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

"Murong Yan, be careful!"

As soon as Jiang Ling called out, Murong Yan immediately walked to her side, looked up sharply at the statue, and scolded, "Playing tricks, get out here!"

"Bang bang bang-"

The doors and windows slammed shut instantly, dimming the light inside and making the shadows around the statue frightening.

Murong Yan immediately drew his dagger, his eyes fierce and arrogant as he stared at the statue.

"for you!"

Jiang Ling held a lightning-struck wooden sword in one hand and handed Murong Yan a sharp sword with the other. The two stood back to back, waiting for the River Goddess to appear so they could stab her twice!

However, the so-called River Goddess did not reveal her true form.

She manipulated the statue, looking down at Jiang Ling and Murong Yan, and angrily shouted, "Zhang Qiang and Li Gui deserve to die!"

"Chunhua and her grandmother depended on each other for survival. At a young age, she delivered wine to the distillery just to fill her stomach, but she was threatened and violated by these two beasts. Chunhua was only thirteen years old when she suffered a miscarriage and hemorrhage and died. Her grandmother was all alone and jumped into the Fengjiang River."

"I killed them to uphold justice!"

"I want those two beasts, Zhang Qiang and Li Gui, to be eternal water ghosts in the Fengjiang River, never to be reincarnated! If you want to save them, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Jiang Ling's expression turned cold. "You've got it wrong! That beast of a scumbag doesn't deserve to die. I'm here to find my older brother, Wang Jingkang!"

She stared coldly and sharply at the face of the statue.

With a slight turn of his wrist, the lightning-struck wooden sword emitted a spiritual light, ready to strike!

Jiang Ling questioned the statue: "The woman Zhang Qiang and Li Gui harassed before they died, wasn't that you? My elder brother may not have known anything, but helping you out was a good deed. My elder brother's disappearance is inextricably linked to you!"

"That's right, I took him away."

The idol has acknowledged it.

Jiang Ling immediately rebuked her: "Give me back my elder brother. As long as he's safe and sound, we'll leave! We'll pretend we were never here!"

"No!"

Jiang Ling's eyes narrowed, and she pointed her sword at the stone statue, threatening in a cold voice: "Do you really think I can't do anything to you? Believe me or not, I'll burn down your River God Temple!"

"Celestial Master, don't you believe in karma? This is what he owes me! Even if you burn down the River God Temple, you still won't see him!"

After a pause, the statue added, "He will return home after tonight."

After he finished speaking, the statue returned to its original state.

Jiang Ling frowned, gripping the sword hilt with one hand and using the other to perform divination.

What is the karmic connection between the River Goddess and the elder brother?

Why can I go home after tonight?

Murong Yan seemed to remember something. Staring at the tightly closed doors and windows, he said in a strange tone, "Jiang Ling, the villagers outside are preparing for the river god's wedding ceremony. Our elder brother, are you perhaps the groom?"

"what?"

Jiang Ling also realized what was happening.

Her expression was priceless; she couldn't put her feelings into words.

Murong Yan then said, "She said that my elder brother will go home by himself tomorrow, so does that mean we don't need to save him?"

"no!"

Jiang Ling shook her head repeatedly, her eyes cold and sharp as she stared at the statue. She explained to him, "No matter what she is, she is not human! Once the ritual is successfully completed and they become husband and wife, my brother's life will be tied up."

"And another thing! My brother didn't know her before, so this was definitely not his choice! I must find my brother!"

She had long regarded the people of the General of the North's Mansion as family!

She couldn't stand by and watch Wang Jingkang marry a non-human river goddess. Unless it was Wang Jingkang's own choice, she had to stop it!

Jiang Ling walked to the door, but couldn't push it open.

He kicked it, and the doors and windows rippled with light, proving they were indestructible.

Jiang Ling frowned. Did the River Goddess intend to lock them up until tomorrow?

You're underestimating her!

Just as Jiang Ling was about to attack and break down the door, Murong Yan's voice came from behind: "Jiang Ling, come and take a look at this!"

