There is only one river in the town.
The Hanyun River is highly valued by the townspeople because the area is underdeveloped and receives little rainfall throughout the year.
It was fine at first.
The townspeople only offered pig heads or cattle and sheep to the river god.
However, the town has been suffering from drought for several years, which has worried the mayor. He consulted a witch doctor, who said it was the river god.
The river god has lived in this river for too long and needs a bride to spice things up.
At first, the townspeople were skeptical of what the witch said, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope for rain and for survival, they did not want to give up.
Human hearts can be warm at times.
But when it comes to their own interests, they may be more terrifying than the devil.
The first river god's bride was only sixteen years old.
He was thrown into the river and died without a complete body, which is quite strange.
Ever since the river god offered sacrifices to the bride.
From then on.
The town is no longer experiencing drought.
This undoubtedly made the townspeople even more devoted to the river god.
There are also requirements regarding the birth time to become the river god's bride.
Five years later.
No one expected that the girl chosen by the river god as his bride was only thirteen years old.
And this little girl happened to be one of Yang Shu's former students.
Although the world is heavily biased towards sons, this thirteen-year-old girl has a particular love for reading and studies very hard.
Every day after finishing my chores, I would secretly peek under the school window to listen.
Yang Shu was naturally well aware of the situation.
But he turned a blind eye to the plight of this girl from a middle-class family.
But who knew that misfortune always seemed to target the unfortunate?
Yang Shu learned that his former student had been chosen as the River God's bride, and he couldn't help but drag his ailing body to save her.
The little girl was eventually rescued.
But he was swept away by the river and disappeared without a trace.
Yang Shu was unaware of this.
Even though he risked his life to save his student, the townspeople still couldn't let the poor little girl go.
Since the sacrificial ceremony has been interrupted.
The town mayor asked the witch to divine a new auspicious time.
Then the chosen bride will be offered as a sacrifice to the river god.
After learning what had happened, Li Muge rushed to the woodshed where the little girl was being held, untied her, and found a safe place to put her.
Changyan came up with an idea: "Ye Luo, how about this, I'll transform into this little girl, and then pretend to be sacrificed by these hypocrites. That way, I'll definitely be able to see the River God and rescue Yang Shu."
"No need for that." Li Muge's eyes sparkled with a smile.
“Since the town here is so concerned about the river god and is actively finding a wife for him, we can turn the tables on him and have the town mayor turn into a little girl to be sacrificed to the river god.”
"We'll sneak up on them then."
"Great idea! Ye Luo, you're so smart! How come I didn't think of such a great idea?"
Changyan raised his hand, intending to give Li Muge a high five.
"Boring." Li Muge curled her lips in disdain.
Seeing this, Changyan grabbed Li Muge's hand with his other hand and raised it to give her a high five.
"Perfect, it's a pleasure to work with you." Chang Yan said with a smile.
But in Li Muge's eyes, he was like a complete idiot.
late at night.
Li Muge and Chang Yan easily cast a spell to knock out the town mayor, turning him into the little girl they planned to sacrifice the next day.
Just then, a noise came from outside, and Li Muge sensed the aura of the Immortal Clan.
Li Muge and Chang Yan exchanged a glance.
Changyan simply transformed the town mayor back to his original form. With a slight wave of his sleeve, the obese town mayor lay back down on the bed and covered himself with a blanket.
His breathing was getting heavier and heavier.
Li Muge was dragged under the bed by Chang Yan.
She didn't want to talk; even if she did, Li Muge would be speechless. Of all places to hide, why hide under the bed? What if someone suddenly looks down at her?
Wuchen and Zhaohua appeared in the mayor's room.
They didn't know why, but when they woke up from their coma, they found themselves back in the past.
Zhaohua and Wuchen also came because of the River God's Bride.
Li Muge's expression was one of bewilderment. Why was Wuchen in this time and space, and why was he in the town mayor's room? Was he also trying to save the little girl who was to be sacrificed?
In a dark space.
The two people hiding under the bed should have been on edge, but Changyan couldn't help but keep glancing at Li Muge, as if this woman was shrouded in mystery.
A sense of mystery that makes it difficult to understand.
As Changyan was thinking, he suddenly inhaled dust from under the bed and couldn't help but yawn.
At the crucial moment, it was Li Muge who tightly covered Changyan's mouth, preventing Wuchen and Zhaohua from catching him in the act.
Chang Yan was stunned. At this moment, he was secretly annoyed with himself for having such good eyesight.
Ye Luo's gentle and delicate appearance seemed to possess an unparalleled attraction in his eyes.
Changyan knew, of course, that his behavior was abnormal.
Even though he was in the celestial realm, and countless beautiful fairies threw themselves at him, he would only feel annoyed.
Why do I feel so strange towards Ye Luo, a human woman?
Chang Yan lowered his eyes.
I suddenly remembered what my master said when he passed away.
If he meets the woman destined for him in the future, she may be his soulmate.
Or perhaps it was his calamity.
Changyan fell into thought.
Was meeting Ye Luo his destiny or his calamity?
Wuchen's purpose in coming to the town mayor this time was not to save the girl, but to kill the mayor.
If he kills the town mayor, he can take his place and obtain the key hidden in the town that leads to the underground city.
Perhaps we can find a way back to our original time and space.
When Li Muge heard the sound of Wuchen killing the town mayor, she didn't think Wuchen was cruel or that he had ruined her plans.
She's just strange.
Whether Wuchen is reincarnated or returns to his original position, he always prioritizes the Three Realms.
Why kill a human without thinking?
"Your Majesty, leave the rest to Zhaohua." Zhaohua turned the town mayor's body into ashes and smoke. She looked at Wuchen's face with infatuation.
Since the mayor is already dead.
Li Muge was too lazy to share a room with Wuchen any longer.
Changyan walked side by side with Li Muge: "Li Muge's original plan has been ruined. What should we do? Should we stick to my original plan?"
"I don't believe you. I don't want to let them off so easily."
“Since the mayor is dead, isn’t there still that witch who’s colluding with the river god?” Li Muge winked at Chang Yan.
Changyan suddenly realized: "Ye Luo, you are so thoughtful. I didn't even think of that."
Despite having developed a thick skin, Li Muge couldn't resist Chang Yan's sincere praise, even though he had been praising her so much.
Under the moonlight.
His long, white hair, coupled with his affectionate eyes, stirred ripples in her heart.
"Cough, cough, alright, stop talking. Let's hurry up and go, before that witch notices and runs away." Li Muge pulled the rope, and Chang Yan immediately followed. Hanyun Village
