The High Priest

"That sounds great." Tasha nodded, still not quite understanding why the middle-aged woman had stopped her.

"Because you were once a slave, I think you must have personally experienced the difficulties of those slaves, so I sincerely invite you to join the association."

"But I'm no longer a slave," Tasha said hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you're kind and you want to help those slaves, it doesn't matter who you are. Kind lady, let me show you around the association. I can guarantee that this trip will not be in vain."

Tasha lowered her eyes. In her mind, she thought back to that night when Lin Lei's eyes were as bright as the stars.

"It's precisely because I understand the pain of losing my freedom that I want to help those who are in the same situation as me. Even if it was someone else, I'd definitely help them. In the future, I'll help even more people, not just you but those who are in pain."

Tasha's gaze was distant. Lin Lei's words from that night were like silk threads around her heart, coiling tighter and tighter.

"I can do it too, right? I'll do my best to help those who are in pain," Tasha muttered.

"Young lady?" A hint of impatience flashed through the middle-aged woman's eyes, but her face quickly returned to its gentle appearance.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted," Tasha said with an apologetic smile.

"I'm willing to visit the association with you. I also want to help the people I can help."

"That's great. A kind girl like you will be blessed." The middle-aged woman was overjoyed.

Tasha followed the woman to a small alley. She suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Due to limited funds, the location of the association is a little remote," the middle-aged woman explained with a smile as if she could see Tasha's uneasiness.

"I see." Tasha nodded in understanding. After all, it was an organization established by slaves. How much money could slaves make? It must have taken a lot of effort to set up the association here.

Thinking of this, Tasha forced down her uneasiness and followed the middle-aged woman into the house.

Bang!

The door was slammed shut. Tasha looked back uneasily but saw the middle-aged woman come forward and hold her arm affectionately.

"Good child, entering this place is like entering your own home. How can you let others have the opportunity to disturb a family gathering?"

"What you said makes sense." Tasha nodded.

Then, Tasha found that there were all kinds of feathers hanging in the house. Crystal balls were placed in every corner of the house, and the place was filled with a strong smell of blood.

She could hear the cawing of crows in all directions.

The house was pitch-black, and only a little light could be seen in the middle.

However, this was not what Tasha was most afraid of. What scared her the most was that there was a crystal coffin in the middle of the room. In front of the crystal coffin stood a middle-aged man in a white robe holding an ebony wand.

The middle-aged woman who brought Tasha over walked to the middle-aged man's side with a smile.

Tasha's face was pale. After taking a few steps back, she turned around and wanted to run away. However, she saw that there were already dozens of young men and women standing behind her in a square formation.

"Hurry up and catch her!" the middle-aged man shouted.

Soon, two strong men with big knives walked out of the darkness and slowly approached Tasha.

"Miss Tasha, as long as you give me your precious body and let me store it in this crystal coffin, you'll be our real family."

The middle-aged man looked at Tasha with a burning gaze. He was already in a state of madness.

"Ancestral God! I pray that I'll be safe and sound!"

Tasha looked at the two approaching men, and the fear in her heart had reached its peak.

The moment Tasha called out to the Ancestral God, a palm suddenly descended, smashing the person in front of Tasha into pieces along with the crystal coffin.

Immediately, the group of men and women behind Tasha were in a mess.

They knelt down and kowtowed continuously while muttering, "Ancestral God, please forgive us."

Tasha was also shocked by the scene in front of her.

Then, she immediately came to her senses and knelt on the ground. She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes. "Thank you, Ancestral God, for your blessing."

Tasha's actions also reminded the people behind her that she was the one who had summoned the Ancestral God and made him manifest.

"From now on, the Ancestral God is my faith. Miss, please be the Ancestral God's high priest!"

When the leader shouted this, the others immediately understood.

"May the Ancestral God bless us! Please be the high priest of the Ancestral God! May the Ancestral God bless us! Please be the high priest of the Ancestral God!"

"No, I'm not qualified to be the high priest of the Ancestral God."

Tasha stood up and turned around to face the crowd.

"Uhh..." Everyone immediately looked at each other.

"But other than you, who else would have the qualifications to be the Ancestral God's high priest?"

Finally, someone in the crowd gathered his courage and asked.

"Bull Butcher."

"May the Ancestral God bless us. Our high priest has been born. Bull Butcher is our high priest!

"Bull Butcher becoming the high priest? Yes, he's quite qualified."

In the temple, the Ancestral God listened to the people's cheers as a faint smile appeared on his face.

As a full day of training was very physically draining, Lin Lei immediately fell asleep upon returning, not even bothering to eat dinner.

Usually, he would sleep all the way until dawn, but this time, it was a little special.

"This isn't right, Ancestral God. Even if you're not sleeping, you can't make me lose sleep too. You have no idea how tired I am right now."

Lin Lei looked at the temple he was in, then raised his head to look at the Ancestral God seated on the divine throne. He could not help but feel like he was on the verge of collapse.

"You little brat, you really don't know what's good for you. You should know that other people would be in fear and trepidation when they see a little of my magic. Only you would complain that I'm disturbing your sleep when you see me in person."

The Ancestral God was in a very good mood, and he did not blame Lin Lei too much.

"Then why did you drag me to the temple in the middle of the night? Do you have any instructions for me?"

Lin Lei let out a soft cough.

"It's actually nothing special. It's just that I thought of when we first met. You said that you would help me gain more followers."

"Ah, I did help you do it."

Lin Lei thought back to how he had bought Tasha and how the Ancestral God had gained a new believer.

"Yeah, you really helped me gain believers. I thought you were just fooling me. I didn't expect you to be sincere in helping me gain believers."

"Huh?"

"You did well. I'm going to reward you."

"Wait, what did I do?"