"what have you found?"

Jiang Ling went around to the back of the statue and found an ancient stone tablet standing there.

Most of the characters carved on the stone tablet were blurry and illegible. They had to expend a lot of effort, guessing and piecing together the context, before they could barely make out the contents.

"In a fishing village on the banks of the Fengjiang River, there lived a woman named Miaonu, who was skilled in swimming like a fish and saved countless lives over the years. At the age of twenty, she saved the son of a wealthy merchant but perished in the river. In gratitude for Miaonu's kindness, a monument was erected and a temple was built, and the villagers revered her as the River Goddess."

Murong Yan's voice is deep and magnetic, and his narration is both captivating and sensual.

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, "The wondrous woman is the River Goddess!"

"Look here, there are the names of the people who erected the stele and repaired the temple." Murong Yan squatted down, reached out and wiped away the dirt from the lower right corner of the stele, revealing the names.

He said in surprise, "Lu Kangliu."

Jiang Ling suddenly remembered that Miao Nu said her older brother owed her!

Could it be?

"Protect me!" Jiang Ling immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

She took out divination tools from her leather pouch. Using the names of Miao Nu and Lu Kang, she began to deduce the past against the current…

Time passed second by second, and the sun began to set in the west.

Jiang Ling's forehead was covered in sweat.

Murong Yan quietly watched over her. Seeing the beads of sweat on her forehead, his fingers twitched slightly, wanting to wipe them away, but he was afraid of disturbing her.

"Phew! I got it." Jiang Ling's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

At that moment, I felt a soft, dry touch on my forehead.

Murong Yan finally managed to wipe the sweat from her forehead and cheeks, feeling satisfied. He gave Jiang Ling a bewitchingly gentle smile. "Are you tired? Do you want to lean on me and rest for a while?"

Jiang Ling turned her head away, pursed her lips, and said, "...No need."

She stood up, stretching her limbs as she explained, "Lu Kang was my elder brother's past-past-past incarnation. Miao Nu died because of him, which is why she said my elder brother owed her. But even if he wanted to make amends, it shouldn't be through marriage in this life!"

"It's getting dark, we can't delay any longer!"

Jiang Ling picked up her lightning-struck wooden sword, walked to the doorway, and prepared to unleash her power. She called out, "Murong Yan, step back a little."

Murong Yan paused for a moment. He had always been at the forefront of the attack, and no one dared to make him retreat.

But looking at Jiang Ling, Murong Yan's eyes flashed, and he obediently took a step back.

"boom!"

Jiang Ling cleaved the gate open with a single sword strike.

As soon as the door broke down, the sounds of gongs and drums, and joyful laughter from outside reached my ears.

"The River Goddess is getting married!"

"The groom is so handsome! Congratulations, River Goddess!"

"The auspicious time has arrived! Time for the wedding ceremony!"

Jiang Ling frowned and immediately rushed out of the River God Temple. Murong Yan followed closely behind.

Upon exiting, they saw the open space of the river god temple filled with offerings of cattle, sheep, pigs, fish, and fruit. The villagers formed a circle around it, with a bonfire blazing in the center, illuminating the darkness.

A couple dressed in wedding attire bow to heaven and earth.

Second visit to the River God Temple.

The three couples bowed to each other!

Dressed in festive red, Wang Jingkang was stiff as the beautiful woman led him in bowing. His eyes bulged as if struggling, and he couldn't control his body. Just as the couple was about to complete their vows, Wang Jingkang was covered in sweat.

No!

He's a real man, how could he be forced into marriage!

"stop!"

Jiang Ling cleaved the campfire in two with a single sword strike, sending sparks and wood flying everywhere. The villagers screamed in terror and retreated.

The beautiful woman's smile vanished. She turned around coldly and shouted angrily, "Celestial Master, why did you have to ruin my plans!"

"Because my older brother doesn't want to marry you!"

Jiang Ling walked over, pointed her sword at Miao Nu, and said coldly, "Miao Nu, forced love is never sweet! Let go of my brother!"
