The person who didn't want to get married but was forced into it was Ye Jin.
Wan Jiao is the one who, despite being married, agrees with not getting married and believes that no man is a good person.
good!
Excellent!!!
…
In the battlefields outside the region, people sleep in tents, and there is no concept of locking the doors.
There was a document that needed Nightfall's signature, and a low-ranking officer went straight into the tent. When he saw Nightfall holding his phone with a frighteningly gloomy expression, he inexplicably started to back down.
But after taking two steps back, he remembered the urgency of the document in his hand and had no choice but to muster his courage and respectfully call out to Nightfall, "Commander, there is an urgent document that needs your signature."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jin looked up from his phone screen and onto the speaker's face. His eyes were chillingly cold, like an icy pool.
The low-ranking officer said: "The commander is looking at me with such cold eyes, like he's about to kill me. I'm really scared."
"Didn't you say you were going to sign it?" Nightfall was already in a bad mood, and the low-ranking official was still delaying in handing him the document, which made him quite irritable. "How can I sign it if you don't give it to me?"
Nightfall's reminder prompted the low-ranking officer to carefully place the document beside him. "Commander, please sign."
Ye Jin glanced at the contents of the document quickly but carefully before taking out his expensive fountain pen and scribbling down the two characters 'Ye Jin' in a flamboyant style.
The lower-ranking official breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the signed document, and quickly ran out of the tent.
When Ye Jin's gaze fell on the phone screen again, he saw Wan Jiao smiling and agreeing with some comments that he, as a man, still found "very offensive".
The small volcano erupted at that moment.
The expensive fountain pen was violently bent by Ye Jin and thrown hard on the ground.
Even though Ye Jin himself didn't know why he was so angry!
…
Wan Jiao suddenly shivered, followed by a deep-seated, extremely bad premonition rising from the bottom of her heart.
This feeling is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.
Wan Jiao had a bad feeling: Oh no, something big is definitely going to happen.
So she stopped wasting time watching netizens chat in the live chat and said directly, "Now I'm connecting with the last person I'm destined to meet today."
She finished speaking immediately, giving everyone no time to react.
The last person destined to meet her was a middle-aged woman, whose nickname was "Fangfang's mother".
"Fangfang's mother" was dressed in the traditional clothing of the Sheng Guo Xianbei tribe (a fictional tribe I created, please don't take it too seriously), and on her head was the silver-adorned hat that was most common among the Xianbei tribe. In this era of popular fashion, she looked quite out of place.
Seeing that Lian was online, she bowed deeply to Wan Jiao and then tearfully began to express her plea: "Master, I beg you to help save my daughter."
Wan Jiao knew very little about the Immortal Stele Clan.
But she couldn't tell from "Fangfang's mother's" face what calamity her daughter had suffered, so she frowned and said, "What happened to your daughter? Tell me in detail."
Fangfang's mother covered her face and wept, but the words that came out of her mouth did not stop at all.
"Master, I am a member of the Xianbei tribe. My daughter, Fangfang, is 18 years old this year, a time of blossoming beauty. Her dream is to become a travel blogger and travel all over the magnificent landscapes of Sheng Kingdom. However, our tribe's high priest claims that he will offer my Fangfang to the river god of the Xianbei River as his bride in order to pray for his blessing upon our Xianbei tribe for a bountiful harvest in the coming year."
The fact that the Immortal Stele Clan has a river god bride is no secret throughout the entire Sheng Kingdom. However, those who know about it simply treat it as a legend.
Sure enough, as soon as "Fangfang's mother" finished speaking, the viewers in the live stream couldn't contain themselves.
[My goodness, it's already 2023? What, do the Immortal Stele Clan still believe there's a river god in the Immortal Stele River who can bless them with good weather and abundant harvests??]
[I thought such practices had disappeared from the Sheng Kingdom hundreds of years ago. What's going on? Has the "cerebellar culture" revived???]
[The dog says: I've only ever seen river gods marry in novels, it's actually true...]
At this moment, "Fangfang's mother" was no longer covering her face and crying; she was wiping away her tears while paying attention to the comments on the screen.
Seeing the netizens' surprise, she sniffed and kindly explained, "Since the existence of the Immortal Stele Clan and the Immortal Stele River, the clan's high priest has sent a bride down to the river god every ten years. In the last ten years or so, it's been an annual occurrence. If the bride is sent too late, either a flood or a drought will occur. In the last twenty or thirty years, families haven't had many children, so sending one a year simply doesn't provide enough suitable girls. My life is miserable; my husband died early, leaving me with only two daughters. Five years ago, it was our family's turn, and Da Ya voluntarily sacrificed herself. Only five years later, they've already set their sights on my Fangfang…"
"Fangfang's mother" was probably really pushed to the limit. Not only did she reveal the "secrets" of their Immortal Stele Clan to more than ten million viewers in the live broadcast room, but she also cursed the Immortal Stele River God, whom the Immortal Stele Clan had worshipped for thousands of years.
"He demands human sacrifices before he'll bless my Immortal Stele Clan. What kind of god is he? I think he's nothing but a devil, a monster!"
Men, women, the elderly, and children all fell silent...
Because if what "Fangfang's mother" said is true, then the so-called "River God of the Immortal Stele River" is indeed not worthy of being called a god.
Using living people as sacrifices has always been the act of evil spirits and demons.
[Host, if what "Fangfang's mother" said is true, you absolutely must save Fangfang!]
So many young women have died in the cold, icy river of the Immortal Stele. How empty is Hell? Why have all the devils come to the human world to wreak havoc?
