Chapter 14. (1/2)

My Little Sister is for Pampering ^Ov^O

Bai Qing Qing hadn’t expected the Zhou villagers to arrive at the ancestral hall so quickly. How did they discover them? It was strange.

These were all ordinary humans. Fu Chen hadn’t made a move yet. Knowing Fu Chen was a superhuman, the villagers didn’t dare approach easily, instead brandishing their weapons as threats.

“Come with us to the Sacred Tree, or you’ll all die.”

Bai Qing Qing wondered where the Zhou villagers got their confidence. Hu Zi, the leader, appeared and said gruffly, “You’ve all been poisoned. Only the clan leader has the antidote. If you don’t want to die, come with us to the Sacred Tree.”

“Okay, lead the way,” Fu Chen agreed.

Bai Qing Qing glanced at his face, thinking that the Thunder Squad members had all looked unwell the past few days, with an eerie expression. Could they have been drugged as soon as they entered the village?

Except for Fu Chen, the other men in the squad had indeed been drugged.

Superpowered individuals aren’t made of iron; they’re just many times stronger than ordinary people. Drugging them can successfully incapacitate them.

Fu Chen originally wanted to find the source of the mutation, and these Zhou Village residents had conveniently delivered themselves to his doorstep, providing a good opportunity to kill the mutated plant.

Several young people who had just been released from prison were also taken along to the sacred tree the villagers had mentioned.

Everyone gathered under a large tree. Bai Qing Qing squeezed through the crowd and, through the heads of the people, saw the legendary sacred tree—a mutated plant.

The lush tree was four or five meters tall, a beautiful wisteria vine, its branches covered in buds. Despite the lack of wind, it swayed its branches excitedly.

The Clan Chief stood under the tree, next to the female leader, Sister Hong, whose bright red lipstick gave her a chilling and terrifying appearance.

“You Dare!” the Clan Chief glared, his eyes wide with displeasure. “We, the people of Zhou Village, kindly invited you to stay, and you’re ungrateful! Don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

The man who had complained shoved the sickly young men, dragging them all to the wisteria tree. Suddenly, branches entangled them, burrowing into their throats.

The people of Zhou Village actually worshipped a mutated plant as a sacred tree, openly feeding it with human flesh—this behavior was utterly depraved and terrifying.

Fu Chen discreetly hid Bai Qing Qing behind him, whispering, “Do you have gas masks?”

“Yes,” Bai Qing Qing replied, remembering the gas masks among the supplies they had gathered in Jiangcheng a few days ago.

Fu Chen pulled her to his teammates’ side. He exchanged glances with Cheng Rui, then turned to the Clan Chief, the authority figure of Zhou Village.

“Chief, what do you plan to do with the children hidden in the cellar?”

Hearing Fu Chen’s words, the faces of the Zhou villagers instantly darkened. Who wouldn’t love their own child? They wouldn’t do anything so inhuman unless absolutely necessary.

They hid all the children for their safety; they could say that to their own conscience.

The Chief, his face cold, perhaps believing the sacred tree was under his control, sneered, “What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in our village’s affairs?”

He controlled the children of every household. The men were willing to risk their lives in the village to survive and become stronger, while the women were brainwashed and sent out to hunt.

Whether the women returned alive was entirely up to fate. If they could bring more people back to the village, he would reward them with the sacred tree’s nectar.

“Bring Amei and Awang up here!” the Chief shouted.

Bai Qing Qing’s expression tightened as she watched Amei and Awang being forced to kneel in the center of the village. The Clan Chief struck Awang on the back with a stick, cursing, “You traitor! The village has raised you for so many years, and you don’t even know how to be grateful! What use are you?!”

That blow wasn’t like the usual strike from an elderly person; it landed heavily on Awang’s back, drawing blood instantly, leaving a gruesome wound.

Amei cried and struggled, “Grandpa Clan Chief, stop hitting him! Don’t hit him!”

The Clan Chief’s public beating of Awang was a way of intimidating the villagers and establishing his authority; anyone who dared to resist would suffer the same fate.

The villagers of Zhou Village watched this scene coldly, as if they were already used to it, their expressions numb and indifferent.

Ignoring Shen Mingxuan’s attempts to stop her, Bai Tian Tian rushed out, crying, “Chief, stop hitting him! You’ll kill him!”

Seeing Bai Tian Tian, the chief stopped the beating and, barely containing his impatience, said, “Awang betrayed the village and broke the clan rules. This is the punishment he deserves.”

Bai Tian Tian showed sympathy and said, “Even if he committed a terrible crime, you shouldn’t beat him to death.”

The Chief, annoyed, gave Sister Hong a meaningful look.

Sister Hong pulled Bai Tian Tian aside, saying, “Holy Maiden, come here.”

Bai Qing Qing thought to herself that this scene was a direct imitation of something from a book. Bai Tian Tian was being forced by the Chief to marry the mountain god. Could this so-called mountain god be this tree?

If it really was this mutated plant, that was too absurd. No wonder Bai Tian Tian was unwilling.

The Clan Chief, in his seventies or eighties, was still so energetic. Had he obtained something from the mutated plant? Otherwise, why would he go crazy over a plant?

“Holy Maiden, if you are willing to marry the Sacred Tree and stay in Zhou Village to protect the village, your friends can leave safely.”

Bai Tian Tian looked at the Clan Chief in disbelief upon hearing his words. “I’ll marry the Sacred Tree?”

The Clan Chief nodded solemnly. “You and the Sacred Tree are a match made in heaven. Both of you are guardian deities of Zhou Village; your union is most fitting.”

Bai Tian Tian’s worldview shattered. She looked at the Thunder Squad with pleading eyes, her gaze conveying a desperate plea for help.

Seeing her refusal, the Clan Chief’s face darkened instantly. “Holy Maiden, you don’t want to?”

“I…” Bai Tian Tian bit her lip in grievance. Of course, she didn’t want to marry a tree and stay in this godforsaken place.

Just then, a fire suddenly broke out in the village’s new ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was the most important place in the village, and the villagers panicked, shouting to put out the fire.

Before the Clan Chief could even speak to stop them, another fireball hurtled towards the wisteria tree.

“Roar!” The wisteria tree suddenly let out a sharp roar, shocking everyone. Its branches twisted wildly in the air, sending many ordinary villagers flying.

“Qing Qing!” Fu Chen called out.
