Chapter 1 The Wedding Night
In the dark and damp cellar at the backyard of Prince Chen's mansion, a tall man had his limbs tied tightly with iron chains.
Through the moonlight shining in, you can clearly see the beautiful face that looks like a succubus. Even the most powerful painter cannot create such a perfect face.
The man's face was covered in blood, but the blood did not look bloody at all. Instead, it added a touch of deadly and seductive beauty.
At this moment, the man with his limbs tied up with iron chains suddenly let out a roar like a trapped beast. The hoarse roar broke the tranquility of the night and sounded very creepy.
He struggled painfully, trying to break free from the chains, his limbs twisted into strange angles.
With blood-red and irrational eyes and a strange and twisted posture, he looks like a complete monster.
"Madam, Madam, you can't go in. The area ahead is a forbidden area in the palace. No one is allowed to go in without the prince's order!"
"Madam, I know that today is your and the prince's wedding day. The prince should be with you, but the prince has a sudden illness and really cannot see you!"
A man dressed as a guard anxiously stopped the woman in front of him who was wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robe.
She was extremely beautiful, with bright eyes, white teeth and skin as white as snow. Her beauty was different from ordinary beauty, it was extremely aggressive and had an inexplicable sense of holiness.
It was as if it was a sin to have any inappropriate thoughts about her.
This person was none other than Princess Wen Ling, who was getting married to the prince today.
The eldest daughter of the Wen family, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was born with complications during childbirth and has been mentally retarded since childhood. It is rumored that her mental state and behavior are no different from those of a six-year-old child.
She now looked completely different from what was rumored.
She went from the bridal chamber to the backyard in search of the prince, and strode in despite the obstruction of the prince's personal guards.
The personal guard found that verbal resistance was ineffective. When Wen Ling was about to step into the yard, he drew the sword from his waist, held it in front of her, and threatened her in a low voice: "Madam, please don't embarrass me. The backyard is a forbidden area. If you take another step closer, I will have to be rude!"
Wen Ling then looked at him.
Her eyes were somewhat ethereal, as if she was looking through her at something in the yard. Although it was clearly the voice of a young girl, it carried an inexplicable deterrent power.
"Get out of the way. The whole yard is filled with resentment. If I go over now, he can still be saved. If I'm half an hour late, he will go crazy forever. There's no hope."
The personal guard was stunned: "What...what grudge? Madam, don't make up such a groundless excuse just to go in and find the prince..."
Wen Ling really didn't have the patience and time to explain to him and make such an ordinary Muggle believe it.
She flicked the guard's forehead lightly with her fingers, and the guard instantly felt as if his soul was ejected from his body.
He saw his standing body, and at one moment saw his great-grandmother.
When he reacted and his spirit returned to its place, he turned around and saw Wen Ling's red figure jumping into the cellar.
He wanted to chase after her, but found that he couldn't move at all.
After Wen Ling jumped into the cellar, he discovered the source of the resentment that filled the yard.
It turned out to be Prince Gu Chenran, whose limbs were tightly locked with iron chains.
Gu Chenran is the master of the palace, no one can lock him up like this.
Considering the rumors in the capital that Prince Chen often suddenly goes crazy, he must know what he looks like when he is sick.
So he deliberately opened up such a place, and because he had a premonition that he was about to fall ill, he locked himself in it.
Avoid losing your mind and causing a disaster.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Gu Chenran is a lunatic, but in Wen Ling's eyes, the man chained in front of her is a different picture.
There was a ball of purple-black beating mist in his chest, like a black heart, and it was indeed trying to occupy the original heart's position.
It is this cloud of fog that exudes ominous energy, constantly attracting the surrounding yin energy and even all negative energy.
Hundreds of resentful ghosts gathered around him, all attracted by the purple-black mist.
But these hundreds of resentful ghosts are not the point. The point is that there is a two-meter-tall blood-red evil ghost that has entangled and tied up Gu Chenran.
The giant evil ghost strangled his neck with its hands and bit his head with its bloody mouth.
The giant evil ghost was stripping away Gu Chenran's will and snatching his body.
At this moment, he was not only in pain, but was also experiencing what the evil ghost had experienced in his previous life.
No wonder Gu Chenran became such a horrible and twisted appearance, if it weren’t for his strong will and tying himself up.
Even if he hadn't lost his life, his body would have been taken away by the evil spirit long ago.
Wen Ling did not hesitate.
As the last word spirit in another world, it is her instinct to eliminate demons and defend justice.
She bit her fingertips and created a complicated talisman in the air. In one go, the blood-red talisman turned golden and floated in the air.
She made quick hand gestures, and her red wedding gown and her cascading hair moved without wind, and paired with her extremely beautiful face, she looked as holy as a goddess.
A seal with a diameter of half a meter slowly appeared in front of her, shining with dazzling golden light.
"break!"
Wen Ling uttered a word softly, and the talismans and seals were cast towards Gu Chenran in front of him.
"ah--!"
Gu Chenran and the evil ghost both let out a shrill scream. The two sounds overlapped and were heard outside the cellar, sounding particularly terrifying to outsiders.
The arrogant evil ghost that had just been tightly entangled with Gu Chenran was beaten out in an instant and forced to leave his body.
It was unwilling to give up, as it was so close, just one step away from success!
It wanted to wrap around Gu Chenran again, but the golden talismans and seals protected Gu Chenran, preventing him from getting any closer.
The black mist on Gu Chenran's chest gradually subsided under the suppression of the golden seal.
The evil ghost glared fiercely at Wen Ling, the culprit who had come to do all this, and then tried to pounce on Wen Ling with his fangs and claws.
Wen Ling just stood there motionless, and the moment the evil ghost pounced on her, a golden light flashed on her body.
The evil ghost let out a painful wail of being burned, and finally glared at her and Gu Chenran. No matter how unwilling he was, he still left.
Gu Chenran regained some consciousness when the seal hit him.
When he looked up, he saw Wen Ling, who was wearing black hair and a red robe, and radiating a holy light.
She seemed like a goddess sent by God to save him when he was in the most pain.
Gu Chenran stretched his chained hands towards Wen Ling, as if he wanted to grab something...
Wen Ling tilted her head slightly and looked at the incredibly handsome man in front of her.
His long black hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his cheeks in a messy manner. His beautiful face, coupled with his wet black eyes, made him look like... a wounded puppy?
Wen Ling didn't know what he was trying to do by extending his hand. After thinking about it, she tentatively reached out her hand and shook his hand back.
The next second, Wen Ling felt dizzy due to overdrawn spiritual power. Her eyes went dark, she lost consciousness, and fell into the arms of the man tied with iron chains.
