Qin Yunyun had only caught a glimpse of this man on the beach before, but she remembered him instantly. She was a saintess with supernatural abilities who could communicate with the Fish God, so she deserved to have such a handsome man!
She haughtily raised her chin, pointed at Su Qingcai, and shrieked, "He is the Fish God whom I, the Holy Maiden, specially summoned from the bottom of the sea to punish you arrogant and rude people! Now I'm here to take him to the Qin family, so you uncouth fishermen should get out of my way!"
Su Qingcai frowned deeply, and his gaze toward Qin Yunyun was extremely unfriendly.
He had some doubts that the woman who had imprisoned and abused him in his previous life was the one in front of him, since there couldn't be two "saintesses".
Then, what about the fish-shaped mark on Su Xiaoning's arm?
Did you draw it yourself because you were bored?
Su Xiaoning rolled her eyes at the sound of her voice, but since she had just told the villagers that Su Qingcai was her brother, she immediately stood in front of Su Qingcai with a cold smile on her face.
"Stop acting like a saintess or a fish goddess all the time. There's a limit to how much you can play games. Aren't you tired of pretending to be a princess all the time? You're not after my brother's good looks, are you? You don't want to take him home and lock him up, do you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qingcai's face darkened further, and a chilling aura instantly enveloped the Xu family's courtyard.
"You! How dare you be so disrespectful to me? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!" Qin Yunyun was furious. She untied the long whip from her waist and swung it at Su Xiaoning.
"Smack—"
Su Xiaoning was stunned, as were the villagers in the courtyard. Only Su Qingcai, whose back had been struck by a long whip, gritted his teeth tightly, the burning welts causing cold sweat to pour from his forehead.
His sharp gaze swept over Qin Yunyun, looking at her as if she were a dead person: "You mean, I am the Fish God?"
He curled his lips into a wicked smile: "Your faith in the Fish God is just to let you whip me?"
The villagers in the courtyard gasped, all trembling as they looked at Qin Yunyun. Even the few Qin family members who had been coaxed back behind her cast their gazes over, their expressions carrying a hint of reproach.
The Qin family's status in Carp Village was due to Qin Yunyun's unpredictable and somewhat strange abilities, but now the villagers are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Qin Yunyun's arrogance and recklessness, and the Qin family's status is no longer as useful as before.
"No, that's not it!"
Qin Yunyun, being a chivalrous woman, pointed at Su Xiaoning and cried out, "I...I didn't mean to hit you! I just wanted to teach that wretched beggar a lesson! She...she actually dared to talk back to this holy maiden..."
"Holy Maiden?" Su Qingcai's eyes flickered slightly. He looked down at her with his arms crossed and sneered, cautiously probing, "This Fish God seems to know nothing about any Holy Maiden. What kind of Holy Maiden are you? I'm curious, how did you manage to convince the villagers that you are a Holy Maiden?"
"Of course I am the Holy Maiden, just look at what I have..." Qin Yunyun curled her lips smugly, but her face suddenly turned deathly pale when she rolled up her sleeves.
The fish-shaped mark on her hand has disappeared!
Qin Yunyun's hand, which was resting on her sleeve, suddenly paused. She glanced at everyone with an extremely unnatural expression and said in a firm tone, "In short, if it weren't for me, Carp Village wouldn't be in this state now. Everything I've done is for your own good. Do you really want to betray me after I've served my purpose?!"
The villagers remained silent, at a loss for what to do.
After all, when the Qin family's daughter first developed her supernatural abilities, she did bring them a lot of good luck.
But after the villagers revered her as a saint, she started to put on airs everywhere. Not only her, but anyone in the village with the surname Qin became arrogant and domineering. She even angered the old village chief so much that he was bedridden and forced the villagers to release the fish they caught and use their own food to feed the fish!
Does being a saint mean disregarding the lives of the villagers and forcing them to offer fish and shrimp, which are supposed to be their food and source of income, all day long?
Su Xiaoning couldn't bear to watch any longer. In the past, the original owner of this body was an orphan. On days when she could eat fish, she could pick up some fish and shrimp on the beach and mix them with the rice given to her by the villagers to make ends meet. But later, she could only eat seaweed until she starved to death...
She loved this beach and the simple, honest villagers of Carp Village. Now that she was here, she had to live well for the deceased Little Girl and seek justice for the villagers!
She rolled her eyes and suddenly exclaimed, "If you really cared about the villagers, why would you let them feed the fish with their own food? My brother sensed that I was about to starve to death, so he appeared to save me! Those aunties over there should know best that I was almost dead on the beach before, and you were the ones who kindly dug a hole for me!"
"Huh? That's right, the little girl was indeed dead before, but then she was able to get up and catch fish to eat. Could it be that she really had the guidance of the Fish God?"
"If that's the case, it does make sense. After all, Little Ni just said that Lord Fish God and she are siblings!"
"In that case, the little girl should be the saintess, since the fish god appeared specifically to save her..."
Su Qingcai glanced at Su Xiaoning, his deep, narrow phoenix eyes filled with a dark expression. He suddenly grabbed Su Xiaoning's arm and pushed her sleeve up, gesturing to everyone: "If you say the Holy Maiden is based on this, then you might as well see it with your own eyes!"
Carp Village has a good geographical location. If he can develop it into his own territory, he will be able to attack or defend as needed. Even if he has to go back to face those people in the future, he will be more confident.
As for the women who abused him in his past life, two of them have now appeared. One is tyrannical and brainless, and the other doesn't seem very smart either. They are both just trying to survive under his control. Once he determines which one is his true enemy, the long-empty No. 1 cell in the Heavenly Prison will be occupied...
"Huh? Why are there two marks?"
The villagers whispered their questions, and the Qin family members also turned their attention to Su Xiaoning. Su Xiaoning was completely bewildered. Was this fish-shaped mark a tattoo that the original owner had made on her body when she was not busy?
Qin Yunyun's eyes were filled with shock and panic. Her feet unconsciously took a step back. Yes, go home and find Father. Father and Brother can definitely solve this...?
