Fragrant willow catkins

In a bamboo house in the mountains, a young man's shouting cut through the sky.

"Liu Chenxiang! Stop right there! What's the fun of running around the bamboo house?!"

At the fence outside the bamboo house, a man and a woman were playing a cat-and-mouse game, with one chasing the other.

Liu Chenxiang hid behind the pile of firewood, guarding against the man's next move. She would run away if he moved!

Liu Chenxiang: "You told me to stop? I'm not that stupid."

The man was so angry that he couldn't stand still. "You're not stupid? If you're not stupid, why are you cheating on your own husband?"

Liu Chenxiang complained in a tepid voice, "Please, it's you who's having fun with other women, and you're so happy. I should be the one being cuckolded." Still not satisfied, she added, "I should be the one who's sad!"

That was true, but one could not hear the slightest sadness in Liu Chenxiang's words; there was even a hint of triumph.

"Heh." The man was so angry that his head hurt. "How dare you say that? Who said he was taking me to a fun place, and then blindfolded me and took me to a brothel? You left me behind and ran away!" "You've made me lose all my face!"

As a result, he was surrounded by a group of beautiful women and was extremely embarrassed.

Liu Chenxiang: "Brother Congyun, you have a thick skin, it won't fall off completely, don't worry."

They met five months ago, and Yin Congyun finally got the girl. They got married two months ago. However, his wife was evil and noisy, and she would bring him shocking surprises every day.

The streets of the town are bustling with activity. This place looks like a small town, with ordinary people wearing ordinary clothes and busying themselves with making a living.

However, at the end of the street, on the main street, a group of people surrounded a woman in a corner, led by a few angry young men who were dressed slightly better. The others were almost all there to join in the fun.

"Hey! You little brat! Didn't you see you bumped into our boss?!"

The woman put her hands together and smiled apologetically, "Brothers, I'm really sorry, I'm blind and didn't see you."

Although she said this, she was really speechless. She was just walking and yet someone tried to scam her. Her luck was really bad.

Seeing the young man approaching with ill intentions, the woman instantly became alert.

Younger brother: "Look at your condition. If you pay... you can only be my boss's maid."

Although the woman had an ordinary appearance, she had a good figure. These men were well-known lechers in the town, and they knew their intentions at a glance.

The woman still smiled and apologized, "How dare I, a careless and clumsy person like me, be your maid? Just tell me the amount and I will compensate you."

The young master, surrounded by his younger brothers, stood with his arms folded, "Ten taels."

As soon as he said this, there was inevitably chatter around him. In their remote town, ten taels could cover the food expenses of ordinary people for several months. For a few young masters, it was just pocket money, but this girl looked like the daughter of a poor family. She had to pay this amount for just a collision, without causing any damage...

The woman was silent... She couldn't tell for a moment whether this group of people were robbing her for sex or money...

The younger brother saw her embarrassment and laughed shamelessly, "Oh, I told you to come to the mansion and be our young master's maid. This way you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. How great is that!"

Having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life is a great temptation for everyone, but everyone knows that once a woman enters your house, her innocence will be lost sooner or later.

But Liu Chenxiang didn't want to waste the ten taels of silver...so she searched for her target in the crowd, trying to evade paying the ten taels of silver.

She quickly found a man in the crowd. He had a good figure and good looks, and his face looked like he was watching a show.

This made Liu Chenxiang very unhappy.

So Liu Chenxiang instantly pushed the person in front of her away and ran towards the man, just falling into the man's arms and holding him tightly without letting go.

The onlookers were stunned when they saw this scene, and even the man was no exception, not knowing where to put his hands.

Then Liu Chenxiang shouted, "Husband! You are finally here! You can't just ignore me!"

The young master had a ferocious expression on his face. This man had been standing there for a long time. How could he be the husband of this girl!

The younger brother was very considerate and said, "Who are you? I told you not to meddle in other people's business!"

A group of people walked towards the man and surrounded him.

The man remained calm and looked back at them without fear. He pulled Liu Chenxiang's arm, and Liu Chenxiang hid behind him. "I say, in broad daylight, it's a bit inappropriate to forcibly seize a woman, right?"

"Tsk!" The younger brothers laughed, "My young master just took in a maid. How could you see that she was robbed?"

"That's right! She said she would pay compensation, but in the end she couldn't pay it, so she can only do hard labor to pay it off!"

Yin Congyun has been in the martial arts world for many years and has seen a lot of things like this. He didn't care much about it in the past, but since this girl has come to him, it would be unreasonable for him to ignore it.

