Chapter 40: Revenge on the Spot
"Look, smoke." Suddenly someone said excitedly, pointing to Shen Xiaoxiao's position with a trembling hand, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the wood.
"I seem to see sparks."
"Me too."
Their voices were filled with excitement, and they held each other tightly, staring at each other, afraid of missing anything, and even held their breath, as if they were afraid that if they breathed more heavily, they would not be able to pray for the fire from the sky.
The witch doctor looked excited, her hands clenched tightly, her heart in her throat, could she really pray for the fire from the sky?
Er Ya also looked at Shen Xiaoxiao nervously, she had mixed feelings, she wanted her to pray for the fire from the sky, so that the tribe would have fire to use, but if that was the case, then she would lose, thinking of the bet, she didn't want Shen Xiaoxiao to be able to successfully pray for the fire.
But no matter what she thought, amid people's exclamations, a flame jumped in front of their eyes.
"Fire, it's really fire, she really prayed for the fire."
"She really let us use the fire again. "
The witch doctor looked excited, staring blankly at the jumping little fireball.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't have time to care about them now, but added firewood to make the fire bigger. After all, she had finally got the fire, and she would cry to death if it went out.
After adding enough firewood, she stood up and looked at Erya with a smile, "Hey, fire, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
Erya was stunned and hadn't come back to her senses. She couldn't figure out why Shen Xiaoxiao could ask for the sky fire. Did the beast god recognize her?
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't care what she was thinking. She usually took revenge on the spot. She usually wouldn't leave such a slap in the face overnight. After all, it's not as satisfying to slap in the face the next day as it is to slap in the face on the spot.
"You said I won't succeed, but what is this? "Shen Xiaoxiao chuckled, with a little pride in her eyes. The ancients were not deceiving me, otherwise she would have to take this dumb loss.
Although Shen Xiaoxiao said this to Erya, others felt as if they were slapped hard in the face. After all, they didn't believe that she could really pray for the sky fire, and they prepared these things for her just to laugh at her.
Who would have thought that she really prayed for the sky fire, and they were the ones who were slapped in the face.
Shen Xiaoxiao ignored what others thought, stared at Erya, and said, "You don't want to deny it, the people in the tribe have heard it, you want to be a person who doesn't keep his word?"
Erya's face turned pale and his expression changed unpredictably. Shen Xiaoxiao said exaggeratedly, "No, no, no one will not admit it after losing, there won't really be such a person, right?"
Erya clenched her fists, her eyes were full of struggle, but she soon let go of her hands, and her eyes returned to calm, "Who said I won't admit it? "
Shen Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her hand slightly to signal her to continue.
Er Ya took a deep breath and said, "Before that, I want to know why you can pray for the fire from the sky?" The others stared at her closely with their eyes like torches, wanting to hear what she said, so that they can pray for the fire from the sky themselves next time, and they don't have to worry even if the fire is extinguished.
Shen Xiaoxiao's lips curved slightly, and she opened her thin lips lightly, saying casually, "Who said I prayed for it?" It is clear that the wisdom of the ancestors is the power of science.
Er Ya opened her eyes slightly, "Impossible, if you didn't ask the beast god for the fire, how could there be fire." The others had the same idea.
Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Have you seen me praying to the beast god?" Then, "Or did I do something that made you think I prayed to the beast god for fire? Or do you usually use these things to sacrifice to the beast god? "If they were using firewood for sacrifice, what could she say? She could only say that they were really brave.
The others were silent. Yes, they didn't see any of her sacrificial movements at all. She just rubbed the sticks repeatedly, and then smoke began to come out.
"So, this fire has nothing to do with the beast god. I got it by drilling wood to make fire." Shen Xiaoxiao said lightly, "Of course, if you insist on putting this on your beast god, I don't care. Anyway, the fire has been given to you. As for whether you think it was given to you by the beast god or how you got it, it doesn't matter."
"What I want to say is that if I really join forces with outsiders to extinguish the tribe's fire, it will be impossible for me to help you get fire." She is not idle to do such a thing.
After speaking, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Erya with a smile on her face, "Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise, apologize. "It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but sorry, she is not a gentleman, she just likes to take revenge on the spot.
Er Ya bit her lip and stared at her. Shen Xiaoxiao tilted her head with a smile on her face. Anyway, she was not the one to apologize, so she was not in a hurry.
But Er Ya should not think of denying this matter. She would never agree to it. Who made her keep provoking her? Besides, it was she who brought up this matter. She was just going with the flow.
"Goddess, she is a goddess." Suddenly someone shouted, and Shen Xiaoxiao knelt on the ground before she could react. She looked at them with a confused face and her eyes were full of confusion.
Goddess? She? Are you kidding me?
Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to ignore them directly, but they kept calling her goddess. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yan uncertainly and asked in a low voice, "Are they saying I am a goddess? "
Xiao Yan nodded. Shen Xiaoxiao originally thought he was joking with her, but when she saw his serious expression, she was stunned. She was full of disbelief. She went from being a person who was not welcomed by everyone in the tribe to becoming the goddess of the tribe? Did the transformation have to be so big? Even science fiction movies dare not shoot like this.
She was unsure, "Goddess? Are you talking about me?"
"Yes, goddess, you must be the goddess sent by the beast god to give us the sky fire."
"goddess."
"goddess."
Everyone shouted excitedly, even the witch doctor was very excited.
Shen Xiaoxiao originally wanted to see the witch doctor's attitude, but seeing her look like this, she understood. She knew that she, like everyone else, thought she was a goddess.
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little helpless and looked at Xiao Yan for help. It was the first time she encountered this situation. She really didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, someone kneeling on the ground said that you are the goddess of their tribe. It was very magical. , especially since they were rejecting her just now, and now they changed their attitude. The change was so fast that she couldn't react for a while.
"Get up quickly, I'm not a goddess." Shen Xiaoxiao said helplessly, and the others looked at her stubbornly, "Goddess, do you blame us for our bad attitude towards you before?" They looked at her cautiously, Afraid that she would be angry.
"No." She could understand their approach, "I'm really not a goddess, you are mistaken." If she was really a goddess, she would have gone home long ago, so how could she be trapped here.
After she finished speaking, the others' eyes were filled with pleading, "Goddess, don't abandon us."
"We know we were wrong."
Shen Xiaoxiao felt tired and tried to persuade them to stand up.
