Chapter 854: Losing Effect

The women looked at their husband helplessly and asked, “Why is the G.o.ddess not fulfilling our wishes? What should we do? We haven’t watered the crops for a few months. There is nothing to eat at home.”

Seeing that the wooden statue could not produce anything, the women were the first to lose their cools because they cared about their children.

Some people had already shed tears of regret. If they had taken care of the crops in their land well, they would have had something to eat when the harvest came. They had lived a good life for so long and had almost forgotten the taste of suffering. Once the G.o.ddess stopped giving them what they wanted, they broke down.

The children at home were so hungry that they cried, and the elders sighed.

Some people thought that it was because they were not sincere enough, but no matter how sincerely they worshiped the statue, they still could not get a grain of rice from the statue.

Today, the town was shrouded in gloom.

The innkeeper did not provide everything for free today. What was left in the inn became treasures.

Looking at Liu Sanniang and the others, the innkeeper narrowed his eyes and said, “Pm really sorry. The G.o.ddess might be throwing a tantrum today. We can’t get anything from her. If you want to eat, you have to pay.”

Liu Sanniang looked at the innkeeper and said coldly, “There are no G.o.ddesses in this world. If you want to live, you have to fend for yourself.”

When the innkeeper heard Liu Sanniang criticizing the G.o.ddess, he was immediately angry. “How can you say that? The G.o.ddess gave you food for free these past few days, but not only were you not grateful, you even said bad things about her. What an ingrate.”

Hu Yu was immediately offended. Just as she was about to talk back, Liu Sanniang stopped her. She looked at the innkeeper coldly and disdainfully. “Is the G.o.ddess you believe in really giving you wealth for nothing? Your body is about to decay. Why can’t you see it?”

The innkeeper was stunned. He felt as if all his strength had suddenly disappeared. For a moment, he could not even stand still.

Endless pain spread, scaring him so much that he quickly exclaimed, “Hurry up and call a doctor…”

The medical hall in town was already empty.

In less than a day, the town turned topsy-turvy.

After not eating anything for a day, people were hungry. They could still survive by eating some leftovers, but what if even the leftovers were gone?

Everyone was in despair.

This night was extremely difficult for the people in this town.

However, as long as the people picked up their old trades and stopped relying on the G.o.ddess, they would get through it.

Hu Yu patrolled the town, feeling angry and regretful. When she returned to Liu Sanniang’s side, she said angrily, “These people are really hopeless. Even now, there are still people who put all their hope on the wooden statue and keep knotowing to it.”

Hu Yu was about to die of anger. Why couldn’t these people wake up?

Even if they kowtowed a hundred times, it wouldn’t work. With the array formation, the wooden statues in this town would not be effective.

When Liu Yuanyuan returned, she frowned and said, “Venerable, a family wants to kill their child as a sacrifice.”

Hu Yu’s eyes widened. This was simply crazy!

Liu Sanniang frowned and went out. When they arrived at the house, many deafening sounds came from inside. Hu Yu kicked open the door angrily. The door was shattered by her kick, startling the people who were performing the ritual.

It was performed by a few families together.

The child was placed on the table and was crying nonstop.

The mother broke down and cried, “If you want to sacrifice, sacrifice me. I’m willing to replace my child.”

The old man in the lead was clearly unhappy that the ritual was interrupted. “Who are you?”

Liu Sanniang looked at the old man. “You want to use human lives to worship the G.o.ddess?”

The old man said coldly, “As an outsider, you should stay out of our business. As long as we’re sincere enough, the G.o.ddess will answer our prayer.”

The others agreed with what the old man said.

They had been hungry for the entire day and their eyes were already red from hunger. Ever since they began worshiping the G.o.ddess, they did not lack anything. They no longer knew what it felt like to be hungry. Now that they were suddenly starving, their minds could not take it anymore.

Liu Sanniang sneered. “How stupid.”

Liu Sanniang walked towards the old man. “Since the creation of the world, no G.o.d has ever taught humans to be lazy. For a G.o.ddess who came out of nowhere, you can even give up your child. Are you still human?”

Liu Sanniang took the wooden statue from the old man. No one dared to stop her because of her intimidating aura.

Everyone was terrified, hesitant, and at a loss.

Liu Sanniang raised the wooden statue. The wooden statue shattered, and a thick black smoke spread out. People did not know what it was, but they screamed and retreated. Their intuition told them that this was not a good thing.

When the black smoke dissipated, everyone was still in a daze.

Someone looked at Liu Sanniang’s empty hand. “She, she destroyed our G.o.ddess…”

Liu Sanniang picked up another one and looked at it. “Do you really want the G.o.ddess of the Western Wild?”

The person didn’t know what to say. What the h.e.l.l was that black smoke just now? It was emitted from the wooden statue. Did he want it? He subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Liu Sanniang held the child and walked to the crying woman’s side to give her her child.

The woman hugged the child tightly and cried. “What G.o.ddess? If you want to worship her, go ahead. Anyway, I’m done. We have hands and feet. As long as we don’t slack off, we won’t starve to death. If anyone dares to sacrifice my child, 1 will kill them.”

The men lowered their heads, feeling guilty and a little afraid.

The wooden statue on the table had an extremely gentle expression, but looking at her now, people were actually afraid.

They couldn’t help but wonder where all the free food came from.

They looked at Liu Sanniang angrily. “Where did you come from? How dare you slander the G.o.ddess? You said that the G.o.ddess is not good, but where did we get the food? These things are all real.”

Liu Sanniang looked at them and said calmly, “Instead of asking me, why don’t you take a good look at yourself and see if you still have a strong body?”

The food they got for free was exchanged at the cost of their health. The wooden statue was banned by the Xia Dynasty. The government destroyed tons of it, but it was too tempting and still spread crazily..
