Everyone started to kneel in fear and began chanting, pleading for the Sea God's forgiveness.
Chuzheng stood amidst the bushes, perfectly hidden, yet able to see the scene outside.
Zhuang Ping was also kneeling nearby; having grown up on the island, he dared not do otherwise.
But...
Zhuang Ping couldn't help but glance at Chuzheng. She had asked about the Sea God Temple earlier, and now the Sea God statue was missing...
"Miss, did you do this?" Zhuang Ping asked boldly.
"How heavy is the Sea God statue?" Chuzheng answered confidently. "I had to call you to help move a corpse; do you think I can move the Sea God statue by myself?"
Zhuang Ping: "..."
That seemed to make some sense.
The Sea God statue is huge and heavy; how could one person possibly move it? I must be overthinking.
-
Sea God Temple.
The Great Island Lord looked at the stone platform, where the Sea God statue was usually placed, and saw words written in blood.