Yin Congyun: "I will pay back whatever silver my wife owes."

He took out his wallet, pulled out a silver ingot and threw it to the younger brother, "Is this enough?"

I took the silver and gave it to his young master. The young master looked very unhappy. He didn't expect to meet such a tough guy today. He had to pay back the silver. What excuse did he have to rob people?

There was no other way, so the young master brought his little brother, cursed a few words, glared at Yin Congyun, and then turned and left.

Yin Congyun didn't expect that he would get himself involved just for watching the fun. He shook his head and turned to look at the culprit, but he found that there was no figure behind him.

He was not annoyed at being used, he put away his purse and walked towards the street.

After finishing his business, Yin Congyun walked out of the town and came to the lake. He was surprised to find that he saw Liu Chenxiang again.

Completely different from her previous personality, Liu Chenxiang was walking quietly by the lake, the waves of the lake reflected on her, and she had a sense of freedom that belonged only to the world, which was what Yin Congyun longed for most in his life.

If he had been just a little curious about Liu Chenxiang before, he was now completely attracted to her and wanted to get to know her better.

So he walked towards her.

Liu Chenxiang was strolling leisurely by the lake, basking in the sun, and everything was quiet. Suddenly, she heard a voice of "wife" behind her. She thought it was a couple arguing or flirting, and the man was coaxing the woman.

Unexpectedly, the cry was getting closer and closer to her until it stopped beside her.

Yin Congyun: "My wife! We meet again!"

Liu Chenxiang stopped, looked at the face, and smiled politely, "You got the wrong person."

Yin Congyun also smiled and said, "You just called me husband, don't you recognize me now?"

"I don't know him." Liu Chenxiang said this coldly and walked away.

Yin Congyun was not discouraged and kept following her.

"My dear, I just helped you pay ten taels of silver. It must have been hard work, right?"

"My dear, you were the one who called me husband first, how could I forget it in a blink of an eye?"

"My dear, where are you going? Will your husband go with you?"

Liu Chenxiang was really annoyed by the noise, but she still held back her temper and was polite to him. After all, she had no money to pay back. "This gentleman."

"My name is Yin Congyun."

Liu Chenxiang: "Mr. Yin, this is our first meeting, so please don't be so frivolous."

Yin Congyun said firmly and seriously, "I really mean it!"

"What?" Liu Chenxiang suspected that he had heard it wrong and stopped.

Yin Congyun: "I'm telling you, I'm sincere. If you're willing, we can have our wedding tomorrow."

“Ah?…” An expression as if looking at a fool appeared on Liu Chenxiang’s calm face.

Yin Congyun thought she didn't hear clearly, and was about to repeat it again, "I said, Miss Ru..."

"Stop!" Liu Chenxiang interrupted him directly, "I will only marry someone who has reached the god level."

Yin Congyun paused, but still smiled, "Madam, you have great ambitions. Do you know that there are only four people in the world who have reached the god level?"

Liu Chenxiang: “I know.”

Yin Congyun: "Then why..."

Liu Chenxiang was also very determined at this time, "I will only marry someone who has enough ability to protect me. If not, I won't marry."

Yin Congyun: "Madam, what you said sounds like you also have supernatural powers?"

Liu Chenxiang laughed and said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't. If you can't do that, don't call me Madam all the time. Goodbye."

Liu Chenxiang was about to leave when Yin Congyun quickly grabbed her. But the next second, Liu Chenxiang waved her hand and a gust of wind blew, blinding Yin Congyun. When he regained his sight, Liu Chenxiang had already disappeared.

"You still say you don't have any divine power..." Yin Congyun looked at the hand that had just touched Liu Chenxiang. If it was just an ordinary woman, it would be impossible for her to escape from him.

Only marry a god-level person... This girl has very lofty ambitions. It seems that I have to go back and practice hard.

The current continent is divided into four major countries, one in each of the southeast, northwest and northeast. The so-called divine power is a special power that people on the continent rarely have. Because it is powerful and mysterious, it is called divine power.

Those who possess divine power can cultivate it to the highest level and become gods.

In this vast world, only the best among men with extraordinary talents can obtain divine powers. Since ancient times, only four people have reached the divine level.

The prince of the East Kingdom reached the god level when he was eleven years old. Ten years ago, he led an army of 300,000 to conquer the North Kingdom and killed almost all of the royal family. The current prince of the North Kingdom reached the god level when he was fifteen years old. Eight years ago, he led the old army of the North Kingdom to retake the North Kingdom. These two examples tell us that if you have strength, you can rule the world.

