held her head high and chest out, very proud.
When Lu Yan took the initiative to declare herself his partner, Nan An's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Impossible," Qiao Ci looked down at her and shook her head.
"What?" Lu Yan thought she had misheard.
"I, the Saintess, say you cannot be the chieftain's partner. You weren't, aren't now, and never will be. And this is the will of the gods." Qiao Ci pointed to the sky with a profound look.
"Hahaha, what a joke! If I'm not, then are you?" Lu Yan thought, 'Good, the fox's tail is finally showing. This damned Saintess has designs on Nan An!'
"I'm not either, because he's not worthy. A Saintess should be paired with the gods." Qiao Ci looked into the distant void, her eyes gentle.
"I can't stop laughing. You, paired with gods? It seems you're still stubborn. Didn't you say there are gods? Prove it." Lu Yan was amused by Qiao Ci's shamelessness.
What a Saintess should be paired with the gods? Even if there were gods, it would be Lu Yan who deserved them.
"Since you ask, I shall oblige. You have blasphemed against the gods just now. I will report this to Him and bring down punishment." Qiao Ci's demeanor at this moment was very much like a charlatan, at least that's what Little Spoon thought.
"Haha, hurry up then, don't dawdle." Lu Yan was eager to see Qiao Ci fall from grace.
Qiao Ci closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the sacrificial cushion, appearing noble and sacred.
In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a bolt of lightning struck Lu Yan directly, searing the top of her head, and she fainted dead away.
Seeing this, all the beastmen immediately knelt down in utmost reverence.
Nan An also quickly followed suit, kneeling and offering a sincere prayer before daring to look at Lu Yan. Seeing that she was still breathing, he relaxed.
After this incident, the beastmen of the Tiger Tribe became even more respectful of Qiao Ci, and their faith in the gods grew more devout.
Lu Yan woke up still with lingering fear. When she was able to move freely again, she stubbornly denied it: "This must be a coincidence! Qiao Ci definitely played a trick!"
Having lost face this time, Lu Yan began to think about how to get back at her.
Thinking of Qiao Ci's words that she wasn't destined to be the chieftain's partner, and looking at the devoted Nan An beside her, she couldn't help but smile.
She wanted to use those baseless claims to make Nan An leave her?
She was dreaming too big!
She extended her fair arm and wrapped it around Nan An, saying with a flirtatious expression, "Brother Nan An, are you willing to have the partner ceremony with me? We've agreed, if you become my partner, you can only have me for the rest of your life, you cannot sleep with other females."
Nan An tightly hugged her soft waist, "You little vixen, trying to seduce me again! What? Are you still bothered by what the Saintess said?"
"Are you willing or not? I don't want to hear anything else right now, and I don't like you calling her Saintess!" Lu Yan pouted and whined.
"Alright, alright, I won't call her Saintess anymore, okay? As for whether I'm willing, it depends on whether you can satisfy me later." Nan An said, pouncing on Lu Yan.
The two of them immediately rolled into a tangled mess.
An night of wild indulgence.
The next day, Nan An woke up refreshed.
Lu Yan rubbed her sore waist and looked at him resentfully, "May I ask Chieftain Nan An, am I qualified to be your only partner?"
"Of course, I want no one but you." Nan An laughed heartily and lifted her chin to kiss her.
"But what if the Saintess doesn't agree? I feel like she really dislikes me and doesn't want me to be your partner.
She said those things that day. If you hold the partner ceremony with me, and she interferes again, won't it be difficult for you?" Lu Yan's words, though appearing to be concerned for Nan An, were laced with a triumphant smile.
Knowing that she had disrupted Qiao Ci's ritual and caused some people to be dissatisfied with her, Lu Yan further explained herself, "Actually, there are no gods where I live, that's why I stepped forward to expose Qiao Ci. Although I was struck by lightning that day, it could very well have been a coincidence. Alas, everyone's impression of me must be very bad now. Will they also object to us~"
Nan An squeezed her waist and said domineeringly, "You are my woman, who dares to point fingers at you? Don't worry, the chieftain has the right to choose a spouse, and they have no right to interfere."
"Really?"
"Hm? Dare to doubt this chieftain?"
"Hehe, Brother Nan An, you're so domineering, I love it."
"There's even more domineering stuff. Don't cry and beg for mercy later~"
Little Spoon, eavesdropping on the conversation, couldn't take it anymore.
So damn cheesy!
Then, it couldn't help but sigh: Lu Yan is indeed a woman who possesses the Brotherhood, she's quite resilient.
Little Spoon quickly ran back and relayed the overheard information to Qiao Ci with embellishments, causing Qiao Ci to frown.
"From now on, try to watch less of this inappropriate content. You're going to become corrupted. Your original form is already yellow, and if you continue to be full of lewd talk, it's over~"
Hearing this, Little Spoon was so scared that it quickly purged the yellow waste from its mind.
That's right, it was still a baby, it should remain pure. First, it was led astray by the host, and then it learned bad habits from the original male and female leads!
If this continues, it would truly become a little lewd spoon ⊙﹏⊙
Hearing Little Spoon's thoughts, Qiao Ci couldn't help but rap its tiger head fiercely!
