327 The Tornado Is Here

“Rain, stop!” As the saintess’ voice fell, the rain stopped. The crowd burst out in a fierce shout, all of them supporting the saintess.

When Lord Yun and the white-robed elder saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the saintess’ back with satisfaction.

“Wave, stop!” The saintess waved her long sword and the huge wave that was coming at them immediately receded. Everyone cheered wildly. Before Lord Yun could even put away his smile, he heard a few strange sounds.

“F*ck, Saintess, run!” Lord Yun raised his head and saw a huge wave several meters higher than the previous one coming from the sea. One wave had smacked the saintess onto a wooden stake used for the worship. The fishy and salty smell of seawater was everywhere. Jiang Xi’s pants were wet from the seawater, and there were two fish jumping in front of her, which were then eaten by Dafeng. Dafeng was now no different from a strong duck.

“Saintess!” Lord Yun’s eyes reddened. He rushed to carry the saintess down, only to find her pale and unconscious. The ocean that should have been calm under the Holy maiden’s guidance suddenly began to boil rapidly.

“The giant wave is here, the giant wave is here again!”

“Run! The huge wave is coming!”

The commoners cried out in alarm. Seeing that the wave was almost ten meters high, they were all scared out of their wits. The iron chain that tied the fishing boat to the ground made clattering sounds as it was about to break free, and it kept on rippling on the sea.

“My God, a tornado! There’s a tornado on the sea!” Someone shouted in a hoarse voice, and everyone’s face sank.

On the surface of the sea, a tornado connected the sky and the sea, whistling towards the shore. Fish were fleeing everywhere, and even sharks were stranded on the shore.

The people of the saintess’ palace were stunned.

“The saintess has summoned a tornado. Everyone, run for your lives!” There were civilians running for their lives everywhere. The saintess’ face was pale. She picked up her sword in disbelief and pointed it at the sky angrily. Her face was solemn. “Retreat! I order you to retreat!” Before she could finish, a fish rolled up by the wave smacked the saintess in the face. The fish was stuffed into her mouth, leaving only the tail outside.

The imperial preceptor watched helplessly as the saintess, who had just woken up, was overturned by the huge waves. Her mouth was stuffed with a fish, and her hair was disheveled like a crazy woman. It was chaotic everywhere, but it was very quiet around Jiang Xi, as if the movements were afraid of startling the child in her belly.

The entire sea sacrifice ritual was like a scene of a huge accident. The huge waves swept up a lot of fish, and as the Holy maiden said, they returned with a full load.

“A tornado is coming, a tornado is coming.” The commoners cried and screamed as they knelt on the ground, begging the saintess to save them.

With a pale face, Lord Yun helped the saintess up and pulled the fish out of her mouth. His face was solemn. “Let’s go. I’m afraid we can’t end this peacefully today.” As he spoke, he could not help but look at Jiang Xi. The saintess looked as if she had been abused and was crying miserably. “Am I out of favor? Am I no longer the goddaughter acknowledged by the heavens? Why is it like this?” The saintess cried as she bathed in the rain, looking at the preceptor, her heart was about to break.

The imperial preceptor sighed. ‘No, it’s not that you’ve fallen out of favor. The daughter of heaven is here! You even stole her husband. It’s already very kind of the heavens to not kill you.’

The saintess looked at the black heads below and felt a chill in her heart. These people would not come up and tear her apart, would they? She was so scared. She wanted to go back to the mental hospital!

The imperial preceptor pondered for a moment, and the salty smell in his nose became even stronger. Even the seawater that was swept up by the tornado spilled onto the shore, and the things that they had prepared for the sacrifice were all slapped away.

The preceptor handed the saintess to the white-robed old man, “Take good care of her.” The saintess was out of favor now. What if the heavens got angry and could not control themselves, killing the saintess?

The imperial preceptor walked up to Jiang Xi and bowed. “If the saintess has offended you in any way, I’m willing to cut myself pieces to pay for my sins. However, the people of Xilan Nation are innocent. Please save them.” With that, the imperial preceptor knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the saintess was stunned. “She’s just a maidservant who serves me…” The saintess mumbled. Her hair was still dripping with water, and there was a mass of seaweed on her head. The little handmaiden glanced at her, and that glance… It was really strange! Why did it look so similar to the treasure in her mental hospital?

“Innocent? What does it have to do with me? I’m not from Xilan Nation. Shouldn’t I be applauding for you guys?” Jiang Xi lowered his voice. ‘Are you out of your mind to beg the ruler of another country to save your people?’