The princess of the Northern Kingdom reached the level of a god at the age of eight, but still could not resist the power of the Eastern Kingdom and died young. The eighth prince of the Southern Kingdom reached the level of a god at the age of ten, but he was weak and fell seriously ill. He was sent to a temple for recuperation and never returned to the capital for several years. He was neglected by the Southern Emperor. These two examples tell us that everyone has his own destiny.

Half a month passed in a flash. Liu Chenxiang heard that there were many new and interesting things in Anluo City, and there was also a mountain called Anluo where one could enjoy the beautiful sunset. So he wanted to come and enjoy the scenery. It took him half a month to get there after walking and stopping many times.

Not long after entering the city gate, Liu Chenxiang heard someone behind her calling "Madam, Madam". She didn't think much of it at first, but when she thought of the unpleasant experience last time and this familiar voice...

Liu Chenxiang had no time to confirm it and decided to run away!

Yin Congyun originally saw Liu Chenxiang in the crowd, but when he ran forward there was no figure. He even suspected that he was dazzled or not. After all, the town was far away from here. He had a carriage, but the little girl would take more than half a month to get there on foot.

Liu Chenxiang originally planned to find a place to stay in the city, then go to Anluo Mountain to watch the sunset, and then go back to the inn to take a shower and sleep. Now, in order to avoid the big Buddha, he had to go up the mountain first to see if there was a cave or a place to rest.

Anyway, Liu Chenxiang has been wandering around since she was a child. She has lived alone in the mountains for several years. The dangers in the mountains are nothing to her. When she is hungry, she catches fish, picks fruits and mushrooms to eat, and uses stones to build a fire to cook. If there is danger, she will just do it. The worst thing is death. She has developed her current savage-like physical fitness since she was a child.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, there is a strange feeling...

The mountain was filled with a terrifying atmosphere of cannibalism. An old man came down the mountain carrying firewood. Seeing Liu Chenxiang was about to go up the mountain, he blocked her way.

"Little girl, are you going up the mountain?"

Liu Chenxiang: “Yeah.”

"Whose girl are you to be so desperate? Haven't you heard that Anluo Mountain eats people?"

Liu Chenxiang smiled lightly, "Uncle, I know, I won't go to the top of the mountain."

The old man's nervous expression finally returned to normal, but he still gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Liu Chenxiang watched the old man leave completely before looking back at the entire mountain.

In addition to the beautiful sunset, there is also a legend about Anluo Mountain. It is said that there is a man-eating monster on the top of the mountain. If you go up to the middle of the mountain, you have to turn around, otherwise you will never come back.

Liu Chenxiang thought that the beautiful sunset was a cover to attract people to Anluo Mountain, to trick people into going up the mountain and then eating them. Liu Chenxiang must come to find out the truth about such a strange thing.

As we walked up, the atmosphere in the mountains was quite cold, but local people could still go up the mountain in groups to collect supplies or chop firewood. Most of them could not even reach the halfway point of the mountain.

The higher you go, the more gloomy the atmosphere becomes. Soon, you will reach what people call the halfway point of the mountain. Going higher, you will have a chance to encounter the so-called monster.

Liu Chenxiang was fearless and continued to move upwards. But the next second, Liu Chenxiang felt something strange and looked around, but nothing had changed.

She thought maybe she was wrong and continued walking.

After walking a few steps, Liu Chenxiang came to a natural lake. It was not particularly big, but the scenery was still nice. When Liu Chenxiang saw this, he realized that something was wrong. The atmosphere in the mountain seemed to disappear all of a sudden, leaving only the warmth of the sun.

Liu Chenxiang relaxed and walked to the lake to wash her face. When she took out her handkerchief to wipe it, she noticed flower petals floating on the water in the distance.

The lake is connected to a stream, and the petals come from upstream of the stream.

Liu Chenxiang was attracted and walked up along the stream. She walked slowly, which took the opportunity to appreciate the mountain scenery. She muttered to herself that she didn't encounter any monsters.

As we got closer to the top of the mountain, the air became fresher and the environment became more and more quiet. Strangely, the small animals we encountered on the road were all very friendly, with no trace of monsters at all.

The petals were still floating down the river. It didn't look like the flowers had fallen naturally, but rather like someone had scattered them. However, Liu Chenxiang thought that no one would be so bored, so she rejected this idea.
