After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 1031 Sacrifice
The maid burst into tears upon hearing this. The tears flowed out like beads that had broken off a string. "Wow, I was tricked by the Qian family. They, they wanted to use me as a sacrifice to the demon!"

Mu Wanxi looked at the maid, then looked behind her where she was just now.

Below the maid's hanging position, there was a formation similar to the one under the feet of the other maids. However, the formation drawn with cinnabar was rubbed by something, and a piece of the formation was damaged, so it did not work.

"Did you do this?" Mu Wanxi asked, pointing at the formation.

The maid choked up and looked at the formation, and immediately cried even harder, "It was... me. I ate the soup that the master gave me and passed out. However, my body couldn't move, but I was still conscious. I heard the master and his concubine discussing that they wanted me to be the living sacrifice this year, and they also said that the demon would come out of the formation under my feet..."

"So the Qian family uses women's lives as sacrifices to demons every year?" When Mu Wanxi saw the maid saying this, she wiped her tears and cried again. She did not urge her, but waited patiently for her to continue.

Mu Wanxi guessed that the demon the maid was talking about should be the demon that was pestering Miss Qian.

The maid nodded. "I couldn't move at the time. I vaguely heard Master Qian say that the reason why the Qian family was so prominent was because they offered sacrifices to the demon and won the demon's favor. He also said that the demon was called Aqin. I was so scared at the time. After they left, I struggled hard. Maybe I accidentally messed up the summoning array..."

"Thanks to you for messing up this summoning circle, otherwise, you would be dead now." Mu Wanxi took a look at the summoning circle and could feel a strong evil energy from it.

This evil spirit is fatal to the maids who have no spiritual power. The evil spirit will continue to erode the maids' spirits. When they are tortured to death, the demon Aqin will emerge from the formation, kill the maids, and devour their souls.

Because the maid's toes rubbed off some of the cinnabar in the formation under her feet, the formation lost its effect and she survived. She was lucky enough to snatch her life back from the hands of the King of Hell.

When the maid saw what Mu Wanxi said in a serious tone, she was frightened and her eyes welled up with tears, and she almost burst into tears again.

Mu Wanxi was afraid of alarming others, so he quickly reached out to cover the maid's mouth and said in a low voice, "Why are you screaming? What if the Qian family is attracted and they know that the problem lies with you, will you still be able to survive?"

The maid quickly held back her tears, her face turning blue. "Master, please save me. I, I have never done anything bad. I am willing to work like a slave for the rest of my life to repay you for saving my life."

"Don't worry, I will never abandon you. But there is one thing I don't understand." Mu Wanxi looked at the maid in confusion, "You have been here for a few days. Didn't the Qian family come in to see you?"

The maid was locked up here for two or three days, and the formation did not work. Aqin did not receive the sacrifice from the Qian family, so naturally he had to pester Miss Qian.

But the Qian family hadn't entered this room for such a long time? Once they entered this room in Tianhe Garden, they would definitely find that there was something wrong with the formation under the maid's feet.

The maid bowed her head pitifully. "Master Qian said that the door cannot be opened for three days after the sacrifice, otherwise the demon will be angry. Otherwise, I am afraid I would have already..."
