The annual Flower God Festival had arrived.

It was the day of the Flower God's descent.

It was the liveliest and most grand day in Furen County.

It was also the bloodiest day.

This day required a large number of sacrifices to welcome the arrival of the Flower God.

On the central street of Furen County, hundreds of flower servants danced in a grotesque sacrificial dance. Strange and unsettling songs came out of their mouths, accompanied by the "crack" of bones breaking.

The thick smell of blood seemed to come from nowhere, wafting through every corner of Furen County.

The front of the Flower God's temple was the liveliest and most tense place.

More people than ever knelt in front of the main hall, and even the roofs in the distance were crowded with people.

Not only the major families but even some ordinary households offered sacrifices to the Flower God to pray for His blessing.

Countless grotesque and agonizing sacrifices "blossomed" in the cheers, silently howling in this abnormal world, making the crowd more excited.

The Holy Maiden, dressed in a gorgeous black and red sacrificial robe, stood in front of the statue, waiting for the official start of the Flower God Festival.

At ten in the morning.

The Holy Maiden walked out of the main hall.

As her foot stepped out of the Flower God's temple, fervent cheers erupted in Furen County, and countless people knelt and worshipped the towering statue.

It was at this moment that the statue underwent a transformation.

A dragon-like, enormous black serpent rushed out from behind the statue.

It was immensely large, with its head barely able to extend out from the wide doors of the temple, its eyes larger than a human's head.

Simultaneously, two inconspicuous ghost children leaped onto the Holy Maiden's body, holding her tightly to prevent her from moving.

The white-robed people around the Flower God's temple were trapped by various weapons.

Everyone was stunned by the gigantic snake.

They had never seen the Flower God, and for a moment, they doubted whether this dragon-like serpent emerging from behind the statue was the Flower God.

In awe and fear, they stared at it, catching a glimpse of the scenes within its two enormous eyes.

"We found men and women of different ages, from newborn infants to the oldest in Furen County, fed them flowers from the Dark Swamp, and stuffed the flowers into various parts of their bodies."

"We say it's the manifestation of the Flower God. Sleeping in the Dark Swamp, He chose this place. Furen County will become a blessed land, blessed by the Flower God."

"In the name of the Flower God, personally presided over by the lord, we selected the first batch of flower servants."

...

The smiles vanished from everyone's faces.

The sounds of breathing and hymns ceased.

The wailing cries of the humanoid sacrifices in front of the main hall were finally heard.

From their shattered and bloodied faces, a mournful sound echoed.

Three individuals with sacred flowers implanted in them were thrown by the serpent's tail. Their veins bulged, writhing in agony, revealing the true image of flower attendants to all the people of Furen County.
