“Hmph, what a shaman doctor! She was just an old hag. When the chief asked her to teach the apprentices, she refused to teach. When there was an epidemic, she only made us sacrifice our children.”
“Yes, she was just an old hag better off dead! The goddess has said that the gods will never ask for any sacrifices. Anyone who tries to burn our people to death is a superstition that must be defeated!”
As they were talking, they saw a few people led by Little Nuo. They were dressed in white, entering the structure referred to as the “hospital.”
Many people showed envious expressions, “We used to be afraid of approaching patients, fearing that the curse would befall us. But now, I’m so envious of these people being able to stay with the goddess.”
“Yes, especially Little Nuo. It’s great that she can become the goddess’s disciple!”

Little Nuo and the others responsible for caring for the patients were all bustling about quietly and carefully.
The patients occasionally vomited or wetted themselves, but someone quickly cleaned up the mess and brought them hot water. Their faces wore hopeful smiles, no longer the despair of merely waiting for death as before.
Everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but turn toward a corner not far away, where a girl was sitting, fast asleep.
Her complexion was somewhat pale, and there were slight dark circles under her eyes. Those were the signs left from working tirelessly for days without a moment’s rest.
Despite being such a revered goddess, she worked tirelessly to treat people like them without complaints. She never even felt disgusted by their vomit. Working tirelessly, day and night, she brought about a new life for the Cangda Tribe.
I wished the goddess could stay in the Cangda Tribe forever!
Xi Yue, who was sleeping soundly, did not see it, nor did anyone else. A seed on Xi Yue’s neck was emitting a green light, and the dim lines on the surface of the seed were slowly getting brighter and brighter.
When Xi Weizhi walked into the “hospital”, the first thing he saw was the sleeping girl.
A mysterious light flashed in his eyes as he slowly walked towards Xi Yue. The entire room fell silent wherever he passed as if enveloped by a chilling aura.
If they respected Xi Yue, they were deeply afraid and jealous of this scarred boy.
Xi Weizhi walked up to Xi Yue, crouched beside her, and quietly observed the sleeping girl for a long time. The emotions in his eyes were like rolling waves, growing more and more intense.

However, before his hand came close, Xi Yue suddenly opened her eyes, displaying the unique vigilance of a person treading on danger.
Seeing that it was Xi Weizhi, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, “Am I asleep?”
Xi Weizhi withdrew his hand without any change in expression and said calmly, “You are too tired; you should go back to sleep.”
“Yes, Goddess, please go back and rest!”
“You haven’t closed your eyes for three days and three nights!”
“Master, please catch some rest. We will take good care of the patients here!”
Meeting the worried gazes of everyone and her little apprentices, Xi Yue checked the condition inside the pagoda fruit again. A satisfied smile painted her face.
Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, a flapping noise accompanied by familiar chirping sounds came from outside the door.
Xi Yue quickly moved outside the house. Sure enough, she saw the fatter Little Red Bird swooping down from a high altitude with its wings fluttering and slamming into her chest.
