The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her

Zhang Qiang and Li Gui are newly recruited water ghosts, with the lowest status and the least ability in Fengjiang River.

Smelling the rich and unique scent of incense and candles, their souls twisted with craving, yet they dared not step forward to compete with the other powerful water ghosts. Just then, they heard someone calling their names.

The incense and candles were offered as tribute to them!

Zhang Qiang and Li Gui were so excited they went crazy. They boldly stepped over the horde of water ghosts and emerged from the reeds. But as soon as they surfaced, the sunlight shone directly on their heads, causing them to howl and cry out in pain.

The water ghosts: ...The new ghosts are idiots.

"Zhang Qiang, Li Gui, come here." Jiang Ling waved her hand, cutting down a patch of reeds that landed on the river, creating a shady spot.

Zhang Qiang and Li Gui immediately broke through the water and swam to the bottom of the reeds.

Their faces contorted in pain, their eyes bloodshot. Unable to resist the craving, they stretched out pale fingers from the water, catching the scent of incense and stuffing them into their mouths.

Qin Zhaori, who had removed the talisman, stared wide-eyed at the sight.

Wang Jing'an couldn't see anything, and in his anxiety, he kowtowed, asking, "Where's the ghost?"

Jiang Ling moved her fingers and temporarily opened Wang Jing'an's spiritual eyes, allowing him to see the true face of the water ghost.

Wang Jing'an stared intently, then murmured in surprise, "So this is what a water ghost looks like!"

"Ah."

Jiang Ling nodded and explained to them, "Water ghosts are either reincarnated by a master or they find a living being to exchange for them. Water ghosts in major rivers are the hardest to catch."

This is why she used incense and candles to lure the water ghost.

After Jiang Ling and the other two water ghosts ate a few mouthfuls of incense, they finally managed to cut it off.

Zhang Qiang and Li Gui, unable to get any, became even more cravings once they did. Through the water, their swollen and distorted faces pleaded with Jiang Ling, "I want more!"

"Give me some! Give me some!"

Jiang Ling coldly glared at them, "Want to eat? Answer my question first! How did you die?"

Zhang Qiang and Li Gui instantly looked terrified.

Qin Zhaori snapped out of his daze and immediately said, "I am the Prefect of the Imperial Capital Guard! Speak! Who killed you! I will uphold justice and avenge you!"

"No!"

"No no no!"

Zhang Qiang and Li Gui looked even more terrified, frequently turning back to look at the bottom of the river, their ghosts trembling and contorting.

Jiang Ling wasn't surprised at all; what killed them wasn't human!

Why did she kill you?

"It's all your fault!" Zhang Qiang shoved Li Gui in fear and accused him, "You got Chunhua pregnant! If Chunhua dies, the River Goddess will punish us!"

Li Gui roared back, "Pah! The child in Chunhua's belly is clearly yours! You're the one who drove Chunhua to her death!"

"It wasn't me! It was you!"

"It's yours! You slept with Chunhua the most!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling and the other two looked utterly disgusted. The scum deserved to die!

suddenly!

The surrounding water ghosts scattered and fled.

Zhang Qiang and Li Gui froze, their arguing ceasing. They screamed in terror, begging for mercy: "River Goddess, spare us! I didn't run away!"

A whirlpool suddenly appeared at the bottom of the river, grabbing Zhang Qiang and Li Gui and dragging them deeper into the water.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ling immediately drew her lightning-struck wooden sword, its sword energy cleaving through the river water and splitting the whirlpool. Zhang Qiang and Li Gui were saved and fled into the distance without daring to look back.

Jiang Ling stared at the surging undercurrents at the bottom of the river, her eyes cold and sharp, and demanded loudly, "Did you kidnap my older brother? Give him back!"

"Celestial Master, humph!"

The woman's disdainful snort echoed in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the river surface surged with waves, each higher than the last.

Jiang Ling sensed something was wrong and immediately retreated, shouting, "Second Brother! Qin Zhaori, you guys run!"

"Wow--"

A massive three-meter-high wave swept ashore.

