Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1847: Chapter 1847: Still Alive

No matter how Sangdian roared, no matter how he threatened the Barbarian Tribe, in the end, he was still put on the barbecue rack.

Uh, before he was tied up, that guy Gao Zhou stripped off his outer garment and put it on himself, with an expression of ”I’m disgusted just wearing your clothes.”

Sangdian could no longer care about his clothes. He angrily cursed Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun, but in the end, he began to plead bitterly. However, the fire was still lit.

The moment he sacrificed a thousand members of the Barbarian Tribe in a Blood Sacrifice, he could no longer earn the sympathy of the tribe’s people.

From the moment he conspired with King Herui, targeting Jiang Yichun for his power grab, Bai Ruozhu had long wished to cut him into pieces.

Unfortunately, his situation was similar to Honglian’s. Saying he had devoured that Yuefeng, just using a knife would be too easy for him, so he was to be burned alive.

In the Fierce Fire, Sangdian screamed in agony, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free. Compared to Honglian’s physical strength, he was far weaker.

Some of the Barbarian Tribe started to cry softly, but it was not out of sympathy for Sangdian, but in memory of their deceased relatives.

Soon, more people began to cry, saying that their loved ones could finally rest in peace.

In the end, almost all the Barbarian Tribe shed tears, saying justice had been served for their fallen comrades.

Perhaps because Sangdian’s body had gone through some bizarre modifications, it took a long time for him to be completely consumed by the fire, emitting a stench that made everyone cover their noses and stay far away.

Bai Ruozhu sprinkled some Drug Powder to guard against any virus in Sangdian’s body. She thought this also increased his suffering; to burn for so long without dying outright, wouldn’t it hurt?

”Madam Bai, the king requests your presence.” An aged voice suddenly came from behind Bai Ruozhu, and she hurriedly turned around to see a Barbarian Clan elder.

Dujin quickly bowed to the elder, ”Priest Sangrong, how is His Majesty the King?”

The elder shook his head, ”His Majesty has words to share with Madam Bai.”

Jiang Yichun and Jiao Ling followed closely, both with a protective demeanor.

However, at the entrance of the tent, Priest Sangrong blocked them with his hand, ”You two should wait outside.”

Jiao Ling was displeased, glaring at him, ”Why, is your king hiding from others?”

Sangrong’s face stiffened a bit, ”No need for such suspicion, madam. You can see Madam Bai from the door. His Majesty is grateful to her and would not do anything harmful.”

Jiao Ling glanced at the distance, and only then did she cease arguing with Sangrong.

Bai Ruozhu nodded to her aunt and Achun, then walked inside slowly.

The king lay on a bed spread with furs, but he was very thin. Covered with a blanket, he seemed almost as delicate as paper.

He lifted his eyelids with difficulty and gestured for Bai Ruozhu to come closer with a withered hand, so thin that it was almost just a layer of dry skin.

Bai Ruozhu was shocked. Were not the Barbarian Tribe known for their strength? Even their elders looked sturdier than Zhongyuan’s. How had the pampered king become so emaciated?

”Madam Bai, thank you. Otherwise, I would not be able to die in peace.” The king’s voice was very hoarse, his throat sounding parched. Bai Ruozhu almost wanted to pour him a glass of water to moisten it.

”I did it only to save my husband and avenge Sangta.” Bai Ruozhu said, her eyes darkening. Unfortunately, the man who scarred himself to save her was now dead.

The king coughed painfully a few times and, gasping, said, ”I’m telling you, Sangta is surely still alive.”

”Wasn’t it said he was devoured by beasts?” Bai Ruozhu was both surprised and delighted, yet fearful it was just the king’s wishful thinking.

”That’s what Sangdian himself said. If he said Sangta disappeared, it means he’s still alive. How could he become king with everyone fully submitting to him? But if Sangta were dead, the Barbarian Tribe could only swallow their bitterness and go on.” The old king spoke with a choked voice, ”It was my failure, not knowing I’d raised such an ingrate.”

The accompanying Priest Sangrong spoke up, ”Madam Bai, traditionally, every king of the Barbarian Tribe has their Life Talisman empowered by a priest. Because His Majesty decided Sangta Prince was to succeed, I also empowered Sangta Prince’s Life Talisman. The talisman can show the king’s fortune and life signs. Though Sangta Prince’s life signs are currently weak, he is definitely still alive!”

Bai Ruozhu, excited, said, ”That’s wonderful! Did you call me to help you find him? Do you have any clue about his whereabouts?”

”We don’t know, which is why we must ask for your help.” The old king said, tears now spilling from his eyes, wetting the cushion beneath his head.

”I’ve spent my life being brash and combative, always wanting to be a hero. But in the end, I failed to guide my child properly. What kind of hero does that make me? Fortunately, Sangta did not disappoint me. Please help me find him, let him be king of the Barbarian Tribe, and lead them to good lives.”

The old king, trembling, took out a Golden Seal, ”This is the Barbarian Tribe’s Golden Seal, keep it safe for Sangta for now, I trust you.”

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth slightly. She wanted to ask why the old king trusted her, having met her for the first time, wasn’t he afraid she might find someone else to be king of the Barbarian Tribe?

But seeing the old king’s effort to speak, she swallowed her words. Since Sangta was still alive, she’d keep the seal for him and watch over his rightful seat.

The old king started coughing violently again, and Bai Ruozhu stepped forward, ”King, let me check your pulse.”

The old king weakly waved his hand, ”I’ve been poisoned by a Poisonous Insect, I’m already at my end, my organs are disappearing, there’s no cure.”

Bai Ruozhu was shocked, secretly called out Furball to investigate, and quickly Furball told her the king indeed had a Poisonous Insect. It could consume the Poisonous Insect, but the king’s organs were already ravaged. Living now depended on the insect. If it devoured the insect, the king’s last breath would also cease.

”Never mind, deal with it later.” She quietly told Furball.

That ”later” meant after the king passed to handle the Poisonous Insect.

”Was it Sangdian who inflicted this on you? Was King Herui from Danliang helping him?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

The old king sighed deeply, ”It’s better not to mention it.”

When Bai Ruozhu left the tent, Priest Sangrong followed her out. Bai Ruozhu looked at the still gathered Barbarian Tribe and announced loudly, ”The king said Sangta Prince is still alive and intends to pass the throne to him. We will help find Sangta.”

Cheers erupted from the crowd; their Sangta Prince was still alive! The prince who taught them to cultivate Cistanche, who took the first batch of Cistanche to repay the debt and exchange for food, and then shared with them was still alive!

Priest Sangrong, following Bai Ruozhu, also wore a faint smile on his face. Suddenly, he loudly declared, ”By order of the king, until Sangta Prince is found, the throne will be temporarily occupied by Madam Bai!”
