The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO

77: Chapter 76: Ominous Woman 77: Chapter 76: Ominous Woman “Meiduo, you dance first; I have something to discuss with our leader,” Wang Dadong released Meiduo’s hand.

Still harboring the feudal notion of male superiority, Meiduo naturally didn’t question her man’s words.

She nodded obediently and then joined the other girls in dancing.

Seeing such a compliant and sensible Meiduo, Wang Dadong found it even harder to refuse her.

Seemingly influenced by everyone’s enthusiasm and openness, the Female CEO started to let go more and more, gradually daring to do some of the shyer moves.

She was dancing with several men at the moment when Wang Dadong pulled her over.

“President Lin, you’re dancing quite happily,” said Wang Dadong, his face carrying a hint of jealousy.

The Female CEO pouted, “You and Meiduo seemed to be having a great time too.

Hey, Brother Zhaxi, that silver belt of yours is pretty nice.”

Mentioning Meiduo made Wang Dadong feel a headache coming on, and he said with a sorrowful expression, “President Lin, please don’t make fun of me.

Otherwise, go tell Meiduo that we’re already married.”

“Anyway, since we’re not married, I think Meiduo is quite nice.

Why don’t you just marry her?” the Female CEO said unscrupulously.

“Fine, but remember you said this,” retorted Wang Dadong angrily, walking directly to Meiduo’s side and lifting her up, once again starting the lift dance.

While dancing, he still gave Lin Shiyan a challenging look.

Little did he know, the Female CEO sent back a ‘who’s afraid of who’ expression.

That expression seemed to say, if you’re not afraid of being cuckolded, what do I have to fear?

Soon, the Female CEO also joined hands with several young men and started dancing.

Anger made Wang Dadong’s eyes nearly shoot out flames.

“Brother Zhaxi!” Meiduo’s cry of surprise snapped Wang Dadong awake.

Turned out Wang Dadong had been so focused on Lin Shiyan that he forgot Meiduo was still in the air.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, catching Meiduo just as she was about to hit the ground and gently pushing her up, making her bounce back into the dance.

This harrowing moment immediately won them a lot of applause.

However, Wang Dadong dared not be distracted any longer, fearing he might accidentally drop Meiduo.

Their open competition and secret rivalry only made the bonfire party even more exciting.

The people here were incredibly purehearted, seemingly happy every single day.

They worked from sunrise to sunset and spent the evening around a bonfire singing and dancing.

Although it couldn’t compare with the glitz of a bustling city, it was a simplicity that made one long for it.

If it wasn’t for the massive corporate group she carried on her shoulders, Lin Shiyan might even have wanted to live in this simple but joyful community permanently.

Suddenly, a deep horn call sounded across the open field.

All the Zhuanghu people who were singing and dancing stopped immediately and knelt down on the spot.

“What’s happening?” the Female CEO seemed not quite to have caught on.

“This is the call of the Witch God; everyone must kneel,” said the young man who was dancing with Lin Shiyan, his face full of piety.

Wang Dadong quickly pulled the Female CEO down to squat as well.

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Although he did not believe in any Witch God, he still respected their beliefs.

The horn call was melodious and resonant, pleasant to the ear and lasted for about half a minute before it ended.

Once the horn call was over, everyone rose to their feet.

“Brother Hazha, what has happened?” Wang Dadong couldn’t understand the meaning conveyed by the horn.

Hazha shook his head, “We don’t know yet, but the horn that just sounded means the Witch God has important directives.

Now, everyone must gather at the Village Chief’s doorstep; however, Brother Zhaxi, you don’t have to go.”

“The Witch God sounds quite interesting.

Let’s go take a look together, shall we?” the Female CEO looked at Wang Dadong.

Although she had only been here for a few days, the Female CEO was already completely fascinated by the various exotic customs of this place.

Wang Dadong nodded, and the two followed the crowd toward the Village Chief’s home.

The Village Chief lived in a huge tower, which was now filled with people.

The Witch God was their most revered deity, and to them, the words of the Witch God were divine decrees.

Therefore, no matter if it was men or women, elderly or children, pregnant women, ill people, or the injured, everyone came.

Even if someone was too sick to get out of bed, they would be carried over.

In front of the tower was a large lawn, where at this moment a young man wearing a black headscarf, holding a steel fork, and with his face painted in various colors, danced with strange movements, making incomprehensible noises.

Everyone looked at the young man with devout eyes; he was the Witch Envoy, the messenger of the Witch God.

“Brothers and sisters, do you know why our Hasa Village has suffered such misfortune?

It is because an ominous woman has appeared in our village.

It is she who has brought us misfortune.

The great Witch God has instructed that she must be offered as a sacrifice.

Only then can our Hasa Village be spared from this misfortune,” the Envoy finished speaking and began dancing and gesturing again.

After the Witch Envoy had spoken, everyone’s faces changed, particularly the women present who were afraid that they might be the ominous woman mentioned by the Witch Envoy.

“Everyone knows, a month ago, a strange illness appeared in our village.

Those who contracted it suffered severe pain throughout their body and were beyond the healing of medicine stones.

Even Granny Yangjin, the most skilled in medicine, was helpless,” said the Envoy, looking towards Granny Yangjin.

Granny Yangjin nodded, “That’s right, I have not found a treatment yet.

I can only use herbal soup to provide temporary relief to the condition.”

Wang Dadong remembered that on his first encounter with Granny Yangjin, he indeed saw several sick people lying in her house.

But he did not know that those people had been ill for a month already.

“But rest assured, as long as we sacrifice that ominous woman to the great Witch God and enshrine her in the Witch God’s temple for three days, then perform a cremation ritual, the misfortune of our Hasa Village will be resolved, and all of our sicknesses will disappear,” the Envoy spoke loudly.

“Who exactly is that unlucky woman?” someone asked, which was the most pressing question on their minds.

“The Witch God has said, that ominous woman is…” the Envoy’s gaze swept over the faces of the crowd.

All the women could not help lowering their heads, their hearts filled with unease.

Only Lin Shiyan met the Envoy’s gaze without any evasion, thinking that she was not from here anyway and did not need to abide by these strange rituals.

Seeing Lin Shiyan, a fierce light immediately flashed across the Envoy’s face, but it was quickly repressed.

At last, the Envoy’s gaze settled on Zhuoma.

“She is the ominous woman!” the Envoy pointed at Zhuoma with his steel fork as he spoke.

“So it’s her!”

“Of course it’s her, didn’t you see how she brought death to her own man!”

The crowd suddenly became noisy.

Hearing that she was the ominous woman, Zhuoma did not show much sadness on her face; instead, she walked out from the line expressionlessly.

Her husband had died before they could even celebrate their marriage, and she could never marry again.

Zhuoma felt that life had become meaningless for her already.

This was perhaps a fitting release for her.

In the eyes of the people here, the Witch God was a supreme entity.

Although the Witch Envoy was not the Witch God himself, his words were considered the Witch God’s will, and so there would be no resistance.
