After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

Deep in the green mountains, lush greenery abounds.

Since the Miao King was captured by the imperial court, all important matters concerning the Miao region and Miao villages have been handed over to the High Priest.

The high priest was also busy selecting a new Miao king, and was extremely busy and stressed every day.

"Gentlemen, I have listened to all your suggestions. How about this, we will draft a final list and submit it to the Holy Maiden for review."

"I will also ask God myself; that will be fair and just, won't it?"

Those seated under the long table were all respected elders of the Miao village, as well as the village chief.

They glanced at each other, and in the end, neither of them would give in to the other.

"The priest is right. Important matters in Miao territory should be reviewed by the Holy Maiden. We will follow the priest's arrangements."

Now no one has any objections.

The high priest, leaning on his cane, sat down dignifiedly. He felt as if a problem had been solved, but before he could even catch his breath, he took a sip of tea.

Outside the door, a young Miao man, wearing a black turban, an indigo short jacket, and adorned with silver ornaments, barged in.

"Priest... High Priest!"

His face was filled with joy and excitement, and he could barely speak, his words coming out in broken sentences.

The chieftain, who was in charge, advised, "Young man, speak carefully. What's making you so flustered?"

The woman sitting next to the burly man was still holding a snake bone in her hand. She smiled, her lips pursed, as if she had thought of something.

"But has the Holy Maiden returned?"

Upon hearing someone explain, the young man quickly bowed and agreed.

"Lady Sanna, the Saintess has returned!"

Upon hearing the definite news about the Miao boy, the high priest's originally cloudy eyes brightened. He stood up abruptly, leaning on his cane, and felt his heavy body become lighter.

High Priest: "What you're saying... is it true!"

The young man quickly replied, "Absolutely true, High Priest! If I utter even a single falsehood, may I die a horrible death!"

In their desperation, they even started hurling curses.

The good news of the saint's return was like a gentle rain from heaven, nourishing everyone's hearts.

Just as the village chiefs were about to go out to welcome the Holy Maiden, a familiar blue butterfly flew in.

Its fluttering wings drew graceful arcs in the air as it headed straight for the high priest.

Finally, it stopped at the high priest's shoulder.

Everyone held their breath, afraid of disturbing the beautiful butterfly.

It goes without saying who else in Miao territory could raise such beautiful, obedient butterflies?

That could only be the Holy Maiden who has the blood of Chi You flowing through her veins.

The faith of the Miao people, the backbone of the Miao people.

...

Last time I went to Miao territory, it was a very rushed trip.

Yin Huaixi only had time to glance at the Miao King's Palace, which had been destroyed by fire, but she never saw where the Holy Maiden Sang Che's residence was.

This time she's going to take a good look.

"Your Holiness, we haven't been back for so long. How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Ah Cai's eyes sparkled. She had never returned since leaving Sang Che's stilted house. How could she not miss the place where she was born and raised?

"You've really been out for days, and you're already behaving so disrespectfully towards the Holy Maiden. Don't you deserve a beating?"

Yiyun grabbed Acai and couldn't help but facepalm. If she didn't remind Acai now, this naive girl would definitely get scolded by the other sisters after they returned to the Miao village. Acai had been out there for too long and was used to being unrestrained.

If A-Cai cries and can't sleep at night, that will be a real nuisance to her.

A-Cai's small ear was pinched painfully, and she gasped in pain, quickly apologizing, "Sister, I know I was wrong, please don't pull my ear anymore, it hurts..."

The two of them were so funny that Yin Huaixi couldn't help but laugh out loud. She knew that such a serious topic was definitely not something to laugh about.

However, her sense of humor and morality are at odds, so it's only natural that she can't hold back her laughter.

Sang Che was already used to their bickering. She turned her head to look at Yin Huaixi and watched as the mountain breeze blew Yin Huaixi's long, beautiful hair. She couldn't help but move closer.

Her beloved finally returned to God's realm with her.

With God's witness, they can get married.

...

Upon hearing the news of the Holy Maiden's return, the entire Miao village erupted in excitement.

The saintess returned in haste, but they still had to thoroughly clean the stilted house.

Otherwise, how could the saintess live in this dusty room?

This is blasphemy against the gods, disrespect for the gods!

The high priest led the village chiefs and slowly walked towards the entrance of the Miao village.

No matter how others tried to persuade him, the high priest insisted on going to greet Sang Che's return despite his broken body.

As always, the high priest heard the familiar sound of silver bells coming from afar.

His eyes widened as he saw the holy woman, arm in arm with the Han woman, walk back into the Miao village.

The other village chiefs had only heard of Yin Huaixi's existence and knew that the Holy Maiden was willing to do anything for her.

Apart from that, I know nothing else.

"Is that the priestess you once mentioned as the destined one to be by the saint's side?"

"But shouldn't she have become a puppet for the Holy Maiden to restore her eyes long ago? How come she's still brazenly staying by the Holy Maiden's side?"

Sang Che's personality is unpredictable, and these chieftains have all suffered losses to some extent. Being toyed with by Sang Che is a minor matter.

Their biggest worry was that Sang Che would say he was going to develop some new medicine or some new Gu worms, which would really kill them.

Hearing the nagging in his ears, the high priest turned around, leaning on his cane, and sternly warned, "None of you should talk about this anymore."

"The saintess was serious about her."

"This woman is the Holy Maiden's Achilles' heel. If you speak recklessly, don't blame me for not warning you."

The Miao people in the village, who were there to welcome Sang Che's return, presented him with flowers and wine.

They looked up at Sang Che as if he had brought a gift from God.

...

At first, the high priest spoke with great seriousness.

None of them believed it.

When Sang Che took his seat in the main seat, he told the village chiefs that he and Yin Huaixi would hold a grand wedding banquet under the witness of the gods.

They all stood up in surprise.

"Your Holiness, are you truly going to marry a Han Chinese woman?"

"This... I'm afraid that's inappropriate!"

"Yes, Your Holiness, there has never been such a rule in this village throughout history!"

It is common for Miao holy maidens to remain unmarried.

As a woman favored by the gods, no one would stop or criticize the saintess no matter what she did.

However, marrying a Han Chinese was so outrageous that the Miao people simply could not accept it.

Faced with a table full of questions, Sang Che simply lifted her eyelids, her fingers continuing to stroke Xiao Ya'er's smooth head, a smile playing on her lips.

He said casually, "I was only gone for a few days. When did it become your business to interfere in my affairs?"

"My relationship with Huaixi is permitted by the gods; do we need your permission?"

"You just need to manage your own village and know your own place."

"Don't cross the line."

In an instant, the chieftains heard a rustling sound, as if countless insects were swarming towards them.

The Gu worms carried by the village chiefs all lost contact at this moment, leaving a deathly silence.

Sang Che looked up.

Understated, with a morbid tone:

"Alright, I've come here just to inform you that angering me is angering God."

"Do you understand?"
