"I'll just eat some rations …" Tang Meng said softly, she did not dare go out to look for food.

Hearing this, Shui Qinan went downstairs. She had not eaten this kind of thing called mother in a long time, luckily she had a Cosmos Sack, she had taken a lot of meat from the Zuo back then.

"What are you doing?" Tang Meng asked hurriedly. Her intuition told her that Shui Qinan would be safe if he followed her closely.

"Lend me your kitchen." Tang Meng asked as she looked at Shui Qinan with suspicion. She suspected that Shui Qinan did not know how to cook, but she did not dare to go downstairs.

When he went downstairs to the kitchen, he found Shui Qinan skillfully cooking. It was unknown what special aroma he had. Shui Qinan did not start a fire. Instead, she used her own fire source to control the temperature of the fire.

"It smells so good." Tang Meng sniffed. The food that Shui Qinan cooked was even more delicious than the ones originally cooked by the chefs in the tavern. Her stomach could not help but growl.

Shui Qinan glanced at Tang Meng indifferently, and Tang Meng laughed embarrassedly. Shui Qinan withdrew the fire source and said: "You can eat it now."

Tang Meng and Shui Qinan started to eat. This way, Tang Meng initially had some resistance towards Shui Qinan, but now that they had all disappeared, Shui Qinan would answer whatever that she asked.

Thus, Shui Qinan found out that other than the half-dead emperor and the three princes, he had a few other sons. However, most of his sons were useless, and she also had a daughter who was given a blood sacrifice.

Even until now, the Emperor of State Of Birao was only a lot younger, and his condition had not improved at all.

There were a total of a dozen or so cities in the State Of Birao. The city Shui Qinan was currently in was in was one of the cities at the very edge of the State Of Birao, and it was also their turn to pay a blood sacrifice to the girls in their city starting from last month.

There were only three days left before the soldiers would come again.

The city Tang Meng was in had Xinghai City, and it was not as if the people in the city had never thought of resisting, but the people in the other big cities could not do anything about it, so they had no choice but to sacrifice their own blood.

Just as Tang Meng was speaking, she heard a wave of noise coming from outside. Tang Meng's face changed greatly as she said: "Oh no, they're here. Didn't they come in three days?!"

With that said, Tang Meng anxiously pulled Shui Qinan and hid in the dark tunnels of the kitchen.

"Stop hiding, quickly come out!"

"It is your fortune to be able to offer the Blood Sacrifice of the Martial King!"

The loud noise came in, and a group of soldiers came in. They searched around the tavern but didn't find anyone.

"Dammit, it's like this again!" Suddenly, he smelled the fragrance of food in the air and followed it into the kitchen. On the kitchen table, there was food that Tang Meng and Shui Qinan had not finished eating.

The little soldier touched the food and said, "This is still warm. It means that she was here just now."

The other soldiers quickly surrounded the kitchen. There must be someone in this tavern. According to the eyewitnesses, a girl must have entered this tavern and hid in the kitchen.

Hiding in the dark tunnel, Tang Meng's heartbeat sped up. She nervously pressed her hand to her mouth, and Tang Meng felt the aura of death coming closer and closer.

Shui Qinan, on the other hand, calmly looked at Tang Meng. Just now, Tang Meng's speed was extremely fast, to the point that she couldn't even react to it. Shui Qinan saw the few soldiers in front of her as ants. They could be strangled to death whenever they wanted to, so she didn't need to hide at all.

The little soldier outside was getting closer and closer to Shui Qinan and the others, and Tang Meng was also getting more and more nervous.

Unexpectedly, the heavy ringing of a bell could be heard outside. A few soldiers quickly left after hearing the ringing of the bell.

After they left, Tang Meng's legs went limp and she collapsed onto the ground.

"No matter what, you're still a Yellow Rank. How can you be so useless?" Shui Qinan said as she looked at Tang Meng, whose face had turned pale from fright. Back then, Shui Xiner was only at the Yellow Rank.

Tang Meng was at least seventeen, but her courage was actually inferior to Shui Xiner's.

Tang Meng felt extremely ashamed hearing Shui Qinan's words, she did not even think of resisting, she only wanted to hide so that others would not be able to see her. Shui Qinan did not speak further, she was curious about the meaning behind the bell chime.

"Are you curious about that bell? When it rings, all the soldiers in the city must return to the City Lord's Mansion to gather." Tang Meng seemed to know what Shui Qinan was curious about and explained.

Their State Of Birao was different from other nations. They had dozens of cities, and each city had a City Lord.

"Your City Lord doesn't object to this sort of thing?" Shui Qinan said indifferently.

"How could he object? In order to curry favor with that prince, every time he needed a blood sacrifice, he seized the person ahead of time. Furthermore …" Tang Meng was a little speechless, that king is so perverted, if not for the girls who had to be blood sacrifices to become virgins, these girls would have been spoiled by him. But even so, this prince should be able to take all the advantages he could.

The mayor had only one son, and because he was the mayor, he drove all the family members of the young girls out of the city. Some pretty girls could get married, but as long as the prince set his eyes on them, the mayor would capture them and give them to him.

Shui Qinan did not have a good impression of that Duke at all.

"I would actually like to meet this so-called prince." Shui Qinan's eyes revealed a cold light, it had been a long time since she last killed someone, her hands were itching to kill.

Tang Meng panicked and said: "I can't accept that."

Shui Qinan was the most beautiful girl Tang Meng had ever seen. From Tang Meng's point of view, Shui Qinan was asking for trouble if she had an egg on a rock.

Shui Qinan looked at Tang Meng expressionlessly. Tang Meng's aptitude was average, her courage was too small, so it was difficult to become great.

Tang Meng felt a little guilty being looked at. She persuaded in a small voice: "There are a lot of them, but you are not their match. In the end, you will definitely be stained with blood.

"Are you just going to hide here and talk about the fate of being sacrificed?" Shui Qinan's ice-cold voice sounded out.

Tang Meng was speechless. She knew that she couldn't, she just wanted to live for one more day.

Shui Qinan wasn't worried that something would happen to her, and she wasn't alone either. Not to mention her own skill level, she still had so many cards up her sleeves. Forget about Zhu Er, even if she was a silly girl who only knew how to act cute, she was still an Ancient Beast, a Vermillion Bird fire that could burn people and beasts five kilometers away.
