The more Ji Han spoke, the sadder she became. In the end, she squatted on the ground and sobbed.
Lu Benwei pursed his lips helplessly.
"Ji Han, don't you realize that the people who died were all young girls like you?"
Ji Han raised her head with tears in her eyes.
"What I mean is, perhaps the condition your tribe reached with the Monster Ape is to sacrifice young girls like you."
After a pause, Lu Benwei did not say the word "rape".
"Nonsense!" Ji Han stood up from the ground.
She put her hands on her hips and accused Lu Benwei. "The tribe leader and my parents will harm me? Besides, the Monster Ape has protected us so many times. I won't allow you to slander it."
Lu Benwei sighed helplessly. "But think about it carefully. Why do those girls never come back every year when they go out to pay the tribute?"
Ji Han's face turned red. She suddenly realized that something was wrong.
