Chapter 481: Hidden Intent

"They’re nothing but lowly mortals with such thin divine aura. Being able to become offerings to Lord River God is their good fortune."

"Exactly! They are useless even if they stay alive anyway."

"They’re not even as useful as cattle and horses!"

"Exactly, exactly. At least cattle and horses can still haul things."

"Those lowly mortals with such thin divine aura can’t even carry two hundred pounds."

"They are completely useless alive."

"They just waste the food of our Water Divine Kingdom."

Voices rang out one after another, all of them filled with contempt for mortals, treating them as inferior to cattle and horses. Hearing this, the red-haired young woman angrily said, "How can you say things like that? Don’t you have any humanity? We are all members of the same race. Some people are simply born with more divine aura, while others are born with less. Why must you treat them with such cruelty and indifference?"

"Bah! Who is related to those beasts that are worse than pigs and dogs?"

"We are citizens of the divine kingdom, descendants of the gods."

"After working hard to offer sacrifices to the gods, we may even have the opportunity to serve them."

"How dare you say that we are the same race as those lowly mortals? Are you looking to die?"

Yun Liuying watched the scene with a smile before turning toward Fu Young with an expression of helplessness. "This young lady’s views are truly strange. I have never heard such things before. Young Master, you come from a distant divine kingdom. Surely the system there isn’t quite so strange, is it?"

Fu Young watched the scene unfold. A cold glint flashed through his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled upward into a faint smile.

"Of course not."

Naturally, there would be no such ugly system of rules.

If his Master were here, he would probably become angry and once again unleash the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame to purify the evil of this world.

Thinking of Xiao Shou’s actions when he purified the Demon Abyss Realm, Fu Young’s expression softened somewhat. At the same time, his original plan of watching coldly from the sidelines, gathering information first, and only taking action afterward changed.

After all, he was his Master only disciple and he was also in love with him. As someone so close to him, even if he did not possess his compassion and benevolence, doing what he could and what he ought to do was still within his ability.

Since that was the case, how could he continue standing by coldly and do nothing?

Besides, he had already guessed what this so-called divine power was.

With this thought, his gaze became resolute.

Yun Liuying, however, misunderstood Fu Young’s words and thought he agreed with her views and beliefs. She stared at his handsome face, somewhat reluctant to simply offer him to her ancestor, the River God, as a sacrifice.

Perhaps she should enjoy him for a few days before offering him as a sacrifice.

After all, once the divine aura in his body was offered as a sacrifice, Lord River God would certainly grant her at least one major realm’s worth of divine cultivation.

As for this troublesome woman, she could deal with her after she had tricked this outsider into leaving.

She was spouting nothing but crazy nonsense. Who knew where she had even come from?

With this thought, a strange glint flashed through Yun Liuying’s eyes, but she maintained an earnest expression and invited him again.

"Young Master, please don’t pay attention to all this crazy nonsense. Why don’t you come to my City Lord’s Residence as a guest? I will prepare some food and wine and entertain you properly."

The red-haired young woman beside them did not become angry when she heard Yun Liuying say this. Instead, her eyes lit up as she watched the scene, and an inexplicable schadenfreude flashed through her eyes.

She looked at Yun Liuying and the surrounding people as though she were looking at a group of dead people.

"No need. I have important matters to attend to and am in a hurry to continue my journey, so I won’t trouble Miss Yun."

Fu Young smiled faintly, seemingly oblivious to the red-haired young woman’s expression.

If Yu Lin had been here, she would have immediately understood that he was planning to deal with someone again.

Sure enough, Fu Young paused after saying this, and his smile became somewhat brighter. He slightly parted his lips and said, "However, I think what everyone said makes a lot of sense. People with such weak divine aura are even less useful than cattle and horses. They have no value in existing at all. Allowing such people to continue existing will only make this world uglier. What do all of you think of my idea?"

"Hahaha! Young Master, your idea is excellent!"

"That’s how it should be!"

"Exactly! Those lowly mortals should be executed the moment they are born."

"Letting them live is simply a stain upon our divine kingdom."

Amid the voices of the crowd, Yun Liuying spoke in a tone one would use to coax an idiot. "Young Master, your idea is truly wonderful. Why don’t you put those trivial matters aside for now and come back with me to meet my father? If you share your ideas with him, Father will certainly appreciate your views and have all these lowly mortals executed."

"No need to trouble your father. Such a small matter can be handled by me."

As Fu Young spoke, a brilliant smile appeared on his face. He continued, "People with such weak divine aura have no value in existing. Since this is such a reasonable thing to do, how could I leave it to someone else? Besides, compared to me, all of you possess far too little divine aura."

When the red-haired young woman heard this, her eyes lit up even more. She clenched both fists and looked at Fu Young with an expression full of anticipation.

Yun Liuying’s expression changed when she heard this, and she suddenly had an ominous feeling. She immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
