Chapter 576 The War God Prince

Jiang Fenghua and Lin Yu would go to the beach every day to chat with the locals about the war. The locals were very welcoming to them, and some even went out to sea to catch seafood to treat them to.

Jiang Fenghua couldn't bring herself to eat the delicious seafood because she remembered how Song Peng had cruelly thrown corpses into the sea.

A month later, Jiang Fenghua saw Xie Shang again at the beach. When he appeared in front of her, she almost didn't recognize him.

She had never seen Xie Shang with a full beard before, and for some reason, she felt more comfortable looking at him.

His skin had darkened considerably, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, exuding a calm and domineering aura. His features were sharp and distinct, his face handsome, and his spirit radiant. Xie Shang, returning victorious from battle, was like a dazzling star.

He slowly walked towards Jiang Fenghua, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Their eyes met, and he smiled slightly at her. Jiang Fenghua stared blankly at his face and spoke first, "You just came back from the sea and didn't even tidy up before coming here. There are so many people here. Just send someone to tell us we're going back."

Suddenly, Xie Shang pulled her into his arms. "I came to find you as soon as I got back."

Jiang Fenghua said nonsensically, "We've been waiting for you to come back. Congratulations on winning the battle and protecting the people of the South."

The people, knowing of the victory, rushed over and saw Jiang Fenghua being held in the arms of a somewhat disheveled man dressed in general's uniform. They all crowded around to watch and whispered among themselves, "So Miss Jiang has a lover, and a great general at that."

"I heard that he is a prince from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that the rumored princess is Miss Jiang?"

"During the war, Miss Jiang kept comforting and encouraging the people of Linhai. She firmly believed that they could drive away the pirates. Unexpectedly, they actually won. It turns out that she was a princess from the Great Zhou Kingdom."

The people shouted, "Your Highness Prince Heng is mighty! Your Highness Princess Heng is mighty!"

"The War God Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom is mighty!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.

The title "God of War" was something Jiang Fenghua had been telling them these past few days. He said that as long as he won a battle and drove back the vassal states, he would be the God of War.

Jiang Fenghua wanted to say that she was not yet the Princess Consort of Heng.

Hearing the people's murmurs, Xie Shang picked Jiang Fenghua up in his arms and said, "I am Miss Jiang's husband, and she is my queen."

Jiang Fenghua was caught off guard by his picking her up and quickly said, "Put me down quickly, everyone is watching, it's so embarrassing!"

For the past month, she has been praying for Xie Shang every day, hoping for his safe return.

"It's been a month since we last met, and I'm not embarrassed to hold my own woman in my arms." He kissed her cheek.

"You have such thick skin, you're naturally not ashamed, so put me down!"

Xie Shang held her tightly, saying, "You have to tell me if you miss me or not. I won't let go unless you say so. Everyone's watching."

Jiang Fenghua was stunned. She wanted to say that she hadn't thought about it, but she had in her heart. She didn't want to deceive herself, so she nodded again, "I have."

Xie Shang kissed her forehead again, and her face flushed red. "Put me down! You broke your promise, everyone's watching!"

"Let them look. Jiang Fenghua is my queen, and I will tell the whole world."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Shang continued, "Now that the Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou have merged into one, this land will be protected by the Great Zhou Kingdom. Everyone can go out to sea and fish as they please, and no one will dare to act recklessly on the land of my Great Zhou Kingdom." By stating his identity, he was demonstrating the position of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

"Thank you all for taking care of the Queen these past few days." He knew that Jiang Fenghua would come to the seaside every day, and the people of the Southern Kingdom were also very concerned about this battle, with many people watching. He just didn't expect that Jiang Fenghua would also give him the title of God of War.

Everyone found Xie Shang to be very approachable. At first, they were quite reserved, but now they are all very relaxed. Having spent a month with Jiang Fenghua, they know that she is not only beautiful but also very knowledgeable. Now that they know she is the princess consort of the War God Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, they like her even more.

The people greeted Xie Shang and bowed, making the scene lively. Jiang Fenghua was so embarrassed that she buried her head in his arms. It was too shameful to be watched by so many people.

Xie Shang smiled and said to everyone, "I will take the princess back first. See you all later."

The people laughed too, "Your Highness, please take care."

Hearing the whispers, Jiang Fenghua dared not move. Xie Shang was thick-skinned and had a full beard; he must have thought that no one would recognize him after shaving.

So, Xie Shang carried Jiang Fenghua away from the beach amidst the stares of the crowd.

At the same time, Guo Xiao immediately found Lin Yu and pounced on her, saying, "You said you would marry me if I made military achievements, and the Emperor would appoint me as the Mighty General. From now on, you will be the General's wife."

"Who wants to marry you?" Lin Yu glared at him.

Without a second thought, Guo Xiao hugged Lin Yu and kissed her, saying, "You can't go back on your word. We've already made it a fait accompli. You're my woman now. The Emperor has already agreed to the marriage and said he'll bestow a marriage upon us when we return to Shengjing!"

Lin Yu said, "What business is it of his of my marriage?"

Guo Xiao quickly covered her mouth, afraid she would say something outrageous, "We slept in the same bed, you can't deny that, can you!"

"Just because we sleep in the same bed doesn't mean I belong to you. I've slept in the same bed with many people, and I'm not one of them." Lin Yu had never actually been close to a man in her life. Although Guo Xiao had slept with her that night, he had only been knocked unconscious and was sleeping next to her; they hadn't had any physical relationship.

So she was still innocent. When Guo Xiao woke up, his clothes were still intact and he knew that he and Lin Yu were completely innocent.

But he just kept clinging to her, saying, "I don't care, I just want you to take responsibility for me."

After saying that, he picked up Lin Yu and left. By the time Lin Yu realized what was happening, Guo Xiao's subordinates started to cheer, "General Guo is mighty! General Guo is going to marry a wife!"

The crowd joined in the commotion, which immediately embarrassed Lin Yu. Her lips seemed to have been sewn shut, and she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Guo Xiao clung to her shamelessly, and Lin Yu tried hitting and kicking him, but he wouldn't let go. "See? Everyone accepts this marriage, so you can only marry me."

Lin Yu had never seen such a shameless man. She rejected him many times, but he never gave up.

She pulled Guo Xiao to a secluded spot where they wouldn't disturb her and explained earnestly, "Actually, you're quite good. You deserve a gentle and charming woman who likes you. I don't..."

"Are you trying to say that you're not gentle or attractive, but I just like you? You don't like being a wife and mother, but I still like you. You only like doing business, so I'll do business with you. You want a carefree life, so I'll go with you. You go to the ends of the earth, and I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. I, Guo Xiao, swear that I will only love Lin Yu for the rest of my life."
