Chapter 1557: Why Am I The One Who’s Always Getting Hurt?
“Not bad.” A moment later, the goat-headed man’s face returned to normal, and he looked down on the curled up Night Bodhisattva. “Do you realize your mistake now?”
Shaking all over, the Night Bodhisattva said weakly, “I do... I won’t do it again!”
“Mm. A small punishment this may be, I expect this to be the last time you make this mistake.” The goat-headed man’s voice was still refined and gentle, but his words chilled the Night Bodhisattva to her core. “Otherwise, no one can save you.”
“Yes! Yes! Thank you for showing mercy, envoy!” The Night Bodhisattva hurriedly replied.
“You did one thing well though.”
It was at this moment the goat-headed man replied, “Over one hundred thousand people are gathered in the Nanjiang Royal Court. In this regard, you have fulfilled my lord’s mission properly. I will report it as it is to my lord. I’m sure she will reward you handsomely for your efforts.”
The Night Bodhisattva pretended to be delighted by his praise. “Thank you, envoy! It is this minor god’s duty. It doesn’t deserve your compliment.”
“Mistake is mistake, merit is merit. My lord is one who both punishes mistakes and rewards merits.”
The goat-headed man replied, “Complete the altar post haste. Do not be lazy.”
“Yes, envoy! This minor god will not disappoint you or the lord!”
That was what she said, but she was really anxious. After all, it sounded like the goat-headed man was about to leave very soon. However, those two still hadn’t made a peep yet. Did they really miss her message? Or had something happened to them? Whatever the reason behind their absence, this was not the outcome she was hoping for. After all, she was the one who was going to suffer the consequences in the end.
What could she do? Her life was in their hands. It was her own fault that she was weak; that she allowed another to master her life.
