When they heard that the statue could actually speak, Xie Ting's mother being from the Wa Kingdom meant she naturally understood the language, even though it was Wa speech.
"W-what... what is that thing? A statue of a god... can actually speak?"
Xie Ting stared blankly at the statue. She couldn't help swallowing hard, her expression tense and panicked, fear plain on her face.
