Chapter 85: The World of Beasts: The Fake Priestess Is Really Cultivating Immortality
Liu Shiwen lowered her head shyly, bit her lower lip lightly, and a blush appeared on her face.
She felt the warmth of Hu Shi's palm. The warmth penetrated her skin and went straight to her heart, making her feel extremely safe and happy.
Hu Shi felt a pang in his heart when he saw Liu Shiwen's shy look.
He knew that he had fallen deeply in love with this beautiful and intelligent female, and he was willing to spend his whole life protecting and caring for her.
The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, all words seemed superfluous. The tacit understanding and deep affection between them had already surpassed the limits of words.
After breakfast, Hu Shi took Liu Shiwen to the tribe leader’s cave.
Along the way, they walked hand in hand in the jungle under the sun, enjoying this rare tranquility and happiness.
The chief's cave is located in the center of the tribe. It is a spacious and bright cave.
When Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen walked into the cave, the tribe leader was sitting on a chair made of animal skin with his eyes closed.
Hearing the footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes revealing a depth and wisdom.
"Chief, I'm here to report something to you." Hu Shi said respectfully.
The tribe leader nodded and motioned for them to sit down. Liu Shiwen nervously pulled Hu Shi's sleeve. Hu Shi gently held her hand, giving her encouragement and support.
"Chief, I want Wenwen to be my beast wife." Hu Shi said directly and firmly.
The clan leader looked at the two people's tightly clasped hands, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He turned to Liu Shiwen and asked gently: "Wenwen, are you willing to let Hu Shi become your first beast husband?"
Liu Shiwen raised her head and met the clan leader's gaze. She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I do."
The patriarch smiled and nodded, seemingly not surprised by their decision. He stood up, walked in front of the two men, and said solemnly:
"Since you have made your decision, I will preside over the bond-making ceremony for you."
When Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen heard this, they smiled with joy. They knew that this meant that their relationship would be recognized and blessed by the entire tribe.
The chief walked out of the cave, summoned everyone in the tribe, and asked them to notify Chi Meng.
They went to the altar in the tribe together to hold a bonding ceremony for Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen.
The altar is located at the highest point of the tribe. Various sacrificial items are placed on the altar, and the air is filled with a faint herbal aroma.
As the priest of the tribe, Chi Meng wore special sacrificial clothes, held a staff, and stood in front of the altar.
There was a solemn and sacred expression on her face, as if she was communicating with the gods between heaven and earth.
The tribe leader took Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen to the altar and solemnly introduced their situation. Then, he turned to Chi Meng and said, "Priest, you will preside over the covenant ceremony for them."
Chi Meng nodded and began to chant the ancient spell. Her voice was deep and powerful, as if it had some kind of magic that could penetrate people's hearts.
As the spell was chanted, the air around the altar began to ripple with faint light waves.
Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen felt a mysterious force swirling around them, as if it was going to tie them tightly together.
Suddenly, a dazzling light shot up from the altar and reached the sky.
In the light, the figures of Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen seemed to gradually merge into one, as if they had become an indivisible whole.
After the light faded, Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen felt a strong dizziness. When they opened their eyes again, they found that the bond between them seemed to have become deeper and stronger.
Liu Shiwen was shocked at this moment.
She also thought that priests and beast gods were all imaginary creations of the orcs due to their ignorance.
But they didn't expect that their bond-making ceremony would cause such a big commotion.
Is it possible that there really are beast gods in this world?
At this moment, the tribesmen were also talking about it. They did not expect such a thing to happen.
In their impression, although the priests were very powerful, they had never seen any visions of heaven and earth.
This made them feel very shocked.
"The Lord Beast God has appeared. The Lord Beast God has appeared."
I don’t know who shouted first, but the rest of the people reacted immediately and knelt down.
He shouted loudly that the Beast God had appeared.
At this moment, Chi Meng became more mysterious and majestic in their eyes.
After the sacrifice, Chi Meng's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. She returned to her cave alone and continued her practice.
There was an indescribable calmness and determination on her face, as if the grand bonding ceremony just now was just an insignificant part of her life.
After all, the action just now had the effect of releasing the little spiritual energy in her body.
Just like what happened just now, if anyone said that she was a fake priestess, the whole clan would tear him apart.
However, for Liu Shiwen, all this was like a nightmare.
She stood under the altar, looking at Chi Meng's departing back, her heart filled with anxiety and fear.
She was afraid that there really were beast gods in this world, and she was even more afraid that her identity as a time traveler would be exposed, and she would suffer unimaginable consequences.
She subconsciously held Hu Shi's hand tightly, but found that his hand was also shaking slightly. She raised her head and met Hu Shi's worried eyes.
Hu Shi looked at her pale face and her bitten lower lip, and felt heartbroken.
"Wenwen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Hu Shi asked with concern.
Liu Shiwen forced a smile and shook her head.
"It's okay. Maybe the ceremony just now was too shocking. I haven't recovered yet."
Hu Shi looked at her trying to remain calm and became even more worried.
He knew that Liu Shiwen was a sensitive and delicate person, and this bonding ceremony might be too sudden and unfamiliar to her.
He held her hand gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
Liu Shiwen felt the warmth and firmness in Hu Shi's palm, and the fear in her heart was slightly relieved. She nodded and followed Hu Shi back to their cave.
After returning to the cave, Liu Shiwen was still a little uneasy. She sat on the bed, resting her chin with both hands, lost in thought. Hu Shi looked at her frowning face and sighed in his heart.
He walked silently to her side, sat down, and gently held her hand.
"Wenwen, if you have any worries or confusions, you can tell me. I will do my best to help you." Hu Shi said gently.
Liu Shiwen raised her head and looked into Hu Shi's deep and determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She took a deep breath and expressed her worries and confusion.
"Hu Shi, do you think there really is a Beast God in this world? Will our bond ceremony attract the attention of the Beast God?" Liu Shiwen expressed her doubts in one breath.
Hu Shi frowned slightly after hearing her words. He had never thought about these issues before, but after Liu Shiwen raised them, he also began to feel a little uneasy.
"Wenwen, I'm not very clear about the Beast God. In the legend of our tribe, the Beast God is the one who protects us and gives us strength. But as to whether it really exists and whether it will notice us, I don't know."
Hu Shi said honestly.
After hearing what Hu Shi said, Liu Shiwen felt a little less uneasy.
She knew that Hu Shi was trying to comfort her, but she also understood that the most important thing now was to stay calm and rational, and not be swayed by fear and confusion.
She nodded and said to Hu Shi:
"Thank you, Brother Hu Shi. I am not afraid anymore as long as you are by my side."
Hu Shi looked at her determined eyes and felt relieved. He knew that Liu Shiwen was a strong and brave person.
The two smiled at each other, and their hearts were filled with warmth and strength.
As night fell, a warm fire lit up in the cave. Liu Shiwen lay in Hu Shi's arms, feeling his heartbeat and breathing.
She closed her eyes, her heart filled with peace and tranquility.
She knew that although this strange world was full of unknowns and dangers, she was not alone now.
She has a powerful companion, Hu Shi, by her side to protect her.
At this moment, Hu Shi was hugging Liu Shiwen tightly, his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction. He knew that he had found the most important person in his life, and he would spend his whole life to protect and take care of her.
The two of them lay quietly in the cave, enjoying this rare peace and happiness.
It was late at night, and the firelight flickered in the cave, as if guarding a warm place for the lovers. Hu Shi could not have imagined that there would be many males who would possess the person in his arms in the future.
