Chapter 29

"Shizun!"

Lian Ren gently tapped Shao Ling's cheeks to bring back his consciousness, but Shao Ling kept his eyes tightly closed, biting his lower lip while his arms were clenched. Lian Ren turned to the people in the village to seek help, but what he saw made him speechless. The people in the village were not panicking at all. Instead, they were looking down at Shao Ling with a straight face. No hostility or malicious gaze was shown, but instead, it was as if they were used to seeing people experiencing those symptoms.

Lian Ren shifted his gaze to the village chief in front. Her face was still shocked for some reason, but when she was eventually taken aback, she simply raised her left hand and ordered her subordinates, "Bring them comfortable sheets and the pills. Also, get a bowl of lukewarm water from the pond."

"Yes, Chief." The subordinates responded.

Lian Ren wants to get angry, but he can't be too hasty right now because he is still clueless about Shao Ling's condition. The village chief stared at him for a while, slowly stood up from her seat, and spoke as she approached Shao Ling's direction. "You must've been clueless as to why your Shizun always experiences a fever, don't you?"

Does she know something? Lian Ren took this chance to gain information and replied, "Yes. Can the Village Chief enlighten me about Shizun's condition?"

The Village Chief curved her lips into a smile and started to speak, "Very well. Now let's start in the beginning." She gestured for her other subordinates to exit the house so that Lian Ren, Shao Ling, and she would be the only people inside. The Village Chief stared down at Shao Ling with a meaningful gaze as she spoke.

"A long time ago, there was a man and a woman who were blessed by the Goddess of Fertility and the God of Beauty. Because of the blessings of the two heavenly beings, the man and the woman had fourteen children, seven females and seven males."

"To maintain the blessings of the God and Goddess to them, the family decided to bear children with the father in their same blood. The children grew, the family became many, and houses were built until it became a tribe. The tribe was full of beautiful people, and they could create offspring of the highest quality. It was the blessing of the God of Beauty and the Goddess of Fertility." Little by little, Lian Ren was starting to understand what the Village Chief was saying.

The Village Chief shifted her gaze at Lian Ren and smiled. "You're not stupid, right? I'm sure you understand what I'm saying, young man."

"I do understand," Lian Ren replied. "I knew that the story you're telling me is the history of your tribe."

"Mmn. Good." The village chief nodded in agreement. "We, the Blue Dawn Tribe, were blessed by the God of Beauty and the Goddess of Fertility. However, we need to remain hidden because our blessing can cause chaos in the whole world."

I know that too. Lian Ren said inside his mind. The Blue Dawn Tribe was blessed by the God of Beauty and the Goddess of Fertility. Much more is that they can create offspring of the highest quality. Cultivators in the upper realm will go crazy once they discover them, and there might be a chance that these tribes will be caught by the slave traders and will be auctioned in a slave house for a huge amount of money. Lian Ren can sense a huge amount of Yin energy from the moment he steps inside the Blue Dawn tribe, but it is different from Shao Ling's energy.