Jiang Ling acted swiftly, forming a wall of talismans to block the water wave, buying Wang Jing'an and the others time to retreat. But she hadn't expected the second wave to be even stronger!

The water wall, obscuring the sky and containing immense power, instantly tore the talisman apart.

The water wall was reflected in Jiang Ling's wide pupils.

The oppressive force was terrifying!

Enough to devour everything!

"Wow---"

"Ling'er, my little sister!" Wang Jing'an turned around and saw the waves receding back into the Fengjiang River. The spot was empty; Jiang Ling was gone!

Wang Jing'an panicked and ran back to find someone despite the danger: "Sister Ling'er!"

"Miss Jiang Ling!" Qin Zhaori quickly turned around to look for her.

"drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves was rapid.

Murong Yan arrived with the Blood Eagle Guards, picked up Jiang Yuyan, and dismounted.

They could see the two terrifying walls of water from afar.

Now that the water wall was gone, and hearing Wang Jing'an and Qin Zhaori's panicked cries, Murong Yan's heart clenched, aching terribly. His arm, which was holding Jiang Yuyan, trembled slightly.

He rushed over immediately, his phoenix eyes scanning the surroundings with sharp, urgent intent, and shouted, "Where is Jiang Ling?!"

Wang Jing'an was almost in tears, "Ling'er is missing!"

Qin Zhaori stared at the river and shouted in panic, "Jiang Ling must have been swept into the river!"

"Mommy can't swim!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyan panicked and struggled to get down from Murong Yan's arms. His sweet, childlike voice was trembling with tears: "Mother can't swim! Mother is in danger! Your son must save Mother!"

"My dear child, you can't go down! Uncle Yan promises you, he will definitely bring your mother back safely!"

Murong Yan handed Jiang Yuyan to Wang Jing'an, saying, "Keep an eye on the baby!"

Then he personally led the Blood Eagle Guards and jumped into the Fengjiang River...

Looking at the group of people splashing and diving on the river, Qin Zhaori was dumbfounded and exclaimed in panic, "The Regent's leg! Can he go into the water?"

"No! I have to go down and look for him too!" Wang Jing'an turned around and handed Jiang Yuyan to Qin Zhaori. "Your Excellency, please be sure to protect my little nephew!"

"and many more!"

Qin Zhaori couldn't stop them, so he could only anxiously pace around with the baby in his arms.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Jiang Yuyan tried to use a spell to call for someone: "Mother, come back quickly!"

Unfortunately, the Fengjiang River was too wide and too large, and it had just surged with towering waves, making the current extremely turbulent and dangerous. Jiang Yuyan was still too young and inexperienced to control the river.

"Wow--"

"Gurgle, gurgle—"

The river was flowing erratically, and silt was being stirred up, making it impossible to see the surroundings clearly.

Murong Yan searched underwater without success. He held his breath until he reached his limit and had to swim upwards for air. Bei Yan swam towards him, popped his head out, and called out, "Your Highness, please come ashore!"

Murong Yan ignored him and took a deep breath before diving down again.

I searched for it once.

Again!

They never succeeded.

Murong Yan's heart pounded with growing panic, and his eyes reddened. He dared not calculate how much time had passed, nor could he imagine the outcome of not finding Jiang Ling.

He could only be firm on one point!

He must find Jiang Ling!

Did we not dive deep enough?

Murong Yan's eyes were obsessive and sharp as he resolutely dived into the depths of the Fengjiang River. The light grew dimmer and dimmer, and in the dangerous undercurrents, there seemed to be some shadowy and ghostly thing lingering around Murong Yan.

The water ghost is here!

Murong Yan glanced at the wound on the back of his hand out of the corner of his eye; it was from something cutting him while he was diving. The blood seeped into the wound, and the fragrance of his noble destiny and special physique drove the water ghosts into a frenzy.

Murong Yan exhaled a string of bubbles, feeling like his lungs were about to burst.

But he did not back down. He drew the dagger from his waist and swept his bloodthirsty, savage eyes over the water ghost.

What's stopping him from finding Jiang Ling?

Then let the ghost die again!
