My Wife is a Psychic - Chapter 326

326 The Sea Sacrifice

The saintess had an extremely high status in Xilan Nation, and even the emperor did not have as many supporters as she did. The saintess would offer sacrifices once a year to bless the country with good weather. Today’s sea sacrifice was just a routine.

At this time, an incense table had already been set up by the sea, and it was surrounded by strict guards. The outermost area was filled with people, who knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

“We welcome the saintess. May the saintess bring peace and harmony to the Xilan Nation. May the sea no longer surge, may the fishing boats no longer drown, may we return with a full load, and may the Dragon King be appeased.” The fishermen knelt down with a respectful attitude.

The white-robed old man stood beside Jiang Xi with the female phoenix. Dafeng under Jiang Xi’s skirt rolled its eyes in disdain, while the female phoenix shivered as if it was afraid.

!!

The saintess walked up to the high platform, her white clothes fluttering in the wind. Her face was solemn. Looking at her posture, she seemed to be quite intimidating. The sound of drums rang out around them. The saintess wriggled her body to the beat of the drums, but it was a little stiff to her previous dances.

“I don’t know what’s going on. The last time you used thirty years of your life to exchange for a few years of the saintess’ life, the saintess doesn’t seem to remember anything. She doesn’t remember the sacrificial dance, her duties, and everything else. Her temperament has also changed greatly. Sigh.” The old man shook his head and said, causing Lord Yun to be stunned.

Jiang Xi glanced at the imperial preceptor. He had spent 30 years of his life to save such a thing… Would the imperial preceptor die of anger when he found out the truth one day?

“A toast to the heavens, bestowing upon me my spirit, to bless the fishing boat with a safe return.” The saintess raised her sword and said word by word. At this time, the sea was surging with huge waves, and the sky was beginning to rain. The saintess felt a little uneasy, as if something was wrong.

The people below kowtowed.

“The second toast to the heavens, bestowing upon me the spirit to bless the fishermen to return with a bountiful harvest.”

“Three salutes to the heavens, bestowing my spirit upon me to bless the sea with peace and quiet.”

The saintess’ prayers seemed imposing in the heavy rain, making her look a bit soul-stirring. The white-robed old man patted the female phoenix beside him and said, “Let’s go.” Although these female phoenixes could not compare to Dafeng, they were still able to support normally. However, at this moment, the female phoenix was on the verge of tears, and her legs were a little soft. She had smelled the scent of the Phoenix King! Moreover, it was the Phoenix King who had successfully reincarnated!

The saintess blinked her eyes and looked at the female phoenix. “Divine bird, please bring the people’s wishes to the heavens.” Based on her past experience, the saintess waved her sword at the female phoenix. Logically speaking, once she waved her sword, the female phoenix would spread its wings and fly high. Those beautiful feathers under the sun were like a miracle that could make the people submit. Even the cries of the phoenix could attract thousands of birds. This was a miracle!

At this moment, the saintess waved her sword at the female phoenix with a serious expression, “Go!” The female phoenix was about to spread its wings and fly away when Jiang Xi glanced at it, touched her throat, and coughed. Then, a fat, fiery red bird emerged from under her feet, and its natural suppressive aura rushed toward her!

“Swish!” The female phoenix let out a cry of fear before her feathers were cut off by the saint’s sword. The female phoenix was scared out of its wits. She knelt on the ground with a squeak and buried her head in her wings, shivering. She was so scared, so scared…

The saintess was dumbfounded. Oh no, she had messed up the sea sacrifice!

The imperial preceptor could not help but look at Jiang Xi, who had an innocent look on her face and thick eyelashes. “I didn’t do anything.” After she finished speaking, she spread her hands. The phoenix under her feet spread its wings like Jiang Xi and tilted its head innocently. The pet would really be similar to their master! 𝑛𝒪𝐕𝚎𝐥𝐔𝗌𝗯.𝑐𝑜𝑀

The white-robed old man’s heart skipped a beat, “Fly! Quickly fly!” Unfortunately, the female phoenix ignored him and wanted to bury her body.

Embarrassment flashed across the saintess’s face. “Forget it, forget it. Beasts are beasts after all. I’ll do it myself!” After saying that, the saintess held the long sword in one hand, looking quite arrogant and reckless.

The commoners raised their heads and looked at the saintess with a fanatical expression, as if the accident of the female phoenix did not affect their worship of the saint. The saintess walked to the seaside in the heavy rain, looking at the huge waves. There were dozens of fishing boats on the beach, waiting to go out to sea after the sea Festival.

“All living beings, listen to my command. Wind, stop!” The saintess pointed her long sword, and something in the air seemed to have stopped for a moment.
