Chapter 288 Lord City Lord (Part 1)
Gu Congxin didn't know who she was trying to annoy, but she refused to go to the modern world and instead found an ancient world for her.
Gu Yanjing didn't care. Although he also liked watching movies and playing King of Glory in modern times, ancient times were not bad either. He probably wouldn't have to do anything and could just lie down and play.
Just like this time when he woke up, he was still in bed, and when he tried to get out of bed, he bumped his head and got a bump.
Gu Yan was surprised: ? ? ?
Hearing the noise, Gu Congxin flapped her wings and came in. When she saw Gu Yanjing lying on the ground, covering her head with her hand and looking a little dazed, she felt a chill run down her spine.
He swallowed hard and landed on the table, which Gu Yanjing couldn't reach: "Your Majesty, are you alright? Or should I go and call Lu Lingjun over to help you up?"
"Heh, do you think my appearance is good or bad?" Gu Yanjing moved his numb legs, climbed onto the bed, sat down again, and his face was as cold as if he were covered in ice.
Gu Congxin fell off the table with a thud, knelt on the ground, and looked up pitifully, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to, but this is the only body here that fits Your Majesty the best."
The main reason is that Gu Yanjing's soul is too powerful. Ordinary bodies simply cannot withstand Gu Yanjing's soul. Only those bodies protected by the Heavenly Mandate Emperor and the Heavenly Dao's fortune can barely withstand Gu Yanjing's soul and allow him to enter.
He did have a lot of good intentions.
Gu Yanjing sneered and swept Gu Congxin away with a burst of divine power.
Gu Congxin tumbled and rolled all the way out, getting bruised and battered.
Two minutes later, Gu Congxin struggled to climb back up and asked Gu Yanjing tremblingly, "Your Majesty, do we still want the plot?"
Gu Yanjing nodded, and Gu Congxin gave the plot to Gu Yanjing and went to a corner to lick his wounds by himself. However, before he could finish licking his wounds, he suddenly found that his soul had entered another person's body.
He became human again.
Meanwhile, on the bed, Gu Yanjing was lying there watching the plot transmitted to him by Gu Congxin in his mind.
Well, Gu Congxin has lived through countless different worlds, but his taste remains consistently melodramatic.
Gu Yanjing's identity in this world is the city lord of Huanhua City. This is a world with a magical background, with ten cities. The city lord of each city has unique power, but because these powers are bestowed by the gods, one must sacrifice something of their own in exchange for them.
The city lord of Huanhua City, Huan Qiancheng, whom Gu Yanjing possessed, sacrificed his legs. In other words, every generation of the Huanhua City lord lineage sacrifices their legs.
Furthermore, because of the power of the gods, each generation in Huanhua City will only have one **, and no other bloodlines will appear.
The power of Illusion Flower City is illusion magic. This power can trap enemies in the illusions it weaves at any time, and unless they have great perseverance, even the Heavenly King himself cannot wake up.
However, this happened to the previous city lord. The old city lord was a womanizer. Even though his leg was broken, he still liked to have affairs everywhere. Unfortunately, he was good-looking and he bewitched young girls, who would clamor for him to have their babies.
As a result, besides the city lord's wife, a courtesan actually became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter for the old city lord.
A courtesan came to the old city lord with her child, but the old city lord believed that his bloodline could not possibly have any other children, especially a daughter.
Their family has always had only one son, and that son is the only male heir.
The courtesan, seeing that giving birth to a child would not bring her wealth and status, sold her daughter to human traffickers.
The traffickers took the child to the mountains and sold her to a family that couldn't have children. The family didn't mind that the child was a girl and named her Nan Wan'er.
Yes, that's right, it's Nan Wan'er again.
When Nan Wan'er was a child, she was innocent and lovely. However, when she turned eighteen, her father fell down a mountain and was seriously injured. Her family was poor and could not afford medical treatment. Therefore, at the age of eighteen, Nan Wan'er had no choice but to marry the young master of Binghuang City, which was next to Huanhua City, to bring him good luck.
Well, the young master of Ice Phoenix City is blind and sickly. He has grown up with many bumps and bruises, and now that he is almost twenty years old, he has fallen seriously ill. The city lord had no choice but to ask the city lord of Divine Calculation City to tell his fortune in order to let his only son live a few more days and at least be able to have a child.
The city lord of Shensuan City calculated Nan Wan'er's location, and immediately sent people to bring Nan Wan'er and her whole family back.
