Chapter 278 The Dragon King's Bride



Gu Can walked in directly without even a second's pause.

"Cancan, don't you feel that the room is very cold?" Wen Yi's voice trembled a little.

"Every autumn rain brings a chill. Maybe it's because of the rain these past two days that the temperature has dropped. Did you bring a thicker coat?" Gu Can asked.

"No." She is not afraid of the cold at all. She will always be graceful no matter how cold it is.

"I brought two." Gu Can took out a white sweater jacket from his suitcase and handed it to her.

"It's so warm." Wen Yi put it on and soon felt warm.

"Go wash up quickly."

"I don't dare go back to my room." Wen Yi looked at Gu Can.

"I'll accompany you." Gu Can shook his head helplessly.

The two of them went to Wen Yi's room together and just walked out of the main hall.

"Ah!!!!" Wen Yi screamed in fright.

In the middle of the yard, a bright red wedding dress was floating.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" He Ning and the others ran out when they heard the noise.

"Yes, yes, there is a ghost!" Wen Yi pointed tremblingly at the red wedding dress floating in the yard.

The others took a closer look and were like, "Oh my god! In the middle of the night, with the wind howling and the rain wailing, there's a red wedding dress floating in the air. This scene is so bizarre!"

"Since you're here, why hide your head and show your tail!" Su Li walked to the front and protected everyone behind him.

“I died such a miserable death~~~~~”

"Beautiful ghost, this line is outdated." Gu Can interrupted the spell directly.

“······”

“My death was so unjust~~~~”

"This sentence is outdated."

“······”

"Then what should I say?" After a long time, a serious question was asked.

"Pfft." Wen Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing. The others couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this ghost really that silly? It doesn't look that scary.

"Just tell us what you need us to do." Su Li replied.

"I am Yao Niang, and I am honored to meet you, Master." A red wedding dress fell from the sky, revealing a girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was thin and had a pale complexion, but her facial features were neat, and it was obvious that she was a beauty.

"You are a water ghost!"

"yes."

"You want to be buried in peace so that you can enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"Yes." Yao Niang's dark eyes seemed to have a sparkle.

"Judging from the way you are dressed, you must be from the Ming Dynasty."

"That's right, Yao Niang was born during the Chenghua period."

Gu Can saw a ghost, so he went into the house, took a small stool, picked up a handful of melon seeds, and sat under the eaves. Then he found a row of people sitting under the eaves eating melon seeds.

Su Li looked back and covered her face unconsciously. This Gu Can was too foolish and bold.

This is a female ghost who has lived for nearly five hundred years. Don't think that she is harmless just because she looks harmless.

She has only been in this world for less than ten days, and her strength has not recovered at all. Please don't trust her too much, okay?

Yao Niang told her story in detail.

There are so many people who favor boys over girls nowadays, let alone during the Ming Dynasty.

Yao Niang was from Taohua Village, a remote village with old customs. Yao Niang had five older sisters, and because she was one of twins, she received some love from her parents. Of course, the greatest love was definitely given to the only boy in the family.

Compared with her older sisters, Yao Niang was not greedy and grew up smoothly until she was thirteen or fourteen years old. Twins, a boy and a girl, were a good omen. She originally thought that her fate would be different. Even if it was just to earn a betrothal gift for her younger brother, she would still find a good family.

She never expected that when she was thirteen, torrential rains would hit Peach Blossom Village, nearly flooding it. The villagers were discussing the selection of a bride and offering sacrifices to the Dragon King.

Because of her good fortune, she was the perfect choice for the Dragon King's bride. Her parents took the silver, and when she woke up, she was already at the bottom of the river.

Her soul has been trapped here for hundreds of years. If she wants to reincarnate again, someone must salvage her body and rebury her.

"So, Yao Niang begs the Master to bring Yao Niang's body out from the bottom of the river." Yao Niang spoke so sincerely that He Ning Wenyi was so moved that he wiped away his tears.

"Crack, crunch, crack, crunch." Gu Can was still cracking melon seeds, looking unmoved at all. He Ning and the others couldn't cry anymore.

"The evil old society is so disregarding of human life. Susu, can you help? Hmm." Gu Can directly peeled a melon seed and stuffed it into Wen Yi's mouth.

"Eat your melon seeds." Gu Can stuffed another handful into her mouth. Wen Yi's eyes widened. He looked at Su Li, then at the little girl, and finally at Gu Can. He decisively shut up. It's always good to listen to Can Can.

Seeing this, the others also shut up.

Su Li raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Then she raised her head and looked directly at Yao Niang.

"Are you done? There's more to your story than just this."

"If you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you." Su Li took two steps forward.

"You and your brother are twins, a boy and a girl, but your situation isn't any better than your sisters'. On the contrary, it's because they took care of you that you were able to grow up in peace and security. Yet, you're so ungrateful that you instigated your parents to sell off your sisters."

"No, you're talking nonsense. The birth of a dragon and the death of a phoenix are considered ominous. How could my parents treat me like this?"

"It would have been fine if they were sold to good families, but for more silver, you had your parents sell them to brothels and cruel widowers, leaving them to suffer. You wanted to steal the silver and leave the village, but you didn't expect it to rain heavily and the village had to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King."
