My Darling Yu, I Love You

"Heehee!"

"Delicious, delicious! This offering is delicious!"

As the Evil God ate the person in his hand, he let out an eerie laugh!

When the people in the darkness heard the word "offering," they all sucked in a cold breath. The little groups holding golden Offering Plates, in particular, began trembling like leaves!

"D-don't tell me... the offerings that monster mentioned are us?"

A couple of cultivators who dared not separate and could not bear to part...

Stared at each other in disbelief!

The woman's chest heaved anxiously as she said, "I-it's possible!"

"Why don't we..."

The man mustered his courage and said, "Should we hurry up and throw the Offering Plate away?"

"Quick! Throw them away!!" After glancing toward the window, the woman suddenly grew frantic. "It's coming! That monster is coming! Husband, hurry up and throw the plates outside! Throw them out!!!"

"All right, all right! Stop shouting! Don't draw it over here!"

The man scrambled over to the battered wooden table where the golden plates lay, snatched up both plates, and headed toward the door.

They had sealed the window shut, so if he wanted to throw them out, he could only open the door!

"Hurry! Hurry!!!"

By now, the monster outside had tormented the woman to the brink of madness. She could not take in a word the man said.

The man also glanced out the window. Though it was dark outside, the window of the house opposite faced theirs directly, and light had been shining through it. Now, however, that light was completely blocked!

That meant the monster had come over and was already between the two houses...

Otherwise, it could not have blocked the light from the neighboring house!

Now...

It all depended on which house the monster would choose its victims from.

Fortunately, the monster was on the south side of the house, while the door was on the other side. If he opened the door to throw away the plates, at least he would not have to worry about running into it!

"Creeeak!"

The old wooden door made a sound of wood scraping against wood!

The man had tried to be as gentle as possible, but he still could not stop the old wooden door from making a noise. He did not dare pull it fully open, either. Instead, he gingerly opened a narrow crack and poked his head out to scan his surroundings!

He needed to find a suitable place to throw the golden plates without making too much noise in the quiet night!

Soon...

He spotted a little mound of dirt, and delight lit up his face!

If he threw the golden plates there, they should not make much noise, right?

"Plop!"

But before the man could throw the plates, he suddenly felt something fall onto his head.

He touched his forehead. It was wet.

Was this...

Rain?

The man instinctively looked up, only to see an enormous blood-red eye directly above his head, staring down at him!

And the liquid that had just fallen was not rainwater at all, but...

The monster's drool!

"Heehee, I caught an offering trying to escape!"

The Evil God leaned half his body out over the roof, then easily pushed open the old wooden door and grabbed the male cultivator, who had been trying to retreat into the house and shut the door!

"Aah!!"

"Aye, save me!"

The male cultivator clung to the threshold, gazing lovingly at his wife.

The instant he was caught, she frantically snatched up the sword from the floor and rushed to the doorway, saying:

"Husband, let go! Let me shut the door! Otherwise, that monster will come inside!!"

"Aye, you... how could you..."

The male cultivator was instantly so furious that he could not speak, but the female cultivator stared at the monster's enormous fingers wrapped around him, gritted her teeth, and raised her sword. With a single slash, she sliced through the hand he had hooked around the doorframe!

"Aaaah!!!"

The male cultivator let out an agonized scream.

As the female cultivator shut the old wooden door, she looked at him through the crack and said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... If there's another life, I'll be reborn as your wife and atone for my sins in this one! My darling Yu, I love you..."

"Love me, my fucking ass—aaah!"

The male cultivator roared in fury.

But in the end, he still could not escape being eaten.

After devouring the male cultivator with a series of crunches, the Evil God showed no intention of sparing the female cultivator. He pushed open the wooden door again, even though it had clearly been bolted shut!

Perhaps the wooden door was harder to open this time, because the Evil God's fingers punched the entire door out of its frame!

It was like a shoddy cardboard house!

"D-don't grab me!"

"You've already eaten my husband! There's only one person left in this house now! Why won't you spare me?"

"Stay away! Aaaah!"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Inside a house not far away, Ye Qianfan and Shen Lang heard the screams, furious curses, and ringing clashes of metal and jade coming from that house.

It seemed the female cultivator was hacking wildly at the Evil God with her sword, but it clearly did no good!

Because...

After letting out one last shriek, the female cultivator soon fell silent too.

By now, everyone in the houses was trembling even harder, for they could all sense the danger!

Those who had received Cinerary Urns were still all right.

But those who had received Offering Plates were now scared nearly to death!

Because...

They were already beginning to understand.

What those golden plates represented was offering themselves up as tributes, sacrifices to the Deity!!!
