"You can speak Mandarin?" Li Wenli directly approached the child.
Bai Junjun, who had been on guard atop the wall, also jumped down to join the others upon seeing the Fox’s action.
Fortunately, the people treated her almost the same as they did Li Wenli, showing no intention of attacking.
By this time, Li Wenli had already squatted down and said to the child.
"You can speak Mandarin, right?"
The child, not expecting a Celestial God to approach him, fearfully hid behind his father.
However, the father just patted his back and then babbled a few sentences to him, to which the child weakly responded.
The father seemed to disagree and without another word, presented his son before Li Wenli.
The child fearfully lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Li Wenli.
Li Wenli couldn’t help but smile: "Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you, you understand what I’m saying, right?"
The child nodded weakly, still not daring to look up.
Seeing the child afraid of the Fox, Bai Junjun also squatted down and softened her voice.
"Can you tell sister what that uncle just said?"
Finally, hearing this pleasant voice, the child slowly looked up at Bai Junjun then nervously lowered his head again, taking a while before he replied.
"The Clan Leader, he brought us to pay homage to the Celestial God."
"Pay homage to the Celestial God?" Bai Junjun and Li Wenli looked at each other, both seeing the bewilderment in each other’s eyes.
This Celestial God... could it possibly be referring to them?
"Celestial God, can you heal my mother?" the child asked cautiously, seeing that they hadn’t spoken.
"?" Bai Junjun unconsciously glanced at the child: "Your mother is sick?"
The child nodded: "Not just my mom, many people are sick, they are all close to dying."
Saying this, tears began to fall from the child’s eyes.
Bai Junjun frowned, wondering why the Fire-Swallowing Tribe she saw differed so much from the legendary Fire-Swallowing Tribe?
Which one is the real Fire-Swallowing Tribe?
Meanwhile, the surrounding people were nervously watching this scene, and seeing Bai Junjun frown, they tensed up, thinking that the child had said something to upset the Celestial God, and babbled a bunch to the child.
Hearing this, the child frightenedly looked up at Bai Junjun and said, "Celestial God, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry."
"?" Bai Junjun looked baffled, when had she been angry?
"Sister isn’t angry, it’s just that hearing so many people are sick, it made me worried and I frowned. Can you explain the situation a bit more clearly, then we can go and see if we can treat them, okay?"
Li Wenli began to gently persuade again.
The child, without suspicion, wiped his tears and sobbed, "A lot of people are sick, everyone is sick, and the Clan Leader did a divination and said that a Celestial God would descend to help us, and then the Celestial God came, and we... we found the Celestial God’s home."
Bai Junjun and Li Wenli finally understood the whole story.
It turns out people from the Fire-Swallowing Tribe were sick, perhaps even with a plague.
Li Wenli took out a piece of honey from Space and handed it to the child, smiling warmly, "Can you ask for me why they decided to raid the compound and capture our people today?"
The child looked in surprise at the honey Li Wenli had pressed into his hand and, swallowing his saliva, looked up and babbled to the adults.
At this moment everyone was already frightened by Li Wenli’s seemingly spontaneous Immortal Technique; they hardly noticed what the child was asking.
This surely must be an Immortal from heaven, capable of producing honey out of thin air, truly an Immortal!
Hope appeared in everyone’s eyes.
