Li Yanyan was also terrified at this moment. Her tears fell, drop by drop.
"WHIMPER... Don't kill me!" she cried. "I'm a child born under a lucky star. People say that if someone bullies me, they will suffer great misfortune. If you kill me, you'll definitely suffer great misfortune. Great Wizard, can you spare my life?"
"Rest assured, in today's ritual, you won't die!"
Today's ritual required a total of forty-nine boys and girls, but only forty-eight of them would die. The forty-ninth was this child with immense luck. She would be a living sacrifice, placed into a crystal coffin filled with various Arrays that would turn her into one of the living dead. Then, carrying the national fortune of Great Han, she would be transported to the royal court of Nanjiang. From then on, she would be the source of Nanjiang's national destiny.
"Really? Great Wizard, you're not going to kill me?"
Upon hearing that she wouldn't die, Li Yanyan's face filled with excitement and uncontainable joy.
