Kelly was so scared that she covered her mouth. She quickly put down the whip and hugged her father, Mark. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Kelly was tearing up. She looked at the blood on her hands and said in a sobbing voice, "Why … why is there blood all over me?"
Mark wanted to trade the God's Blood. All he wanted was a thousand gold coins. With this money, he could leave his slave status and leave with his daughter. He could buy a large piece of land and become a free citizen. He could then get rid of the shackles of being a slave for generations. From then on, he could become a merchant or a craftsman. His children and grandchildren would no longer have to be slaves.
However, Ma Ke did not expect to be betrayed. In a panic, he jumped out of the window to escape, but he was stabbed from behind. After Ma Ke simply bandaged his wound, he rushed to the village where his daughter was. He ran for a day and a night because his betrayed companion knew that he had a daughter here. He had to get there as soon as possible!
Kelly helped her father and drove the sheep back to the sheep pen and their dilapidated house. There was nothing in the house, not even a bed. There was only a mat on the floor!
Kelly helped her father to sit on the mat. Mark leaned against the wall and coughed. "No, Kelly, we have to leave this place immediately!"
Kelly immediately said, "Why? We are slaves. Even if we escape, it will be hard for us to survive. We have no land and no one will accept us! "
Mark laughed. "It's okay, we have this!"
Ma Ke took out a golden gemstone from his bosom. A drop of golden-red blood was floating in it. Ma Ke's eyes immediately revealed an infatuated look. Kelly immediately said curiously, "A gemstone. It's so beautiful. Dad, where did you get it? Did you steal something from the lord? "
Mark shook his head. "No, it's not a gem. It's God's Blood, the blood of God. No one deserves it. Even those nobles, even the emperor, if they can drink the God's Blood, they can become a descendant of God and inherit the power of God!"
"Cough cough! Cough cough! Unfortunately, I don't know how to open it. I can only think of a way to sell it. Kelly, we don't have to be someone else's slave anymore. We can live a rich and free life. Abba will let you marry a respectable person instead of herding sheep here and being tainted by those filthy fellows! "
"That's my biggest wish. It's a pity that your mother died at the hands of those nobles. I really want our family to live happily together and have a piece of land that belongs to us!"
At this time, there was a sudden movement outside. Ma Ke was shocked. He immediately stood up with the help of the wall and looked outside. He saw a group of cavalry coming from the bottom of the hill, and the guy who betrayed him had changed into a set of decent clothes and was riding a horse, leading the way here!
Mark immediately panicked, and a horrified expression appeared on his face. "They're coming, they're coming. Kelly, hurry up and leave. Jump out of the window and hide well. No matter what happens, don't come out!"
Kelly immediately hugged her father. "No, Dad, let's run away together!"
Ma Ke shook his head. "No, I'm too badly injured. I can't run far. Right, take this with you and keep running. Don't look back!"
Ma Ke stuffed the God's Blood Crystal into Kelly's hand and pushed her out of the window. No matter how much she cried and screamed, Ma Ke blocked the window and ignored her. After a while, the movement outside stopped, but the movement outside became louder and louder.
Ma Ke wiped his tears. At this time, he saw the door of the room being kicked open. A few soldiers rushed in and pressed Ma Ke down. They dragged him to a knight outside the door. A nobleman in armor looked down at Ma Ke and tilted his head.
Immediately, a man ran forward and searched Ma Ke's body. Ma Ke spat on his face. "Ian, you traitor!"
Ian kicked him to the ground. "In front of Jin Kuke, whether it's you or me, friendship means nothing!"
Ian searched Ma Ke's body but found nothing. His expression immediately changed. "You clearly have it on you. Where did you hide it? No, where's your daughter?"
Ma Ke laughed. "She ran away long ago. You'll never find the God's Blood. You dirty and despicable people, the God's Blood in your hands is a stain on the Gods!"
The nobleman jumped down and slowly pulled out a longsword with his white-gloved hand. "A slave dares to kill a nobleman, betray a lord, and steal a god-given treasure. Ma Ke, your name has even reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor. Although you're just a lowly slave, I'll give you the honor today. I'll grant you death!"
"I curse —"
Before Ma Ke could finish speaking, a sword pierced through his throat and he died on the ground. The nobleman wiped his rapier. "Search for her. She can't have gone far. Capture her immediately!"
Not long after, a few knights on horseback followed the trail and captured Kelly from the wheat field at the foot of the mountain. Kelly cried as she was carried on the shoulders of the knights. When she arrived in front of her house, she saw her father's corpse being thrown to the side and nailed to a wooden stake!
"Father!"
Kelly's expression froze. "Father?"
However, Ma Ke could no longer respond to her. His eyes were like a pair of dead fish staring at the ground. His head drooped down. His entire body was nailed to the wooden stake like a broken marionette!
The nobleman walked in front of her. "A shepherdess? You're indeed a lowly slave. Where's the God's Blood? Hand it over. How can a person with dirty blood like you have the right to possess such a god-given item? "
However, Kelly could not hear anything at this moment. She stared blankly at her father's corpse. Suddenly, she felt that the entire world had turned gray and white, and her spirit seemed to have floated beyond the heavens.
"Father is dead? Why did this happen? "
"God? Is all of this real? Why did they do this? God, why do you tolerate the existence of such evil? Why don't you punish them? "
When the nobleman realized that this lowly shepherdess dared to ignore him, a wave of anger surged to his head. However, at this moment, he noticed the God's Blood Crystal in Kelly's hand!
"It's really in your hands. Hand it over!"
The nobleman was greedy and longing. He stretched out his hand, wanting to snatch the God's Blood Crystal from Kelly's hand. Suddenly, the God's Blood Crystal in Kelly's hand shone with a golden light. In the darkness of the night, it shone brightly. The God's Blood in the God's Blood Crystal surged and flowed into Kelly's body!
At this moment, everyone was stunned. They watched as shepherdess Kelly's entire body floated up. Her body underwent drastic changes. Deified cells flowed into her body. Kelly did not show any signs of resistance. Her entire body began to fuse with the God's Blood. Her skin began to change little by little. Her appearance became more exquisite, and her figure became more slender. However, the changes within her body and brain were even more intense.
Far away from Maria's World, Lu Zhiyu, who was flipping through the books of the human kingdoms of Maria's World in the dimensional castle, also sensed this scene. He stood up instantly. Even though they were separated by a world, he could still sense Kelly's appearance!
