My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 542: Chapter 541: You’re the ancestor, as long as you’re happy, that’s good.

From the words of Nuwa Spirit, Shao Zifeng figured out the whole story.

Essentially, it was just a misunderstanding between both parties. The Daxia officials believed that the Nuwa Spirit would awaken after some time of slumber, while the Nuwa Spirit thought that Daxia would make sacrifices for Her, to expedite the recovery of Her strength.

And the crux of the misunderstanding was Her mention of sacrifice.

Shao Zifeng’s astral body sat cross-legged in the void, “I think I probably understand, but there’s one thing I’m still confused about. Could you tell me what exactly is the ‘sacrifice’ you’re talking about?”

The huffing Nuwa Spirit paused, looking at him incredulously, “Have your descendants of Donghuang really forgotten the rites of sacrifice? Then, how do your leaders conduct the sacrificial ceremonies to heaven every year?”

“Sacrificial ceremonies to heaven?”

Shao Zifeng mulled over the unfamiliar yet familiar term. During the feudal era of Daxia’s history, there indeed existed a tradition of the emperor making sacrifices to heaven, but this tradition had been abolished over a hundred years ago, and the term remained strange to him.

He shook his head slightly, “We don’t perform sacrifices to heaven.”

“Not… not perform sacrifices to heaven?” The Nuwa Spirit stuttered as she repeated, then asked somewhat unwillingly to give up, “Then… what about praying for rain? If you don’t make sacrifices to heaven, what do you do about severe droughts and floods?”