Whether or not Nan Wan'er's method was truly effective, the sickly young city lord gradually recovered. After recovering, he no longer liked Nan Wan'er, who grew up in the mountains, and instead fell in love with his childhood sweetheart.
Then the two of them started bickering. The young city lord's childhood sweetheart turned out to be a black lotus flower. She plotted to kill Nan Wan'er and even stole Nan Wan'er's identity, making her the sister of the city lord of Huanhua City and marrying the blind young city lord.
However, the young city lord miraculously discovered at this moment that he actually liked Nan Wan'er.
As the saying goes, belated affection is worthless than grass. After witnessing someone else's life as a spirit, Nan Wan'er was reborn.
Gu Yanjing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at how clever they were at making things so complicated.
This early morning story is full of old tropes and plot points from ancient Chinese romance novels, each one completely unique. It's amazing.
Despite being reborn, Nan Wan'er still married him. After curing her adoptive father, she took the initiative to contact the city lord of Huanhua City. In the end, she divorced the blind young city lord and returned to single life.
Then came a series of dramatic events, and in the end, the two people, who had experienced two lifetimes together, actually ended up happily together. As for Huan Qiancheng, who had possessed his body, he sacrificed himself to save the poisoned Nan Wan'er, thus fulfilling their wish and allowing Nan Wan'er to inherit his position as city lord.
In response, Gu Yanjing could only say that this blind young city lord was quite a wolf in sheep's clothing. Wasn't he afraid that his bedmate would stab him in the middle of the night? You can't be so carefree just because you can't see.
Just like him, sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night and sees Lu Lingjun's face, he can't help but touch his sword, wanting to stab him with it.
Gu Yanjing woke up after watching the plot, just as Yu Nu, a personal guard serving Huan Qiancheng, entered.
The Yu family has been the shadow of the city lord for generations, but this shadow is an open shadow, a guard, or even a servant.
However, the previous Yu Nu is gone, replaced by Gu Congxin.
Gu Congxin sneaked in through the door, even glancing outside to see if there were any people there.
"Your Majesty, why did you turn me into a human?" Gu Congxin pushed the wheelchair over to Gu Yanjing, letting Gu Yanjing get in by himself.
In the past, the original owner was always carried up by Yu Nu.
To avoid trouble, Gu Yanjing simply replaced Yu Nu with another one, but he certainly couldn't tell Gu Congxin the reason behind it.
"So you can easily find Nan Wan'er to fight with."
Nan Wan'er is still holed up in the mountains, probably furious.
Gu Congxin immediately fell silent, pushed Gu Yanjing out for a stroll, had a meal, and casually sent his bunch of useless subordinates to check where the blind young city lord was.
By the way, also look for someone named Lu Lingjun.
It doesn't make sense that Lu Lingjun didn't come along.
Right now, deep in the mountains, Nan Wan'er is having a headache.
She's always had a storyline, but this is the first time she's encountered one that's so tricky.
Just like the adoptive father in front of me, who is about to die.
To be honest, Xiaobai, who had just transmigrated and wasn't a novice at it, didn't really have any feelings for this old father. Her only conscience made her want to save him.
Don't spout any nonsense about being a good son or daughter-in-law.
The original owner was treated well, not her. In fact, she was just a byproduct of the transmigration. I don't know how to put it.
Nan Wan'er and her elderly mother finished their meal with sorrowful expressions, and then the people from Ice Phoenix City arrived.
This time, she went alone, leaving only the doctor behind.
She doesn't have many expectations now. The only thing she wants is for that blind young city lord to be her husband, Devouring Heaven.
Thinking about it that way, the possibility doesn't seem too low.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanjing received a message from Ice Phoenix City saying that the blind young city lord had suddenly recovered and was now lively and energetic, and was making a fuss about returning the woman who had come to bring him good luck.
The old city lord asked him if he still wanted his childhood sweetheart, but the blind young city lord said he didn't want her anymore. He also wanted to go on a diplomatic mission to Huanhua City to establish diplomatic relations between the two cities, and incidentally arrange a marriage alliance or something similar.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yanjing knew who the blind young city lord was.
If it weren't for Lu Lingjun, he would have gouged out his eyes and given them to that blind young city lord.
Sure enough, a month later, the blind young city lord arrived. It was Lu Lingjun. As soon as he arrived, he seemed to have eyes. He walked behind Gu Yanjing and skillfully pushed Gu Yanjing's wheelchair.
The bride who was jilted, Nan Wan'er, also came, carrying the token that the scumbag old city lord of Huanhua City had given to the brothel girl, to acknowledge her family.
