Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"I see... Is it possible to cure the infection?" asked Tiangui.

"Hiss... The infection does have a cure, but it requires a church and a statue. Hiss... I've already done some research, and there's not even a church in Dris Town, let alone a 'priest'..."

After hearing the Earth Ghost's answer, the Sky Ghost clapped his hands in admiration.

However, although he was flattering on the surface, he was actually thinking about other things in his mind.

Since he has already participated in the tracking and surveillance, if he doesn't find an opportunity to take the credit, it would be a bit unfair to the birds that have been monitoring him so diligently.

The long night passed and the sun rose.

When the little animals woke up in the forest, Heloise had already shyly completed another "cleansing ceremony".

"Lord Messenger of the Good God... the evil in my body... has it been completely expelled this time?" Heloise was putting on her clothes while stealing glances at Fike, still feeling uneasy.

She thought about it and suspected it was a problem with her physical condition, so she added, "My Evil Tiger King God's power belongs to the dark faction. I wonder if it will affect the effectiveness of the ritual?"

After asking the two questions, there was no immediate response from Fei Ke.

Heloise put on her clothes and walked to Fige's side. Only then did she see the sad look on Fige's face, and she couldn't help but start to worry.

"It hasn't been completely exorcised yet. The situation is a bit complicated..." Fike pondered for a moment before continuing, "We need to continue the 'purification ritual' for at least seven more days... Also, just call me Fike. No need to call me something so exaggerated."

Heloise's heart sank when she heard Fike's answer, like a bolt from the blue.

--(What……?!)

— (She actually… had to take off her clothes seven, seven more times… for Fike to see…!)

6.54 - A promise never to be broken

Heloise was horrified.

Heloise, my heart is in turmoil.

Heloise, big, big crisis!

Heloise originally thought that the "purification ritual" only needed to be performed once more, but she didn't expect that she would have to do it seven more times to completely eliminate her karma.

If this is the only way, then Heloise...she...she will...

Heloise hugged her head, squatted down, and then began to roll around on the ground.

She no longer knew what to do.

Fike saw Heloise's strange behavior and hurried over to ask her what was wrong.

Heloise stopped reluctantly, sat on the ground, looked up at Feke, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't. She lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, then asked Feke a question.

"Master Fei, Master Feike...what will happen if this karma is not exorcised?"

"If you don't exorcise it, you will die."

Fike's answer was so clear that Heloise thought she had misheard.

If the karma is not eliminated, one will die? Is it that serious?

"Lord Feike, this apostle of the Evil Tiger King God has just been disturbed by evil forces and seems to be experiencing auditory hallucinations. Could you please answer me again?"

Heloise held on to a lucky mentality, hoping to get a "gentle" answer.

However, Fike immediately and decisively crushed her fantasy.

"Heloise, if your karma is not completely exorcised, you will die."

Having said that, Heloise really didn't have any room for imagination at all.

·

Heloise regrets it now, very much.

If she had not followed Lord Earth Ghost's instructions, she would not be in this dilemma.

——(Lord Earth Devil… why did you make such a mistake… and you had to mistake the devil for the messenger of the good god… You’ve really caused me so much trouble, wuwuwu…)

But what good is regret? There is no way Heloise can go to Lord Earth Ghost to hold him accountable.

After all, she had never even seen the true form of Lord Earth Ghost, and had only ever been talking to his incarnation.

"Heloise, you don't have to worry too much about the 'Purification Ceremony'. I told you last night that the 'Messenger of the Good God' doesn't fall into the category of 'human', so you don't have to treat me as a 'human'."

Although Fike was trying very hard to help Heloise relieve her psychological burden, Heloise still couldn't let it go easily.

It would be fine if Feke was just an ordinary person with average looks and abilities, but he just happened to look just the way Heloise liked.

Whether it's the sharp facial features or the cold eyes, they all fit in with Heloise's aesthetic.

In Heloise's opinion, it is no exaggeration to say that if Fike was brought to the Tiger Tribe, at least five Tiger girls would propose to him that day.

Therefore, Heloise absolutely could not remain indifferent when her body was seen by such a young man whom she could not ignore.

What’s even worse is that after watching it once last night and once this morning, I actually had to watch it seven more times…

But, let alone seven times, for Heloise, due to the tribal rules of the Tiger People, she could not be seen by Fike even once more.

·

What lies before Heloise at this moment is a life-or-death decision on one hand, and a major life event on the other.

She thought about it painfully and finally figured it out.

If a person dies, there is no point in talking about any major life events.

Now that it has come to this, I can only ask Fei Ke what he thinks.

"Master Fei, Master Feike..."

"Just call me Fike."

“You…you you you…you…”

"Go ahead. I'm listening."

The words were on the tip of Heloise's tongue, but she couldn't utter them.

No one has ever taught her how to say this kind of thing!

However, even if she wanted to cram now, Heloise had nowhere to cram, so she had no choice but to improvise!

"Fike, are you...are you willing...to make a...a vow of never betraying...with this...this apostle of the Evil Tiger King God?"

