Chapter 132: Double Punishment

ately admitted his mistake."Xiao Zhang, actually you don't need to ask me, go ask Hong Lian, she will definitely tell you."Ripple smiled and said to Zhang Zhang, who was about to stand up and bow in a..."Ripples ripples! It's really you!"

Sang immediately stepped forward two paces, his face betraying a surge of excitement. For a moment, something seemed to flash through his mind, his eyes reddened, and he even pinched himself, stammering:

"Ripples! You're still alive! I thought you were too good!"

Sāng had been agitated for a long time, but when he saw Lián Yī holding a tiger cub in her arms and looking at it with indifference, he suddenly found himself unable to speak.

Meanwhile, Yan Jia was slowly retreating, but unfortunately, she was blocked by the tribe chief.

"Yan Jia, you lured me into your trap, causing me to get hurt and attracting wild beasts. This was all planned by you beforehand, just so you could get the mulberry fruit. You're truly shameless, you even have the face to appear before me."

The ripples' words were merciless, tearing away Yan Jia's pretense.

"I didn't! You were the one who said you wanted to find more potatoes, and I kindly told you where I found them. How can you blame me"

Yan Jia is fierce in appearance but timid in heart, and still grits his teeth in denial.

"By the Beast God, I, Ripples, swear that all I say is true. If even a single word is a lie, may lightning strike me down!"

The ripples gave Yan Jia no way out. He swore directly to the Beast God, then said with utter contempt:

If you truly did nothing, then swear an oath to the Beast God. Otherwise, I will, in the name of the Divine Messenger, have every tribe banish you!

The punch came out of nowhere, and Yan Jia's eyes welled up with tears. She wanted to rush forward and tear the uncivilized savage in front of her apart.

"Yan Jia, is there a misunderstanding between you I believe you wouldn't do this! You swore to the Beast God, I believe the Beast God will protect you."

It seems Sang is choosing to stand by Yan Jia now and speak up for her.

"Right! Jan Jia, if you didn't do it, just swear to the Beast God, we believe you too."

The patriarch spoke in a low voice.

Yan Jia is now between a rock and a hard place. If she doesn't swear allegiance to the Beast God, this spiteful female will cut off all her opportunities in the Beast World Continent, and even give Sang a reason to abandon her. But if she does swear, what if it really comes true

The ripples won't make the other party delay. Directly to Meng and Duo, he said:

"Go and summon the leaders of all beast tribes. Tell them that I have a message from the Beast God to deliver."

"Yes! Messenger of the Gods!"

Both of them were not fools, they could see at a glance that this female named Yan Jia was hesitating. This proved the words of the divine messenger were true, and even more so, because he had been attracted by the bloody smell on her body at that time.

Yan Jia almost gritted her silver teeth, then rolled her eyes and swore:

"Heaven and earth bear witness, I, Yan Jia, swear on my life that I have done nothing to harm the female Ripple. If there is even one lie in my words, may the divine thunder strike me down!"

She knew she didn't belong in this world. To shed suspicion, she had to make this vow.

After the vow was uttered, silence fell in the cave. Nothing unusual happened. The beast people looked at the ripples and then at Yan Jia, all of them puzzled.

If both people swore an oath, then one of them must be lying. But it seems like the Beast God hasn't made a judgment yet.

Yán Jiā waited anxiously for a while, just as the corner of her mouth was about to curl up, she saw a hint of sarcasm in Liàn's ripple face.

With a deafening boom, just as the Beastmen were startled into their beast forms, a purple bolt of lightning split open the cave, striking Yan Jia on the head with deadly accuracy. It sent the petite Yan Jia flying out of the cave and left her as a blackened corpse emitting wisps of white smoke.

Only after Mēng and Dú had transformed back into their human forms did they follow the ripples out of the cave.

Because of this bolt of lightning, all the beastmen on the island were startled. They arrived at the cave where the divine messenger was as fast as they could. Looking at the black charcoal-like figure lying motionless on the ground, with more breaths in than out, they whispered to the surrounding beastmen, trying to find out what happened. These beastmen were quite gossipy too.

Ripple held the curious, head-poking糰子 in her arms and slowly walked towards the fallen Yan Jia, softly saying:

"Stranger from another world, do you think that because you weren't born in the Beast World, you aren't under the protection of the Beast Gods"

Now, Yan Jia was numb with pain. Her bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at Lian Yi, wanting to say something, but she couldn't utter a word. She could feel clearly that her internal organs were burning.

"I was originally a neutral beastman, but because of Sang, I chose to be female. But your frame-up allowed me to regain my beast mark at a critical moment and become the messenger of the Beast God. I have to thank you!"

Upon hearing the ripples' words, Yan Jia's eyes burned with rage. She struggled to move her body.

"Alright, go in peace! You should have died a long time ago!"

The ripples of sound fell, and another bolt of purple lightning struck, this time directly reducing Yan Jia to ashes.

"Congratulations to the tasker, for resolving the interdimensional intruder from another world. The mission progress is two-thirds complete. Please continue your efforts!"

The sound of the millstone merrily rang out.

When the ripples returned to the cave, Sang knelt before them, pale-faced, and confessed his ignorance.

"Ripple"

"You can still call me the Angel!"

With a cool tone, Lian Yi stroked his arms as he watched Tuan Zi excitedly engaging in the commotion.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Sang's face, but he still explained with a wounded expression:

"Messenger, I truly don't know what Yan Jia would do. I clearly told her that I have a betrothed and am preparing for the betrothal ceremony. I have no idea how she could..."

"Sang, do you think I'm easily manipulated Can your few words erase the fact that you've changed your heart and shift the blame onto Yan Jia"

Liàn Yī is very disdainful of Sang, and doesn't know how the original body would choose such a partner. If it were her, she would rather become a male beastman than choose someone like this who has no responsibility and sense of duty.

“I don't! Being with Yan Jia was also after you disappeared. Everyone thought you had returned to the embrace of the Beast God.”

"Alright, I don't want to hear your excuses. You didn't refuse Yan Jia's advances, you didn't give her a clear rejection, making her think there was still a chance. That's why she went to such lengths to get rid of me as an obstacle."

Unfortunately, I was protected by the Beast God and not only escaped unharmed but also became his chosen champion. So now you want to try and claim me again I'm hardly short of followers.

The ripples pierced straight through the other person's thoughts.

The dumpling also let out a fierce "Awoooo" and roared, showing great displeasure towards the beastman named Sang.

"Yan Jia paid the price for her viciousness. Do you think you're exempt"

Ripple smiled faintly.

Sang originally wanted to stay out of it and draw a line between himself and Yan Jia. Unexpectedly, Lian Yi didn't care about their past friendship at all.

He was aghast and turned to seek the chief's help, but the chief didn't even give him a glance.

The ripple on San Lian's brow, the beast brand, flickered again. San Lian retreated, and finally turned around, running out of the cave, escaping the island without any regard for anything else.

Dan furrowed his brow, about to order the clan to pursue, but Liàn Yī waved him off.

"Let him go! I have prayed to the Beast God and withdrawn his ability to transform into a beast."

"Hiss!" then."Rhodeman felt his youngest son had grown, not just in physical strength but also in character. This made him very happy.As Rhodeman was about to say something else, the steward entered respectf...
