145: The Sacrifice 1

The Sacrifice 1

"Then stay for a few more days!" Hali Maya said with a smile, "You gave us so much money before, and now you've only stayed for a day or two. We feel so apologetic! Stay for two more days. I'll prepare more special delicacies for you."2

"No need." Ye Leng'an had a smile on her face, but her attitude was very firm. "We have other things to do next, so we won't stay long."

Seeing Ye Leng'an's expression, Hali Maya wanted to continue asking her to stay. However, Duo Ji stopped her.

"Since you insist, we won't hold you." Duo Ji smiled and didn't look any different, just like a hospitable old man. "Then I wish you a safe journey."

Other than Ye Leng'an, Huangfu Ruiling, and Li San, almost everyone else in the Duo family had no appetite for food. However, even so, they still had to pretend that nothing had happened to avoid arousing other people's suspicion.

After dinner, the members of the Duo family didn't return to their own rooms as usual. Instead, they gathered in Duo Ji and Harimaya's rooms.

They were all grim-faced because everything that happened today was too unexpected. Initially, they thought that Ye Leng'an and her group would stay for at least a few days. However, only a day had passed and they were about to leave. Their plan was not complete yet.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Duo Luoqi frowned, his expression unclear. "Are we really going to let them leave just like that? Ye Leng'an seems to be a very suitable sacrifice. If we let her leave now, it will not be so easy to find such a suitable sacrifice again."

Most importantly, they themselves couldn't leave this place. So, they could only wait for someone else to come and see if the visitor was suitable. If a suitable person left, it might take years, decades, or even centuries for the next one to appear. He didn't know if he could leave this place in his lifetime.

"We can't let them leave." A trace of viciousness flashed across Duo Ji's face. "Ye Leng'an's aura is pure, and she has an Extreme Yin Body. She's the most suitable candidate we've met in so many years. This may be the best opportunity the heavens have given us. We definitely can't miss it."

"But we haven't made any plans yet." Dizan Maji said weakly, "Isn't it too hasty to act rashly now? Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling don't look like ordinary people. Moreover, they bring so many bodyguards with them. We may not be able to succeed."

"Sister-in-law, you're too timid." Duo Duoduo stood at the side and said disdainfully, "We can't achieve great things if we think too much! Don't you want to leave this place? You want to be trapped here for the rest of your life, but I don't want to."

"I'm not being timid, I'm being cautious." Dizan Maji disagreed. "Besides, I'm doing this for the sake of success! If we make a move rashly without absolute certainty, we'll alert the enemy. In the end, we'll be the ones in trouble. You have to know that as long as they leave the confines of the village, there's nothing we can do."

"I think you're just a coward." Duo Duoduo retorted, "If we are all like you, we will never have the chance to leave here in this lifetime."

"Alright, shut up." Seeing the two of them were about to quarrel, Duo Ji shouted, "I'm still sitting here! You dare to quarrel in front of me? Do you think I'm dead?"

Dizan Maji and Duo Duoduo immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say another word. Duo Ji, as the head of the family, was an authoritative existence to them. Now that they saw Du Duo Ji angry, they were naturally a little afraid. How could they dare to say anything?

"Then what should we do now?" Hali Maya looked at Duo Ji and asked, "No matter what we are going to do next, I'm afraid we have to bring forward the plan. If we want to make a move, today is our last chance."

If they waited until tomorrow, there might be other variables. Moreover, their plan would have a higher chance of success if they carried it out at night.