After saying that, Heloise opened her eyes wide and stared at Feke nervously.

"A vow of never betraying...?" Fike raised his eyebrows in confusion, then looked at Heloise.

"If taking this vow will make you feel better, then I will."

To Heloise's surprise, Feke agreed quickly, but this was not the result she wanted. She immediately realized that Feke did not understand the meaning of her words.

——(Wuwuwu… How should I put this…)

——(Should I just say it out loud… That would be too embarrassing…)

Heloise wanted to squat on the ground and roll into a ball again. It turned out that the earth was the final destination for the tiger people.

But the brave tiger people cannot avoid the problem.

Heloise realized that a short pain is worse than a long one, took a deep breath, and suddenly held Fike's hand!

"Then, then, then, will you marry me?"

Although she was hesitant, Heloise said it!

And Fike's face was full of question marks, not knowing why Heloise would suddenly propose to him.

Before Fike could ask Heloise any questions, Heloise's face flushed red and she ran all the way into the woods.

·

Heloise didn't know how long she had been running, but she kept running until she was exhausted and could not run anymore, and then she stopped.

Just as she was standing with her hands on her hips and gasping for breath, Fei Ke came over and handed her a water bag.

"Come, drink some water first."

Looking at Fike's calm demeanor, Heloise thought she had seen a ghost.

She didn't expect that the gap in physical strength between her and Fei Ke was so huge?

"Evil, evil, evil Tiger King God... Thank you, thank you for your gift..."

Perhaps because she was tired from running, or perhaps because she was shocked by the difference in strength, Heloise was not so shy now. She even had a mentality of "I've said it out anyway, so I might as well go all out."

At this moment, Heloise and Fige were two or three meters apart, each leaning against a big tree and drinking water.

Fike looked at Heloise for a while, then brought up the topic that had not yet been concluded.

"Heloise, first of all, I want to thank you for your kindness... But before I answer you, I'd like to ask why you proposed to me? Is this related to the 'Purification Ceremony'?"

Fike's calm and steady tone made Heloise feel disappointed.

She immediately understood that the reason why the young man could ask this question so calmly must be because he had no feelings for her.

——(Yeah, after all, we’ve only known each other for less than two days… and I’m so much weaker than him…)

——(And, he's also the messenger of the God of Good...eh? Wait?)

Since Heloise called herself the apostle of the Evil Tiger King God all day long, she had become accustomed to this kind of title, which led to her not truly realizing a serious problem until now.

——(Could it be that... the messenger of the good god can't marry an ordinary person???)

6.55 - The Rules of the Tiger People (Part )

Heloise always understood Fike's words "Don't treat me as a 'human'" as the same as the phrase "Apostle of the Evil Tiger King God" that she always said.

But after "encountering" Fei Ke's indifferent attitude, she suddenly realized that what Fei Ke said were objective facts.

The "Messenger of the Good God" is not a "human" chosen by the Good God to become a representative messenger, but the Good God sent his subordinates from the Divine Realm to the Prison Star World, so they are called the Messenger of the Good God... From the very beginning, Fike was not from the same world as me - Heloise thought so.

——(In that case, what should we do about the rules of our Tiger People?)

Heloise had no idea for a moment, so she just answered Feke's question frankly.

"Yes, it is indeed related to the 'Purification Ritual', but the real reason that makes the gears of fate turn is actually the fate that has bound our tiger people for thousands of years."

·

Heloise's answer was still full of various middle school elements, but Jiang Ran was already used to it. He could understand the meaning with just a little thought.

What Heloise called "fate constraints" were actually the tribal rules of the Tiger People.

The Tiger People are a race that believes in the supremacy of strength. Their ancestors established a rule for the tribe that has been used to this day.

The content of this rule is that regardless of gender, once a person has passed the coming-of-age ceremony (15 years old), and has been seen naked by a person of the opposite sex other than family members three times, he or she must marry that person.

But if they are unwilling to do so, the parties also have the right to initiate a fair one-on-one duel.

As long as he could win the duel, the marriage could be cancelled.

After listening to the rules of the Tiger People, Jiang Ran thought that this was too strange... no, it was too unique.

But if you think about it carefully, something as high-risk as peeping is definitely impossible to do without some strength.

If a weak person dares to do something wrong, he will probably be beaten to death the first time he peeks.

(No wonder Heloise resisted the "Purification Ceremony" so much. It turns out it's because of this rule...)

If Jiang Ran performs another "purification ceremony" on Heloise tomorrow, the limit of three times will be reached. No wonder Heloise suddenly "proposed" to him just now.

Knowing that this was due to the rules, Jiang Ran resolved his doubts.

Just after being proposed to by Heloise, Jiang Ran thought he could easily earn confession points for free, but he didn't expect that the text prompt did not appear at all.

Now Jiang Ran understood that even if he proposed, it would not be considered a confession unless he was sincere.

Heloise's feelings for him were just a certain degree of affection, and had not yet reached the level of confession.