However, Lu Lingjun entered, while Nan Wan'er was kept outside.
Ordinary people cannot enter the city lord's mansion, even if they have a so-called token.
It's not that the guards are bragging, but even with the old city lord's pathetic attitude, they would encounter one or two people coming to claim kinship with tokens every month while they were guarding the gate.
In the end, which one was true?
Even if it were true, so what? The only heir of the Huan family has already inherited the position of city lord and is staying there peacefully.
It's better if the bastards outside don't come back; if they do, the woman won't care, but the man will likely face certain death.
Nan Wan'er squatted dejectedly by the roadside, feeling extremely hungry.
She couldn't find the Devouring Sky, couldn't enter the City Lord's Mansion, and was even short of money. The people of Ice Phoenix City were really stingy; when they kicked her out, they only gave her a pittance, not even enough for her travel expenses. She was utterly cheated.
Nan Wan'er stared intently at the shop not far away, feeling that her situation was exactly like a scene from a TV drama.
Believe it or not, she had acted in this scene before in her previous world.
What did the director say back then? He said she was unprofessional in acting, didn't look hungry or greedy at all, and didn't seem like someone who was about to steal.
Now, Nan Wan'er felt that she looked like someone who wanted to steal, and when the shop owner across the street saw her, he immediately glared at her fiercely and ordered the waiter to chase her even further away.
Nan Wan'er almost cried from anger.
This is outrageous! Look what happened! Look what happened! Do you think this will make your family lose one member?
Then, as Nan Wan'er walked away, she saw her dog being picked up—another cage of them.
The basket of delicacies that made her mouth water was carried to her and brought to her: "Wan'er, are you hungry? Here, have some delicacies."
The man squatted down and held a ** to her mouth.
Looking at Tuntian's handsome face, Nan Wan'er couldn't help but pout. In an instant, all the grievances she had on the way erupted, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she cried, gasping for breath.
With a sigh, Tuntian dropped the **, held Nan Wan'er in his arms, and kissed her dirty little face tenderly.
Nan Wan'er pushed Tun Tian's face away somewhat embarrassedly: "No, I haven't showered for three days."
If you don't have money to stay in a guesthouse, you won't have anywhere to take a shower.
"It's alright, I don't mind. My Wan'er still smells sweet." Tuntian smiled, pressed her down and kissed her, then carried Nan Wan'er aside to finish half a basket of food.
Nan Wan'er couldn't help but burp after eating so much; she felt so full.
"Why are you only arriving now?" Nan Wan'er asked Tun Tian only after she had finished eating.
"After I transmigrated here, I was in the Hidden Clan. The Hidden Clan's territory is too far away. It took me a long time to find my Wan'er." Tuntian took Nan Wan'er to an inn, bought her some clothes, and asked someone to give her a bath.
Nan Wan'er sat shyly in the bathtub while Tun Tian washed her hair.
"Then where are His Majesty and Lu Lingjun?" Nan Wan'er blushed, resisting the urge to kick Tuntian out.
Oh dear, even though we've been married for a long time, I'm still so embarrassed.
"His Majesty is here. He is the city lord of Huanhua City. As for His Majesty Lingjun, you should know him. He is the blind young city lord who almost married you."
Tuntian washed Nan Wan'er's hair and was about to rinse it when he saw Nan Wan'er plunge into the bathtub and not come out for a while.
"Damn it, I almost married Lu Lingjun! Luckily I was kicked out, otherwise His Majesty would have skinned me alive if he found out."
Thank God, thank the earth, thank the Heavenly King, for saving her life.
"Wait a minute, if that's the case, then I'm His Majesty's sister now." Nan Wan'er felt a sense of relief, but then she thought about her current identity.
He's starting to act a bit timid again.
The fact that she is the Emperor's sister makes me realize that it is actually quite dangerous.
The main problem is that Gu Yanjing is a person who cannot be viewed through a normal lens.
“Yes, but I advise you not to go and claim kinship. His Majesty is probably going to be very irritable lately.” Tuntian said speechlessly, wrapped Nan Wan’er in his clothes and threw her onto the bed.
"Why?" Nan Wan'er asked, turning around with a curious expression as she put on her clothes.
"Lu Lingjun has come to see His Majesty, and has brought a letter from the state requesting a marriage alliance." Tuntian smiled.
"A letter of state? Does the old city lord know that Lu Lingjun likes men?" Otherwise, why would he have given him a letter of state?
